Media portrayal of women has sunk to an all time low, once upon a time we could watch a movie and see a beautiful woman look back at us, now we are bombarded with images of women who are clearly anorexic, have more botox than should be allowed injected into their faces, lips and god knows where else.

Nowadays a woman who has curves and wears a size 8 or 10 “gasp” is now considered a plus size model, did Marilyn Monroe seem like a woman who was plus size? For our generation she is fat, so is Kate Winslet and many other normal women, would Marilyn be a sex symbol if she were around today? If Kate Winslet gets called pudgy by the media, Marilyn would be practically diagnosed as obese. In reality, curves like hers don’t come with a size 4, definitely not without extensive surgery on not only her breasts, but also the hips and butt.

Women come in all shapes and sizes and i certainly know that some women are naturally thin and they eat good i have a sister like that. Women aren’t stupid we know when someone looks unhealthy and malnourished. The fashion world, music world, movie world all exploit women, but have you ever noticed how the majority of male fashion designers are homosexuals? Obviously they have no sexual desire for women so they think that women who have the body of a teenage boy is acceptable. Most women in order to get a body like that don’t eat or take care of themselves, their skin becomes dry, their bones pertrude through their skin, their hair becomes lifeless, and their menstrual cycles cease to function, their body is now is conserve mode, so in order to function on the minuscule food it is being fed it now holds onto it in order to survive and the rest of the body suffers and becomes a shell rather than a vessel.

Our daughters deserve better than to be raised in a world where all that matters is how they look. We have so many women to admire from so many different Era’s. They need to be raised to feel beautiful without excessive operations being done to them in order to get there, they need to know how to have a well balanced diet, we need to instill in them confidence and courage. Let’s raise our future daughters to feel strong and beautiful in their own skin, if we let them fall into this pit of self loathing it will lead to a life that is not truly being lived. In order for our race to survive and once again become strong and fruitful we need strong women who know who they are inside and out and embrace them both equally..

Now Over To You Ladies and Gents..

I know what you mean Vicky, I refuse to let my girls even watch any TV unless it is something I have pre-approved. Today’s standards have diminished from wholesome family, to “sex sells”.
Making our girls believe that they have to look like anorexic, runway models, or a plastic barbie doll to be considered beautiful, and accepted. It infuriates me.

Its sad , I try and tell my daughters when they see magazines and such what they do to the pictures to make the women look like that. And I tell them how beautiful they are everyday! The last thing I want is for them to think they need to look like that and have low self esteem. I think women need to mass boycott advertisement and entertainment that uses a skewed body image, but it will probably never happen.

Hollywood’s starlets have been going under the knife for decades..but the work always looked more natural looking..these new procedures do nothing to enhance beauty..they take away from it..I can’t for the life of me understand..why any woman gets the lip injections..I have never seen a case where it looks remotely normal.

A sense of modesty and decency is important for us to instill in our young women. I see a lot of teenagers around here looking like whores, excessive makeup, jewelry and tons of skin showing. When I was a teenager I wasn’t allowed makeup until I was 18 or a halter top. The only thing I was allowed to use was mascara, lipstick and perfume. To this day I still don’t wear a lot of makeup. It takes me about 5 minutes to get ready.

I think topics like these are good. We women owe it to our daughters to install a sense of pride in them and not allow them to be sucked into a vain narcissistic personality.

White women are naturally beautiful, why let a surgeon mess with all those years of evolution? I can see cosmetic surgery for things like cleft lip/palates or if someone were to get a boob job after getting a mastectomy due to cancer, or facial reconstruction after catastrophic incidences, but the rest of these procedures are vain and daft.

I work with a 19 year old female , she has already had two breast jobs, and gets botox injections regularly ! Why does any woman need botox , especially at 19 ?

These so called “supermodels” we see prancing up and down the catwalk are disgusting ! Most of them, in my opinion , look like they have AIDS . But that’s what you get in an industry run by fags and Jews . They want the models to look like ten year old boys , because that’s what these freaks are attracted to . I don’t know any blokes who find these stick insects appealing .

Beauty is determined by the Person, now I’m not talking about ”beauty is in the eye of the beholder” although I reckon that does go far in a relationship. But I mean What I find beautiful can be very different from what you believe to be beautiful, (I know that all Aryan Woman are beautiful and have at least one unique thing, not that thing being white), while watching X-factor one time my cousin said that ”chery cole was pretty even though she was a race mixer” now I personally do not think she is (and its not due to the fact she is married to A Negro) I know that she is ”pretty” as she is Aryan but other then that I simply see no attraction.

As for surgery yes a little can be ok to fix a flaw e.g.(a Streisand Nose), but I can never agree on older women getting it, one of the great thing in a man’s life is to look at his wife of 40 yrs and still see that his wife can be beautiful without the help of surgery.

The time when curves (which I prefer) were sexy has unfortunately passed, I have no problem with skinny woman but when it is ”Model” skinny I feel sick at the sight. Although this phase may just be that a phase in History the idea of what is sexy has changed many times for instance Obesity was once the sexy thing.

I think the majority of men expect women to look like page 3 models, plastic barbies or skinny catwalk skeletons but this is because the media have pushed this image for so long. I don’t think its something that can be changed for a long long time, as long as there is money to be made these freaks will be on our televisions, in our newspapers, making CD’s etc.

Yogurt pots are difficult to recycle. Yogurt pots are made from polystyrene, which is a plastic that is not typically recycled. Since you can’t recycle yogurt pots.

* As with all plastic containers, where possible keep them for storage, i use mine for small items like push pins, paper clips, and other smaller bits and bobs that have no home.

* You can also use them for filling with fruit squash or juice before freezing to make ice pops, i also use mine to make my own sugar free jello / jelly and i add small bits of fruit to the bottom.

* Schools & playgroups may use the larger yogurt containers as craft materials so ask your child’s teacher about this, you can also use them for crayons, cotton balls, paint brushes etc.

* They can be used in the garden as pots for seedlings.

* They can be cut into strips and used as plant labels. You just need a permanent marker to write on them as the elements to tend to smudge markers that are not water proof.

* Puncture the bottom of 2 pots, thread a string between them, and then children can use them as a cheap telephone, easy and lot’s of fun for your children.

I don’t know if any of you eat cereals regularly although last weekend i was at the supermarket and i started wondering about doing my own mix of muesli. I usually buy wild berry organic muesli that are pretty expensive so i decided try to make my own and see if it was cost effective. I bough a pack of whole wheat cereal, whole chocolate corn flakes and oat, then i bought a pack of dried fruits mix with nuts, almonds and all that stuff and a pack of dried cranberries. I then mixed that all together and with the same money i got 4 times more muesli.

A pack of organic wild berries muesli here would cost around 8 to 10€ for 0.5kg. making my own muesli (all organic too) i spent around 10€ and i got almost 2kg of it. So right now i cannot understand why i spent all that money for all these years..

Menstrual pain is nothing more than cramps in your uterus muscles. Despite being only cramps for some women these are the worst pain they ever felt. Most women had felt these at least once in their lives. Age, pregnancy or birth control pills can make this pain stop although for those who do not use birth control pills and don’t plan on being pregnant here are a few tips.

1. Take a hot shower, try to keep warm or put over your kidneys or belly a hot water bag. This will help you to relax your muscles.

2. Eat vitamin B6, C and E, it will help to relax your uterus. (Useful food: spinach, whole bread, eggs, oranges, olive oil, sea food.)

3. Have sex regularly: Sexual activity will make you to exercise your uterus muscles. Some experts say that having sex at least 4 times a week should be enough to relax the muscles. Also if you are in awful pain and the blood do not bother you or your partner, have sex. The pain will go away right away. This is the most natural away to get rid of these pains and have been reported to be used by ancient women.

4. Avoid eating salt and drink plenty of water so you don’t have any excess salt in your body and do not get so bloated.

5. Avoid getting cold and wear no shoes inside. Don’t go outside with your hair wet or take too long to dry yourself after a shower. This will make your body temperature get lower. If it is winter wear long shirts so your belly and kidneys are warm.

6. Do exercise regularly; even if you feel you cannot move with the pain, go walk and get fresh air, the pain will start to go away slowly although some women rather rest, staying quite in some cases can even make the pain worse.

7. Do not stress, or get angry. This will make your relaxing process stop and probably will make the pain worst.

8. Drink relaxing teas like chamomile. The tea will make you warm and relaxed.

9. Have a massage or ask someone to massage your belly or kidneys. Massaging help to relieve the pain.

Many parents are concerned about their child’s thumbsucking. Wondering if its harmful and at what age it should stop.

Infants and young children suck on things because it makes them feel secure and helps them to learn about their world. Young children often use thumbsucking to soothe themselves. They find it relaxing often using it to fall asleep.

Thumbsucking does not cause a problem with teeth until the permanent front teeth come in(beginning about age 6). The strength of sucking determines whether or not dental problems will occur. Children who rest their thumbs in their mouths are less likely to have problems than those who vigorously suck their thumbs.

Here are a few tips to help your child stop:

1. Offer praise for not sucking.
2. Remember that children often suck their thumbs to feel secure. Focus on correcting the cause of the anxiety and comfort your child.
3. Reward children when they avoid sucking during difficult times.
4. Your dentist can explain to your child what could happen to their teeth if they do not stop.
5. Relax. Remember that most children stop on their own before any problem occur.

3 cups diced rhubarb
1 1/2 cups strawberries
3/4 c sugar
Pie crust dough, enough for top and bottom

Mix the cut rhubarb and strawberries together in a bowl, and gently toss with the sugar. Let the mixture rest to allow the juices to drip to the bottom of the bowl. Let it sit for approximately a half hour.

Divide the dough in half, and roll out both pieces.

Place one crust in a 9″ pie shell. you can buy premade pie crust or make the pastry yourself, i buy the premade pastry as i am horrible at making it lol. Add the rhubarb mixture and pour the juice over top evenly.

You can form a lattice by cutting strips and placing them over top, or simply lay the crust down over the pie, i lay it over the pie in one piece.

Trim edges, and crimp down using a fork.

Bake at 350F for 40 to 50 minutes.

2.   Nature’s Laws evidence the Divine Plan, as the natural world is the work of All-Father.

3.   Act nobly and courageously, always carefully considering the consequences, as the effects of your deeds live on after you pass from Midgard.

4.   Live within the reality of this life; fear not your fate, as fear is for fools and cowards. A valorous man boldly faces what the Norns decree.

5.   Love, protect, reproduce, and advance your Folk; as natural instinct prohibits miscegenation and self destruction.

6.   Be honest, be disciplined, be productive and loyal to friends, as the Aryan spirit strives for excellence in all things.

7.   Treasure your history, your heritage, and racial identity as your ancestors have entrusted. It falls with you, it will rise with you.

8.   Honor the memory of your kith and kin, especially those who have given their lives or freedom for the Folk, as your race lives on through your blood and your will.

9.   Respect the wisdom of your elders, as every moment of your lives links the infinite past with the infinite future.

10.   Honor your mate, provide for your children, and carry no quarrel with family to sleeptime, as family is your purpose and fulfillment.

11.   May your word to a kinsmen be a Bond of Steel, as your troth is your dignity and strength of character.

12.   Be cunning as the fox with enemies and Skraelings, as their goal is your extinction.

13.   Secure, Defend, and Cherish your homeland as Nature’s Territorial Imperative demands.

14.   Live in harmony with Nature and the Folk, and compromise not with evil; as racial survival is your perpetual struggle.

Elizabeth’s father, although a devout member of a Quaker family, highly disapproved of her rigid code of life, he felt that an attractive young girl like herself ought not waste her youth in this manner. So he welcomed Joseph Fry, who had fallen in love with Elizabeth’s flaxen haired, unassuming beauty and devout nature, and invited him to Earlham to encourage their match. After much persuasion and Joseph’s promise never to hinder her in her charity work, she accepted him.

In 1800,when Elizabeth was just 20, they married, and went to live in St. Mildred’s Court London. Joseph was wealthy, but Elizabeth would have no useless ornaments about her, but they kept an open house in the manner of Quakers, and entertaining the advent of children in rapid succession kept her very busy. Soon she began to visit the London poor and she was appointed the visitor of the Islington workhouse. She was still unsatisfied.

In 1811 she was recorded a minister in the custom of Friends, an honour which she greatly appreciated. She arranged schools for the poor, depots for the distribution of garments, medicines, and food, and learnt how to vaccinate, believing strongly in the efficacy of the operation. She began to address meetings, and through the power of her voice she was to achieve one of the greatest reforms of the time.

Still unsatisfied, Elizabeth Fry became interested in prison life; prisoners in those days were subject to appalling conditions and treatment, even for the most minor of crimes. Hundreds died of starvation and of filthy diseases caused by foul air and herding together. Men and women, murderers, lunatics, debtors, pickpockets and children were all thrown together in stinking underground cellars without light or bedding. Drink was sold to anyone who could pay, and no limit was set to the amount consumed. “At every session, criminals in scores were sentenced to death. Even as late as 1833. Sentence of death was passed on a child of nine who poked a stick through a pane of glass and stole tubes of paint worth two pence.”

Elizabeth Fry first visited the infamous Newgate prison in 1813. She found 300 women with their numerous progeny lying about on the floor in a state of incredible filth, unclassified, unemployed, and abandoning themselves entirely to bad language, fighting, and lawlessness. Those with money bribed the jailers for drink.

The Women were so depraved that even the governor of the prison only entered cells reluctantly. Elizabeth, however, had her own ideas as to the cause of their depravity, and was not deterred. Her heart was especially filled with pity for the children she saw there, what chance would they have in life after being subjected to such experiences?

When she first entered the cells, faced with a crowd of infuriated women, she had to quickly win their trust. She spotted two women stripping a dead child for rags to put on a boy, four or five years old, who was playing by their side. She quickly strode towards them and picked up the grimly little toddler, then she held up her hand imploringly “Friends”, she said, “many of you are mothers, I, too, am a mother. I am distressed for your children. Is there not something we can do for these innocent ones? Do you want them to grown up to become real prisoners themselves? Are they to learn to be thieves, and worse?”

She had struck the only chord in their hearts that still rang true. Their hard, fierce hatred fell from them as at the touch of a magician. Here was someone who might save their children. After winning the women’s attention and trust, she appealed to them to cooperate with her in some scheme for educating the children. Elizabeth Fry saw her new friends as women who could be made respectful and useful.

Though the response from the women was great and touching, Elizabeth was unable to return to the prison for some time due to her own family matters. She gave birth to another child, and two people in her family died, one of her other children, and her brother. With illness, trouble and a family that numbered nice to care for, she had to leave the prisoners alone for sometime.

When Elizabeth’s sister, Rachel, took four of her girls to the country and her boys were placed in school, she was able to return to the prison where se started a school for the children under a governess chosen among the prisoners.

With a committee of 12 women she devoted herself entirely to the reformation of the women prisoners, and separated the children from their contaminating presence. The city sheriffs had said “ it was vain hope that such turbulent spirits would submit to the regulations of a woman, armed with no legal authority, and unable to inflict any punishment!”

But Elizabeth persevered with the women and “they saw no more shameless creatures, half naked and half drunk. The prison no longer resounded with obscenity and licentious songs, but it exhibited the appearance of an industrious factory of well regulated family.”

In 1817 Elizabeth Fry found the association for the improvement of Female Prisoners in Newgate, with the object of establishing separation of the sexes, classification of criminals, female supervision for women, religious and secular instruction, and useful employment. The improvements that resulted soon became obvious, and other institutions became interested and desirous of adopting similar methods. But it is certain that the first great step, the winning of the sympathies of the most desperate set of women in London, was necessary before authority could be won over, and only such a woman as Elizabeth Fry could have done this. She seems to have had some special magnetism in her; one woman, sentenced to death, was so desperate that she could not be managed, but when Elizabeth entered she became perfectly docile. Hangings were frequent in those days – The Old Bailey alone put to death about a hundred victims a year.

Elizabeth strove to procure the release of a young girl, sentenced to death for circulating forged notes under the influence of the man she loved. This brought her into conflict with Lord Sidmouth, who believed firmly in killing off even mild criminals, and she did not succeed in obtaining reprieve of the girl, who was hanged.

Though she failed to mitigate the severity of sentences, her work in connection with prison conditions was eminently successful. In 1818 she visited the Scottish prisons with her brother, Joseph John Gurney, where she found the usual horrible conditions prevailing. One man had been fastened for several days to an iron bar with his legs passed through rings some feet apart. He was unable to rest or undress, and the position amounted to slow torture. Elizabeth’s pleadings for the alleviation of his distress were unavailing. She also saw five men confined day and night in a closet nine feet square, and never let out for any purpose; they were debtors. There were no lunatic asylums, and the insane were thrown into prisons along with criminals. Elizabeth and her brother, affected by the fearful cruelty, published a book on the subject after their tour. The publicity given, together with the recognition of Elizabeth’s reforms by the House of Commons, led, gradually to the improvement of prison life all through, Scotland, Ireland, and the English provinces.

Meanwhile, the terrible conditions of the convicts transported to Australia had attracted her attention. She induced the government to make proper regulations for the voyages of the convict ships and to arrange that the arrivals in Australia should be provided with homes and employment.

In 1819-20, the severe winter drew her attention to the pitiable condition of the homeless. She opened a shelter in London, and provided a soup kitchen, and later started a similar scheme in Brighton. Then, finding that the men of the preventive service (customs department, concerned with the prevention of smuggling) were prone to idleness and boredom, she arranged to supply them with books, and she started a library service to supply coast guard stations.

Her reforms attracted the attention of not only England, but the whole of Europe. In 1820, Elizabeth became a correspondent of the Dowanger Empress of Russia, who instituted reforms based on Elizabeth’s teaching. From other countries too came letters seeking the advice and aid of the ‘ Genius of Mercy’ as she had become known.

Still, Elizabeth did not feel her work had gone far enough. In 1838 she began visiting France, Switzerland, Prussia, Holland and Belgium. She obtained permission to view all prisons and was received with courtesy. She inspected prisons, schools and asylums, expressing her views everywhere and giving advice for reformation. In her later years Elizabeth Fry received many letters from abroad, saying that the reports of her investigations were leading authorities to put her suggestions in practice. But her physical strength, worn by a life of unceasing labour, was waning and she developed a lingering illness. As series of deaths among her numerous children and grandchildren afflicted her sorely and she never recovered, she died October 12 1845, tended by her daughters.

Elizabeth Fry certainly changed the prison system dramatically, she protested against solitary confinement, the silent system, and the darkness of cells. Solitary confinement, she said, was sufficient to unhinge the mind.

Dark cells and dark windows were condemned, because the prisoner should at least be able to see the sky. “I am certain that separate confinement produces an unhealthy state of mind and body, and that therefore everything should be done to counteract this influence which is baneful in its moral tendency. I am satisfied that a sinful course of life increases the tendency to mental derangement as well as bodily disease, and that an unhealthy state of mind and body has a demoralizing influence; and I consider light, air and the power of seeing something beyond the mere monotonous walls of a cell, highly important “

Statements such as these certainly would have created a sensation at the time this quiet Quakeress first spoke them. But Elizabeth Fry, the docile wife and mother and religious devotee, did not fear to stand against public opinion and fight to the death for her convictions. We can take much strength and courage from her deeds, both in her tireless work and her devotion to her family. To the day of her death she remained a faithful and bold worker in the cause she believed in!
