However, it is possible to lose cellulite in 2 weeks, at least some of it if you don't have too much.

One of the first things you will want to do is stop eating unhealthy things. This means staying away from high fat foods, caffeine, alcohol and all the junk food you know is no good for your body. If you have the unhealthy habit of smoking cigarettes you must also stop doing that immediately, believe it or not this also plays a role in the appearance of your cellulite, thus another reason for you to quit.

Now that you have gotten rid of those unhealthy things, go and buy yourself a cellulite cream, this will also help you reach your goal to lose cellulite in 2 weeks. The Nivea patches work great, but you are free to use whichever product you like the best. You don't have to waste a lot of money either if you go to a local store like Wal-Mart or CVS, you will find a variety of cheap cellulite products that all work pretty well. Don't forget to follow the directions exactly as they are.

Now the tip that is vital for you to lose cellulite in 2 weeks, is getting that body in motion! Yes, work out. Do plenty of exercises, you can walk, jog, swim and of course do squats. Most people hate to work out, you sweat, it hurts and it can get boring or you just can't find the time. But picture yourself with smooth, dimple-free skin and I'm sure you will find the motivation to exercise. Nivea Goodbye Cellulite Challenge Reviews

Eye Cream Q10

Posted on October 31, 2011 by

It is quite normal to expect people to want to look attractive and this might explain why anti-aging skin care products are so successful; it is only natural that as people get older they want to continue looking young so will use products that help them achieve this. Skin is important so a great deal of effort goes into the preparation of beauty products especially those that increase the production of collagen, which is the primary protein in skin; twenty-five per cent of the skin's protein is collagen. Most anti-aging products (collagen included) fall into a category of natural everyday products we all use; known as antioxidants, they are the bodies method of slowing down the aging process.

Probably the best known of these anti-oxidants is vitamin C although no-one really knows just how much we should have each day. Vitamin C formulated skin care treatments suffer with a particular problem of oxidizing on contact with the air which causes a problem for users and manufacturers.To overcome this problem, manufacturers use alternative skin care treatments that still provide the same benefits but not the high manufacturing costs. These alternative products are not as effective as vitamin C but vitamin E and lipoic acid are anti-oxidants and are now being used.

Vitamin E is found in the blood and is an antioxidant that is also used to increase the bodies defenses against other health problems; it helps build resistance against infection like cancer for example. On the other hand, lipoic acid or alpha-lipoic acid is necessary for energy production which keeps us alive; it can also help reduce the aging process which affects the skin.Phytochemicals aren't produced by the body but are extracted from a number of plants and used in many anti-aging skin care products to combat the signs of aging. A further benefit of these phytochemicals is their ability to prevent the onset of certain cancers; such as:· Cancer of the Prostate · Cancer of the Breast · Colon Cancer

These types of cancer are also becoming some of the most prevalent worldwide.It has also been discovered that there are anti-aging benefits to vitamins B5, B6 and B12. The use of anti-aging skin care products is a huge scientific field to research and has far greater potential than just producing goods that reduce the visible signs of age. There is no doubt that what has been learned so far is only a small part of the jigsaw puzzle; there is still a long way to go however, before methods that successfully reduce the effects of age are commonplace.

With the research that is now taking place, many people are confident that in time, more effective, cheaper anti-aging skin care products will be discovered. Scientific research into anti-aging products is still in the early stages but they should never be relied upon; in some respects the real way ahead lies in our own hands as there are many things we can do to reduce the signs of aging - naturally. Regular sleep patterns, exercise, a good healthy diet and less stress will all contribute to reducing the signs of aging, for instance!

  4. QUESTION:
    Is there an eye cream for wrinkles and dark circles that does not cause tiny white bumps under the eyes?
    I have been trying out different eye creams around my eyes. I've noticed that I've started to form wrinkles, dark circles and slight baginess under my eyes. I've used St. Ives Vit. K cream for the dark circles, L'oreal Hydrafresh, Nivea Eyezone (with Q10), L'oreal RevitaLift Eye and Oil of Olay Total Effects. But I don't use them long enough to see the results. The problem is when I use these creams under my eyes, tiny white bumps (like whiteheads) form on my lower eyelids. I only apply small amounts of the cream. Still, the white bumps appear. Is there an alternative to eye creams that fight wrinkles and bags without causing the skin around my eyes to break out? I have oily, sensitive skin. Please help.

    • ANSWER:
      Hello,

      Dark circles and puffy eyes are one of the most frequently asked how-to-cure skincare related questions. They may be caused by a variety of factors like hereditary, lack of sleep, not enough water, stress, age, lack of certain vitamins and minerals in the diet, overloading on alcohol, etc. However, there are natural ways you can dramatically reduce, if not eliminate them. The important aspect to remember is that most skincare problems are internal problems relating to the diet. There is no specific food that causes a skin problem in itself, but it may be certain ingredients in certain foods that cause the skin to erupt.

      Apply these techniques to the letter to see a difference in a short time.

      Puffy and baggy eyes First, make sure you are getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night, drinking 8-10 glasses of water, eliminating alcohol, and are reducing stress as much as possible. To help with reducing stress, stretch for at least 10 minutes a day, exercise, and do something you enjoy. It is helpful to have a notebook by your bed to write 2 (or more) things you learned or cherished that day. This practice helps to put the day in a better perspective.

      Next, you should tweak your eating plan slightly to expedite results. If there is one thing you can do to expedite your results, avoid salty foods. Salty foods are a huge contributing factor to puffy and baggy eyes because they contribute to water retention. Water retention makes the body (as well as the skin) appear bloated and puffier. Under the eye region is very delicate, so the puffiness is more apparent there than on other parts of the face.

      For the natural solution: Purchase organic wheat germ oil from a health food store and apply under the eyes and around the eyes twice a day.

      Dark under eye circles You should follow the same criteria stated for puffy and baggy eyes to avoid salty foods. However, you may try these secrets.

      Secret 1: Mix turmeric powder with raw pineapple juice. The trick is pineapple juice must be taken from a raw pineapple, not a canned version. Mix them together until a paste-like formation forms. Gently spread this mixture under the eyes. Let it stay on the eyes for 15-20 minutes. Rinse it off with lukewarm water. Do this procedure at nighttime for a week. You should see visible results within that time frame.

      Secret 2: For serious dark circles, purchase almond oil (the wheat germ oil is more appropriate for puffy eyes) from a health food store. Gently pat the oil under the eyes and around the eye. Do this in the morning and evening to see fast results.

      Dietary change: Eat 2 cups (or more) of organic spinach everyday for either lunch or dinner. It's convenient and best to buy frozen organic spinach or organic spinach leaves, as non-organic spinach is high in pesticide residuals. In addition, eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup of raw almonds (must not be roasted or salted) 3 hours after eating dinner. In addition to eliminating salty foods, doing these dietary changes will quickly speed up the results.

      I hope this helps.

  9. QUESTION:
    what is the best anti wrinkle cream out there ?

    but i just wanted to know what is the best inexpensive anti wrinkle cream & eye cream out there that you would recommend in preventing wrinkles & bags under eyes

    • ANSWER:
      the Nivea one your using is a good one, also Olay regenerist is a good one too. i don't know if you have a Aldi store where you live, but in the UK Aldi is a budget supermarket and their Lacura Radiance moisturising cream is £3.99 and has been voted the best wrinkle cream in loads of magazines beating the Boots Repair and Protect that costs about £20.

  10. QUESTION:
    Eye firming cream? (Emphasis on firming)?
    Hi! I'm looking for a good eye firming cream that's good for sensitive skin. I already use Eucerin Q10 anti-wrinkle lotion, which is a great moisturizer, but I'm also looking to firm the skin around my eyes. It would help if you've actually had success with a product that really firms skin and is okay for sensitive skin. Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      You should go with Kinerase Restructure Firming Eye Cream

      Plant extract, LOXL stimulator, to reinforce elastin
      For all skin types
      Hypoallergenic
      Non-comedogenic
      Smoothes fine line and diminishes crow's feet

  11. QUESTION:
    32 years old, advice on anti-ageing creams?
    I'm 32, starting to see some fine lines around my eyes and my foundation has begun to settle slightly into the lines from my nose to mouth - think I need to step up the skincare routine with a more intensive skin range but don't know where to start, and don't want to waste money . Am I too young to be using Garnier Nutirionist, or Olay's one that 'fights the 7 signs of ageing' and the like? Prone to breakouts though I don't have oily skin, so don't want anything too heavy. I have a sunscreen in my foundation and normal moisturiser (usually just Nivea, Boots or whatever's on special!) and have been using Nivea Q10 eye cream. Any thoughts? Thanks very much :)

    • ANSWER:
      Olay would be a good product to use. The Regenerist line is the one for people 30 and over (Total Effects 30 and under, Definity is for mature skin). Regenerist has products specifically for lines around the eyes, mouth and for the whole face. They also have Derma Eye Pods which target the eye area. The eye pods aren't cheap but work great (you will see results in 3 weeks). You can go to olay.com and check out all their products.

  13. QUESTION:
    Under eye concealers / line fillers?
    I am trying to find a good under eye concealer and/or line filler and/or eye cream. (A triple threat!!) I am 25 with alright skin except for these two wrinkles/lines under my eyes. Everything seeps into them and makes me look much older than i am. I've tried alot of drug store brands but them seem pretty dry and draw more attention to them. Some of the more expensive ones I've heard of are:

    *Lorac Under Cover Lover
    *Physicains Formula Co Q10 (i think its called)
    *TheBalm Time Balm
    *Philosophy Hope in a Tube
    *Bliss Wrinkle Twinkle
    *Duwop Reverse EyeLiner
    *Too Faced Wrinkle Injection

    If you have tried any of these please let me know and what you think or if you can offer any suggestions. Also the skin around my eyes is pretty sensitive (more than what is considered normal) and i know these poducts are pretty pricey but if they work than it's worth it. Thanks for any help you can offer!!!

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know about cover up but for prevention or damage control use Oil of Olay's eye gel. It works!

      I started useing it and saw at least a 70% improvement.

  15. QUESTION:
    What new products or even old ones are you in love with?
    Ok, I am in love with the Nivea M. Multiple purposes made with creatine eye cream. LOVE IT. I use it every day.
    Moisturizers I am using Nivea Q10 every other night and Aveeno Facial Moisturizer with SPF every other morning. Oh and new postively radiant Aveeno facial and body scrubs are awesome.
    I am looking for some good lip creams... i hate chappy lips and thought i'd share my faves and see if anyone has ideas on lip creams.
    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      I am in love and only use all natural products. I LOVE ALL origins products. My face has never been so clean and not so oily since discovering their line of makeup and skin care.

      I also love Aveda shampoo. They have this really awesome Conditioner in "Black Malva", which helps me keep my roots in check. I dye my hair dark brown and with naturally blonde hair, it can look awful. This conditioner has particles in it (all plant based) that soak into my roots, creating a "all over" colored effect without the mess of hair dye's every 6 weeks.

      Origins has some wonderful products for lips. They have liptints that are all organic, and feel so good on the lips. If your lips are always chapped, they also have this "lip remedy", which helps bring back all of your natural moisture. I love it.. =)

  16. QUESTION:
    What skin care products/line do you like the best? Why? i.e., face wash, eye makeup remover, etc,?
    Face wash, face wipes, eye makeup remover, toner,eye/undereye creams, face/day/night creams, blemish/acne treatment,....and anything else you use.
    I mostly use the Nivea Visage Line, but there are some others.

    Face Wipes-Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing towelettes(these take everything off!) and I use Olay daily facials express wet(I love the texture!)
    Eye Makeup remover-Oil free eye makeup remover by Neutrogena(gets Everything off!)
    Toner-Nivea Visage Moisturizing toner(it smells great, skin feels refreshed)
    Eye Creme-Nivea Visage Q10 Advanced Wrinkle reducer(love the smell/texture, not too greasy)
    Day Creme-Nivea Visage Q10 Advanced Wrinkle reducer(love for the same reasons as above)
    Night Creme-Nivea Visage Q10 Advanced Wrinkle reducer(same as above)
    Blemish/acne treatment-Clean & Clear maximum strength Invisible Blemish treatment(really reduces size/redness. usually after the 1st use)

    Face Wash-I want to try the Nivea Visage gentle cleansing and eye makeup remover

    • ANSWER:
      i use neutrogena to remove makeup bc it is slick and justs wipes it right off, clean and clear for face wash as well as st.ives apricot scrub to exfoliate skin, and attitude product from the dead sea as a face cleanser (can be bought at the mall from those people from isreal!) and i use clinique products for moistirizers and preventon of wrinkles but i hear este lauder is great for the face in terms of preventing it from aging and dark spots, it is just expensive.

  17. QUESTION:
    Can you moisturise too much?
    This is my new face care routine. I'm 24, have dry skin, uneven skintone, uneven texture, never had a problem with spots or blackheads.

    Morning:
    1) Wash with Clinque's face wash
    2) Apply Clinque's clarifying lotion
    3) Massage Clinque's dramatically different mouisturizing lotion into my face.
    4) Pat nivea q10 anti wrinkle eye cream under and around my eyes.
    5) (After a few minutes) Massage anti aging serum by Lacura into my skin.
    6) Massage an over-all anti wrinle cream into my skin. I'm currently using Time Zone by Estee Lauder but only until it runs out then I'm switching back to my Lacura one.

    Evening

    Steps 1-3 are same.
    4) Pat advanced night repair eye cream by Estee Lauder under and around my eyes.
    5) Apply Advanced night repair by Estee Lauder to my most obvious lines
    6) Apply Lacura's anti aging serum
    7) Apply over-all anti wrinkle cream.

    I also am drinking 2 litres of water per day
    1 tablespoon of manuka honey per day
    1 skin, hair and nails vitamen per day

    I've only been following this full regime for about 3 days but my skin already feels and looks great. Any lines I did have are fading and my skin looks smoother, more even. It feels softer too. But what I want to know is, can you apply to much cream to your skin...? Will all these creams have an adverse affect somehow?

    Thank you.

  18. QUESTION:
    Who likes Nivea skin products
    I certainly do. I especially like the Nivea face moisturizer since it's oil free. I've gone off their Q10 cream since they've changed the scent so I've changed to Olay cream for under my eyes etc... I just wanted to know who else uses Nivea?
    Bleed.. I do too. I had to change the face cream though because I don't like the new fragrance :( It smells a bit weird and gives me a headache.

    • ANSWER:
      I think Nivea has the best product out there for hydrating the skin, I use their lotion during the summer and their body out for the winter when my skin used to be dry, now it's always soft and never dry. I've used other lotions by other companies but I always had to re-apply during the day, not with Nivea. I apply once and don't think about it for the rest of the day they are great.

  19. QUESTION:
    I'm 25 and have fine lines under my eyes and on my forehead! Help!?
    Hi,

    I'm 24, just about to turn 25. I have recently noticed fine lines under my eyes, on my forehead and just the other day I noticed that when I smile largely my skin bunches up at the corner of my right eye a little bit. I have neglected my skin as of late, not eating well, not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep and not using any eye creams or moisturiser very often.

    I have started to use Nivea Q10 plus anti wrinkle eye under my eyes twice daily, will this help? Is the product well reviewed? I also started moisturising twice daily with Nivea daily essentials night cream.

    Thanks in advance.

    P.S. (Is 25 old??)

    • ANSWER:
      Hi! I was horrible taking care of my skin in my teens and up to about a year ago. I tanned way too much, I never took my make up off at night, and I have never had a really good diet not to mention I'm a recovering addict, which means I did a number to my body. I didn't really start getting noticeable lines on my forehead, crowfeet area, or around my mouth until about 3 years ago and I'm going to be 29 in July. What seems to be noticeable lines to you, are not so noticeable to everyone else, trust me. You are your number one critic. However, you need to realize that everyone's skin is different, and even if you did take care of your skin from the get-go you would probably still be having this same problem.
      My best suggestion to you, be sure to clean your face thoroughly every night. I suggest you buy something like a Neutrogena Wave Sonic Spinning Power Cleaner. Once you thoroughly clean your face, put on an oil free night moisturizer. I feel like anti-wrinkle cream isn't as effective as they claim. If you insist on wearing an anti-wrinkle cream, then get an oil free anti-wrinkle night moisturizer. I suggest Olay age defying night cream because it doesn't smell like an old lady.
      After showering in the morning and thoroughly cleaning your face, put on an all day facial moisturizer cream with SPF before you put on your make-up.
      When it comes to make-up, don't get the really thick stuff because even though it looks great when you put it on, it ends up enhancing the looks of your wrinkles.
      I hear the average age to start botox is 23 years old. These fine lines give you character, they don't make you look old. It's when you hit my age that some of these lines aren't so fine anymore. Drink water and take care of your skin. If you smoke, then all of this is pointless because you are prohibiting oxygen from reaching your skin cells. Hope this helped!

  20. QUESTION:
    should i tell my wife the truth?
    i heard if you put hemeroid cream under your eyes, it gets rid of dark circles and bags. well i have hemeroids and my wife has "undereye dark circle cream Q10+" (really expensive) so i figured it would work the other way round. i applied some cream to my hemeroids and put the cream back on the bathroom windowsil. she came up to me this morning and asked about a "mysterious brown smudge" on her applicator. I told her it was probably he foundation. i feel guilty. should I tell her? she's pretty much rubbing poo particles on her eyeballs

      "she's pretty much rubbing poo particles on her eyeballs"
      Maybe it is an improvement.

  21. QUESTION:
    I need a bit of help with dark circles underneath my eyes?
    Hi there, I'm just after some advice, and a little help!

    I'm a 24 year old girl with very pale fair skin and blue eyes. I should mention that I get around 10 hours of sleep each night, and I do drink a lot of water. My problem lies with the dark circles under my eyes, which are very noticeable.

    I've tried using cold water, eye masks and even ice, but none seem to help much. Currently I am using an Q10 underye cream by Nivia Visage to help reduce the dark circles, and also a concealer to help hide and brighten my undereye areas.

    However, I just can't seem to get rid of them! I anyone has any ideas, I'd welcome them gladly!

    Thankyou all very much for your time! :) xx

    • ANSWER:

  22. QUESTION:
    please help me with my wrinkles!?
    I am 29 years old and im living in UAE for three years now. i developed deep layered wrinkles around my eyes that whenever i smile or laugh it shows and really makes me embarrassed. I am only 29 and i know aging cannot be avoided but not this much. i tried several moisturizers but water really makes our skin drier here and they did not worked on my skin. now, i am using Nivea Q10 anti wrinkle cream for 2 weeks but i have not seen any good result yet, contrary to their promises that in less than a month there will be effects. Please let me know what creams to use and brands and what regimen should i follow, or any food that will really work. if you any creams, regimen or food that worked on you or friends and family members, please let me know...thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Save your money on all the creams and stuff. They don't work. It's all marketing. Eat good, take vitamins and STAY OUT OF THE SUN!.

Washington State Humane Society King County

Posted on October 30, 2011 by ecoadmin

The Freemasons will often boast of past historic members such as George Washington and Paul Revere just to name a few, that they were proud Freemasons. This boasting is as if because prominent men of society were members then the entire organization should be above question.

Some Freemasons will tell you in simplified terms that they are a group of closely-knit men that get together for fellowship both spiritually and intellectually. Now the real anti Freemasons view them in a much more devious light determined that they are out to take over the world.

It would seem that their beginnings are somewhat of a mystery in itself. Even the members themselves are often unclear as to the beginning, some will tell you different stories. Here are some of the explanations as to their roots that you may hear…

- they descended from the Druids of ancient times.
- they are affiliated with the Isis-Osiris cult that prevailed in ancient Egypt
- they were the Essenes, which was a group of Jewish Monks who bonded together around the 2nd century.
- then there are those that believe they go back as far as King Solomon’s temple built in Jerusalem 967BC. This is based on the Bible’s account of the temple being built by the stonemasons whose bond has carried on through the years to the now Freemasons.

This latter belief has a legend. It is said that an individual by the name of Hiram Abiff who had worked on King Solomon’s temple knew of the secret of the temple but refused to tell others. When he refused to disclose this secret, three other co-workers murdered him. It is said that King Solomon ordered his men to find Hiram’s body so the secret of the temple would be brought back. They were unable to find the body so the King established a new Masonic secret. It is believed that this secret was “Mahabone” meaning the Grand Lodge door opened. Now this is the password that those members of the third degree Masonry must use to gain entrance to the Lodge.

There have been factors to show that the Freemason have some type of connection with another group called the Knights Templar. Their history purports they armed themselves in 1118 Ad to protect Christians than were leaving Jaffa enroute to Jerusalem. As legend as it this Knights Templar discovered the most precious treasure ever know to humanity amongst the ruins of King Solomon’s temple. The Knights were now one very rich entity. King Philip IV of France in 1307 have all the Knights Templar arrested so he could take their treasure. Or so rumor has it.

No one knows for sure what happened to the Knights after this but some said they went into hiding and continued their meetings in secret. Eventually they came out of hiding with a new name reportedly to be the Freemasons. There is some speculation that this group had a hand in instigating the French Revolution as a means of revenge for what the French King did to them. This is a most intriguing story but there are other Masons who will paint a much more subtle picture concerning the rough masons of the 1700’s.

As the story goes, there were two types of mason the rough masons who did average work on ordinary stone, then the free masons who did intricate works of art on the softer stone. The Freemasons wanted to keep themselves segregated as an elite group from the rough masons so they devised a code amongst themselves using code words, handshakes and other secret forms of addressing one another.

The Freemasons have not always been a membership of all men. Actually, there were women members back in the 1700’s but they were tossed out because the men feared the women would take their attention. In addition, they didn’t think the women could keep their secrets.

Nivea For Men Eye Cream Q10 Review

Posted on October 30, 2011 by

Nivea Goodbye Cellulite Cream Reviews

Does Nivea cellulite cream work? Nivea has been in an industry leader for a while, and is pretty well-known for coming up with great products. That leaves the rest of us wondering whether or not their cellulite creams are just as good as all the others, if not better. Nivea is also on the high end when it comes to price tags, so is it really worth the try? Nivea Goodbye Cellulite Cream Reviews

Niveas cellulite creams, just like every other cellulite cream in the market, is not for everyone. If it were, then it would put all the other cellulite cream brands out of business! It may work for some people, but it may be ineffective for others. Chances are you won't know just how well it will work for you until you actually try it.

But if your current cellulite cream is not working and you are really considering trying Niveas products out, then it may help to actually check what makes their products different from everyone else. Then you will have a better idea of how their products really works.

Let us take Niveas Goodbye Cellulite cream as an example. The main difference Goodbye Cellulite cream has from other creams is that it contains L-Carnitine, a substance that's known to burn fat in the body. L-Carnitine is also found in certain fruit and energy drinks, whose main purpose is to boost the weight loss efforts of overweight individuals.

Nivea Goodbye Cellulite has L-Carnitine as an active ingredient, and it is absorbed by the skin in cellulite trouble spots. The substance then works on the underlying fat, melting it and making fat cells release their contents harmlessly into the body waste streams. Since L-Cartinine also helps convert fat into energy, do not be surprised if you feel preppier after a few weeks of use. Nivea Goodbye Cellulite Cream Reviews

But remember that most cellulite creams, Niveas included, are meant to be massaged onto trouble spots vigorously. Massage is an important part of any cellulite treatment regimen for several reasons -- it redistributes the fat underneath the skin, it stretches the skin itself, and overall makes the trouble spot look much less dimpled. Massage also generates heat, which tends to burn fat under the skin.

It is also important to remember that different cellulite creams may have different instructions for use from each other. Many cellulite sufferers claim certain creams do not work, when in fact they simply did not follow the instructions closely enough.

Nivea certainly knows how to market their products, but whether they will work for you largely depends on how you use them. As mentioned at the beginning of this article, it is doubtful that Nivea products are meant for everyone. But when you follow the instructions closely enough, and if you combine your cellulite treatment regimen with a good diet and enough exercise, you may be well on your way to becoming one of Nivea is very satisfied customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    New to all this make up stuff ... Tips on eye shadow?
    Ok, so I've decided I want to start playing around with make up more, particularly eye shadow. I've never been very girly (until recently I magically had some kind of personality shift and dyed my hair pink and started wearing dresses every day) so I know pretty much nothing beyond the basics; foundation, powder, concealer, eye liner and mascara. Eye shadow looks like a fun accessory and a great way to express yourself. I'm ready to start slapping crazy colors on my lids but I want to do it right and make it look good ....

    So, I'm here looking for some advice or tips on how to start out. I already know there are tons of tutorials on YouTube and I intend to watch them all. But I'm confused when it comes to what to buy :

    1.) What kinds of eye shadow should I get? The powdered kind or the cream kind?

    2.) What kinds of brushes do I need. The basics, not every single brush that does every single thing. I know there's so many kinds; primers, crease filler-inner thingies, etc. If someone could just let me know 3 or 4 basic types of brushes that are useful for standard techniques.

    3.) I have fair skin, brown eyes, and constantly changing hair color. What basic shades ( I don't intend to buy a damn 180 shade palette when I don't even know what I'm doing yet ) should I start out with? Neutrals? Metallics? Blues? Greens? Purples?????

    Please don't be vague and general and just say "cream shadow" or "MAC stuff is good". I would greatly appreciate detailed advice or suggestions : brand names, specific types of brushes, specific types of shadows. Remember, this is for someone just starting out with eye shadow. If someone could just give me a list of a few basics I should buy, that would be awesome.

    Thanks so much in advance! :)

    • ANSWER:
      Powder eyeshadow is the best to start with, it's easier to blend. The best way to make sure eyeshadow stays on all day is to start with an eyeshadow base. The two best are Urban Decay Primer Potion and Too Faced Shadow Insurance. Apply a thin layer of the primer first let dry and then apply eyeshadow.

      The main brushes you will need are (1) dense flat shader brush - to pack on more color (2) tapered crease brush - to blend (3) fluffy shader blush - for lighter deposits of color

      The 120 palette is actually a great starter buy. It has every color you can imagine so you can test out what you like and see what works best on you. It goes for about 20 bucks on ebay, you can't even buy 2 MAC eyeshadows with that. When you know what colors you like then you can invest in getting MAC versions (or whatever brand you like).

  3. QUESTION:
    Creams, make-up, lotions, hairstyles, nails. Help with it ALL?
    So I'm kinda just getting into looking after my skin more.
    And also trying different types of make-up and hairstyles.

    I'm a teenager, but I don't get spots.
    I was wondering if you had any reccomendations for creams/lotions to use on my face or body.
    Any hairstyles that work on people with thick hair.
    My hair isn't MAJORLY thick,,
    But it's more than medium thickness.
    It reaches my bra strap if that helps at all?

    There are specific types of make-up I want any help with.
    How to make my eyes misty?
    Like in adverts and stuff they have all the black eyeliner,,
    But not so much that you look gothic.
    It's just right and it looks nice.
    Another is a good foundation to use sometimes?
    Just to go out shopping or something.

    And party make-up?
    So the whole 'WHAM' effect.
    Which made me giggle too putting it like that.
    But I'm stuck at how else to describe it.

    How to give yourself a manicure and pedicure?
    I have quite long nails but they're not exactly strong?
    So any nail varnish to make them stronger?
    And anything to help with my nails.

    Any tips you have on any of these would be SO helpful.

    Thanks so much!
    x

    • ANSWER:
      Try sally hanson nail polish to make your finger nails strong, there is a whole range choose the one right for you.

      Buy rimmel london nail polish with the extra wide brush in a pale pink colour. It gives a flawless finish so quickly.

      Nails

      Apply Clear nail polish over this to make it extra shiny

      Usually I would use an extra thin brush to do french tips, but if you have an artist brush it will work just as well

      Make small upward stokes along the nail whites. If its patchy put another coat on.

      Then one more layer of clear and your set!!!

      Hair

      Sleek glamorous pony tails are really in. buy a nice black scrunchy - your set.

      Or go boho beach babe with untidy wavy hair, but you will need a curler idealy for this

      Or do two french plaits with the hair near your forhead (were the frindge would go) to the back and secure with an elastic band. It ends up like a plaited little pony-very elegant.

      Eyes
      by a natural range of eye shadow, i find boots natural collection affordable and very good for the price. chose the greys and blacks and blend together getting darker the closer to your lash line it is.

      I love avon eye make up its easy to use and the eyeliner is easy to appy thinly

      If you can't buy anything online, Bary M is my next choice is eye make up with vivid colours

      Foundation and skin lotions

      Try to stay away from applying too much foundation, it may cause skin to age prematurly
      however my fave is maybelline dreanm matte mouse.

      Nivea natural beauty is wonderful it evens out your complection and sofens skin

      Nivea happy time lotions are also good but my favourite body lotions are dove.

      The 'WHAM' affect (ooh it does make you giggle)

      Glitter!!! - don't rule it out for being babyish, when applyed in a classy way it looks beautiful.

      Eye glitter (benifit has some nice ones to chose from) apply thinly on the lash line over eye shadow but instead of eyeliner.

      Lip gloss is an essential - bright or shiny colours to contrast against your skin colour. again avon has some nice ones but rimmel london is my second choice.

      Curl the hair perhaps put in some gemstone grips to sparkle.
      Foundation and a small amount of blusher

      and your set :)

      i think that was everything?
      hope this helps :) )

  4. QUESTION:
    Under Eye Circles - Help Needed, No Bull?
    Hello fellows, I have been experiencing bags for quite some time now and never seem to get rid of them. I had them about a year or so and no it's not genetic. These bags are really bad (looks like I got punched in the eye or panda eyes) and sometimes it goes blackish red in the sun? - I wanna know how to get rid of them!

    Eversince I left my job, I haven't been going out in the day time... and always in my room on the computer.

    What I do on a daily basis:

    - I sleep late 4am wake up around 11:30am
    - I don't exercise, but I have started to work out - don't sweat as much but making yourself sweat etc help get rid of bags?
    - I kinda eat junk food
    - I drink a fair amount of water
    - Don't get much sun since I'm always in my room on the computer (I have tried staying away from the comp for 3 days, no progress in removing the bags)

    What I do to try get rid of my bags:

    - Creams
    - Cucumbers
    - Potato
    - Teabags
    - Spoons

    But all of those that doesn't work, I think it's just a myth...

    Can someone please tell me how to get rid of them? I'm only 18 years old male. These bags are horirble! Is there something I'm lacking? Or I just need to exercise and sweat more to get rid of my bags cause I haven't been exercising for a long time, but I still see no progress when I work out, do I need to sweat to get rid of bags? Or am I just too white and pale? If I make myself abit tan will it get rid of bags? Help! :(

    • ANSWER:
      I think you know that yourself that your sleeping habits, as well as spending too much time inside is doing you no good. Try and spend at least half an hour a day outside. Having a proper routine when it comes to sleeping would probably make a huge difference too. Plus, even if cucumbers and creams did make a difference, it would only be a short term solution, because you haven't fixed the underlying problem. I'm really trying not to sound cliche, but if you listen to your body, you might notice a change. You could also always go see your doctor, they usually know how to fix things like that. Hopefully the bags will disappear soon enough!

  5. QUESTION:
    Cost of Woman's Cosmetics and Make-up?
    Ladies I was curious what do you pay for your make-up and cosmetics? I think it's outrageous that cosmetic manufacturers charge so much and prey on the vanity of young woman to look beautiful and gorgeous. No, I am not doing this because I plan on using any of it, I am not a corss dresser, even though there's nothing wrong with that. I just want to know what do you pay for certain types of make-up you use everyday. Manufacturers names don't have to be listed unless you want to. Have you ever stopped an thought about what you pay each month or each year for your cosmetics? Noen of this information will be used for research or marketing just genral knowledge and curiousity.

    Please list the cost and how long does each product last you a month? a year? a week?
    Lipgloss-how many colors do you buy during the year and what is the price of each? Other lip products like lip pencils how many types, colors and prices of each.
    Blush/Fondation?Concealers? How many different types of each and what is the cost of each product?
    Eye Make-up-Eye liner- how many colors do you buy.price each color
    Eye shadow-how many different shades or all of these in one package? What is the cost of the kit(s)?
    Mascara-how many different colors, types, brands do you use?
    Other facial products, like cleansers, exfoliates, cost of each?

    Skin care-Body and Skin Mousitioners, Hand creams, foot creams-how many different types? Costs of each.
    Nail Care-How mnay nail polish colors do you won? what did you pay for each bottle and how long does it last?
    Other nail products-base coat, top coats, nail growth treatments.
    don't include visits to the nail salon, please.

    Hair care-not shampoo and conditioners but how many hair care products do you use? Moouses, Hot oil treatments, hair gel, hair sprays, etc. Please don't include hair dyes you do yourself, tinting, highlighting you do yourself. Unless you want to incldue these.

    I know what your thinking why does this man want to know about what a woman spends on herself to improve her face and skin with make-up? I just would like to know why are these cosmetics so expensive? What does the average woman spend a month or a year on cosmetics that men do not have to spend, the cost comparision I imagine is probably 10-1. And the cost to make the cosmetics cost the manufactuirer 1/10 th to make them and profit from them. Thank you for you time and patience.
    I apologize if my "preying on women's vanity" was takne negatively. It's just a quote from the book, "The Beauty Myth" by Naomi Wolf who beleives that some women's role model is a crdboard cutout from a women's magazine and buy cosmetics to create that image. I beleive many women buy cosmetics for fun and because it makes them feel good about themselves, thanks for correcting me on that and thanks for your response.
    Also, Violet-I can't understand why your husband would spend over 0-300 on X box games, probably the same reason as you do, "he finds its fun!"

    Thanks everyone for the response so far. I appreciate the results! xoxoxo

    May 21st and schools on the brink of ending. Were sittin’ outside the school just us to alone, just talkin’ bout our friendship and all of a sudden I feelin’ built up inside of me felt so good so I closed my eye’s and we started kissing. Later that night we called and shared our feelings about each other and realized that, it wasn’t’ just a kiss, we were meant to be. January 18th 2007 we are at her house, her folks left town so we have the house to our selves, we was watchin’ a movie, in the dark then one thing lead to another and she undid my pants and started suckin’ on me it felt so good but I didn’t have a condom, she said that it’s ok she has one so we, spent the night makin’ love. It was my first time she felt so good I can’t discribe. The next few weeks at school she was cryin’ and I ask “whats wrong baby?” turns out that she’s movin’ back to the Philippines and that der only a 40% chance she’s stayin’ what do I do?

  9. QUESTION:
    Do you think she likes me?
    I've liked my friend (girl) for a while, and I've been friends with her since the 7th grade, we are now both juniors. I feel like I started noticing that she might like me too couple of months ago. She's always smiling when she's around me, she has a beautiful smile, and I try to always make her laugh. The last day of school she came up to me and a group of my friends and her friends and she hugged everyone, but to me she said "I'm going to miss you" and she didn't say that to anyone else, just me.

    Later during the summer I was talking to her on facebook and somehow we got onto the topic about her hair and how she gets mad everytime someone says her hair is black, when it's actually brown... anyways during our conversation she said "by the way, you've gotten cuter since your hair turned brown." After that I told her that she was really pretty and she said "AWWW that's sooo sweet"...

    I was talking to her on facebook and we were talking about movies and she said that she was going to see a movie and I should come. After I said sure she told me that some of her other friends were coming and she asked me if that was okay, and of course I was fine with it. I don't know if that means anything but I decided to say it anyways. I also got a haircut and in one of ours classes she asked me if I had gotten it cut, and she was the only one of my friends who asked me. No one else noticed but her.

    --------------------------------------…
    Everything above happened a month ago..

    For the past 2 or 3 weeks we have started talking a lot more. We went to the movies with a couple of friends, even though i didnt get to sit with her in the movie.. afterwards we both somehow ended up in the back of the group behind everyone.. and we talked all the way to this ice cream shop, just the two of us.. I've also noticed that in class we make eye contact a lot... so we seem to obviously look at eachother a lot; however, i don't know if she does that with just me or everyone...

    So I was on facebook a couple of days ago and I was commenting on her picture. I said "You are soo pretty". Then she responded with "aw thanks! You are pretty too :) !"

    I've never been called pretty by a girl. I've been called cute and hot but not pretty, and honestly I don't think I've ever seen a girl call a boy pretty.

    --------------------------------------…

    Yesterday I went to see Harry Potter with her and some of her friends. We got into the movie theater and we had terrible seats.. there were 4 seats and there were 4 of us. We were walking in a line and I was in the back and she was in the front, so I didn't think I was going to get to sit with her. She stopped at the 3rd seat and said "hey James come sit over here" and soo I did obviously. I wasn't really sure what to do as far as breaking the "touch barrier" so I kind of moved my arm on to the arm rest so I was barly touching her arm and I know she felt it and she didn't really move, but that probably doesn't mean anything.

    --------------------------------------…
    12/3/10
    Tonight I went with her to go see a friend in the nutcracker and for the first time it was just me and her. It was a ton of fun, we laughed a bunch, and yeah. I don't know if I made any progress other than getting to know her a little better and spending 3ish hours with her.

    I was eating lunch at school with my friends. One of my guy friends tried to get me 2 ask two of my girl friends what the girl I liked thought about me. I wouldn’t do it so my friend to the initiative to do it himself. He ask them and they said “about that. I don’t know what we can tell you.” The two girls proceeded to have a 3 minute private conversation and then when they were finished they said “I think you should ask her yourself.” I think that is a good sign because why would they have had the private conversation if she didn’t like me or have feelings for me? The only problem is me and the girl I like haven’t talked all week and this happened Wednesday.

    I really don't know what to do, I haven't really broken the "touch barrier" and don't really know how to go about this considering she's not a clingy touchy feely type of girl. When we talk to eachother she looks straight at my face and maybe in my eyes. My friends tell me to go for it and ask her out, but I'm afraid of making our friendship awkward. People tell me that if I really like her that I should look past our friendship to a relationship, but I'm scared of screwing up. Like I said, this has happened to me before, and it took several months before our friendship was back to normal, and if I can avoid it I'd really like to not experience that again.. I'm not trying to come off as some pathetic boy, but this is definitely har

    • ANSWER:
      she definatley likes you! if you think that you will eventually ask her out, then why not do it now?
      just tell her how you feel, tell her you dont want it to be awkward but you like her and was wondering if she likes you too. that you would like to spend more time alone with her, not necessarily date, but just try it out. chances are shes been waiting for you to say something. just take a chance, and if she doesnt like you like that then you are still friends.good luck!!

    • ANSWER:

  11. QUESTION:
    Its ma life? - oh ye?
    My mum is shouting at me, and I am ignoring her because its my life. I dont notice this

    Sahih Muslims Book 032, Number 6180:
    Abu Huraira reported that a person came to Allah, 's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: Who among the people is most deserving of a fine treatment from my hand? He said: Your mother. He again said: Then who (is the next one)? He said: Again it is your mother (who deserves the best treatment from you). He said: Then who (is the next one)? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Again, it is your mother. He (again) said: Then who? Thereupon he said: Then it is your father. In the hadith transmitted on the authority of Qutalba, there is no mention of the word" the people".

    "Jannah lies under the feet of the mother"

    "I dont wanna obey ma motha, because its ma life?" look whos talking. We dont know that allah (swt) sent us to this planet earth, he gave us the soul, without soul the person will be dead. But "its ma life ye"

    'Surely we belong to Allah and to Him shall we return'." Sura Al-Baqara, Verse 156

    We dont notice that we will be questioned about this on the day of qiyamah, we dont notice how rought the time will be? The day will be really hot that people will be drain in their own sweat.

    some will be submerged in sweat 'seventy arm-lengths in the earth.' Narrated by Abu Hurairah and collected in Saheeh al-Bukhari (eng. trans.) vol.8, p.353, no.539) and Muslim (eng. trans.) vol.4, p.l487, no.6851

    Sweat will accumulate deep into the ground and swell above it reaching higher than peoples’ necks – were boats to be introduced, they would sail – people getting submerged in their own sweat - and hearts will rise up to the throats with fear.

    It'll be a good excerise wouldn't it? we run daily to lose as much sweat as we can, but think of "seventy arms-length in earth" hmm thats alot, think how hot will be the day? we wouldn't have sun cream to protect our skin , sun glasses to protect our eyes, hat to protect our head. But the pious will have the shade of allah (swt)!

    We are indulging in bad act, but when dad or mother comes, we change it and act good. But dont you know someone else is also watching you? and how will you act if you stand infront of allah (swt), and every creation of allah (swt) will be looking at your trial, right now if you do a presentation in a small group, you will be sweating like mad right? but what about standing infront of all the creation? hows that gonna be.

    Now I am bored of my life, and I want to end it, I go and do suicide. Dont he knows that he will be jumping in the hellfire for eternity. Success and peace is in the hands of allah (swt), thinking it to be your life wouldn't make it easier, but harder. When allah (swt) calls the people to pray, he also says "come to success" that clearly shows that there is success hiding in salah. So whats the point of going around the world to ask others to make yourself happy when there is a masjid nearby to pray and make yourself in peace and happy.

    Salah comes after shahadah, when the person recites the kalimah and becomes muslim the 'first" thing that becomes fardh on you is salah

    "Oh.. didn't I forget its ma life?"

    What do you guys think, same "its ma life?" or you fight the shaytan?

    salam...

    • ANSWER:
      I would've crossed the rainbow bridge by now if suicide wasn't haram

  12. QUESTION:
    How Do You Like My Writing (Working on a Teen/Adult Novel)?
    I was eight years old. Old enough to understand yet young enough to be a little confused. My mom threw card parties every Saturday. That meant grown ups, liquor, gambling and even drugs. I witnessed so much at that tender age. I also believe that’s when I experienced my first sexual assault. I never told anyone about this because maybe it was an accident. I remember like it was yesterday. My mom’s boyfriend was sitting in the old brown recliner chair. He told me to fetch him a beer. I did opening the bottle with the bottle opener. I had learned from watching my mother daily to open beer, wine bottles and champagne.
    “Come here and tell me about school” he patted his knee.
    I didn’t hesitate to sit on his lap.
    Immediately he pulled me further up his thigh and held me tight.
    “We’re learning multiplication, I love Math and my teacher says I’m the top Math sudent in my clas” I smiled proudly.
    “Oh that’s great” he said gripping my little thighs. I remember the polka dot red and black dress that I was wearing til this day.
    “Go on” he said squirming in the recliner.
    I felt something against my rear and immediately knew something wasn’t right. He was grinding himself on me.
    “Lauren!”
    My mother called my name. Jim quickly pushed me off of his lap.
    “It’s about your bed time “she said.
    I nodded quickly running off to my room.
    That night I stayed up thinking about what Jim did. I was frightened and confused. Luckily my mom and Jim went their separate ways weeks later. I just put what happened to the back of my mind and tried not to think about it.

    I was thirteen when i had another sexual encounter. I liked him very much but it was moreso how he made me feel physically. His name was Antonio. He was eighteen and lived nearby. I thought he was cute and had an innocent crush on him. It was raining really hard and I was out of an umbrella. Antonio happened to be driving in the direction where I was walking and offered me a ride. I happily agreed getting in his vehicle. His car smelled like marijuana. I looked in the ash tray where there was a long rolled blunt filled with a substance. Identical to the one behind his ear.
    “Where are you going ?” he asked.
    “Home” I stated shyly.
    “What time do you have to be home?”
    “Before it gets late” I replied. I was sure that my mom wasn’t home. It was Thursday which meant Bingo and gambling.
    “Would it be okay If I stop by my house before I take you home”
    “Sure” I said.
    We pulled up to a set of apartments. The neighborhood wasn’t a good one. There were cars in the lot with no tires, trash everywhere but in the dumpsters and people outside drinking and smoking.
    “I think you should come inside with me” he stated.
    His eyes roamed my body and he stared at me intensely.
    “Ok” I agreed. There was no way I was staying in that car alone.
    I followed as he led me to a building that looked abandoned yet there were residents. Him being one of them. The hallways wreaked of urine, liquor and marijuana.
    He placed his key in the door and opened it. I was surprised to see a luxurious apartment. Cream leather sofa, expensive entertainment system, and a mini bar.
    “Have a seat and make yourself comfortable” he said.
    He used the remote to turn on the big screen television and went over to the bar taking two glasses from the cabinet. He popped open a bottle of Moet champagne and filled the two glasses.
    “Oh I don’t drink” I said.
    He didn’t respond he just came over placing the glasses in front of me on the living room table.
    “Just a little won’t hurt, trust me you’ll like it’ .
    He was definitely a charmer. His looks alone would have a girl smitten. His hair was cut low but curly, his eyes where chinky and his skin was like honey. I’d come to learn that his eyes were always low because he was mostly high and seemed really relaxed. I drank the glass of wine and he was right I felt calm and good. He filled my glass again and this time I drank quickly.
    He laughed and filled it another time. Suddenly he began kissing me, It was my first kiss and it felt great. He began taking my clothes off and I did not stop him.
    "Are you a virgin?" he asked.
    "Yes and I'm thirteen" I slurred my words.
    "I didn't know you were that young" he said as if he were in deep thought.
    Momments later he continued what he had started.
    "This is gonna hurt a little" he told me.
    "Aren't you supposed to wear a condom?"
    "No you're a virigin so you don't have any diseases just like I like it" he replied.
    He got on top of me and spread my legs apart.

      You can definitely write, but just reading this passage makes me feel like I'm reading porn or something. But I'm sure there's more to the book. In my opinion it's more of a adult novel than a YA novel. But great start!!

  13. QUESTION:
    I'm 16 years old, and my mum is extremely angry and disappointed in me, simply because i dyed my hair?
    I'm 16 years old, 17 in 2 months, and whilst I'm out one evening my mum goes through my cupboard. She finds a permanent box of hair dye. My 14 year old daughter, is the 'chavy' one in the family. She's always out, she drinks, she's even come home paralytic, smokes, hangs out with 'chavy' girls and boys who some of them do weed, she wears loads of orange foundation, eye make-up, chavy clothes, big gold eye rings, swears and has arguments with mum and dad constantly, plucks her eyebrows until there nearly gone and wears push up bras and has already slept with 2 guys, so yeah you get the idea, and she has dyed her hair a few times and my mum has never approved, so when she found the box in my room she called me a 'chav', even through the colour was 1 shade lighter than my natural colour and i didn't even dye the whole of my hair. So when i got home that evening, my dad picked me up and in the car he said to me, mum is very angry with me and that i've taken some of HER hair dye and hair straightening cream he says nothing else on the journey home. When i get in, she says to me, 'so have you got something to say' so i say 'no', she then says 'i'm very angry india, you've gone and taken my things and dyed you're hair!' and goes on and on about it, so then i say 'firstly i bought that hair dye, secondly you let me use that straightening hair cream over a year ago and thirdly I'm 16 years old now, i am more than old enough to at least dye my hair and after i had dyed it you even you said how nice my hair looked' (the colour is so near to my natural colour she didn't even notice i'd dyed my hair! )btw what I just said to her is 100% true. She then says 'i'm angry india, when you get regrowth it will look terrible and chavy, you're a chav, you cannot say you're sister is a chav!' - the whole family tease my sister for being a 'chav'. Although i have dyed my hair, the clothes i wear are not in the slightest way 'chavy', i don't pluck my eyebrows, i don't smoke, i don't wear push-up bras, i don't hang out with 'chavy people', and I hardly wear any make-up, just mascara and sometimes some concealer and i speak with good english and i don't swear. However my mum dyes her hair atleast once a month to cover her regrowth, yet she's now having a go at me for dyeing my hair? My family go my grandparents - my mums mum and dad every weekend and she will have told them by then so they'll bring it up then my mum will go on about how disappointed she is about me, so i need a few good points to make at the table when she brings it up, so my mum sees that i am in right and she is infact in the wrong. I already have a few points to make - here are a few; 1. I am 16 year's old, and in a year and a couple of moths I'll be an adult 2. Dyeing hair is not against the law 3. There are no age restrictions on dyeing hair' 4.Dyeing hair, especially a natural colour, that is one tone lighter than you're natural hair does not in any way associate me with the 'chav' stereotype 5. You've (my mum) dyed you're hair many more times than i have, which is not just calling yourself a chav, but actually calling yourself even more of a chav than me and mel (my sister) put together, simply because I've dyed my hair, which is actually lame, and a pathetic reason to get wound up and get 'angry' at me. 6. Going through my things is not the right thing to do, and just by doing that you are in the wrong. You are also a bad influence, however i'd never be influenced my you, because i'd never go down to you're level. If you have any more reasons/points or if you would like to change something about the points I've made then please feel free too. Thank you

    • ANSWER:
      I think you've got a pretty good argument.

      I don't understand you're mum's point really. She can't dye her hair and then say you can't. She can't use the excuse that your too young because you're not. To be honest, you seem pretty mature enough to know what not to do. After, pointing out all the stuff that's wrong with your sister I think we can safely say you know what a chav is and that you don't want to follow that route.

      The chav statement made me laugh. REALLY childish response. In all honesty, calling you a chav makes it look like she ran out of arguments. I don't see what her problem is other than she's worried about your sister and wants to control you so you don't become the same. (Just my opinion though). It's so wrong to stereotype people but coming from an adult it's even more wrong. And yeah, she basically labelled herself a chav in the process.

      All I can add to your list of points is "Just be thankful I'm not hanging around street corners, taking/smoking drugs, drinking, having sex with random people, dressing in skimpy clothes, or wear so much make up that it looks like one of my parents must have been a Wotsit."

  16. QUESTION:
    How to apply eyeshadow/tips/basics ?
    Sorry for the repost but I only received one decent answer last time I posted this:

    Ok, so I've decided I want to start playing around with make up more, particularly eye shadow. I've never been very girly (until recently I magically had some kind of personality shift and dyed my hair pink and started wearing dresses every day) so I know pretty much nothing beyond the basics; foundation, powder, concealer, eye liner and mascara. Eye shadow looks like a fun accessory and a great way to express yourself. I'm ready to start slapping crazy colors on my lids but I want to do it right and make it look good ....

    So, I'm here looking for some advice or tips on how to start out. I already know there are tons of tutorials on YouTube and I intend to watch them all. But I'm confused when it comes to what to buy :

    1.) What kinds of eye shadow should I get? The powdered kind or the cream kind?

    2.) What kinds of brushes do I need. The basics, not every single brush that does every single thing. I know there's so many kinds; primers, crease filler-inner thingies, etc. If someone could just let me know 3 or 4 basic types of brushes that are useful for standard techniques.

    3.) I have fair skin, brown eyes, and constantly changing hair color. What basic shades ( I don't intend to buy a damn 180 shade palette when I don't even know what I'm doing yet ) should I start out with? Neutrals? Metallics? Blues? Greens? Purples?????

    Please don't be vague and general and just say "cream shadow" or "MAC stuff is good". I would greatly appreciate detailed advice or suggestions : brand names, specific types of brushes, specific types of shadows. Remember, this is for someone just starting out with eye shadow. If someone could just give me a list of a few basics I should buy, that would be awesome.

    Thanks so much in advance! :)

    • ANSWER:
      Just like you, i started not knowing anything about makeup to knowing quite a bit about makeup so i hope that you find this answer hopefully and i hope that it helps!

      1) Starting with eyeshadows, i tell everyone that you start with powder shadow since it is the most common and popular. No matter what color your eyes are you should always start out with neutrals and browns as they look good on everybody, these colors not only do they look good on everybody but they are so universal. For neutrals and browns, you can wear it as a wash of color as in going to shopping to wearing it more smokier like a night out with your girlfriends. So my safe bet is to get neutrals and browns. I'm going to give a few neutrals and brown eyeshadows (they are all MAC) but once you get the idea of it you can definitely get dupes of the colors since a lot of the colors from mac are dupable

      Neutrals:
      All that glitters- One of my favorite color i use it so often! It's a shimmery beige color with gold pearl in it

      Naked lunch - I literally use it everyday no joke. It has very light shimmer in it, it's a light pink with shimmer in it love it~

      (Those are the two neutrals i would recommend you to get, they are all from mac and they cost 14.50 for the pan and 11 dollars for the refill ones but you need to purchase the palette if you are going to buy refills)

      Browns:

      Satin Taupe - This is a favorite to many, this is by far my favorite brown since you can wear it during the day and night. This is a taupe color with silver shimmer in it, it's amazing!

      Mulch - This is a shimmering brown more like bronze brown but more bronze, it looks really good for brown eyes!

      Espresso, Wedge (These shadows have a matte finish in them which means that they dont contain any shimmer at all, espresso is just a darker version of wedge. This is a must have one of the other since this is great for the crease!)

      (So these are just some of my suggestions, you really should go check it out by yourself and swatch the colors)

      Because you are just starting out of makeup, i really don't recommend you to get cream shadows since i dont find them any help.

      *NOTE THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: YOU MUST GET A EYE PRIMER. WHAT A EYE PRIMER DOES IS THAT IT WONT MAKE YOUR EYESHADOW MOVE OR DISAPPEAR COLOR. Either get urban decay primer potion or get two faced shadow insurance they are both 17 dollars so just pick either one. If you have oily lids then go for urban decay. But you MUST MUST MUST get a primer, you have to!

      Also i really do recommend you to purchase one of those 88 matte palette or shimmer palette from ebay or coastalscent. Coastalscent is a lot more expensive and ebay is cheaper they are the same thing just depends on which one you prefer. Since you don't know what colors you want to start with why not ge the 88 matte palette or shimmer? Since you can do a lot with them, it has browns, neutrals, greens, all the colors you can think of! And it's so cheap on ebay it's only around 10 dollars and on coastalscent it's around 19 dollars.

      For brushes, i think that brushes are definitely essential both face and eyes specifically eyes i think. Here are my recommendation for brushes again they are mac but if i can think of some dupes for mac brushes i'm going to state it.

      239 brush - This is the most basic brush that everyone needs, it has the perfect amount of bristles on it to pack enough eyeshadow to your lid, it's not too big it's the perfect size! you can do so much with this brush like you can use it for highlight, putting color on your crease, on your waterline etc. This is around 22 dollars if i'm not mistaken.
      There is a dupe for this brush and it's called the Lowe Cornell Maxine mop 3/8 inch. You can find this brush in michaels and it's very cheap it's less than 3 dollars i think

      217 crease brush - This brush is a must have, you can do so much with it. So multi-purpose. Specifically i use this brush to put color on my crease since it's the perfect size and it fits perfectly! This brush can also be used as a blending brush, a highlight brush and a brush to pack color on your lids

      224 blending brush - Everyone needs a blending brush no matter what, This brush is amazing for just blending out color, this brush can also be used as a light wash of color on your lids.

      (To be honest, these are the 3 brushes that i think are the most useful and really all you need however obviously once you get into it, you can get more brushes but for now these 3 does the job)
      If you think that mac brushes are expensive, you can check out www.coastalscents.com brushes, they are very cheap and amazing quality! you really should go check it out!

      A lot of brands make good brushes for example sonia kashuk, beauty of essence which can be purchase in ulta i think and etc

      A general rule of thumb is that mainly you work from light color to dark so a lighter shade on your lid and a darker shade on your crease.

  17. QUESTION:
    What do you think of this poem about life as we see it?
    1st poem...Brightness lets in of the windows.
    I awake to see the sun.
    I live for what my earth gives me.
    No one notices how the earth gets its power.

    So many of you look by and dislike.
    As the earth will bring you to much joy.

    Life was made by your god and goddess.
    Your fairies look after you.

    Follow me as I walk closer to the edge
    We can do it together forever without no power to dread.
    Mark me as if I stand right by you,
    For there we can see There is no shinging moon.
    Why did we have to bring the trees to life?

    The earth stops moving as we look into eachothers eyes smiling
    At Everyone who passes by.
    The Apple and oak Sung lightley as the moon came up and the sun went
    Down.
    It gets harder too rest as they slowley stop.
    Moving there for I only see you for me to be inlove with you.

    Where do i go now?

    You can not seek for that i want to be.
    There for nomore i can't seek you too the end of the tree.
    Leaving me Behind We will bring the world at peace.
    By all of our love we stop breathing as one can stop seeing.

    Gerry Kennedy: Dear Holly, I don't have much time. I don't mean literally, I mean you're out buying ice cream and you'll be home soon. But I have a feeling this is the last letter, because there is only one thing left to tell you. It isn't to go down memory lane or make you buy a lamp, you can take care of yourself without any help from me. It's to tell you how much you move me, how you changed me. You made me a man, by loving me Holly. And for that, I am eternally grateful... literally. If you can promise me anything, promise me that whenever you're sad, or unsure, or you lose complete faith, that you'll try to see yourself through my eyes. Thank you for the honor of being my wife. I'm a man with no regrets. How lucky am I. You made my life, Holly. But I'm just one chapter in yours. There'll be more. I promise. So here it comes, the big one. Don't be afraid to fall in love again. Watch out for that signal, when life as you know it ends. P.S. I will always love you.

    I noticed douglas b answered this but can you tell me if thesr are done stood up and is tje arm taken away from shoulder when going forward., please help need advise

    From what I understand about Meralgia Paresthetica it may get helped by doing this release of muscles which might release part or all of the pain:

    Back:

    Place your left hand on your left knee. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and with your fingertips find the muscle next to your spine. Press on it and hold. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After about 30 seconds there should be a release happening and when it does slowly lower yourself forward onto your right leg. If you can lean over the outside edge of your leg it will be better for your release. Continue holding for a total of one minute. Then release but rest your body there for one minute longer. Then reverse and do the right side. By douglas b

    HELPPPPPPPPP!

    • ANSWER:
      Cold teabags and cucumber work well for the eye area, just place them over closed eyes. for your face you can make scrubs out these ingredients: honey, sugar,avocado, banana, oatmeal, yogurt. you can aslo use egg white, just put it on your face and let it dry, then wash it off. ( you can also use olive oil if you have dry skin) These will help to exfoliate and clean and moisturize your face to keep it fresh. Dark circles under the eye can either be from allergies or hereditary. there isn't much you can do about these naturally except make sure you get enough sleep. Also if you have acne eating lots of sugar and dairy products are not good!

      Hope this helps!!

  21. QUESTION:
    R&P: Remember the Rollins Interview I Promised?
    I want to thank those who participated in providing question suggestions the last time I posted my Henry Rollins question. Even though I extended it as long as i could, I decided it was unfair to pick a "best answer" since you all were awesome in providing questions.

    So, here I am posting a raw transcript of my interview with Henry Rollins which is yet to be pulished in a couple of weeks. If you see your question answered, pat yourself on the back :)

    Interview with Henry Rollins: February 2, 3:42 p.m. Mountain Time

    Q: Lenny Bruce, Brother Theodore, George Carlin: Did any of these outspoken performers play any influential role in your spoken-word technique or philosphy?
    A: Bruce and Carlin certainly have given me a lot of courage. When you consider what Bruce got shut down for, he is a true child of the First Ammendment. Carlin made me understand the power of words and I always admired how long he stayed working. I know that I will have not nearly the span of Carlin but people like him, Lenny Bruce and Brother Theodore are so rare.

    Q: At what age did you discover your "wayward/insubordinate" self? When did you probably start questioning authoritative society (e.g. Orwell's "Animal Farm" is what did it for me in fifth grade) ...
    A: The aforementioned as well as The Clash, The Sex Pistols and my friend Ian MacKaye made me see things differently. I guess all of that started happening in my early teen years.

    Q: Do you think Pop Culture has dumbed down our nation?
    A: If it has, it can't be a new phenomenon. Pop music has been with us for decades. I think that corporate media has done Americans a great disservice in that they have deprived America with any consistent degree of transparency. I think we are not as religiously fundamental as other nations in spite of all the attempts to make us so.

    Q: It's every liberal's dream to tell Ann Coulter to "shut the fuck up". I recall once, in your "Letters From Henry" portion of The Henry Rollins show, you directed a letter to her; how gratifying was that? Ever get a response?
    A: It didn't do anything for me, really. Ms. Coulter is just a professional wrestler who has not nearly the fan base that many would think. I have never heard from her. I think at one point, Fox News barked at me but no one really watches Fox.

    Q: I have heard stories that you and Ian MacKaye met while working at a Hagen Daaz? Is this true? If so, how old were you both? What's one of the earliest memories that crosses your mind?
    A: I met Ian behind his mother's house while riding my bike. This was many years before I was working at the ice cream place. I have known Ian since I was about 12 or 13. I am 49 now. Ian is the first person of my age group that had his own opinion that I was aware of. I was nothing like that.

    Q: You are both credited with sparking the "straight edge" movement, so how did you feel about singing songs like "Six Pack" and "TV Party" during your time in Black Flag, even though you don't drink alcohol or engage in that sort of behavior?"
    A: I had nothing to do with straight edge really. The songs you mention are parodies as the lyrics make obviously clear.

    Q: "Eye Scream" was probably my favorite of the books that I've read, that you wrote. There was something very "beat". Did any of the City Lights Books roster of writers influence you?
    A: I tried to read Burroughs and could never complete a book. The Beats never grabbed me besides Ginsberg's Howl, which I thought was incredible. The thing I wrote in Eye Scream called Everything, is a tribute to Howl.

    Q: Being a publisher yourself, have you ever had the chance to get to know Lawrence Ferlinghetti?
    A: No.

    Q: Jello Biafra, even Hunter S. Thompson, who followed a somewhat punk ethic, attempted politics. Is it within the realm of possibility for you to ever consider, maybe down the line, running for some sort of office to change things directly (or would that go against the grain of what you stand for?)
    A: I have not the intellect or stamina to get any traction in that arena. I like being a private citizen, it gives me a lot of lattitude.

    Q: When you played the role of AJ Weston in the FX television series "Sons of Anarchy", did you have to "empathize" to a certain degree with the white supremist's character to play the part convincingly? Did it ever disgust you?
    A: No. It's just work and I do it the best I can. I know that I am acting and that at the end of the day, I get in my car and leave the set.

    Q: Do you mind getting killed off in most of the movie roles you do? Any upcoming movie roles?
    A: I don't mind at all. I am grateful for the work. I work for a living. I am not an artist.

    Q: Details magazine named you Man of the Year in 1994. Did you hesitate to accept this title? Or was it an honor?
    A: It wasn't a title they give out yearly, it was just something they put on the cover. I was happy for the coverage and hoped it would help my band.
    holy crap! haha. it's only a matter of time before its pulled .... forgot about the Ann Coulter expletive LOL

    Thanks everyone for your input
    Hey Shades, maybe we ought to re-post this on R&S, and we'll get some foaming-a-the-mouth responses over his Fox News remark. LOL

  26. QUESTION:
    What do you think of this brief note to myself?
    As I walked by, I took a good look at the worn brick building. I looked at the tree, the only one, and as the wind flew through my hair and made my eyes water, I knew it was the last December 15, 2008.

    December 16, 2008: I squeezed face wash onto my hand and adjusted the water temperature to a comfortable hot as I rubbed the cream into a soapy spread. It was also the last time.

    The fact is, life is always creeping by. Everyday is our last day. What I wrote above is nothing out of the ordinary. As a matter of fact, walking through the courtyard and washing my face occurs numerous times in one day. And that's exactly it. These are the moments -- how we spend our time. They are necessary, mandatory "chores" that must be done, or else we can't really expect anything further. Glazing over them, we learn to take them for granted.

    However, bit by bit, take into consideration the daily washing of your face, fixing your hair, preparing yourself to go out, waiting on line, and even making a regretful decision about having a snack that you should not, may slowly make up life. It's as if life were a beaded necklace, and as we string together the beads that make it up, each little factor in our life is one bead. Surely, one bead does not make the necklace, but all in all, when the necklace is finished and the day ends, one "bead" has left a kind of impression.

    • ANSWER:
      your made this up? Pretty strong stuff for just " a 17 year old girl" or w.e, i liked it though made sense to me aswell.

  27. QUESTION:
    And those people with no kids think THEY are the lucky ones? Check out what parents get!?
    The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with 0,140 for a middle income family. Talk about sticker shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition.

    But 0,140 isn't so bad if you break it down.
    It translates into:

    * ,896.66 a year,
    * 1.38 a month, or
    * 1.08 a week.
    * That's a mere .24 a day!
    * Just over a dollar an hour.
    Still, you might think the best financial advice is don't have children if you want to be "rich." Actually, it is just the opposite.

    What do you get for your 0,140?

    * Naming rights. First, middle, and last!
    * Glimpses of God every day.
    * Giggles under the covers every night.
    * More love than your heart can hold.
    * Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.
    * Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
    * A hand to hold, usually covered with jelly or chocolate.
    * A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites
    * Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day.

    For 0,140, you never have to grow up.
    You get to:
    * finger-paint,
    * carve pumpkins,
    * play hide-and-seek,
    * catch lightning bugs, and
    * never stop believing in Santa Claus.

    You have an excuse to:
    * keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh,
    * keep watching Saturday morning cartoons,
    * keep going to Disney movies, and
    * keep wishing on stars.

    * You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, make hand prints set in clay or cards with backward letters for Father's Day and Mother's Day.

    For 0,140, there is no greater bang for your buck.

    You get to be a hero just for:
    * retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof,
    * taking the training wheels off a bike,
    * removing a splinter,
    * filling a wading pool,
    * coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs,
    *and coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.

    You get a front row seat to history to witness the:
    * first step,
    * first word,
    * first bra,
    * first date, and
    * first time behind the wheel.

    You get to be immortal.

    You get another branch added to your family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren and great grandchildren.

    You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match.

    In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God. You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits.

    So one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost.
    That is quite a deal for the price!!!!!!!

    May you always love & enjoy your children & grandchildren!!!!!!!

  28. QUESTION:
    I need makeover help ?
    This is going to be a long question. :)
    Well school starts in about 3 or 4 weeks. I guess I'm pretty, but I'm tired of being known as the "cute one" to all of my friends. I want to look prettier, hotter, and more mature. I also want to look like a girl guys stop and stare at. But I don't want to lose myself!!
    I'm going into high school.
    I'm maybe 4'11". Pretty short. I have medium skin that tans to a dark walnut in the summer. I have almond shaped dark brown eyes, and dark brown hair. I'm really thin, and people make fun of me for it and being short. I have a small amount of really long (overgrown) layers, and overgrown sidebangs.
    My style is like a t-shirt, jeans, polos, sneakers kind. Really casual.
    I have a bunch of questions, for different categories.

    HAIR
    1) Should I cut my hair like this (having a heart-shaped face?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiHL3WkYECc
    2) Does giving yourself natural highlights with apple cider vinegar (1 cup water, 1 cup ACV) actually work? I'm tempted to try, because my mom doesn't want me to go to a salon for highlights and she won't let me buy a kit.
    3) How could I fix my hair like this?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnZ3USvpWN0
    I actually have no curling iron, but if I wanted my hair curly I usually use braids and sleep in them overnight. I also own a hair dry (but no straightener). Do I just have to make really loose braids to get the waves?
    4) Is there a way to make your hair grow a little faster? I want it to be a little longer before it gets cut.

    • ANSWER:
      hair:

      u need to highlight to get that look vinegar wont work. You can go to beauty salon get color highlights with high lift tint. High lift tint is a color and little amounts of bleach its less harsh and less blond if you want

      http://colorbymia.com/yahoo_site_admin/a…

      braided hair will work with waves but it looks more of the messy ubed head look. If you want ringlet waves you have to set hair after wash with mouse than curl with medium iron

      curled waves:
      http://celebhairstyle.files.wordpress.co…

      braided waves:
      http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/2…

      prettiest cuts are with layers. Layer layer and face frame the front. If do bangs do the angle ones.

      skin:
      cleanse, tone, moisturize, twice a day. exfoliate once a week, cucumber for bags, AVEENO good products. I liked Proactive for zits it took a few months to work but it did

      fashion:

      a good pare of jeans
      ballet flats
      converse for sneakers
      leggings with skirts
      find outfits that you can mix and match with others
      tote bag cuter than backpack

      makeup:
      vaseline will look dewy but no length, metal eye curler not plastic will work, I love the Mabelline classic pink and green mascara works well

      school:
      im a college student 3.8 my step daughter high school is in Bacholorate program and was in GATE.. DO THE ASSIGNMENTS IMMEDIATELY. If you have more than one do the one that's due first. Find how you retain information better and work with that. For example if you are an auditory learner bring tape recorders to school, if you are visual take notes then when you study write of flash cards and have someone quiz you.
      Listen always take notes, study, organize folder, and practice the SAT its important for college. You can find SAT practice test on amazon and its written by the College Board that administers the tests.

      also get organized: put tabs and separate your classes by categories in y our folder. Keep track of assignments

      personality:

      The best advice is the simpliest: Be yourself

      Who is that self?
      This is what you need to find out. The teen who self reflects the most and finds out what he or she wants in life and who she is is the most confident adult. Make goals, what you do in this life as a career doesnt define who you are. Find what you love. What makes you, you.

      Rise above peer pressure or mean people. Make your own decisions and make them so you dont regret what you did later on in life.

      Be nice be you and smile. If someone is mean let them go, move on, and they dont deserve you.

      Learn to use manners so few women act like ladies anymore

    1. Are you influenced by how much you've seen a character is portrayed in the anime or manga?

    2. Does watching anime or reading manga had made you create a strange habit?

    3. Not a related anime question, but what dog species can you relate yourself to? (Me, a German shepard X3)

    Well, that' s it. Bye bye!

    Star!

    • ANSWER:
      1. Are you influenced by how much you've seen a character is portrayed in the anime or manga?

      yeah,
      It kinda affects my personality
      whenever I watched gintama I'd feel soooo lazy and barely do anything-- I never got motivated-- or when I wached naruto I started to become more blunt and straightforward ( now that i typed it i sound lame)

      2. Does watching anime or reading manga had made you create a strange habit?
      I started using their expression after watching sooo many subbed anime I rarely say "ow" anymore (intead it's ite) and sometimes I even curse in japanese (even the words aren't considered curse words)

      3. Not a related anime question, but what dog species can you relate yourself to? (Me, a German shepard X3)

      Me: Airdale Terrior

      o_O GERMAN SHEPARDS ARE HUGEEEE!!!!

      Maka from soul eater (I wanna sythe >.<)

      Youhei Sunohara from clannad-- crap or tamaki from ouran high school (v__v which one???)

      8. Not related to anime: do you have exactly 200 contacts?
      less than 10 *sniff*

      9. What would the anime be like without music backgrounds?

      it wouldn't be as scary or funny cuz music kinda gives you a mood or feeling for the moment in the anime --but manga is still awesome!!!

      10. I have asked this plenty of times, but I haven't earned enough answers for it because my questions end up being on the bottom of the pile in an hour. Which anime world could you visualize yourself in?

      Azumanga Daioh cuz I can't vizualize me being in any anime w/ super powers i wouldn't feel like I would fit (even though i would be freakin' awesome ^_______^) I can just picture myself with goofy weird classmates all day long being carefree (but I would have guy friends too hehe)

  31. QUESTION:
    Ten worst gifts to buy a woman?
    1. Never give a woman any kind of household appliance or something that is going to make "housework" easier. For instance, a blender, a toaster, a new vacuum, one of those mops they advertise on tv that does everything but suck the life out of you, anything in a informercial. The only wise choice is a new washing machine with a turbo spin cycle. (Makes laundry day go by pretty fast when you can at least sit on it during spin-dry and end up smiling the rest of the day.)

    2. Any bulk cleaning supplies, "honey, I got you that large box of Tide you have been wanting." "This Windex should last you a while." "I got a good deal on the industrial strength toilet bowl cleaner." All I can say is, be prepared to run. I have faith that if you would have at least stopped and thought about what would be a much more intimate gift, you would have had the sense to spring for the Chia Pet you were eyeing in Kmart.

    3. Any sharp objects made by Ronco which slices or dices, or a set of ginsu knives. These may one day be used as a weapon against you when you come home with lipstick on your collar after a "night out with the boys."

    4. Do not buy gifts for yourself and pretend they are for her. "Honey, I'm sure you'll get a lot of use out of the new drill I bought you." By then she will have put it to good use by drilling a quarter inch hole into the side of your skull for even thinking she would accept such a lame gift. After a gift like this, you probably won't be around for NEXT Christmas.

    5. Any lingerie made of flannel, such as a pair of feet pajamas with a trap door in back. A Little Mermaid or Barney cartoon character nightgown. It gives her the idea that you do not consider her the sexy woman that she is. Take out that wallet and buy her something sexy from Victoria Secret (just like you did for your mistress or other girlfriend).

    6. No name perfume which costs you .99, such as Eu de Toilet, which actually smells like the bathroom, moldy fruit, or your dirty socks. If you are going to buy her perfume, spring for the brand names.

    7. Any type of cubic zirconia jewelry you see on the Home Shopping Network. It will be quite embarrassing when she is showing off that fabulous diamond to her friends and tries to cut glass with it. (We actually test them you know.) Also, now would not be a good time to buy her that set of diamond nipple clamps you always wanted to, you know how we like to show off our jewelry and it could get embarrassing at the New Year's party when she decides to show them off to your buddies.

    8. Please do not buy her clothes because you think for one minute you have good taste in woman's clothing. Well, perhaps you might if you are a transvestite, but all in all, believe me, she'll smile and say its beautiful while choking back tears and mumbling under her breath, "were the hell would I ever wear this outfit without being arrested for bad taste?" An additional hint, plaids do not go with stripes (even though you think your golfing outfit looks just fine). Its a known fact to the rest of the world that that is a taboo. In the Northeast, thats like wearing white after Labor Day.

    9. Do not give her a gift certificate to Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. Most men would know better, especially the ones who have learned the correct response to "do these pants make me look fat." If you are one of the poor souls who still doesn't get it and purchased a gift like this, be prepared for the silent treatment for a month. (Although that may be something you would actually look forward to.) A better alternative would be hiring a Chippendale dancer as a personal trainer to get her motivated into getting fit.

    10. Last but not least, never buy a woman anti-wrinkle cream, or a book on "How not to be Nasty Sunday through Saturday." These are not considered gifts, they are considered reasons for seriously injuring the person who bought it and just may stand up in court of law.

    • ANSWER:
      i always used to do the point no. 6, now i know how wrong i was next time i will take care, LOL

  32. QUESTION:
    Does this list of common questions and answers about tattoo's help?
    So I woke up this morning to find that this question had been removed for some reason so I am posting it again for your enjoyment as I had some great responses yesterday. Enjoy

    1. Does it hurt? No of course not. This is just an urban myth so that everyone doesnt go out and get tattooed. Tattoos are not applied using a tattoo machine. This is just a special effect used by tv shows. All my tattoos were licked on by kittens. Different coloured kittens for the different colors of ink.

    2. How much will it cost? Actually tattoo artists feel so privileged to let them tattoo you that they will actually pay you.

    3. How do I get rid of my tattoo? Most people don't know this but there are a few methods. The human body is actually like a giant etch-o-sketch. Just shake yourself really hard and the tattoo will disapear. The second most reliable method for tattoo removal is the wizard of oz method. Just hold your hand over the tattoo you want removed and close your eyes and click your heels together while saying tattoo be gone 3 times and your tattoo should disapear.

    4. Can I make my own tattoo machine or make my own tattoo? Well of course you can. Tattoo artists only go through years of aprenticeship and training for the fun of it. Just use any old ink you have lying around, and some sort of pin or needle and go for it. It should come out looking like Da Vinci did it. Don't worry about cleanliness and infection. Having a tattoo automatically protects you from any nasty diseases you may get.

    5. What tattoo should I get? It doesnt matter really. Tattoo artists just start to tattoo with their eyes closed and are magically inspired by the tattoo gods to give you the perfect tattoo for you. Each tattoo is unique and individual to your exact personality type and emotional state at the time. So just blindly walk into a studio and say you want a tattoo and they will know exactly what to do for you.

    6. If I am under the legal age can I get a tattoo? Sure you can. Since tattoo's are so easy to put on and take off, any reputable shop will gladly tattoo you no matter what age you are regardless of parental consent. Don't forget, you and your friends can always do it yourself if you are having a hard time finding an artist to do one for you.

    7. Is my tattoo infected? Of course not. Tattoos magically protect you from infection and disease.

    8. What cream should I use on my tattoo? Well since you weren't paying attention to the aftercare instructions that your artist gave you I will let you in on a little secret. The best cream to use on a tattoo is the semen of a righteous man. Preferably the Dali Lama. Just go onto ebay and get a big bottle. It should last a while.

    9. Should I get a tattoo on my hands, neck, feet, face, palms, and soles of the feet? Yes, definately. Go for it. It is always a good idea, especially the face.

    10. Who is the best tattoo artist in my city? You are of course!! No one knows how to tattoo you better than yourself. So pick up that dirty safety pin and break open that sharpie and go nuts.

    11. Do you like my tattoo? Yes. The hazy, out of focus photobucket picture of your heart/ flower/ imp/ pixie/ fairy/ teletubby is fricking amazing. Welcome to the cool brigade, my friend

    12. How soon can I drink/tan/workout after a tattoo?
    Never. Getting a tattoo is a most sacred tradition. One you have tattooed your temple you may never violate it again...
    Brittany: Actually, I have thoroughly looked through the guidelines for YA and nothing in this post violates any of those guidlines. So no, I have no idea why it keeps getting removed other than the fact that one un-named person who doesn't have a sense of humor keeps reporting my post and instead of reading it, YA just removes it. And personally I couldn't care less if you think its funny or not. Enough people have responded positively that once again you are in the minority. IF you dont want to read my post, than dont click on it. Its not like I am forcing you to read it am I.
    By the way, I have only re posted this three times. Maybe if you stop reporting this than I will stop re posting it? Ever think of that?
    BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! Sure I have posted this a couple of times, but the first time I posted it , it was not in violation of any terms. As far as posting it to get points, dont you realize that it COSTS points to post a question. IF I wanted points all I would have to do is answer every question I see with a one word answer. As far as this being a rant. It is not a rant!! Exactly where in my post do you see me ranting?? If having a sense of humor and posting something that most of the others on here have found humorous is ranting then yes I guess this is a rant, but I doubt it. Also, if you would be bothered to read, this post is formed as a question!! I asked if anyone found this list helpfull. How is this different from people asking "what do you think of this tattoo?" and posting a pic? Instead of posting a pic, I posted a list. Furthermore, since only two or three people have posted neg comments its not that hard to figure out who might have reported my post.
    Brittany and Mandy, not once did I say that I thought you were the ones that reported me. All I said is that I only recieved a handfull of negative comments so it wouldnt be too hard to figure out who reported me. However your knee jerk reactions to my innocent statement could lead one to believe that you may be dealing with some underlying guilt issues lol. As for how old I am, probably a lot older than the two of you.

    • ANSWER:
      LMAO!!!! Yes i think you have pretty much summed it up! I dont know why they would have removed this. They should make it mandatory to read if you want to enter the tattoo section of Y!A. Again, thanx for the laugh!

  33. QUESTION:
    Does this list of common Q & A's about tattoos help?
    1. Does it hurt? No of course not. This is just an urban myth so that everyone doesnt go out and get tattooed. Tattoos are not applied using a tattoo machine. This is just a special effect used by tv shows. All my tattoos were licked on by kittens. Different coloured kittens for the different colors of ink.

    2. How much will it cost? Actually tattoo artists feel so privileged to let them tattoo you that they will actually pay you.

    3. How do I get rid of my tattoo? Most people don't know this but there are a few methods. The human body is actually like a giant etch-o-sketch. Just shake yourself really hard and the tattoo will disapear. The second most reliable method for tattoo removal is the wizard of oz method. Just hold your hand over the tattoo you want removed and close your eyes and click your heels together while saying tattoo be gone 3 times and your tattoo should disapear.

    4. Can I make my own tattoo machine or make my own tattoo? Well of course you can. Tattoo artists only go through years of aprenticeship and training for the fun of it. Just use any old ink you have lying around, and some sort of pin or needle and go for it. It should come out looking like Da Vinci did it. Don't worry about cleanliness and infection. Having a tattoo automatically protects you from any nasty diseases you may get.

    5. What tattoo should I get? It doesnt matter really. Tattoo artists just start to tattoo with their eyes closed and are magically inspired by the tattoo gods to give you the perfect tattoo for you. Each tattoo is unique and individual to your exact personality type and emotional state at the time. So just blindly walk into a studio and say you want a tattoo and they will know exactly what to do for you.

    6. If I am under the legal age can I get a tattoo? Sure you can. Since tattoo's are so easy to put on and take off, any reputable shop will gladly tattoo you no matter what age you are regardless of parental consent. Don't forget, you and your friends can always do it yourself if you are having a hard time finding an artist to do one for you.

    7. Is my tattoo infected? Of course not. Tattoos magically protect you from infection and disease.

    8. What cream should I use on my tattoo? Well since you weren't paying attention to the aftercare instructions that your artist gave you I will let you in on a little secret. The best cream to use on a tattoo is the semen of a righteous man. Preferably the Dali Lama. Just go onto ebay and get a big bottle. It should last a while.

    9. Should I get a tattoo on my hands, neck, feet, face, palms, and soles of the feet? Yes, definately. Go for it. It is always a good idea, especially the face.

    10. Who is the best tattoo artist in my city? You are of course!! No one knows how to tattoo you better than yourself. So pick up that dirty safety pin and break open that sharpie and go nuts.

    11. Do you like my tattoo? Yes. The hazy, out of focus photobucket picture of your heart/ flower/ imp/ pixie/ fairy/ teletubby is fricking amazing. Welcome to the cool brigade, my friend

    12. How soon can I drink/tan/workout after a tattoo?
    Never. Getting a tattoo is a most sacred tradition. One you have tattooed your temple you may never violate it again...
    Jenny, since you don't seem to get sick of people asking the same questions over and over, why are you annoyed by my post. I am just trying to answer the most common questions asked on here so they dont get posted over and over. This is a valuable public service. If you dont like it don't click on my question.
    Kermit J: I would consider it an honor if any artist posted this at their shop. Feel free to pass it along to anyone you think would get a kick out of it. The positive responses I have gotten from tattoo artists more than makes up for the negative comments. Thanks to all others with positive comments or funny negative comments.

    Anonymous, wow thanks, you got the point didn't you? I guess humor is lost on you and you would rather correct my one spelling mistake vs actually commenting on my post. Congrats for making me laugh my butt off.

    • ANSWER:
      LOL love it!

  37. QUESTION:
    What do you think of this?. i didn't write it (:?
    Before you make that first cut, remember--
    You will find the blood and pain release addictive.
    Even though you think you can make a few tiny cuts that aren't deep and will heal easily--
    They will get deeper.
    They will scar.
    They will take sometimes months to heal.
    And years for the scars to fade.
    If you think you can limit the cutting to one area of your body think again.
    It will spread when you run out of skin.
    Be prepared to withdraw from others and live in a constant state of shame.
    Even if you are the most honest person ever to live--
    You will find yourself lying to the people you love.
    You will jerk back from your friends when they touch you as if their hands were dipped in poison.
    You will be terrified that they will feel something under the cloth of your shirt or because it just plain hurts so much to be touched.
    Be prepared to get so out of control you fear your next cut because you don't know how bad it will be.
    Just wait for 10 cuts to turn into 100.
    Be prepared for your entire life to revolve around thinking about cutting--
    Cutting and covering up cutting.
    And just wait till that first time you cut "too deep."
    And you freak out because the blood won't stop...
    And you are gasping...
    And you feel yourself shaking all over.
    You are having a panic attack and you are terrified but you can`t tell anyone.
    So you sit there alone...
    Praying it will be okay--
    Swearing you'll never let it go this far again...
    But you will, and further....
    Don't worry, you will learn how to take care of your cuts so that you can go deeper and deeper and avoid the ER.
    And the better you get at treating your cuts,
    The deeper they get.
    You will lie to yourself and justify it when you find youself spending 20, 30, or 50 dollars every time you go the pharmacy.
    You will feel the flutter of your heartbeat everytime you go to the counter to ring up your order.
    Butterfly strips--
    3 or 4 different kinds of dressings...
    Betadine...
    Antibiotic cream...
    Medical tape...
    Scar reducers...
    You will tap your foot impatiently hoping the line will just move and noone will stare at you or wonder why you need all these things.
    And at the same time secretly hope someone will notice--
    Someone who is standing in line with an armful of the same supplies.
    Someone who understands--
    But of course that never happens.
    Medical supplies won't be the only thing you spend all your money on.
    Be prepared to buy a new wardrobe--
    Longsleeve shirts in summer colors, bracelets, wristbands, boots...
    The list goes on and on.
    You will start looking at everyone in a different way.
    Scanning their bodies for any signs of SI.
    Just hoping that you might meet someone like you so you don't feel so terribly alone.
    You wont even think about it,
    As your eyes scan their wrists arms.
    Hoping, just hoping they will be like you.
    But they are not.
    You will see their clean arms and feel terribly ashamed and alone.
    You will start doing a lot of things alone.
    You will always have to wash your laundry in private so no one sees the blood stains on your clothes and towels.
    You will always be cleaning up the blood.
    Scrubbing your bathroom floor.
    Wiping the blood off your keyboard.
    You won't be able to make it through a day without cutting.
    Next thing you know you are in a public bathroom somewhere breaking open a scab with a sewing needle that you keep in your wallet for emergencies.
    When you get really desperate,
    Anything will be a cutting tool...
    Scissors...a car key...a needle...a paperclip...even a pen.
    Doesn't matter what it is if you need to cut bad enough you will find something.
    Say goodbye to things you took for granted.
    Like wearing shorts or sandals...pedicures...sleeveless tops.
    A normal summer day at the beach or in a swimming pool will become a far off memory for you.
    Get ready to itch.
    Because you will itch and itch.
    So much you will look like you have fleas or a skin disease.
    You will become an expert on your body as you destroy it carefully.
    You will dream about cutting.
    You will dream about being exposed.
    It will haunt you day and night and take over your life.
    You will wish you never made that first cut because while you absolutely hate cutting--
    At the same time you love it and can not live without it...

      Very Good.

  38. QUESTION:
    this is a short story i am writing is it good?
    Her Mistake
    Part 1:
    Johnny you want to marry me, this must be a dream!
    Ms. Engel slams her man hands on my desk.
    “Kym, it was a dream, did you have a nice nap,” Ms. Engel says in a demeaning tone “I am appalled, I didn’t think my class was THAT boring!” The whole class starts laughing; I cover my face and slide down in my chair. Why is Ms. Engel Such a witch, what did I do to her. Well… I may have made fun of her man hands, but that’s it, jeez! I look down on to my desk, and there is this tightly folded piece of paper. I was trying to be as quite as possible while unfolding the note; I got the note open, it was from Kassi (my bffl). In tiny letters it read, “Kym, I need to talk to you, there is a lot happening right now. I need you to ride the bus home with me, Grandma, and the kids wont be there, don’t write back!” The bell rang; I was still collecting my belongings, as Kassi walked up.
    “Kym come on we can’t miss the bus”
    “Okay, Sorry Kass, I am coming, so what did you want to talk about”
    There was a long pause, by this time we were already outside waiting for the bus.
    “Kassi Michelle what is it”
    “Okay well I did it”
    “Did what?”
    “You know IT”
    “Oh my god, with who, when”
    “Okay you promise not to tell right”
    “Yes I promise just tell me”
    “It was with Austin, and it was 7 weeks and 4 days ago”
    “So what’s the issue”
    “Kymmie can we talk about this when we get to my house”
    “Okay Kass”
    I wonder what she needs to tell me. I am sure it is not that bad, it couldn’t be that bad.
    Part 2:
    The bus drops us off at our stop, complete silence on the walk back to her house. We get inside Kass starts picking the upstairs up, and she asks me if I could make her a BIG cup of ramen noodles, a bowl of cereal, and ice cream. Being the best friend I am (and wanting to know what she needs to tell me) I do it. We turn on the big screen T.V. and the computer in the living room, sit on the couch and start eating some Jelly Bum Bum candies. We are flipping through the channels and we decide to watch Dork New York. I turn my whole body so it faces Kassi, and I say:
    “So… are you trying to stall?”
    We both start laughing
    “No Kym-bul-bee, do you really wanna know?”
    “Yes Kass I want to know”
    “Okay well………..”
    “Well What”
    “Jeez Kym I am trying to tell you something serious and you are flipping out! Please keep calm”
    Kassi was on the verge of tears. Oh what can I do to comfort her, jeez this is hard. I move over to her couch, I hug her, and look her in they eyes.
    “Kassi don’t worry, I will not judge you, you can tell me anything”
    All I hear is sobs.
    “Kym I…. I think I am pregnant”
    “What, Kass, it was your first time you can’t be pregnant!”
    “Kymmie I don’t know what to do!”
    “Okay babe we will figure this out, you may not even be Prego, okay dry your tears, and go get a few dollars, cause I am hungry, and after that we are walking to Walgreens”
    “Okay I will be right back”
    How could this happen, it was her first time. Wait she might not even be pregnant. Let’s not freak. Stop talking to yourself Kym, you are still doing it stop! Okay well we are going to Walgreens. I said STOP TALKING TO YOURSELF!

    Part 3:
    It is freezing outside; I think my arm hair grew 2 inches! Why are we walking, it is February. We aren’t even talking, so the lip flapping theory to keep us warm is out the door. This is torture, why won’t she talk. Okay I know she might be pregnant, but wouldn’t you want to talk about it. Whatever we’re here. We walk up to the door, it slides open (it is an automatic door, cool!), aw warmth. We walk to the back of the store, where the condoms and pregnancy tests were. She opens her mouth to speak.
    “Kym do you know what the best test would be”
    “No, Kass I am sorry, I don’t even know how to work the things”
    I pick up a pregnancy box, and start reading the back.
    “Oh well, um, Kym I saw this one on T.V. so I guess I will get it”
    “How much is it Kass?”
    “I don’t know, but I get a big discount”
    “Oh that’s awesome, how much is getting knocked off?”
    “All of it”
    Kassi opens up the pink box and pulls one of the tests out. She puts it in her purse, and then we walk to the 7-11 across the street.
    “Kymmie you get something to eat and I will go take this, cross your fingers”
    “Will do”
    I get jumbo sized nachos, and I add extra cheese. A few minutes later she walks out, she is in tears.
    “I am,” Kassi says, I can barely hear her through the sobs.
    “Okay well we will work this out, everything is gonna be okay”
    “Kym how the hell is everything going to be okay, I have another human being inside of me!”
    “Okay well I think food will help, do you want some nachos?”
    “Are you kidding me Kym do I want nachos, really, no Kymberly I do not want nachos, I can’t believe you”
    “I am sorry I was just trying to help, whatever let’s go”
    I cant believe this is happening, what am I going to do, what is she going to do. Their must be another solution. Omg uh.

    i wrote this WAY before the 1st season of secret life, this has to do with my life, and how i felt when my best friend got prego in 7th grade soooooooooo....

    • ANSWER:
      your story is great
      im writing a story to
      luvs writing
      you should name it like the test or something like that

  39. QUESTION:
    How is my first chapter in my story? (Asked this before.. no one answered.)?
    Please just tell me what would make it more exciting and what you like about this chapter so far. (I'm not done with this chapter yet.) Where should i add more details at what could happen next etc etc.. Any suggestions? also tell me how it is. Please be HONEST. Because honesty is the only way it will get better. :)
    One this though... I know that there are a LOT of mistakes. But i'm not worried about that now. Later on ill fix them all : )
    P.S Its not done yet. I only gave you a sample of this chapter.
    (I also didn't include whats wrong with her at this moment because she's going to discuss it with Cassidy once she gets home.

    Chapter One

    “Oh my god!” I shrieked. “I’m so sorry! I didn’t see you” Seth was kind of holding his forehead from the pain of bumping heads. “Nah, it’s okay. Just a little pain.” ‘No, it’s not okay! Let me get you some ice.” I hurried over to get a zip lock bag and then over to the ice box. I sat down for a while until Seth walked over and gently took the ice pack from my hand. “Look, Really, Carly.. It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt that bad.” It seemed the clear blue beach water was completely still, but life was all around it. I looked in to his sparkling ice blue eyes and nearly melted at the sight of his gorgeous tan face. I stood up after an awkward silence and said, “If you really are okay then i’m going to go cool off inside. I’ll see you later.” Then rushed off and ordered an ice cold water. Seth was the last person I expected to see at the beach. He was usually out playing football. Like him, I was athletic. I played Soccer, volley ball and I also swim. My best friend Cassidy was usually over at the mall shopping at Forever21 or Wet Seal. Unlike her, I’m a beach girl. You know, tall, skinny, tan, long blonde hair, green eyes. Cassidy had long platinum blonde hair, brown eyes, freckles and is also a cheerleader. Honestly, I don’t really care much for cheerleaders. I guess it’s just the whole package. The outfits, the attitude and the way they wave their pom poms in your face at football games. I decided that since everyone was leaving I would go and watch the sunset before I also went home. I was gazing out at the orangish yellow sunset until a familiar figure sat beside me. “Oh, it’s you.” I said. Seth chuckled a bit. “Yeah. Sorry if I startled you.” He smiled. “It’s okay. How’s your head?” I asked biting my lip. ‘Well, it’s better. Much better. Thanks for asking.” I’d noticed that Seth had changed into a pair of dark wash jeans and a polo to match his ice blue eyes.
    “I thought you went home.” I had said. “I was on my way out until I saw you sitting here. I thought you looked like you might need someone to talk to.” “Um, oh.” It was right then that Seth’s girlfriend, Beth came out and called for him to drive her home.
    “Sorry,” he said “I have to drive Beth home. She crashed her car the other day. Ran it right into the back of a old truck.” I blinked once. And then twice. “Oh. Okay. I guess I’ll see you tomorrow at school?” I asked him. “Um. Sure.” He said as he walked away. As he faded into the orange light of the sunset I took one last look at him. I sighed and walked over to unlock my bike and go home.
    “I’m home!” I yelled. No response. “Mom? Dad?” I looked around but I didn’t see anyone. I went into the kitchen to get some ice cream and saw that there was a sticky note left on the refrigerator. “Dear Carly,”
    I read. “Mom and Dad have gone to Aunt Miranda’s house. I’m at Ryan’s house for the night. I’ll be home in the morning and mom and dad should be home around 10 or 11 o’clock tonight. There is Chinese food in the refrigerator. Help yourself to any of it.
    Sincerely, Chance, your brother”
    thanks for pointing out seth and beth. And Chance signing his name wiht 'your brother at the end' I will fix the beginning.
    Seth and Carly were both turning a corner and then they both accidently ran into eachother.

    • ANSWER:
      Really REALLY terrible. Have you considered making seth a girl? I think that a little gender re assignment is needed here as the romance, i can't feel the passion. it's all so autonymous, "I looked in to his sparkling ice blue eyes and nearly melted at the sight of his gorgeous tan face" this line in particular i found very dubious as it symbolises an in sufficcient rapport between the two "lovers" . Seriously consider changing Seths gender though...for a start...

  40. QUESTION:
    What do you think of my story so far?
    Ohkay, so, for english, we have these free writes due on certain days and this time I decided to do a story. What do you think? :)

    I take a deep breath and fish around in my pocket for the key; I was sure that I grabbed it before I left the house. I find it, kick open the door, and don’t even bother to look around the house. It’s empty, as usual. I run upstairs, throw my bag down and close my bedroom door. My phone vibrates from inside my bag, but I try and ignore the sound and push the thoughts from my head.

    On my phone are the 23 messages that you left that night. The night that I yelled at you and told you I never wanted to talk to you again; the night you were in the accident. I lie down on my bed and turn my back to my bag.

    What did that annoying counselor say again? That it’s not my fault? That I’m not responsible for the grief that the accident caused your family? Yeah, right. Of course this was my fault. If I had just answered my phone you wouldn’t have went out that night, on your way to apologize to my house and gotten hit by that driver.

    I can hear the sound of a car pulling up in the driveway and I force myself to sit up. The front door opens, closes, and then there are footsteps coming up the stairs. I don’t feel like talking to anyone so I grab my bag and pull my window open. I toss my bag into the big oak tree that almost touches my window and step out carefully onto the thick branch.

    I climb down the tree and inhale the crisp November air. The sun is beginning to go down and the cool breeze is becoming sharp. I make my way to the small diner downtown that we used to go to all the time when you were alive.

    I open the door and the familiarity of the place pushes those thoughts out of my mind. The sound of the bell rings when the door opens and the smell of coffee and French fries fills my lungs. I go to my usual seat in the corner and look around. Around me are all sorts of people, none look familiar, but they’re all the same each time. There are the typical truck drivers come in for their cup of coffee so they can continue their drive into the next state. The college students with their heavy text books spread out, large cups of coffee and their eyes locked on their laptop screens.

    I catch a whiff of perfume and don’t look up. I can already tell it’s the waitress.

    “I’ll have, uh, a…” She cuts me off, her voice impatient, like I should be more observant.

    “You don’t need to tell me, hun, I’ve got it right here. Your usual” She sets down a cup of coffee and a bagel with cream cheese on the side. “You order the same thing, every time, remember?”
    I try to smile but it doesn’t feel right and give up.

    “Uh, yeah, you’re right. Thanks.”

    When I look up she’s already gone, so I spread some cream cheese on the bagel and take a bite. I stare out the window and watch the people outside walk by, laughing, and enjoying the sales before Thanksgiving.

    I finish my coffee and like on cue the waitress hands me the bill. I leave some cash and step out into the cool air. Now I regret not grabbing a sweater.

    I wonder if you’re cold too. When I last saw you they did your hair and makeup. If you saw yourself, you would have laughed at yourself because you looked like one of the Barbie clones that strolled down the school hallways. They only put you in a pretty, prom-looking dress, in a light blue color, your favorite. But it wasn’t how they dolled you up that disturbed me. It was the fact that I recognized the dress.

    It was the same dress that you picked out the week before our fight; before you died. You twirled around in front of the department store mirror, and decided that yes, this was the one you would wear to the homecoming dance. You had a big smile on your face as you slid your dad’s credit card across the counter, not knowing that instead of homecoming, you’d be wearing that to dress your funeral.

    And that's it for now...anything I should fix? Thanks! :)
    Aww, thanks guys. This was my first time writing something :)

    I've always wanted to write a story but I thought it would come out stupid, lol.
    But I was listening to this song and it really inspired me :)

  43. QUESTION:
    How would I go about helping my friend not worry about people viewing her differently based on her speech?
    My friend, I like her a lot too. Well she's been taking speech class over the summer at college, and she's worried that people are going to view her and think of her differently based on her speech. I told her to calm down and I made her feel better with a bible verse and she said she was confident. Just yesterday, she had to give another speech, I really thought she'd do great, but when I talked to her in the evening she said she was the last one to go. And she got extremely nervous that she didn't bother to finish her speech and she just left. I told her to have a great night and that I'm there for her if she needs me. I even asked her if she wanted to go out and get ice cream or watch a movie to get her mind off things. But she just said "yeah not today, some other time" and she said she's not really in the mood to talk about it. I told her that I'm there for her, and if she needs me I'm here.

    Today, my class ended early and I give her my parking spot, I gave her a call but she didn't pick up, so I left a voice message saying "hey I hope you're feeling a lot better, I miss you very much, I'm out of class right now so if you want my parking spot call me back" I waited, and waited, but she did say last night that she might not come to school because she's ashamed and embarrassed I guess. SO I called her again, she still didn't pick up so I said "hey! whatsup? I really want you to be confident, I care about you, I want you to come to school tomorrow, I'll be sure to cheer u up to my best abilities, have a great day and call me back later". The day is slowly coming to an end and she hasn't called back. I left her this message online, but I doubt she read it yet. My message said the following :

    Where did your smile go, it’s been a frown for far too long.
    I miss you so much.
    Day after day, I pray for you,
    That God may be able to love you, bless you, shine His light upon you.
    It huts me to see you this way,
    I’ll even make a fool of myself, just to make you laugh.
    I promised I’d give you space, as much as you need,
    Just promise me you'll come back soon!
    Let the past be past and the present be present.
    I understand what you feel, we’ve all been there.
    I want you to keep your head up high,
    And tell yourself “I Can Do It!”
    I’m here for you when you need someone to talk to,
    I’ll lend you my shoulder if you need to cry,
    I’ll sit next to you for hours and hours at a time,
    Listening to everything you have to say.
    If only I can make you feel better and see that frown turn into a smile.
    I promise I’ll stay strong for you,
    Even though I’m getting teary eyed just thinking about you.
    It’s the 1st day of July,
    It’s a new month for you,
    A time for you to take a stand!
    Give your friends a call and go do something productive and have a great time.
    You deserve it! Even though you think you haven’t done anything to deserve it,
    You do!
    I know you’re confident, I know you can do it! I believe in you!
    Get out there and show ‘em you can! =]

    [Have an awesome day! I miss you!!!...]

    So now I just decided to let her cool herself down, just do things with her friends to get her mind off all this. But also I'm giving her space. Good idea or what should I be doing?

    • ANSWER:
      You seem like a really sweet guy and the things you say to her make it apparent that you have feelings for her. I think giving her some space is the right thing to do she may know that you have feelings for her and not feel the same way so you may be smothering a bit. Try just being her friend and being supportive. There is really not much else you can do.

  44. QUESTION:
    Trying to find myself, no one gets me?!?
    Why is it,
    At school guys won't talk to me much, but if I go out of town I get wolf whistles, stares, and winks?

    I have been told my eyes are too close together, I'm fat, and I look like a boy at school, but when I go out, people tell me I'm gorgeous, say I should be a model, ask how I stay so fit, ask me to model for them?

    Why do I feel so insecure and un-confident at school, and I love so much going out, and pretending to be someone I'm not, someone I want to be?
    I know I'm pretty, but I have so much stress about people judging me at school, it changes my appearance. I notice it, my family notices it.
    When I just feel a little more normal, people think I look 'different', when I just look like myself.

    I hate SO MUCH, that people at my school think I'm shy and quiet, and a loner, and don't even try to make friends, when that's all I have been doing, and NONE of them know me!
    How can they make these judgments on me,
    It has caused me to hate myself,
    to lose myself,
    to cut myself,
    I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO I AM ANYMORE!!

    I'm tall, I'm blonde, I'm relatively pretty, I love to laugh, I like wearing pink, and red, and cream, and green. I love my family, I moved away from my best friend in my whole life, I want a boyfriend too, I'm a book worm, I love playing around with makeup, I love god, I like house music, and country music, I have braces.
    I HAVE NO CLUE WHO I AM!

    I want to move or to runaway and re-create myself or something. I want to find god again.
    "Your outlook on life is a direct reflection on how much you like yourself"

    Please advise.
    @Jakey100

    Um first of all,
    I am normally a confident person,
    So when I'm out and I get stares and winks,
    It's not predatory behavior because it looks like I have no self confidence.
    That's disgusting.
    I'm much more confident outside of school...

    • ANSWER:
      Same situation with me. I think the people in your school are jealous of your looks. But you know what? Just learn to love yourself like I have because once you graduate, those people aren't going to matter to you anymore. Don't try to be popular because it fails and you probably aren't going to be close friends with the people around you. People always said I was shy to, when I wasn't. I'm 16, and almost done high school. I am alone. Pretty much. I know I am pretty, and I plan to be a model. I'm not going to let anyone hold me back. I am the most important thing in my life (not being selfish) and you should be to. You can recreate yourself by finding yourself, without trying to impress other people. I've tried and tried, but I am now happy because i know that I am going to be more successful than all of them, by trying and not giving up. Plan for your future. Don't worry about today. I have like two closeish friends who I will stay in contact with after high school and that's all that matters. You have your whole life ahead of you.

  47. QUESTION:
    Anime Quiz #3 – fighting! Yay!?
    Yay! Hi everyone! Topic – fighting (well really a day in your anime life and how you would respond to the challenges, it was too long for the title) I fell kind of bad because my last quiz wasn’t all that good, and I’m not sure what this one is like, tell me what you think please! Choose an ice cream flavor, here you go! ^.^ I love ice cream… Ok, lets start!

    Copy and Paste for me, ‘k?

    1. You are walking one day, and your least favorite anime character says they can beat you in a battle, what do you do?

    2. You wake up to the annoying yell of a person. You open your eyes and see it’s your favorite anime character. They tell you that they are under attack! What do you do?

    3. No matter what you answered on the first question you decide to help him/her. You turn around and see a knife flying straight at his/her back, what do you do?

    4. After the battle (which you won by the way ^.^), you are walking with him/her and somebody makes fun of him/her, what do you do?

    5. You are cornered in a dark alley; your favourite anime character (who can fight well) is with you and tells you that you could probably take them and he/she could let you deal with them yourself. What do you do?

    ^_^ Have another ice cream, any flavour! Yay!

    • ANSWER:
      1. You are walking one day, and your least favorite anime character says they can beat you in a battle, what do you do? Hmm ... Go Super Saiyajin and spend 4 episodes charging my spirit bomb before unleashing the sheer devastation unto my foe.

      2. You wake up to the annoying yell of a person. You open your eyes and see it’s your favorite anime character. They tell you that they are under attack! What do you do? Go back to sleep. It's definitely a dream.

      3. No matter what you answered on the first question you decide to help him/her. You turn around and see a knife flying straight at his/her back, what do you do? Pray she has some power I didn't know about, but at the last second push her out of the way.

      4. After the battle (which you won by the way ^.^), you are walking with him/her and somebody makes fun of him/her, what do you do? Laugh ... then ... go Super Saiyajin ... kidding. I would probably join in =)

      5. You are cornered in a dark alley; your favourite anime character (who can fight well) is with you and tells you that you could probably take them and he/she could let you deal with them yourself. What do you do? Agree, but decide to ignore the adversaries, saying; you could do it better though.

  48. QUESTION:
    Can you help me translate this Old English into Modern Speaking English?
    I have 2 monologues for an audition I need to do, but it's in Old English and I don't fully understand it, can you help? The first is from "Romeo and Juliet" said by Rosalind:

    "And why, I pray you? Who might be your mother,
    That you insult, exult, and all at once,
    Over the wretched? What though you have no beauty,--
    As, by my faith, I see no more in you
    Than without candle may go dark to bed--
    Must you be therefore proud and pitiless?
    Why, what means this? Why do you look on me?
    I see no more in you than in the ordinary
    Of nature's sale-work. 'Od's my little life,
    I think she means to tangle my eyes too!
    No, faith, proud mistress, hope not after it:
    'Tis not your inky brows, your black silk hair,
    Your bugle eyeballs, nor your cheek of cream,
    That can entame my spirits to your worship.
    You foolish shepherd, wherefore do you follow her,
    Like foggy south puffing with wind and rain?
    You are a thousand times a properer man
    Than she a woman: 'tis such fools as you
    That makes the world full of ill-favour'd children:
    'Tis not her glass, but you, that flatters her;
    And out of you she sees herself more proper
    Than any of her lineaments can show her.
    But, mistress, know yourself: down on your knees,
    And thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love:
    For I must tell you friendly in your ear,
    Sell when you can: you are not for all markets:
    Cry the man mercy; love him; take his offer:
    Foul is most foul, being foul to be a scoffer.
    So take her to thee, shepherd: fare you well."

    And the second is from "A Midsummer Nights Dream" spoken by Helena

    "How happy some o'er other some can be!
    Through Athens I am thought as fair as she.
    But what of that? Demetrius thinks not so;
    He will not know what all but he do know:
    And as he errs, doting on Hermia's eyes,
    So I, admiring of his qualities:
    Things base and vile, folding no quantity,
    Love can transpose to form and dignity:
    Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
    And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind:
    Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste;
    Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste:
    And therefore is Love said to be a child,
    Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.
    As waggish boys in game themselves forswear,
    So the boy Love is perjured every where:
    For ere Demetrius look'd on Hermia's eyne,
    He hail'd down oaths that he was only mine;
    And when this hail some heat from Hermia felt,
    So he dissolved, and showers of oaths did melt.
    I will go tell him of fair Hermia's flight:
    Then to the wood will he to-morrow night
    Pursue her; and for this intelligence
    If I have thanks, it is a dear expense:
    But herein mean I to enrich my pain,
    To have his sight thither and back again."

    Thanks so much if you help! Even if you just do one and another person does the other would be great!! Thanks!!

    • ANSWER:
      First, Shakespeare is Early Modern English, not Old English (which was spoken before about 1100). Second, Rosalind's speech to the shepherdess is from As You Like It. You can find parallel translations at No Fear Shakespeare - they're ugly, but reasonably accurate.

  49. QUESTION:
    Makeup, tampons, shaving legs, workout routines?? Help please!?
    Hey, so I have some questions about everything listed.

    makeup-
    okay, so I haven't started wearing any yet, but I want to. I'm 13, and I want some tips.
    1. best kind of eyeliner (liquid, pencil, waterproof, etc...) and best way to apply it and how much to apply.
    2. eyeshadow--what color(s) would look best and subtle? I have semi-tan skin year round and dark brown hair. My eyes aren't small or big, just in the middle.
    3. what makes your face appear smoother? I'd prefer a more natural look, if attainable. I don't want to look like those girls wearing way too much makeup.
    4. mascara--best kind? any tips or downsides on using it?
    5. lipgloss or lipstick is better for a 13 year old? and what color(s)?
    6. best makeup remover that's affordable, best way to use it and what to use it with (cotton balls, etc.)
    7. anything else that you suggest or tips and techniques.

    tampons--
    1. basically, specific way to apply it x_x
    2. how often you should change one
    3. easiest one to apply for just starting out
    ahhhh scary:(

    shaving legs-
    1. best razors. disposable ones or those big fat ones that are supposed to last longer and what brand?
    2. how to do it? any special techniques that you personally find good?
    3. best shaving cream or substitute for it? or none at all?
    4. best moisturizer for afterward or substitute?
    5. how often should you shave?

    workout routines-
    1. any heard of P90X? anything like it that I could do, but a lot less harder, cause those workout vids are for like adults. or anything that you follow yourself that doesn't include a vid? I'm only 13 so I can't do a lot yet, but I'd like to work on it.
    2. any tips to keep in shape?

    Sorry I have a lot of questions! Feel free not to answer all of them, just label the answers with the number of the question and what it covers. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
    p.s. I live with my dad. don't see my mom much.

    • ANSWER:
      MAKE UP
      1. I have experimented a lot with eyeliner and it just never looks natural the way mascara does. And I personally don't think anyone looks great with eyeliner, it just looks like they're trying too hard. Trust me, your eyes look bigger and prettier without it! If you must, opt for a soft kohl dark brown pencil eyeliner (all eyeliners are almost the same, so DON'T go for expensive ones), and line just the outer half of your upper lash line. This will make your lashes look thicker. Lining the bottom lash line looks unnatural and the liner always runs down your face - not attractive.
      2. Oh my god, don't wear eye shadow. That's wierd and grandma-y. Eye shadow is kind of a mature thing and it just doesn't look good on teenagers, seriously. Especially since if you want to do it right, you need proper blending brushes and stuff. Don't wear eyeshadow now, or it will be one of those things where you look back in a few years (trust me, I know) and say, what was I thinking? Why didnt anyone tell me 13yrolds look ridiculous with eyeshadow?
      3. A tinted moisturiser would be good. They are light but even out your skintone and are not damaging to your skin at all. One from nivea or neutrogena is fine, have a look at ones from a drugstore.
      4. One thing to remember is never go for volume. Clumpy lashes? Ew! Go for length. Long, pretty, fanned out lashes look more natural and realllly open up your eyes. If you can, buy an eyelash curler and curl your lashes at the roots before using mascara. I love Lengthening Mascara from 17, at Boots, but I have tried so many mascaras, including Dior, and its really what works for you. Make sure you get LENGTH not thick clumpy lashes.
      5.Um, lipstick is bad for your age, my age, any young teen really. You only use lipstick for a different colour, and you are NOT gonna look nice with red lips, trust me! Thats for your mother. Go for lipgloss, and try to get shimmery ones over glittery ones because it looks more sophisticated without being too much. I am fine with Carmex, or Vaseline in Rose. I would suggest a tinted lip balm rather than a lipgloss as lipgloss is so 9-year-old barbie make up set, you know? And lipgloss is actually really drying to your lips. Tinted lip balm gives you shiny, rosy, plumped up healthy lips. So yeah, Carmex in cherry or Vaseline in rose. From any drugstore.

      7. My only advice is not to go crazy with make up right now, and stay away from eyeliner, eyeshadow, foundation and lipstick in particular at this age. As you mature more, you can introduce things into your make up routine but, well, think back to the fashion you wore 3 yrs ago. Don't you wish someone had been there to dress you fashionably? Well, I'm here. Now. And I'm telling you what to do with make up because a lot of your friends are gonna make mistakes and you have the chance to be different, so that in a few years time when they're talking about that disgusting shade of eyeshadow they thought was cool when they were younger you can say, hey, my make up was pretty good. And they can be like, yeah, you were so mature! Don't make the mistake of doing too much right now, YOU WILL ONLY REGRET IT, ok?

      TAMPONS
      Haha, sorry, you're soo cute. And god, this is one of those things I remember worrying about a lot. And I started my period at 11, so it was confusing for me! But the best thing is just to get tampons with APPLICATORS (I reccomend Tampax) and read the leaflet that comes with them which is specifically written for first time users. Thats the best advice your gonna get. Buy the absorbency according to how heavy you are.
      Its hard to know when to change, so I suggest wearing a pantyliner (I feel a lot more secure with these with as tampons, plus they are unnoticeable and comfy!) - a type of pad just in case you didn't know - and when you leak, change it! Tampons are really comfy when you get the hang of them, and much better than pads, cause they are less bulky and noticeable, and don't SMELL :D .
      My final words of advice on this for you: If it hurts when you put it in, you are pushing at the wrong angle, change the angle, and if its right, it will glide in without you being able to feel it whatsoever. Plus, don't worry about putting bigger tampons in - honey, a baby is gonna come out of that thing.
      Shaving legs
      1. Get ones that last longer, they are better quality. Ones like Venus Embrace have 5 blades for a much closer shave and has small soap bars above and below the blades so that it foams as you shave.
      2. Go in the shower, and make sure your legs have been in the warm-hot water for a while. If there are any goosebumps, this is baaad as you will slice the tops of them off and will have little nicks all over. Be GENTLE and go slow. Because the first few times you probably will cut yourself simply because you are being too harsh or going too fast. I like to shave my legs whilst I have conditioner in my hair :)
      3. You don't need shaving cream, you're not shaving your FACE after all. Just make sure your legs and razor are WET and are wet throughout the shave (I keep my shower on). If you wish, lather up some body wash/gel.
      4. Use any body moisturiser. I reccomend Jergens Naturals Ultra Hydrating Lotion (available at supermarkets or drugstores) but honestly, any will do and it doesn't have to be specifically an after-shaving one.
      5. Shave when you feel stubble and when you are bothered to. If you don't mind being a bit stubbly, and only want smooth legs for parties, then hell, only shave before parties. If you want to be hair free all the time, shave every few days. Or, do what I do, shave regularly in the spring/summer, but in the autumn/winter give your legs a break since your not wearing shorts anymore and no one will know! :)

      Workout routines
      1. http://www.realage.com/shape-up-slim-down/workout-center/20-minute-workout
      I follow this workout once a week, every sunday, without fail. But then, I also go running regularly (I'm older than you, so I guess you may not be allowed out running) and do a lot of sport at school. I don't know how much sport your school does, but mine does 2 hrs on a monday, 1.5 hrs on a tuesday, 40 mins on a wednesday, 2 hours on a thursday, nothing on friday, and 3 hrs on a saturday. I go running on tuesday, friday and saturday. I'm a bit of an excercise freak tho XP.
      So if I were you, I would do this workout 3 or 4 times a week at least if you can't go running. But ease into it gradually.
      2. Don't eat fried or greasy foods, they make you fat, give you zits, make your hair and skin more oily and just don't make you happy. Eat well, eat healthily, and never let yourself go hungry. Eat full, proper meals, but keep it healthy and in balance. Treat yourself every now and then, but also have healthy moments - like a full fruit salad for breakfast. You will feel happier because of it.

      Hope I helped. :)

  50. QUESTION:
    I believe im jealous of my older sister?
    Ok. So...I have an older sister. We'll call her.... Sam. She's 21, everyone comments on how absolutely gorgeous she is. Tanned skin, green eyes, skinny. She describes herself as being "cocky, self-assured" she has a great job, and doesn't hold back from bragging about how her life is "so perfect you can't help but compare yourself to me." she lives with our grandparents. When we were at her birthday party I forgot my swimsuit and my grandma mentioned how I could wear one of my sister's. Her response was "They are all size small. They will not fit her at all." It makes me feel really bad about my body.

    This goes to say im 15. Im taller than her, on the heavier side, I can't tan, I am as white as sour cream. My family always says how I should be like my older sister, and all of the bragging my sister expresses and how her life is "perfect" makes me feel like I MUST be like her, without even trying I am constantly comparing myself to her, trying to have all the stuff she has, talking like her...im turning into a clone. Im trying to be like her so much I am loosing my identity.

    What should I do? :/

    • ANSWER:
      aww im sorry julie! Don't worry about it. and Don't pay much attention to people comparing you to your sister or telling you to be like your sister. My parents always compare me to my brother but I am who I am and they just have to deal with it. Also, parents don't mean to compare their children, and if they do, its not meant in a mean way. It is meant in a way of complimenting the others for some good traits but also to try to push you to be the best you can be. Don't lose your identity and stay white. You don't realize it but your parents probably do the same thing to your sister when you are not around.

Washington State Humane Society Jobs

Posted on October 30, 2011 by ecoadmin

Slaughter equipment for animals has evolved over the past 100 years yet is still a controversial issue amongst some vegetarians and animal activists. In modern society there are many methods in which to slaughter an animal, ranging from chemical (carbon dioxide) to mechanical (bolt stunners) and electrical means, all of which have their own benefits. Animal slaughter for meat is still applied ritually in certain Eastern religions such as Judaism and the Hindu faith; and although some countries such as Sweden, Iceland and Norway have banned certain forms of ritual slaughter, in May 2009 the European Parliament voted in favor of allowing ritual slaughter in the member states. The issue of human slaughter and the methods used by societies in order to eat meat is constantly evolving with new forms of humane slaughter equipment being invented all the time.

Prior to the invention of humane slaughter equipment (which became popular throughout the 20th Century in Europe) animals such as cows, sheep and goats were slaughtered by being struck over the head or 'pole-axed' in a brutal and imprecise manner, leading to intense suffering on the part of the animal. In 1933, the UK Labour government of James Ramsey McDonald passed the Humane Slaughter Act which required that equipment such as the humane bolt stunner be used on all cattle and calves. Steadily since that Act of Parliament animal pressure groups have fought to improve the methods of humane slaughter for all types of animals people eat for meat; but alongside such causes there are religious groups who require rights to be able to ritually slaughter their meat as the religions they follow practice such methods. The issue in how we slaughter animals for meat will continue to divide nations and people for many years to come.

The most popular method of animal slaughter in Europe and the United States is applied via the use of bolt stunners, which are also known as the captive bolt pistol, cattle gun, stunbolt gun or bolt gun. These forms of humane slaughter were essentially invented and popularised in response to the legal requirements that were happening across Europe and the United States. Other modern methods include using an electrical current through the brain of the animal prior to the actual slaughter; the shock renders the animal unable to feel pain, but it's an apparently controversial application of humane slaughter in chickens as it leads to bone fractures, stops the flow of the birds bleeding which leads to lesser quality of meat. As you'd expect, the gas stunning method is where (most commonly mustard gas) suffocates the creatures in a relatively painless manner.

The humane slaughter method of using a bolt stunner is called percussive stunning and can be split into three types which are the penetrative, non-penetrative and free-bolt methods. The bolt stunner itself is a rod sometimes shaped like a gun or pistol, it's made of stainless steel or durable plastics and has a trigger which when pulled releases the bolt or air which stuns the animal. Penetrative bolt stunners when used, actually project the bolt which enters the animals' skull and damages the brain in a split-second so the least amount of conscious pain is felt by the creature. This is the most popular method in that although it damages the animals' brain, the heart still beats and continues to circulate blood which is essential for quality of meat. A controversial issue with this method can be the spread of such diseases as BSE, as the intravenous bolt is used to slaughter a number of animals and thus spreads disease. The non-penetrative method is when the bolt hits the animals head but doesn't enter the skull, merely the outside and concussing the animal into a painless state. Another type of stunning equipment is the free-bolt stunner which is used in situations where the animal can't be contained such as in a field, the main difference from the other types of bolt stunner is that the projected bolt isn't retractable. There is no one all-encompassing method of humane slaughter for all animals, even different types of cows require differing methods of slaughter due to the thickness of skull in various breeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Are there any apartments in Vancouver Washington without pet restrictions?
    I'll be graduating high school shortly, and my father doesn't want me to stay at home, and has given me two months after high school to get a job and move out. I grew up with pets all of my life and the thought of living without them is terrible, and there is an amazing American Pit Bull Terrier at the local Humane Society. I know that a doctor's note that states I need an ESA (Emotional Support Animal) is a possibility, but I also know that it does not always work, nor does it guarantee that I can have an APBT if the landlord even allows me to have an animal. I'm keeping my options open and was wondering if there were any apartments in the Vancouver Washington area that allow dogs (I haven't been able to find any, maybe I'm searching wrong) and if so, is there any way to get an APBT in?
    Thanks, but I'm well aware of how much dogs cost, and am prepared to take any and all responsibility for one. I'm not your average kid who just wants an animal with no desire or means to take care of it. I understand your concern, and thank you for your response, but would like my original question to be answered rather than have people throw out their opinions.
    My reasons for needing a dog are personal, and I do not wish to share, however, a doctor's note is a LAST RESORT. Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Try craigslist , it gives you a list of places that allow dogs!

  2. QUESTION:
    Did you know that it was Bush who made laws to enable illegals to get easy citizenship and the right to vote?
    "Saying the United States needs an immigration system "that serves the American economy and reflects the American dream," President Bush Wednesday outlined an plan to revamp the nation's immigration laws and allow some eight million illegal immigrants to obtain legal status as temporary workers.

    "Over the generations, we have received energetic, ambitious optimistic people from every part of the world. By tradition and conviction, our country is a welcoming society," he said. "Every generation of immigrants has reaffirmed the wisdom of remaining open to the talents and dreams of the world."

    ""As a nation that values immigration and depends on immigration, we should have immigration laws that work and make us proud," he said. "Yet, today, we do not."

    Bush said the reform confronts "a basic fact of life and economics -- some of the jobs being generated in America's growing economy are jobs American citizens are not filling."

    "These jobs represent a tremendous opportunity for workers from abroad who want to work and to fulfill their duties as a husband or a wife, a son or a daughter," he said.

    Bush also touted his immigration proposals as a national security measure, saying it will help the United States exert more control over its borders.

    "Our homeland will be more secure when we can better account for those who enter our country," he said. "Instead of the current situation, in which millions of people are unknown ... law enforcement will face few problems with undocumented workers and will be better able to focus on the true threats to our nation from criminals and terrorists," he said.

    But while temporary workers will have the opportunity to try to stay in the United States permanently, they will be encouraged to return to their home countries with financial incentives and, if they do decide to stay, will have to compete with migrants outside the country for the limited number of immigration slots, the president said.

    "I oppose amnesty -- placing undocumented workers on the automatic path to citizenship," he said. "Granting amnesty encourages the violation of our laws and perpetuates illegal immigration. America's a welcoming country. But citizenship must not be the automatic reward for violating the laws of America."

    Currently, about 140,000 "green cards" are issued each year to people wanting to migrate to the United States. Bush said Wednesday that number is too low, and he called on Congress to raise it, although he did not give a specific number."

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,107644,00.html

    WASHINGTON — President Bush proposed a plan Wednesday that would allow illegal immigrants working in the United States to stay here if their employers vouch for their jobs.

    Saying U.S. laws should allow workers to enter the country to fill the jobs Americans are not willing to take, Bush said: "We must make our immigration law more rational and more humane, and I believe we can do so without jeopardizing the livelihood of American citizens."

    The "temporary worker program" (search) would also allow immigrants to come to the United States if they can prove they have a job lined up and they don't plan to stay here indefinitely.

    "Over the generations, we have received energetic, ambitious, optimistic people from all over the world ... our country is a welcoming society," Bush said. "America is a stronger and better nation because of the hard work and faith and the entrepreneurial spirit of immigrants."

    The president's plan aims to relieve the pressures on hotel maids, meat cutters, landscapers and a host of other illegal workers.

    Plus, the administration hopes to better secure the nation's borders and the homeland by making sure even illegals are documented.

    "As a nation that values immigrants and depends on immigrants, we should have immigration laws that work and make us proud," the president said. "Yet today we do not. Instead we see many employers turning to the illegal labor market. We see millions of hard-working men and women condemned to fear and insecurity in a massive undocumented economy.

    I was wondering why Bush had such high Hispanic percentage rates ....yet republicans on here blame Democrats. People over the past decade republicans were mainly in office, so who do you think was responsible for the big illegal boom? In 2009, people blaming Obama and democrats for illegal immigration problems that started years before he even took office, *shakes head*
    Everything - that was an early link, it passed. Just like how Bush talked about tax cuts for the rich, and it passed. Hurt the economy, and now President Obama has taxes at there lowest in over 60 years but, hey Bush tried I guess.

    • ANSWER:
      As a Democrat I agree. I find ANY amnesty for illegal aliens utterly contemptible.

      Keep track of those who vote for it or support it in any way, even those who are silent on the issue.

      Time to VOTE THEM OUT.

      HOWEVER, also toss out all the representatives who are bigoted against LEGAL immigration, the brave and honest souls that came here legally (I do NOT mean those who received amnesty), and give them the BOOT.

  3. QUESTION:
    Is it odd that illegal aliens can protest for rights in the U.S. but can’t do it in their country of origin?
    Comprehensive Immigration Reform ‘March for America’ – Over 100,000 expected

    Washington D.C. - March 17 - In just a few days, Sunday, March 21, Washington will see the largest concentration of pro-immigration reform protesters in the history of the United States. This rally, will bring together legal aliens, illegal aliens, U.S. citizens, gay, black, Brazilians, Koreans, Indian, Irish, religious and non-religious people, as well as a myriad of different groups, from our “melting pot” with one goal in common – to fix our broken immigration system; a system that if left unchecked will eventually destroy families, business and the economy of the United States.

    People from communities across the United States are working together towards achieving the 279 votes needed to win just and humane comprehensive immigration reform legislation: 218 votes in the House of Representatives, 60 votes in the Senate, and one signature from the President.

    There are estimated to be between 11 and 20 million undocumented immigrants, at least 8 million of whom are in the labor force. These immigrants want to “come out of the shadows” and become productive members of the American society yet have not been able to do so because their undocumented status which give them basically no rights. They have to accept lower pay and worse working conditions than would be the case if they had legal. They are unable to drive a car, attend college and join the armed forces status or even collect unemployment benefits after they have paid into the system. The effect of the current laws undercuts the potential of millions in the country, reduces the consumption power of the working class, and, even though undocumented immigrants do pay taxes, deprives federal, state and local governments of increased revenues that would come from higher earnings.

    Children have the greatest problems. Some 4 million U.S. citizen children with one or both parents undocumented, who, on a daily basis face the cruel possibility of the arrest and deportation of a mother and father. Many others entered when they were young. They graduated American high schools, and now, cannot attend college, get a job or even drive a care. They are relegated to a lower class, similar to the historically “untouchables” from India. These children, who for all intents and purposes are Americans; they speak English without an accent, they are part of our culture and have little or no knowledge of their parents country and heritage.

    The far right anti-immigrant lobby complain that U.S. born workers that the undocumented are "stealing their jobs" and claims that their mass deportation would "open up" jobs for U.S. born workers. They have convinced many, but these people manipulate the facts to prove their point.

    Workers of every kind, immigrant and U.S. born, documented and undocumented, occupy jobs in the economy, but also create wealth by their toil and engage in other activities (as consumers and taxpayers) that create jobs for others.

    • ANSWER:
      I say lets encourage them to protest, in fact lets have a set day and a special place set up for them to all come to and protest. Then we round them up and deport them.

Washington State Humane Society In Bellevue

Posted on October 30, 2011 by ecoadmin

This article is about human society.

A civilization is a society or culture group normally defined as a complex society characterized by the practice of agriculture and settlement in towns and cities. Compared with other cultures, members of a civilization are commonly organized into a diverse division of labor and an intricate social hierarchy.

Definition

Civilization is often used as a synonym for the broader term "culture" in both popular and academic circles. Every human being participates in a culture, defined as "the arts, customs, habits... beliefs, values, behavior and material habits that constitute a people's way of life".However, in its most widely used definition, civilization is a descriptive term for a relatively complex agricultural and urban culture. Civilizations can be distinguished from other cultures by their high level of social complexity and organization, and by their diverse economic and cultural activities.

In an older but still frequently used sense, the term "civilization" can be used in a normative manner as well: in societal contexts where complex and urban cultures are assumed to be superior to other "savage" or "barbarian" cultures, the concept of "civilization" is used as a synonym for "cultural (and often ethical) superiority of certain groups." In a similar sense, civilization can mean "refinement of thought, manners, or taste".

In his book The Philosophy of Civilization, Albert Schweitzer one of the main philosophers on the concept of civilization, outlined the idea that there are dual opinions within society; one regarding civilization as purely material and another regarding civilization as both ethical and material. He stated that the current world crisis was, then in 1923, due to a humanity having lost the ethical conception of civilization. In this same work, he defined civilization, saying:

"

It is the sum total of all progress made by man in every sphere of action and from every point of view in so far as the progress helps towards the spiritual perfecting of individuals as the progress of all progress.

In the sixth century, the Roman Emperor Justinian oversaw the consolidation of Roman civil law. The resulting collection is called the Corpus Juris Civilis. In the 11th century, professors at the University of Bologna, Western Europe's first university, rediscovered Corpus Juris Civilis, and its influence began to be felt across Western Europe. In 1388, the word civil appeared in English meaning "of or related to citizens". In 1704, civilization began to mean "a law which makes a criminal process into a civil case." Civilization was not used in its modern sense to mean "the opposite of barbarism" a" as contrasted to civility, meaning politeness or civil virtue a" until the 18th century.

According to Emile Benveniste (1954), the earlist written occurrence in English of civilization in its modern sense may be found in Adam Ferguson's An Essay on the History of Civil Society (Edinburgh, 1767 - p.2):

"

Not only the individual advances from infancy to manhood, but the species itself from rudeness to civilization.

"

It should be noted that this usage incorporates the concept of superiority and maturity of "civilized" existence, as contrasted to "rudeness", which is used to denote coarseness, as in a lack of refinement or "civility".

Before Benveniste's inquiries, the New English Dictionary quoted James Boswell's conversation with Samuel Johnson concerning the inclusion of Civilization in Johnson's dictionary:

"

On Monday, March 23 (1772), I found him busy, preparing a fourth edition of his folio Dictionary... He would not admit civilization, but only civility. With great deference to him I thought civilization, from to civilize, better in the sense opposed to barbarity than civility, as it is better to have a distinct word for each sense, than one word with two senses, which civility is, in his way of using it.

"

Benveniste demonstrated that previous occurrences could be found, which explained the quick adoption of Johnson's definition. In 1775 the dictionary of Ast defined civilization as "the state of being civilized; the act of civilizing, and the term was frequently used by Adam Smith in An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776). Beside Smith and Ferguson, John Millar also used it in 1771 in his Observations concerning the distinction of ranks in society.

As the first occurrence of civilization in French was found by Benveniste in the Marquis de Mirabeau's L'Ami des hommes ou traitA de la population (written in 1756 but published in 1757), Benveniste's query was to know if the English word derived from the French, or if both evolved independently a" a question which needed more research. According to him, the word civilization may in fact have been used by Ferguson as soon as 1759.

Furthermore, Benveniste notes that, contrasted to civility, a static term, civilization conveys a sense of dynamism. He thus writes that...

"

It was not only a historical view of society; it was also an optimist and resolutely non theological interpretation of its evolution which asserted itself, sometimes at the insu of those who proclaimed it, and even if some of them, and first of all Mirabeau, still counted religion as the first factor of 'civilization.[5]HYPERLINK l "cite_note-5"[6]

"

Another source of the word may relate to chivalry: a set of rules of engagement, originally for knights in warfare, but later expanded to cover conduct of knighthood or nobility. The English 'chivalry' comes from the French 'chevalier': a horseman. England and France would therefore have given rise to the terms at similar times.

Civilizations have distinctly different settlement patterns from other societies. The word civilization is sometimes defined as "a word that simply means 'living in cities'". Non-farmers gather in cities to work and to trade.

Compared with other societies, civilizations have a more complex political structure, namely the state. State societies are more stratified than other societies; there is a greater difference among the social classes. The ruling class, normally concentrated in the cities, has control over much of the surplus and exercises its will through the actions of a government or bureaucracy. Morton Fried, a conflict theorist, and Elman Service, an integration theorist, have classified human cultures based on political systems and social inequality. This system of classification contains four categories:

Highly stratified structuresCivilizations,

with complex social hierarchies and organized, institutional governments. or chiefdoms, with several inherited social classes: king, noble, freemen, serf and slave. Horticultural/pastoral societies in which there are generally two inherited social classes; chief and commoner. Hunter-gatherer bands, which are generally egalitarian.

Economically, civilizations display more complex patterns of ownership and exchange than less organized societies. Living in one place allows people to accumulate more personal possessions than nomadic people. Some people also acquire landed property, or private ownership of the land. Because a percentage of people in civilizations do not grow their own food, they must trade their goods and services for food in a market system, or be receive food through the levy of tribute, redistributive taxation, tarrifs or tithes from the food producing segment of the population. Early civilizations developed money as a medium of exchange for these increasingly complex transactions. To oversimplify, in a village the potter makes a pot for the brewer and the brewer compensates the potter by giving him a certain amount of beer. In a city, the potter may need a new roof, the roofer may need new shoes, the cobbler may need new horseshoes, the blacksmith may need a new coat, and the tanner may need a new pot. These people may not be personally acquainted with one another and their needs may not occur all at the same time. A monetary system is a way of organizing these obligations to ensure that they are fulfilled fairly.

Cultural identity

"Civilization" can also describe the culture of a complex society, not just the society itself. Every society, civilization or not, has a specific set of ideas and customs, and a certain set of items and arts, that make it unique. Civilizations have even more intricate cultures, including literature, professional art, architecture, organized religion, and complex customs associated with the elite. Civilization is such in nature that it seeks to spread, to have more, to expand, and the means by which to do this.

Nevertheless, some tribes or people remained uncivilized even to this day (2009). These cultures are called by some "primitive," a term that is regarded by others as pejorative. "Primitive" implies in some way that a culture is "first" (Latin = primus), and as all cultures are contemporaries today's so called primitive cultures are in no way antecedent to those we consider civilized. Many anthropologists use the term "non-literate" to describe these peoples. In the USA and Canada, where people of such cultures were the original inhabitants before being displaced by European settlers, they use the term "First Nations." Generally, the First Nations of North America had hierarchical governments, religion, and a barter system, and oral transmission of their traditions, cultures, laws, etc. Respect for the wisdom of elders and for their natural environment (7th Generation decision-making) sustained these cultures for over 10,000 years.

The civilized world has been spread by invasion, religious conversion the extension of bureaucratis control and trade, and by introducing agriculture, and writing to non-literate peoples. Some non-civilized people may willingly adapt to civilized behaviour. But civilization is also spread by force: if a non-literate group does not wish to use agriculture or accept a certain religion it is often forced to do so by the civilized people, and they usually succeed due to their more advanced technology, and higher population densities. Civilizations often use religion to justify its actions, claiming for example that the uncivilized are "primitive," savages, barbarians or the like, which should be subjugated by civilization.

The intricate culture associated with civilization has a tendency to spread to and influence other cultures, sometimes assimilating them into the civilization (a classic example being Chinese civilization and its influence on Korea, Japan, Vietnam and so forth, all of them sharing the fact that they belong to an East Asian civilization, sharing Confucianism, Mahayana Buddhism, a "Mandarin" class an educated understanding of Chinese ideograms and much else). Many civilizations are actually large cultural spheres containing many nations and regions. The civilization in which someone lives is that person's broadest cultural identity.

Whereas the etiology of civilization is Latin or Roman, defined above as the application of justice by "civil" means, one may also examine and reflect upon Jewish or Hebrew civilization. A Hebrew "civilization" is defined not as an expression or extension of the subjective trappings of culture and society, but rather as a human society and/or culture being an expression of objective moral and ethical moorings as they are known, understood and applied in accordance with the Mosaic Covenant.[citation needed] A "human" civilization, in Hebrew terms for instance, may contrast sharply with conventional notions about "civilization." A "human" civilization, therein, would be an expression and extension of the two most basic pillars of human "civilization." These two pillars are, honest standardized weights and measures and a moral and healthy constitution. Everything else, whether technology, science, art, music, etc., is by this definition considered as commentary. Indeed, to the degree the surface terrain of a human society, i.e., culture is "civilized," is to the degree the internal terrain (characteristics, personality or substance) of the people and leadership must also have been inoculated by, and inculcated with a moral foundation. The Biblically described Sodom, for instance, while being a society of people with a culture, would by Jewish or Biblical standards of "civility" have been uncivilized. And while the Roman sentiment is largely focused upon how justice must "appear" to be done in a "civil" manner, the Hebrew or Biblical approach to justice, in principle, is never limited to subjective pretenses or appearance, but more importantly, justice must be predicated upon objective principles. Ultimately, there is no true or lasting "civility" for any man in the absence of moral composure.[citation needed]

Many historians have focused on these broad cultural spheres and have treated civilizations as single units. One example is early twentieth-century philosopher Oswald Spengler,even though he uses the German word "Kultur," "culture," for what we here call a "civilization." He said that a civilization's coherence is based around a single primary cultural symbol. Civilizations experience cycles of birth, life, decline and death, often supplanted by a new civilization with a potent new culture, formed around a compelling new cultural symbol.

This "unified culture" concept of civilization also influenced the theories of historian Arnold J. Toynbee in the mid-twentieth century. Toynbee explored civilization processes in his multi-volume A Study of History, which traced the rise and, in most cases, the decline of 21 civilizations and five "arrested civilizations." Civilizations generally declined and fell, according to Toynbee, because of the failure of a "creative minority", through moral or religious decline, to meet some important challenge, rather than mere economic or environmental causes.

Samuel P. Huntington similarly defines a civilization as "the highest cultural grouping of people and the broadest level of cultural identity people have short of that which distinguishes humans from other species." Besides giving a definition of a civilization, Huntington has also proposed several theories about civilizations, discussed below.

Complex systems

Another group of theorists, making use of systems theory, looks at a civilization as a complex system, i.e., a framework by which a group of objects can be analyzed that work in concert to produce some result. Civilizations can be seen as networks of cities that emerge from pre-urban cultures, and are defined by the economic, political, military, diplomatic, and cultural interactions among them. Any organization is a complex social system, and a civilization is a large organization. Systems theory helps guard against superficial but misleading analogies in the study and description of civilizations.

For example, urbanist Jane Jacobs defines cities as the economic engines that work to create large networks of people. The main process that creates these city networks, she says, is "import replacement". Import replacement is the process by which peripheral cities begin to replace goods and services that were formerly imported from more advanced cities. Successful import replacement creates economic growth in these peripheral cities, and allows these cities to then export their goods to less developed cities in their own hinterlands, creating new economic networks. So Jacobs explores economic development across wide networks instead of treating each society as an isolated cultural sphere.

Systems theorists look at many types of relations between cities, including economic relations, cultural exchanges, and political/diplomatic/military relations. These spheres often occur on different scales. For example, trade networks were, until the nineteenth century, much larger than either cultural spheres or political spheres. Extensive trade routes, including the Silk Road through Central Asia and Indian Ocean sea routes linking the Roman Empire, Persian Empire, India, and China, were well established 2000 years ago, when these civilizations scarcely shared any political, diplomatic, military, or cultural relations. The first evidence of such long distance trade is in the ancient world. During the Uruk phase Guillermo Algaze has argued that trade relations connected Egypt, Mesopotamia, Iran and Afghanistan. Resin found later in the Royal Tombs of Ur it is suggested was traded northwards from Mozambique.

Many theorists argue that the entire world has already become integrated into a single "world system", a process known as globalization. Different civilizations and societies all over the globe are economically, politically, and even culturally interdependent in many ways. There is debate over when this integration began, and what sort of integration - cultural, technological, economic, political, or military-diplomatic - is the key indicator in determining the extent of a civilization. David Wilkinson has proposed that economic and military-diplomatic integration of the Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations resulted in the creation of what he calls the "Central Civilization" around 1500 BC. Central Civilization later expanded to include the entire Middle East and Europe, and then expanded to a global scale with European colonization, integrating the Americas, Australia, China and Japan by the nineteenth century. According to Wilkinson, civilizations can be culturally heterogeneous, like the Central Civilization, or relatively homogeneous, like the Japanese civilization. What Huntington calls the "clash of civilizations" might be characterized by Wilkinson as a clash of cultural spheres within a single global civilization. Others point to the Crusades as the first step in globalization. The more conventional viewpoint is that networks of societies have expanded and shrunk since ancient times, and that the current globalized economy and culture is a product of recent European colonialism.

Future

Political scientist Samuel HuntingtonHYPERLINK l "cite_note-13"[14] has argued that the defining characteristic of the 21st century will be a clash of civilizations. According to Huntington, conflicts between civilizations will supplant the conflicts between nation-states and ideologies that characterized the 19th and 20th centuries. These views have been strongly challenged by others like Edward Said and Mohammed Asudi. Ronald Inglehart and Pippa Norris have argued that the "true clash of civilizations" between the Muslim world and the West is caused by the Muslim rejection of the West's more liberal sexual values, rather than a difference in political ideology.

Currently, world civilization is in a stage that has created what may be characterized as an industrial society, superseding the agrarian society that preceded it. Some futurists believe that civilization is undergoing another transformation, and that world society will become a so-called informational society.

Some environmental scientists see the world entering a Planetary Phase of Civilization, characterized by a shift away from independent, disconnected nation-states to a world of increased global connectivity with worldwide institutions, environmental challenges, economic systems, and consciousness.[17]HYPERLINK l "cite_note-17" In an attempt to better understand what a Planetary Phase of Civilization might look like in the current context of declining natural resources and increasing consumption, the Global scenario group used scenario analysis to arrive at three archetypal futures: Barbarization, in which increasing conflicts result in either a fortress world or complete societal breakdown; Conventional Worlds, in which market forces or Policy reform slowly precipitate more sustainable practices; and a Great Transition, in which either the sum of fragmented Eco-Communalism movements add up to a sustainable world or globally coordinated efforts and initiatives result in a new sustainability paradigm.

The fall of civilizations

There have been many explanations put forward for the collapse of civilization. "The decline of Rome was the natural and inevitable effect of immoderate greatness. Prosperity ripened the principle of decay; the cause of the destruction multiplied with the extent of conquest; and, as soon as time or accident had removed the artificial supports, the stupendous fabric yielded to the pressure of its own weight. The story of the ruin is simple and obvious; and instead of inquiring why the Roman Empire was destroyed, we should rather be surprised that it has subsisted for so long."Jeffrey A. McNeely has recently suggested that "A review of historical evidence shows that past civilizations have tended to over-exploit their forests, and that such abuse of important resources has been a significant factor in the decline of the over-exploiting society."Peter Heather argues in his book The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the BarbariansHYPERLINK l "cite_note-20"[21] that this civilization did not end for moral or economic reasons, but because centuries of contact with barbarians across the frontier generated its own nemesis by making them a much more sophisticated and dangerous adversary. The fact that Rome needed to generate ever greater revenues to equip and re-equip armies that were for the first time repeatedly defeated in the field, led to the dismemberment of the Empire. Although this argument is specific to Rome, it can also be applied to the Asiatic Empire of the Egyptians, to the Han and Tang dynasties of China, to the Muslim Abbasid Caliphate, and others. Bryan Ward-Perkins, in his book The Fall of Rome and the End of CivilizationHYPERLINK l "cite_note-21" shows the real horrors associated with the collapse of a civilization for the people who suffer its effects, unlike many revisionist historians who downplay this. The collapse of complex society meant that even basic plumbing disappeared from the continent for 1,000 years. Similar Dark Age collapses are seen with the Late Bronze Age collapse in the Eastern Mediterranean, the collapse of the Maya, on Easter Island and elsewhere. Arthur Demarest argues in Ancient Maya: The Rise and Fall of a Rainforest CivilizationHYPERLINK l "cite_note-22" using a holistic perspective to the most recent evidence from archaeology, paleoecology, and epigraphy, that no one explanation is sufficient but that a series of erratic, complex events, including loss of soil fertility, drought and rising levels of internal and external violence led to the disintegration of the courts of Mayan kingdoms which began a spiral of decline and decay. He argues that the collapse of the Maya has lessons for civilization today. Thomas Homer-Dixon in "The Upside of Down: Catastrophe, Creativity, and the Renewal of Civilization", considers that the fall in the energy return on investments; the energy expended to energy yield ratio, is central to limiting the survival of civilizations. The degree of social complexity is associated strongly, he suggests, with the amount of disposable energy environmental, economic and technological systems allow. When this amount decreases civilizations either have to access new energy sources or they will collapse. Peter Turchin in his Historical Dynamics and Andrey Korotayev et al. in their Introduction to Social Macrodynamics, Secular Cycles, and Millennial Trends suggest a number of mathematical models describing collapse of agrarian civilizations. For example, the basic logic of Turchin's "fiscal-demographic" model can be outlined as follows: during the initial phase of a sociodemographic cycle we observe relatively high levels of per capita production and consumption, which leads not only to relatively high population growth rates, but also to relatively high rates of surplus production. As a result, during this phase the population can afford to pay taxes without great problems, the taxes are quite easily collectible, and the population growth is accompanied by the growth of state revenues. During the intermediate phase, the increasing overpopulation leads to the decrease of per capita production and consumption levels, it becomes more and more difficult to collect taxes, and state revenues stop growing, whereas the state expenditures grow due to the growth of the population controlled by the state. As a result, during this phase the state starts experiencing considerable fiscal problems. During the final pre-collapse phases the overpopulation leads to further decrease of per capita production, the surplus production further decreases, state revenues shrink, but the state needs more and more resources to control the growing (though with lower and lower rates) population. Eventually this leads to famines, epidemics, state breakdown, and demographic and civilization collapse (Peter Turchin.

Criticism

Civilization has been criticized from a variety of viewpoints and for a variety of reasons. Some critics have objected to all aspects of civilization; others have argued that civilization brings a mixture of good and bad effects.

Some environmentalists like Derrick JensenHYPERLINK l "cite_note-24" criticize civilizations for their exploitation of the environment. Richard Hienberg argues that through intensive agriculture and urban growth, civilizations tend to destroy natural settings and habitats, and deplete the resources on which it depends. This is sometimes referred to as "dominator culture". Proponents of this view believe that traditional societies live in greater harmony with nature than civilizations; people work with nature rather than try to subdue it. The sustainable living movement is a push from some members of civilization to regain that harmony with nature.

Primitivism is a modern philosophy totally opposed to civilization. Primitivists accuse civilizations of restricting human potential, oppressing the weak, and damaging the environment. They wish to return to a more primitive way of life which they consider to be in the best interests of both nature and human beings. Leading proponents are John Zerzan and Derrick Jensen, whereas a critic is Roger Sandall.

However, not all critics of past and present civilization believe that a primitive way of life is better. Some have argued that many negative aspects of current 'civilized' nations can be overcome. Karl Marx, for instance, argued that the beginning of civilization was the beginning of oppression and exploitation, but also believed that these things would eventually be overcome and communism would be established throughout the world. He envisioned communism not as a return to any sort of idyllic past, but as a new stage of civilization. Conflict theory in the social sciences also views the present form of civilization as being based on the domination of some people by others, but does not judge the issue morally.

Given the current problems with the sustainability of industrial civilization, some, like Derrick Jensen, who posits civilization to be inherently unsustainable, argue that we need to develop a social form of "post-civilization" as different from civilization as the latter was with pre-civilized peoples.

If you find yourself wandering the streets of your neighborhood in search of your escape artist dog, you might decide that it's time you did something about his wanderlust. The neighbors will probably thank you for keeping your dog in your own yard instead of ripping apart the garbage bags in their yards. Instead of keeping your dog on a runner and limiting his ability to wander in his own backyard, you can install a wireless dog fence and keep him on the right side of the boundaries.

The first thing you should do before you purchase your wireless dog fence is do a little research on the way that they work. One of the things that you will probably come up with in your research is the fact that the Humane Society approves them as being safe and humane. These fences are not meant to be a punishment to a dog. They should be used as a method to dissuade the dog from leaving his own yard.
These fences have become very popular with dog owners for keeping the dog in the yard and still keeping the look of a wide-open yard. They are also particularly low cost. Do the comparisons of regular fences and wireless fences and you will find that a wireless fence is actually lower in price. Many people find that they are a more aesthetically pleasing way to keep the dog in the yard as well.

The wireless dog fence system will come with a receiver that is worn on the dog with a collar and the transmitter that is put in the ground. There is also underground wiring that comes with an underground fence model. If your dog should cross over the wiring, the receiver in the collar will get a signal from the transmitter and get a very mild shock. There are even fences that give the dog an audio signal when they are getting too close to the fence. It is only when the audio signal is ignored that the dog gets the shock.

The shock is only supposed to be a deterrent. The dog will not be hurt by it. The wireless dog fence should always be used along with good training from you. The dog must be taught where the boundaries are and what will happen if he oversteps his bounds. It is not difficult to train a dog when you use the correct methods. They are very intelligent pets and they are easily taught the behavior that is expected of them. It is important that they understand that you are the leader of their pack.

You should take the time to do some research on the different dog-training methods and find one that you are comfortable with. You will have to try a few methods before you find the one that works for you and the dog.

If you wish to avoid all of the hassle of a dog that is going through female dog heat symptoms you should consider spaying your animal immediately. While some people believe that you should only spay a female dog after they have gone through their first heat cycle, others don't see any harm in avoiding the process altogether and getting her spayed young.

There are many benefits to spaying your female dog aside from the heat cycle. Spaying a dog will help them to live a long and healthy life. Veterinarians have said that if you spay your female dog before her first heat cycle she will have virtually no chance of developing mammary cancer during her lifetime. If you wait you will increase her chance to fewer than ten percent after one heat cycle. The risk increases the longer you wait. However, you should get your dog spayed immediately no matter how many cycles she has gone through.

Your female dog will also be at a greater risk for ovarian cancer during her lifetime if she is not spayed young. The symptoms of ovarian cancer are difficult to detect from the female dog heat symptoms and might go undetected until it is too late. A surgery that is similar to a spay will need to be performed, but it is much more complicated once the cancer is spreading.

There are many other health concerns that can be avoided by spaying your female dog before she experiences female dog heat symptoms. Diabetes, uterine infections and wandering away from home are just some of the things that can be avoided by spaying your beloved pet. There are also a great many risks to your dog that come along with pregnancy. There are still dogs, despite the best veterinary care that become ill and die during pregnancy and birthing.

There are millions of unwanted animals that flood the Humane Society across the country every year. You can do your part by making sure you spay your female dog before they experience female dog heat symptoms. The Humane Society recommends getting your animal spayed or neutered before the first signs of symptoms. The unwanted animals live lives of neglect and pain because they are not welcomed into homes by loving families. It is in everyone's interest to do the humane thing and keep these animals from reproducing without control. The least of the problems is dealing with the female dog heat symptoms.
