Voting —
I just did my early voting this morning. You'd think, with it being the last day for early voting, there'd be long lines. But no, I was pretty much alone in there. Me and a room full of elderly volunteers. It took no time at all.

I was given a huge paper ballot, which is nice. No touch-screen, that's good. But at the end, I fed my ballot into a machine, and the old lady told me to watch the number on the screen tick up by one. "There! You voted!" she said. "You saw it happen!" Really? What did I see? (And as I left, the old guy at the exit door was telling his fellow volunteers how you can't trust these young people with backpacks 'cause they all have bombs. [I did NOT have a backpack, btw.])

I absolutely understand why so many people don't vote. All the candidates are dicks and idiots, IF you even know who they are. I'm always stuck voting for the guy who's NOT a Republican and NOT a teabag independent... which pretty much means Democrat. *sigh*

I find it alarming how so many otherwise liberal people want to pass laws making non-voting illegal. Do they REALLY think that will solve the problem? That's how conservatives think. You don't like what other people are doing? Pass a law! MAKE them do it YOUR way! (It's interesting the number and variety of nations that have mandatory voting. They're not better for it.)

There are so many bad laws that create more problems than they solve. The whole drug war thing is the perfect example. When these laws are passed, there is NO thought given to how they will be enforced, who will enforce them and what the fallout will be. Seriously, how would you propose we punish non-voters? Fines? Loss of rights? Prison?

If you're one of those who want to make voting mandatory, be honest with yourself: the reason you're unhappy is because your favorite candidates aren't getting elected. Do you REALLY believe that MAKING people vote will magically drive your fellow liberals out of the woodwork? DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT??

Forced voting might increase the numbers, but it won't change the percentages at all. And it certainly won't make people vote smarter. The average person votes with his/her butthole, not his/her brain. NOTHING will change that.

The fact is, we're already paying the price for not voting. We're getting what we deserve. If anything should be done at all, I'd say make the consequences more immediate. When a majority doesn't vote, eliminate that office until the next vote. People don't cast a vote for president, there IS no president until the people decide there needs to be. You don't WANT government, you GET no government. Make the non-votes count.

Conan in Japan!

Hail fellow barbarians and savages! It's really great to see the CROM! blog back to it's former self (and then some) with the return of Cromsblood and the addition of our newest blogging brother, Atom Kid. And to hold up my end of things a bit, i wanted to take a quick moment to tell you all about an email I received from a Conan fan all the way from the land of the rising sun.


A blogger called "Banjin" (蛮人), which means "barbarian" in Japanese, set me a link to his website, which is all devoted our favorite sword-swinger Conan!




You can visit Banjin's site, "Conan the Oblivioner" (???) by clicking HERE. It appears that Banjin has combined two of his favorite things: Conan and the popular sandbox style video game (which I have sunken many hours into myself), Oblivion.

And good luck navigating the site because it's all in Japanese. Maybe Cromsblood can help us out with some sort of translator?

Anyway, check it out and, as always, make sure to die not in hunger... but in combat!

Tea health drink

Tea health drink : Tea is a tropical and subtropical plant which is scientifically known as Camellia Sinensis. From approximately 3000 types of tea result of interbreeding, the results obtained are 3 kinds of tea process, namely green tea, oolong tea and black tea. How tea processing tea leaves by chopping and drying in the sun so that chemical changes before being dried. The treatment will cause the color of the leaves turn brown and give a taste of black tea are typical.


Green tea, the oldest type of tea, so favored mainly by Japanese and Chinese society. Here the tea leaves have a bit of cooking, heating and drying so that only green leaf color can be maintained. While oolong tea is more of a type intermediate between black tea and green tea. The three types of tea each with its own health benefits because it contains binding biochemical called polyfenol, including flavonoids. Flavonoids are a group of antioxidants that exist naturally in vegetables, fruits, and beverages such as tea and wine.

Subclass of polyphenols include flavonols, flavonoids, flavanones, anthocyanidins, catechins, and biflavan. Derivatives of catechins such as epi-cathecin (EC), epigallo-cathecin (EGC), cathecin epigallo-gallate (EGCG), and quercetin is mainly found in tea. EGCG and quercetin is a powerful anti-oxidant with a strength of up to 4-5 times higher than vitamin E and C which is also a potential antioxidant. Antioxidants are known to prevent cells from damage considering each cell damage will contribute more than 50 diseases.

Green tea contains EGCG, as well as black tea, says a biochemist. In a study by Dutch researchers say, consume 4-5 cups of black tea every day cut the risk of stroke by 70% compared with those who consumed 2 cups of tea a day or less. Other reports mention more black tea consumption is associated with low heart attack cases. John Folts, director of the Medical School, Center for Research and Prevention of Arterial Thrombosis, University of Wisconsin, USA to find the key properties of flavonoids in tea. Research results showed that flavonoids in black tea could inhibit the clotting of blood platelet cells thus preventing the blockage of blood vessels in hantung coronary disease and stroke. Another study mentioned that the fanatical tea drinkers had higher levels of cholesterol and low blood pressure, although it remains unclear whether it was directly caused by tea.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA to find the effect of green tea on the skin up to 90%. It turned out that tea is very effective to protect the skin from the sun can cause skin cancer. Tea also contains fluoride which is known to strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent tooth decay. In a laboratory study in Japan, researchers found that tea helps prevent the formation of dental plaque and kill bacteria cause inflammation of the gums.

Japanese study shows, tea-producing region known as the pendudukanya fanatic tea drinker, very low death rate caused by cancer. Another study, carried out cooperation between the research team Oguni and cancer research center in Beijing to study the effects of green tea extract on mice that had been given food rations carcinogenic (cancer-triggering substances.) Reportedly, the average rate of cancer in mice that received green tea extract half of the mice that did not receive green tea extract.

The researchers believe that polyphenols known as cathecin contained in green tea, helps the human body fight cancer cells. Another study conducted by Oguni and Dr. Masami Yamada of the Hamamatsu Medical Center found cathecin kill Helicobator pylori, the bacteria trigger stomach cancer.

Who,What,Wear: My picks of the week.

Another week is gone, which means.... another amazing bunch of gorgeous dresses!!


I absolutely adore the colour of this Ferragamo dress that the beautiful Freida Pinto wore to a photocall in Abu Dhabi for her new film 'Miral'.

I think Freida is such a naturally beautiful girl, and she has totally been nailing it during the promotional tour for this film - I think she will be my next Celeb of the Week!! :)


Can you believe that Halle Berry is 44 years old?!

Ms Berry was looking radiant in a stunning YSL gown this week at the Carousel of Hope Gala.

The beautiful raspberry gown really compliments her skin tone and as always her hair and make-up are flawless. Amazing!! :)


Now this is how you work a Versace dress!

Michelle Monaghan was looking all types of fierce at the LA Premiere of the film 'Due Date'.

She has the confidence and the attitude to work this look - and I'm loving her hair, so much volume and shine - sexy sexy!! :)


I haven't seen Reese Withespoon on the red carpet lately, but she certainly made her presence known this week at the Avon Foundation for Women Gala.

She looked beautiful in Jason Wu (one of my faves!), and I love everything about this look - from the dress, to the shoes, to her hair and make-up, even her nail polish!

Love it! Its classy and a little bit edgy all at once :)


My favourite leading lady Eva Mendes was looking very girly and playful in Lela Rose at the Glamour Reels Event in LA this week.

I'm loving her side swept hair and great make-up - her skin looks flawless! And those shoes!

She is so consistently stylish, and isn't afraid to change up her look, I always look forward to seeing what she wears. :)


Jessica Biel was at the same event in a gorgeous Oscar de la Renta dress. The dress is very old-style glamour, which I love!

I was also pleasently suprised to see she had come back to the dark side with glossy chocolatey locks! I'm really loving the colour, it compliments her skin tone and her green eyes, but I think she needs to cut it!

The style is just a bit blah. My hair is quite similar and I'm getting a bit sick of it, I think I might get the chop this week! Scary! I've had long hair since I was about 7!!

What was your favourite look this week lovely ladies?

Happy weekend!!

Much love xx

Beautiful star of Black Swan Mila Kunis talks about working with Natalie Portman. But even her co-star Vincent Cassel can't resist the oppotunity to ask her what it was like kissing Natalie during the film's passionate lovemaking scenes between the two girls. Clearly embarassed Mila Kunis struggles to maintain her composure. Although who can blame her for being a bit hot and bothered thinking about it.

Mila Kunis was talking at the London Film festival at a press conference ahead of the film's UK red carpet premiere in Leicester Square.

As LeicesterSquareTV described on below video


Yeah Mila, tell us more about the kissing !!

I'm so in love with Mila. Can't wait to see this movie!

Ipar tiri Tony Blair, Lauren Booth, was not alone chose Islam as his new religion after a visit to the holy city of Qom, Iran. Options faith Iranian journalist and television anchor was apparently also followed a number of other British modern woman.

Eve Ahmed, women who are career as a writer among them. She was born in London, his mother and his father Muslim Britons of Pakistani origin. Childhood, he grew in accordance with the faith of his father. But in fact he could not accept. "When she was 18 years old and in college, I reject it."

All the ban was never explained by her father, including why no dogs allowed. And, of course, sit down with him, shake hands, as well as intercourse with a man who is not strange.
