Description The present invention relates to distributing apparatus and particularly to an apparatus which is designed to divide a single, two-phase, vapor-liquid stream into a plurality of individual streams in which each of the individual streams has substantially an equal ratio of vapor to liquid. In many processes a main two-phase, vapor-liquid flow must be divided into several individual streams while maintaining an equal liquid-vapor ratio in the individual streams. For example, a central facility may be used to supply process heat in the form of high-quality, two-phase steam to several individual processes or locations. It is necessary that the main stream flow be divided into several individual flows to supply the individual location. It is obvious that one must maintain an equal vapor-liquid ratio in each of the individual branch flows or the individual flows may consist primarily of water and very little steam or vice versa. In thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects steam is injected into hydrocarbon bearing formations to increase production. In these systems it is very common to use high-quality, two-phase steam, for example, 80% quality steam. The practice of generating two-phase steam is necessitated by the use of low quality or brackish (produced) waters with moderate dissolved solids contents in the process. To prevent deposition of salts on the surfaces of the steam generator tubes, it is necessary to retain part of the flow in a liquid state in order to maintain the solids and other impurities in solution. If it is necessary to distribute this steam to individual injection wells, the problem arises of dividing the main flow into the individual flows while maintaining the ratio between vapor and water in the individual flows. The above problem of thermal EOR projects will increase when large cogeneration plants are installed. The cogeneration plants will produce both electricity and the steam required for the thermal EOR projects. These plants will be centralized and the initial steam flow will be large and must be divided into the individual flows for various injection wells. These centralized plants will require that the initial distribution of steam be through large diameter main flowlines. In the prior art, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,899,000 suggests that a two-phase vapor-liquid mixture could be separated into two or more individual flows by use of a closed vessel. The vessel is mounted vertically and provided with a top inlet and two or more bottom outlets. A flat horizontal baffle is used to divert the inlet flow from the open ends of the outlets. The axis of the inlet and the axis of the outlets are substantially parallel so the flow of the fluid is axially through an elongated vessel. The vapor-liquid ratio is maintained by using the outlets as standpipes and the vessel as a reservoir. Once sufficient liquid collects in the bottom of the vessel it can overflow side outlets in the standpipes and liquid will be added to the vapor flowing out of the outlets. While this system may be satisfactory it does rely upon the condensed liquid partially separating from the vapor with subsequent recombination with the vapor. This will be ineffective if the vessel is not vertical and unequal distribution of liquid and vapor can result. Also, the use of baffles to change the flow direction can cause excessive pressure losses. The present invention provides an apparatus for separating or splitting a vapor-liquid stream into multiple individual streams which have substantially the same vapor-liquid ratio. The stream may be a two-phase, vapor-liquid or may be a multiphase vapor-liquid stream. The apparatus uses an inlet static mixer to thoroughly mix liquid and distribute it throughout the vapor. The thoroughly mixed vapor-liquid is introduced into the top of a closed vertical vessel, preferably a cylindrical vessel. The mixture flows into the vessel striking a flat sided frustum shaped member that is mounted in the bottom of the vessel with its apex extending upwardly toward the inlet. The frustum shaped member diverts the vapor-liquid mixture radially into the outlets that are equally spaced around the side wall of the vessel. The use of the diverter element ensures that the flow entering the top of the vessel will be proportionally distributed to the individual radial outlets while reducing the residence time. Normally, the flow to individual wells will be unequal, with each flow containing a proportionate share of the liquid. Drain or weep holes are provided along the bottom edge of the diverter element so that any liquid that is separated from the vapor-liquid mixture can flow into the bottom of the vessel where it can be drained through a suitable outlet. The use of a drain ensures that the flow through the individual outlets will be of substantially as high quality as the entering vapor-liquid mixture and in some instances of higher quality. The drain also provides blowdown for the branch line from the main line to the vessel. Condensate can then be disposed of or reclaimed. The invention will be more easily understood from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the attached drawings in which: FIG. 1 is an elevation view of the apparatus shown partially in section. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the apparatus also shown partially in section. Referring to the drawing, there is shown a cylindrical pressure vessel 10 having dome or elliptical shaped ends or heads 16 and 17. The vessel is mounted vertically and provided with a central inlet 11 in the top 16 for the vapor-liquid mixture that is to be divided into individual streams. The vessel is also provided with a plurality of outlets 12 which extend radially out from the sidewall of the vessel. In addition, the outlets are equally spaced around the circumference of the vessel as shown in FIG. 2. The outlets preferably have the same diameter with the flow in each outlet being controlled by metering valves for the individual wells. A drain outlet 13 is connected to the bottom end 17 of the vessel and is used to drain any liquid that separates from the fluid in the vessel. The apparatus uses a static mixture 14 which is positioned immediately above the inlet 11. The static mixer is designed to thoroughly distribute the liquid throughout the vapor in the fluid before it enters the vessel 10. Suitable static mixers can be the mixer marketed by Komax Systems, Inc. of Long Beach, Calf., as their Komax Mixer. Also, the mixer shown in copending application Ser. No. 06/476,742 filed Mar. 18, 1983, entitled "MIXING APPARATUS" and assigned to the same assignee as the present invention could be used. After flowing into the vessel the fluid strikes the diverter element 15 which has a generally frustum shape. The diverter element 15 is mounted in the vessel so that its lower edge substantially fills or blocks the bottom of the vessel while its upper end, or apex, extends above the level of the individual outlets 12 and is approximately at the same level as the seam between the top head and the sidewall of the vessel. The diverter element 15 is formed from a plurality of flat plate members 20 whose edges are joined together to form the conical diverter element. As shown in FIG. 2, eight elements are used to form the conical diverter element when eight individual outlet streams are utilized. The exact number of faces of the conical element are a matter of design choice although it is preferable to have one face per outlet. Also, if desirable, the diverter element could be formed as a true conical element with a coninuous or rounded outer surface although this would be more difficult to fabricate. The lower edge 21 of the diverter element is attached to the inner wall of the vessel 10 by welding or the like. As shown, a portion of the lower edge of each of the flat plates 20 is relieved at 22 so that the adjacent plates when joined together and to the sidewall of the vessel will provided a drain opening 23 through which the liquid separated from the fluid can drain. This ensures that any liquid that separates from the fluid will drain downwardly and exit through the spaces 23 and collect in the bottom section 24 of the vessel. From this position it can be drained through the line 13 which may have a valve 26 disposed therein to control the flow. In addition, the valve 26 could be responsive to the liquid level in the vessel 10 to drain the vessel when the level rises to a certain position. A conventional steam trap may be used for draining the vessel in place of the float controlled valve 26. The system is operated by flowing the vapor-liquid mixture through the static mixer 14 into the vessel 10. The fluid passes through the static mixing device 14 to evenly distribute the liquid throughout the vapor phase of the fluid. As the mixture passes into the vessel 10, it strikes the diverter element 15 which forces the mixture outwardly through the individual outlets 12. As shown, the inlet 11 is coaxial with the axis of the diverter element 15 so that the mixture will be evenly distributed to all of the outlets 12. The equal distribution is assisted by spacing the outlets equally around the circumference of the vessel 10 to equalize the flow paths. The flow rate through each of the individual outlets will be substantially the same and the vapor-liquid ratio will be the same. Also, since the mixture is thoroughly mixed before it is introduced into the vessel 10, substantially all of the liquid will flow out the individual inlets 12 and only a small portion will be collected in the bottom 24 of the vessel. The liquid collected in the vessel can be periodically drained through the drain line 13. The combination of the diverter 15 and the equal circumferential spacing of the outlets provides substantially uniform quality. This is important in thermal enhanced oil recovery processes using wet steam where it is essential that each well receive substantially the same quality of steam. It is also desirable to split the main steam flow into the individual flows with least loss of pressure. It is possible to modify the apparatus of the present invention by eliminating the drain holes 23 and drain line 13. When the drain holes are eliminated the outlets 12 should be moved nearer to the bottom edge of the diverter 20 to assist in proportionally distributing any liquid between the outlets. Of course, any liquid that collects in the bottom of the vessel 10 will flow out the outlets 12. A small vent opening should be formed in the top of the diverter 15 to equalize the pressure between the top and bottom of the vessel 10. To ensure proportional distribution of the liquid to the outlets 12, the vessel 10 must be mounted vertically with all of the outlets in the same horizontal plane. Of course, with equal flows in all outlets the liquid will be equally distributed between all outlets. Patent Citations

A French court just put the kibosh on publication of the Kate Middleton topless pics, but the victory is kinda like plugging a dike which keeps springing leaks.
The court called the invasion of Kate and Prince William's privacy a "brutal display" and ordered Closer Magazine to immediately turn over all digital copies of the pics ... or else. The "or else" is a $13,100 daily fine.
Here's the problemo. The pics have also been published in Italy and Ireland and the ruling doesn't cover those magazines.
The palace also plans to file a criminal complaint. It appears the photog got the shots courtesy of a telephoto lens as they sunbathed on the balcony of a remote French chateau.
This shows you how dumb the royals are. Yo, William this thing, yo, it's called the internet, yo! Copies of the pictures are all over the internet, yo, and they will stay there forever and ever until the end of time, yo!
Whatever the court felt, it had no choice but this ruling. If it had ruled that the magazine/paparazzi was okay doing this, then the paps would have taken it as free reign to photograph through windows etc.
It seems if Kate didn't want to be photographed topless, she should have kept her top on. She is very famous and whether it is invasion of privacy or not, both amateur and professional photogs will snap photos at an unsavory moment to make a quick buck. She should have more street smarts and her husband should have warned her. They are both at fault for not having insight, but then again none of the royal family members come across as being super intelligent.
How many times do the royal family's children have to learn this lesson? If you are in the public eye 24/7 like they are, you don't romp about with your boobs out You don't whip out your johnson in front of cameras. Its unfortunate, but the press and the public salivate at the idea of any public figure caught with their tighty whities around their ankles.
They are a beautiful hip, modern couple. I doubt they are as naive as some people are trying to make us believe. This is not a matter of nudity or Kate's boobs. She was a model for some time for crying out loud. The matter here is the blatant breach of their privacy and the breaking of France's very strict privacy laws. They were in A PRIVATE HOUSE, not on a public beach. Big diff there. It doesn't matter whether the pics have already been seen by the whole world and Mars. The fact is, this inquiry will make stupid papz think twice before doing another ****ty stunt like this one.
..First of all they were on a PRIVATE balcony.
..second this is the royal family there should be some boundaries.
..and finally haven't the press learned anything from Princess Diana's death.
BOTTOM LINE.. it should be a crime to take these pictures and a crime to publish them, and why are TMZ still re-publishing them every time they write about it, It's no different to a porn mag.
Don't care about William and Kate in the least but the real problem is they go after the tabloids for printing the pictures instead of trying to fix the real problem, the stalker paparazzi that get away with anything they want. Make an example of those guys, taking pics of celebs in public places or events is ok, taking pics of them in private residences and such is not ok, if a celeb goes to a beach or something and gets naked and pics get taken, well that's the celebs fault and the pics get published.
Oh my god, what melodrama over topless pics. Woman has boobs! News at 11:00! Also just in: water is wet.
Any other celeb and all of you would be talking **** but because it is Kate Middleton it is an invasion of privacy..I have seen the place this was taken from. If you can see the road then it is not private. KEEP YOUR TOP ON WHORE!

'Every body on your marks, get set, go!' Darting out on the tracks are the great sprinters you can ever ask for. They are stout, full of vinegar and of course super speed. The only thing, if there is any, about these top seeds is that somehow they all, oops, wear pretty much the same 'horse face'! Well, you think totally got me there, smarty pants? It's however only getting close when you have Melbourne Cup or Kentucky Derby in mind, but Gee, what I am talking about here is something way more AWESOME for both the jockeys and punters. And you know what buddy? When I am done here unveiling the event, you will be all dashing forward for sign-up even faster than you thoroughbred!
Facebook game Hooves of Fire, isn't that name alone exciting enough to give both you and your stud a shot in arm for the coming racing show? Just think about it when your well-trained courser flings itself out of the gate, gallops down the racetrack, leaves all other swift steeds eating dust, and finally gets crowned with the Triple Tiara. As a breeder, trainer, and punter at the same time, is there anything more of a hearty delight to see your 'old chaw' neighing in all pride and honor over peers while saddling tons of rewards back for you?
Though here at Hooves on Fire, you got pretty much everything needed to make your steed a thunder-stealer at the biggest-ever online 'tracking championship', including professional care-giving, tough training mechanics, strict mating procedures and, you bet, fair sporting system, it however doesn't guarantee that all colts around the stable could as well have their day. You are gonna have to scout around for the future star worth the salt through daily breeding, grooming, and more importantly, the training sessions. Think it way too easy a thing to take seriously? Then don't cry over the split milk when, due to duty negligence, your 'cash horse' die a pitiful death at its prime years even before being able to show stuff off before the racing crowds.
A lot of studs end up being life-time friends with the jockeys. Well, those foals here at Hooves on Fire could be much mushier than that. They play cute quite often, and would ask for your fondling on or off training. Dye their furs with a different shining color, make them a pair of cool horseshoes, or even as simply as give them a pat at back would totally make the Hooves 'on Fire' again!
Hooves of Fire, Rubber Duck's new set of horsing racing fun on Facebook, nails all nitty-gritty of the whole racing thing in an interesting and engaging way.
The betting stuff gives the gaming experience a special tinge of unpredictability and risk-taking for all the virtual punters.

I attended a double bill of Eric Rohmer's The Green Ray and Francois Truffaut's The Soft Skin at the Pacific Cinematheque and was interested not just with what the films revealed of themselves but of each other and of other films in general. Both films, at their core, are about loneliness. Rohmer's is about a woman so depressed so as to be unable to connect with the people around her and Truffaut's is about a man betrayed by his loneliness, which manifests as longing for a woman who will become his mistress. The cinema and loneliness are existentially bound; both films and those who watch them are inherently lonely. No matter how close or endeared a character becomes to a viewer, they can only passively interact with them and the film, which itself is brought into existence by its' creator in order to reach the viewer, can never know of its' success or failure. And, of course, all movies are filmed in a confrontation of environment, people and the cold mechanized stare of the camera lens. Whether one would like to admit it or not, sitting in a cinema, either alone or with friends made strangers by the dark, the cinema is lonely. However, this makes cinema particularly adept at dealing with loneliness and as such, just as adept at quelling it. In a two-negatives-make-a-positive sort of way, the loneliness of viewer and of cinema console each other, the very origin of catharsis.
The neglect of Truffaut's relatively unsung film surprises me. The Soft Skin is his closest work to pure cinema, and although I'm far from seeing all of his work, I consider it among his three best films (The 400 Blows and Small Change being the other two), and the most successful in his attempts to formally emulate Hitchcock, mostly because he does so without surrendering to the joy of simply copying a master and re-appropriates the style for his autonomous aims, which is not to say that the themes don't overlap with those of Hitchcock, but that they are expressed intimately and personally. Like in Vertigo, the protagonist of the film desires an image of a woman rather than the real woman, and is doomed from the start to meet a tragic end of sorts (a completely different version than the one suffered by James Stewart). This tragic flaw seems to stem from a dishonesty of self, in the film's most powerful sequence, after spending the evening with the woman he desires, the man walks her back to her hotel room, and gently coerces her to allow him in, she switches the light on, and he switches it off, an elaboration of a previously established formal device; He must hide from himself in the dark. Perhaps the light, much like that of the actual green ray of the sun to which Rohmer's title refers, would carry with it some connotation of connectivity between self, environment and other people that would require him to confront his lies. The protagonist of Rohmer's film is, in a sense, also a victim of her own conduct, but in her case it is her disposition, something she can't necessarily control, that brings on her woes and her depression, which we must endure with her, is something that must simply run its' course.
The Green Ray was conceived, along with Rohmer, by Marie Rivière, who inhabits the film as much as an actor possibly can. This makes her struggle one that is powerful to empathize with, and the intimacy we experience with her character is what makes the film so memorable. However, it isn't any more intimate than Truffaut's melodrama, which is able to match the affect through the formal presence of its' auteur. This insight reveals itself when juxtaposing these films, and observing how their altogether different approaches, referring to Rohmer's disarming form and emphasis on real people in real situations versus Truffaut's high-on-Hollywood artfully composed style (complete with an aching Georges Delerue score), can ultimately achieve the same level of personal filmmaking, which constructs an automatic argument that the only filmmakers who make films impersonally are the bad ones, and that personally made films therefore can exist in any form. The Green Ray and The Soft Skin specifically, made twenty years apart, one in colour, one in black and white, are united through some core components of cinema: lights, lies, and loneliness.

In the summer of 2009, Shirley Billigmeier of Long Lake, Minnesota, learned that she had an aggressive type of stage I breast cancer and would need chemotherapy to limit the chance of a recurrence. Billigmeier assumed she'd lose her dark brown hair, so she began shopping for a wig.
While researching her options, she discovered cold cap therapy, a process that has been used to help stop chemo hair loss for more than a decade in Europe, but isn't well known in the United States.
Cold Cap Therapy
Billigmeier contacted Frank Fronda, the scientist who'd invented the caps, and he gave her a list of patients in the United States who'd used the caps. "That was great because we learned from each other what worked," she says. "It was about women helping other women." All of them had managed to keep their hair.Wearing an extremely cold cap slows the rate at which hair cells absorb the chemo drugs, helping to prevent hair loss (though hair may thin).
But because the caps must be changed every thirty minutes during chemo treatments and stored in a freezer around -22° F, cold cap therapy requires either massive quantities of dry ice in coolers, or a biomedical freezer, which can cost several thousand dollars.
Nancy Marshall, a friend of Billigmeier's and a breast cancer survivor herself, sprang into action. "It was a lot of money," she admits, "But I said, 'I don't know anybody that hasn't been touched by cancer, so I bet we could raise the money.'" Marshall emailed several of Billigmeier's friends, who forwarded the fundraising appeal on to their friends, and ended up raising more than $7,000 for the purchase of a biomedical freezer.
Marshall says the oncology nurses were initially skeptical of Billigmeier's cold caps. But "when she walked into her third treatment and still had her hair, they stood in a row and clapped," recalls Marshall. "It was thrilling beyond anything I can describe to you. Her oncologist told her he never for a minute thought the caps would work, but he saw no reason to burst her bubble ahead of time."
The Rapunzel Project
Marshall agrees. "When you're done, you wind up looking like the exact same person," she adds. "It changes the year for you. There are people who never get their hair back [after chemo]. A lot of people get their hair with weird textures. Some people would prefer not to be the subject of people's stares. This gives you the opportunity to control who you share [your cancer diagnosis] with."
After seeing the effectiveness of the cold caps, Marshall and Billigmeier founded The Rapunzel Project, a nonprofit organization committed to spreading the word about cold cap therapy for chemo patients.
"Just knowing you have a choice of that side effect is important," says Billigmeier. "They've worked on the nausea [brought on by chemo], but there's never been a discussion about losing your hair. When you know you have the choice, it gives you a sense of ownership and strength."
Cold cap therapy is not yet approved by the FDA, but there are a few clinical trials of a Swedish cooling system to prevent chemotherapy hair loss.
"I think when the awareness is out there, [demand for more research] is going to be patient-driven," says Billigmeier. "Our main goal is to tell women that this is a choice."

According to Ayurvedic medicine, a form of alternative medicine that originated in India 5000 years ago, keeping the head cool can prevent hair woes like graying or balding. Ayurveda also suggests specific herbs to promote hair growth and prevent problems.
NaturallyCurly.com talked to Nicole Hinterstocker, an Ayurvedic practitioner and owner of Ajara Ayurvedic Beauty, for tips on creating an Ayurvedic hair regimen.
Five Elements Theory
Ayurveda offers an alternative model of biology where everything is made of five elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth.
"Everything you look at has some component of everything," says Hinterstocker. "Hair would mainly be earth because it's physical, but it's going to have everything in it. Growth of the hair would be fire because anything that is being transformed from one thing to another would be the fire component."
An Ayurvedic hair regimen uses cool, soothing herbs to calm the scalp and promote hair growth. The theory is that if someone is bald, it's because they burned all their hair away, so Ayurvedic tradition encourages keeping the scalp cool.
Bone health is also believed to improve hair health.
"Anything that strengthens the bones will also cause the hair and nails to grow healthier, stronger and longer," adds Hinterstocker. "So looking at bone health will help promote hair health. If you have osteoporosis you might also see porous hair."
Ayurvedic Hair Regimen
Ayurvedic Products
- Styling Product: Qhemet Biologics Amla Nourishing Pomade
- Oil: Ancient Ayurvedic Herbal Hair Therapy Oil System
- Shampoo: AfroVeda Ylang Conditioning Shampoo
- Conditioner: AfroVeda Advanced Therapy Rejuvenating Emu Oil Conditioner
In lieu of traditional shampoo, Ayurveda followers wash their hair with a tea made from a blend of herbs found in powder form. While the tea needs warm water to steep, Hinterstocker cautions that in keeping with Ayurvedic principles, you never want to use hot water on your head.
"Use the lowest temperature that's still comfortable for you," she says.
Next, the Ayurvedic hair regimen involves applying oils to the scalp and lightly through strands of hair. The choice of oil depends on the individual's hair.
"If it's falling out, oftentimes you would apply an oil made of coconut and Brahmi or Gota Kola, which is a little bit more common in the US," says Hinterstocker. "People with curly, unruly, breaking hair would do really well with taking Brahmi."
Another commonly used herb, Bhringaraj, which means "king of the hair" in Sanskrit, is believed to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss. Hinterstocker says she's seen major hair growth while taking Banyan Botanical's healthy hair tablet, which contains a proprietary blend of Bhringaraj, Brahmin and hibiscus, among other ingredients.
The ritual ends by scenting the hair with a cooling incense such as benzoin, which acts as an antibacterial agent, or amber, which promotes cell respiration and regeneration. "When you burn amber, some of the oils will land on the hair and scalp itself, therefore working its way into our systems through our skin," adds Hinterstocker.

Whether you dye your hair a sun-kissed blonde, a sultry chocolate or another fabulous hair color you already know that color-treated hair is expensive to maintain. Fortunately, we've uncovered some expert strategies to make color last longer, saving you time and money. Read on for hair coloring tips from Shan Casey, a DevaCurl educator and owner of Shan Hair in Boston, MA, and Elsa Rhodes, co-owner of Platform Color Style Salon in San Dimas, CA.
- Avoid Over-shampooing Rhodes advises clients to limit hair washing to two or three times a week, tops. The amount of shampoo you use matters, too.
"Most of the time people are still using too much shampoo, because they think they have to put more in to make it foam." says Casey. He suggests halving the amount of shampoo you normally use and pouring it into your fingertips instead of your palm. No need to rinse and repeat. Once should be enough to cleanse your hair without drying it out. - Turn Down the Heat Like over-shampooing, excessive heat styling with a blow-dryer, curling iron, or straightener can cause fading. That's why Rhodes advises applying a hair serum before styling to protect the hair shaft.
"Think of putting a 'shield' over your hair," she says. "This will protect the hair from damage, and also make the color last until your next appointment. And consider getting a professional conditioning once a month to keep hair hydrated." - Choose the Right Products Not all hair products are created equal, so pay attention to the ingredients in your hair color, shampoo, and styling products. One of the hair coloring tips Casey offers to clients with color-treated hair is to steer clear of products containing silicon, parabens, and waxes since they don't allow moisture to penetrate the hair. Rhodes recommends using a shampoo that's specifically formulated for color-treated hair. Also look for non-ammonia hair color.
"Ammonia tends to strip hair and make it more vulnerable to breakage and color-fade." says Rhodes. - Shield Your Hair From the Sun Headed to the beach or a BBQ? Sun exposure can fade color (not to mention burning your scalp), so Casey suggests wearing a hat to protect your hair and scalp. Spraying your hair with a leave-in UV sun protector can help, too, according to Rhodes. You might also consider postponing your salon visit until after you return from the beach to minimize sun exposure on newly treated hair.
- Minimize Chlorine Damage Chlorine is another hazard to hair color, particularly in the summer.
"Leave your regular conditioner in as long as it's silicon free," says Casey, who also recommends using lemonade mix before swimming. "Cut up a lemon and put it in some water with a dollop of conditioner and rinse your hair in that." he says.
"The hair is like a sponge. You should always wet the hair and put conditioner in it to minimize damage." Afterwards, Rhode suggests using a clarifying shampoo and deep conditioner to maintain shine and prevent fading.

You've finally learned to love your curls . . . and now you've noticed those once-lustrous locks are thinning. Oh, the injustice! Don't despair—we've compiled five tips to keep you and your curls looking chic and stylish at any age.
1. Rule out a medical issue
While everyone's hair thins a bit with age and thinning hair can be genetic, it can also be a sign of a medical issue like anemia or thyroid problems. Debra Jaliman, MD, a New York City-based dermatologist, recommends asking an endocrinologist or dermatologist to rule out these issues.
"Most medical doctors are not the ones to rule out medical issues. A dermatologist or endocrinologist would be the best medical experts to go and see," she explains. A poor diet may also contribute. Fortunately, "if you lack iron and start eating red meats then the hair will regrow once your diet is appropriately balanced," says Jaliman.
2. Consider Biotin supplements
According to Jaliman, biotin supplements (also called vitamin H for "Haar and Haut," which mean "hair and skin" in German) can help thicken hair and strengthen nails.
Though biotin occurs naturally in some foods, few food sources are rich in the vitamin, so during the 1940s, Swiss scientists developed a synthetic process to replicate it. Biotin supplements are now available over the counter, and Jaliman says they are extremely effective.
3. Keep it short
A short, multi-layered haircut can help create the illusion of fullness.
"When we are younger, we let our curly hair grow longer, because the 'weight' straightens it a little when we blow-dry it straight," explains Sandy Dumont, a Virginia-based image consultant and founder of The Image Architect. "However, it isn't wise to keep hair at a longer length when it is thinning, because it will look droopy. A 'stacked' haircut gives the appearance of more volume, so that's a great style."
4. Lighten up
The more contrast between hair and skin tone, the easier is it to see the scalp. Dumont has blond curls and says that when light hair thins, the effect is subtle.
"You rarely see the scalp near the front or at the crown, like you do with dark hair," she explains. If you have darker hair, Dumont suggests teasing it slightly at the crown to cover the scalp or going a little lighter to soften the contrast. "Streaks will do; it isn't necessary to lighten the hair all over," she adds.
5. Focus on the temples
Even with lighter hues, thinning hair can show up around the temples, where the hair tends to be more fine to begin with. "Make sure that is covered with bangs or a side part with partial bangs," suggests Dumont. "Curly hair that thins at the temples will make any woman look like 'granny with a permanent,' so it's important to have a stylish hairstyle." Good advice for all of us!

This Thursday a new treaty is due to come into effect between Canada and China without debate or public discussion. It is called an Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) with China. The basic idea for it is that our companies, both resource companies and others, do not always get a fair shake in the Chinese legal system when they have disputes. This agreement will allow both countries to go to binding arbitration at an international tribunal. We have these agreements with many other countries, but there are growing worries that this particular deal is not actually equal to both countries...and Canada may be getting the short end of the stick. Getting out of the treaty is surprisingly difficult, and it would only be good for Canadian companies if they need to use this system more than China does and if China abides by it.
The assumption the Conservative government must be making is that Canada will do better under this system than we currently do. The risk is that while we may hope Canadian companies operating in China will gain a huge advantage by having this arbitration procedure what could actually happen is that the Canadian companies we are so concerned about would be bought out by Chinese companies instead. Under this agreement, "unreasonable" attempts to stop foreign takeovers could be brought to this very arbitration board and either mandated to be allowed or incur huge fines against Canada. Unsurprisingly, a lot of Canadians, especially in the West, don't like the sound of that. And they have reason to worry:
The proposed $15-billion acquisition of Calgary-based energy company Nexen Inc. by a Chinese state oil firm is triple the current total investments by Canadian firms in the communist country...
The result could be disastorous and irreperable impacts on our economy and our sovereignty over our own resources. I don't know about the details of the legal disputes our companies are having in China but it seems as though such a wide-ranging and risky treaty should at the very least be openly and vigourously debated just as NAFTA was.
NAFTA was a huge national debate which cost Mulroney his government (oh...maybe that's why Harper isn't interested) and that was with two democratic nations, including our greatest friend and ally the United States. So why does this deal have so much less to worry about when it is with China which is, to put it mildly, neither of those things?
Another question is why does protection of investors rank so much higher than all other concerns for national sovereignty, our ability as a nation to switch to more post-production of raw resources and our freedom to deal with impending climate change? Now is not the time to tie our hands on increasing extraction of highly polluting resources.
The world has reached consensus on climate change and scientists every day are realizing that their most skeptical worst-case scenarios of only a few years ago are now almost certain to come to pass sooner than they feared. If this treaty goes into effect on Thursday it will be active for 31 years, until 2043. By that point studies from 2009 already predicted that the arctic ocean will be completely ice free in summer, many now think it will happen much earlier, by 2020. Will there be any arctic at all to save by 2043?
We don't know, that's the point of not making huge commitments like this from a government that doesn't even like talking, thinking or researching about the long-term future. The next 30 years are our last chance to stop or even slow huge shifts in the Earth's climate patterns. The only point of this agreement seems to be to help investors in the short term until some Chinese companies buy them out and to provide more "it will hurt the economy and cost us money" arguments against making the hard decisions on slowing climate change.
For a great overview of the technical details of the agreement see this article from the CBC, and also these descriptions from the Green Party and constitutional lawyer Clayton Ruby where he describes the legal implications of the deal and his desire to make a challenge that the FIPA deal is unconstitutional.

Allardyce Exit Rumours Grow!
According to reports today ... West Ham United have earmarked Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp as the man they want to replace Sam Allardyce.
Former Newcastle boss Allardyce has never won over the West Ham fans, despite getting the club promoted, and his time is about up.
The Sunday People claims Redknapp, who managed the Hammers between 1994 and 2001, could be asked to make a sensational return should Allardyce depart when his current deal expires at the end of the season.
Redknapp is currently trying to mastermind a great escape with QPR, who looked certain to be relegated from the Premier League when he took over in November.
But they are now seven points adrift of safety, and if QPR go down ... West Ham will make their move.

5.00 rating LOVE these bibs! by Madeline on August 24, 2009
I've probably bought 20 of these bibs, total. This is my second batch for my kids, and I've given many as gifts. They are great for travel because they fold flat or roll. They're easy to wash because they go flat, and I just hang them to dry.
5.00 rating Best bib EVER by Lori on December 30, 2008
These are the most sensible, durable bibs I've ever used. The pocket part unsnaps so that it can easily be wiped out (no more crust in the corners). They last and last. Highly recommended!
5.00 rating Can't beat these by Beth on April 9, 2008
These are the best bibs. I ordered 2 for my son, and I was so upset when we lost one. So eay to snap together and take apart to just wipe off after meals and you can roll them up and keep in the diaper bag. They do well in the washing machine (if needed when the material edges get dirty. |

This is a great part of Montana. South-central Montana is the most temperate in terms of weather. It is also a prime recreational area. Within a 15 minute to two hour drive are Yellowstone National Park, several rivers (the Yellowstone, Stillwater and the Boulder in Big Timber), wilderness access and skiing. Some of these rivers are considered the best in the world for fly fishing. If you are into hiking or horses, there is no end to the trails on your own place or within a short drive.
This property is located just 5 miles north of Columbus, MT. and I-90, 45 minutes to Billings and just an hour to skiing in Red Lodge. Even though it is close to civilization, it feels like you are 100 miles away. There are some neighbors but they all also have 160-320 acres so no one can get too close. The property offers abundant wildlife, lots of trees and spectacular views of the Beartooth and Crazy Mountains. The land has both e pasture and heavily treed areas. There are numerous potential home and barn sites. There is some older fencing on the east and south. The road up to the property is about 3 1/2 miles and pretty good by Montana standards (not paved). There is year round access.
The house is a 30×48 post-frame metal building (only 4 years old) . The building has a southern exposure with 6 foot windows facing the south and east. It has a 1000 sq. ft. open floor plan living area and 500 sq. ft. garage/shop The interior walls are done with rough-sawn wood so it has a rustic look. The floor is a very smooth, custom painted concrete. The kitchen has good counter space, large cabinets, propane stove and propane refrigerator. The bedroom has four oversized custom built bunk beds. There is multi-line phone service and two ceiling fans. It is solar powered with a propane powered generator for backup.. Heat is supplied by two (one is the shop and one in the house) very economical and efficient propane heaters and excellent insulation. It is very cozy in winter and cool in summer. The bathroom needs completion. There is a shower in place with hot/cold water. The sink, toilet and septic tank needs installation. The septic is already permitted for the next two years. Currently we are using a temporary gray water line and composting. The shop area has a large garage door, two windows, and two other doors for access to the front and rear of the building. Currently water is supplied by a 2,000 gallon cistern in back. Water delivery is only $65 per 2,000 gals. There is an undeveloped spring in the center of the property and a well that could be used stock tank on the northern side.
It would be great as a get-away cabin , guest house or a place to live while you build your dream house.
Listed below are some specifics;
Property Taxes -Nov 2003 – $200.00/yr.
30′x48′ Metal Post-Frame Building – 7/2000, 12 GHAB Onan Generator – 6/2000

Hey there! Your house sounds like a dream come true! Is it still for sale? If not, can you elaborate more on the construction? I' very interested in purchasing land in MT once my stint in the Army is up, and would love to learn from someone who has dealt with the climate and off-the-grid systems. Email back at email@example.com Thank you!

| Mp3 files question Hello forum. I've recently had my pc formatted and installed windows 7. When I used to download songs(open source music samples that is)they use to download in Mp3 format,but now when I download They are in VLC format, I also installed Quicktime and still cant seem to have them in MP3 format. Is there something I have to install so they download by default as Mp3? Thank you. |

| Depending on where The VLC plug-in is located (check all browsers and explorer), find it and disable it. |

06 Feb 2013 | #3 |
| are you sure they are not still mp3 but displaying the vlc file icon , right click one and check the properties. if it is an mp3 then it is to do with the file associations ,you need to right click and select open with, then select a default media player you want to open them. wmp for instance will show a different icon. (possibly what you are used to seeing previously. ) |

| I have never heard of a VLC format. The files may be in .flv which you get with video downloads. The other possibility is that your filetype association for .mp3 was chnged to VLC. |

06 Feb 2013 | #5 |
| Hello! Yes the filetype assosiation has changed. I need it back to mp3. So ill look into it a.s.a.p so i have to disable the plug in as suggested?thank you. |
My System Specs |
06 Feb 2013 | #6 |
| Yes, find it and disable it. If there is no plug-in, you may have to delete the VLC program. Look in Control Panel >Programs and Features for VLC (VideoLAN Client). If you are able to disable or delte, don't forget, you will have to re-download the song files. If they still won't save as .mp3, and only as .vlc or .flv take a look here: How To Convert Video Files to MP3 with VLC - How-To Geek This will be only a work around until we can find somethng more permanent. |

| just to say the files were always mp3, they did not change, the media player that was set to open them had changed. the only thing that was wrong for you was you were seeing the vlc icon and not the wmp icon. However they were still mp3 that would play in in any media player but not showing the wmp icon. this is my winamp icon but you can clearly see its an mp3. (the winamp icons are extras i installed as a plugin for winamp) |
