Several years ago, I and a number of other African American individuals came under attack for our public criticism of Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe and his repressive regime. Some African American activists who have been outstanding champions of the struggle for national liberation thought that it was, at best, inappropriate and at worst treasonous, for people such as Africa Action's Salih Booker, the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists' Bill Lucy and me (at that time, President of TransAfrica Forum), to challenge the practices of an allegedly anti-imperialist individual and government. At the same time, we received considerable support-quiet support I should add-from other African Americans who were pleased that we had spoken out, though they themselves were uncomfortable being public in their support.
Since that time, in part because of the manner in which our criticism was so successfully caricaturized by our opponents, I have been cautious in my comments. Today I have to throw caution to the wind. Very recently leaders of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions, (ZCTU), individuals who in many cases have long and distinguished histories going back to the national liberation war (1966-1979), individuals I have come to know and respect, were arrested by the Mugabe government. Some of them have been tortured while in captivity. This cannot go on. We cannot remain silent.
President Mugabe was a hero for many of us as one of the chief leaders of the Zimbabwe freedom struggle. He put his country on the line, upon its liberation, in supporting the anti-apartheid liberation struggle in South Africa. Yet, over the years something has gone terribly wrong. Instead of proceeding forward on a revolutionary transformation of Zimbabwe that would increase the power of the workers and farmers, something else slowly unfolded. Those closest to President Mugabe came to be the principal recipients of the benefits of liberation.
For many of us in Black America, Zimbabwe dropped off the 'radar screen' until the land seizures that took place a few years back. These seizures of land from many white farmers were heralded by a considerable number of African Americans as a step toward full liberation. Yet few of us stopped to ask, who was getting the land? and what was happening to the African farmworkers who had worked the land? Such questions seemed inconvenient at best. So, two equations began to emerge as a way of silencing any questions. The first went like this:
* President Mugabe is seizing the land of white farmers; this helps to rectify the situation that has existed since the land was stolen in the 19th century; therefore, anyone who criticizes President Mugabe is actually a supporter of the white farmers.
The second equation that emerged, particularly after President Bush and British Prime Minister Blair got into the fray with their criticisms of President Mugabe looked like this:
* President Bush is a maniac attempting to dominate the world; President Mugabe criticizes President Bush for his global aggression; therefore, President Mugabe must be on the side of justice and anyone criticizing President Mugabe must be an ally of President Bush.
I wish that politics were that simple. When I briefly visited Zimbabwe in late 2004 and spoke with leaders of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions-a room full of Black faces from the working class-it was clear that politics is never that easy. They do not want Bush and Blair to intervene in Zimbabwe any more than I do, but they do want justice.
The ZCTU has led a struggle against both the increasing immiserization of the Zimbabwe workers brought on, initially at least, by the faulty economic policies of President Mugabe's government. In addition, the ZCTU has been central to the struggle for democracy. They have dared to raise criticisms, only to be painted as allies of imperialism by those who in the past had no difficulty sitting in the comfortable rooms of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund developing economic policies that do not benefit the Zimbabwean people. The ZCTU's continued struggle against harsh economic conditions has now landed their leaders in jail and subject to-what does the Bush administration call it in Guantanamo?-extreme pressure.
We stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us, as goes the famous saying. Yet we cannot be trapped by those same shoulders. What was once done-actions taken, courage displayed-is always important, but it is not necessarily reflected in what one is doing today.
If we stand with Zimbabwe and with the objectives of the struggle which commenced so very many years ago for its liberation and transformation, then today we must stand with the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions, and say that the voice of Black America will not be silenced for old time's sake.

It's April Stools Day. What will you doo?
Apr 01, 2013 — It's April Fools' Day--or April Stools day, and the Lake Champlain Committee is encouraging people to pick up dog doo, no joke.
When a press release with the words "April Stools Day" arrives in my inbox, I know I have to take a closer look.
The press release is full of dog-poo related puns. But the mission is serious: cleaning up area trails and paths so that dog poo doesn't wash into Lake Champlain.
"We were just focused on April Fools' Day - April Stools Day, as we call it - and encourage everybody to get outside with gloves and a plastic bag and wander along their favorite recreation paths and walking trails and pick up the dog doo," says Lori Fisher, director of the Lake Champlain Committee.
She can't help but make a few poo-related puns during our interview. But she says that dog doo actually is an environmental problem.
"It's not a good thing for our waterways, a lot of people think oh, it's natural. It's not a good thing for people, it's not a good thing for your lawns either."
Fisher says nutrients and bacteria can run off into the lake, and contribute to weeds, algae blooms, and beach closures.
Which leads me to another question.
"Are people taking your initiative seriously given its of its name?" I ask.
Laurie replies with a laugh--and another pun.
"I don't know! We do get some positive feedback on this, it's very . . . doo-able. It's another way to just raise awareness of the need for everybody to pitch in and do our part."
So, North Country, if you're out with dogs today, take a second, and think about what to do with that doo.

level of care-ron from Miramar, FL
Pet Name: Patty
I have just found my new vet. I went to Rock Creek because they were recommended by the Human Society. I found every single person to take an interest in their patients and they are ALL so nice and reassuring. I have met 2 of the doctors and love them both. I was a nervous wreck when I got there and although I had to leave the new cat for a few days, I left feeling very reassured. SHE WILL BE OK.
MV-Mommy of Lucy Lu and Lily from Pembroke Pines, FL
Pet Name: Lucy Lu and Lily
We recently adopted two beautiful kittens from the Humane Society. We were so worried when they both got URIs within a couple of days later. They were so little and fragile and very sick! We were referred to VCA Rock Creek from the Humane Society and we were so extremely happy to finally find a vet clinic that truly cares! Everyone there, all the way from the receptionist to techs and of course Dr. Krieger were wonderful and caring. Our kittens were back to health in just a few days! So happy to have finally found a place that it is not just a "business" like most other vet clinics I have dealt with. Thank you VCA Rock Creek!!!!
A trusted and caring place for your pet-Sundance's Mom from Cooper City, FL
Pet Name: Sundance
I have always trusted the care my terrier mix received at VCA Rock Creek for 12 1/2 yrs. Sundance visited the office regularly and not because he was sick but just to pick up his food and say Hi the the greatest staff ever, just can't say enough about all of them. They all knew him and made him feel welcome. Dr Groveman was always his favorite, making him feel special. When it was time to send My precious angel to rainbow bridge, they were so compassionate and caring. I will never forget how they cared so much for what I was going through. Thank you all, Ms Douffet
The Best Vet Clinic-Hospital-Janet from Davie, FL
Pet Name: Roxy and Tyson
I have been bringing my pets here since about 1991. VCA Rock Creek has always had exceptional staff & veterinarians. Currently I still bring both my dogs here for there healthcare. Dr. Lopez is the BEST! All the Vet Techs are wonderful. The reception area is always helpful & kind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend VCA Rock Creek to anyone who needs good vet care for their animals.
The BEST place for your pets, hands down.-Ashley from Pembroke Pines, FL
Pet Name: Toby Yogi and Tippy
We have three dogs all with different needs. I feel much more comfortable bringing my dogs here than I would any other vet. Most of all, I know that Dr. Groveman, the techs, and all of the staff will take the time to explain the treatments, costs, medications, etc that I need to know about my dogs. It helps me plan for the care when I understand what health issues they have and how much things cost. My dogs are never scared to come to this vet and I think that's a sign of how well taken care of the facility is and how kind the staff are. They are always very responsive to questions and make me feel comfortable as well. I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else.
Sick Kitty-Cindy from Pembroke Pines, FL
Pet Name: Kitty
I recently had adopted my kitten from the Humane Society when it came down with a very bad cold so I made an appointment at VCA Rock Creek. Dr. Groveman took excellent care of my kitty and within a few days she was feeling so much better. Dr. Groveman and the staff treated me with kindness and gave my kitty such wonder care and attention. Even though I did not pay anything out of pocket as that is how the adoption is handled, they treated me just like anyone else. I was also very impressed with the fact that they called me to see how she was doing. My own doctor doesn't do that. I will be forever grateful.
The Best-Sandy from Cooper City, FL
Pet Name: Lucky
The entire staff at VCA Rock Creek is extremely helpful and friendly. Both of my dogs love to go there. Thank you for all you do!

Snowfall brings some igloo joy to Ilkley children
8:38am Thursday 31st January 2013 in Local news
These children made the most of the heavy snowfall which covered fields, gardens and roads across the Wharfedale district on Friday and into the early hours of Saturday.
Instead of slegding or building a snowman, two children set about constructing their very own igloo. Jude Brogden, ten, and Amelie Brogden, five, built the igloo at Middleton, Ilkley. The two are both pupils at All Saints Primary School, Ilkley.

- small party balloon
- hydrogen gas
- candle taped to the end of a meter stick
- lighter to light the candle
ChemistryHydrogen undergoes combustion according to the following reaction:
2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g)
Hydrogen is less dense than air, so a hydrogen balloon floats in much the same way as a helium balloon floats. It's worth pointing out to the audience that helium is not flammable. A helium balloon will not explode if a flame is applied to it. Further, although hydrogen is flammable, the explosion is limited by the relatively low percentage of oxygen in air. Balloons filled with a mix of hydrogen and oxygen explode much more violently and loudly.
Perform the Exploding Hydrogen Balloon Demo
- Fill a small balloon with hydrogen. Don't do this too far in advance, since hydrogen molecules are small and will leak through the wall of the balloon, deflating it in a matter of hours.
- When you are ready, explain to the audience what you are going to do. While it's dramatic to do this demo by itself, if you want to add educational value, you can perform the the demo using a helium balloon first, explaining that helium is a noble gas and therefore unreactive.
- Place the balloon about a meter away. You may wish to weight it to keep it from floating off. Depending on your audience, you might want to warn them to expect a loud noise!
- Stand a meter away from the balloon and use the candle to explode the balloon.
Safety Information and Notes
- Although it is easy to produce hydrogen gas in the lab, you'll want compressed gas to fill the balloon.
- This demonstration should only be performed by an experienced science teacher, demonstrator or scientist.
- Wear the usual protective gear, such as goggles, lab coat, and gloves.
- This is a safe demonstration, but it's advisable to use a clear blast shield for any fire-related demonstrations.

Hey guys I'm needing some advice. I am not new to weight lifting since I played football and basketball all through jr high and high school. Of course now that I am out of highschool I am not as active. I have gained weight but luckily my height hides it a little. I want to cut back on my weight. After every workout i drink a protein shake which could have unwanted calories that would be bad for my dieting. I try to run around a mile 3 days a week. What is some other tips/advice you guys could give me? Keep in mind I try to lift around 3 days a week as well. You'd think I'd be in good shape but I still can't lose weight can anyone help? Maybe some foods that i need to cut out? Any help is useful and happy holidays!!!

It's been a rough season on the field for first-year University of Memphis football coach Justin Fuente; the Tigers are 1-6 and play heavy underdogs to SMU this weekend.
But Fuente and his staff have reason to be optimistic about the future with a presently solid recruiting class (we wrote about the U of M's quick recruiting start earlier this year).
Unfortunately, though, that class lost a bit of shine Monday night when New Boston, Texas running back Damien Haskins -- who has scored nearly 30 touchdowns this season -- flipped his commitment from Fuente and the Tigers to Oregon State.
"I thought the coaches were great," Haskins told BeaverBlitz.com. "I talked to coach (Mike) Riley and he's a very humble man and a good person. He would be a good person to play for."
It's a tough blow to absorb for the U of M, but it's not hard to understand Haskins' logic. Oregon State is ranked in the Top 10 this season, and that kind of program momentum carries over onto the recruiting trail.
Right now, Memphis can only point to the future. The on-field product, while improving by the week, is not one Fuente inherited. It's not the most ideal situation, at this point.
But even with the loss of Haskins, the Tigers' 2013 class remains respectable.
Tahlequah (Okla.) quarterback Brayden Scott unofficially visited last weekend and told The Commercial Appeal he's sticking with the Tigers "100 percent." Olive Branch (Miss.) do-everything athlete Sam Craft also continues to play very well for the Conquistadors and figures to play a big role next season at Memphis.
On the running back front, the Tigers are in outstanding position for Tearris Wallace out of Bentonville (Ark.), who's putting up some gaudy numbers himself this season. Last week, Wallace became the first player in Arkansas's 7A-West division history to rush for over 4,000 yards in a career.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Derrick Smith is no longer a member of the Illinois House of Representatives as house members voted Friday to expel him from office.
The Chicago democrat faces federal bribery charges stemming from allegations he took a $7,000 bribe in an FBI sting.
House members voted 100 to 6 to expel Smith. It's the first time in more than 100 years that a state representative has been expelled.
According to Smith, his colleagues did not wait to hear the full story.
Smith has pleaded not guilty to the federal charges. His trial date has not been set.

How to use BuddyPress Avatars in my phpBB forum
Is this simple? Maybe there's a way I could change the permalinks of Buddypress' avatar links to something that would end with their name like this: "mydomain.com/wp-content/1/Username"
I've already been messing around with the code & it seems that there is a "wp_hash" function I should play with. Is there a better way? If not, then could someone help shed some light
Thank you in advance,

HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS: CHS hopes to advance multiple players
Talent-rich team has high goals for district meet
SAN ANGELO, Texas - What: District 3-5A Tennis Tournament
When: Monday-Tuesday
Where: Ratliff Tennis Complex, Odessa
At stake:The top two finishers in singles and doubles advance to the Region I-5A Tournament on April 16-17 in Lubbock.
If they want to see what it takes to be one of the best girls doubles teams in the state, all Cheyenne Duncan and Anna Schneemann have to do is look across the net at Central High School workouts.
Central's No. 1 girls doubles team of seniors Jamie Lee Denton and Katy Collins came within one win of capturing the Class 5A state championship last spring and should be among the favorites again next month in Austin.
But first they have to advance out of district and regionals.
Denton and Collins, coming off a runner-up finish at district last spring, are seeded No. 1 at the District 3-5A Tennis Tournament, which runs Monday and Tuesday at Odessa's Ratliff Tennis Complex.
The sophomore and freshman duo of Duncan and Schneemann are seeded third at district, which gives the Lady Cats a decent chance of sending two girls doubles teams to the Region I-5A Tournament on April 16-17 in Lubbock.
"I think we're playing pretty well, and if we play to our strongest points, I think we've got this," Schneemann said of her team's chances of getting out of district. "We can do it."
Even though it's her first time to play at district, Schneemann doesn't expect to be intimidated by the atmosphere, especially since she and Duncan are accustomed to banging balls with the likes of Denton and Collins.
"We've had to play Katy and Jamie Lee our whole lives, so we're kind of used to that," Schneemann said. "It's made us see what we could be in the future and made us see who we might have to play eventually.
"We definitely want to be as good as (Collins and Denton) when we're seniors, so we need to start getting experience and the playing time that they have."
Duncan and Schneemann have a size advantage over most of the teams they encounter, since Duncan is 5-foot-10 and Schneemann is just a few inches shorter.
"We both have some height on us, so we can definitely slam the ball down," Schneemann said.
They have complementary styles on the court, and they keep each other on an even keel, emotionally.
"We really work good together moving back and forth," Duncan said. "I like to hit everything really hard, and she likes to calm me down. It's a lot less nerve-racking when you have someone else there."
Another up-and-coming team for the talent-rich Bobcats is the No. 1 boys doubles team of Joe Helton and Grant Gideon, which is seeded third at district.
Abilene High's Bryson Beckham and Brandon McCarty are the top seeds, and Odessa Permian's Austin Hunt and Alex Hunt are picked second, but the Central team feels it will have something to say about that.
"If we play our best, we can beat both teams. I'm confident," said Helton, a junior. "We just have to put them out of their game, mix it up, play solid and be in good position."
Like his partner, sophomore Gideon feels confident about his team's chances of keeping its season alive.
"I think we have a really good shot of getting out of district," Gideon said. "There's two or three pretty good teams, but I feel like on any given day we can beat any of those teams. We've just got to play well on that day.
"It's anyone's tournament. It's not our last year. We always have next year, but we still want to win just as bad this year."
Central's Claire Williams is seeded first in girls singles, and Nick Melott is the top seed in boys singles.
Rounding out Central's lineup for district are: Allie Rike, girls singles; Logan Gibbs, boys singles; Mike Pederson and Gavin Juarez in boys doubles; Ruben Dominguez and Lacy Schneemann in mixed doubles; and Josh Ramirez and Julie Swets in mixed doubles.
Central head coach Matt Rutherford is crossing his fingers the Bobcats will have a busload of players to take to regionals next week.
"I think we should have a fair amount," Rutherford said. "Hopefully we can get a great number in the medal rounds. You get to the semifinals, and anything's possible, and that's kind of what we're fighting for.
"We've got a great group, and they've really worked and they deserve to be successful. They're serious and they're prepared."

Dr. Vasudeva Rao Aravind, assistant professor, Clarion University Department of Physics, presented a poster at the American Association of Physics Teachers meeting held Jan. 5-9 in New Orleans.
The title of Aravind's poster was "Using Instructional Videos in Introductory Physics." The use of videos on websites such as YouTube have revolutionized commerce and industry in the last decade. Educators have also found this a very useful tool in propagating knowledge. In this presentation, Aravind used screencasted instructional videos for introductory physics classes, using Camtasia software. Data analytics performed on these videos showed that these videos were useful not only to students enrolled in the class, but also to many others in different parts of the World.
Clarion University is the high-achieving, nationally recognized, comprehensive university that delivers a personal and challenging academic experience.

Winston County snapped a 15-game skid in a resounding way at Malcolm-Blake Stadium Friday night, beating Winfield 54-0 in the Class 3A, Region 7 opener for both teams. It was the worst loss for Winfield since the Pirates fell to Haleyville 56-0 in 1996.
The Yellow Jackets wasted no time taking control of the game, lighting up the scoreboard for 34 points in the first half and cruising to the win over the final two quarters.
"We came out and got on them early," first year Winston County coach Wes Tidwell said of his first victory. "We played really well. We scored basically every time we had the ball and on defense we held them to one first down in the first half."
The offensive attack was led by quarterback Seth Blanton and running back Hunter Blackwood. Blanton threw for 250 yards while Blackwood topped the 100-yard mark.
"We had several kids that had good nights. The best thing to me was that we came out in the second half and didn't let up. We put them away early in the third quarter. Our young guys played the last quarter and a half," Tidwell added. "This means a lot for us. The main thing is that this is a region game and we want to make the playoffs. This is the first step toward doing that."
Winston County's last winning game was in Week 7 of the 2010 season. The Yellow Jackets finished 0-10 last season. Friday's win ended a five-game losing streak to the Pirates. Winston County's last win in the series came in 2002.
Winston County (1-1, 1-0), which dropped its opener to Lynn, heads to Good Hope (2-0, 1-0) to face the Red Raiders next week.

Why refuse cash for road repairs?
9:32am Thursday 8th March 2012 in Letters
I have to agree with the letter from Bob Hargeaves last week. The state of the majority of the roads, pavements and footpaths in the borough is appalling.
However, I would like to reassure residents living in North Manor ward that many of these have been reported to the council by your ward councillors. But if there are any potholes in your road then do not hesitate to contact us.
When I inherited the environment portfolio which includes highways following 21 years of a Labour controlled council amidst a Labour government I did what I could with what finance was available. I was deeply grateful when Bury was allocated £400,000 by the Conservative led coalition to assist with potholes following two bad winters.
Therefore, taking account of the dreadful condition of our highways and in particular to the road markings which in some cases are almost non-existent and which are essential to road safety, it is difficult to imagine why Bury's Labour controlled council, at the recent budget council meeting, turned down an amendment put forward by the Conservative Group and supported by the Liberal Democrats to allocate £500,000 from balances to be used to bring about some improvement to our highway network.
I have no doubt that someone from the Labour Group will answer this letter saying that this amount of money is too small to make any difference. But, in the words of one well known supermarket group, "Every little helps". Surely that equally applies to Bury's highway network?

The good: The Canon PowerShot SX280 HS has shooting modes for every type of photographer from casual to advanced; a useful long zoom lens with excellent image stabilization; and overall excellent photo and video quality for a compact megazoom.
The bad: Battery life is short, especially if you use the Wi-Fi and GPS features or movie capture. The flash isn't in a great location, and there are no easy panorama or HDR shooting options.
The bottom line: Wi-Fi connectivity and a new processor help make Canon's PowerShot SX280 HS one of the top compact megazooms available. But you'd better load up on batteries.

Summary: I have a Canon 60d dslr with several lenses, but when walking around town or traveling, it is too much gear to carry. As I result, I sometimes miss photo opportunities. I wanted a small camera that I could easily carry anywhere and be able to take good photos and video when the opportunity arose.Edit:
I now have it in the Canon SX280. And at a very modest price.
The camera is compact and pocketable, however, I prefer to carry it on my belt in a Case Logic DCB302 which is the perfect size.
This camera offers a lot:
1. Good built quality. It feels solid, well made in your hand.
2. Excellent image quality. Sometimes when looking at the photos it surprises how clear and sharp they are.
3. Very good color.
4. 20X zoom range gives you lots of flexibility. You can go from macro to a distant image with ease. And no need to change lenses.
5. I prefer a view finder, but I have to say that the screen on this camera is high quality. In sunlight that "erases" the screen on other point and shoot cameras I have tried, this camera still allows you to see the scene or figure you are photographing. Remains visible in all but super bright situations.
6. Fast continuous shooting, up to 14fps. Unfortunately, however, when shooting at 14 fps the screen goes dark so you are shooting blind. But at 3 fps, you continue to see what you are aiming at. 3 fps is pretty fast. My present slr Canon 60d is faster, but the Canon slr T2i I had before it was about the same, and the camera before that was only 1.1 fps. I tested it standing on a street corner and shooting the cars turning the corner and going down the street away from me, watching the scene all the time on the screen. I then replayed these photos very rapidly on my computer and there was so little movement of the cars between photos that it was almost like watching video. With 3 fps you should get pretty action shots if shooting sports events.
7. Good video. There is a dedicated video mode that gives you more options, but you can press the video button when shooting stills and get HD video. I tested this standing on the same street corner. The video was smooth and I was even able to zoom in while shooting without loss of quality. I can't do that with my Canon 60d.
8. Very good stabilization.
I first bought the Canon SX260, but then decided to send it back and get the SX280 instead. This was no problem, which is why I buy from Amazon. I had liked the SX260 very much in the short time I tested it, so worried while waiting for the 280 that I might have made a mistake. But all is well. The SX260 was very good, the photos I am getting with the SX280 are even better.
I wish that I could bracket, take at least 3 stills with different resolutions that I could assemble in my software to make a HD image, but that is not possible with this camera. But I am not taking a star away because I realize that Canon is not going to put everything in a $200 camera that it does in cameras that cost much more.
I am not using the Wifi and GPS and probably never will, so can't comment on them. But for a camera purchased at a modest price the SX280 more than satisfies my desire for a camera that I can carry with me anywhere, including travel, and be able to take stills and video I can be proud of.

Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron (1 1/2")
LesliePennsylvaniaGreat Iron!!!I received my Sedu for Christmas. I had been using the HAI Convertable for the past year and a half on my natural curly frizzy hair and decided I wanted to try a different iron. The HAI frequently pulled my hair out and seemed to dry out my hair fast. I love the Sedu because it glides through your hair without pulling it. It also makes my hair shiney, not dull. I recommend this iron to anyone who has natural curly hair. It straightens hair beautifully.

Joanna BerkowitzThe Best Thing I Have Ever Tried.I have an entire box of junk that I have bought throughout the years to straighten my hair, including other straight irons. Nothing has ever come even close to giving the results that this does. I have fine, curly hair which is prone to frizzing when it is straightened. I chose this model after reading the other reviews on the web site and was not disappointed. This really does work. It heats up quickly, and is very light and comfortable to use, even for a lefty like myself. I can finally straighten my hair myself and look like I came from the salon, in about 20 minutes. It does not dry, break or damage my hair in any noticable way. I highly recommend it.

JulieSeattleWonderful!I love this flat iron. Heats up quick, glides thru hair & provides excellent results. Threw away two other flat irons Id bought at the drugstore....NO COMPARISON! This is the best.

ValerieLoved It!!!!I have read all the reviews about this flat iron for a month. Finally, I decided to spend the money and try it out. It is absolutely the best flat iron. It is easy to use, light and straightens effortlessly. My hair is silky soft with no frizz. By far the best iron on the market.

KarenMarylandBest Hair Appliance Ever!I used to rely on thermal straightening for silky smooth and stick straight hair, but now I think I have a much better and cheaper alternative! After the second treatment, my hair started breaking...so now Im wary of the magic straight perm. The sedu flat iron did an AWESOME job getting my hair super shiney and straight. The results lasted til the next shampoo. Ive gotten a lot of compliments from my bf, and friends. My hair looks so much healthier, and not dried out at all!!! I really do think it was worth the $105 investment.

ElicaFresno, CAGreat Buy!I love the Sedu Ionic Flat Iron, it not only works great but I can go out in the rain and not worry about my hair turning into a frizz ball. I had been reading all the great reviews and not that i got my own i know why so many people love this item. It really does cut my time in half, i can do my hair so quickly and it doesnt pull my hair like my old Hot Tools iron did. I love this iron i wish i would of bought it sooner.

BrittniSan Antonio, Texas ( Go Spurs Go!!!)Thank The Man Above!!!OMG!!!!! okay, first of all, my current conair straightener sucks so bad!!!!! im 14 and having great hair is a MUST for social survival...and with my conair straightener, i might as well be dead to society! My cousin is a hairdresser in training and had to buy this straightener for class and my cousin used it on her dry, damaged, colored, u name it (no offense!)..she recently tried the Sedu and her hair looked frikin awesome!!!!she has naturally very curly hair, but her hair looked naturally straight after using the Sedu. Im soooo excited to get mine 4 x-mas because my rebellious, wavy/curly/frizzy/colored hair could not be helped by that worthless Conair straightener and started curling up even when it wasnt humid! and thats because i had it on the highest setting!!!! >:(

LaurenArizonaGreat StraightenerI have thick, wavy/curly hair and it would take me close to an hour to straighten. After using the Sedu straightener, I can get my hair straight in 20 minutes sometime even less. I have had mine for almost a month now and my hair feels extremly soft and looks shiny, no damage at all. Although, I use Bio Silk Silk Therapy as well, which I recommend using when using any straightener. This is a great product!!

Regina:)Seattle, WAI Am AmazedI live in the Seattle area and have pretty curly hair. It gets misty here quite often and we have a lot of short sprinkling rainshowers. With my former flat iron I always had to go home and re-iron my hair again to tame the frizz that the moisture in the air stirred up. With this new iron though, my hair looked perfect through running errands 3 rainy days in a row. I am amazed and so happy! It is so fast and easy to use and I could not recommend it more highly!

KatherineThe Best I've TriedThis flat iron is wonderful. Its lightweight, it heats up and cools down very quickly, and it doesnt snag hair like my old one did. The only think I dont like is how long the cord is.

Lucky Bucket Snow Suit
On Tap at the brewery, 12/27/2012
Snow Suit? Hmmm, what to expect? Nothing to describe it on the black board. I'm guessing a spicy winter warmer or perhaps even a stout. Served in a pint glass. Clear dark copper with a reddish cast beneath a frothy head of off-white. Aroma of apple and light spice. Taste of apple and light spice. A pleasant surprise! This is a unique winter offering. As you get into it the spice grows (kind of a generic mix) and some dark fruit emerges. Medium-light in body and gently crisp. Good head retention and lacing. Wonderful. Pleasant finish with a gently spicy drying finish.

3.4/5 rDev -2%
A: Dark cherry red with a quickly dissipating head--the head completely disappears; it looks like red wine or cherry juice; the lacing is non existent; it's pretty but it doesn't look like beer (unless it was a sour, which it is not)
S: Pretty subdued--sweet fruits like cherries, oranges, and apples blend with spices like nutmeg, cloves, allspice; some brown sugar and toffee notes--nice but pretty subdued
T: Slightly sweet, slightly roasted malts up front with fruity undertones; the spicing is subtle and it works well but everything is so subdued
F: Medium body, sticky, but a bit under-carbonated
O: This is okay but just too subdued and lacking full carbonation; I think this beer has some potential but it's pretty average right now

A - Pours a brownish red with a thin white head.
S - Some sweetness with lots of nutmeg and cinnamon.
T - Taste is dominated by cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The yeast is not very noticeable.
M - Light bodied with medium carbonation. Very crisp with a sticky mouthfeel.
O - Drinkable. I just wish there would have been a little more body and depth of flavor.

Purchased in Nashville @ Frugal McD's. Poured from 12 oz. bottle into Yazoo pint glass. Whoever created this entry labled the beer as a Winter Warmer but it clearly says Belgian Style Abbey Ale on the bottle; maybe a mix of both.
A: Pours clear, amber in color with a thick off white frothy head. Nice retention, the head slowly dissipates and clings to the glass. Looks inviting.
S: The nose is floral with a hint of Belgian maltiness. Some dried fruit, fig, cherry syrup. Definitely some scents of spice in there, maybe cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg as well.
T: Taste keeps it coming w/ the spices, upon which it heavily relies. Cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allspice. Beneath that some hints of a Trappist like yeast flavor with a slight amount of bitterness. Finish is slightly acidic and grainy.
M: The feel is light with minimal carbonation. Slides over the tongue and goes down easily.
O: Overall a good, light winter brew. The mix of an abbey ale w/ the characteristics of a winter warmer is interesting and works. I however tend to prefer to go full out in one direction or the other this time of year. That being said, a tasty beer that I enjoyed and would recommend.

Purchased a 6 pack at the Walmart neighborhood market for a reasonable $6.47. Poured into a pub style pint glass. Pours a very clear deep red/copper with moderate carbonation. Smells of apples and cherries. Taste is similar to the smell. After a while the standard winter spices become apparent, but not overwhelming. Finish is somewhat dry & fruity. An easy beer to drink.
I tried this one last year and was not impressed, but decided to try again this year & am glad I did. It seems as though they toned down the spice this year, although i may have just had a bad bottle last year. Its labeled as a winter abbey which is an accurate description, and leans more towards an abbey which in my opinion is a good thing. A fine winter selection from Lucky Bucket.

Sampled this last night on 3/5/14 but had it about a year ago. From a local brewery (Lucky Bucket) that is like 15 miles from the house. Bottle chilled down to 36 degrees F in my beer cooler and poured into a tulip glass.
Pours a pretty reddish-brown in color with a very thin head. Some light spotty lacing is seen every now and then but not a lot. The aroma is of some dark fruit and spices. the taste is about the same with the cloves and nutmeg coming through. Very bitter finish. Much different than the last time I tried this as I really liked it then and would rate it much higher than this time. This time, not so much. Maybe a bad bottle? No date is seen. I will give it one more time next winter.

2.9/5 rDev -16.4%
Poured from a bottle into a tulip.
Appearance- Ruby-brown color, clear with initial off-white head. Head dissipates very quickly. Minimal lacing.
Aroma- I do get some belgian yeast notes, and some nutmeg. Some sort of light vegetal aroma going on.
Flavor- Sweet spices, cassis, anise, malt notes, some type of lighter fruit, actually.
Mouthfeel - Light body, long finish from the spices is semi-sweet. Carbonation is pretty soft. Almost oily.
Label says that it's a "spiced belgian style abbey ale" brewed with six spices. I think that this would be more pleasant without the heavy spicing. It's actually taken me 3 of these over the last month or so to work up the effort of a review. I really wanted to like it more, support the local brewery and all that (I'm from Omaha), but I don't "get" this one.

While the individual episodes vary in controversial aspects, the presentation of material and factual information contained in each is impressive. It is very eye-opening and smart. I always feel better after I've spent time watching something in which I feel that I've learned something.
As someone who adores debate and intellectual discussion, I am so glad I discovered this show years ago. If you also happen to thrive on these things, you should absolutely check it out for yourself.

B-Day [deleted]
Adam was talking to his friend at the bar, and he said, "I don't know what to get my wife for her birthday - she has everything, and besides, she can afford to buy anything she wants, so I'm stuck."
His friend said, "I have an idea! Why don't you make up a certificate saying she can have 60 minutes of great [deleted], any way she wants it. She'll probably be thrilled." Adam decided to his friend's advice.
The next day at the bar his friend said, "Well? Did you take my suggestion?"
"Yes, I did," Adam replied.
"Did she like it?"
"Oh yes! she jumped up , thanked me, kissed me on the forehead and ran out the door, yelling "I'll be back in an hour!!"

I expect Gary Kubiak will be fired today as the coach of the Texans.
I expect Gary Kubiak will be fired today as the coach of the Texans.— Peter King (@SI_PeterKing) December 6, 2013
Peter King is reporting that the Houston Texans are firing Gary Kubiak today. This season for the Texans has been a spectacular disaster. They haven't won a game since September- week 2 when they beat the Titans.
They have had some injury issues, but their bad quarterback play has been the biggest reason for the slide. This means they will have a new regime possibly making the first pick in the draft. It will be interesting to see where that goes.

text: History Channel's The Bible set a new DVD record for fastest-selling TV title released on home video in the last five years, and is now the fastest-selling miniseries ever. Why was this so successful? Is the Bible a secret ingredient to great TV? Is the Christian TV audience an untapped market? ...Or has it just been an unsuccessful one until now? Jonathan Bock -- founder of Grace Hill Media, the PR firm that serves as middleman between the entertainment industry and the Church -- built the bridge that didn't seem to exist before. In the '90s, Bock worked at the publicity department at Warner Bros. during the production of My Dog Skip and The Green Mile. According to an interview with TIME, Bock said he told his boss people who go to church would probably really like those two movies. "You should hire some company that does outreach to pastors or calls Christian radio stations," he said. But there weren't any, so Bock started Grace Hill Media. And guess who marketed The Bible miniseries? With this in mind, I set out to see what other religious -- Biblical, to be exact -- programming did well and why.

As it was, he admits he was scared and feels blessed that his wife and their new baby are healthy.There was no time to wait as Christy Favia was going into labor. She, her husband Brandon and their 3 year old all jumped into their family's SUV to go to the hospital, but only made it two miles down the road.They called 911 and the operator told them to pull into a nearby Shell Station and wait for paramedics.The ambulance was on the way to meet the family, but the baby had no plans to wait. So, it was up to Brandon and a 911 operator to deliver this baby. The call was caught on tape by the 911 center. The call caught Brandon's wife screaming as the 911 operator calmly talked him through the delivery.Brandon said he was panicked, but followed the instruction being given out by the operator and in minutes he was a father again. Seconds later, the ambulance pulled up to take care of Christy and their new baby.Favia sends a big thank out to the 911 operator Amanda Weathers.
