The problem with the fires in California is the war in Iraq?:
California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer complained on Capitol Hill Tuesday that the ability of the state's National Guard to respond to disasters like the fires has been compromised because too much of its equipment and personnel are committed in Iraq.
Soldier's Mom on Milblogs:
So, 20,000 NG members in CA…5,000 deployed…and the Governator as activated…
1,500… of 15,000 available…
Are there personnel and equipment in Iraq that might have otherwise helped in this situation? Of course. Has it made a big difference? Doesn't seem terribly likely.
But Boxer won't let that stop her.
UPDATE: I'm sure we'll be hearing all about this from Senator Boxer: Seasonal firefighters laid off just before fires
A good chuck of the firefighting capability in California is provided by seasonal workers. Sometimes the fires don't cooperate with budgets or schedules:
It's not the first time that a huge fire has happened after the firefighters are sent home. The Paradise Fire, which killed two people and destroyed 221 homes, was in October 2003. The Cedar Fire, which killed 14 people and destroyed more than 250 houses and commercial buildings, started the same month and burned into November.
Want the seasonal firefighters in late October and in November? Either shift their schedules (running the risk of leaving early season fires uncovered) or expand their schedules (paying more to do so).
Or, I guess, you could just blame the war in Iraq even though only 10% of available National Guard personnel have been called.
UPDATE 2: Apparently the California NG is undermanned by 5,000 or 6,000. This means that there are only around 10,000 personnel available, not the 15,000 that I noted earlier.
Still, only a small number of troops have been called up so far. Nothing approaching the level where deployed troops would be missed terribly.

Oh holiest of holies.. Ohh eternal monument to mans creative powers… "Holy Macaroni!"
Fiddling around with a Dell Latitude X1. Smaller than the X300, something I would not have thought possible. Trade-off's come with smaller size however. Although the screen is now a pleasing 12.1″ widescreen and the resolution is far higher than in the X300, the keyboard requires the speedy fingers of a Barbie doll on halucinogens in order to type in any functional way. Forget about using the trackpad too, I gave up after about 30 seconds and plugged in the included USB mouse.
It's nice to see a compact flash slot in the side, handy for downloading all those thousands of pictures from your DSLR when on the road before finding the nearest wireless hotspot to upload them to the web. Either that or burn them onto CD or DVD with the included DVD-R drive. Nice to see a gig of ram and a 60gb hard drive in a laptop this small too.
Had I the bones of €1500 hanging out of my back pocket and not a tap to do with it I'd consider making an impulse buy. Reminds me alot of the uber small Sony VAIO with a Dell dashboard. It's nice… a little too nice! I wonder how far I'd get with it stuffed down the front of my pants before being rumbled…

Just FYI, feedback from most owners is that the settings for the trackpad as shipped make it practically unusable. Fiddling for about 2 minutes in the control panel fix this though, now it's as good as any I've used.

SDSU Basketball: SDSU vs. CSUSM (Game Preview)
The San Diego State Aztecs will meet the Cal State San Marcos Cougars Friday night before a sold out crowd at Viejas Arena on the Campus of San Diego State University. The night before the Aztecs and Cougars take the court we still do not know the starting five for this deep San Diego State squad. We will however know after the upcoming preseason game vs. Cal State San Marcos if anyone will be red-shirted their freshman season or not.
The San Diego State Aztecs met the Cal State San Marcos Cougars (CSUSM) last year for the second time in history. The CSUSM Cougars basketball has only been around for three seasons. This team finished last year with a 23-7 record and ranked No. 12 in this year's NAIA preseason poll. That is not bad at all for a team in its third year of collegiate basketball.
The Cougars played SDSU extremelly hard last season, though the Aztecs won the basketball game. The Cougars have some height on the roster in San Diegan and senior Quincy Lawson (6'6), junior Khalil Murphy (6'7), and senior Adam Eakles (6'8) The shortest player on the CSUSM team is freshman Markus Thompson at 5 foot 9. The height will be good practice for SDSU as they struggled against Florida Gulf Coast in the NCAA tournament. We do know that Cal State San Marcos is going to help San Diego State prepare for games this season by running the zone against SDSU for the first half of the game.

Salam! Iran is experiencing a boom in travel these days. Although there are so many false prejudices, the country surprises visitors with a huge variety of stunning nature, culture and architecture. After two trips to various regions of the country, from the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf, I've now compiled this handy guide to Backpacking Iran.
You can enter the country overland via Turkey, either on the old Orient Express route by train or even by motorcycle or bicycle. But from Europe, the easiest way to get to Iran is still by plane, for example with Turkish Airlines (via IST), Austrian Airlines (via VIE), Emirates (vie DXB), Alitalia (via FCO), Pegasus Airlines, Iran Air or Germania. Most flights go to Tehran (IKA), but now there are also direct flights to other parts of the country.
Backpacking Iran: Most tourists arrive in Tehran at Imam Khomeini Airport.
Imam Khomeini International Airport:
The Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) is located 30 kilometres southwest of Tehran and is the largest airport in the capital. As a subway line to the city centre is planned but not built yet, it is advisable to take a taxi. The new fixed rate is IRR 500,000, which is about 17 euros, 12 GBP or 18 USD. Payment is possible only in Rial or US dollars.
Mehrabad International Airport:
The Mehrabad International Airport (THR) is closer to the city. Here, however, hardly any international flights are handled. A taxi costs about 8 euros depending on the destination.
The infrastructure in Iran is good. In addition to a good rail network, there are some excellent connections in partially comfortable buses and also cheap domestic flights.
Backpacking Iran: The old buses are still in use.
Backpacking Iran: By bus from Tehran to Kashan.
By bus: There are many domestic bus routes. Some of the buses are even better than those of most European bus operators. The so-called VIP buses have about as wide and comfortable seats, like in a good airlines business class. On long haul they are therefore a real alternative to the domestic airlines, which are not necessarily the safest ones (e.g. Iran Air, Mahan Air, Caspian Airlines).
By train: Between the larger cities such as Shiraz, Tehran or Isfahan there are also rail links that I have never tried. Nevertheless they are considered as a good alternative to the long-distance buses.
Backpacking Iran: Bus or donkey? I'm not sure.
By domestic flight: There is a well-developed flight route network in Iran. Flights are cheap (e.g. Shiraz to Tehran costs about 40 euros one way) and prices are regulated by the government, so there are no significant price fluctuations between airlines. The best part is that you get refunded the full fare up to 24 hours before flight departure, if you decide not to use the ticket. However, often only in the travel agency where you originally booked the flight.
By car: Please just forget the idea of driving a car in Iran. The traffic is fatal. If you are not en route to India with your own car and have to pass Iran anyway, just don't do it.
By metro: In Tehran, there are several lines of a quite modern subway, which is a great alternative to a taxi, especially in the endless rush hour. The metro has separate compartments for women.
For tours or backpacking Iran: the Iran visa is issued for a specific length of stay.
Getting a visa for Iran can take you two to three weeks. As rules change from time to time, please check with a consulate in your country (if it has one).
Who needs an Iranian visa?
There is visa on arrival for passport-holders from half-a-dozen countries. If you are not a resident of one of these, the best thing to do is to arrange a visa in advance or take the risk of applying for a 15-day visa on arrival at the airport in Iran.
Visa for US citizens:
It's possible for US Americans to get an Iran Visa. But you are not allowed to do backpacking in Iran. On the contrary, you need to pre-arrange a private guide or a tour operator, or be sponsored by a friend or relative in Iran who will take legal responsibility for you.
Visa for Israeli citizens:
Israeli passport holders as well as anyone with an Israeli stamp in their passport will not get a visa. Although I know one German traveler who got the Iran visa with an Israeli stamp in her passport.
Which Iranian visa type do I need? Iran has three visa types for travellers:
The tourist visa is the best option. It is issued for up to 30 days, but extendable (valid for 90 days.) You have to get this visa before traveling to Iran.
Tourist visa on arrival (VOA) is issued to people from 65 countries for a max. of 15 days on arrival at any Iranian international airport but only with an onward air ticket.
This still seems to be risky, although I haven't heard of someone lately who was denied entry. The VOA is available for example for most European, ASEAN, countries in the Persian Gulf Region, Central Asian countries, some South American countries, China, Australia, Japan, India, New Zealand or South Korea.
Transit visa is another option. If you are en route to another country, you can get an Iranian transit visa for a max. of 7 days. This option is only available for non-US passport holders.
After deciding for a visa type you can get the visa yourself or pay an agency.
In every major city you can find at least two hotels, which are well prepared for backpackers and independent travellers. Staying in these often traditional houses is mostly affordable. Reservations can be made either through the hotel's website or via phone.
Backpacking Iran: This is what a traditional guesthouse looks like.
Besides the fact that one can find lots of cheap fast food like pizza and burgers in bigger cities, the Iranian cuisine offers some real highlights. For example, Dizi, a traditional lamb based stew with beans, chickpeas, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, turmeric and dried limes.
No backpacking Iran without the national dish: Kabab with steamed rice.
When backpacking Iran you will enjoy delicious dates, figs and nuts on the bazaar in Tehran.
But the Iranian national dish is Tschelo Kabab – steamed rice with grilled lamb or beef on a skewer that is usually enjoyed with a Dugh, the Persian version of the Turkish drink Ayran. I also found Ash (or asch) very yummy, a thick soup of noodles, lentils, beans, vegetables, mint, onions and yogurt.
Tip: Good restaurants are often located on the 1st floor or in the basement. So it is always worth keeping your eyes open. The best restaurants are mostly small, inconspicuous, where the boys serve the guests while mom prepares the meal for decades.
A delicious experiences when backpacking Ian: Ash, a thick soup of noodles, lentils & beans.
Vegetarians in Iran: Don't worry, because many young Persians are vegetarians, too. There are usually a few dishes to choose from. If not, it is common to ask before ordering it, if they could just leave out the meat.
Drinks: Tap water is drinkable in many places, but often with very high mineral content. In summer there are free water dispensers. The best alternative everywhere in Iran, of course, is always a tea – coffee is rather unusual.
Alcohol in Iran: Alcohol is strictly forbidden and as a tourist, it is better to stay away from weird procurement methods. It is also forbidden to bring alcohol to Iran.
Solo travel vs. group travel
For Germans and some other passport holders, it's easy to travel individually and on your own in Iran. Travel in Iran for Americans is only allowed in the form of a well-organized group tour and not in the form of backpacking Iran. Individual tours are completely denied. Since February 2014 British and Canadian citizens must also be a part of a tour or travel with a privately hired guide.
Backpacking Iran feels like being the Prince of Persia.
Solo travel in Iran
As a man that's no problem. As a woman… Well, everyone needs to decide for herself. Indeed, also foreign women in Iran must adopt specific rules like wearing a headscarf the entire time and covering the body with loose clothing.
Maybe you will be able to meet other solo travellers in hotels with whom you could travel on together at some point. I personally believe that Iran, as compared to some countries of the Arab world for example, is relatively harmless in terms of sexual assault. Eventually every individual must decide for herself, how to behave in certain situations, whether it is necessary to walk into this dark street all alone, or whether it might be too late to take a walk around the block. Simply try to listen to your instinct.
Hotels & CouchSurfing in Iran
Although CouchSurfing in Iran is very popular, it is officially prohibited. If you might have a try anyway when backpacking Iran, it's an affordable alternative to hotels.
Group tours in Iran
If you don't need a proper tour guide and want more freedom of decision instead, traveling individually should be the better option. However, in my opinion both backpacking Iran and group tours have their raison d'être.
In Iran, no international credit cards, debit cards and travellers checks are accepted. Visa and MasterCard do not work because these are American companies that are subjected to the penalties. Bring money in cash – euros or US dollars – for any expenditure on round trips or while backpacking Iran. Then you can change cash to Rial on arrival at the airport, at exchange offices or in major hotels on the daily rate.
You will have millions of Rial when backpacking Iran.
And there is something else that you have get used to: the Rial itself. The currency in Iran has not only tens of zeros (300,000 Rials are about 10 euros/7 GBP/11 USD), so that you can quickly become a millionaire, there is also a fake currency that is called Tuman or Toman. You won't find it on any coin or bill, but in the people's language.
How it works: The Tuman is just a tenth of the Rial price. So don't be surprised if the lunch occurs cheaper than it might be. The trick is adding an imaginary zero to get the right amount in Rial.
Most prices are in Tuman, because that is the market price, both in stores and on the bazaar.
Here it should be mentioned that there no Persian has ever cheated me these zero, although he had the chance to do so. It would be so easy to rip off tourists with this. Many hotels also accept US dollars and euros. But you mostly get away cheaper with local currency.
All tourists must adhere to the Islamic dress code. To make it short: women may show no hair and legs, and generally do not wear form-fitting clothing. The feet must be hidden with opaque stockings.
No one has to completely disguise himself in Iran, also when backpacking Iran.
In fact, many young women in Iran know how to dress individually and stylish and always find a little escape from the rules, like a bright pink headscarf instead of the staid black or by wearing it kind of loose on the bun. Fashion is a statement. And for some, rebellion begins with a little step, especially in Iran.
When backpacking Iran one will see many well dressed ladies.
There is a "Morality Police" in bigger Iranian cities, but they concentrate more on young Iranians than tourists. The only thing that could happen to you is that someone gives you a subtle hint on the street. You can always play the tourist card.
Backpacking Iran: The Scheich Lotfollah Moschee in Isfahan.
In fact, men also have to adhere to the dress code when backpacking Iran: no shorts, tank tops or short T-shirts.
Almost everything we think we know about Iran is the work of overzealous Western journalists. In Iran, no woman has to wear a burka, Iranians are no terrorists, not everyone has nuclear weapons in the basement and the Islamic Republic does not mean Islamic State. Iranians do not hate America.
While backpacking Iran you will soon notice that the issue of security in the country is overstated from many sides. I felt safer in Iran than in so many dark corners of European cities. And I know more stories of travellers who were victim of theft in Italy or brutally robbed in Argentina. But not in Iran. On the contrary, according to an annually updated Risk Map, the Iran ranks higher in the internal security for tourists than some usual tourist destinations. However, you should try to avoid the unstable border regions to Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq.
Since the election of moderate President Hassan Rouhani in 2013 international connections are also better and national rules have even been improved a bit. However, it does not hurt to report your own arrival in advance at your embassy, if they offer that possibility. The German Embassy for example has a form on its site.
Photography and filming: This is also critical. In and round many public buildings photography is strictly prohibited and may result in having to delete the photo in front of a policeman. If you want to take photos of the locals, please be ask.
Iran is a medium-priced travel destination, depending of course on your own way to travel. In my opinion one can do backpacking Iran at 25 euros a day. The most expensive part is the hotels depending on your choice.
Double room in a traditional Guest House (mostly with breakfast) pp: 10-15 euros
Food in a traditional restaurant: 4-9 euros
Food in a Fast Food restaurant: 2-5 euros
Bus Tehran-Isfahan (about 350 km): 8 euros one way
Flight Shiraz–Tehran: 40 euros one way
Entrance fees: € 2-3. UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Arc-e Bam, Persepolis or the Golestan Palace in Tehran cost btw. 6 and 10 euros.
Despite all the media reports, travellers to Old Persia will recognize one thing very fast: the open, courteous and hospitable people of Iran. I have never met so many nice people in any other country. I was never more often invited to tea or a meal, was taken to a private city tour or a tour of the bazaar so many times.
Backpacking Iran: You will make best friends on the road.
The Iranians know about the bad reputation of their country and do everything they can to oppose their kindness. The phrase "Welcome to Iran" still echoes in my ears whenever someone said it to me on the road with an incredibly honest euphoria. This kindness is anything else but fake. Persians are also very polite and respectful to each other.
As a good Persian friend once said: Iran is a country of four seasons. In fact, in January I first survived a snowball fight at the Caspian Sea and two days later stood in the Dasht-e Kavir desert at 30 degrees feeding some camels. True story!
Backpacking Iran: Only 2 days between desert and snow.
The best time to visit Iran depends on what you want to do. Skiing in the Elburz Mountains is only possible in winter, while in the central Iranian deserts it can get incredibly hot with over 70 degrees in summer. If there is something like a best time to travel to Iran, then that would be from March to May and September to November.
Yes, there is Internet in Iran and almost every hotel has Wi-Fi, although often very slow. Some sites like Facebook and Twitter are completely blocked (Instagram & WhatsApp are not.) The same is true for the apps that just show an error message in Iran.
Backpacking information Iran: For websites like Facebook & Twitter you need VPN or the Open Door App.
For everyone who does not want to give up certain news portals and social media sites, I can recommend the browser Open Door for smartphones & tablet. It allows access to all Internet sites. For laptops using a VPN server is recommended, but I honestly had no good experiences.
Also as a European, you don't need an adapter, as the European plug (Euro plug) fits into the sockets. For others you will, of course, need an adapter.
Iranians are generally well educated. So many young Persians also speak relatively good English and the really love to talk to tourists.
If languages are not your forté all you need to start in Farsi is this: Salam (Hi), Baleh (Yes), Kheyr (No) Lotfan (Please) and Beh salomaty (Cheers). These couple of words are a pretty good start. The Persians will be so happy for every single word in Farsi that you try to use.
It is also useful to remember the spelling of the numbers from 0-10, so you can read the price on your receipt or ticket.
Backpacking Iran: lost in translation in in Isfahan.
source: Anekdotique Journeytelling stories
The word Persia gives the image of a magical and mysterious land of far away and long ago, of ancient monuments and beautiful works of art – carpets, tiles, fine ceramics and miniatures. It also reminds us of legendary and tragic love stories and epic poems about great wars. And Persia is indeed a world ancient and contemporary, a bridge between heaven and earth.
We want to show you around. Discover things to do on your next trip to Iran and plan a trip of your lifetime. Yes, it is that easy! This website gives you the tools to plan your trip to Iran: detailed information on destinations; inspiring ideas on what to see and do in each city; where to stay; where to eat; travel guides and let's say everything you need so you can dream up a trip to Iran.
This workshop is designed according to the UNESCO World Heritage Education Programme in order to give young people a chance to voice their concerns and to become involved in the protection of our common cultural and natural heritage. It seeks to encourage and enable tomorrow's decision-makers to participate in heritage conservation and to respond to the continuing threats facing our World Heritage. The idea of involving young people in World Heritage preservation and promotion came as a response to Article 27 of the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (World Heritage Convention).
Furthermore, Patrimonito means 'small heritage' in Spanish and the character represents a young heritage guardian. Patrimonito has been widely adopted as the international mascot of the World Heritage Education Programme.
Date: 29th December
Number of trainees: 7
Duration: 3 hours
The workshop of "Patrimonito" was held on 29th of December. Participants arrived around 10:30 and they were welcomed by hot chocolate and Persian cup cakes. After a little introduction by trainers and trainees, the process started by making two groups and letting them choose a name for their group, each group was accompanied by a mentor then each group was given some images of world heritage sites in Iran and some descriptions, each group was asked to match images and descriptions, the mentor was guiding them throughout the activity. All trainees were participating actively and trying to remember their experiences about their travels to these places. When they were done with the activity, the mentors started giving the answers and a brief explanation about each site; mentors were using trainees' ideas and experiences to complete their tasks.
Shortly after that, the second part started which was a presentation done by two of mentors. The aim of this presentation was to define the value of these world heritage sites and duties of each person as a "Patrimonito", and what happens if there is no "Patrimonito" and nobody cares about our tangible or intangible heritage. In this part trainees started questioning and understanding the whole concept of being a "Patrimonito", they also added their own suggestions on how to protect our heritage and by the end of this part, they were completely aware about their role as a "Patrimonito".
Now it was a best time to have a short break, during the break trainees were introduced to some of intangible heritages as they were served by traditional food and snacks and even they way of serving was according to traditions and everyone had this opportunity to discuss about intangible heritage while enjoying some traditional food and snacks.
When the break was done, everyone was asked to choose a heritage either tangible or intangible and they had to introduce their chosen heritage to a tourist by making a postcard using what they have learnt. They were given all of necessary tools such as color papers, color pencils, glue, scissors, images of heritage and a mentor was with them in order to help them completing the task.
When they were done, they handed out their postcards and with the mentors they sat together and spent a few minutes asking and answering about what they have learnt. Then they were told to say their vows for protecting their heritage and caring about it, the mentor said the vow and the trainees repeated after her and they officially became a "Patrimonito".
The last but the best part was when they were given the certificates, and they were told that since they are aware of the value of the heritage and they know how to protect it, they are chosen as "Patrimonito" and they should continue their mission by introducing the value of heritage to others. They were granted certificates and labels and the workshop of "Patrimonito" was finished by taking some memorial photos.

Beloved educator for Galaxy Nail Products succumbs to breast cancer.
Whether she was giving product demonstrations for Galaxy Nail Products at a trade show or competing in sculptured nails. Barbara Van Brandenburg (shown here with Galaxy president Tim Lee) was a consummate professional who really enjoyed her work.
Barbara Van Brandenburg was a friend to many, mother of two, a wife, daughter, nail professional, salon owner, award-winning nail competitor, and nail product distributor. It makes you wonder how one person could do all of this efficiently and effortlessly, but Barbara did. She was passionate about everything in her life. Sadly, Barbara was taken from all of us who loved her on May 11, 1998, by breast cancer.
Barbara was born in Englewood, N. J., on February 11, 1956. She came from a very close family with four siblings. At the age of 16, Barbara became the receptionist in her mother's salon. It was her experience in the salon that made Barbara decide her career path.
Receiving her nail license by the age of 19, she was on her way. Twenty-three years later, Barbara's resume also included doing work for both print advertising and the motion picture industry. I think it's safe to say that Barbara was very talented and versatile.
I know from personal experience that it was always a great pleasure to work with Barbara and to have her as both a friend and part of the Galaxy family. Unfortunately, all of these experiences will now be enjoyed only as memories. I was fortunate to visit Barbara at home last March during the IBS-New York show. There were no words to be said and no jokes to be told to cover the inevitable. Toward the end of my visit, I had the chance to spend about 20 minutes alone with Barbara. Those were the hardest and shortest 20 minutes of my life. I was surprised to find that all of her concerns and worries were for the people she was close to, not for herself She will never be forgotten.

What: Balfour Cannabis 101 Sessions
When: 3 p.m. Aug. 8
Where: 1331 E. Hecla Drive, Louisville
More info: The meeting will be open to the public.
For many baby boomers — a generation exposed to the transitory zap of an annealing, collective spirit steeped in '60s psychedelia — the reintroduction of wide-scale marijuana use in the modern age has struck a relatively familiar chord.
So says Charlotte Peyton, vice president of business development at Pueblo-based Stratos, maker of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis products, who along with a pair of doctors will hold a presentation about the benefits of contemporary cannabis use at Louisville's Balfour Senior Living in August — the first in a string of talks addressing how marijuana can help those among Colorado's 65-plus crowd.
It comes as the plant's stigma, one bound to it for decades when counterculture sensibilities dissipated after the "Summer of Love" soured, has slowly lifted in the years since Colorado's legalization of recreational marijuana.
Along with the reversal in attitude has come a renewed urgency for cannabis' medical benefits, advocates say.
"Education is always key," Peyton said, "in particular about the different uses of cannabis. We want the public to realize that you don't have to necessarily smoke to provide the benefits of the plants."
The August presentations will address the drug's health and wellness applications commonly associated with senior ailments, according to a description of the presentation, as well as various consumption methods that vary well beyond the traditional inhaling.
New consumption methods for cannabis — such as edibles or tablets (small capsules held under the tongue and then swallowed) — have ushered in an entirely new group of people to the plant, according to Dr. Joe Cohen with Holos Health, a holistic health organization that specializes in medical marijuana evaluations.
The latter methods have proven most effective in piquing the interest of seniors in Colorado's post-legalization era.
Balfour's presentations come not a moment too soon, at least according to recent studies mapping cannabis use across nationwide demographics.
Cannabis use among seniors, particularly those over 65, has skyrocketed, according to a survey of 47,140 respondents published by the Society for the Study of Addiction. Findings show that cannabis use has increased roughly 58 percent for adults ages 50 to 64 and 250 percent among adults over age 65.
Marijuana's increasing acceptance among older Americans is echoed on a smaller scale in Colorado, officials say, where the last several years of legalization have done wonders for attitudes toward marijuana use.
According to a BDS Analytics' study titled "Public Attitudes and Actions Toward Legal Cannabis in CO," Coloradans aged 55 and up make up at least 20 percent of cannabis consumers in Colorado. The study identifies "consumers" as those who have used cannabis during the past six months and support cannabis.
"When you're retired or older you don't have to worry about the social stigma that still exists with cannabis," Peyton said. "A lot of baby boomers are familiar with (cannabis); it's kind of like going back home for them. They haven't drank the Kool Aid and been indoctrinated by the pharmaceutical industry.
"When you have a cabinet full of pharmaceuticals that aren't so good for you, you may opt for a single plant that is better for you."
Marijuana can offer therapeutic effects toward — and in some cases even slow the progression of — certain neurogenic diseases, according to studies that have echoed similar results in the past several years.
In certain cases, doctors have seen cannabis prescription work on a range of levels: sometimes preventing spasms, reducing pain and even inflammation, according to Cohen, who said Friday that cannabis use "works in a variety of ways," all "accomplished with just one non-toxic plant."
"In the body we have a system where we make our own cannabinoids," he said, "so we're wired for this plant; it's basically the same compound that we produce in our body. It actually provides balance in our body."
How cannabis can be consumed in and around senior living facilities such as Balfour is somewhat murky. There are designated smoking areas outside, though it's unclear if residents are actually allowed to inhale marijuana in those premises; Balfour officials suggest edibles or tablet consumption.
But representatives suggest there's growing interest among the Louisville facility's roughly 300 members.
"More and more patients that we see — people that wanted to shy away from (cannabis), are hearing from friends that it can actually work," Cohen said. "Even people who have never used cannabis and who are opposed to using cannabis have begun to approach it.
"The medical system has failed them and they become so desperate that they finally come in and make an appointment."

From Burgers to Content: Examining Net Neutrality
A couple of months ago, a Burger King ad, called Whopper Neutrality, went viral. The ad was attempting to explain Net neutrality by using Whoppers as a metaphor. It was definitely a clever ad, with over 4.3 million views on YouTube. If you haven't seen the ad, watch it below.
There is only one problem: The ad is misleading.
The Whopper Neutrality clip shows interaction between two parties, Burger King and the consumer. It shows Burger King implementing classic price discrimination, the action of selling the same product at different prices to different buyers to maximize profits. In this case, Burger King tries to maximize profits by varying their delivery times of Whoppers. Another form of price discrimination is to charge more for Whoppers during peak periods (i.e. lunch). Or in some cases, price discrimination comes in the form of a discount. For example, Burger King could run a promotion where it lowers prices on some of its items during off-peak hours (2-5 p.m.).
Net neutrality does not address (i.e. forbid or limit) normal economic price discrimination. Consider Netflix as an analogy. Netflix introduces two tiers for their streaming service. You can pay $10/month more to have high speed streaming, or pay the standard amount for standard/low speed streaming. Just like with the Whopper example, if you select the standard offering, Netflix deliberately slows down its streaming of shows. Thus, you are more likely to experience buffering problems, where your video stops intermittently. The incentive is for you to pay for the premium Netflix offering. The Burger King example is a simple price discrimination decision, which is not in the purview of Net neutrality.
So what would be a true burger analogy to describe Net neutrality? In this case, there are three parties -- the consumer, the access provider, and the content (burger) provider.
When you want a Whopper, you go to a Burger Store (access provider), where you can order any fast food hamburger -- not only Burger King's Whoppers, but McDonalds' Big Macs, or Wendy's Dave's Doubles. So you enter the Burger Store, go up to the counter, and order your Whopper. Behind the Burger Store are kitchens for Burger King, McDonald's and Wendy's (content/burger provider). Your order is received by Burger King, it makes your Whopper and lets the Burger Store know your order is ready. The Burger Store employee goes to the back of the store, picks up your Whopper, and then delivers it to you at the counter. The same happens for McDonald's and Wendy's orders.
At non-peak time (i.e. 3 p.m.), there is sufficient staff (bandwidth) at the Burger Store that all orders are fulfilled without any delays. However, at peak times (i.e. lunch), there are more orders than staff, and burgers are subject to delays. To avoid delays, McDonald's agrees to pay the Burger Store to prioritize deliveries of Big Macs. Thus, when employees go back to the store to pick up orders, they check McDonald's first and fulfill their orders before Burger King and Wendy's.
As you can imagine, the burger providers (including McDonald's) are naturally upset about this, as they can see the Burger Store adding another cost to providing burgers to the public. So they lobby the FBC (Federal Burger Commission) to disallow the Burger Store from treating burgers differently. In other words, Burger neutrality, where every burger is treated the same.
Another argument for Burger neutrality is the stifling of innovation. There is a new upstart, Greg's Burgers, who would like to challenge the big three burger providers. It offers the "Big Greg" which is bigger and beefier than the competing brand products. Without Burger neutrality, Greg would have to spend precious money paying the Burger Store instead of coming up with new and better innovations or spending that money on increasing brand awareness.
The Burger neutrality example shows why, as a general rule, the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) tend to oppose Net neutrality. Net neutrality limits their ability to charge content providers for faster service. Conversely, it also shows why content providers favor Net neutrality. They may be forced to pay the ISP to ensure their content is delivered (streamed) without interruption.
Fast food analogies aside, Net neutrality is a major and controversial issue. And while the Burger King Whopper Neutrality ad is funny and clever, it is misleading and tends to reinforce preconceived negative opinions about Net neutrality.

Alliance representative Stewart Dickson is celebrating after being elected on the sixth stage of the count for East Antrim.
Mr Dickson said that the Alliance party had increased its vote in the region by 25 per cent since last May.
"It's not only a personal endorsement, it's an endorsement of the incredible leadership of Naomi Long," he said.
Meanwhile, the UUP's Roy Beggs, who was also elected on the sixth stage of the East Antrim count, said his party's vote in the constituency was up by 2.5 per cent.
He said the two largest parties had "contributed to political instability" in Northern Ireland and that there was a "frustration" with them on the part of the electorate.

It has come to light that one of the hospitals who are part of the "Essex Success Regime" Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) responsible for reorganising hospital provision between Southend, Basildon and Chelmsford, had ignored warnings about patient safety.
On 11th October 2017 the reputable 'Health Service Journal' published leaked confidential papers showing that in April 2017, the previous Finance Director of Basildon and Thurrock Hospital Trust warned that the Hospital was signing up to savings targets that would jeopardise patient safety and experience.
The Trust, had been discussing accepting a financial target for 2017/18 which would require them to cut a further £5.5 million on top of savings they had already planned.
Rick Tazzini, the then finance director, warned the board of the Basildon and Thurrock Trust that they could not guarantee that patient safety would not be affected by the level of savings being proposed.
The Health Service Journal quotes a memo from Mr Tazzini which states:
"No costed plans have been prepared, yet, to demonstrate how the additional £5.5m savings could be delivered, or the costs to achieve it. The plan, if it exists, which it doesn't, is therefore highly speculative,"
and continues
"I do not believe that the board can guarantee that patient safety and experience will not be adversely affected by such deep and unplanned savings. I hope I am wrong."
However, the board ignored Mr Tazzini's advice and accepted the extreme savings package. Mr. Tazzini is no longer a finance director at Basildon.
Toxic Legacy for current STP plans
The head of the Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals Trust which took this reckless decision was none other than Claire Panniker, who has since been made Chief Executive in overall charge of no less than three Trusts covering South Essex and who is responsible for pushing through the Government's controversial 'Sustainability and Transformation Plan' for this area which also includes both Southend and Broomfield hospitals. The leaked minutes said Ms Panniker was 'keen to sign up' to the savings.
The Health Service Journal's revelations show that the underlying threat to NHS services are still very real and that senior NHS management are determined to push cuts through. It is understood that new plans for changes to hospital provision may be put out for 'public consultation' in November this year and there are already rumoured to be brutal acute service reconfigurations across all three hospitals.
Renewed campaign to resist flawed proposals
Current proposals appear, from briefings given both within hospitals and to the campaign by internal and credible sources, to involve re-distributing acute specialisms around the area. All emergency general surgery, for instance, is rumoured to be transferred to Broomfield and the Hyper Acute Stroke Unit at Basildon alongside all other general medical patients. Southend may be set to host cancer and frailty. It is proposed that patients would be transferred around to Basildon or Broomfield if they needed a particular form of treatment.
These plans not only represent a threat to the well-being of patients who face being transferred, but will undermine the provision of the rounded services we all expect from our local general hospital.
Myself, along with my fellow committee members from the Save Southend NHS Campaign, vow to maintain the campaign against cuts to local services which was so brilliantly supported by the community over the original threat to Southend A&E.

|Tips to keep menstrual discomfort at a minimum
|Although the symptoms of menstrual discomfort are often unavoidable, but there are tricks you can learn to keep discomfort at a minimum.
Crushing Those Cramps
Menstrual cramps actually serve a useful purpose. Your uterus is squeezing hard to remove its blood-filled lining in a hurry — those cramps are actually making your period go by faster! But that may be the last thing you want to hear when you're feeling the pain they can cause.
Many women run straight for the medicine cabinet when cramps come on. Over-the-counter painkilling drugs, like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can relax muscles and dull pain. Make sure you carefully follow all the directions that come with medication. Don't take more than the maximum dosage. It won't help cramps go away faster, and it could be dangerous.
If you don't want to take medicine, or you want some relief while waiting for medicine to kick in, try putting a heating pad or hot water bottle on your abdomen.
Beating the Bloat
Hormones released in your body during your period can cause you to retain water. This means that instead of releasing most of the water that you take in through urination like you usually do, your body decides to hold on to more water than normal. Your body will feel bigger than usual, especially around your breasts, abdomen, hips, and thighs.
You could feel bloated because of this water retention — your clothes might feel snugger, you could feel full a lot faster when you eat, and the scale might read a few pounds heavier.
Although it might seem strange, the best way to avoid bloating is to keep drinking lots of water. Your body will hold on to water harder if there aren't enough fluids coming in.
Mashing Mood Swings
It's not your imagination — everything really is driving you crazy during your period. Your emotions could feel like they're out of control. You might be smiling one minute and bawling your eyes out the next.
Relax, and take a deep breath. Just knowing that your period could be affecting your emotions might help you keep them in check.
Don't skip meals — keeping blood sugar levels constant can level out your emotions. Eating complex carbohydrates like spaghetti, potatoes, and bread can also brighten your mood. These foods have been shown to release natural antidepressants in the brain, an effect which could provide a boost if you're feeling down.
The Rest of the Month
Keeping your body in good shape throughout your entire menstrual cycle can help keep menstrual discomfort under control. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains throughout the month. Take a multivitamin supplement to make sure you're getting everything you need. And exercise regularly.
Ask your doctor for help if you experience extreme cramps, depression, very heavy blood flow, weakness, or any symptom that disrupts your daily life during your period.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus

The OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus comes from HP's business range and at almost US $400 is one of the most expensive inkjet MFD we've tested.
The HP includes a high-resolution inkjet print engine consisting of six separate ink tanks, so rather than replace an entire cartridge when just one colour runs out, you can replace just the cartridge that's empty. The printer is specified as having a top print resolution of 1,200 x 1,200 dpi and when we studied photo prints the HP produced, we were amazed with the results.
The printer is a speed demon too. Feeding it our 20-page monochrome and colour documents the HP finished the print jobs in 93- and 103-seconds, which works out to 12.3ppm and 11.6ppm. These are the fastest inkjet figures in this grouptest. What's even more impressive is the fact that the laser-based Samsung CLX-3185FW was just slightly faster in the monochrome test with its figure of 14ppm. Feeding the HP our six page text and graphics document the Officejet impressed once again, it managed a figure of 5.2ppm, meaning it was faster than its inkjet competitors as well as the Samsung CLX-3185FW.
The only issue we had with the HP has to do with its ridiculously long setup process. When we plugged it in and powered it on for the first time it took a monumental 15-minutes to complete its various tests before becoming usable.

Newer Apple smartphones and tablets are less reliable than their Android counterparts, according to a recent report by mobile diagnostics firm Blancco Technology Group. Blancco's Q3 'State of Mobile Device Performance Health Report' suggests that iPhone and iPad devices are twice as prone to crash, with a 62 per cent failure rate compared to Android devices at 47 per cent.
Blancco's report attributed the failure of iOS devices driven by the bugs that were introduced with the iOS 10 update. Apple iPhone 6 was the worst hit device with a 13 per cent failure rate, followed by the iPhone 5S and iPhone 6S at 9 per cent; and the iPad Air 2 at 2 per cent.
Pokemon GO was the app that crashed the most on iOS, and was also the reason for high drain in battery for Android phones. The AR game app was highly prone to crash on iOS devices, crashing on 5 per cent of the devices.
"Our data suggests that the problems resulting from playing Pokemon GO were not only limited to iOS users," said Richard Stiennon, Chief Strategy Officer of Blancco Technology Group. "Battery charging ranked in the list of the top five performance issues plaguing Android devices in Q3 2016. Since users must keep both their device screen and GPS on in order to play the virtual reality game, both of these functions are known to drain the device's battery charge."
On Android devices, LeEco's Le 2 was the smartphone with the highest failure rate at 13 per cent, followed by Xiaomi Redmi 3S and Redmi Note 3 at 9 per cent. The lowest failure rates were for Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (at 5 per cent) and Lenovo Vibe K5 Note (at 4 per cent). Android users also faced difficulties in charging their devices 7 per cent of the times.

I thought this was interesting not becasue of the survivor leaks and Russel Hantz, but what happened to a message board poster about it. It appears a poster on a message board posted confidential information about the up and coming show, and was sued becasue of it. The suit was dropped only because he cooperated with the producers, and ratted out on Russel Hantz, who was in the last 2 seasons if you watch it. Just when you think you are an unknown ficticious name on the internet, doesn't mean you can not be tracked down, and liable for your actions.
Freedom of speech is not the right to tell military secrets that are stolen, or the secret results of a televison show that is about the be broadcast, that have been leaked.
'Survivor' boss not sure if Hantz leaked spoilers
Buzz up!3 votes ShareretweetEmailPrint AP – In this undated publicity image released by CBS, returning 'Survivor' contestant Russell Hantz is shown …

LOS ANGELES – Mark Burnett isn't sure if contestant Russell Hantz was spilling "Survivor" secrets.
The "Survivor" executive producer said during a teleconference Thursday that he had "no idea" if Hantz, the 38-year-old schemer from Dayton, Texas, who starred in the "Samoa" and "Heroes vs. Villains" editions, leaked information about the CBS reality TV competition.
"I found out the same time you found out," Burnett said Thursday. "I read it online. I had no idea about it. I don't know if it's actually true. Honestly, as of this minute, I still have not had a conversation with CBS or anyone even about it. I was thinking about this yesterday. I should probably call someone and ask someone."
Hantz was accused of revealing several plot points about his seasons, including the elimination order of contestants, before it aired, to a man who posted on the "Survivor Sucks" message board, according to a report released last week by The Daily Beast.
"Survivor" producers filed a lawsuit against the poster, Jim Early, last year but later dismissed it. Early told The Daily Beast that the lawsuit was dropped because he provided evidence proving that Hantz was the mole. CBS said it "investigated some of these claims."
"Survivor" and most reality TV shows require those exposed to the production to sign restrictive nondisclosure agreements that threaten legal action if information about the show is revealed. The "Survivor" contract states leakers can be liable for damages of $5 million.
A message posted on Hantz's Facebook page last week cautioned to "never believe what you read." The veteran castaway will join fellow bad boy "Boston" Rob Mariano and 16 new contestants for "Survivor: Redemption Island," the 22nd season, premiering Feb. 16.

Freedom of speech is not the right to tell military secrets that are stolen, or the secret results of a televison show that is about the be broadcast, that have been leaked.
Strictly speaking, it *is* both those rights.
It is simply 'under attack' and therefore it isn't an absolute right, because it can have consequences.

Changing rules in anything occurs when people abuse the rules, or test the limits of what is right, wrong, or acceptable behavior. Someone always tests the extremes, no matter if its the extreme case of leaking a confidential thing, like the outcome of a TV show, or making millions of kids omit school prayer because of one Atheist. Or letting boys into the girlscouts, or taking the word God out of the Pledge of Allegence.

I think what is often happening is that people forget that they are not having private conversations. That they are actually up on a sort of virtual stage in front of a possible worldwide audience.
That they realize they are in front of many witnesses, but not realizing or remembering that what they have written can be seen and retrieved by authorative powers at anytime. (You tube videos of bully beatdowns come to mind)
and also that..
Many really don't realize the power (though,many do.. but many don't) they have in their hands with the internet to sway groups of people's opinions (large and small)
To turn what might have been smoldering embers into flames of conflagration (look at Egypt, for example..or even the online bullying and stalking that has led to teen suicides)

Have you seen the show---" I used to be fat " or is it............whatever!
How a human being can eat themselves to 400 lbs is simply amazing. Exploiting it on TV--INSANE--Passing legislation in an effort to combat it--PRICELESS... :wall:

Commentary on Anthem for Doomed Youth by Wilfred Owens Essay
Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
The sonnet "Anthem for Doomed Youth" by Wilfred Owen explores the horrific and tragic conditions of the deaths of World War I soldiers on the Western front. By contrasting the soldiers' deaths with the customary Christian funeral ceremonies, Owen comments on the dark irony that the young men who gave their lives to serve "God and their country" were denied the respectful yet superficial rituals that the religious society value so much.
The title of the poem well expresses the sentiments Owen conveys throughout the sonnet.
The use of the term "anthem", which is usually refers to a joyous and often religious song of praise, is in this case referring to the widely held view that fighting for one's country is joyous and honorable. This anthem, however, is for "Doomed Youth", and there is a dark irony that this widely held sense of pride and nationalism about war actually results in futility and death. Owen chooses to describe the young soldiers as "doomed" because they are destined for death as soon as they enter the army, because of the futility of the strategies used in this war. The soldiers are also referred to as "youth" to emphasize their innocence and create the image of healthy, fit young men dying for nothing, which arouses pity in the reader.
The first stanza is an octave that describes the horrifically violent conditions of these young soldiers' deaths by contrasting and juxtaposing auditory imagery of the battlefield as the soldiers die with descriptions of customary funeral ceremonies. The first line is a rhetorical question, which forces the reader to truly ponder all that the soldiers lack in terms of acknowledgment and ceremonies of death, and this encouragement to think is further enhanced by the hyphen in the beginning of the second line, which forces the reader to pause.
Owen emphasizes the shocking nature of the soldiers' world, the war, by saying that the soldiers "die as cattle", which conveys the manner in which these young men are slaughtered inhumanely as if they are worthless and are treated as if they have no identity. Instead of "passing-bells", which is society's way of acknowledging a death, these soldiers receive the "only the monstrous anger of the guns", which indicates that their death goes unnoticed as if they were just cattle.
Furthermore, Owen comments on all the rituals and customs that the soldiers fail to receive. The personification of the guns as being "angry" contrasts to the solemn sorrow the soldiers should have received upon their death. The repetition of "only" in lines 2 and 3 emphasizes all that the soldiers lack, as we are then told that instead of funeral prayers, the soldiers instead hear the "stuttering rifles' rapid rattle"; the alliteration echoes the gunfire and the onomatopoeia allows the reader to hear the harshness and irregular but constant sounds of the guns.
By implying that these guns "patter out their hasty orisons", Owen points out the irony that these men who have gone to war for God are being killed and must have "orisons" muttered for them by the deadly machines that are responsible for their death. The "orisons" are described as "hasty", which indicates the rapid pace of the war and the fact that these soldiers have little time to live. Furthermore, instead of church choirs, the soldiers hear the "shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells", which seems to suggest a demonic sound, perhaps implying that the soldiers receive no peace even after death. The personification of the shells as "wailing" is ironic because the weapons that killed the soldiers sound as if they are mourning for them.
Further down the stanza, Owen subtly criticizes the Christian religion and its ceremonies as he describes the funeral customs as "mockeries". This term suggests the irony in the fact that these soldiers, who have given their lives for God and their country, are not able to enjoy these ceremonies that acknowledge their death, even though they may be the ones that most deserve them.
The last line of the first stanza foreshadows the coming volta as it shifts the focus from the conditions of death in war to the sadness that the deaths in the war brings to those who knew the soldiers. The sound of the gentle and beautiful "bugles calling" is a sharp contrast from the violent noises of the war but the mention of the "sad shires" seems to imply that this sad calling is coming from anonymous "shires" far away.
The sad, and less violent tone of the last line of the octave is carried onto the second paragraph, in which the tone becomes contemplative and sorrowful. There is a volta as the focus shifts from the violence of the war to the sober yet sincere way in which these young men die at war, with no elaborate customs but with pure, untainted emotion. Owen begins this stanza with another rhetorical question: "What candles may be held to speed them all?" The term "speed them all" seems to refer to the passage to heaven, and thus we are made to wonder: without candles or ceremony, will the soldiers be able to find their way to heaven, or will they haunt the battle grounds forever?
In the following lines Owen gives us the heartrending but optimistic answer that indicates that although the soldiers are neglected of the traditional funeral ceremonies, nature itself and those who love them give them a metaphorical ceremony that is much more sincere and pure. Therefore, although the candles are not in their hands, they are in "their eyes". This metaphor gives the image of sparkling, glittering eyes, as if the soldier's eyes were brimmed with tears as he died.
This pure emotion of sorrow of "goodbyes" is suggested to be purer and more sincere than artificial and elaborate ceremonies through the use of positive words such as "shine", "glimmer" and "holy". Owen suggests that through pure emotions, the soldiers have their own special kind of funeral as the "pallor of girls brows shall be their pall", which conveys how the sadness of their loved ones acts as their funeral covering. This substitution of emotions for the ceremonial objects continues in line 13, when the "tenderness of patient minds" metaphorically become these soldiers' flowers.
The last line of the poem is very powerful as it concludes the poem by showing how the deaths of the soldiers are being acknowledged in a way far superior to the religious ceremonies. Owen depicts the way in which instead of having the "drawing-down of blinds", that is a traditional act of acknowledging their death, all of nature is metaphorically drawing the blinds by slowly becoming dark in a "slow dusk". The adjective "slow" conveys the respect that all of nature is paying to these brave men, even as society forgets about them.
Ultimately, Owen takes the reader through an incredible journey in this short but deep sonnet. He conveys the the horrors of war and depicts all the religious ceremony that these soldiers are ironically denied off. However, towards the end of the poem, Owen brings us to realize the strength of the emotions and sorrow of those who loved these youth as their raw feelings became the soldiers' funeral. Although the poem is bleak and dark throughout, the last stanza is poignant and heartrending as we realize that emotions and love are stronger and more important than any customs or traditions.

April 2, 2015
Hello Hello Hello!
So it's already April and that means March favorites! I want to do these monthly from now on and I really hope you guys will enjoy them. I went shopping a lot during March and used a lot so I thought I would share what I have been loving!
So the first fashion piece I have been loving are these shorts from the brand Limonata. I bought these at Ross and have been wearing them constantly. They fit great and are super comfortable! They were only $12.99!
These bralettes are also from Ross from the brand New Kathy. I have been looking for something to wear under muscle tees and these work perfectly. I got three all at $4.99 each! Perfect for spring!
This teal tank is from Target by the brand Mossimo Supply Company and it is one of the softest shirts I have ever worn from Target. I usually pair this with my light wash jeans or my black leggings. Super comfy and very casual!
Now surprisingly this is my all time favorite and I don't even like baseball. I picked this up at Ross and I fell in love. I pair this with a white tank and a pair of dark jeans. Throw converse on and you're ready for a day at the mall. I like that it is navy and not black, it makes it more appealing for spring. Also very comfortable!
So I bought these little beauties a few weeks ago and I was worried that I wouldn't like them, but surprisingly I fell in love! They are a statement piece, but I can't help but be obsessed with them. Also when it comes to blocking out those rays, these work great! Pick them up at Forever 21 now!
I have been wanting a romper lately, but haven't been able to find one that covers me and isn't all lace and floral. I was at Forever 21 and this caught my eye the minute i walked in the doors. I have been wearing this with heeled boots and a kimono or just combat boots and a sweater. I am so happy with this purchase. It's a dark wash soft denim and perfect for the spring time!
I have been looking for some new body stuff and The Body Shop came through! The Early-Harvest Raspberry Body Scrub and Body Butter are incredible. Not only are they moisturizing, but they smell amazing. Every morning I get to wake up to the sweet smell of Raspberry. I have found that all of their body butters and scrubs are amazing, but this one is beyond amazing!
Looking for a new eye primer at a cheap cost? Then this one is for you! This duel sided stick will become your best friend. On one side is the e.l.f eye shadow primer and on the other is the sealer. The primer keeps shadow lasting all day. The sealer is a liquid that you mix with any shadow to create a liquid, smudge proof eyeliner. Perfect for those days when you want to rock that electric blue liner. Pick this up at Target!
Since I loved the eye primer I decided to try the face primer. I have very oily skin and this helps so much! Not as good as the Bare Essentials primer, but a good product for the price! Apply to the T-Zone and say goodbye to oil! I have been using this for about two weeks and I will be repurchasing. Available at Target!
Lately I have been wearing a lot of fun lip colors and this one is great! These e.l.f lipsticks are so moisturizing and very pigmented. This one in the shade "ravishing rose" is a deep and bright rose color that looks great on any skin tone. I have used this for a few weeks and really love the color payoff. Available at Target!
Lastly are my two favorite records for the month "V" by Maroon 5 and PRISM by Katy Perry. I got my record player for Christmas and have been very happy with the sound pay off. Out of the two I think the Maroon 5 one is my favorite, probably just because it's red. If you are looking to invest in a record player you should definitely check it out and get these two records!
Well that's it, I hope you enjoyed this post! Look forward to my April favorites!
Leave a comment with your blog so I can check you out!

have you a talent for freaking the shit out of people?
i can do this voice, which is really weird and unnatural... which really freaks out the people i know. so much so that i can use it as a punishment or threat. 'stop that, or i'll do... THE VOICE'. and it works.
any others?
I've got a face that scares the shit out of people. If anyone is fucking about I threaten to look at them with the face I was born with, and those that are brave enough to look find their eyeballs exploding with the inhumanity. Others run as fast as their little legs can carry them, having heard the fables of the man whose face can burn a whole through your head.
By the way, is the voice you are describing up there just the Irish accent?
i talk to girls
and they get really freaked out. does that count?
that's only cos
your penis is hanging out at the time
I just hit the rum and as the night unfolds, people look frightened, as if they think they might get slapped up at any moment.
But I wouldn't call that a talent.
that's not really a talent
don't you naturally talk with that freaky irish accent?
oops, i just read Judge_B's post
if it wasn't for him, ^that would have been REALLY funny
i have no talent
freaky or otherwise
I know 'THE VOICE' you mean
if it's the same one I can do then you're nearly as ace as me. Does it come from the back of your throat and sounds like an alien having dying?
i have only ever met two other people that can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we're a rare breed.
we should have a competition or something one day.
we shall
heh! aw, i feel like i've met a happy comrade. shall we make badges?
Someone else should make the badges
or we'll do THE VOICE. That'll totally laern them.
maybe, maybe.
it's hard to explain how to do it though. i'm not really sure how to explain it.
that's not really a talent
don't you naturally talk with that freaky welsh accent?
it's a glaring typo
rogue use of the gerund and completely the wrong verb. Happy now?
I pulled such a scary face once that my girlfriend nearly throttled me in terror.
I wouldn't say a talent...
...but I did freak out the Sailplanes' drummer with a Sudoku related anecdote.
I can multiply three-figure numbers in my head
and remember the middle name and phone number of most people I meet.
No. I have a calming aura about me.
I can crack the bones in my fingers louder than anyone else.
It really hurts when I do it and sometimes makes me cry.
I usually just confuse and weird them out
so they never speak to me again. and for funsies.
I have quite the knack for it. The problem is I do it even when it's unintentional :(
Yeah I do.
It's unintentional a lot of the time.
i can do a very good impression
of that freaky aphextwin face (richard d james cover?) that i used to freak my friends out with if they were a bit worse for where... hang on a minute, i just admitted to being an ugly fucker. damn.

About the space
GAS was established in 2016 when we took on the lease of a large warehouse building in Tradeston, Glasgow. It was a daunting prospect! A huge, cold and cavernous space.
Over the last few years, with the help of hundreds of different people, we have converted into the space it is today—an ever changing, ever growing, social centre full of established groups and endless opportunities for new and exciting things!
So far we have built a library, herbal clinic dispensary, kitchen, wood workshop, print workshop, meeting space, toilets, a garden with a greenhouse and a shed!
Anyone can book GAS by checking to see when the calendar is free and dropping us and email to say when you would like it and what for. GAS was built for groups fighting oppression and prioritises the groups that don't have access to other spaces. It also hosts events that are in solidarity with its 'vision' like DIY gigs, lectures, film screenings, fundraisers, creative stuff and even fitness classes!
