Skip to comments.Dartmouth: Dorm Assignments Will Not be 'Limited by Traditional Gender Binary'
Posted on 04/30/2012 8:36:08 AM PDT by IbJensen
(CNSNews.com) - Dartmouth College is expanding its "gender neutral" housing program, opening up more rooms where "students of any gender can cohabitate," the school newspaper, The Dartmouth, reported last week.
The Ivy League school's website says Dartmouth "seeks to provide a living environment welcoming to all gender identities; one not limited by the traditional gender binary."
The school's Director of Housing Rachael Class-Giguere is quoted as saying that gender-neutral housing options have been available on campus since 2007. (A growing number of colleges now offer such options.)
Recently, Dartmouth's Housing Office has seen a lot of interest in more options for male-female cohabitation on campus, one student told the newspaper.
The college also offers a separate gender-neutral "affinity" program," which caters to people who identify with a gender other than the one they were born with.
Students in the affinity program live together on the same floor and participate in events where they can "learn about and explore gender identity and expression in a supportive environment."
People who wish to join the gender-neutral affinity program must fill out a special application, which asks, among other things, if a student is male, female, or intersex. It also poses the question, "Do you have a third-person pronoun you prefer to be addressed by? If so, which one?"
Dartmouth says traditional, single-sex housing will continue to be available on campus -- "because it is a priority for some students," Class-Gigure told the paper.
For the class of 2014, Dartmouth says it received 18,778 applications, and of that number, 1,139 students were enrolled.
Undergraduate tuition, room, board and mandatory fees run around $55,365 a year.
According to the Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics, in the 2009-2010 school year, 1,142 Dartmouth students, or 27 percent of its student body, received federal student loans. The average loan was $4,995, for a total of $5.7 million.
652 Dartmouth students in the 2009-2010 school year also received federal Pell Grants, averaging $3,986 for each grantee and totaling about $2.6 million.
So the taxpayer tab for student loans in 2009-2010 was $8.3 million.
The federal aid came despite the fact that Dartmouth's endowment earned an investment return of 18.4 percent for the 2011 fiscal year, helping to boost the value of the endowment by $415 million to $3.41 billion as of June 30, 2011.
Dartmouth noted that the FY 2011 investment return marked the second consecutive year of double-digit growth, following a 10 percent return for FY 2010.
Dartmouth says its endowment funds approximately 20 percent of the Colleges annual operating budget. Programs supported by the endowment include Dartmouths need-blind financial aid and academic, research, athletic, recreational, and cultural programs.
COHABITATE = to live together as husband and wife, usually without legal or religious sanction. -----
Dartmouth has gone the way of Georgetown Law School Sandra Fluck style. The Dartmouth ladies are going to go broke on contraceptives alone much less the disease factor costs. The Fluck was spending $3,000 a semester (or was that a year?) on just contraceptives alone and then the Univesity gigs em with increased tuition fees every semester.
No one can afford an advanced education like this. How many to a dorm room is what I am wondering. Can a fella keep his whole stable in the same room or does he have to pay extra for other rooms too? No one knows who has what gender anymore, so maybe Dartmouth just gave up on sortin em out. Males in female bodies, females in male bodies and vice versa. Transgenderizations runnin rampant over the campus, and then there is the Transgendizing who ain't over the hump so to speak.
Just wait until bestiality is legalized.
Amazing what a ivy league college education can do to kids these days.
"Gender Binary"?! Wow, we non-Ivy Leaguers are really out of touch.
What do they want it to be?
Base 4, Base 10, Octal, Hexidecimal?
Private college. Their deal. As long as the students know what the arrangements are before enrolling I say let 'em be as wacko as they wish. No one is forced to choose Dartmouth, and I certainly hope that parents with the finances to choose that school for their kids will be discriminating enough to look into the situation.
Whole different analysis for a state school, but I suspect we'll soon see the same kind of arrangements, if they aren't already in place in at least some states' colleges.
Overheard in a locker room, "It was only our third date, and I made it to 73 65 63 6F 6E 64 base!"
nontraditonalal gender binary housing????
Geez, we used to call it SHACKING UP
Sounds like a nerd's dream come true
Couldn't get a date in high school and now can ask for a female roommate
Geez, we used to call it SHACKING UP
Sounds like a nerd's dream come true

Uh, huh. And just how many parents would gladly foot the bill so their daughter could shack up with some guy? Not many. So their kids take out a loan to make it happen and then complain about paying it back after they graduate.
It is hard to tell for sure, but the article makes it sound like they are looking to segregate people based on multiple sexual choices. If you replaced "gender identity" with "racial identity", I believe you'd end up with a system where people could ask to be paired up only with others if their "kind", and we'd all laugh at the notion.
On the other hand, imagine if someone figures out that Dartmouth is trying to put all the gay people together in one place so others don't have to interact with them.
LOL. That's what came to mind when I saw the word 'binary'.

Since there has been legalization of cannabis for recreational use, the number of new ideas and recipes for cannabis infused food has been incredible. Many users of medical marijuana prefer to ingest edibles rather than smoking, they find it more effective in dealing with pain. If you have never tried cannabis before and you are wondering which you'd prefer, edibles versus smoking let's break down the differences for you.
The Effects are Very Different
Cannabis infused edibles like the traditional pot brownie tends to be much strong that smoking or even vaporizing. When you ingest cannabis it is metabolized by your liver, this makes it much more effective in crossing the blood-brain barrier giving you a much more intense high. There is a different metabolic process when you inhale, it will go directly to the brain. Inhaling is a much quicker high but it will diminish far more quickly.
When you are trying edibles for the first time you need to start slow, it can take up to two hours for the effect to kick in but when they do it can be pretty intense. The high can last several hours unlike inhaling THC. Smaller doses will give you a more comfortable effect, stronger doses can give you more of a psychedelic high. Smoking, on the other hand can get you high within 20 minutes.
THC Content
Trying to figure out the content of edibles isn't easy and even those experienced in making edibles have a hard time with getting the dosages right. There is a delay between eating a pot brownie or some other edible and when the effects start to kick in. Be very wary of underestimating the dose. Most markets will consider 10 milligrams of THC as the standard and while ingesting large amounts of THC won't kill you, you won't enjoy the experience. The effects of smoking cannabis is almost immediate so it is far easier to judge the dose.
Healthier Alternative to Smoking
Aside from medical marijuana users there are plenty of people who prefer to ingest edibles rather than smoking because they don't like the idea of smoking anything. Using a vape is another alternative many people who are health conscious prefer to smoking, it isn't as harsh on the throat but the effects are still immediate. Edibles do also have a longer effect, so this is better for those that are trying to manage their own pain.
When you look at edibles versus smoking there are some pretty big differences, which you choose will depend on your own needs.

I love this polish! It's so hard to photograph well though. Garnet Lapis is an amazing duochrome that shifts through purple, lilac, royal blue, aqua and turquoise; this is two coats over two coats of black.
Here are a few pictures which while not doing it justice give an idea of the colour shift.
I am going to use this as a base for my new OPI Black Spotted. Apparently the Black Spotted works better over properly dry polish so I decided to wait 25 hours before applying it, which means I also get the chnace to wear this gorgeous polish out on its own for a day.

Have you had problems with the cheap diapers? Before I got into couponing, I bought Walmart brand diapers all the time, and never had a problem with them. They were about half the price of the name brands. Every baby is different, though. Every brand is shaped a little bit different, and some babies are sensitive to certain brands.

For a while there, I remember that the Walmart diapers did seem small. It was like they were putting the wrong diapers in the wrong packages. I kept taking them back, and even called the number on the package once. That is about the time I got into couponing, though, so I started buying name brand diapers for the same or less than I was paying for Walmart's. I guess it was not a mistake, but a permanant change. Weird.

Camille Diaz believes it is never too late to start doing what you love. She has long dreamed of becoming a Licensed Vocational Nurse and in October passed her state board exams to make it a reality. She is glad she never gave up her goal and at the age of 47 is looking forward to a long and rewarding career in the healthcare field.
Diaz grew up at the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians reservation near San Jacinto, where she still lives. When she was in her early 20s, she enrolled at D-Q University, an inter-tribal learning community that educated future nurses. It was one of six tribal colleges in the United States that opened in the early 1970s and maintained a satellite campus at the Soboba reservation.
Diaz worked as a medical assistant at clinics and private practices for more than nine years before she had to put her career on hold. After her mother's rheumatoid arthritis worsened and caused her to be bed bound, working outside the home got to be too much for Diaz. She was also a single mom with five children ranging in age from 3 to 12 and she wanted to focus on them more.
"I had always enjoyed helping people and wanted to go back to school to further my nursing career and become an LVN," Diaz said. "Enrolling and graduating from Kaplan College (in April) has put me on the career path to being able to benefit others, which is the profession that makes me the happiest."
Diaz said many of her classmates were much younger but it was fine because she possessed more experience about life and they knew more than her about technology and computers, so it all balanced out.
"Adapting to the ever-changing needs of a patient is a constant challenge but it allows me to grow and learn something new every day," Diaz said. "Part of what I like most is that you see people at their worst and if you are able to turn that around by the time they leave, they feel a little better – and so do I."
She said her family, which includes 10 grandchildren and another on the way, has always been a huge support.
"Whenever I had doubt or uncertainty, they were there pushing me and encouraging me to get through those rough school moments," Diaz said. "My desire to reach my goals also pushed me to succeed. I wanted to set an example for my kids, grandkids and my community."
She has applied for several jobs and hopes she will get hired at San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital in Banning because they let LVNs work in the emergency room and she would like to have that experience.
"Young people that have dreams should never give up on them," Diaz said. "There will always be obstacles in your life but you can't let those failures get to you. You are never too old to follow your ambitions, further your education or turn your life around."

Man robbed in Wilmington shopping center parking lot
Delaware State Police are looking for two suspects who allegedly robbed a man in the parking lot of the Canby Park Shopping Center in Wilmington.
Delaware State Police are investigating the robbery Wednesday of a 44-year-old man in the parking lot of a Wilmington shopping center.

Both men then fled.
No one was injured during the robbery.
The suspects are both described as black males between the ages of 20 and 25.
Police said one suspect is about 5-feet-4 inches tall with an average build, while the second is approximately 5-feet-2 inches tall with a heavy build.
Anyone with information on the suspects or crime is asked to call 911, to contact the Troop 2 Robbery Unit at 302-834-2630 ext. 6, or to submit an anonymous tip by texting CRIMES (274637) with the keyword "DSP," calling Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333, by downloading the Delaware State Police Mobile Crime Tip App or by filling out this online form.

Steps to Freedom Under Janus
With the U.S. Supreme Court decision Janus v. AFSCME, union memberships for government employees is no longer a mandatory condition of employment. This opens the door for current government union members to opt out of their membership. The process for leaving a public employee union is straightforward. There are two websites that will generate the letters required for both the union and your employer. Both the organizations providing the websites, the National Right To Work Foundation and the Mackinac Center, have decades of experience with labor law. [

How the Prevailing Wage Law Stopped Progress

Delaware's Filthy Rich
The mantra of President Obama is to raise taxes on the rich rather than cut the size of government. In Delaware, the governor, supported by the legislature, has already done this.

Fiscal Prisoners
The Caesar Rodney Institute has updated its Transparency Delaware website with state payroll and vendor data through 2010. A quick glance at the data shows that there will be a great deal to consider. Given the patterns uncovered by the Delaware News Journal in the past, CRI looked at "overtime" pay and "other" pay in the Delaware Department of Corrections in 2010. ("Other" pay includes more than 100 categories, the most important of which are holiday pay, shift differentials, call back pay, and sick day buyouts.) While half of the DOC's employees collected just their salary, 50% received overtime pay in 2010. Of those, 59 employees earned overtime that exceeded 100% of their salaries, plus considerable "other" pay. [

Another step for government transparency
Have you ever wondered which state employee receives the most compensation? (Orlando George with $454,230 in 2010...more than two and a half times what the Governor is paid. George has been paid more than $1.6 million over the past four years.) What about use of overtime and other pay by state employees? (A staff person in Health and Social Services had a salary of $58,000 in 2010 and earned an additional $132,000 in overtime and other pay.) Are you surprised that the University of Delaware received $10,000,000 as a vendor to the Delaware Department of Education in 2010? Do you know what your legislator is being paid? [

A Tale of Two Societies
Any discussion of job creation in Delaware must start with the recognition of the existence of the two distinct societies in Delaware: persons with limited education (a high school degree or less) and persons with ample education (a college degree or more). The limited education folks are being hammered by the current economy while the ample education crowd barely knows there has been a recession. The ample education crowd dominates policy decision making and that is to the distinct disadvantage of the limited education folks. [

It's Time to End the Riverdance

As documented by the Caesar Rodney Institute using U.S. Department of Justice data on convictions of state and local public officials, corruption is a growing problem in Delaware.

Again and again and again politicians have to learn that raising taxes above a reasonable level results in less tax revenue by encouraging tax avoidance.

The State's Benefit Bonanza: How Deep is the Hole?
The Delaware Public Employees' Retirement System is what you have dreamed about but are unlikely to ever enjoy.

Delaware: A State in Denial
The latest data on state to state migration confirms that folks vote rationally with their feet and that Delaware legislators are in denial about this fact. Census data shows that two-thirds of the net migrants into Delaware from 2007-09 came from just four states: New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Not surprisingly, these states have among the highest tax burdens, strong unions, and sluggish economies. Two-thirds of the net out-migrants from Delaware went to five states: North Carolina, Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee. All the states have comparatively low tax burdens, four are right to work, and these four have higher growth economies. [

The air is out of the Delaware economy
After two decades of stellar performance, Delaware's economy moved in reverse during the most recent decade, and the near term outlook is subpar. A DECADE OF DECLINE The major measures of performance for the Delaware economy from 2000 through 2010 are grim. Compared to a median annual growth in total employment of 2.5% during the 1990s, Delaware crept along at 0.4% during 2000-10. If government jobs are excluded, total employment in Delaware actually retreated -5.4%. Similarly, with government transfer payments excluded (e.g., Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid), inflation-adjusted per capita personal income dropped -7.6% and output per capita declined. WHAT ABOUT RIGHT NOW? [

The South rises again?
The latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis shows that the south is rising again in Delaware. Due to more restrictive land use regulations in New Castle County (NCC) and the migration of retirees into Sussex County, the past 20 years has seen NCC's share of the state's population fall from 67% to 60% as Sussex's share rose from 17% to 22%.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 21 million people in the United States had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes as of 2014. The CDC estimated that about 8.1 million people had the disease, but were undiagnosed. Untreated diabetes can become dangerous and can lead to other serious health complications. If you have the following symptoms, you may have type 2 diabetes.
Increased Thirst and Urination
One of the most often dismissed symptoms of diabetes is an increase in thirst and urination. What happens is that the kidneys have to work harder to rid the body of the excess glucose. This glucose is eliminated through urination. Along with the glucose, you lose fluid that you need to stay hydrated. The body signals thirst to help you replenish the hydration.
Itchy Skin
Fluctuations in blood sugar can cause skin problems. One of the most common is itchy skin, which may be a result of poor circulation. Darkened skin around the neck and armpits can also be a symptom of insulin resistance.
Grumpiness and Shakiness Accompanying Hunger
Diabetes makes it difficult for your body to regulate sugar levels without assistance. This means that when you are hungry, you may feel unsteady and ill as a result of your sugar dropping below normal levels. High sugar may also induce crankiness as your body struggles to lower your sugar without the normal assistance of insulin. In some cases, the side effects of high sugar are mistaken for depression and other issues.
Numbness or Pain in the Feet
The feet are often the first place that diabetics experience nerve damage as a result of diabetes. This nerve damage is what causes the feet to tingle or go numb. In some cases the feet may also swell and feel painful. If diabetes is caught early enough, the nerve damage may be reversed. However, if diabetes goes untreated for too long, it may end up causing permanent nerve damage.
Extreme Weight Loss
Extreme weight loss can be a welcome occurrence if you are overweight. If you know that your eating or exercise habits have not changed in any substantial way, however, it is important to consider that diabetes may be at the root of the weight loss. Since the cells cannot process glucose properly when you have diabetes, the body goes into starvation mode and begins to break down muscle mass. Your muscles and even your organs may suffer from this unhealthy weight loss.
If you suspect that you may have diabetes, your doctor can order a simple blood test to find out. This test may be considered preventative maintenance and may be covered by your health insurance. It is important to get tested for diabetes if you have any of these symptoms, so that you can start treating it before the disease can do lasting harm to your body.

The number of workers seeking state job assistance more than doubledin Anne Arundel County this winter, compared to the same period in 1990, the state Department of Economic and Employment Development reported last week.
DEED's latest figures show that during the first week of February, 5,763 workers filed claims for unemployment benefits, compared with 2,792 during the same week in 1990.
"We've seen a lot of activity because of what is happening with the economy," said Jane Howard, DEED spokeswoman. "It's expected to continue a little longer."

Spencer Boldman: I Want Adam to Get a Girlfriend on 'Lab Rats'!
Spencer Boldman keeps it cool as he enjoys some coffee with a friend after a meeting on Wednesday afternoon (November 13) in Los Angeles.
The 21-year-old Lab Rats actor recently opened up about what's in store for his character Adam during the third season.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Spencer Boldman
"He grows a lot, he gets jobs, our characters are always developing," Spencer told FanLaLa.com. "I always say I want my character to get a girlfriend because I'm the oldest on the show and there's never any girls my age on the show. I don't think that's going to happen, but I'm still hoping."

Old Faithful is not the biggest geyser at Yellowstone National Park. That title could be bestowed on one known as Giant Geyser, which can shoot columns of water as high as 300 feet into the air for about an hour at a time. Old Faithful is famous in part because it erupts so frequently and so predictably.
However, Old Faithful's faithfulness isn't the only thing that makes it attractive to visitors. Though it's not the biggest, its eruptions occur approximately every 60-90 minutes and can be 100 feet or more in height. Giant Geyser, on the other hand, erupts rather less frequently and not on a predictable schedule.

Gadkari meets Raj, asks him to tone down attack on BJP
With former Bharatiya Janata Party national president Nitin Gadkari stepping in to defuse the situation, his party and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) seemed to have a reached a truce on Wednesday.mumbai Updated: Mar 14, 2013 01:32 IST
With former Bharatiya Janata Party national president Nitin Gadkari stepping in to defuse the situation, his party and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) seemed to have a reached a truce on Wednesday.
As the relation between the two parties had turned bitter following verbal duels between MNS chief Raj Thackeray and BJP leaders, Gadkari — who shares cordial relations with Thackeray — visited the latter's Shivaji Park residence over dinner on Tuesday night.
According to sources, Gadkari advised Thackeray to tone down his attack on the BJP. The duo emerged from Thackeray's residence three hours later, refusing to speak to the media on what transpired in the meeting.
But, the outcome was visible on Wednesday. Leaders from both the parties refrained from targeting each other.
Sources said Gadkari, who has always encouraged friendship between the BJP and the MNS, did not want Thackeray to turn into an enemy. Soon after he became the state BJP president, Gadkari built a good rapport with Thackeray, with sights set on getting MNS on board in the future.
"Gadkari thinks that the Sena-BJP alliance cannot win power with the MNS eating into our votes. At a time when people are not happy with the current government and the elections are a year away, it makes no sense to let the MNS split votes," said a key BJP leader.
Gadkari was unhappy when Thackeray took names of his aides -- MP Ajay Sancheti and legislator Mitesh Bhangadia -- in connection with the irrigation scam, said sources.
"The broad understanding was that the two parties can criticise each other, but not to the extent of causing political damage to the other side," sources added.
"Besides, Gadkari also wanted to send a message across to his own party and allies that he still calls the shots in the state BJP," said the leader.
At the meeting, Thackeray criticised Opposition leader in the Assembly Eknath Khadse for ignoring the MNS on the floor of the lower house. Gadkari assured Thackeray that he would take up the issue with his party.
Political experts say that BJP sees Thackeray as their future ally.
"The BJP knows that Thackeray can damage their prospects and want to join hands with him," said Prakash Bal, a political analyst.
The spat between the BJP and the MNS had resulted in blunt attacks from both sides since Sunday. While Thackeray alleged that Khadse was hand-in-glove with the state, Khadse claimed that builders' lobby was behind the MNS campaign.
The Shiv Sena, however, is not amused with the development.
"Thackeray has already done the damage. There is no need to pamper him," said a Sena legislator.

CSIRO has used solar energy to generate hot and pressurised 'supercritical' steam, at the highest temperatures ever achieved in the world outside of fossil fuel sources.
According to the CSIRO, supercritical steam is a breakthrough for solar energy and means that one day the sun could be used to drive the most advanced power stations in the world, currently only driven by coal or gas.
CSIRO's Energy Director, Dr Alex Wonhas said this milestone is a game-changer for the renewable energy industry.
"It's like breaking the sound barrier; this step change proves solar has the potential to compete with the peak performance capabilities of fossil fuel sources," Dr Wonhas said.
Commercial solar thermal power plants around the world use subcritical steam, operating at similar temperatures but at lower pressure. If these plants were able to move to supercritical steam, it would increase the efficiency and help to lower the cost of solar electricity.
The $9.7 million research program is supported by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and is part of a broader collaboration with Abengoa Solar, the largest supplier of solar thermal electricity in the world.
The government has decided to axe ARENA as part of its plan to head towards a budget surplus. In addition, the CSIRO has experienced further cuts.

Formula 1 News - August, 2011
Aug.17 (GMM) Franz Tost has named three drivers he considers "suitable" for Toro Rosso to target.The Austrian admitted that his premier choices - Vettel, Hamilton, Alonso and Rosberg - are "unlikely" to want to drive for Red Bull's secondary team."So when thinking of suitable guys I would pick three, if I may," the Toro Rosso team principal told F1's official website.Tost mentioned Paul di Resta and Nico Hulkenberg, and also Romain Grosjean, the former Renault driver who is on the cusp of winning the GP2 title and reportedly in talks with up to three teams for the 2012 season."Renault burned Grosjean when they teamed him up with Alonso (in 2009), but I still believe he's got huge potential," he said.Tost acknowledged however that it is Toro Rosso's owner that selects the drivers for his team."Well, Red Bull are choosing the drivers from their pool. But that was always the intention and the reason for this team to exist," he said. Comments powered by Disqus

"All that's necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-01-12 – 1797-07-09) was an Irish political philosopher, Whig politician, and statesman; he is regarded by many as the "father" of modern conservatism.
Following up to my previous blog http://darthvadai.blogspot.com/2010/03/hockey-better-devil-you-know-than-devil.html where I spoke about the frustration of people not wanting to help and more over people wanting to sabotage.
I was delighted that the Selangor Under 16 team achieved its primary target.
For a team what finished 8th in 2008, did not qualify for the semis at 2009 it is a great achievement to get to where we are.
We play Perak in the semis a power house, whatever the result it be a bonus for not we are satisfied with this
The people who did nothing I sure hope they dun show up in the batiks and coats when I toast to this team. It is time people realize you can be part of a system that's trying to move froward and do nothing.

Feb 11th, 2017: Cock
Louise's name is a little odd for a cock, but he was mis-sexed at the farm, which was lucky because most
Snakeadelic Saturday Feb 11 09:17 AM
My mom had a rooster who looked exactly like Louise--size included! Hers was Armando, and he was a buff Orpington who had not felt the touch of a human hand in most of his life when she bought him as an 18-month-old free-range rooster. I was living in a different state, so she emailed me all the funny and wonderful stories that ALWAYS happen with my mom and poultry. Like 3 months after she got Armando, I got a chance to visit, and of course she's gotta show off the new boy in the chicken yard. So she goes in and sits down and starts patting her lap, sing-songing "Armando, where's my Armando, who wants chicken treats?"

I like to use a pumice stone. It is a stone made out of volcanic rock (lava) perfect for genitally
removing skin from your feet.
I suggest using it at least once a week. You can decide how often to use it depending on your lifestyle. You do not want to use it too much or too rough. You can expose a very delicate layer of skin which can cause bleeding or even worse infection.
Getting a pedi at a Salon side note: Definitely try to avoid using the foot razor, it's kinda like going to some random house and using there razor. (Some salons do not properly clean there tools and it can get messy).
Whether you do this in between pedis, instead of pedis, or to save money it's a great way to keep your feet light and soft.
Highly recommended is the Mr. Pumice Bar you can find in many of your local stores. Yep you have seen it before so next time go ahead and pick it up!
Here's to Soft Feet!!
Love Sweet Candy Girl :-*

Click above for more images of the Citroen C-Cactus concept
It may look more than a bit, um, quirky, but so did the iconic 2CV that the C-Cactus concept was meant to embody. Built to do more with less -- materials that is -- the Citroen C-Cactus concept that was shown last year at the Geneva Motor Show used innovative construction techniques to cut the number of components required to manufacture it in half and is what Citroen calls an essentialist vehicle. A production version would attempt to follow that same pattern and could be powered by a version of the French automaker's new HYmotion2 hybrid system, consisting of a 1.0-liter diesel coupled to an electric motor. The powertrain could return over 100 miles per gallon according to the automaker. Another possibility would be to go full electric with the goal of achieving a 100 mile range and a 70 mile per hour top speed. Just how much of the concept's radical look would be carried over remains to be seen, though being Citroen, we're sure it would be suitably radical no matter what.
[Source: Citroen, AutoblogGreen]
Citroën has embarked on a new project to look into the feasibility of producing an ultra-environmentally friendly vehicle based on the critically acclaimed C-Cactus concept car.
The C-Cactus represents a new approach to eco-friendly design. The radical, essentialist vehicle, with its emphasis on environmental technology, features a simplified design throughout, significantly reducing the number of components and leading to a reduction in weight, cost and the impact on the environment.
Removing features that are non-essential to the running of the car or the comfort and safety of the occupants – even doing away with the dashboard – has resulted in an interior comprising around half the parts of a similarly-sized conventional car. The door panels are made of just two parts, compared to twelve in a conventional car and many components are made from recycled materials.
The project will consider a range of powerplants including a 1.0 litre, sub 100g/km CO2 , petrol; a HYmotion2 diesel–electric hybrid returning near 100mpg fuel economy and CO2 emissions of just 78g/km or a 100% electric model, similar to the version which is on display at the Paris motor show and which offers zero emissions together with a top speed and range of almost 70mph and 100 miles respectively.

Who next for Chelsea hot seat?
Arguably the hottest of hot seats in soccer is vacant yet again after Chelsea's ruthless Russian owner Roman Abramovich removed Andre Villas-Boas on Sunday.
The callow Portuguese lasted just 256 days at Stamford Bridge before "the project", as he usually referred to the task of revitalising the west London club's ageing squad, was aborted.
The 34-year-old became the sixth coach to be axed since the Russian oligarch bought the club in 2003 and he will probably not be the last.
Accepting the Chelsea job is fraught with danger and rarely ends in a warm handshake — however much silverware is added to the trophy cabinet.
Jose Mourinho, the most successful manager in the club's history, was jettisoned after losing a battle of egos with the big boss and Carlo Ancelotti fell out of favour just a season after landing the league and FA Cup double.
Avram Grant came within a John Terry penalty miss of handing Abramovich the Champions League he craves.
Only Guus Hiddink, whose role was always a temporary one from February 2009 to the end of that season, escaped the wrath of Abramovich — leaving with a friendly pat on the back after winning the FA Cup.
World Cup-winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, the man Hiddink was brought in to replace, survived not even as long as Villas-Boas and the Brazilian said on hearing of the latest casualty that it will "be hell" for the next candidate.
But who will that be? Speculation is already rife with a list including former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez, Mourinho and even possible England manager-in-waiting Harry Redknapp.
Here is a quick look at the leading candidates.
Liverpool fans will always remember the goatee-bearded Spaniard for the improbable Champions League triumph over AC Milan in 2005 but a lack of Premier League success and a dreadful spell at Inter Milan haunt him.
However, his stock at Anfield has risen since his departure given Liverpool's continued troubles and while Chelsea fans might question the style of football Benitez might serve up, he has the personality to deal with the senior players in the dressing room.
He could also be the man to reboot misfiring striker Fernando Torres, having signed him for Liverpool.
The Special One II sounds like a Hollywood sequel but Chelsea fans will hope rumours of his return are not fiction.
Villas-Boas was supposed to be Abramovich's new Mourinho – an impossible task as it turned out – and now the owner may go back to a tried and tested formula despite the pair failing out.
Mourinho had a special bond with the senior players during his three-year reign that brought two league titles, although should he return he would want an enormous war chest that could spell the end for the likes of Didier Drogba and John Terry.
Barcelona's boss is rumoured to be leaving the Nou Camp at the end of the season with no new contract signed and FIFA's World Coach of the Year would be a popular choice as Chelsea manager.
However, at Barca he merely had to conduct the orchestra having inherited a squad of talented players in their prime while at Chelsea he would have to swap the baton for a sledgehammer as he begins a major re-building project.
A long shot but a logical choice for Abramovich.
Tottenham fans are already resigned to losing their manager to England — but losing him to Chelsea would be unthinkable.
His relationship with Abramovich would be interesting but has a proven track record of turning round teams' fortunes and fuelling players with confidence. He would be the first Englishman to boss Chelsea since Glenn Hoddle in 1996.
The popular Dutchman has the best win percentage of Abramovich's managers, even better than Mourinho, albeit during a brief spell as temporary coach.
He steered Chelsea to a 2009 FA Cup triumph and Champions League semi-final before returning to his job as Russia coach.
The sticking point would be prising him away from FC Anzhi Makhachkala, the mega-rich Russian club who have made him the highest paid coach in world football only recently.
A safe pair of hands. The astute Frenchman spent a year at Stamford Bridge as a player before a natural move into management.
He impressed at Monaco by reaching a Champions League final, had a brief stint at Juventus taking them back up to Serie A and won Ligue 1 in 2010 with Olympique Marseille.
Marseille have been up and down since but he could be the man for a long-term project.

Benitez already knows the league and has had positive results with Liverpool. At the same time he knows how to take the maximum advantage of Torres.
Guardiola is close to renewing with Barcelona
Mourinho has an easy path to the Champions league final and his roster is way better than Chelsea's whose core members Drogba, Lampard and Terry are old the team will need a masive facelift at the same time that Manchester City might be a more attractive place right now.
Hiddink has all the money on that team to get players and be a respectable european squad in a project somehow similar to what Malaga is doing in Spain.
Deschamps is unproven.

The economy is in a current state of turmoil. The number of citizens without a job is high and people are facing reduced employment hours or worse. If there is any time when a job is needed, this is it. Keep reading for tips that can help you get a job.
Make sure to keep your resume updated when you are looking for a job. You do not want a company that is interested in you to have a hard time reaching you. If they cannot get in touch with you right away they will look for someone else to fill the position.
Before you go for your interview, do some research on the hiring company, about their line of business and their sales. Letting your interviewer know that you have done some research will show him your initiative in finding information and getting results. These are good characteristics of a dependable and resourceful employee that companies value.
To a certain extent, be willing to swallow your pride. You may feel that you should only accept a certain type of job, with a certain type of salary. However, most jobs are better than no jobs, as you will continue to gain experience and references while working. Therefore, be flexible with what you are looking for.
Do not always trust jobs you see on the Internet. While certain sites are safe, other sites, such as Criagslist, have many scammers that not only are false employers, but are looking to take your money. The best way to go job hunting is by asking people you can trust or by going to establishments to ask if they are hiring.
As you search for a steady job, remember that you can pick up some extra work on the side. Nearly everyone has a skill that they can put to use. Try freelance writing, lawn work, or buying things to sell at a profit. The only limits to your options are the ones you put on them, so be creative!
Check to make sure the references on your resume are current. It will be bad for an employer to call any of your references and find the information is no longer valid. Call each of your references so that you can ensure their number and location are properly recorded on your resume.
It is not only important to answer questions during an interview, but to ask them as well. This shows employers that you are interested in the company. Questions about the company itself, the position, benefits and other issues you would like to know about are important to ask while in the interview.
When you are going on your interview, make sure that you groom yourself properly a few days before. If you are a guy, shave and get your hair cut to look as professional as possible. If you are a woman, use minimal makeup to achieve a natural look and sport a conservative hairstyle.
Be careful that you do not bad mouth your former employer at all during a job interview. Even if you left your job on bad terms you do not need to get into all of the details. Explain that you are looking for a new opportunity and try to put a positive spin on it.
Remember that a job interview allows both, you and the interviewer to get to know each other. View the interview as an opportunity to see whether you would like to work for this company instead of worrying about whether the interviewer will want to hire you. This new perspective will help you relax so that you can perform your best during the interview.
If you are working with an employment agency, be sure to tell them about every job you apply for on your own. The recruiter may be planning to submit your information to that same employer. They need to know you already applied for the position so that multiple applications and resumes are not submitted.
You have the tools and the information to help you land a job in this era of economic crisis, so you it to your advantage. Having a job means that you can provide for yourself and your family members. There's a job waiting for you right now, so get out there and find it!
