Unfortunately, despite the fact that the United States has come a long way in writing and passing laws designed to protect workers from facing discrimination in the work place, it still happens every day. Millions of working Americans are affected by workplace discrimination and have the right to seek protection and compensation for their damages as a result of that discrimination.
Workplace discrimination comes in many different forms, and many people are not fully aware of them all causing a failure to report the discrimination. Here are most of the types of workplace discrimination:
- Age
- Sex
- Religion
- Sexual Preference
- Disability
- Race
- National Origin
- Pregnancy
The effects of workplace discrimination can be staggering in range. Some victims are only made to be uncomfortable at the hands of their aggressor, while others face wage discrimination, emotional or mental damage, or even demotion or termination. None of these are acceptable for any worker to have to endure based upon something like their gender or creed.
If you have been discriminated against at work, know that you are not alone. This unfair treatment that you have faced is a serious violation of your rights and the law. While you may feel nervous or intimidated to report the discrimination that you have faced, as many people do, their are laws in place to protect your from any retaliation.
If you are feeling concerned about reporting the discrimination, or have already faced retaliation for reporting it, you need to contact and employment attorney to review your rights and lawsuit options.
If you or someone you know has been the victim of discrimination at work, or if you suspect that you may be, it is important that you consult with an experienced employment attorney to ensure that there has been no violation of rights. Consider the fact that by hiring an attorney to seek damages for this cruel violation, you are most likely encouraging others to come forward and preventing others from suffering at the same hands in the future.

A Song For Bill Robinson
This is a book I originally tried to write when I was sixteen years old. I got about three-quarters of the way through before I gave up, started writing something else, and stuffed it into a suitcase. The character of Bill started bothering me again, so I wrote two short stories about him, Nightprowler and Bird People. You can read them in my short story collection Bird People and Other Stories, (available in ebook and paperback) which was released May 2016. These short stories were meant to put Bill off for a bit, hold him back, but the opposite happened. He got so loud I had to drag my suitcase out from under the bed and go through what I'd written at 16. I was surprised and charmed by how much I'd written at that age, and how much it inspired me to get this story finished. This book needs one or two final edits and I hope to release it in Summer 2019. You can read more about this book in Untold Stories
Emily's Baby (working title)
This is the sequel to A Song For Bill Robinson. This was not supposed to happen but at the end of the book I had so many more ideas for these characters, and so many twists and turns I just couldn't resist. This book is finished but needs a few more edits so does not have a release date yet and I also need to redo the ending.
The Boy With The Thorn In His Side – Part Five
Changes to Part Four inevitably set things up for a Part Five It seems I just can't leave these characters alone! I have now written the first, very rough draft of Part Five in long-hand, in a notebook. I'll be leaving this alone for some time while I sort out other books that have been waiting, so there is no release date for this one yet.
The Boy With The Thorn In His Side – Part Six
This book will be the final book in the series. I like that the first three books are set when Danny is a teenager, and the second three books are set when he is an adult and dealing with the repercussions of the past. I have a loose plot outline for this book but have not started writing it yet.
The Day The Earth Turned (Books 1-4 working title)
This story was an unexpected surprise and one that has grown rapidly in size, meaning and impact. I wrote a short story called A Mother's Tears, which I gave away with an author newsletter. I don't want to go into the details too much, as one, the author newsletters are exclusive to those sign up to receive them, and two, I am so excited about this possible book that I want to keep it to myself for now. Since A Mother's Tears, I have written and attached several other short stories which basically serve as chapter samples and character snapshots for this series. I am currently working on this book when I get a chance, with the aim of writing a chapter a day. This is going to be an epic YA horror/post-apocalyptic series and I have the feeling it will pull me in and keep me prisoner for a long time… So, if you want to know more all you have to do is sign up to my author newsletter here… Author Newsletter
We Hate The Cool Kids (working title)
A while ago I was driving to my writing group when an old song came on the radio, which caused me to think about something I had forgotten about. Before I arrived at my group, I had a short story, if not a whole novel running around inside my head. It was inspired by the memories and images the song conjured up. Teenage girls. Dusty woods. Enemies. Revenge. I wrote the short story She Is… which is included in Bird People and Other Stories and I have recently started another short story, which basically takes off where She Is…ends. Update March 2019; this book really leaped into my head lately and I couldn't ignore it anymore, so I've started a very rough draft in a notebook. This is jumping the queue quite a lot, and The Day The Earth Turned should really be the priority but I'm kind of used to writing more than one book at a time and I like having a long-hand project on the go, so we will see what happens!
The Ugly One (working title)
This is another book I first wrote as a teenager. I don't have the full manuscript anymore, sadly, but I do have a fair bit of it, and the rest is in my head. At the time I got about three quarters of the way through before I gave up for reasons I cannot recall. Recently I have been thinking about the two extremely dysfunctional main characters Adam and Jude, and wondering how their story would have ended…It was a bit of a revenge thriller, and if I wrote it again I would set it in the 1990s and have it jump between their actions as teenagers, and the present day as adults. So again…watch this space but I won't be getting to it for a very long time.
Sequels in planning or progress…
Return To The Tree Of Rebels
This is the sequel to the Tree Of Rebels. This book has been plotted to a rough extent and I have written about half of it in the first draft. This book is not calling to me at all at the moment so nothing will happen here until it does.
I have started the sequel to The Mess Of me called The Mess Of Us and it is set two years after the first book ends. I'm not sure when I will get back to this book. It calls to me quite a lot, and is about a third written and completely plotted out…however I am at the mercy of who shouts loudest in the above list!!

Speaking to radio host John Castimatidis on AM 970 in New York, McCaughey said, "If he can't do his job as Speaker, to hold these Republicans together and get a repeal and replace bill through, somebody else should be Speaker."
Betsy McCaughey, the former lieutenant governor of New York, said that "Obamacare is in a death spiral," and accused Speaker Ryan of pushing for "Obamacare-lite."
McCaughey is not the first Republican to oppose the Ryan plan to replace Obamacare. House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC) said that the Ryan plan's refundable tax credits could amount to a new "entitlement program." Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX) has said that taxing expensive employer-sponsored health insurance plans creates a new "Cadillac tax."

Paul Ryan should have never got the position he has, as speaker. He is an Obama loving shitbag , who's only concern is his own agenda and has done nothing for the people who elected him. He is a Forked toughed lier, who will say one thing and do another,all while screwing the American tax payer.
Maybe a petition can be put up to get him out of office. We have to show the rinos that we run the country not them.
I write to Ryan at least once a week. Here is is his email contact in the House.
Every week I ask him to step down if he continues to stab President Trump in the back. He does not have the President's or the nations interest in his heart. I often how these Anti-American types rise to power.
I Urge everyone who reads this to send your personal message to Ryan. Perhaps if we flood his in box he may see that we don't like what he is doing, and not doing when it comes to supporting our President and his agenda.
Do you really believe ryan cares what voters think about him ?
We have to be organize first where as many as us can write, call, email everyday to our respective representative to FIRE HIM.
why is it so hard to repeal something that congress has exempted themselves from
The battle is not over,we need to remove paul ryan
I was against Paul Ryan from day one and told my congressman and senator to vote against him. They did and we got him anyway.
We need to keep beating the drum to get rid of Paul Ryan for the people don't want him.
Barry, we need to do that on a national scale by people like us.
Ryan is a joke
REPEAL obviously is a bad word in D.C. - and rare event. I suppose it's admitting a mistake and 'lawmakers' never make mistakes that can't be fixed rather than repealed.

More like sticky kittyFor someone that had never used any type of lubricant before, Slippery Kitty was a great place to start. It was inexpensive and maybe small in size compared to some other water based lubes that I looked at, but it got the job done. I have been using it for several days with no problems, and I am enjoying every minute of it.
Can use small amount, water based
Can get sticky, may have to reapply
Slippery Kitty is a water based lubricant. You can use lube during actual intercourse with your partner, or when using your toys. I purchased this lube to try because it was water based and it was a decent price. Being someone that has never used a lubricant before, I picked one that would be universally alright to use with my toys. This product will work for beginners and advanced users alike. Water based lube is easy to clean up and won't destroy your toys. I researched some of the ingredients in this lubricant and found that the one most people are concerned with is the glycerin. There seems to be some debate about whether the glycerin in Slippery Kitty can encourage yeast infections. I am not someone who is prone to a lot of those, but I will keep an eye out just in case.
Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity
Slippery Kitty is a water based lubricant that contains Water, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Glycerin, PEG, Carboxymethyl Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sodium Benzoate, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate), Propylene Glycol, Tetrasodium EDTA, Dimethicone Copolyol, Methylparaben, and Imidizolidinyl Urea. It wasn't very thick but a little goes a long way, which is a good thing since the bottle is only 2 fl. oz. It was very easy to pour and it wasn't very thick.
Taste / Aroma
At first touch it was very velvety. It had no taste at all to me, but then again I only tasted a very small bit of it. When I opened the container I didn't detect any smell. This product didn't remind me of any product that I have used in the past.
After using it for about 20 minutes, it began to feel a bit sticky, and not too long after that I had to reapply it. After finishing, I used warm soapy water to clean myself and my toys with no long lasting effects. What I liked best about the product was that I didn't have to use very much to get started. Now if you're one of those people who have marathon sex sessions every time that you have sex, you may find yourself reapplying Slippery Kitty several times. I didn't like that it starts feeling sticky after awhile. That was a big turn-off.
Although the product was sealed when I received it, it was tied in a plastic bag to prevent anything from potentially leaking out. There are instructions printed on the back of the bottle, and the bottle is small enough that it can be carried in your purse. I would recommend placing the bottle in a plastic bag to prevent any mishaps from occurring.
Personal comments
I would definitely use this lube many times in the future. It was simple to use and easy to apply. After using it for several days, I haven't found any irritation and it made the sex play that much easier to get started.
I found that after applying this lube, I didn't have to worry about my lady parts drying out from overexertion. Although I would prefer if it didn't get sticky, the stickiness wasn't enough to turn me away from using this product for many days to come.
Follow-up commentary 28 days after original review
I have had a month of using this and I still have a good bit in my bottle. I wish the lube came in a bigger bottle, but overall, I am still very happy with this. Using this lube has made me open to more lubes, so now I will be investigating what is out there. I definitely recommend this to new users.
This product was provided at a discounted price in exchange for an unbiased review. This review is in compliance with the FTC guidelines.
Great review! I have Slippery Kitty too, but didn't love it because lube always irritates me when it dries. It does kind of help with shaving though! Makes things go smoother and seems to prevent nicks and shave bumps! Thanks for the review.
I didn't know you could use it for shaving. Thanks for commenting
Thanks for the review and the ingredient list.
Thanks for the review!
Thanks for commenting. I would actually never thought to add the ingredients but when I was looking to see what was what with lubes I noticed many people could have allergies to ingredients in them. Thanks for commenting also, MissMandii!
Great review. My fiance tried the shaving with lube thing. it didn't do any help. How much do you use? Do you use shave gel too?
Helpful review, thank you!
Appreciate great review!
Good review!

The Sephora App always gets me! I was browsing , checking what was new, when I saw this new First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 (what a long name!) and it caught my attention.
After reading a few reviews – since it's a brand new product, I've decided to purchase the shade light instead of medium. And boy was I right?
The shade light is very yellow toned, but it can look quite orange under certain lights. I really don' like tinted moisturizers and BB/CC creams that look pink or red for my yellow undertone. It looks very fake… So I'm always excited when I see a brand coming out with warmer tones rather than your go-to cool undertones.For comparison, here's the IT Cosmetics CC Cream in Medium besides the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 in Light.
Disregard my attempt to use my touchscreen laptop (finally putting it for some good use). The shades are not the same, meaning… This is not a proper comparison because one shade is medium and the other one is light. However, that gives you a good idea of how light the First Aid Beauty Tinted Moisturizer is and if you can get away with it instead of the shade medium. It smells a little bit like sunscreen, which is not my main concern but I would like a more elegant product that doesn't take me right to the beach everytime I apply it on my face. According to Sephora's website, these are the star ingredients of this product:
- Colloidal Oatmeal: Helps calm and soothe dry or distressed skin.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Supports skin's natural moisture content, helps skin appear smoother, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Vitamin E: Provides antioxidants, helps condition and soothe skin and stave off environmental aggressors.
- Micro-Pearls: Finely milled minerals with light-reflecting properties that amplify skin's natural radiance for a beautifully luminous effect.
- Avobenzone 3%, Octinoxate 7.5%, Octisalate 5%, Octocrylene 7.5%: Sunscreen.
If you don't know what those sunscreen actives are, just understand that this tinted moisturizer is a chemical sunscreen and NOT a physical sunscreen. Which means, instead of acting like a shield on top of your skin, it is absorbed by your skin and it actually absorbs the sun rays in its barrier (protecting your skin from it) instead of reflecting them, like the physical sunscreen does.
I've decided to give it a try after getting a facial, so please keep in mind my skin was extra moisturized and exfoliated, so I can't guarantee that it won't cling into dry patches. But anyway, it's quite thick and you put on, so I recommend applying it on one side of your face first and then moving onto the next. It blends beautifully but it needs some work. It's that type of tinted moisturizer that you gotta earn the beautiful finish by blending it well.
*make sure to blend downwards if you have peach fuzz like me.
The finish is beautiful. It looks better than my SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Tinted Sunscreen, which is one of my favorite sunscreens (SPF 32). It looks and feels like a foundation, to be honest! It definitely doesn't feel like a simple sunscreen or moisturizer. So if you think about it, you're paying $27 for 1 fl oz, it is basically a foundation that you will wear everyday, and it has skin-friendly ingredients. Kinda like the It Cosmetics CC Cream, but the First Aid Beauty Tinted Moisturizer is WAY BETTER than the It Cosmetics CC Cream. The only downside is that I can feel it on my skin. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels a little bit tacky and you feel like you are wearing sunscreen. Maybe I've applied too much?
So far I am really happy with this tinted moisturizer, but I am not sure if I will repurchase. My SkinMedica Tinted Sunscreen costs $38 for 1.85 oz, which is also up there in price, but it's a mineral sunscreen, which I prefer more over physical sunscreen. We'll see!
UPDATE: if you put on TOO much, like I did whilst writing this review, you WILL FEEL THIS MOISTURIZER ON YOUR SKIN, and it's so crazy irritating! Seriously, don't apply too much. Also, my skin is oily, so I it feels very dewy. If you have the same skin type as mine, and you don't like the dewy finish, powder will be your best friend. Also, this moisturizer did not break me out, so yay!

Attwood Wisdom of the Week: Safety | Performance | Innovation
You could say the road to Great Meadow International 2018 was paved in Attwood footing. Well, maybe paved would not be the right word but you get the gist. Looking back at that competition, it was truly inspiring to know so many of the competing athletes were prepping on Attwood Surfaces.
From the newly expanded arena at Phillip Dutton's True Prospect Farm, to multi rings and gallop at Boyd Martin's Windurra USA to Liz Millikin's lovely Lion's Gate Farm to Will Faudree's spectacular Gavilan Farm. That's a lot of footing! Because these riders depend on us so much they are much more than clients, they are our family.
We believe that a horse's health and soundness can be greatly impacted by its daily training surface. That's why we are constantly testing our footing to find innovative solutions for safety and performance.
Want to know more about the most advanced footing solutions on the market today please call Attwood Equestrian Surfaces at 888-461-7788.

At the Peak of Kilimanjaro
Spirituality can be very personal. Some spend their whole lives in search of spiritual awakening and never find it; some spend their days enacting restrictions to their life for the sake of pure or righteous living. Regardless, spiritual awakenings and discoveries rarely come by staying still in our own lives but rather through walking out the door and encountering the world around us.
Walking and trekking are great ways to do just this, giving us the opportunity to feel our bodies move amongst trees and natural landscapes and encounter the world anew. One of the best places in the world to encounter the divine, the spiritual, or merely our own smallness in the vast space of our world is the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
One Kilimanjaro trekker said that standing on the summit made her realise that we humans are small and insignificant and yet this was not depressing but freeing, it let her know that our lives are relatively nothing, therefore what we do with our lives and how we spend our times is incredibly important.
Her revelation has brought her back to trek Kilimanjaro again and again in the hopes of new spiritual revelations at the peak.
Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the most desirable mountain climbs in the world, and as Africa's highest peak at 19,340 feet (5,895 meters), sitting right on the equator, this glorious mountain is one of the most beautiful as well. The climb is not overly difficult (it certainly doesn't compare to K2 or Everest), it is more of a long trek.
This makes it quite accessible, as great skill and fitness are not necessary, though they are helpful. Still an ascent will take you around 5 to 7 days. The hardest part of a 'Mount Kili' climb is adjusting to altitude and climatic changes as you ascend. Those who haven't made it to the top often fail due to altitude sickness or low stamina, not falling.
Your greatest asset to this climb is good planning, developing your stamina and ensuring you go up with a good guide. Most who entrust their journey to a good guide do complete the ascent.
Mount Kilimanjaro's great allure is not only the relative ease with which it is possible to make the ascent. Kilimanjaro is a place of spiritual awakening for many. As trekkers gasp for breath due to altitude changes and rest and wait to recover before moving on, the journey to the top can be a literal and spiritual breath of fresh air providing valuable insight and freedom in personal lives.
Many who have departed and begun their ascent feeling defeated and overcome, return from their ascent of Kilimanjaro as whole and healed people. Often our physical distresses are related to our emotional and spiritual health.
Trekking can force us to face our personal demons by overcoming our own physical pain to force us to carry on and reach the top. This physical struggle can mirror spiritual and emotional ones thus creating a cathartic release when you reach the peak.
While spirituality can be very personal, there are some places that free us to encounter the spiritual more than others and Tanzania's great mountain is one of those amazing places. Realising our smallness can often be the trick to releasing us to live big, extraordinary lives.
Key Newey, the author of the "At the Peak of Kilimanjaro" is copywriter who has experienced many spiritual awakenings in hard to reach natural places, but not yet Kilimanjaro. She currently writes for Africa Sky holidays.

Bin Laden Has Gone to Hell
Right about now, Bin Laden is finding out that he is not in paradise but in a place much warmer. It is good news that the old evil pervert is dead, although at this point it is mostly just joy that I no longer have to share the earth with him. His actual power has been declining for a long time. I hope he died a nasty but natural death. As much as there would be satisfaction that we killed him, it is better for the long term if he died of something prosaic like complication of diabetes, cancer or AIDS. I am sure my note will be overtaken by events. We will update as updates become available.Posted by Christine & John at May 1, 2011 10:56 PM
On Al-Jazzera, I heard that OBL was killed by a drone a week ago.
Glad to see the guy is gone, although its too bad he wasn't captured alive. I'd rather have seen him go through the humiliation of standing trial and rotting away in prison.Posted by: Warped Reality at May 1, 2011 11:10 PM
I am afraid if the old goat f*er had been captured alive, we would have to put up with people claiming we violated his rights.
It is funny. I have to admit feeling strange. I am joyful at the death of this evil man. I surprise myself. I have to get up to go to work at 5am. I should go to sleep, but I just have to wait to see.
I remember 9/11 and how I felt then. I know that logically this does not end the story, but I sure am happy that he is dead. I hope he went hard and if there is a hell, he is now there.Posted by: C&J at May 1, 2011 11:18 PM

Rasmussen poll—-Obama approval rating at 99%.
No president should take credit for either Saddam or BinLaden. These were missions that were supposed to be ongoing and conducted by our people in those areas who we hope know what they are doing. If the reports are true then I am glad we got him, but I am not rejoicing and jumping up and down. Al-Queda is still very much alive and progressing.

From the Emanuael Dead Fish Book of Standard Operations.
Don't let any opportunity go by without milking it for everything its worth and the cow screams CEASE AND DESIST!!!
This should be moment of thankfullness for our men who did the work of getting him.
…..and speaking of dead fish….that is exactly what the A-hole is doing..feeding the fishies… "burial at sea".
I can't wait for the first idiot to post their questions and doubts regarding (if) what took place.
Tom, do you mean like the cowboy fighter pilot and MISSION ACOMPLISHED? The right cheered themselves voiceless and for what? So Howdy Doody could do some grandstanding when tens of thousands, including thousands of American troops where still to die.
I have my bones to pick with Obama, but he proved himself to be a president yesterday.
I don't see the threat as any greater today than it was yesterday. There has hardly been a month go by, since 9ll that Al-Qaeda hasn't attacked somewhere or been caught in the act before they could.
We don't know what is to come. The line about Ben Laden and Al-Qaeda being mass murders of Muslims might start sinking in. I doubt it, but it is a possibility.
Tdobson, politicize? I have no problem envisioning what the right would be saying about Obama if this happy occasion had been a disastrous occasion. Perhaps you would have waited till tomorrow.Posted by: jlw at May 2, 2011 8:15 PM

This will make things better.
We have to be culturally appropriate. The PC thing to do was to kill bin Laden. These guys understand revenge and expect it. We would have been acting in a culturally insensitive way if we had let him live.Posted by: C&J at May 2, 2011 8:30 PM

MBE System
Working principle:
Provide high energy to target material by difference sources (such as by effusion cell, RF plasma, e-beam evaporation, ozone delivery system, etc). The target material will be heated and vapored. The vapored material will condense on the substrate and form a thin film. As MBE takes place in Ultra high vacuum (UHV) (10-9澳门网上赌博 torr), the deposition rate can be slow and that allow the film to growth epitaxially.
- Wide selection of deposition source and metrology tools
- Multiple Deposition Sources
- UHV Environment (< 1 x 10-10 Torr Base Pressure)
- 6 Rotatable PLD Targets
- Full computer control with data logging
- Advanced In-Situ Sample temperature and Film Thickness Monitoring
- Tailored Pumping Combinations
- III-V, II-VI, II-Oxides, III-Nitrides, Si, Ge, Metal, Dielectric, and other Materials

Variety is the spice of life! How often do we hear or say this when it comes to our choices in food, clothing and daily activities? We are always mixing up our weekend festivities, trying new foods, and searching for the hottest new trends, all in the attempt to stake off boredom and keep life interesting.
Yet day in and day out, I walk around the fitness center and I see a lot of the same people on the SAME machines! Shouldn't that same mantra apply to our cardio workouts? We have one of the largest selections of cardiovascular equipment around and yet the runners will only run and the bikers only bike. Don't get me wrong, I have my favorites too, but don't forget to experience a little change! There are so many benefits to switching it up!
Benefit #1: It keeps your body guessing!
When sticking with just one form of cardio for your workouts, it naturally becomes easier with time. Not only are you increasing your cardiovascular endurance and stamina, but the muscles you use to perform that particular motion, be it pedaling, running, or walking, become more efficient. By switching up your choice of cardiovascular machines, you are causing muscle confusion throughout your body. Whether you are activating new muscle groups, or using the same ones in a different manner, they are less efficient and therefore, forced to work harder to complete the exercise. Come watch me try a half hour spin class and you will see what I mean! OUCH!
Benefit #2: Gives your joints a break
As a runner, I am a firm believer in using cross training regularly. At Northeastern University, our coach would have us take one or two days a week off of running on the road to cross train. This was done not only to help us perform better through muscle confusion, but to give our knees, hips and shins a break from the constant impact they faced while running in the city. Our days of cross training would consist of using the upright bike, elliptical, arc trainer, or pool running, all low impact. Cardio is generally high repetitions of one particular motion and can cause wear and tear on our joints, yes even the low impact machines. Change it up and spare your knees and hips!
Benefit #3: Active Recovery = Mental Recovery
Whether these different forms of cardio were performed at a higher or lower intensity, we always saw them as a day of active recovery, not only for our joints but also as a mental recovery from running everyday. As with strength training, having variety in your cardio workout keeps things interesting, especially if you find cardio painfully boring! Whenever a member tells me they hate cardio, I'll give them 3 or 4 different machines and tell them to try 5-10 minutes on each machine when they come in. Add all that time together and you have 20-40 minutes of cardio for each visit, yet you're not stuck on the same machine.
Don't be afraid of change, change is good! And if you need some suggestions, always feel free to ask!

text: A "Nantucket sleigh ride" is an old whaling term: "Sailors would harpoon a whale, and the whale would drag the sailors on a frantic race across the ocean — for hours — for days — until the whale had died or the sailors had drowned." In his attempts to recover a memory of an event that happened on a faraway island 35 years before, Nantucket Sleigh Ride plunges a New York playwright-turned-venture capitalist (to be played by John Larroquette) into a whirlpool of a giant lobster, Roman Polanski, a pornography ring, Walt Disney, a murder, stranded children, and Jorge Luis Borges, with the most unexpected results. This production marks the return of playwright John Guare and director Jerry Zaks to Lincoln Center Theater, where their critically acclaimed productions of The House of Blue Leaves and Six Degrees of Separation premiered.

Top Wood Fired Pizza Ovens
Wood Fired Pizza Ovens for Your Favorite Backyard Party Host
If there's someone on your Christmas (or any gift) list who loves backyard BBQ's, cookouts, cooking, pizza or smoked meats a wood-fired pizza oven might just be the ticket to making them the King (or Queen) of this summer's backyard parties!
In our house, we've started dreaming about owning and operating a small town brewery and pizzeria and are increasingly convinced that a wood-fired pizza would be the perfect accompaniment to locally brewed beers in a small Wyoming town.
So whether your looking for a great gift for the backyard entertaining enthusiast or the entrepreneurial micro-brew minded member of your family, a wood-fired pizza oven just may be the very best choice! I know that I would just about die of happiness if I found one of these wrapped up in a large bow for Christmas, a birthday or any ole-day as a motivation to get to making some Pizza Crust and dreaming up the perfect toppings for some summer fun and fabulous dining opportunities from your very own home!
King or Queen Debate
When it comes to backyard parties, are they ruled by a King or a Queen?
Top Wood Fired Pizza Ovens
The range of wood-fired pizza ovens is quite varied and is ultimately an item which you can find yourself pouring loads of money into, but if you love pizza and you love hosting, it may be very well worth it to make the significant investment and enter a lifetime (or summer-times) filled with supremely divine pizza pies!
Have you ever...
Have you ever eaten a wood-fired pizza?

Wood-Fired Pizza Concepts for those with Budgets
Unfortunately, we aren't all made of money and even though nothing quite beats an authentic wood-fired pizza, these wallet-friendly options provide a few similar qualities of a traditional wood-fired pizza for a fraction of the cost!
We consistently use pizza stones for all of our pizza baking and experimenting at home and have yet to be disappointed in the results.
Pizza Recipes from our Kitchen
Since we have a desire to master pizza-making as well as eventual wood-fired oven pizza making, we've embarked on numerous pizza experiments.
While we've yet to have the luxury of throwing one of these pies into a wood-fired pizza ovens, using our pizza stone and imagination we've come up with some exciting flavor combinations such as the French-Philly pictured above which combines the joys of a French Dip and a Philly Cheese-steak and is even dipped in au jus!
Other successful pizza pies out of our kitchen have been the fall-inspired Roasted Squash and Caramelized Onion Pizza as well as classic Supreme Pizza with home-made pizza sauce that truly brought the whole pie to a whole new level!
Sometimes our pies are just inspired by what's in the fridge such as this Tomato and Onion Preserve Pizza or this Bacon, Mushroom and Green Onion Pizza.
Other times, we let our cravings or our creativity lead the way and end up with Spinach Artichoke Dip and Chicken Pizza or the slightly spicy Kimchi-Bacon Pizza.
However you top it, it's sure to be delicious!

What Has Changed Recently With Laws?
How To Hire the Best Personal Injury Lawyer
After an accident, the victims of personal injury are left very much bewildered. The injury occasions both mental and physical pain.Again, the victim may not be aware of the next course of action.The burden can only be alleviated by a good personal injury lawyer. Some pain will be eased as the confusion is cleared.It is true that all personal injury lawyers are not the same or equal.It is hard to pick a good solicitor but here are some guidelines.
You will need to first establish the legal accreditations of the prospective firm. Establish the Lexcel standard.This is a useful step since the standard is only awarded to companies that meet highest standards. To maintain the standards, there are independent bodies that yearly check the companies with the award.Another accreditation worth looking for is the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) accreditation. APIL is also another independent body.
Worth your scrutiny also is the company's track record.Avoid companies that force you to make an upfront payment. The first meeting should not be used to coarse you to get into any monetary commitment. Let no one push you to pursue the matter if you don't want to.
After you meet face to face with a solicitor, you can be helped to establish if there is any good harmony between you.This is a very essential part. This is because the working together may take some considerable time. A face to face meeting is required so that you establish if they can argue your case well and successfully.
You may find it very fruitful to seek independent testimonials. Only trust testimonials from friends, workmates of neighbors who have interacted professionally with the lawyer in the past. The Google's rating of the lawyer will speak much.
You can't fail to have heard the term no win no fee.Injury claims are founded on this principle.The meaning of this is that you are not obligated to solicitor fees. This is irrespective of your claim being successful or unsuccessful. Only get into agreement with a solicitor who will agree on the no win no fee terms.
The last thing that you will need is to ensure that you search the internet for testimonials emanating from clients. Ensure that the reviews display positivity and that they are detailed enough.Many sites owned by solicitors are full of reviews that are brief and empty. They also do not want in superficial praise. Full names and dates characterize credible reviews.
Benefit from the information you have just read by using it.Information that is not used becomes meaningless. Don't hire the wrong lawyer.

Groups and Frames
Groups and Frames allow you to combine layers together so that they can be treated like a single layer.
By default, groups take on the combined dimensions of their children.
- To make a group, select some layers and choose "Group" (⌘ + G).
- The first time you click on a layer in this group, the entire group will be selected.
- To select a single layer within this group, double-click the item, or choose it from the layers panel.
- As the layers within a group are moved around, the bounds of the group will adjust to fit the layers within.
- You can move things into and out of this group by dragging layers within the layers panel.
- You are allowed to nest groups inside other groups.
- To un-group, select the group and choose "Ungroup" (⇧ + ⌘ + G).
Sometimes, it is useful to have a layer whose size is explicitly set by you. These are called Frames.
- To make a frame, choose the Frame Tool (F) and drag out an area of the screen.
- To add layers to this group, just drag them in.
- To remove layers from this group, just drag them out.
- Selecting and moving items within a Frame works exactly the same way as groups.
- To un-group, select the group and choose "Ungroup" (⇧ + ⌘ + G)
Frames are drawn directly on the canvas and we draw them in a special way to make them easier to see and work with.

This past February, Taiwan-based Red Candle Games pulled their then newly released horror title, Devotion, from the Steam store. This came after it was discovered that the game had shipped with an Easter egg that references how China's president, Xi Jinping, looks like Winnie the Pooh. What followed was a wave of review bombing on Steam from upset Chinese citizens that continued to toe the line that the government has repeatedly pushed upon them.

Respawn to Force Apex Legends Cheaters to Play Each OtherThat's one way of dealing with cheaters.
Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind Apex Legends, says that they will soon begin to implement a new method of anti-cheat in their still fairly popular battle royale title. Unlike many other methods of anti-cheat, this one aims to issue softbans against known cheaters.
In short, this means that people who are detected to be cheating will be matched up only against others who have been found to be cheating. These people will not be matched up against those who are legitimate players. That is, of course,...
Gears 5 Does Away with SmokingSmoking is bad, but violence...?
Gears 5 will not include any depictions of smoking. The upcoming third-person shooter, slated for release on September 10 on PC and Xbox One, does away with all tobacco use after a push from the Truth Initiative. The anti-smoking organization, Truth Initiative, approached Turner, the company that owns the rights to broadcast Gears 5 ELeague esports matches. Turner, after speaking with Truth Initiative, spoke to The Coalition about the removal of the use of tobacco from the game.

Ion Maiden Renamed to Ion Fury for Probably Obvious ReasonsClassic 90s FPS has a new name.

On that date, the game will toss round after round on the PC, with console releases on the Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One coming later.
The game is being developed by Voidpoint and published by 3D Realms and 1C Entertainment. Only, there's just one problem. It won't be called Ion Maiden. As you...

Project Intern Daniel Mitchell briefly tells us of the future plans for the project in Whitley.
This is just a very brief update of the work that is taking place in Whitley.
We have now finished collecting data on the project with over 500 questionnaires, various interviews with stakeholders in Whitley and Reading and several focus groups.The results of the questionnaires are currently being analysed as well as the interviews and focus groups being analysed in further detail with themes being drawn out from them.
Currently, our plan is for the report to be ready for January with several launch events taking place later in the year. We will also be working with the Community to discuss the plans for how to effectively spend the £1million as well as talking to key people in the area to see how we can expand partnerships and continue to build relationships.


text: I am gender fluid and losing weight. How will I feel about my body after? #Identity#bodies#body image#gender#genderqueer Posted Jul 6 2018 Catherine Clark bijouxandbits Cinnamon Rolls Not Gender Roles Enamel Pin from Zealo Apparel I've just recently come to the realization that I am genderfluid. Ever since I was a toddler, I've been this mix of feminine and masculine, insisting on wearing fluffy dresses while playing Power Rangers. With my biologically female body, I've tried to put myself more into that mold, with dresses and heels that never get worn outside of weddings. But I've always felt too masculine to be a girl and too feminine to be a boy. Realizing and accepting that I'm genderfluid has been hard, specifically because I'm not only the CEO of a company (small but still a company), but also working to drop a lot of weight for my health. I'm at this odd crossroads where I feel more confident about who and what am I now, but things will keep changing. After the weight comes off and I look into skin removal surgery, will I want the augmentation in my breasts most women get to replace the lost volume? How will I feel about my body when I can see more definition? How do I find that happy medium where every day I love myself in the mirror? TL;DR: how do others in the trans and genderqueer community handle physical body changes like weight loss? Does anyone else worry their perception of their own gender, or lack thereof, could change at the end of that particular journey? – Gaia Related Post My gender identity is confused and I'm okay with it I should probably start by identifying my gender, but that is... complicated. I am a female, physically. What I identify as is where it gets... Read more As someone who has lost a lot of weight myself, the mental changes are dramatic. It's confusing, you won't recognize yourself sometimes, and you'll struggle to accept yourself as you are, still with flaws we all have. It's not a magic bullet. And you're dealing with seeing your body as something else on top of that — something that doesn't easily fit within society's current definitions. It's a challenge, but I have a feeling you're going to deal with it better and better each day. As with any transition — body size/shape, embracing the gender terminology or feeling with which you actually relate — all of it is a progression into feeling more and more like yourself, whatever that ends up meaning. Losing weight doesn't change your personality much (though people will believe it does and will relate to you differently), but that layered with gender fluidity is a lot to deal with and you may find that your head changes more than you think it will. I found this article that explores the layers of body image issues in the genderfluid and trans communities. This example seemed interesting… Chris, a trans man, feels very dysphoric about his body, which he describes as an "hourglass figure." This, however, has improved by starting testosterone. "I have definitely felt a massive reduction in dysphoria between the changes brought about by testosterone and the admittedly fairly minor changes brought about by exercise," he tells me. Additionally, this story (although on People, so be warned about comments and gendered language there), touched on both issues of weight loss and transitioning as well. The part about being able to wear clothing that fit better was particularly poignant as plus-sized clothing is often really limiting no matter where you're buying it. I'd suggest joining some online communities about both dealing with weight loss and with accepting your gender identity. I don't know if there are ones that deal with both, but I bet you could bring it up in either. Additionally, definitely start working with a therapist if you aren't already. Help from online communities can be spotty at best and keeping your mental health in check along with your physical health is important (for anyone!). You need someone there to help as you go through so many mental and physical changes. But let's see if anyone in our community can help with either issue or hopefully both! Readers: help a fellow Homie out! Have you ever dealt with learning and accepting your body in either of these situations? What's your advice?

I have not however gone through any major weight loss though, just small plus or minus 10 pounds fluctuations. On a strict physical level, the boob issue will certainly be very obvious. Having less boobs really opens up the possibility of presenting more masculine. If you are ceo of a company, you might like to experiment with including men's shirts, ties and vests into your professional wardrobe. But that just might be me projecting the instant sense of power and confidence I get when I wear ties to work. Plus the looser fit of men's shirts is very forgiving. Definately get support, and try stuff! Sounds like you are redefining yourself at the moment, it might be the right time to try different looks! And maybe they'll work out, maybe they won't. Or maybe what feels right on monday is totally not you on wednesday. Definately think long and hard before surgery. For me it's not so much "am I happy with a vag" as "would I be happier with a penis". I guess in regards to top surgery you will need to wonder "will bigger boobs feel right". Maybe something on the smaller side of average would be more versatile, giving the option of using push-up bras or sports bras depending on wether you want to emphasize them or not? In regards to coworkers and clients judgement, I have found most people don't really comment directly on your clothing choice. Many will assume I'm lesbian and I don't correct them if they are just professional connections. Congratulations on this whole journey to discover your true self! And don't pressure yourself for your outside to always reflect your gender identity. Some days just won't work out. Be compassionate with yourself and explore all the new possibilities! Reply I'm so happy for you that you're finding your identity! That being said, I think you might need to face the fact that losing weight and keeping it off is nearly impossible. And dieting can often lead to disordered eating, so please be careful and kind to yourself. I don't mean to be discouraging, but losing weight is pretty unrealistic and might just lead to more self esteem issues. There have been studies showing that people who don't diet and stay the same weight or even gain weight are happier than those who diet and lose weight. Good luck with whatever you decide to do, and I hope you find happiness! Reply Since the breast surgery is optional, and you have misgivings about it, why do it? When you feel more masculine they won't get in the way, and when you feel more feminine, there's plenty of ways to celebrate that side of yourself which don't require big breasts. Talk with your body. Listen to it. Take care of it. Chances are your gender fluidity is right there anyway, in your DNA or hormone balances or whatever. I can understand your body saying, "Please lose weight–I'm suffocating!" or "Don't lose weight–I need that extra fat right now." But I find it harder to imagine a body saying, "I want silicone implants" except to say, "Your low self-esteem is messing with my immune-system–get the breasts!" So, would having the sort of deflated breasts that major weight loss leaves behind stress you out? Or would it be a relief to be able to tuck them out of sight whenever you want? Never mind how others perceive you–what would make you healthy? Reply Join the conversation Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published.

The Battery Effect
tonight it has been red
then yellow, then luminous white
I think coral, copper, cotton, rattle
at one point it was below the water
before that it had never left
now it's here, and I know instantly
that I know something, just not what
maybe I feel the moon's knowing, or I
heard something, the stars
discussing the moon's politics on the Earth
children in their adult poses
they do mounted police, they do plumbing
they do mother and father, who else
they do bullhead, suspended woman
they don't play the root, as you have
or me, the stone with a root in it
we are transfixed to the hood of the Earth
the sun does a firm bounce off the moon
it goes down a corridor before
coming back, unlocking the next
entrance, and the next, perhaps everything
a baby gate opens, the milky way opens
we are ferried back to our rooms in secret
usually by birds, to be checked in on
by tricksters, kings and queens, who
in their wisdom can see themselves coming
as I have seen myself coming, and you
our mouths open to the same phase
your blood a belt of red, the candles yellow
my reach a luminous white
How to Release Dead Animals
it is hot and windy. your face
is probably covered in hair
your body out
I am reminded of the animals
I've kept, some of which
have died in my care – snails,
toads, spiders – clearly dead
(some had been melted
in tupperwares in which
I had also caught a star)
now back into the wild
unable to throw them away
unsure of their use now, as they
no longer moved in my room
unsure of where it was
I had found them
running away, around
this whole time, open
mouth against clear
sloped walls
even the rocks I've kept, like
tears hidden up my nose
or in my ears
I've wanted to keep forever
my ultimate stubbornness
to be an everything-sized cage
to be your whole world
suddenly my mouth is full
I set the dead on the knape
of the Earth, an armadillo
rooting its vast, known circle
flinching, closing
the dead to skitter off one day
the Earth to have rings
the dead to die again and
again, having lived
again I am unsure about
the size of the world
where the color goes
on captive animals
why they feel different
how they could have died
if I can love something
without having to have it
If you lay in snow
and I lay in snow
even with the same moon
as headboard, the electricity
wouldn't travel, the water
too densely packed
I feel that way today
Both in our underwear, separately
in the city. You walking
from Planned Parenthood to yoga
Me having worn
the wrong clothes to work
now bathing in the spillway
We have no gas for water
We named a cat Fuel
Each man presents
his best self, the
6-month awoken blood stem
You unlock something in me, he says
It was not there before
You make me want to be
a better man
A star falls on
the roof of the Whole Foods
Limp herdling, fallen star, by
definition not that great
of a star, but hot enough
Men burn their tongues
try to recall
what they were doing before
just to have you say it
have you pull it out
The long steel draw
approachable temperature
a star just being friendly
holding it
lighting their eyes
But stars are forever away
maybe they have already died
Hollow pots in headphones
reading, crying
fillable with dust
White hot rage. That is why
boys chase girls
We just can't take it anymore
I run more when I'm single. I dig holes in my skin
as if something might pupate & emerge
I would like to be more inwardly motivated
so my heart won't come out black in a rocky
bed. I'm consumed by how much
it doesn't hurt. Does that mean it hurts?
After Seeing My Ex // on Tinder
swiping left in child's pose
as if i didn't do it
as if to say
no, let me help you
a phone covered in milk
i jumped in a new life
and forgot it
i couldn't find happiness
when it was in my hand
i couldn't leave the house
i think of you alone there
with my choices
repeating themselves
like children
white cells
the haunt of bodies
moving you from room
to room, where once
we passed through
inside each other
walked through hallways
of pictures of organs
murmurs following
us with eyes, and we felt
alive, if for a moment
the moment
had always been there
Rule 34
how much
of the internet
have I've seen?
how many thoughts
& friends now side
with my ex?
how many places
will I bed, like
a predator?
we are affiliated, &
would not be
elsewhere, we say
we repeat ourselves, tracked
by those who remind us what
a person is mainly
the few lines
we know
spaced out
repair based on items
cried most often
a little spine, a little
eaten by wolves, not
simply followed, the bones
made powder by morning
hounds asking, even
when satisfied
what else is there?
here I thought
that was all
an apple a day
if i survive it
like a grapefruit
two things
neither of which
i can remember
neither is grape
neither is me
it's not
as simple as
putting two plants
together, even
in the right conditions
just don't
make anything

Objective Journalism, Does it Exist?
I used to be a real newshound, addicted to listening to the news, reading whatever newspapers I could find, watching news shows. Yes, the whole works. And I loved the dynamics of politics ever since I was a teen. Now, as you may have noticed from the blog posts here, I'm disgusted and horrified.
There is nothing that even vaguely resembles objective news reporting. Not only do they all have their agendas, but there's no such thing as fact checking. It's beyond ignorance. There's an innocence in ignorance, but nowadays a don't see that at all. There are vicious attacks, like a modern version of the auto-da-fé.
An auto-da-fé or auto-de-fé (from Portuguese auto da fé [ˈaw.tu dɐ ˈfɛ], meaning "act of faith") was the ritual of public penance of condemned heretics and apostates that took place when the Spanish Inquisition, Portuguese Inquisition or the Mexican Inquisition had decided their punishment, followed by the execution by the civil authorities of the sentences imposed.
The most extreme punishment imposed on those convicted was execution by burning. In popular usage, the term auto-da-fé, the act of public penance, came to mean the burning at the stake. Wikipedia
Media interviews are more like either vicious interrogations or the fawning style seen in simplistic fan magazines of old.
At first I was very excited to discover that we could watch BBC News on our television, since I had happily listened to the radio version for decades. Then I had considered it, except for news on Israel*, pretty objective. But as the last American Presidential Campaign began to heat up, their support for Hillary and the Democrats so distorted their reports I could no longer trust their objectivity about anything. And not only hasn't it gotten better, it has gotten much worse. We don't have cable, just a simple "dish," and recently we don't even get the Israeli stations. CNN was never known for its objectivity.
Then I discovered the English French TV News Channel, and I had great hopes for it, since it's not that interested in American news. I began watching it, but then they began a feature about the Israel-Arab "conflict." It begins with:
"In 1967 Israel invaded..."
Grrr... That's what people all over the world think, and what is taught in universities even in the USA. And I have this nasty, frightening feeling that even some Israelis are oblivious to the facts, the Arab aggression that led up to the 1967 Six Days War. In order to survive, Israel had no choice other than shoot first.
About thirty 30 years ago, in the days when we hosted many journalists of an amazing selection of international media, I had a talk with a top editor of an American newspaper. I asked him what training, education he looked for when hiring someone starting in the profession. He said that he does not like to hire those with degrees in journalism, since they don't know anything other than how to write. He looks for those who majored in History, Economics, Science etc.
"Any knowledgeable university graduate can be taught how to write a good article, but I can't teach a Journalism graduate facts."
Things have changed drastically in the international media. I no longer have objective sources to learn current events and get an accurate idea of what's really happening in politics. I just know what's happening on the ground here in Israel, but not from the media. Today fake news is all over, and when trying to check accuracy, you really need to be an expert. This is both dangerous and sad. People are making decisions based on lies, fantasies, fake news and worse.
I can't see how it will get better. I am pessimistic for the future.
Here's a picture of a program from the French news channel.
*During the Intifada Part 1, I was horrified to hear an excited BBC radio reporter telling that he was with Arabs throwing rocks on Jews and how they tried to protect their eyes from the teargas the Israeli soldiers aimed at them to stop them. And in those days BBC even came to our house to film us and ask us questions.

Jergens was the first brand of skin care to develop a line of self-tanning products that didn't turn my skin orange. Now, still 10 steps ahead of the game, they've launched a new foaming self-tanning lotion. I've come to accept the fact that self-tanners usually stink, but to my surprise and delight, not only did the new Jergens foam dry faster, but it's the least smelly self-tanning lotion that I've ever tried! This weekend, I applied it to my arms and legs and then a few hours later asked a friend to smell me and see if she could tell me what I was wearing (a little creepy I know)– but she had NO idea I'd put on self-tanner. Looks like life keeps getting better for us sun-phobes.

Hands down, best deal of the week. Spend 50 dollars at sephora.com (must purchase at least one Benefit product) and receive this sweet 5 piece gift with purchase. If you'd rather shop in-store, I noticed that Macy's has been doing a similar promotion. If you're unfamiliar with Benefit's line of products, I highly recommend Dr. Feelgood, a complexion balm that smooths skin and works really well for T-zone oil control.

A couple of years ago, a hair colorist gave me her #1 secret for healthy, shiny hair: use sulfate-free shampoo. Why? Besides Sodium Laureth Sulfate (the stuff that makes your shampoo foamy) is a harsh detergent that can strip hair of essential moisture and irritate the scalp. So why do any of us use these harsh chemicals in the first place? As I found out, finding a good, natural product can be a lot more challenging than you might think. One of the first sulfate-free shampoos that I tried was made by Burt's Bees. I love their lip balm, but their shampoo and conditioner? Not so much. There was no lather, my hair felt flat and greasy after I used it– I couldn't find a natural shampoo that smelled as delicious as my Bumble & Bumble, so I gave up and went back to my normal hair products.
Fast forward to now: several cosmetics companies have launched sulfate-free hair care products, which means they're way easier to find and much more "consumer friendly" than they were just a few years back. Recently, I bought a bottle of Samy's e•sen•cia shampoo. It's organic and free of Sulfates, Parabens, and Phthalate, but it feels like normal shampoo! It foams and suds and lathers and leaves my scalp feeling squeaky clean, but has the benefits of being a natural, harsh-chemical-free product. And then there's L'Oreal's new line called EverPure, which smells rediculously good. Infused with rosemary and mint, it reminds me of the conditioner that my hair stylist uses when I get my hair done at the salon.
Of course, I'm also pretty stoked that products from both Samy and L'Oreal are about $7 a bottle. Since both product lines are relatively new, keep an eye out for special promotions and discounts. My e•sen•cía shampoo was free after mail-in rebate, and Rite Aid is currently advertising two bottles of L'Oreal EverPure for $8.

Invest 22 dollars in this Sephora Brand Color Play Palette and you'll never have to buy another eye shadow again. With 36 eyeshadows, 12 lip glosses, 3 blushes and a bronzer, you end up paying less than 50 cents a color. I'm not totally sold on the royal blue shadow, but it might come in handy when you're getting all dolled up for an 80s dance party?

Two things I hate: panty hose and cellulite. One thing I love: Hanes Solutions Anti-Cellulite nylons. Who knows if they really beat the bumpy stuff, but at less than 10 dollars a pair (from mass retailers like Target, Walmart, etc.) its cheaper than splurging on expensive cellulite creams, and as a bonus they add a little bit of color to my haven't-seen-the-sun-in-months legs.

Usually I hate giving stores my email address, but for Sephora I'll make an exception. Sephora has a rewards program called Beauty Insider. Perks include free deluxe sized samples for every 100 dollars you spend in store or online, a free body wash during your birthday month, and lots of insider-only promotions. I've been a beauty insider for a few years now, but just recently it seems like the deals have been getting hotter and hotter. For example, my last purchase was a Bare Minerals foundation and Stila eyeliner, and just because I'm a beauty insider I got 15 dollars off my purchase and a generous sample of super luxe Diorshow mascara. Since it doesn't cost anything to join the club, it's a great deal for me because there are certain make up and skin care products I am always going to splurge on (mineral foundation is one of them), and it never hurts to get a discount.
Now until December 24, Beauty Insiders get a free Sephora brand product (up to a 15 dollar value) with any 50 dollar in store purchase. If it was up to me, I'd buy beauty goodies for all my girlfriends and then keep the bonus gift for me! And if you miss this promo, no worries, I'm sure they'll have another one right after Christmas.
