The following letter was sent to the Ontario Humanist Society by Our Right to Know.
A Letter From The President
October. 22, 2015
Dear Friends,
We have a new government and there is hope that public science will once again be supported, and perhaps even flourish. During the election campaign, the Liberal Party of Canada responded to our seven questions with the following answers:
Liberals believe that the federal government should base its policies on facts, not make up facts based on policy. Without evidence, government makes arbitrary decisions that have the potential to negatively affect the daily lives of Canadians. We need reliable economic indicators and data for sound economic policy, and to provide other governments, businesses, and civil society with the tools to enrich our national life. Unfortunately, Stephen Harper's Conservatives have allowed ideology to trump common sense, good policy, and evidence about what works. A Liberal government will ensure the federal government rebuilds its capacity to deliver on evidence-based decision-making.
- Will you and your party restore open and transparent communication between government scientists and the public?
Yes. A Liberal government will revoke rules and regulations that muzzle government scientists and allow them to speak freely about their work, with only limited and publicly stated exceptions. We need scientists to conduct research for the public good and share their findings free from political interference. In doing so, we also ensure that policy-makers have the right facts so they can best serve Canadians.
- Will you and your party re-establish the mandatory long-form census?
Yes, a Liberal government will immediately restore the mandatory long-form census. We will also make Statistics Canada fully independent with a mandate to collect data needed by the private sector, other orders of government, not-for-profits, and researchers, in order to support good decision-making. We will consult broadly and work with a strengthened Statistics Canada to make available additional data needed by businesses, municipalities, the not-for-profit sector, and the public. This would include more detailed labour market information, child development data, and statistics on natural capital.
- Will you and your party appoint a Science Adviser who reports directly to Parliament?
Yes, we will create a Chief Science Officer whose mandate would include ensuring that government science is freely available to the public, that scientists are able to speak freely about their work, and that scientific analyses are appropriately considered when the government makes decisions.
- Will you and your party protect the ability of registered charities to participate in public debates without fearing government retaliation?
We understand the fundamental role that the not-for-profit sector and charities play in both policy development and program delivery for Canadians. The Liberal Party of Canada is committed to renewing the federal government's partnership with civil society. As a first step, we will put an end to the Canadian Revenue Agency's political harassment of charities and clarify rules to affirm the important role that charities can and should play in developing and advocating for public policy in Canada.
- Will you and your party provide sufficient funding for research that ensures the health and safety of Canadians and the environment?
As other countries innovate and invest in research and development, Canada has fallen behind. Canada has several innovation hubs, including for medicine and medical devices, pharmaceutical and bio-products. We have many successful, growing, innovative firms, but we do not have enough of them. We do not have enough well-financed incubators that provide the advice, office space, and access to research and financial support that entrepreneurs need as they start new companies. A Liberal government will kick-start Canada's innovation potential over next three years by making significant investments to boost Canada's innovative capacity. We will invest $200 million per year, in each of the next three years, in a new innovation agenda. We will provide direct support to business incubators, accelerators, and research facilities with the objective of creating successful networks like the American and German partnerships between businesses, government, and university and college research.
In addition, we will work with provinces and territories to overcome obstacles to innovation in health care delivery and to disseminate and scale up successful new practices, such as ways to use genomics in precision medicine. This includes supporting initiatives that help health care providers collaborate, across Canada, to ensure the most appropriate and effective treatments and practices for their patients. By using the best available evidence, governments can increasingly work together to support front-line health providers as they deliver high-quality and effective care to Canadians.
We will also focus on innovation in environmental sustainability. Clean technology can deliver real benefits for our environment and our economy, including more good, middle class jobs. We will invest $100 million more each year in clean technology producers, so that they can tackle Canada's most pressing environmental challenges, and create more opportunities for Canadian workers. We will deliver more support to emerging clean tech manufacturing companies, making it easier for them to conduct research and bring new products to market. We will also invest $200 million more each year to support innovation and the use of clean technologies in our natural resource sectors, including the forestry, fisheries, mining, energy, and agricultural sectors. To foster the creativity that leads to cutting-edge research, we will also establish Canada Research Chairs in sustainable technology.
We will increase science spending in our National Parks by $25 million per year to allow for early identification of ecological stresses and avoid permanent degradation. We will also reverse the $40 million that Mr. Harper cut from the federal government's ocean science and monitoring programs. We will restore $1.5 million in federal funding for freshwater research, which was cut by the Conservatives, and make new investments in Canada's world-leading IISD Experimental Lakes Area.
- Will you and your party rebuild government libraries and archives and restore public access?
Liberals believe that the government has a critical role in the preservation, promotion and display of our heritage. Whether it is through museums or federal institutions (e.g. Library and Archives), government support is essential for the preservation and exhibition of our history, culture and identity. Library and Archives Canada (LAC) has been severely neglected by the Conservative government. As documents are increasingly digitized, LAC was subject to a $9.6 million cut. This resulted in 98,000 boxes of documents collecting dust, documents that are a valuable part of our documentary heritage.
Liberals believe that Library and Archives Canada has an important role to play in ensuring Canadians have access to historical documents, and will work to support a digital strategy for LAC.
Part of our task now is to make sure that Canada's new government will actually do these things. It will be part of our task, as an organization, to remind the government of their promises.
With hope for a Canada that will once more base its policies on evidence,
Margrit Eichler
President, Our Right to Know

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple. Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. And one called to another and said:
- "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
- the whole earth is full of his glory."
The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house filled with smoke. And I said: "Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"
Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: "Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out." Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I; send me!" (Isaiah 6:1-6).
The worship experience in this reading from Isaiah, suggests that God can be experienced. God can be identified while touching us without the use of a hand. Yet the symbols of the presence of God seem to transport and transform as the holiness of God becomes what is real, whole and good.
St. Benedict in chapter 19 of The Rule wrote, "We believe that the divine presence is everywhere and that in every place the eyes of the Lord are watching the good and the wicked (Prov. 15:3)".
The presence of God invites us into a relationship with the holy. It is listening to the Holy Spirit speak to us through life; in the beauty of creation and the wonder of what is beyond our comprehension. In contemplative prayer, what is holy becomes not something that we reach, but it is about the Holy One reaching out and touching us. This relationship with the holy is not limited to our moments of prayer and devotion. It is to be acknowledged and lived into through the ordinary being transformed into what is extraordinary because we find God speaking to us there, asking us to listen.
May God continue to lead us into a deeper relationship with the holy.
Br. Anselm Philip King-Lowe, n/OSB

text: This past weekend the Electric Sloth team was lucky enough to attend a performance by Hotel Garuda at the Bang Bang Nightclub in San Diego, California as part of the last leg of their Eternal Sun tour. They were accompanied by supporting acts Matt Dimona & Wingtip. After selling out both Los Angeles and Santa Ana shows, they managed to do the same in San Diego. As the day turned to night, my correspondent and I could hardly contain our excitement. Seeing the duo had been on our minds since their performance at a college party our CEO attended the year before. Let's just say he really hyped it up… I must say, we were excited not only for Hotel Garuda's performance, but for the venue, as Bang Bang happens to boast the biggest disco ball on the West Coast. Take a glimpse at it below. Rant: Is it the largest on the West Coast? Apparently so. Do I want one in my living room? Absolutely. But that's besides the point. Attending events at Bang Bang has always been a favorite of the Electric Sloth team. It could have something to do with the deliciously strong beverages served at the bar – or perhaps the phenomenal decorations & overall vibe. Walk up those black & white checked stairs, attend a show, and let us know…. Having worked with Hotel Garuda in the past, we were blessed to be able to accompany them on stage throughout their performance. As we peered over the decks into the crowd, it looked almost like a movie with a sea of faces & bodies that moved in congruency. They started off slow, as the duo played a few remixes of current popular tracks & of course, remixes of their own. As they took turns on the deck, both Chris (Manila Killa) and Aseem (previously known as Candle Weather) played out various bangers, mellow tracks and even some (dare I say) Tropical House. The boys crafted their respective on-stage styles through wildly successful solo projects that allowed them to come together under Hotel Garuda and absolutely blow any audience away. What we saw here tonight is the start of something incredible matched with impeccable track selection, mixing, and an engaging stage presence that had everyone losing their f*cking minds All in all, it was very evident that both members of the duo were very passionate about their live performance. This, coupled with 3x sold out shows at the start of their tour, is clearly a sign that you should go see Hotel Garuda on their next stop. TLDR: Ronnie from Jersey Shore showed up. Hotel Garuda played their (unreleased) "Innerbloom" Remix We had a blast. Connect with Hotel Garuda: Hotel Garuda Soundcloud | Hotel Garuda Twitter Images courtesy of Hotel Garuda

Sharing Details about Completed Projects and Works in Progress Through Social Media
As an international business owner, you may have a wealth of information that you want to share with your employees and shareholders. While you could post all of this information on your company's website or send it out in a mass email, you may want a simpler and more convenient way to post all of the updated information that you have available. Rather than send out wordy blog posts or emails, you can instead share these important details by creating a social media page that can be accessed by others who belong to social networking site. People who follow pages like the shahram shirkhani profile can stay updated about works in progress and completed projects without having to search and browse several different webpages.
When you set up your social media pages, you can separate your news into two categories: Projects and WIP. Under the Projects tab, you can post pictures about projects that have been completed or projects that you would like to take on with your business. When your followers click on the pictures, they can read in-depth descriptions that you provide about these projects. Under the WIP tab, you can post pictures of works in progress. Again, people can click on the photos to read your explanations of how these projects are going and when you expect them to be completed.
An important part of building your profile involves providing a detailed description about yourself. Your personal profile will be displayed on the left side of the page and should contain basic details like your name and title within the company. You can provide your location and also upload a profile picture to your account. Under the About section of your profile, you can provide a more detailed description about yourself. You can include facts about your educational and work training. You also can share facts about any professional or academic positions who hold in your hometown or country. People who follow your social media page will be able to see your personalized description of yourself.
Your profile on this page will also have social media plugins that people can click on and share on websites like Facebook and Twitter. When your followers share your profile or your social media page's content, you can earn a higher search engine ranking. When your profile is ranked higher, you can gain more followers and also get more people to notice your qualifications. Because your personal or professional success can depend on how well you garner attraction from followers and prospective clients, you may do well to keep your profile updated regularly.
When people join this network to connect with you, they have the option to message you directly. For example, if a shareholder wants to know more about one of your WIPs, this person can join the site and use the messaging option to contact you. Likewise, you can message people whom you follow. When you respond directly to people who message you, you help them become more familiar with you and your company.
Sharing a wealth of information can be a challenge if you relegate your options to blog or website posts. You can share more with followers by creating a social media profile page online.

Warner Stage Company presents 'Peter And The Starcatcher' June 17-25
Torrington >> The Warner Stage Company will present the Tony Award winning play, "Peter And The Starcatcher," in the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre June 17-25.
Tony-winning "Peter And The Starcatcher" upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff.
They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain's cabin, which contains a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training who realizes that the trunk's precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates – led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own – the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure for the young and, more importantly, the young at heart.
Featuring a dozen actors portraying more than 100 unforgettable characters, "Peter And The Starcatcher" uses ingenious stagecraft and the limitless possibilities of imagination to bring the story to life.
From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, "Peter And The Starcatcher" playfully explores the depths of greed and despair... and the bonds of friendship, duty and love.
The Warner Stage Company production of "Peter And The Starcatcher" is directed by Katherine Ray with music director Dan Ringuette. Performances are June 17, 23 and 24 at 8 p.m. and June 18 and 25 at 2 p.m. To purchase tickets, call the Warner Box Office at 860-489-7180 or visit warnertheatre.org.

by Salix & Co for Pharmacy Voice
Pharmacy Voice, which speaks for community pharmacy in its entirety - from high street multiples to rural independents - commissioned the consultancy to identify and develop a long-term strategy to help unify a key but fragmented healthcare sector, and raise public awareness of its potential to support public health and ease the increasing demands on general practice and A & E.
Strategy and methods deployed
The campaign theme had to resonate at both national and local levels, and work as well for a small independent community pharmacy as for large multiples like Boots and Lloyds, and equally for Government, policymakers and the general public. Extensive qualitative research among key stakeholders suggested there was huge untapped potential in community pharmacy in relation to public health. The proposed strategic theme, Dispensing Health, tested exceptionally well with all stakeholders, capturing the strong heritage of pharmacy as a dispenser of medicines and its modern face as advisors on health.
Dispensing Health has contributed to a significant uplift in public awareness of the services available through community pharmacy. Quarterly YouGov surveys of more than 2,000 respondents have demonstrated a tangible uplift on each occasion.
This is a strong awareness campaign, with a very clear message and sound platform with the flex to sustain a long conversation and the appeal to unify disparate, eclectic groups. It shows how a safe, but effective approach can deliver impressive media relations and outcomes.

Can you relate to this – you get to know a plant, and it's so easy and so good and so versatile that you nearly don't want to tell anyone about it? Well, I am going to let mine out of the bag. Liriope 'Emerald Cascade' is one of those hardy plants that it's virtually impossible to kill. It looks lush year round, and is great for tricky shady spots.
Put your non- gardening friends onto this one, they will love it.
Liriope 'Emerald Cascade' is a low growing, tough-as-nails performer. It is perfect for shady spots like under the eaves, underneath tree canopies and in the shade of verandahs. I have a collection at my front door in some funky pots (you can get those at flowerboxgallerycom.au) and everyone always comments on them. This area is a no-sun and no rain zone and they look great all year round.
So a big tick for shade. They also get a big tick for dry tolerance which is why you can have them in neglected corners and they seem to thrive on hardly any water. It doesn't matter if you forget about them for a while.
You can plant it as a dense border, it will give a really lush effect. But it looks equally good in containers. It would look great along a shady poolside too if your lucky enough to have one. You don't need to be overly fussy about the shade – it still handles the sun. I just wouldn't put it in blaring all day sun locations and expect it to look its absolute best. It's claim to fame is definitely being a 'low light' master.
The other thing I love about Liriope 'Emerald Cascade' is that it is great indoors too – a great bonus. We have multiple containers and all thriving – both in very small and bigger display pots. They don't give any telltale signs of being thirsty like most other indoor plants.
I have one 'Emerald Cascade' at home in the direct path of our main heat pump. It's four years old and it's never had any problems. It stands up very well to temperature variations, and the ongoing blast of winter heat coming its way. When everything else in your house is looking worse for wear, you'll find 'Emerald Cascade' is still pushing on.
'Emerald Cascade' has quite a dramatic appearance with its weeping emerald green foliage. It also produces cobalt blue berries in the spring and summer however these are a secondary feature to the foliage itself. Just think shade and think dry and you've the perfect solution.
So my secret's out!

Well ladies and gentlemen we have made it to the final round of the regular BBL season. With finals around the corner (meaning your entire team will be changed), the focus is entirely on these final four games of cricket. Hopefully you've prepared your team for this round. There are no double games, no byes and a whole host of players unavailable, so let's break it all down.
Marcus Stoinis – Australian duties… somehow
Peter Handscomb – As above
Peter Nevill – Out for at least this round with a bat lodged in his face
James Pattinson – Hasn't found any form in this tournament and came from the ground with a potential calf injury
Seb Gotch – If you're looking for a downgrade option to make some money, Gotch bats at four and will keep for the Stars
Shane Watson – Watson has finally found form and against the Strikers who have nothing to play for, he could go big
Tom Cooper – Cooper is now, somehow, an all-rounder and he's in decent form with the bat too
Don't Hold Anything Back
It's more than just a crappy car commercial slogan, it should be your way of life this round. Use all of your trades and get the best XI together that you possibly can to maximise for his round. For the uninitiated, BBL Fantasy resets as of next round for finals. You play seven head-to-head games which means Fantasy finals coincides with the real thing. Obviously with four teams eliminated from the tournament as of next week, you'll need to pick from the four remaining finalists meaning your entire team gets wiped and you'll be picking a team from scratch once again. That means this is the round to take a gamble or two and go for the biggest score you possibly can. Make sure you have some point of difference players to set yourself apart from others in your league.
Round Eight Captains
Apologies for a rather short article, but by this point in the tournament there isn't really much more advice to give! Here are this week's best captain options.
- Shane Watson: After starting the tournament with a whimper, Watson has found form and brought the Sydney Thunder back from the brink of elimination. As already mentioned, he comes up against a Strikers unit that is just playing out time at this point. Laughlin will be a threat with the ball as he Watson out twice in BBL05.
- Brendon McCullum: The Brisbane Heat captain is back from possibly the worst one-game suspension in cricket history and hopefully he translates that frustration into a big score against the Renegades. If he can get hold of the Renegades' spin heavy bowling attack, he'll go big this round.
- Aaron Finch: Outside of a poor 19 last round, Finch has been a consistent scorer so far in this tournament and is usually a safe captain option. He made 65 runs against the Heat last season.
- Tim Paine: The Hurricanes have one last chance at making finals and they need a big win against the Scorchers to do so. Paine is the Cane I would be throwing the captaincy to out of all of them simply because he opens the batting and made 57 against them last season. Bailey is another decent option… or Ben McDermott… if you're feeling like taking a risk.
- Kevin Pietersen: KP had an awful round, but with so many of the Stars' guns out of the team, Pietersen is the type to rise to the occasion and it's hard to see him failing in two straight games.
Good luck in the final round!

While going all out we still need to keep in mind budget don't we? The dollars you have after price changes following this round are the dollars you'll have to spend for the semi-finals. Getting in someone bound to go up in price for your bench spot is a reasonable plan I thought or does budget reset as well?
It doesn't usually matter for the final as you end up having money to burn as you only have 22 players to choose from and most of those are on the cheap side.
Ahh – good to see this article here in time. :)
Which two of Perrera, Braithwaite, Watson and Cooper should I bring in?
Finch, Abbott,Pietersen, Perera, Bresnan (Christian, Michael)
Paine (Doran)
Narine, Hilfenhaus, Tye, Boland, Watson (Botha, Valente)
I have $32,000 left in the bank with 1 trade left, what should i do?
I am thinking of bringing in Klinger but who should i take off the ground for him?
Liam I woul trade out Klinger if I were you because his strike rate doesn't get many points, and he can be a bit hit and miss, and all scorchers batsman are struggling
Ben I recon trade Hilfenhaus
hi all whats the chance of Sangakkara playing saturday night i want to loop watto!
I was studying some of your posts on this website and I believe this web site is really instructive! Continue putting up.

This past week has been a complete fog. I spent the long weekend in Virginia Beach, VA for the Rock N Roll Half Marathon event and I'm still recovering from 13.1 miles and seeing King Neptune. It was a really fun trip, had a good run, some really good food and enough coffee and knitting to to fill 16 hours in a car.
Hubs and I traveled with two other couples who are not only good friends, but great running buddies as well. A few days before the trip, the ladies decided that we would bring our knitting projects. This is one activity I can do while sitting in a car and not feel nausea setting in like when I try to read a book or magazine. We worked on them the whole trip down and the whole trip back! It was the first time I tried circular knitting needles and I loved them. So, at the crack of dawn on Friday, we piled into a car and set out for a 9 hour drive south.
We arrived and checked in to our hotel and I have to say, there is something about having a beach front view. I love the ocean. It is my happy place.
Our group decided to go to the race expo, grab our bibs and swag bags, then take a spin around the booths to see what was available. After an hour, we were hungry and ready to grab some eats. Hubs was the winner of the gold star award as he found an air conditioned convention center bus that was free and would take us down to the beach. Score! Our driver Mike was very nice and gave us a recommendation for our dinner spot- Waterman's. Score again! The restaurant was right next to the stage where we were going later to see the Steve Miller Band.
We placed our name on the waiting list and grabbed a few beers and snacks at the bar. Waterman's is famous for their signature drink known as the Orange Crush- which was sneaky good- but they should be world famous for their appetizer of Buffalo Tuna Bites- because these little nuggets were off- the- hook!
If you ever are in Virginia Beach, and are at Waterman's, order this dish. You won't regret it!
After a great meal and a super concert and boogying in the sand, we walked the boardwalk back to the hotel and slept like rocks!
Saturday brought us down by the sea for a lovely walk, then a relaxing lunch at CP Shucker's, another winner in the eats department. A nice little sports bar with a smoker out back that makes the most incredible Pulled Pork Sandwiches
and Teriyaki Chicken wings.
Not that I would know this or anything….
Next day was race day and was hot, hot, hot…with a sprinkle of rain here and there. I'm SO glad the sun didn't come out, because I'm not sure I would have been able to finish the 13.1 mile trek.
But, finish I did and was happy to place this cool finishers medal around the neck.
Enjoying CP Shuckers the day before, we decided to return again after noticing they had a nice big patio off to the side as the race route brought us by the pub that morning.
So back we went for a couple pitchers of cold beer and
outrageous Cab Mac N Cheese
and Bacon Wrapped Scallops. Great, great food. Another must stop to place on your list!
With full bellies, and in need of a nap, we walked back to the hotel and said hello to King Neptune- This is by far, my favorite statue in Virginia Beach! He's SO COOL!
I'm going to end here and save the rest of the story for next week. Such a fun time and I'm glad that I could stick my toes into the Atlantic Ocean, albeit brief.
Have a great weekend.

Afternoon Heart Surgery Linked to Better Patient Outcomes
FRIDAY, Oct. 27, 2017 -- For patients undergoing aortic valve replacement, perioperative myocardial injury occurs more with morning surgery than with afternoon surgery, according to a study published online Oct. 26 in The Lancet.
David Montaigne, M.D., from the University of Lille in France, and colleagues examined the incidence of major adverse cardiac events in a single-center prospective cohort study involving patients with severe aortic stenosis and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction who were referred for aortic valve replacement. Propensity-score-matched pairs of patients (298 pairs) underwent surgery in the morning or afternoon. The authors also examined perioperative myocardial injury and myocardial samples of 88 patients randomized to undergo isolated aortic valve replacement surgery in the morning or afternoon.
The researchers found that the incidence of major adverse cardiac events was lower in the afternoon group than the morning group (hazard ratio, 0.5) during the 500 days after aortic valve replacement. In the randomized study, the geometric mean of perioperative cardiac troponin T release was significantly lower in the afternoon versus the morning group (estimated ratio of geometric means, 0.79). An intrinsic afternoon-morning variation was seen in hypoxia-reoxygenation tolerance in ex-vivo analysis of human myocardium; the nuclear receptor Rev-Erbα was highest in the morning. In a mouse model, Rev-Erbα gene deletion or antagonist treatment reduced injury at the sleep-to-wake transition.
"Afternoon surgery might provide perioperative myocardial protection and lead to improved patient outcomes compared with morning surgery," the authors write.

It was a battle of top three Ohio Athletic Conference teams when John Carroll University women's lacrosse team traveled to Columbus, Ohio for a meeting with Capital University.
A seven goal first quarter for the hosting Crusaders set an earlier tone the Blue Streaks could not match. JCU dropped their second straight conference game after a 10-7 final with Capital.
Capital found the scoring column first, but sophomore attack man Gina Vilsack evened the score on the next JCU possession. Vilsack led JCU scorers with four tallies in the game.
Freshman attack man Jillian Millard followed up Vilsack's performance with a goal of her own just over a minute later. From there, Capital took over the first half with a six goal run to wrap up the opening half. Heading into the break, JCU trailed 7-2.
Tides seemed to turn when the squads returned to the field for the second half. Vilsack started things off with a goal just 47 seconds into the half. JCU supplied some resistance later in the half thanks to goals from freshman attack man Mariella St. Amand, who supplied two tallies in the second frame. St. Amand and Vilsack were the only goals scorers for JCU in the second half.
Sophomore goaltender Caroline Smith had a career best 12 saves in the net. The sophomore was busy between pipes, facing 26 shots from Capital. The hosts also had the advantage in the draw circle with a 7-3 advantage in controls.
John Carroll only saw three goal scorers in the game. Vilsack, St. Amand and Millard were the leading force on the offensive side of the ball. Senior Kaley LaForce and sophomore Meghan Harte each grabbed four ground balls in conference match up.
With the loss, JCU drops to 7-4 (1-2 OAC) on the season. The loss also marks the first back-to-back losses for JCU on the year. The two losses produced the lowest scoring games so far on the season for JCU. In both conference losses, John Carroll was held to just seven goals.
John Carroll is now tied for fifth place in the OAC. Ohio Northern University has an equal 1-2 record in the conference. Both squads will meet in University Heights for the season finale.
Editor's Note: JCU returns home to Don Shula Stadium on Wednesday, April 20 for a conference meeting with Muskingum University.

I had to replace the HDD in an old Dell inspiration 1000. I reinstalled xp and the necessary drivers. I can connect to my network and I have sound, good video, and media player. My version of IE is outdated and causing conflicting problems. I believe I need to install sp2 as the Version is sp1, this woudl/should allow me to upgrade my IE Hoping this will eliminate the problems. I can not get the data from old HDD as it is toast
Get SP3 in order to receive updates from MS. The link below is for the redistributable version, which you can save to disk or slipstream into your WinXP sp1 files and burn a new CDR. If you are interested in doing that then download nliteos from the second link below. Very easy to use. You can also integrate SATA drivers into the slipstream.
I might be wrong, but I don't think you can go straight from sp1 to sp3. I think you need to go to sp1a first
A thank you would be nice, if I have helped.
all service packs are cumulative which means they contain the previous sp updates.
ps your link says "If you have already installed Windows XP SP1, you do not need Windows XP SP1a."
Answers are only as good as the information you provide.
How to properly post a question:
Sorry no tech support via PM's
SP1a was introduced to remove the MS Java Virtual Machine after sun Micro-systems sued Microsoft and won. The same Updates was incorporated into SP2 but was removed from SP3.
So if you were updating from a vanilla XP or XP with SP1, you will need to install SP1a or SP2 before SP3.
Thanks I will give it a go
Thank you

There are historic bridges in Barton County and then there are bridges that are history.
On Tuesday, the Barton County Commission addressed the latter category.
Commissioners — meeting on Tuesday due to the New Year's holiday, Monday — approved acceptance of a Kansas Department of Transportation grant offer to replace "Bridge 203," an aging and unsafe structure located east and south of Kiowa Road, just southeast of Great Bend.
County Engineer Clark Rusco explained the wood and steel structure had been moved into this area in 1945, serving a couple of farms south of the old township dirt road that runs from Great Bend to Ellinwood.
The condition of the bridge, which was not new when it was moved to its present location, continued to deteriorate with age and the county has been working for years to get a deal to replace it.
The safety of the structure has become questionable enough that it could no longer be used by trash trucks, or even by most fire trucks.
The bridge will be replaced through the Off System Bridge Program with the funds to be available in Federal Fiscal Year 2013, Rusco reported.
According to information from the county, the cost of the project is estimated to be $576,630.
Once the county has performed its share of the engineering, for which it will be compensated, it's estimated the county's costs will run between $27,000 and $30,000, the county engineer estimated.
The county has considered replacing the road to the two farms in question, but that would cost even more for the county, it was noted.
Rusco said it's not uncommon for a bridge project to benefit few land owners in the immediate area of construction because most bridges are located in flood plain areas where there is usually little activity.
There are historic bridges in Barton County and then there are bridges that are history.

Objectives This study investigated the prevalence and electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic characteristics of aortic root ventricular arrhythmias (VAs).
Background Idiopathic VAs originating from the ostium of the left ventricle may be ablated at the base of the aortic cusps.
Methods We studied 265 patients with idiopathic VAs with an inferior QRS-axis morphology.
Results The successful ablation site was within (or below) the aortic cusps in 44 patients (16.6%). The site of the origin was the left coronary cusp (LCC) in 24 (54.5%), the right coronary cusp (RCC) in 14 (31.8%), the noncoronary cusp (NCC) in 1 (2.3%), and at the junction between the LCC and RCC (L-RCC) in 5 (11.4%) cases. The maximum amplitude of the R-wave in the inferior leads was significantly greater with an LCC than with an RCC origin (p < 0.05). The ratio of the R-wave amplitude in leads II and III was significantly greater with an LCC than with an RCC origin (p < 0.01) and was significantly smaller in the NCC than in the other sites (p < 0.0001). The ventricular deflection in the His bundle electrogram was significantly later relative to the surface QRS with an LCC or L-RCC origin than with an RCC or NCC origin (p < 0.0001). The ratio of the atrial-to-ventricular deflection amplitude was significantly greater in the NCC than in the other sites (p < 0.0001). No other factors predicted the site of origin.
Conclusions Idiopathic VAs are more common in the LCC than in the RCC and rarely arise from the NCC. The electrocardiogram is useful for differentiating the site of origin.
The myocardium around the ventricular outflow tract is a major source of idiopathic ventricular tachycardias (VTs) or premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) (1–8). Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a safe and reliable technique for curing those ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) (2–8). Several previous reports have revealed differences in the electrocardiographic characteristics of VAs originating from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), and aortic root regions (4–6,9). However, for VAs originating from the aortic root, information on the relationships between the location of their origin and prevalence and the electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic characteristics is limited. The present study was undertaken to examine the features that predict the site of origin in the aortic root.
Patient characteristics
The study population consisted of 265 consecutive patients (71 men, mean age 53 ± 15 years [range 16 to 80 years]) with symptomatic idiopathic sustained VT (n = 34), nonsustained VT (n = 56), or PVCs (n = 175) originating from the ventricular outflow tract. During the clinical arrhythmia, the surface electrocardiogram revealed a uniform QRS morphology with an inferior axis in all patients. Echocardiography and exercise stress testing or coronary angiography demonstrated no evidence of structural heart disease in any patients. Each patient gave written informed consent, and all antiarrhythmic drugs were discontinued for ≥5 half-lives before the study.
Electrophysiologic study
Six-French quadripolar catheters were introduced from the right femoral vein and placed across the tricuspid valve to record the His bundle (HB) activation and in the right ventricular (RV) apex for pacing. Mapping and pacing were performed using a 7-F 4-mm-tip ablation catheter introduced from the right femoral vein (for the RVOT) or right femoral artery (for the LVOT or aortic root). When few PVCs were observed at the beginning of the electrophysiologic study, induction of the VT or PVCs was attempted by burst pacing from the RVOT or apex with the addition of an isoproterenol infusion. During mapping of the LVOT or aortic sinus cusps (ASCs), intravenous heparin was administered to maintain an activated clotting time of >250 s.
Mapping and radiofrequency catheter ablation
Activation and pace mapping were performed in all cases to identify the VA origin site. In some patients, when VT or PVCs were frequent, electroanatomic mapping was performed as previously reported (10–12) (Fig. 1). Pace mapping was performed at a pacing cycle length of 500 ms and stimulus amplitude of 1 mA greater than the late-diastolic threshold. When the earliest site of activation was mapped to a site above the aortic valve, selective angiography of the coronary artery and aorta was performed before ablation to assess the anatomic relationships between those structures and the location of the ablation catheter. In cases where the distinction between the aortic sinuses could not be determined by angiography alone, intracardiac echocardiography also was used to identify the site of the ablation catheter. If the ablation site was close to the ostium of the coronary artery, radiofrequency ablation was performed with an angiographic catheter positioned within the coronary artery ostium with frequent hand injections of contrast (every 15 s). The wall of the ASCs as well as coronary artery flow was observed carefully by injecting an adequate volume of contrast to overflow into the ASC. A radiofrequency application was never delivered to an area within 5 mm of the angiographic catheter. Radiofrequency applications were delivered with a target temperature of 60°C and maximum power output of 50 W at sites exhibiting the earliest bipolar activity and/or a local unipolar QS pattern during the VT or PVCs. When an acceleration or reduction in the incidence of VT or PVCs was observed during the first 10 s of the application, the radiofrequency delivery was continued for 30 to 60 s. Otherwise, the radiofrequency delivery was terminated, and the catheter was repositioned. If the earliest ventricular activation was observed with an HB potential or close to the HB region during the VT or PVCs, radiofrequency energy was delivered at least 5 mm away from the site recording the largest HB potential, using an initial power of 30 W. The end point of the catheter ablation was the elimination and noninducibility of VT or PVCs during an isoproterenol infusion (2 to 4 µg/min) and burst pacing from the right ventricle (to a cycle length as short as 300 ms).
When VAs were suspected to originate from the epicardial side around the LVOT, mapping was performed in the great cardiac vein or anterior interventricular cardiac vein using a mapping or ablation catheter introduced via the right femoral or internal jugular vein. If mapping in those cardiac veins revealed the earliest activation preceding the onset of the QRS during the VAs and an excellent pace map, the VAs were considered to originate from the left ventricular (LV) epicardium.
Follow-up was performed at 2 weeks, 1 month, and every 3 months thereafter using 24-h Holter monitoring and 12-lead electrocardiograms. All patients who reported symptoms were given an event monitor to document the cause of the symptoms.
Statistical analysis
Continuous variables are expressed as the group mean ± 1 SD. Comparisons of the continuous variables between the 2 groups were analyzed with the use of the Student t test. When comparisons involved >2 groups, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used. When group differences were found, a 1-way ANOVA was followed by the Fisher least significant difference method to test the significance of the difference among the means in all groups. The categoric variables expressed as numbers and percentages in the different groups were compared with a chi-square test and Yates correction if necessary. An overall chi-square test for a 2 × n table was constructed when comparisons involved >2 groups. Statistical significance was selected at a p value of <0.05.
Overall mapping, catheter ablation, and follow-up
Successful ablation was acutely achieved in 260 of 265 patients. In the remaining 5 patients, an LV epicardial origin was identified that was not ablated. The successful ablation site was located in the aortic root in 44, RVOT in 199, LVOT in 11, LV epicardium in 3, and pulmonary artery in 3 of the patients. Eventually, in 8 of 265 patients, the VA origins were deemed to be epicardial. Two procedures were required to eliminate the VAs in the aortic root in 2 patients, RVOT in 15, and LVOT in 1. The number of radiofrequency applications required for a successful ablation was significantly larger in the VAs with an RVOT or LVOT origin than in those with an aortic root origin (4.0 ± 1.4 or 3.8 ± 0.8, respectively, vs. 2.2 ± 0.9; p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0005, respectively). Over a mean follow-up of 18 ± 12 months after the last procedure, VAs with the same QRS morphology as previously targeted recurred in 12 (11 [6%] in the RVOT and 1 [9%] in the LVOT; 3 [9%] were sustained VTs, 1 [2%] nonsustained VT, and 8 [5%] PVCs), and those VAs were excluded from the analysis because their origins were not fully defined. In the remaining 253 patients without a VA recurrence, the origin was determined to be in the aortic root in 44, RVOT in 188, LVOT in 10, LV epicardium in 8, and pulmonary artery in 3. The basic demographics of those patients are given in Table 1. Three patients with an RVOT, LVOT, or left coronary cusp (LCC) VA origin were complicated by cardiomyopathy induced by frequent PVCs. In all cases, the LV ejection fraction was <45% at baseline and normalized within 3 months after the elimination of the VAs.
Catheter ablation of VAs with an origin in the aortic root
Successful ablation was achieved in all 44 patients (100%) with aortic root VAs. This represented 17.3% of the successfully ablated patients or 16.6% of all patients. The VA origin was determined to be in the LCC in 24 (54.5%), right coronary cusp (RCC) in 14 (31.8%), junction between the left and right coronary cusps (L-RCC) in 5 (11.4%), and noncoronary cusp (NCC) in 1 (2.3%) patient. The distance from the tip of the ablation catheter to the left or right coronary artery ostia was 12.9 ± 3.1 mm (range 7.5 to 17.2 mm) and 10.5 ± 3.0 mm (range 8.3 to 18.1 mm), respectively.
In the catheter ablation of the L-RCC VAs, the tip of the ablation catheter was positioned at that site by deflecting the loop of the ablation catheter in the LV cavity in 3 patients or on the NCC in the remaining 2 (Fig. 1). In all patients with an RCC or NCC origin, the earliest RV activation preceding the QRS onset was recorded in the HB region, whereas in the patients with an LCC or L-RCC origin, the local ventricular activation in the RV HB region never preceded the QRS onset (Figs. 1 to 3).⇓⇓ In 2 of our initial patients with a VA origin in the RCC or NCC contiguous to the RCC, radiofrequency applications were first delivered near the HB region in the right ventricle, because the local ventricular activation preceded the QRS onset (Fig. 2) and a good pace map (score = 10 of 12) was obtained. These radiofrequency applications did not interrupt the VAs, but caused a slight change in the QRS morphology, with a prolongation of the QRS duration and attenuation and delay of the high-amplitude near-field ventricular electrogram in the RV HB region. The low-amplitude far-field ventricular electrogram preceding the QRS onset was then separated from the near-field ventricular electrogram after the QRS onset in the RV HB region (Fig. 2). Successful radiofrequency ablation was achieved in the NCC, where the local ventricular activation was recorded simultaneously with the activation of the far-field ventricular electrogram in the RV HB region (Fig. 2). The amplitude of the atrial deflection in the local electrogram was greater than that of the ventricular deflection only when the site of origin was within the NCC (Fig. 2). During 13 of 14 RCC VAs (the exception being 1 patient in which radiofrequency ablation was first attempted at the RV HB region), a low-amplitude far-field ventricular electrogram preceding the high-amplitude near-field ventricular electrogram was recognized in the RV HB region (Fig. 3). In only 3 of 14 RCC VAs, an HB electrogram was recorded at the successful ablation site (Fig. 3). During the catheter ablation of those VAs, no junctional rhythm or AH or HV delays were observed.
In none of the cases with aortic root VAs could a sustained VT be terminated during successful radiofrequency applications. Even in the cases with clinically documented sustained VT, the induction of sustained VT was not always attempted if frequent PVCs with a QRS morphology identical to that of the sustained VT were observed during the electrophysiologic study. In some cases, sustained VT terminated during mapping probably because of a mechanical effect (Fig. 4), and thereafter only PVCs were induced.
Comparison of the clinical, electrocardiographic, and electrophysiologic parameters in the VAs originating from the aortic root
The results of the clinical, electrocardiographic, and electrophysiologic parameters of the VAs with their determined origins are given in Table 2. There were no significant differences in the clinical characteristics or standard electrocardiographic parameters (such as the morphology [in leads I and aVL as well] or precordial transition) between the origin sites within the aortic root (Fig. 5). However, a right bundle branch block and right inferior axis QRS morphology was observed only in the VAs with an LCC origin, and an R-wave in lead aVL was observed only with an origin in the NCC. The maximal amplitude of the R-wave in the inferior leads was significantly greater in the LCC VAs than in the RCC VAs (p < 0.05) (Fig. 5). The ratio of the R-wave amplitude in leads II and III (III/II ratio) was significantly greater for the VAs with an LCC origin than for those with an RCC origin (p < 0.01) and was significantly smaller for the 1 NCC origin than for the other sites (p < 0.0001) (Fig. 5). Comparing origins in the LCC and RCC, a III/II ratio of >0.9 predicted an LCC origin with a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 64.2%, positive predictive accuracy of 80.0%, and negative predictive accuracy of 100%.
There were no significant differences in the electrophysiologic parameters such as local ventricular activation time relative to the QRS onset, amplitude of the atrial or ventricular electrograms at the successful ablation site, or duration or number of radiofrequency applications needed for successful ablation between the sites of origin in the aortic root. The local ventricular activation time relative to the QRS onset at the RV HB region was significantly greater for the VAs with LCC and L-RCC origins than for those with RCC and individual NCC origins (p < 0.0001). The amplitude ratios in the atrial and ventricular electrograms were significantly greater for the 1 NCC origin than for the other sites (p < 0.0001).
Sinus bradycardia followed by complete AV conduction block occurred in 1 patient with PVCs with an RCC origin, in whom an HB electrogram was not recorded at the successful ablation site. Both sinus node function and AV conduction recovered soon after termination of radiofrequency delivery in this patient. No other complications occurred. Coronary arteriograms demonstrated no change in the coronary artery flow or diameter after the ablation compared with baseline.
This study revealed that VAs more commonly originate from the LCC than from the RCC and are rare in the NCC. Anatomic studies may provide the rationale for those findings (13,14). The aortic root and the mitral valve form attachments to the circular ostium of the left ventricle (Fig. 6). The aortic root consists of 3 sinuses of Valsalva, 2 of which (the right and left sinuses) make direct contact with the ostium of the left ventricle. Spatially, the aortic root occupies a central location within the heart, with the NCC anterior and superior to the paraseptal region of the left and right atria close to the superior atrioventricular junctions. In all normally structured human hearts, the NCC is adjacent to the atrial myocardium on the epicardial aspect and does not directly contact the ventricular myocardium of either the right or the left ventricle (Fig. 5). Indeed, atrial tachycardias can be ablated within the NCC (15). Therefore, in normal human hearts, VAs should not arise from the NCC, and the present case of a successful ablation of the VA within the NCC is quite unusual. The electrogram recorded at the ablation site demonstrated a very small ventricular potential and a large atrial potential, as would be expected at this location. It seems likely that the ablation lesion may have extended to the posterior portion of the RCC, thereby ablating a portion of the ostium of the left ventricle. It is also possible that this case represented an anatomic variant in which the LV myocardium was more closely apposed to the NCC than normally.
This study included VAs arising from the L-RCC as originating from the aortic root because of several considerations. Because of the semilunar nature of the attachments of the aortic valvular cusps, there are 3 triangular extensions of the aortic root that reach to the level of the sinotubular junction of the aorta, located approximately 1 cm above the base of either cusp (Fig. 6). These extensions are bound by thin fibrous walls of the aorta between the expanded sinuses. At the base of the LCC and RCC, the ventricular myocardium of the ostium of the left ventricle comes in direct contact with the aorta (Fig. 6). It is quite likely that ventricular arrhythmias that can be ablated within the base of the LCC and RCC actually arise from the most superior portion of the ostium of the left ventricle. Although the ventricular myocardium at the L-RCC forms the ostium of the left ventricle at the same level as that connecting with the LCC and RCC, it is located beneath the true anatomic junction of those cusps (Fig. 6), as confirmed by our practical findings in the catheter ablation of the L-RCC VAs. Actually, the present study demonstrated that the clinical, electrocardiographic, and electrophysiologic characteristics of the L-RCC VAs were similar to those of the LCC or RCC VAs. The site of the ablation of those L-RCC VAs provides an insight into all arrhythmias arising from the LVOT. Although some arrhythmias can be ablated within the LCC or RCC, those should not be considered to be true ASC VAs; rather, those VAs, whether approached by a catheter from above or below the aortic valvular annulus, should be considered to arise from the ostium of the left ventricle.
Anatomic studies have revealed a close relationship between the RCC or NCC and the HB (5,15). The posterior part of the RCC is adjacent to the central fibrous body, which carries within it the penetrating portion of the HB. Anteriorly, the RCC is related to the bifurcating atrioventricular bundle and the origin of the left bundle branch. The NCC lies superior to the central fibrous body through which the HB penetrates. The present study demonstrates that the local ventricular activation time relative to the QRS onset at the RV HB region might be an electrophysiologic clue for differentiating VA origins in the LCC and L-RCC from those in the RCC and NCC. In catheter ablation of those arrhythmias, the HB catheter may be a useful landmark for mapping within the RCC and NCC. During catheter ablation within the RCC and NCC, the proximity of the RCC and NCC to the HB should be kept in mind to avoid inadvertent damage to the AV conduction system.
The electrocardiographic parameters may not be helpful in differentiating between VAs with an origin in each aortic root site, probably because those sites were located contiguously to each other in the limited space. However, the present study may provide several electrocardiographic algorithms for differentiating VAs originating from the aortic root. An R-wave in lead aVL during the VAs may exclude an origin in the LCC, RCC, or L-RCC. A right bundle branch block QRS morphology during the VAs may suggest that the VAs never originate from the RCC, NCC, or L-RCC. For the 2 major sites of origin within the aortic root (LCC and RCC), the R-wave amplitude ratio in leads II and III may be the most helpful discriminating factor. The activation time in the HB region may be helpful for explaining the last 2 electrocardiographic characteristics. Although the activation time at successful ablation sites did not differ significantly between the LCC and RCC VAs, in the HB region it was significantly earlier during RCC VAs than LCC VAs. These findings suggest that the activation from the RCC may propagate to the ventricular septum and right ventricle before the LV free wall, whereas that from the LCC may do so after part of the LV free wall activates. Although the LCC and the RCC are located adjacent to each other, the horizontal vectors of the activation from those sites may be in opposite directions.
Serious complications, such as chronic left main coronary artery occlusions (16) or aortic regurgitation, may be possible during catheter ablation of aortic root VAs. However, these complications may be prevented if radiofrequency ablation is performed using the technique described in the present study, where the only complication was transient sinus bradycardia followed by transient complete AV conduction block, which occurred during radiofrequency ablation in the RCC. Anatomic studies have demonstrated that the anteriorly situated RVOT passes slightly superior to and leftward of the aortic valve and there is an anterior epicardial fat pad containing parasympathetic ganglia between the pulmonary infundibulum and the RCC (5,14,17). Therefore, radiofrequency energy deliveries from the RCC may have a thermal effect on the anterior epicardial fat pad, resulting in vagal stimulation.
There are several novel findings of the present study compared with earlier reports. First, this is the first report to propose the new concept of VAs originating from the aortic root as a part of the ventricular ostium. This concept is supported by computerized tomography images illustrating a continuous anatomic opening into the left ventricle with the attachments of the aortic root anteriorly and the mitral annulus posteriorly. The ostium of the left ventricle is divided centrally by the contiguous structures the NCC of the aorta and the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. Second, this study confirms that the anatomic features of the aortic root explain the far higher prevalence of VAs from the LCC and RCC than from the NCC. Although there have been a few reports describing NCC VAs (18,19), none have included local electrograms at the successful ablation site. Furthermore, the 12-lead electrocardiograms during the proposed NCC VAs exhibited very similar characteristics to those of the RCC VAs in this study. Therefore, we believe that the NCC VAs in earlier reports might have actually originated from the RCC. The careful radiographic imaging used in the present study is likely to provide a more accurate description of the prevalence of the aortic root VAs. And third, whereas most of the earlier studies contrasted the electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic characteristics of the aortic root VAs with those arising in the RVOT or LVOT (5,6), the present study compared those features for VAs confined to the aortic root.
Study limitations
The fact that there was only 1 NCC origin precludes meaningful statistical comparisons with the LCC and RCC origins. However, the mere fact that only 1 of 44 origins in the aortic root was found in the NCC attests to the rarity of this location as a site for the aortic root VA origin.
This study revealed that the LCC is the most common ablation location of aortic root VAs, followed by the RCC and the L-RCC. The NCC is rarely the site of origin. The ratio of the R-wave amplitude in leads II and III and the local ventricular activation time relative to the QRS onset at the HB region were helpful for differentiating an origin within the LCC from that within the RCC.

I have been getting questions on what hair products I use on a daily bases and how I curl my hair. My hair is the one thing that takes me the longest to style but it is my favorite!! I am glad you guys asked because I'm happy to share!! I even made a few videos showing you how I curl my hair – because I just thought explaining it would be too difficult haha:)
What Products I Use
Shampoo & Conditioner
First of all, I love Monat hair products and I have been using them about 5 months now. My hair has always been thick and healthyish but after I started dying my hair in college it has become more dry and damaged. Monat has taken it to another level!!! Right now I use the Intense Repair Shampoo & Conditioner which is called the Let it Grow System. If you have thin and/or damaged hair this will be great for you! I cut over 6 inches off my hair for my wedding and I'm ready for it to grow back:) I previously have used the Magnify System and I loved that one as well!! If you have any questions about Monat, I talked about tons of awesome products previously, so use this link to read all about Monat!!!
Leave-in Products
I religiously use an amazing product by Monat, call Rejuvabeads. It is a leave in cream that targets and treats broken and damaged hair strands!! It always leaves my hair so silky soft and shiny. I use it after every wash while my hair is still wet. At times, I will also use It's a 10. I also apply it to wet hair after the shower. It is similar to a leave in conditioner, I have found that it helps so much with frizz and tangles!! I have naturally thick and curly hair so it can be unruly at times and these two leave in products are my life savers!!
Dry Shampoo & Hair Spray
Monat has an amazing dry shampoo!! It truly feels like I just washed my hair without the white dusty look. I've also had really good lucky with the Batiste dry shampoo!! As for hairspray, I swear by Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Hairspray!!! It is the only hairspray that holds my hair and lasts all day long! Plus, it doesn't make your hair crunchy when you use a lot!
And that is pretty much it – I don't use a lot of products in my hair. I try to keep it simple and healthy. A couple other Monat products that I love but don't use on a daily bases are: mousse & blow out cream. The mousse is amazing when I want to leave my hair natural, especially in the summer, it holds curl and tames the friz!! The blow out cream is great if you blow dry your hair a lot and need some heat protection!!
How I Curl My Hair
I curl my hair like I am using a wand except I use a regular curling iron. I have had this Hot Shot Gold Series curling iron since at least college, maybe high school. It is my all time favorite and so affordable!! It is the only curling iron around this price point that curls my hair and it stays for a long period of time. I tried a few different ones before landing on this one years ago. A few of my bests friends also swear by it too, so you know it is legit:) I use the 1-1/2in but I also have the 1in!! Although I have a regular curling iron, I actually don't use the clamp and I curl it like I would with a wand. If you already have a wand, you can just take the styling ideas and try them out!!
Here are the videos demonstrating how to curl your hair…
Part one: shows you my natural hair before, how I split my hair into two sections and the process behind the actual curling.
Part two: showing you what the bottom layer looks like when finished and how I split up the top layer.
Part three: shows how I curl the pieces around my face and the final product:)
After I curl my hair, it will typically last me 2 days and sometimes 3 if I am lucky!! The second day I just brush my hair out and touch up a few pieces around my face but leave the rest loose. It takes me about 20-30 minutes to curl it the first time. For all my Mommas out there, this is a effortless way to look nice when you have no time to get yourself ready – the 3rd day throw on a hat if dry shampoo isn't helping your roots:) If you have any other hair care questions shoot them my way!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Harvard and Radcliffe Alumni/ae Against ApartheidView objects associated with this organization:
All (42) | Documents (40) | Buttons (2)
Duration: 1985 - 1991
Location: Pelham, Massachusetts, United States
The Harvard and Radcliffe Alumni/ae Against Apartheid (HRAAA) campaigned for Harvard University to adopt a policy of divesting its stock in companies operating in South Africa. The organization's strategy was to use the "nomination by petition" system to nominate alumni for the Harvard Board of Overseers and to urge alumni/ae to support their slate. Three alumni/ae were nominated using this method in 1985-86 under the name "Alumni Against Apartheid," and Gay Seidman was elected to the Board. The group ran a second slate of six candidates in 1986-87 under the name Harvard-Radcliffe Alumni/ae Against Apartheid, and two candidates were elected: Consuela Washington and Peter Wood. In response to their efforts to organize a discussion and vote on the issue of divestment, leaders of the Board of Overseers instead convinced the Board to establish a joint Harvard Corporation/ Overseers committee to consider a policy of "selective divestment." In 1988-89, the group was successful in electing Archbishop Desmond Tutu to the Board, after he had stated that he would return his honorary degree unless Harvard University divested entirely from South Africa. In response to the HRAAA's use of the petition system, the Board of Overseers changed the election procedures to require more petition signatures and many more votes to elect someone to the Board. The HRAAA ran two more slates of candidates (including Barack Obama, former President of the Harvard Law Review, in 1991), but none of its candidates were elected after the procedural change. In 1988, the organization expanded its mission to include other aspects of institutionalized racism at Harvard and other issues of social justice in the University's internal life and its relationship to the outside world. A video clip from WGBH Ten O'clock News of March 9, 1989 with HRAAA members Robert Wolff, Robert Zevin, and Linda Davidoff addressing a small crowd on the Harvard Campus is available in the WGBH archives at [Harvard/Radcliffe Alumni Against Apartheid].

Commenting on today's GDP figures, David Kern, BCC Economic Adviser said:
"Today's preliminary GDP figures are showing a strong quarterly increase of 0.8%, highlighting the robustness of the UK economy. The new estimate confirms the results of the BCC's recent QES figures. Manufacturing growth accelerated in the quarter and Services was slightly down.
"Unfortunately the strong figures will heighten pressure for higher interest rates, at a time when the case for further tightening policy are by no means conclusive. There are already signs that the housing market is softening slightly, and yesterday's retail sales figures were weaker then expected. We urge the MPC to maintain a cautious stance, and not rush to increase interest rates further before the results of previous increases become clear".

The 131MW Cimarron II wind farm in Gray County, will supply electricity to Kansas City Power & Light, under a 20 year power purchase agreement.
The completion comes a year after Duke Energy bought the Cimarron II project from CPV Renewable Energy, which owns the first phase of the development, Cimarron I.
In April, Duke Energy sold a 50% stake in the project to Japan's Sumitomo, along with a 50% stake in a second Kansas wind farm under development, the 168MW Ironwood wind farm in Ford County. Construction on Ironwood started in autumn 2011.
Last year the company also announced plans to buy the 20MW Shirley wind project in Wisconsin from Central Hudson Enterprises, a move which it says will push its total generating capacity over the 1GW mark.
Duke Energy, which says it has invested more than $1.5 billion in wind and solar since 2007, operates nearly 1 GW of generating capacity at nine US wind farms – four in Wyoming, three in Texas, one in Colorado and one in Pennsylvania.

Let's get the paperwork out of the way so we can get right to taking good care of your kids.
"When we moved to Bend from SoCal we were a bit concerned about finding doctors who would be comparable in professionalism and expertise as those we were fortunate to work with in San Diego. Our concerns were instantly put to rest when we met Dr. Warton. Not only did she display all the qualities we were looking for in a superior pediatrician, she went above and beyond personally to get to know each of us and connect us with other extraordinary providers in the community. Even after two years, she continues to impress us, particularly by her flexibility to ALWAYS be available to us, even after hours. We feel so fortunate to be included in Dr. Warton's client family and would follow her anywhere!"
"We have had the most amazing experience with JB and her concierge pediatrician service. We will continue to use JB as our concierge doctor and know we are in great hands. We also value our new friendship with such a compassionate team!"
"Dr. Warton is the best doctor! She is nice, funny, and make us feel comfortable, even when we are sick. We feel lucky to have her as our doctor!"
