Power Players
The television news last Thursday featured a video clip of five male religious leaders testifying before a house "oversight" committee about the White House birth control mandate. A female law student from Georgetown University, invited by Democrats, was not allowed to testify because Rep. Darrell Issa, the male Republican chair of the committee, deemed her not "qualified" to discuss the issue. "Congressional Birth Control Hearing Involves Exactly Zero People Who Have a Uterus," was the headline on Jezebel.
That same day, I had revisited "The Deconstructive Impulse: Women Artists Reconfigure the Signs of Power, 1973-1991" at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston. The show features decades-old work fueled by feminist cultural critique. You would think much of it would feel dated 30-some years later — a glimpse into the way things used to be — but, unfortunately, things haven't changed that much.
The traveling exhibition was curated by Helaine Posner, Chief Curator and Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs at the Neuberger Museum of Art, and Nancy Princenthal, art critic and former Senior Editor at Art in America. The curators assert that deconstructive art was heavily shaped by women and that their role has been unacknowledged, with the movement's feminist origins subsumed into a larger, un-gendered cultural critique. It's an interesting and valid point.
"The Deconstructive Impulse: Women Artists Reconfigure the Signs of Power, 1973-1991"
Through April 15. The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, 5216 Montrose Boulevard, 713-284-8250.
The show features some classic works from some legendary women artists, 22 in all, plus the anonymous collective The Guerrilla Girls. If you've ever heard of any women artists from the period, you'll recognize most of the names and a lot of the art; if you haven't, it's a great opportunity to see these highly influential works. Jenny Holzer's Truisms are on view, as well as Cindy Sherman's early Untitled Film Stills and Carrie Mae Weems's Untitled (Kitchen Table Series). A portion of Mary Kelly's epic Post-Partum Document, chronicling her son's development and her experience of motherhood, is also included.

A few works feel somewhat shoehorned into the curators' organizing principles and the subcategories they set up — "Women's Experience," "Masquerade," "Appropriation," "Mass Media," "Fashion" and "Critique of Cultural Institutions" — but aside from the occasional curatorial quirk, the show is pretty great.
Laurie Simmons's iconic staged photographs were made by using dolls and dollhouse furniture and accessories. Mom is in the kitchen in her June Cleaver dress, poised in the act of preparing a meal for her family. The scenes, with their carefully arranged toy props, look cute and kitschy on the surface, but there is an edge to the work. The doll figures and their eternally perfect, molded plastic hair sit and stand rigidly in their dollhouse environments, their smiles forever fixed. There is something claustrophobic and subtly Stepford-wife creepy in the photographs, more obviously in the black-and-white images. There is an unspoken narrative of entrapment and frustration emanating from these figures.
As with a lot of works in the show, I've seen these images by Simmons hundreds of times, but hardly any of her later stuff. With some Google searching, you can see clips from a film Simmons cast with hand puppets and a recent photo series featuring staged scenes incorporating the lifelike, 21st-century version of the blowup doll. I wouldn't mind seeing a retrospective of her work, and that holds true for a lot of these artists.
Sherman had a retrospective at MOMA last year, and it's coming to the Dallas Museum of Art but not Houston next year. There are similar stories for some of the other artists, but in general, they mainly show up in group shows of women. Adrian Piper is fantastic, but I pretty much only see her in group exhibitions about race or gender. Basically, most of this work is too often used to fill a niche or illustrate a point, rather than showcased as the creative output of a single artist.
One of my favorite pieces on display is Martha Rosler's 1982 video, Martha Rosler Reads Vogue. The magazine was, incidentally, also in the news last week, on the same Thursday as the birth control hearings, for featuring recording artist Adele on its cover in a photo that depicted the somewhat zaftig Adele cinched into a corset, her face angled up and dramatically lit to hide any jawline chubbiness. There were additional suggestions of aggressive photo retouching. In her video, Rosler flips through a copy of Vogue, filled with the fashion and hairstyles of '80s Reagan-era excess. Offering a running commentary in the 28-minute video, she chants, "inspiration, ambience, architecture, art...the new you, the woman who hopes and wants and identifies with her social betters, the rich...shopping, hoping, dreaming, spending."
Rosler analyzes the advertising and points out the (blatant) phallic imagery in cosmetic ads featuring models with fully extended red lipsticks clenched between their teeth. She indicts the manufacturing practices of the fashion industry, showing scenes from sweatshops and recounting a period controversy over the origins of Nancy Reagan's Adolfo couture. She explains to us that "40 percent of the clothes sold in the U.S. are made in the Third World." Today, 98 percent of our clothing is manufactured abroad.
The artist breaks down the magazine's circulation, its ad rates (one black-and-white, full-page ad, circa 1982, ran more than eight grand). She reads from some gushing article in the magazine about Cy Twombly's fabulous Italian home and studio. In short, Rosler reveals the magazine's appeal, its hidden messages, its agenda and its complicity in any number of social and economic injustices. While this kind of critique has become familiar today, it's still timely. At Vogue, it's Same Shit Different Decade. The agenda, like digitally and physically manipulating a chubby 23-year-old into something the magazine deems acceptable, hasn't changed.
In a quote from a New York Times review of the exhibition, which originated at the Neuberger Museum of Art, co-curator Helaine Posner said, "Younger generations of women artists have been the beneficiaries of all the work that was done previously, feminism has opened up many possibilities for them, so maybe their awareness of being women doesn't have to be as central as it was a few decades ago. Feminism really has changed the world."
But the world could do with significantly more change, and so could museums. "The Deconstructive Impulse" includes some classic Guerrilla Girls posters from the '80s, including THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING A WOMAN ARTIST (1988), which features lines like, "Knowing your career might pick up when you are eighty," "Not having to be in shows with men" and "Having the opportunity to choose between career and motherhood."
As I pointed out in a blog post on Glasstire, theses posters are sadly still relevant almost 30 years later. The CAMH, where this show is presented, hasn't given a main gallery solo show to a woman in almost five years. And all of the seven solo shows in both CAMH galleries last year went to men. [If you're following the diversity stats, except for one African-American artist, all the men were white, although three were openly gay. CAMH director Bill Arning sent me a thoughtful response to the post, acknowledging the disparity and stating that scheduling issues inadvertently resulted in the CAMH's "Year of the Guy." He also told me that two main gallery solo shows by women artists were in the works, with "Jane Alexander: Surveys (from the Cape of Good Hope)" scheduled for summer.]
It's telling that women get left out even by socially aware and well-intentioned institutions. The CAMH isn't pursuing some exclusionary anti-woman agenda, and, if you don't take gender into account, it has a pretty admirable record on diversity. But with women more than half the population, that this stuff simply happens, without specific exclusionary intent, is revealing of how entrenched these inequities are.
Deconstructive strategies have been around for a while, but they are still a powerful tool, in art as well as life. The kind of media analysis these artists practice has filtered into the culture at large. Last week, after all those men got together for that now-infamous birth control hearing, Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer's 16-year-old grandson got that something was off. Upon seeing a photo of the gathering, he immediately remarked, "It's all dudes."
Looks like some progress has been made. Thanks, ladies.

Women 'change hairstyles 100 times' during their lifetime
Women typically change hairstyles up to 100 times throughout their life according to fashion magazine Grazia.
An average female will get her hair shortened, layered or coloured at least twice a year between the ages of 13 and 65 according to the research.
Most women will try at least three different colours during this period, with a third changing their style after breakups and almost half opting for a new look purely through boredom.
Hairdresser Andrew Collinge , who commissioned the survey of 3,000 women, said that the 'Rachel' cut, made popular by Jennifer Aniston in Friends, is still the most popular style.
The Jennifer Aniston hair archives: A guide to shaking up your style
'My feeling is that women are changing their looks little and often rather than dramatic changes' Collinge told Grazia
'For example, you can add modern texture without altering the length just by adding some layers or by drying and styling differently — think Jennifer Aniston.' he added.

Tamannah has taken Rs. 2 crs for an item song, in Bellamkonda Suresh's 'Tudigadu.' Not that she demanded it. But she was offered this amount just to expose herself a little and jiggle to some fast beats. Milky Beauty, who is not having any films on hand at present, decided to give it a go. Suresh's heir Srinivas is the hero. Devineni Srinivas is the director for the film.

The original hope was for
Daniel Bryan to be ready to return at the Money in the Bank PPV. WWE then
received word over the weekend that Bryan may not be cleared in time to compete
at the event. On May 15th, Bryan had a procedure on his neck called "a cervical
foraminotomy". For most, recovery time is said to be eight to ten weeks. The
Money in the Bank PPV would be at about the six-week mark. While the company
hoped for a return at Money in the Bank, some within WWE didn't expect Bryan
back until SummerSlam. This should come as no shock but WWE wants him back ASAP
and there is the possibility they will bring him back early. There are some
people rolling their eyes over that but they've done it in the past with
numerous top talents who have been injured.
Last night's segment with
Stephanie McMahon was WWE's way of setting up a back up plan. It was announced
last night that if Daniel Bryan is cleared to wrestle, he will defend against
Kane in a stretcher match. If he can't, then the belt will be on the line in the
Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

It's been a crazy couple of weeks for the Philadelphia 76ers, as they
pulled off the weirdest upset in NBA history against the East-best
(though roster-depleted) Chicago Bulls and now face an aging-but-loaded
Celtics team with the chance to make the Conference Finals (!!) for the
first time since 2001. As always, we called in Michael Levin of the
excellent Sixers blog Liberty Ballers to help us put the Bulls series to
bed, see what we have coming with the Celtics, and generally figure out
what the hell is going on.
Andrew: All right, so first and foremost: You stopped laughing about that Game Six ending yet?
Michael Levin, Liberty Ballers: Yeah at some point I had to go to sleep, so eventually, yeah. It was close though.
Our editor at the Level wrote an article about the two FTs being 'Dre's signature moment as a Sixer. You agree?
I'd guess that's how he'll make his stamp. When I think signature
moment I think of like something he does often? So maybe a huge dunk to
win it or a big stop. But in terms of meaningful, yeah this was the
biggest moment.
Which would you have said to be more likely before Thursday: The
Sixers winning a playoff series on 'Dre's clutch FT shooting, or the
2008 Phillies winning the world series on Pat Burrell stealing home?
Hahahha Dre's foul shots. I've seen Pat run far too many times to
know he's not stealing home or anything else anymore. Not since he was
like 22. Dre used to be a decent foul shooter. He just tailspinned the
past two years.
But can you think of a more...maybe not ironic, but like,
poetically unexpected way for the Sixers to have won this series? How
many times have we seen 'Dre come up on short in this near-exact
It was perfect poetic justice. Maybe Turner nailing a three. Or Lou
making a huge defensive stop. But Dre at the line was the ultimate
vindicator for him and for the team. I hate to say "you can't script
this" and that crap, but it was the absolute perfect way to end that
Did it even cross your mind that he might make both, or were you thinking "Just hit one, send it to OT"?
don't know that I thought will he make one or two or none, I knew I was
confident. Earlier that game I said he'd been money from the foul line
this series. Which, money for him was like 80%. So I felt better about
his foul shooting at least temporarily, but I've seen him miss so many
late game free throws that it probably crossed my mind that he'll brick
both. But I'm not sure -- in hindsight it feels like I was confident.
It seems like the Sixers, who have struggled all year to close
out close games even against subpar teams, finally figured out how to do
it in this series. Is that legitimate development, a fluke against an
undermanned team, or just odds saying you have to win a couple close
games eventually?
I'd say the last two. Without Rose and Noah, the Bulls don't have
many options to go to. CJ Watson shouldn't have been in the game at the
end, but he had to because he's the only alternative. He shouldn't make
that pass to Omer Asik, who ALSO shouldn't have been in the game. But
when you're that undermanned, you gotta play somebody.
And yeah I've been saying "they're due" all season long. You can
only lose by 4 so many times before something goes their way. And the
Basketball Gods picked a good time to finally give them a few bounces.
How much of an upset, if at all, would you call this win? Were the Bulls still a better team, even without their top two guys?
I'd call it even. The Sixers are as good as the Bulls minus their two best players. Not exactly a confidence booster.
So sad, yeah.
If the Bulls had a few games without
Rose and Noah going into the series, i think it would have been
different. But happening so close together when you have this gameplan
and then it falling apart, I don't think they had time to recover.
What was your primary feeling after the end of Game Six,
excitement and elation over the Sixers' win, or relief that both the
Sixers weren't going to blow the series and you wouldn't have to watch a
Game Seven?
Hahahaha ummm....excitement for Dre. That was the #1 thing. And
yeah, I was really thrilled that we don't have to watch another game
between those two teams. Even if the Celtics series won't be much
better. Or possibly (gasp), worse.
And I wasn't so worried that the Sixers would blow the series,
because I'm not exactly invested in their success this postseason, but
it's fun to watch them win, even with the knowledge that no, all of this
doesn't matter because they're not good enough.
Was there one unreserved positive that we could take from the
series win, besides just "Hey, we won a series for the first time in a
Initially, it was the success of [Evan] Turner and
Jrue [Holiday]. But that kind of tailed off towards the end, so....I'm
not sure. I guess the positive would be - they won a series, and now
people in Philadelphia might watch them play. That could be nice. I
think it would take another series win for people to actually care. But
we'll see if it's at least temporarily meaningful for the state of
professional basketball in the city.
What grades would you give Evan and Jrue's performances in this series?
of them were pretty terrific defensively, especially Jrue. And they did
take the ball to the basket a lot, which I liked. So I'd give Jrue a B+
and Evan a B. But I might be going a little easy on them because I'm in
love with both of them. So take that into consideration too.
What grade would you give Coach Collins?
C-. Got the wins, but I disagreed with so many of his calls that it makes me hyperventilate.
Were you disappointed that in the end, he trusted Lou and 'Dre over Jrue and Evan again?
Yeah especially because of how the series started. It was very
promising and then...Boss. Dre in Game 5 was more on him than it was
Doug, in my opinion, but I'm bitter about him benching Evan in favor of
Lou towards the end.
Are you worried about the win sidetracking the Sixers'
development? That maybe it'll be an excuse to get the band back together
yet again in the off-season?
My opinion is that if the
owners watched this series and think this team deserves to be kept
together, then we have a bigger problem than just one year of not
rebuilding. They'd have to be batshit crazy to think this team that
barely beat the Bulls minus their two best players is worth keeping
But do you think that now, Andre Iguodala, Playoff Hero is untradeable in the off-season?
No I think he's still gone. What they get for him I'm not sure. I'm hoping a pick, a contract, and a prospect.
What about Spencer Hawes? Did he make himself money in this series, and will it be the Sixers giving it to him?
can't imagine the Sixers bringing him back. I'm operating under the
assumption that Doug is the coach next season, and I'm pretty sure he
will be. That's why I don't think Andre or Spence will be back.
Lou [Williams]...... I'm worried. Really worried. My hope is that he
wants to start somewhere and he'll go where the money is. But if he
likes being here and doesn't mind coming off the bench, then we're in
Who do you think the Celtics were hoping came out of this series?
Sixers. The Bulls would still give them trouble inside.
Even with the young legs and the 2/3 wins and everything?
I'm sure they don't really care about the 2 out of 3 wins in the
regular season. One game was when Pietrus went down. And both games had
the Celtics at the end of long stretches. They know they're the better
But do you think the youth will be any kind of advantage for the
Sixers? Can they win a game or two running the C's out of the gym?
I think they've certainly got a chance to, providing one of the bigger
Celtics gets hurt. Youth is mostly on their side, and if they commit to
pushing it in transition and a few shots go in, we could be talking
about a series.
How do you think the Sixers deal with [Celtics Point Guard Rajon] Rondo? How would you have them do it?
put Turner on him. Have a bigger guy handle him, disrupt passing lanes
and such. Get Jrue on [Avery] Bradley and make him as annoyed as he'll
make Jrue on the other end.
Is [Celtics Forward Kevin] Garnett the toughest matchup for the Sixers in this series? How do they handle KG?
think Brand/Thad/Spencer/Lavoy will all take turns on him. He'll get
his but I don't think he'll be the problem. I'm more worried about the
Sixers not being able to score than the Celtics scoring a lot.
Who's the key for the Sixers offensively, then? Is there one?
everybody. They need help from everyone. I think Sugar Bear [Elton
Brand] will have a big series because he's crazy like that. If Thad can
break out that would be huge. Dre making Pierce work on the other end
would certainly be nice. And obviously Evan and Jrue. Get to the basket,
get people in foul trouble. Find Elton for open jumpers. Gotta hit
shots, gotta keep moving. Can't dribble yourself into trouble.
If there's one thing you want to see from the team in this series short of them actually winning it, what would it be?
and Jrue. Efficient and being used frequently. Attacking the basket,
playing good defense, and getting the call when it matters most.
Everything else is gravy.
How confident are you feeling that they'll be the ones Collins leans on?
Not very!
right, give me a prediction of winner and games, and then give me the
odds you think the Sixers have of pulling out the upset.
Hahah this is going to contradict everything I've said but
Sixers in 6. And I have no clue what the odds are. That's my pick, for
better or worse.
Where is that pick stemming from?
Fuck Me, that's why. Everything the Sixers do is to spite me
personally. So they'll win, resign Lou and Spencer to max contracts, and
I'll be here shaking my head. Oh and then they'll get plastered by
Miami. Before resigning those guys, obviously.
Maybe LeBron and Wade get hurt and the Sixers make the finals
just by virtue of still having seven or eight competent basketball
players to dress.
That's going to be how it has to happen. Then they'll win it all and we'll be like What the Fuck just happened.
8:00 tip on Game One form the TD Banknorth Garden tonight. Go Sixers.

Sanath to contest from Matara
You seem to me like those middle aged 'Aunties' who watch daily soaps, and gossip about other people personal life. You're no one to comment on his personal life.
Not even middle aged Aunties will vote for your old politician.
Shall see that when results are out. I'll have the last laugh then..
Well, dictator will win.
People show fake support for SL & they want SJ to play next w/c because he is weak. That is the advantage they are looking.
I am a true SL supporter, I will support any Sl player to play well whether sinhalese/ tamil/ muslim.
lol ! You come up with nice emotional reasons.. Its like we are all here not sincere supporting SL is it ?
Wear the hat in right way.
He will probably win,but it is a very wrong decision, I was against him campaigning also but at least that has happened in many countries where prominent sports personalities back politicians, but did LeBron James and Tiger Woods join the Democratic party after Obama won?? Also him saying that he has taken this decision just because he wants to serve the people is not an excuse, Who says that you need to join politics to serve people, Mahela and sangakkara do a lot of social work through their foundations,Sanath could have done the same as he has enough money to do so.And him telling that he wants to "Balance sports and politics" is simply a joke.Sri Lanka will be the first country where a Member Of Parliament pads up for his country,the international cricket community will laugh at us.Also what kind of pressure will be on the selection committee when they have to decide whether or not to drop an MP?? Its just wrong and unethical,sorry Sanath,we love the S.T jayasuriya who played for SL but im not sure we love or respect S.T Jayasuriya M.P of the Matara District, Sorry old chap
If you are referring to my example of sportsmen endorsing a presidential candidate, you can throw that example out of the window for this.
As you say, endorsing a candidate and becoming a politician are two very different things.

Silk Tree
Albizia julibrissin Durazz.
Pea family (Fabaceae)
Origin: Asia
Silk tree, also called silky acacia or mimosa tree, was introduced to the United States in 1745 for use as an ornamental plant.
Distribution and Habitat
Silk tree occurs from California across the southern United States to New York. It grows in disturbed areas such as roadsides, forest edges and various open habitats. It is a hardy plant that tolerates a variety of soil and moisture conditions, enhanced by the ability of its roots to produce nitrogen.
Ecological Threat
Silk tree grows vigorously and displaces native trees and shrubs, spreading by seed and vegetative means. Once established, silk tree is difficult to remove due to its long-lived seeds and its ability to re-sprout vigorously.
Description and Biology
Prevention and Control
Do not plant silk tree. Trees can be cut at ground level with power or manual saws. Cutting is an initial control measure, best done prior to seed set, and usually requires follow-up cuttings in combination with herbicide treatments due to re-sprouts. Systemic herbicides like glyphosate and triclopyr are effective (see Control Options).
Native Alternatives
Serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea), river birch (Betula nigra), redbud (Cercis canadensis), fringetree (Chionanthus virginicus) and flowering dogwood (Cornus florida).

Marlin 50
I found an old Marlin Firearms model 50 .22 in my late Grandfathers garage. As this is the first rifle I've had, I not sure about something. It has no sights in place except for the pip on the barrel. Numrich sold me the semi-buckhorn w/ elevator that should be mounted. No instructions, of course. Anyway, my question is... which way does the elevator go in. Tried it both ways and it doesn't seem to be very secure. Any help would be appreciated. Nearest gunsmith is about 120 miles.
First off, welcome to the forum. When you have an oppurtunity, stop by the "Introductions" section.
Normally, the "elevator" will be set that as the "elevator" is moved towards the muzzle, the sight will raise. Numrich may have a schematic. Check out their website.
Agree. Dovetail of the rear sight to the front, sight notch to the rear, insert elevator so that shoving forward raises the sight notch. Numrich has SOMEWHAT of a schematic- not much.
If loose, and by that I mean won't stay in place, a little blue loctite will work wonders.
I actually prefer the Numrich - Marlin 25MN target rear sight, although not cannon, it has a setscrew that holds it in place, and you adjust via other screws when needed.

Burt's Bees - Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream
I never use a cuticle cream and wanted to try one, so of course I went on MA and read a bunch of great reviews.
The next time I went to Wal-Mart I picked this up, along with a nail buffer and omg I'm in love.
This product is more a waxy rather than a creme, but you won't be disappointed.
On the way home from the store I used this product and it absorbed quickly and didn't feel greasy at all.
Oh the scent it not like strong lemon cleaner lol, its really sweet and pretty like a lemon dessert.
I've only had this product for one week and it does make buffing my nails last even longer, I use it several times through out the day and can't tell if it's helping strengthen my nails yet.
I recommend you to try this product, is really inexpensive so even if you don't like it your not out anything <3

I will wait and watch the backyard interviews online. Why would Adam vote for Porsche that I don't understand at all???
I'm glad Rachel won she deserved it, and when she got to three, she started to shake as she knew she had Jordan's vote.
Nice surprise from Shelley to do the right thing at the end.
I want to know too.. I havent seen all of the interviews yet... Did anyone figure out yet why Adam voted Porsche.. He had practically but not quite promised Rachel his vote at first then the last 2 days in there he seemed to get mad at Rachel for something and told Porsche he was definately giving her his vote and since he was the swing vote she would win and should make sure to thank him in all her interviews....
I just cant figure out what happened unless he was just mad because she made a F2 deal with Porsche.. And to him because they had a F3 with Jordan he is mad because she was going to choose Porsche over him.... But him and Rachel didn't have a deal without Jordan and he was trying to also make a F2 with Porsche so how could he hold that against Rachel.. Anyone figure it out yet...
I would love for one of the Porshe supporters to please explain to me how they can consider Porche to not be one of the mean girls. Porche put Metamucil into the the BB Slop. She stole belongings of others in the house. She sat up in the HoH room and badmouthed and bullied Rachel at every turn. Please tell me how her non-verbal cruelty is any less offensive than Rachel's verbal cruelty.

Does anyone know if the tape of the BY interviews on SuperPass is up anywhere to watch today?

Unequal distribution of sons and daughters in Amazon parrots
In many bird species, the proportion of sons and daughters (offspring sex ratio) can strongly deviate from the expected 50:50. This phenomenon has been observed in domestic species, e.g. chicken, quail, and pigeons, but also in wild species, such as gulls or parrots. Evolutionary theory predicts, that under certain circumstances mothers will gain an advantage by producing a biased offspring sex ratio, for example, when the chances to reproduce differs between the sexes. Still, the underlying mechanisms leading to a biased offspring sex ratio are largely unknown. Research suggests, that the body condition and the hormonal status of the breeding female is of high relevance.

Temporary Ownership of Real Property
The Texas Parks & Recreation Foundation is authorized to act as a holding agent for real
property that will eventually become public parks and open space. .Often, a land owner desires
to divest of land in an expedient manner for tax purposes or other personal reasons. The
Foundation can take possession of the property and hold it in trust until such time as a local
government is ready to accept and dedicate the land for park or preservation purposes.
The arrangement gives the property owner the benefit of immediate tax benefits, while protecting
the potential of the land for future public purposes. It also allows the future government owner
time to arrange financial resources and to gain needed public process approvals to prepare for
the private to public transfer.
State regulations do not allow the use of government-owned park property as an in-kind match
for park development grants. By holding title to property during the grant review process, the
Foundation makes it possible for the recipient city to utilize the value of the property and
maintain its eligibility for grant assistance.
The Foundation charges $300 per year, per land parcel during the trust holding period to cover
administrative expenses, and requires reimbursement for the direct costs of property transfer,
insurance, maintenance, and bookkeeping.

MUNICH (Jun. 4)
The Munich Municipal Council today recommended that schoolchildren of this city be made to visit the site of the Dachau concentration camp and the burial sites of vicims of Nazism in the area before they are graduated from school.
The Federation of Jewish Communities in Bavaria today protested against the acquittal by a Nuremberg denazification court of Benno Martin, Gestape general and former chief of police of Nuremberg under the Nazi regime. The Nazi leader was originally sentenced to three years at hard labor and confiscation of half of his proporty. However, he was now acquitted because internment camps are being dissolved in Germany.
The Ministry of Interior of Hesse, in the United States zone, today reported that the Jewish cemetery in Loehnberg has been desecrated by unknown vandals. The Ministry ordered an immediate investigation. The synagogue of the city of Essen, in the British zone, was desecrated for the second time in two months last night. Both local and British officials are investigating the incident.

In addition, pursuant to 21 CFR 600.80(c)(2)(Periodic Adverse Experience Reports), the Agency is requiring that manufacturers report on a monthly basis any infectious disease transmission associated or possibly associated with any licensed biological product that is not reportable under 21 CFR 600.80 (c)(1)(Fifteen-day Alert Reports). The timing of this monthly periodic reporting requirement was selected, among other reasons, to permit the acquisition of patient information, including clinical evaluation, sufficient to help in the timely assessment of a causal connection between the biological product and possible or documented infectious disease transmission. This new reporting requirement was also based on the observation of inconsistent practices by some manufacturers in submitting reports of possible infectious diseases.
Please note that this monthly reporting requirement applies only to infectious disease transmission. Other periodic reports should continue to be submitted on the quarterly or annual basis that is appropriate to each licensed biological product for all other adverse experiences not reportable under 21 CFR 600.80(c)(1). You should submit these monthly reports to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Division of Epidemiology, HFM-210, 1401 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD, 20852-1448. Please contact the Division of Epidemiology (301-827-3974) if you have any questions about these periodic adverse event reporting requirements.
You must submit adverse experience reports under the adverse experience reporting requirements for licensed biological products (21 CFR 600.80) and you must submit distribution reports under 21 CFR 600.81. You should submit postmarketing adverse experience reports and distribution reports to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, HFM-210, Food and Drug Administration, 1401 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852-1448. Prominently identify all adverse experience reports as described in 21 CFR 600.80.
You must submit reports of biological product deviations under 21 CFR 600.14. You promptly should identify and investigate all manufacturing deviations, including those associated with processing, testing, packing, labeling, storage, holding and distribution.

Please submit all final printed labeling at the time of use and include implementation information on FDA Form 356h and FDA Form 2567 as appropriate. Please provide a PDF-format electronic copy as well as five original paper copies of each label and the circular. For the circular only, please provide a Word-format electronic copy. In addition, you may wish to submit two draft copies of the proposed introductory advertising and promotional labeling with an FDA Form 2253 to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Advertising and Promotional Labeling Branch, HFM-602, 1401 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852-1448. Two copies of final printed advertising and promotional labeling should be submitted at the time of initial dissemination, accompanied by FDA Form 2253.
All promotional claims must be consistent with and not contrary to approved labeling. You should not make a comparative promotional claim or claim of superiority over other products unless you have submitted data to support such claims to us and had them approved.
Sincerely yours,

Hurricanes, Trawlers, Tuesday Night Races
New boats, new storms, last summer races all signal the change of season.
August is winding down and the summer season in New England, where I live, has that old familiar feeling of fall in the air. Dead leaves in the driveway, a sweatshirt for the walk on the beach yesterday morning, and, of course, the boat-owning adventure of tracking the latest hurricanes and tropical depressions hustling up the East Coast of the United States. Last week it was Hurricane Bill that passed by a couple hundred miles offshore. This week, it's been Tropical Storm Danny.
I got some good news about Danny when I logged in this morning. Lying northeast of the Bahamas at about 29 degrees North, Danny ain't quite the man he used to be (last night even); he has lost strength and seems more likely to bring us rain and 30 knots from the east later this weekend than anything approaching storm force. Here's the latest National Hurricane Center "discussion" if you're interested and haven't seen it yet.
That means I can shift gears back into publishing mode this morning. You might have noticed that we've upped our output at Boats.com recently, adding electronics stories from Tony Bessinger to the mix provided by regulars Matt Trulio, Charles Plueddeman, Brett Becker, and Kim Kavin. We're just getting started with our editorial improvement program and would be happy to hear your ideas below in the comments section. If you're a Facebook afficionado, we've set up a poll about one future idea on our "fan" page and you can make comments there, as well.
Kim's newest story describes Selene Ocean Trawlers' plans for three new models. As I put on my sweatshirt again today, the idea of cruising on a trawler is sounding very practical, and I'm reminded of our Hampton 680 staff cruise in early August in Seattle. I snapped the picture above of what I'm pretty sure is a Selene 59, a great-looking model that came out in 2006. Later on, we passed a whole marina full of Selenes on Lake Union where Selene Seattle is located, right down the street from our home offices for Boats.com and YachtWorld.com.
My office, in Middletown, Rhode Island, is close by dozens of marine businesses, as well, in Newport, Portsmouth, and Bristol, and we all share Narragansett Bay, where I had a couple of beautiful end-of-August sails this week on our 30-foot Shields.
On Tuesday night, our race series with the Jamestown Yacht Club wrapped up on a very warm night with 5 to 10 knots of wind. We raced in the non-spinnaker class, with a core crew of my daughter, Sophie, and my friend, Bruce, and over the course of the season, we have rotated in mothers, sisters, and lots of friends. When I was traveling for a couple of weeks, my friend, Ted, took the helm and won both races, so our season's score turned out very well. We also won the "Crew Race," in which everyone in the crew steers a leg of the course; Bruce, Sophie, and our Dutch sailing friend Rozemarijn did a fantastic job, but I forgot to fax in the report on time explaining which jobs each of us did on each leg so we were disqualified. Fortunately, our memory of event is what counts.
The same goes for Wednesday nights, although on this race night my co-skipper, Reed, and regular crew of Pete, Ted, Rachel, and Matt, take our performance much more seriously. That's because there are often 30-plus other identical 30-footers (all members of Shields Class Fleet 9) on the starting line with us. We count ourselves as doing well if we finish in the top 10 any night, and really well if we're in the top 5. That series doesn't end until late September, but we finished fourth this week and were doubly rewarded with the sunset in this photo.

Barbara "BB" Crawford of Harker Heights knows from personal experience the negative effects of anxiety, stress and overwhelming emotions. Now, she dedicates her time to help others overcome stressful situations.
Crawford gave tips on winning the battle with anxiety in the workplace at a recent noontime workshop hosted by the Harker Heights Chamber of Commerce. "Most of us needlessly carry emotional garbage with us to work that even follows us home after the workday is finished," she said.
About 70 percent of people are not involved in their jobs, which means they have mediocre productivity, general frustration over co-workers and other unlikable behaviors and feelings, Crawford said.
"What I mean is that we become prisoners to distractions created both from inside (and from) people and circumstances that surround us."
Crawford is known worldwide for her "Emotional Self Sufficiency" training seminars and workshops, which focus on reducing anxiety and training people of all ages to manage their emotions.
"Get in touch with yourself at the deepest level to find out if you're tight and confined inside your body," Crawford said. "Or does it feel that you are engulfed in a bubble and there is no way you can climb out nor can you avoid it by moving around its outer limits?"
Manny Tamarez, financial adviser at Fort Hood First Command, attended the workshop and said it was very powerful to be at peace through the exercises.
"I believe there was an energy in the room that was felt by everyone," he said. "There is value in the work Barbara does and a definite need for it."
For more information about Crawford's workshops, call (949) 933-0915.

After the concept albums Epica and Black Halo, Kamelot releases a stand-alone album with only stand-alone songs. The result is, as Kamelot has been for the later years, simply breath-taking.
All of the songs of the album are VERY unique, and anyone can tell that they've really tried hard to make them sound unique, now that each song tells a different story. So this album does not have the sound of Epica or Black Halo, but that is not a bad thing. Even though the songs are very unique, there are some elements that feel like they're "covered" from albums like Karma or Fourth Legacy. I do not know if this is on purpose, but it's really nice for those of us who've listened to those albums and liked them.
I personally think that this is a better album than Black Halo, at least so far, but not really as good as Epica. I like the darker touch that this album has. I thought that a lot of what was Kamelot would be lost with this darkness, but I've been proven wrong.
Khan's singing is just improving more and more, really hard to imagine that he could improve after Black Halo... The guitars are very solid, really good solos. They've added more keyboards to the songs, which is pretty clear why since they've recruited the awesome keyboardist Oliver Palotai.
There are only two things that I think are not perfect with this album:
1. Some of the songs feel somewhat short
2. I'm missing an acoustic ballad, that we know Kamelot are really good at doing.
Overall, this album is about as amazing as Epica and Black Halo. It hasn't got the exact same sound, but variation is only good (it still sounds very much like Kamelot)! It may sound a bit weird at first sometimes, but after listening through the songs a few times I've come to understand that they are just as amazing as can be expected from Kamelot.

I wrote about TMax 400 and Rodinal specifically, not TMax in general, I obtained _excellent_ results with TMax 100 and Rodinal. I only developed one TMax400 roll with Rodinal and I found a difference regarding the grain between 100 and 400 both developed with Rodinal, the 400 was more grainy, it was perceptible for the sky specially, this more grainy feature did not appear for the TMax 400 using developers like the Tetenal Ultrafin Plus; anyway I think you could be right about to manipulate the TMax 400 by exposure and developer (Rodinal for this case), it happened that I developed the second TMax 400 roll with the Tetenal and liked the results very much, I forgot to insist with Rodinal for this 400 T film, I kept it for the TMax100. >There > were a couple of interesting threads on this over on APUG by D.F. > Cardwell, that I've posted here before but are worth repeating: > > http://www.apug.org/forums/forum37/71428-todays-film-better.html > > http://www.apug.org/forums/forum216/69617-shaping-tone-curve-rodinal-negative.html Thanks for the links, I had read those interesting threads some time ago, I'll read them again. > Re scanning on the Epson flatbeds: I scan all of my negatives > directly on the glass of an Epson 4990.

As I wrote, I did not find a practical difference scanning with the frame or on the glass directly for most situations;I prefer to use the 120 scanner film holder because I can quickly scan the film even if it is still curled, I cut the developed film each two frames and then the film holder holds them up, down and along each side, flatness could be not perfect but it is very good and DOF also works for this case as you wrote. The standard Epson 4490 120 film holder puts the film at 0.5mm from the glass, the focus distance for film according the specs for this and others Epson scanners designed lasts years. > I am curious to hear more about your experience in scanning > underexposed film directly on the glass. My experience is that it > is a nightmare, because of the Newton rings caused by the bare > substrate on the glass (a problem I rarely encounter with a lot > of developed emulsion in a well-exposed negative). How do > you avoid this problem with underexposed negatives on the glass? I agree with you in general, Newton rings are a real problem for these underexposed film situations, sometimes you get two or three of them, sometimes you get one and sometimes you get nothing. Dust on the neg surface could cause a Newton ring, I clean the surface carefuly, it helps to avoid Newton rings, I had two situations where a Newton ring disappeared after to clean the neg for the second scanning (I also use worn-out and clean cotton gloves to handle the negs). If the Newton rings insist to appear, I change the neg position in the scanning area trying different scannings, I have luck in general. BTW, I rarely have a severely underexposed neg I would like to scan, but it could happen for some reason. I have a neg taken in a bar with available light that I could only scan on the glass directly to obtain an usable result, it got a Newton ring but it was soft and appeared in a no significant image corner, I cut the image there directly; the scanning with the film holder produced a white result or a too poor image.

Technical Article => Business => Microsoft
Why doesn't Microsoft involve in the patent war with Apple?
After Apple and Samsung patent war ends, Samsung immediately announced that they would continue to appeal. People are now guessing that the next target of Apple is Motorola and Google, while the situation getting worse, we could not help to ask why there is no emergence of Microsoft?
At first glance, the answer seems to be very simple, both Microsoft Window 8 and Window Phone products do not have much intersection with Apple's products. But there is an unknown reason, there is a patent cross-license agreement signed between Apple and Microsoft.
Boris Teksler, who is in charge of Apple's patent licensing and marketing strategies, revealed to the outside world that Apple and Microsoft signed a long-term patent cross-license agreement. The signing of the agreement means that Apple and Microsoft can use each other's all patents, including design patents. What we are curious about is that the existence of the agreement does not result in the situation where both companies' products are identical to each other. This is because Microsoft and Apple must keep in touch with each other about the products they will produce,, avoid the "crash". We can clearly see this in the upcoming Surface body.
Apple and Samsung is also going to sign a similar agreement, but this agreement will not include product design and user interface. It's interesting that the products are different between two sides who signed the agreement, whie the products are similar between two sides who didn't sign the agreement. This result seems to be unexpected, but reasonable. Set aside the legal factor aside, part of humanity is indeed worthy of everyone to think.
Although Microsoft's exploration has not achieved satisfactory results, we believe it is the road that gets spacious. As third party developers, we are happy to see that different manufacturers keep mutual cooperation but with unique characteristics, this is what a healthy market should be.

Harvested a bunch of tomatoes yesterday. I've lost count of how many Black Pearl Hybrid Cherry Tomatoes we've harvested, but its a lot. Unfortunately a lot of them fell off the bushes last weekend while we were gone, but as you can see, we're still doing all right.
No thanks to this guy. I caught him gorging on a tomato. He was so big, he was shearing off the side of the tomato, down to the seeds!
Yes, he's been eating well. I put him in a nice place for a bird to snack on.... although knowing my luck it crawled back into the garden.

Resolution: Not A Problem

There's no filtering of the wrapper function name passed to the solr search service
If the name of the wrapper function passed to the solr query service is the following string -
solr passes the string back as-is which results in an XSS attack in browsers like IE-7 which perform mime-sniffing. In any case, the callback function in a jsonp response should always be sanitized - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2777021/do-i-need-to-sanitize-the-callback-parameter-from-a-jsonp-call

Just an agreement that this should be resolved and SOLR should be sanitize the json.wrf callback. We are facing an issue where this vulnerability was pulled up in a security scan and we will need to implement external sanitization through a proxy in order to resolve it. This is really something that should be happening internally.
I tried to reproduce this on Solr 3.4 and html characters were automatically escaped in my case.
Does it mean that this vulnerability is present only in 3.5 version?
My boss asked me about cross-site vulnerabilities in Solr today. I remembered reading something about some vulnerabilities, so I went looking and found this.
This issue is particularly old and the code in 5.x is likely very different. Is this still a problem?
It most likely isn't. I'm not in a position to verify this. Can someone
from SOLR close this ?
After some digging, I realised that this was referring to the 3.x admin UI, which has long since been replaced. Closing this ticket.
I'm not sure that this is only related to the admin UI.
My security scanning tool is detecting a vulnerability related to embedding a script tag in the json.wrf, callback, group, facet or _ parameters in Solr API requests.

Calavo Growers, Inc. (Nasdaq-GS: CVGW), a global avocado-industry leader and an expanding provider of value-added fresh foods, today reported that fiscal 2012 third quarter net income rose 109 percent from the corresponding period last year. The company indicated operating results were paced by sharply higher year-over-year fresh avocado volume, strong gross margins in the Calavo Foods business segment and solid incremental contribution from its Renaissance Food Group, LLC (RFG) business segment. Prior-year quarterly figures include just two months of operating results for RFG, as compared to the most-recent period, which has a full three months of activity. RFG's results are included as a separate business segment distinct from the company's Calavo Foods legacy business segment. For the three months ended July 31, 2012, net income more than doubled to $5.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, from $2.7 million, equal to $0.18 per diluted share, in the corresponding quarter last year. Revenues dipped seven percent to $153.2 million from $165.1 million in the fiscal 2011 third quarter, reflecting the decline in fresh avocado prices owing to the significantly larger current-year supply. Third-quarter gross margin rose 44 percent to $16.2 million, equal to 10.6 percent of total revenues, from $11.2 million, or 6.8 percent of total revenues, in the comparable period of fiscal 2011. Operating income in the most recent quarter climbed 88 percent to $8.5 million, which compares with $4.5 million in the year-earlier third period. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the most recent quarter totaled $7.8 million, equal to 5.1 percent of revenues, versus $6.7 million, or 4.1 percent revenues in last year's third period and was comparable to SG&A in fiscal 2012 second quarter. The year-over-year increase in SG&A reflects the addition of RFG, as well as accruals for contingent consideration related to the RFG transaction and an increase in stock-based compensation expense. Contingent consideration accounted for approximately $245,000 of total SG&A expenses in the most recent quarter and amounts to about $415,000 for the fiscal year to date. SG&A as a percentage of gross margin fell by more than 1,200 basis points to 47.9 percent in the most recent quarter from 60.0 percent in the fiscal 2011 third period.

Former adoption agency head defends actions
LITTLE ROCK (KATV) - The former co-director of a Little Rock adoption agency continued her testimony Thursday, trying to explain why the program took families' money but never connected them with children.
Donna Gail Hight said she was as much a victim as the families, claiming her ex-husband Ed Webb was the real scammer. She said she was physically and emotionally abused by her ex and didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.
Investigators can't find Webb and think he may have moved overseas.
Adoption Advantage closed in 2009 after dozens of complaints from clients.

How should the Church embrace the Media?
BY Matthew Warner
| Posted 4/15/10 at 7:00 PM
Twenty years ago, Pope John Paul II said this in his World Communication's Day message:
"In the new 'computer culture' the Church can more readily inform the world of her beliefs and explain the reasons for her stance on any given issue or event. She can hear more clearly the voice of public opinion, and enter into a continuous discussion with the world around her, thus involving herself more immediately in the common search for solutions to humanity's many pressing problems." - John Paul II, The Christian Message in a Computer Culture
That was in 1990. Even then Church leadership recognized the importance of being a part of the "computer culture" to more readily explain ourselves, listen to public opinion and enter into dialogue. But given the PR crisis that has ensued as a result of the sex abuse scandal, I'm not sure we've heeded that wisdom as wisely as we should have.
There is no question that the Church, in general, doesn't seem to fully appreciate the power wielded by the modern day communications media. Whether that's because they really don't understand it or because they understand it all too well - I'm not sure. I suspect it's a little bit of both.
On the one hand, the Pope and other leadership know that the number of times lies are repeated or how loudly they are shouted will never make them true. It also has the experiential wisdom that today's headline is (usually) tomorrow's litter. And far too many of us are far too concerned with what "pop culture" collectively thinks right at this pressing moment. We thoughtlessly become slaves to pop paradigms which, in reality, only have as much power over us as we give them. And we give them too much.
On the other hand, the Church was made to be "in continuous discussion with the world around her." This means that how others perceive us - whether fairly or not - matters. And in a culture that hangs on every media sound bite, if the Church wants to be a part of the discussion, we've gotta play ball. And softball won't cut it.
The world wasn't fair to Jesus and it's not going to be fair to His Church. That just means we have to be bolder and thicker-skinned. We must persevere with that much more determination in our efforts with the media. And instead of making excuses (even if they are fair ones), we must make our case that much more strongly.
And this is not just at an international level, but at a diocesan, parish and personal level, too. We can't become timid. We must be honest, humble and fearless. If the world doesn't understand the Church, maybe it's because we haven't explained ourselves well enough yet.

A 45-year-old Orange County boxing coach was convicted Friday and sentenced to two years in state prison for sexually assaulting two 14-year-old boys that he met at a Santa Ana boxing club, prosecutors said.
Anthony Serrano of Santa Ana pleaded guilty to four felony counts of lewd acts on a child, according to a statement from the Orange County district attorney's office. In addition to his prison sentence, Serrano will have to register as a lifetime sex offender.
Prosecutors said that Serrano sexually assaulted two boys while working as a coach at the Santa Ana Boxing Club.
The first boy, according to prosecutors, was assaulted several times between May and October of 2006 in Serrano's home.
The assault was reported in 2008, but the case was not filed then because of "insufficient corroboration," prosecutors said.
The second victim reported allegations of sexual abuse to Santa Ana police in the summer of 2012. In that case, prosecutors said the boy was assaulted on more than one occasion at Serrano's home between May 2011 and April 2012.
In the sentencing hearing on Friday, the second victim, according to the district attorney's office statement, told the court of the repercussions of the abuse, including needing therapy to overcome the trauma.

I have super oily hair. I recently heard it was bad to wash it everyday, so I bought some dry shampoo its the Treseme freshstart, but when I used it, it didn't really help much. Is there such thing as your hair being too oily to not wash everyday?
Feb 18, 2012
Well, I've heard that the more you wash your hair, the more oil it will produce - so it's preferable to wash it every two days, to keep it from getting too oily =)) But it will take a bit of time for your hair to adjust to being washed every two days, so dry shampoo is an option to keep it from looking all greasy:) xoxo
Feb 18, 2012
Not only does washing every day affect the hair it also affects the scalp as well. It can dry out the scalp since you're constantly removing the oils to keep it balanced. Also you could also investigate shampoos that do not contain sulfates. I wear my hair naturally curly and when I left the sulfate based shampoos alone my scalp and hair actually had a nice balance of natural oil. And are you using a lot of styling products as well? They can contribute to an ily scalp as well.
It isn't good to wash you hair everyday. However giving yourself a 5 minute scalp massage will help regulate your oil glands. This works for oily and dry scalp. As far as a dry shampoo, you might want to try one from a professional hair care line. If you feel you need to wash your hair everyday, buy a mild or gentle sulfate free shampoo.
I recommend only buying professional products because what makes most shampoo's lather is sulfur. Drugstore brands have more sulfate in them which will damage/dry your hair out more than professional products. Also professional products are more concentrated so when you think about price it kind-of evens out.
Feb 18, 2012
Correction, they do not put sulfur in shampoo, they put sulfates in shampoo. Sulfates are SO4 while sulfur is just S. If they put Sulfur in your shampoo your hair would smell like rotten eggs.
Thank you for the correction! Learn something new everyday.
Feb 19, 2012
I was my hair almost every night and sleep with it wet to cure the oil problem!
Feb 19, 2012
You have to train your hair to be washed every other day, etc. I too used to wash my hair every single day.. now I wash it either every other day or every 3 days (depending on what it looks like).
I use the Tresemme fresh start as well but I also really love the Oscar Biandi dry shampoo.
My hair would get very oily as well at first but after a while you literally train your hair and it gets used to it... The hair produces more oil because the detergents are stripping your hair.
Feb 20, 2012
so should i just keep doing it? i want to try to get to only washing it every 2 days, bc of how bad it is to wash it everyday. i honestly can't stand to though haha thanks for all the advice everyone!
Feb 20, 2012
I wash my hair every other day, and I have a REALLY oily scalp and when it feels oily, i just take a bit of baby powder and it does the trick!
Feb 20, 2012
I wash my hair every 2-3 days. If i wash it everyday, my hair looks really dry and dull.
Dawn M is 100% correct-you have to train it. I have very oily hair, but I also color it a dark violet, so to preserve the color I now wash it only 5 days. By day 4, I break out the dry shampoo (Batiste is what I swear by, for the love of god, put down the Tresame. ANYTHING YOU BUY FOR YOUR HAIR FROM A PLACE THAT SELLS FOOD IS NOT GOOD. Now, I know Batiste is sometimes sold in drugstores, but it is literally the only product besides men's pomade for pompadours that I allow my clients to use that isn't a professional salon product.) Start doing every other day. Brush your hair when it's dry with a boar bristle brush to distribute the oil better. After 4-6 weeks, you will see a difference. You have to think of it like breaking a bad habit; it sucks at first, it's kind of gross, but in the end you'll be happier!
Feb 21, 2012
It seems to me like washing the natural oils out of your hair every day can mess with your scalp's natural oil production (how many hairy animals can you think of that shampoo?), but if you're really concerned with damage I would reconsider styling with heat and using harsh dyes. I've seen lots of women who wash every day with perfectly decent hair, and some women who swear that washing too often is bad for you but burn the **** out of their own so badly if looks ready to just fall out. Try out a few things to see what works for you.
Feb 21, 2012
I wash mine every other day...Pantene works :)
Feb 21, 2012
Just be careful when you use dry shampoo to make sure you're using a clarifying shampoo more often, cause dry shampoos are notorious for ridiculous build up :)
http://www.redkensalon.com/differen... Here's why you should buy from salon professionals.
http://www.happynews.com/living/hai... Here's a good article that even says some drugstore products are ok, which I don't even agree with, but she makes valid points about professional products.
I don't understand why people are getting so upset when I say drugstore products are not good for your hair. I'm not making you not buy them, I'm not trying to sell you products I use, I'm not your hairdresser. But I know what I deal with on a daily basis, I see the damage they cause, it's not always evident right away but years of using products that are bad for your hair (& you body in general, if you believe the research about sulfates & such), you could regret it. It's just like smoking or tanning-your skin might not look bad now, but 20 years from now there's just going to be irreversible damage. At least with problems associated with bad products, you can shave your head & start over. Chill.
Here's a good article on bad stuff in different cosmetics products, not just hair care. http://smartgirlconsulting.com/2010...
I'm done with this, I talk to my clients daily about it, I'm tired of doing it in my free time.
Feb 21, 2012
It can be because it removes the natural oil from your hair
Feb 21, 2012
@Erica: That final piece is full of scaremongering. They've bought into the BS that EWG/CFSC peddle... hook, line, and sinker.
http://cosmeticsinfo.org (look up any ingredient, find out what it's used for)
http://www.cosmeticscop.com/cosmeti... (similar to above link, but in a more digestible format)
<<I see the damage they cause,>>
But how do you know it's always the products they use and not the fact that someone fries the crap out of their hair with irons and blow dryers? Or brushes their hair with a hairbrush while it's still wet (which, I believe, can also damage your hair)? Also, I've seen various salon brands sold at drugstores/Walmart/Target, which (for me) means your suggestion ("don't buy hair care where you would buy food" (paraphrased)) doesn't wash. The other thing is that, as a hair stylist, generally speaking, part of your job *is* to sell product (isn't a good chunk of a salon's revenue derived from retail sales?). So forgive me for being a skeptic, asking questions, trying to be an informed consumer, wanting to avoid fearmongering and junk science to get to the truth.
If you checked out the first link I posted, about Diversion, you'll answer your questions about salon brands being sold at drugstores/grocery stores. Salon brands say on the bottles "Not guaranteed unless bought in a salon" or something to that extent, the stuff sold at other places is usually counterfeit, adulterated, or black market. It's frustrating when someone feels the need to contradict everything I say, refuses to believe any of it, & doesn't pay real attention to any evidence I am trying to provide to support my education & profession except to call it fear mongering. I know my stuff, I worked as a chemist for years before becoming a hairdresser; I ASK QUESTIONS of my clients about not only the products they use but what they do to their hair on a daily basis, such as blow drying, flat ironing, etc. I doubt all my clients that use drugstore products are lying about what else they do to their hair, maybe every single one of them that uses Pantene also flat irons their hair 16 times a day even though they tell me they don't. Yes, part of my job is selling product, but LIKE I ALREADY SAID, I'm certainly not trying to sell anything on here, nor do I benefit from any of this, since I'm pretty sure no one on here in my client or even shops where I work. Use what you want, I don't care. But I can see some issues with your hair from your profile picture on here, so you might want to rethink your routine. I obviously won't try to help you since you don't believe any of it, & that's fine. My clients that follow my advice all have amazing hair, the fact that I'm booked solid for weeks in advance speaks for itself.
OMG!!! The anger/tension is thick in this thread....its insane and totally unwarranted. Let's all keep it classy. We're all allowed to have an opinion but lets practice restraint and not bash eachother.
My apologies. I get defensive when I'm being attacked about my profession. I get sick of hearing negative people, & since I'm new here, I'm shocked at how unwelcoming & rude people can be.
Feb 22, 2012
Ladies, I am all for giving the right information, but please keep from using profanity and keep to the subject at hand. This is a welcoming environment here and we should be helping each other not attacking or assuming. xoxo
Erica B. It's all good girl. Life is too short to allow another's opinion to get your blood pressure up. You're passionate about your craft and I totally get that. Shelly T. is passionate as well in regards to her beliefs. Us women need to stick together. This is my little piece of heaven in a hectic world and I love hanging out here. :)
