Removing blackheads and pimples

Oregon State allows a maximum of 18 dropped courses, and a maximum of 4 attempts at the same course. I can't find anything about a maximum number of dropped courses at UO, but after 3 attempts at the same course students need prior approval to try again. I don't see anything about paying OOS tuition after a certain number of hours for either university. I know there is a limit of 150% of required hours for federal financial aid, but that would be 180 total hours for a degree with 120 required hours, so the limit of only 30 hours over seems really restrictive to me.

Maybe you don't eat it that way, but it appears to be very commonly served that way, including in restaurants. If you're only taking half a cup of one high-glycemic, no-fiber food and half a cup of another high-glycemic, no-fiber food, and filling the rest of your plate with protein and vegetables, then, as BaseballandHockey said, two half-cups of simple carbs are no worse than one cup of simple carbs. But when that's the entire meal, that is not healthy.

I think the issue some people have with this particular dish is that the noodles and potatoes aren't small servings on the side of the plate with a piece of grilled chicken and a large helping of vegetables, they are the whole meal. If you look at the Bob Evans restaurant menu that was mentioned upthread, they serve the noodles and mashed potatoes on top of a biscuit, so that's a 1000-calorie, high glycemic meal with no fiber and not a lot of nutrition. There's a big difference between a plate where the carbs are from white flour and peeled white potatoes and a plate where the carbs are beans, brown rice, and a bunch of veggies, or lentil soup with potatoes and carrots and whole wheat bread on the side.

https://abc7chicago.com/abandoned-children-houston-9-year-old-dead-skeletal-remains-found-harris-county/11169206/ Lots of new details in this report: Truancy reports were filed on the mother in 2019 and 2020; kids were last enrolled in school in May 2020. One neighbor complained to management about the horrible smell for at least a year, but nothing was done. She said the smell was so bad she would turn off her AC to keep it out of her apartment. Two neighbors who gave him food said they never saw the other kids and and didn't know the teen had siblings. They say he was very afraid of being poisoned and would only eat packaged food from the store, not anything home cooked. The mother does appear to be the custodial parent, the 15 yr old said his mother had moved out months ago. The mother and boyfriend live 15 minutes away, and residents said she would occasionally drop off food that the 15 yr old would come down and pick up. Before calling the police, the 15 yr old texted his mother saying he couldn't take it any more.

Harris County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the mother and her boyfriend were released: https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2021/10/25/mother-of-3-children-found-living-with-skeletal-remains-of-9-year-old-sibling-questioned-and-released/

I don't understand why the mother and boyfriend were "interviewed and released" instead of being arrested for child endangerment? And surely there must be some kind of charges related to having a decomposing corpse in your apartment for a year??? My heart just breaks for those poor kids.

It's not relevant because the fact that he's a loudmouthed asshole has nothing to do with the death of Halyna Hutchins. She died because the people whose job it was to make sure the gun was safe not only did not do their jobs, one of them actually lied that the gun was empty when it was not. I'm not sure why you're trying to imply the walk-off was because of Baldwin when there has not been a single report that it had anything to do with him. By "Hollywood" do you mean the entire film and television industry? No more movies or TV shows, ever, of any kind? Would that be worldwide or just in the US?

Lightly butter one side of a flour tortilla, drop it in a frying pan (butter side down), cover with grated cheese, salsa, and anything else you like (beans, ham, crumbled sausage, onions & peppers, etc), then when the cheese is melted and the bottom is crispy, slide it onto a plate. Then crack an egg into one side of the pan and slide it around a little so its sort of a half-circle shape that will fit well on half a tortilla. (I usually break the yolk and push the egg around with a spatula into a half-moon shape, because DS doesn't like runny eggs, but you could leave it sunny side up if that's your preference.) Slide the egg onto one half of the tortilla, fold the other half over the top, cut in half or into quarters. It's one of my son's favorite quick meals, so I'm usually just making one. But if you want to make a bunch for a family, you could cook the eggs in a separate pan while you cook the tortillas to make it faster. You can either make them individually, with whatever fillings each person prefers, or make one big one and serve wedges of it. To make one big one, fry a large burrito-size tortilla with cheese and other toppings in one pan, fry 3-4 eggs in another pan (so they fill out the round shape of the pan), then put the first tortilla on a plate, slide the eggs on top of it, fry another tortilla (with cheese) and put that on top (cheese side down, crispy side up), cut in wedges, and serve.

There were similar complaints about him in relation to two episodes of a show on Hulu that were also filmed in 2019. Two people who handled props and pyrotechnics on the set said he was super lax about safety, failed to hold safety meetings, was constantly admonished by the prop master for not keeping track of where prop guns were and who had them, and had to be forced by crew to wait when he wanted to film a scene with pyrotechnics without the professional pyrotechnic team there. They said he even complained about having to get a gun checked by the armorer for a scene in which the actor pointed it at her head and pulled the trigger! There were also complaints about the armorer on her previous film — someone who worked with her said that she reloaded a gun on the ground where there was gravel and debris and handed it to a child actor without checking the barrel to make sure nothing had gotten in there that could become a projectile. Other crew members had to call a halt and make her check the barrel before allowing filming to resume. Since one of the common denominators in these stories is the intervention of other crew members, I wonder if things would have been different if the professional crew that walked off had been there when the scene was being rehearsed — maybe someone would have insisted Halls actually inspect the gun before declaring it empty, or force Guttierez to recheck it before Halls picked it up. With an inexperienced armorer plus an AD with a terrible safety record plus lack of professional crew plus a director who wasn't very experienced (4 super low budget movies in the past 10 years), it seems like a perfect storm where every single level of the protection that is supposed to keep people safe was missing.

IMO making jokes, even tasteless ones, is in a different category from calling for the death of someone involved in a tragic accident, saying he deserves to suffer, you hope he's charged with murder and gets the death penalty, etc., which is a lot of what I'm seeing in comments on news stories. And gleefully exploiting a tragic death for financial gain by selling tee shirts is in a category of it's own.

No one taught me, it was not the kind of thing my mother was willing to talk about. And I was the oldest, so no siblings to explain things to me either. I literally learned everything I knew about periods from a little booklet they handed out in Girl Scouts! Thank goodness for that little booklet, because I got my first period not long after that and would have been completely freaked out if I didn't know what was happening. And this was late 60s, so I was all too familiar with the dreaded "sanitary belt" system — my mother wouldn't let me use tampons, but by high school I would just buy them myself. I also had to sneak to shave my legs, because that wasn't allowed either until I was well into HS.

I have several implants and had to wait three months after the extraction for the socket to heal before they could screw in the peg. Drilling into the bone hurt quite a lot, and my face was really swollen for several days afterward. Then that had to heal up for a while, and when they could tell that the screw was well attached to the bone, they made a mold and put a temporary cap on the peg until the tooth part of the implant was ready, and then they removed the cap and screwed in the tooth. The gum tissue around the implant was really sore for a while, I think they said to gargle with salt water to reduce the swelling. This is really a multi-stage process that takes several months, I'd be concerned that the surgeon has not explained this to your DH. This website has a good summary of the process: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/dental-implant-surgery/about/pac-20384622

My maiden name is my legal middle name, and I use all three names for most things. I have two totally different signatures though — I sign all three names legibly for things that matter (including checks) but for things like signing on a credit card machine, or signing for a package, or acknowledging that the doctor gave me some form or other, I just sign a large first initial plus a long squiggle.

My 2-minute meal when the kids were younger and we were running late for practice was a protein smoothie they could drink in the car (banana, peanut butter, almond milk, Orgain chocolate protein powder, ice cubes) "Eggsadillas" — quesadilla with a fried egg inside Breakfast burritos with scrambled eggs, cheese, salsa, black beans, and leftover potatoes, or bean & cheese burritos with leftover rice Bag of TJ's fried rice plus frozen edamame tossed in a skillet for a few minutes Pasta salad — seems fancy but other than cooking the pasta, the rest is just opening bags/cans/jars and throwing it all in a big bowl: bag of arugula or other greens, can of cannellini or garbanzo beans, jars of marinated artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers, and some parmesan. Dress with some of the flavored oil from the jars and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Works equally well warm or cold, so it's great when you have lots of people eating at different times, and it keeps well in the fridge. (It's a great last minute potluck meal, too, and if you use vegan parmesan, or serve the cheese on the side, it works for vegan & dairy-free folks as well.) Not exactly cheap but definitely fast, healthy, and zero effort: my college kid who doesn't cook and has very little spare time (plus limited freezer space) eats a lot of Indian food that comes in shelf-stable microwavable pouches (Madras Lentils, Chickpea Masala, Everyday Chana, etc.). He orders them by the case from Amazon and just dumps a pouch in a bowl with a cup or two of brown rice (either frozen or shelf stable) and some frozen spinach, pops it in the microwave, and has a healthy, filling, high protein meal in two minutes.

I kept the same last name as my kids. Plus I'd had the name for more than 20 years at that point and it would have been a total PITA to change my passport, drivers license, bank accounts, car title, house title, and various other documents.

It doesn't bother me at all. A maiden is an unmarried girl, and in a culture where many women change their last name when they marry, we need a term that refers to the name they had before marrying. Some people may consider the tradition of women changing their name to be sexist, but having a term for the pre-married name is not in itself sexist. As others have pointed out, asking for "last name at birth" can be problematic for people whose names were changed through adoption, and just asking for surname doesn't distinguish between the pre-marriage surname and post-marriage surname. Even specifying "surname before marriage" wouldn't be that helpful considering how many people are married more than once.

It was a pistol. The LA Times article said they were rehearsing a gunfight scene, and he had pulled the gun out of the holster once without incident, but the second time he pulled it out, it went off.

This was reported as a misfire, and crew had previously complained about three other misfires, where the gun went off without pulling the trigger. There is no report so far that Baldwin had purposely aimed the gun at the camera and pulled the trigger. It's possible that the same thing happened to him that had previously happened to a stunt double, and the gun went off as he was pulling it out of the holster.

In every interview I've read, armorers and other people in the industry have said it's absolutely the AD's job to check the gun before it's handed to an actor. The person who called 911 after the shooting even told the dispatcher that. The police report says there were three guns on a rolling cart that had been prepared by the armorer, and the AD picked one up, yelled "cold gun," and handed it to Baldwin. There was nothing in the report indicating that he checked the gun as he was required to do (and obviously he didn't, since it was not "cold"). The other thing that several armors said is that they never let the guns out of their sight, they are always right with the guns when they're being used on set. But it doesn't seem like the armorer was there with the guns when the AD grabbed one off the cart — if she was right there and she knew the protocol, why didn't she yell at him to check the gun? It also makes me wonder what the other two guns on the cart were for, and if they were all loaded, or if one was unloaded and the AD grabbed a "hot" one instead of the "cold" one. And if he took the gun when the armorer wasn't with them, was she negligent for not being there or was he negligent for not waiting for her to be there before he took the gun (e.g. if she had just stepped away for a minute and he couldn't be bothered waiting for her to come back). As for how a blank, which usually just has cotton or paper or wax in it, could result in a projectile passing through a person and hitting another, one of the articles I read said that sometimes armorers will reuse and reload cartridges, and the extra stress on the cartridges can cause them to break apart when fired and the metal pieces can become projectiles just like bullets.

Wonderful news!

I'd definitely stick with the study, and just have your pediatrician record the immunization details in the kids' medical charts. A letter from a pediatrician is the standard proof for childhood vaccines accepted by schools and other other organizations. As time goes on, plenty of people are going to lose their original CDC card and rely on medical records, so I wouldn't worry about that at all.
