On June 28, Lt. Col. Roy Tisdale, a Texas A&M alum, was killed during a training exercise at Fort Bragg by another solder who then shot himself. The Westboro Baptist Church, known for protesting soldiers' funerals with anti-gay messages, posted plans to show up at Tisdale's funeral on their website.

A fellow "Aggie", Ryan Slezia, came up with a plan to create a human wall to block any protesters from getting near the funeral, and invited fellow Texas A&M students and alum to join. One participant tweeted that over 650 people showed up in maroon shirts to create a "maroon wall". It appears that the Westboro protestors never showed up.

But unlike a lot of the products those publications feature, these actually work.

Source: askanesthetician.files.wordpress.com

A poorly hidden secret of fashion magazines is that advertisers rule their editorial pages. If you wonder why the same brands or products are featured month in and month out, it’s not because they’re necessarily interesting or effective, it’s because they dish out a ton of money for ad space and employ aggressive publicists who will remind editors as such.

Last month I did a skincare story for a national magazine and a few of the products I originally wrote about were swapped out for big-budget brands. I was angry when I saw the issue because I knew a woman from Kentucky or Kansas would read the story, buy the products, and then quickly learn that they didn’t work. It’s a growing frustration among consumers, but unfortunately, that’s the industry. Don’t expect it to change any time soon.

Products often don't win awards without corporate bias either. In 2011 Halle Berry’s Pure Orchid perfume won a Fifi award in the Broad Appeal category (Coty, Inc.) and Clinique’s Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector won a CEW award in the Anti-Aging Prestige category (Estee Lauder). Neither were the best in their categories, in my opinion.

Many beauty products that don’t win awards and don’t have a tremendous ad budget and at times don't get a lot of press. So, here’s a list of ten of my favorite products from niche brands that are worth your cash.

Jay-Z was asked by CNN about what he thought about President Obama's recent endorsement of gay marriage. He's what he had to say:

“I’ve always thought it as something that was still holding the country back. What people do in their own homes is their business and you can choose to love whoever you love. That’s their business. It's no different than discriminating against blacks. It’s discrimination plain and simple...I think it's the right thing to do, so whether it costs him votes or not - again, it's not about votes. It's about people. It's the right thing to do as a human being.”

If you didn’t already know, Washington is REALLY CLOSE to passing gay marriage. This endorsement will surely help.

As other states recognize marriage equality, Washington's employers are at a disadvantage if we cannot offer a similar, inclusive environment to our talented employees, our top recruits and their families. Employers in the technology sector face an unprecedented national and global competition for top talent. Despite progress made in recent years with domestic partnership rights, same-sex couples in Washington still hold a different status from their neighbors. Marriage equality in Washington would put employers here on an equal footing with employers in the six other states that already recognize the committed relationships of same-sex couples - Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont. This in turn will help us continue to compete for talent.

This endorsement will surely help. mjs538 nonadult nonadult As other states recognize marriage equality, Washington&#39;s employers are at a disadvantage if we cannot offer a similar, inclusive environment to our talented employees, our top recruits and their families. Employers in the technology sector face an unprecedented national and global competition for top talent. Despite progress made in recent years with domestic partnership rights, same-sex couples in Washington still hold a different status from their neighbors. Marriage equality in Washington would put employers here on an equal footing with employers in the six other states that already recognize the committed relationships of same-sex couples - Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont. This in turn will help us continue to compete for talent. nonadult 60 Adorable Bats That'll Make Your Day http://www.buzzfeed.com/hgrant/60-adorable-bats-thatll-make-your-day I like the part where all of these bats exist.

Due to severe storms that have recently battered their coast, there’s been an epidemic of orphaned seals in the Netherlands. Fortunately, there are teams of selfless volunteers nursing these adorable castaways back to health.

Storms that have lashed the Dutch coast this year have created a wave of orphaned baby seals, some so young their umbilical cords are still attached, wrenched from their mothers and washed up on beaches and dikes. An existing seal rehabilitation and research center near the northern city of Groningen has been so inundated with pups and older seals in recent weeks it has erected a temporary tent to house them while they are nurtured back to health before being returned to the wild.
