How to

Insert

a Tampon

Insert a Tampon

Find the most relaxed position for your body while inserting the tampon. Raising one of your legs on a footstool or on the rim of a toilet makes the process easier. Here’s how to insert a tampon without any problems or discomfort.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

Tampons
Vaseline

Step 1

Buy tampons that are appropriate to your menstrual flow: light, average or heavy.
Step 2

Wash your hands with soap and hot water.
Step 3

Remove the tampon from the wrapper.
Step 4

Slide the applicator a few inches into the vagina (tampon side in), but not so far that you can’t hold the outer of the two tubes that make up the applicator.
Step 5

Push the inner tube into the outer tube, releasing the tampon into the vagina.
Step 6

Slide the applicator out.
Step 7

Make sure the tampon’s string remains outside the vagina.

How to

Boost

a Healthy

Bust

Boost a Healthy Bust

Fashionable ladies know that sexy cleavage is always in style, and that sagging breasts can look really untidy. However, the boob game isn’t always a sure bet – even when there are top stylists available to help make magic happen.

“Cosmopolitan Magazine” took a look at some top stars to see how they handle their bosom buddies. Even with the assistance of stylists and fab friends, dressing to accent a healthy bust is still a hit-or-miss proposition. Judging from pictures, it’s all too easy to crush, restrict, or otherwise flatten a really great bust line.

Take Lauren Conrad, for instance. Her small, youthful breasts end up becoming lost beneath a tight, confining evening dress bodice that offers little support, combined with an non-supportive open halter neckline. In Cosmopolitan’s opinion, “The wide straps [of her dress] press down on Lauren’s breasts, making them appear uneven.” The solution? Simple underwire cups, which lift and hold the breasts securely.

Also, never forget that the key to a healthy bust is good treatment and care of the breasts. This means regular breast self-examinations and mammograms – not just a drawer full of the latest Wonderbra. With proper dressing and good self-care, beautiful cleavage is just a moment’s dressing away.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

2008 wishuponacupcake / Creative Commons

Perform a breast self-examination every month right after your menstrual cycle to maintain breast health. According to the American Cancer Society, “an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women, [with] an estimated 40,170 women expected to die from the disease in 2009 alone.” For instructions on this quick, painless procedure, check the instructions from the American Cancer Society in the links below.
Step 2

If you’re over the age of forty, get a mammogram every year during your check-up. A mammogram is a deep scan of breast tissue that enables doctors to see hard-to-feel lumps and growths.

During the test, “the woman will be asked to undress from the waist up only and stand next to the x-ray machine. Two flat surfaces will compress one breast first, then the other for a few seconds.” The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month website urges these simple tests as valuable preventative measures, so don’t procrastinate.
Step 3

Enhance your healthy bust with beauty products and treatments that brighten and improve the look of cleavage. Regular exfoliation with a gentle body scrub, along with removal of extra hair from the area, will lead to more luminous cleavage. Because the bust skin is sensitive, avoid depilatories, body brushing or harsh scrubs in this area; a good wipe with a washcloth will do just fine.
Step 4

Make sure that your dress bodice fits your bustline. A too-restrictive bodice is common with strapless dresses, since women don’t want a wardrobe malfunction while out on the town. A surfeit of boning, or lots of structure, will kill cleavage by flattening it like a pancake.

Instead, do what Jennifer Hudson does – wear a dress with a flattering, looser bodice that allows a bit of movement and a maximum amount of natural curvature. Big and small girls alike benefit from a bodice that supports, lifts and separates, rather than pushing the ladies into submission.
Step 5

Fake bigger boobs with some visual trickery. Ladies’ Home Journal recommends a dusting of bronzer between the breasts: “Sweep a line of bronzer between breasts to create a shadow (the shadow that naturally occurs when you have cleavage). Be sure to blend so bronzer is nearly unnoticeable.”
Step 6

2008 Sew Ripped / Creative Commons

Wear the right foundation garments with your clothing, and get a proper bra fitting. An ill-fitting bra is one of the top reasons that breasts look awkward and saggy. Whether it’s at Victoria’s Secret or the neighborhood lingerie shop, a good fitting will put you on the right track for breast success. From there, it’s easy to obtain a suitable conventional, strapless, or long-line bra to suit practically any outfit.
Step 7

Add fabric to the bust area to make the breast seem bigger than they are. Do this by wearing gathers, pleats or ruffles around the bodice area. Jewelry also serves to increase cleavage. Dresses and clothing with a dark bottom half and light-colored top half also add some inches.

The point of prison, in fact the whole point of a judicial system is when you have committed a crime and served the state-mandated consequences of it are:

You are punished for your transgression
You recognize the error of your ways, or if you do not, then you are at least deterred from repeating the crime
Any victims feel a measure of vengeance

There are only three parts to it, and third ones pretty much down to the victim(s) thus leaving the state with two things to manage. Shouldn’t be particularly hard for a nation that’s been knocking around longer than most, managed to dominate most of the planet at one time or another and has exported it’s language, laws and science across the globe.

In short, punishment is something you should seek to avoid having repeated on you, and whilst being punished be provided some form of counselling to see where you went wrong, and how you can be placed onto a path that isn’t going to criminally inconvenience anyone when your sentence is completed.

Crime and Punishment. Criminal and Rehabilitation. Where is the complexity in understanding the relation between the left hand side of those, and the right hand side?

New Labour can’t understand it. In their little fucked-up corner of criminology you send a criminal to prison to get them out of your, and societies hair, for a while. It means you get numbers. And New Labour like numbers, it allows them to trot a large amount of meaningless statistics, compiled by meaningless civil servants, and delivered by some meaningless ministers to an uncaring public who’d just wish someone would do something about the little bastards turning their local area into something like the OK Corral.

Numbers mean it looks like they’re doing something, and that’s something else New Labour like. Being seen to be doing something. Doesn’t matter is there’s no end product, it’s the display of effort that counts in their minds. After close to 12 years people are getting a little tired at seeing their taxes being flung in the general direction of a problem without any plan, thought or strategy in sight.

So now we have the VOO, or Violent Offender Orders, which are described as ‘ASBO style’, which given ASBO’s have been abject failures and turned into the junior criminal fraternities version of a Scout badge, isn’t high praise or placing a high bar on success.

Essentially New Labour have decided that since their punishments don’t work, and their feeble attempts at rehabilitation don’t work, and they really could do with a bit more prison space, so people who have served their time can be punished further. Not sure how that’ll fly with Human Rights Act, but the Howard League for Penal Reform are already bashing it.

Rather than combating their failure of caretaking the judicial system, they’re plastering over the faults and hoping the whole thing will stick together. Just like the bunch of political cowboys they are.

ASBO’s, VOO’s and their ilk are implicit admissions of utter failure, and the fact people have lost faith in the ability of the police, courts and prisons to do their functions shows that’s its not lost on the general public.

You do the crime, you do the time. On occasion the time may be longer than you’ll live, and that is reflective of the severity if what you’ve done. But if your crime attracts a length of time within your lifespan, then that should be it – slate cleansed. Sure, the state needs to keep track of what you’ve done, so if you do another crime your past exploits can be taken into account for sentencing.

But if you keep your nose clean, that should be that. Now though the state wants to keep punishing you, which means either they haven’t done their job properly, or they’re just bastards. Or both.

If you are not rehabilitated, or not suitable chastised, you should not be freed. That is the point of justice, it isn’t a bloody holiday camp, it’s not there to temporarily keep criminals out of society.

Crime and Punishment. Criminal and Rehabilitation. They used to be linked, time to reforge them.

Sarkisian Abruptly Cancels Press Meeting

By Ara Khachatourian

The message from Sunday’s protest

Late Sunday evening, officials at Horizon television received a call from Armenian Consulate staff informing them that a scheduled press meeting with President Sarkisian on Monday was canceled. Moments later, another phone call confirmed that, in fact, a briefing with the press would take place but instead of the president, his assistant, Vigen Stepanyan would address reporters’ questions.

Only three television channels—Horizon TV, H1 and USA Armenia—were invited to take part in the exclusive television discussion with the president. It never took place.

Instead reporters were treated to a haphazardly organized meeting at the Beverly Hilton. Upon their arrival, the reporters were seated in a room awaiting Stepanyan. Moments later, the journalists were informed that there would be a change of venue, eventually settling in at the lobby of the hotel for an “informal” question and answer.

The entire Diaspora tour has been carefully crafted to exclude the press. Despite curtailing participation of the more than 20 or so news outlets in Los Angeles, we were encouraged and were anticipating the television discussion with the president. However, the abrupt cancellation and reformatting of the event signaled a blatant and reckless disregard toward the press. This approach has been the hallmark of the Sarkisian administration from the onset of the protocol process, if not earlier.

In Armenia, the voices of dissent toward the protocols are also not being heard, as the mainly state-run media, with the widest reach across the country, is misinforming the public on the extent of opposition to the protocols.

This recent admonition of the media goes to strengthen the argument that the much-hailed Diaspora tour—“pan Armenian tour”—is nothing but a choreographed publicity stunt to avail the president of his responsibility to include the Diaspora in this critically important national issue.

The public outrage and disapproval of the protocols has been quite evident thus far on the Diaspora tour. Protesters in France were violently beaten by police, providing fodder for the Turkish media, which immediately labeled the protesters as unruly.

If the president’s aim was to elevate his and the Armenian people’s image he has failed miserably because not only has he alienated the Diaspora, he has also created the image of nation divided. Sarkisian’s callous approach to this matter also paved the way for Turkish president Abdullah Gul to wag his finger and say that if the Diaspora were truly concerned about the Armenia’s future it would support the protocols and encourage peace in the Caucasus.

The president and his apparatus can rest assured that despite their meticulous efforts to shut out the press, we remained vigilant to our mission and provided the most in-depth coverage of his visit, not only from the protest but also from within the community meeting with constant updates on Twitter and Facebook. We did, however, exercise our right to not cover the gala banquet honoring the president, deeming the event tactless and insulting.

It has become increasingly clear to our audience that the key figure in this charade, namely president Sarkisian, has been missing in action. His refusal to appear in public or address the press shows a level of cowardice that further increases the inherent risks of the entire protocol process.

October 5 – Alexander Keith – Fact of the Day

Nova Scotian brewer and politician Alexander Keith was born on October 5, 1795 in Caithness-shire, Scotland. Keith traveled to Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1817 and bought a brewery in Halifax in 1820. He was elected to the first Halifax city council in 1841 and was elected mayor in 1843, and again in 1853 and 1854. He was president of the North British Society from 1831 until his death in 1873, was on the Legislative Council for 30 years, and was the provincial grand master for the freemasons between 1840 and 1873. In modern times, he is most remembered for his brewery, and his birthday is marked every year by Haligonians (people from Halifax) by visiting his grave and leaving bottles and bottlecaps from his brewery.

Floggin Molly

Wikipedia

Flogging Molly is a seven-piece American Celtic punk band that formed in Los Angeles, California and is currently signed to SideOneDummy Records.

Early years

Prior to forming Flogging Molly, Dave King was the vocalist for heavy metal band Fastway featuring guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke of Motörhead in the early to mid 80’s. He later fronted a hard rock band called Katmandu (1991), featuring Mandy Meyer of Krokus on guitars. Afterwards, Dave King retained a record deal with Epic records and began to work on a solo album, but began to reconsider his record deal when the label opposed his idea of bringing in traditional Irish instruments. King negotiated out of his record deal to go his own way musically soon after.

In 1993, King met guitarist Ted Hutt, bassist Jeff Peters, and fiddle player Bridget Regan and put together a rock band with a celtic feel. They played a Los Angeles pub called Molly Malones for a couple of years building a small, but loyal following. Together they wrote songs such as Devil’s Dance Floor and Black Friday Rule, which was the beginning of Flogging Molly’s unique sound. Ted and Jeff then left Flogging Molly because a prior band of theirs received a record deal. Dave and Bridget then began to meet the new members and the current band was formed.

They continued a routine of playing every Monday night at Molly Malone’s. Then 17-year old Nathen Maxwell snuck into a show as a fan and soon after joined the band.[1] They put out a live album, Alive Behind the Green Door in 1997. In an interview with Kerrang! magazine, King stated that the band’s name comes from the bar (Molly Malone’s) that faithfully supported the band from the very beginning, “We used to play there every Monday night and we felt like we were flogging it to death, so we called the band Flogging Molly.” They were signed onto SideOneDummy Records after a show when the record company’s owners attended a concert and noted their intensity.
Career

Flogging Molly has released an independent (26f Records) live album titled Alive Behind the Green Door, as well as four studio albums: Swagger, Drunken Lullabies, Within a Mile of Home, and Float; and an acoustic/live DVD/cd combo Whiskey on a Sunday. They have toured with the Warped Tour, Larry Kirwan’s American Fléadh Festival and contributed to the Rock Against Bush project. They have sold in excess of a million and a half copies of recorded output as of December 6, 2006.[2]

On March 13, 2007, the band released an exclusive EP through iTunes entitled Complete Control Sessions. The EP includes two new tracks, as well as acoustic versions of previously released songs. On December 3, 2007 the band announced through an e-mail to their subscribers that their upcoming album would be called Float.

On March 4, 2008 Flogging Molly released Float, an album dubbed “One of the most important CDs of the year, if not the decade” by Alternative Press. Flogging Molly also recognized the album as influential to their career as their first album recorded in Ireland (though mixed in California) by producer Ryan Hewitt. Fans met the release with great anticipation and enthusiasm, landing it at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. This release marks the highest chart position for SideOneDummy and the Celtic Punk genre in general. The album includes the band’s first two chart singles, “Requiem for a Dying Song” which hit #35 on the Billboard Modern Rock charts [3] and “Float” which hit #40 on the same chart [4]. Another accolade came to the band in June 2009 when their album “Drunken Lullabies” went gold.[5]

While touring to support Float Dave and Bridget were married in a private ceremony in Tokyo, Japan.

Bridget is currently pregnant with the couple’s first child.
Musical style

Flogging Molly’s music is influenced by bands such as The Pogues, The Dubliners, Stiff Little Fingers, and The Clash. Dave King says the Pogues were a huge influence. The album Within a Mile of Home is dedicated to Joe Strummer and Johnny Cash.

Their music ranges from boisterous celtic punk, like the pirate-themed “Salty Dog”, “Cruel Mistress”, and “Seven Deadly Sins”, or the defiant “What’s Left of the Flag”, “Drunken Lullabies”, and “Rebels of the Sacred Heart” to more sombre songs like “Far Away Boys”, “The Son Never Shines (On Closed Doors)”, and “Float.” Lyrics typically touch on subjects such as Ireland and its history, drinking, politics, love, death, and include several references to the Roman Catholic Church. “What’s Left of the Flag” was written as a tribute to King’s father who passed away while he was a young boy.[6]

Disney veteran animator visits campus

obsidiangirl — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 06:27:24 +0000

At an event hosted by the Pencil Mileage Club on Friday, Sept. 18, Eric Goldberg, popular Disney animator, paid Cal State Fullerton’s Titan Theater a visit.

He came to talk to animation students about bringing their character to life on screen.

Goldberg is responsible for the Genie from “Aladdin.” He also directed, wrote, and was lead animator for “Rhapsody in Blue” from “Fantasia 2000,” and is the supervising animator for the trumpet-playing crocodile, Louis, in the new Disney movie “The Princess and the Frog.”

The seminar, originally scheduled to take place in the Visual Arts Lecture Hall, was so popular it had to be moved to the Titan Theater to hold all the excited animation and illustration majors.

Armando Torres, 19, a sophomore animation major, was one of the many students to arrive early. “I’m hoping for a little insight on the professional world,” said Torres. “And who isn’t a fan of Disney?”

Goldberg received room-shaking applause upon his introduction and then jumped right into the lecture.
The lecture consisted of stories from the Disney animation studios.

His stories and examples from past works taught students about using lines of action, frame timing sheets called “X sheets,” understanding archetypes, and the benfits of believing your character exists.

It even involved audience interaction where the theater as a group created a character.

The result was “a fat, short, anthropomorphic, female tapir drawing conceitedly.”

Goldberg originally began his career in filmmaking and animation by making short films at USC.

He eventually won a scholarship to attend Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York where he majored in illustration while taking animation and film courses on the side.

After moving to London with his wife, he started up his own successful animation studio called Pizazz Pictures that did animation for television.

Shortly after some success in commercial animation and his work on “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” Disney eventually came knocking on his door and recruited him to lend a hand in making Disney history.

Ever since, he has played a key role in the creation of some of Disney’s most memorable characters and movie moments.
Outside of Disney he has worked on a short film called “A Monkey’s Tale,” made for a Buddhist cultural center in Hong Kong.

The short film received many laughs from the audience in the Titan Theater.

As a supervising animator on “The Princess and the Frog,” Goldberg is more than happy to see Disney finally returning to a 2-D animated fairy tale.

“It’s about time,” Goldberg said. “I think it’s very important for all of us at Disney to continue in the tradition and the legacy that all the greats started for us.”

A key element to “The Princess and the Frog” is that it introduces a new African American princess into the Disney universe.

“By and large, we are doing what most people think Disney does best and I think it’s time for Disney to do that again,”
Skylar Smith

Goldberg said, regarding the introduction of the new princess, Tiana.

Throughout the lecture, Goldberg made it clear that the best way to bring characters to life is to believe in them, and to follow the traditional structures set forth by the founders of the industry.

Even with many advances in technology the process has not changed much for him.

“You know what, it’s structured the same way but the tools are far more sophisticated,” Goldberg said. “We’ve been doing digital coloring since ‘The Rescuers Down Under.’ So to a certain extent I don’t think it’s the technology that’s improved; it’s all down to the people who are doing it and the choices they make. Tools are tools.”

After the recent acquisition of Marvel by Disney, people have been wondering about the future of Marvel projects within the Disney company.

To whether or not Goldberg would like to animate, direct or even lend voice talent to a Marvel project, he said: “Nobody’s asked be, but if they do it’s certainly interesting.”

The Pencil Mileage Club and the Visual Arts department have many more events like this planned throughout the semester.

Dana Lamb, art professor and the coordinator for the entertainment art and animation program, said, “We’ve been working directly with the studios for years … 12 years now.”

Jack Kelly

Last Sunday, Kanye West did something that sent the pop culture world into a frenzy. He committed the unthinkable. He interrupted someone.

For those that don’t know the specifics, Kanye West burst on stage in the middle of Taylor Swift’s Video Music Awards acceptance speech, grabbed the microphone and said Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.

Uncalled for, certainly. But I was hardly offended, even though I’m a (gulp) big Taylor Swift fan. I thought it was funny, and just another big-headed, disillusioned celebrity being a moron. I never could have imagined the ensuing backlash. Who knew this many Americans were so passionate about the hurt feelings of a 19-year-old girl they’ve never met?

Facebook statuses and Twitter exploded with people lambasting Kanye’s actions. The public responses ranged from the civil, P. Diddy: “I’m gonna say this, we should always have respect for each other! End of discussion,” to the insane, Pink: “Kanye West is the biggest piece of s*** on earth. Quote me,” to the hilarious: Ricky Martin: “Kanye – kanye what an a****** dude.”

But the most interesting thing (aside from the fact that MTV evidently still plays music videos) is how passionate non-celebrities got about the whole situation.

I don’t understand our country’s celebrity obsession in the same way I don’t understand some girls’ affinity for exclamation points in texts and using more letters than necessary to ssspell outtt what they neeeeed to sayyy. It happens, and there has to be some sort of reason for it. It’s just over my head.

Case in point: Somebody actually wrote a Craigslist posting titled “Kanye Sucks!” at 12:30 a.m. the night of the VMAs. Someone, who is at least smart enough to use a computer, took the time out of their day to write an inane, rambling post that touched on racism, Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst and a suggestion of our nation’s devolution into another civil war. I’m serious. Look it up.

More insanity erupted involving football player Shawne Merriman. Last week he was accused by his girlfriend, reality TV star Tila Tequila, of domestic abuse. The case has since been dropped, but at the time it received a ton of media attention, unlike dozens of other accusations involving athletes that aren’t nearly as reported. Because, who cares if you beat your girlfriend if she isn’t famous?

Also last week, one of the featured news stories on CNN was LA Laker Lamar Odom getting engaged to Khloe Kardashian, who after a quick Internet search, I found is a “celebutante” and “socialite.” Really? Who finds that news useful?

And there’s no end in sight. Our obsession with celebrities has moved past real celebrities and on to fabricated ones. If I’m in the grocery store checkout line and I see one more magazine with Jon or Kate or Octomom on the cover, I swear to Heidi Montag I’ll go on a Chris Crocker-esque tirade.

See? I’m actually mad at myself for understanding that sentence.

Why are we so consumed by the lives of these people? What makes us so interested in the minutiae of their day-to-day lives? Is it that ours are so mundane by comparison? I hope not. Just look around. I’m sure you can find just as much drama, conflict and humor in you and your friends’ lives. Just because it’s not televised, doesn’t make it unimportant or not worth paying attention to.

There are definitely better ways to spend our time than reading about and discussing the trials and tribulations of public figures. So let’s move past Kanye’s freak-out. He’s heard enough. And we’ve got bigger problems to address. Besides, he’s probably just upset that everyone still thinks he’s a gay fish.
