Oregon AG to implement gay marriage if ban falls
Mar 18, 2014 | 2 Comments
By The Associated Press
PORTLAND — Oregon's attorney general told a federal court Tuesday why she believes the state's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriages violates the federal constitutional rights of homosexual couples. Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum added that Oregon is prepared to implement gay marriages if a federal judge strikes down the ban.
Rosenblum announced last month that she would not defend the state's same-sex marriage ban in court.
Two lawsuits alleging that Oregon's 2004 ban violates the U.S. Constitution have been consolidated. U.S. District Judge Michael McShane has scheduled April 23 oral arguments.
In a 35-page brief filed Tuesday, Rosenblum said there is no rational justification for maintaining the gay marriage ban, The Oregonian reported. She also said that federal constitutional protections for same-sex couples have become clear since Oregon voters approved the ban.
Allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry is not a redefinition of marriage, the attorney general wrote. Instead, she said the plaintiffs in this case "seek the same right to marry that the state offers opposite-sex couples and not a right to any newly invented form of marriage."
Court rulings that have affected the national debate include the U.S. Supreme Court's June decision to strike down part of the federal law that prevented the government from recognizing same-sex marriages.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also recently found that gays and lesbians cannot be precluded from jury duty because of their sexual orientation. That ruling extended civil rights protections to gays that the U.S. Supreme Court previously promised only to women and racial minorities.
The two decisions create an atmosphere that Rosenblum and several other attorneys general believe will make defenses of gay-marriage bans unlikely to succeed.
Oregon's marriage ban cannot survive "when it is apparent that the reason for the ban was to enshrine in the state constitution a belief that same-sex couples are disfavored," Rosenblum wrote.
Mike Marshall, the campaign manager for Oregon United for Marriage, was delighted.
"We are literally counting down the days until all loving and committed couples in Oregon have the freedom to marry, and we are thrilled that the attorney general is on the right side of history," he said.
The group is leading an initiative campaign that would overturn Oregon's ban. Marshall has previously said the group may not seek to put its measure on the ballot if McShane rules against the ban.
Officials of the Oregon Family Council, which has supported the prohibition on same-sex marriage, could not be immediately reached for comment.
Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, criticized Rosenblum's earlier announcement that she would not defend the ban, saying she was "shamefully abandoning her constitutional duty to defend the marriage amendment overwhelmingly enacted by the people of Oregon."
In several other states, federal judges have voided all or part of voter-approved bans on same-sex marriage. Appeals are pending.

Zenith Carburetor
Well guys I got a Zenith carb and the hose to connect it to the breather. Question 1, the hose apparently replaces the metal pipe and I would like to know if I can cut about 2 inches from the pipe and use it as a splice to connect? Question 2, the two linkages are the choke and the govenor, correct? Question 3, Can I take the part from my old carb and place it on the spindle so that both rods are attached on the same side of the carb? Question 4, any recommendations on gasket sealer? I apologize for all the questions, I just do not have much practical experience. Thanks in advance, Bob
Bob Hawley
Here is the blow up of the Zenith Carb:
If I remember correctly from a previous post, there is an adapter hose that fits the air breather on one end and the zenith on the other. Don't cut the breather pipe! Get the adapter hose.... part number 13 on the drawing below with a Case IH part number of 107 142 C1
Hope it helps

Rudi, Thanks for the info. I see the two connectors at either end. I didn't realize there was one at the top. I will have to look up under the hood a little closer. The layout of the carb I also have in your earlier recommendation on the parts book. I will have to study it longer. I don't see it quite the way the picture shows it, but I will get there. Thanks again, Bob
Bob Hawley
Bob, at some point your going to realize that the Zenith flange is larger than the manifold. It will work fine. If it bothers you there is a replacement manifold available that has the same size flange as the carb. I just bought one new for $55.00.
Thanks WK, You're right, I did notice that, but I assumed it must work. You know what they say about assuming. Thanks for the reply. The folks on this site are always covering you. It's nice to know that there is backup here. Bob
Bob Hawley
The choke shaft can be turned around and the I.H. lever used on the same shaft on the engine side. Then the choke rod can be hooked up normally. I think you will want the lever pointing straight down when the choke is off.

johnbron and George, Thanks for the help. I'm going with the engine side connection. Had windows to replace today and haven't got back to the Cub. Bob
Bob Hawley
Hi Guys! I finally got some time to mount the Zenith on my Cub. I didn't realize not everything lines up. My question now is about the fuel line from the sediment bowl to the carb. At the carb end the line will not seat into the elbow and strainer assembly, do I have to have a different fuel pipe or elbow? Thanks, Bob

Robsten no more…for real this
Please say it's not true! Rumors that
our fave vamp duo, Rob Pattinson
and Kristen Stewart broke up last Friday
are swirling everywhere. After officially dating for three years, reports claim their on again,
off again, on again relationship is apparently, well, off..again. And what
more? Some are pointing fingers at mutual bud Katy Perry
for the split. While sources claim Rob and Kristen broke up for the "sake of
their friendship," others say the duo will be back together in no time. Do you
think this is the grand finale…or just a little break for these lovebirds?
Twilight still reigns supreme

we'll have to wait until Aug. 11 to find out who the real winners are.
T-Swift doesn't have Bieber
Know who isn't a winner in Taylor Swift's eyes? Justin
Bieber. The country cutie was backstage at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards this
past weekend answering Qs in the media room. But when she was asked what she
thought about Justin winning the fan-voted "Milestone Award," girlfriend took the whole "If you don't
have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" saying to heart. Instead,
she remained mum and asked for a new question. Wonder if Justin still possibly
dating Taylor's BFF Selena has anything to do with this.

An update to an old ordinance in Tucumcari could mean changes for a few dog owners there.
Recently, Tucumcari City Commissioners unanimously approved a new set of requirements for owners of "potentially dangerous dogs". Now, those owning potentially dangerous dogs will be required to obtain a license for the dog, register it with the City for an annual fee of $100, have it properly enclosed, spayed or neutered, plus have a current rabies vaccination. These updates will put the City in compliance with the state's Dangerous Dog Act.
"This is done for the betterment of the community and not as a hindrance or to tie anybody's hands," said Deputy Chief of Police for the Tucumcari Police Department, Pete Rivera. "They did this for the betterment of the community and to make it a little bit easier for Animal COntrol to enforce these rules and regulations."
If the dog has attacked a person or another animal, the ordinance considers it dangerous. But even "potentially" dangerous dogs can fall under this ordinance and if it's called into question, an Animal Control official will make the decision.
"German shepherds, rottweilers, pit bulls are automatically seen as aggressive and vicious animals and that's not necessarily the case," explained Deputy Chief Rivera. "So we have to assess each case as it comes to us."
The update to the ordinance isn't just about protecting people and their animals, officials said. It's also aimed at curbing animal neglect or mistreatment.
"We have to watch out for people like that," said Deputy Chief Rivera. "They just get dogs and they don't take care of them and these dogs end up becoming strays and they're running around and they become vicious."
"A lot of people are getting mad at certain dogs because they're mean," added city commissioner Jimmy Sandoval. "But I guess it's because of the way you treat them."
All to help keep everyone, pets included, safe and accountable.

I will be posting little bio tidbits on major NPC's here.
The Rat Catcher
The mysterious rat catcher was first encountered at the Polearm's Peak in Whispermyst. Then again in the old grave yard north of Whispermyst. He agreed to lead Max and Galen to the goblin camp in exchange for help recovering a stolen silver pendant. A sacred memento that belonged to his father. Cedric Baldricson was quite unerved by this plan, after identifying the rat catcher as a tiefling, but reluctantly followed the others lead.
The rat catcher was later introduced as Cairn. During the battle with Glurchna, hobgoblin witch who was leader of the goblinoid raids, he was turned to stone, along with Cedric, by her imp familiar Q'dozil.
Baldric Villickson
A caravan master and merchant, our heroes have been traveling with his caravan for months now. He is a fair hard working man who has been changed little by his wealth. He has many children though only his youngest son Cedric is traveling with him now.
Jager Sloshbottom
Local drunk in Whispermyst, this crazy old man frequents the Polearm's Peak every night, and many a morning. Rumor has it that he was once an adventurer who saw somthing so terrible he now lives to forget.
Gareth "Threefingers" Brewster
The owner and barkeep of the Polearm's Peak, he is a gruff suspicious man who was once a sergent at arms in Whispermyst. He now runs the only tavern in Whispermyst with his wife Anne.

Coyotes CEO: Phoenix in 'pretty good shape' to host outdoor game
Originally published: Jan 31, 2014 - 7:53 pm
CEO Anthony LeBlanc has been outspoken in his desire to host both the All-Star Game and an outdoor game since presuming his role in the Coyotes' front office. He's told the media that Phoenix is prepared to host an outdoor game.
"We've certainly stated our case," he told Arizona Sports 98.7 FM's Burns and Gambo on Friday.
"Myself and four or five of the other owners were out at the LA game and we had an opportunity to sit down with the commissioner and deputy commissioner and indicate why we thought it made sense to have a game here."
Six stadium games have been scheduled for 2014 and the NHL is reportedly considering scheduling less next season.
"They'll decide how the want to move forward with the stadium games," LeBlanc explained. "It's hard to say they're anything but a success."
The demand, however, is high to host, for that very reason.
"Every single team in the National Hockey League has expressed interest to the commissioner in hosting a game," LeBlanc said.
But the Coyotes feel that their relationships in the Valley and preparedness would equip them to host right away.
"Logistically, I think we're in pretty good shape," the Coyotes CEO said.
"I think the reasonable question anyone would ask is, 'Can you guys sell the amount of tickets required to fill a stadium?'"
"And our answer is if done at the right time and against the right opponent, we absolutely can.

Hi: 21° Lo:9°
By Connie Osborne Friday 21 February 2014 Updated: 21/02 16:17
A FECKENHAM landowner could be fined up to £20,000 after illegally living in a caravan and tents.
Redditch Borough councillors unanimously agreed to prosecute the person, who cannot be named for legal reasons, at a planning meeting last Wednesday (February 12) following numerous attempts by officers to stop them from using the field for residential use.
Since the summer of 2012, the land at the Saltway which is designated for agricultural use, has had a touring caravan, tents and other similar camping equipment stored at the site, despite the owner not having permission from the council to do so.
An application for a temporary log cabin was refused in September 2012, and an Enforcement Notice was issued to the owner on February 22 last year, for the removal of the caravan and tents.
The notice expired and the owner then put in another planning application for a temporary caravan but it was also refused after officers felt there was no a need to be on the site 24 hours a day.
The applicant then lodged an appeal, but it was withdrawn the day before the application hearing.
Throughout the two years, officers had also been in contact with neighbours regarding the appearance of the site and the inappropriate residential use.
A spokesman from Redditch Borough Council said it was a criminal offence to fail to comply with an Enforcement Notice.
"The maximum penalty on summary conviction in the magistrates court is a fine of up to £20,000, or on indictment to a higher court, to an unlimited fine," he said.
"Members of the planning committee have delegated the authority to instigate legal proceedings to secure compliance with the enforcement notice, if necessary, and that process is underway."

Soldier wounded in Afghanistan accused of raping woman in Colne
10:00am Saturday 10th November 2012 in News
A SOLDIER injured when he was blown up in Afghanistan has denied raping a young woman in the bathroom of a house in Colne.
Burnley Crown Court has heard Shaun Aspin, of the 1st Battalion Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, was said to have slapped the alleged victim's face and then struck her again when she refused to give him oral sex.
He allegedly raped her, apologised, but then threatened to hit her again, telling her he was going through a rough time and she should just do what he said and perform the sex act on him.
In her police video interview, the woman had alleged the defendant told her: "I don't want to hit you, but you are making me hit you."
Kingsman Aspin, 24, was said by the prosecution to have earlier got 'very, very drunk' in a Colne pub and had gone to the house by taxi after 11pm, shortly before the alleged incident on February 17.
He was alleged to have followed the woman, who lives in the Pendle area, to the bathroom when she went to use the toilet.
She had repeatedly asked him to leave and he had refused.
The woman locked herself in the bathroom and called police.
She then hurriedly got dressed and fled from the property. Officers arrived and the defendant was arrested, the hearing was told.
Aspin, of Portland Street, Colne, denies rape.
Giving evidence, Aspin, who has been in the Army just over four years and is based at Catterick, told the jury he was injured when he was blown up in Afghanistan. The defendant said he came back with a broken neck and memory loss and had been left with flashbacks and nightmares.
Questioned by his barrister, Kathryn Johnson, Aspin said in the pub he knew he was drunk, but felt fine. He said at the house he thought he and the woman were going to have sexual intercourse.
Aspin claimed the woman initiated a sexual encounter.
Miss Johnson asked him: " Did you hit her ?" The defendant replied: "Yes, in a sexual manner. I slapped her across the face. I thought she would have liked it."
Miss Johnson continued: "Did you hit her to make her perform oral sex on you ?" Aspin answered: "No." The barrister asked: "Did you force her to perform oral sex on you ?" The defendant said: "No."
Aspin said he punched and kicked the bathroom door as he thought the woman was setting him up. Miss Johnson asked him: "Why did you think she was setting you up?"
He replied:" I hadn't done anything wrong and next thing she was ringing the police on me." The defendant was asked by his counsel: "Did you rape her ?" He answered: " No, I didn't."
Prosecutor Elizabeth Nicholls had earlier told the jury: "The issue in this case is was it consensual or not. Of course, the Crown's case is it was not consensual."
The jury is expected to retire to consider its verdict on Monday or Tuesday.

The Chewelah Cougars built an early lead and then held off the Riverside Rams down the stretch to all-but capture the Northeast A League wrestling championship on Tuesday.
The Cougars' 43-35 win left them as the only remaining NE-A team with a week left in the regular season.
Chewelah led 34-12 after the first seven matches only to see Riverside mount a furious comeback fueled by pins by Ivan Love at 120 pounds and Andrew Hansen (126 pounds) and 18-5 win by 132-pound Tyler Jack.

My first N-Days page is my Fallout Hacker Helper. I call this my zeroth project for this since I already made it, but it had no styling (i.e. it had bad styling.)
Back at It
All but Finished With Clasp
I'm all but finished with my Lisp interpreter written in C, clasp. The big milestone I got to with it is I'm able to define variables of lambdas and can evaluate those lambdas. This is enough to write Newton's method of calculating square roots.
It's not done. I still have to implement the
cars and
cdrs and such to process lists. I know, I can't call it LISP if there's no LISt Processing. With lambdas done I feel I'm through the most difficult part, I have a good idea of how to do the rest and it won't be as much work. I'll run into bugs for sure, but not as many as I had with
define and
I do feel it's well enough done that I can talk a little about it's development.
Local Creationism
I've heard people talk of the Creation "Museum" saying it was in Ohio. "That monument to ignorance isn't in MY state!" I would respond. Well, it isn't but I had no idea if there wasn't another in my state. A quick search revealed there was one. The Akron Fossils and Science Center.
With the recent Bill Nye and Ken Ham debate bringing creationism into the spotlight again, the Akron center put out a few posts about it starting with one about their thoughts on it.
What I've Been Up to: C and Lisp
I read feeds and news sites to find interesting posts or projects. This leads to an exponential explosion of links causing the act of "reading" to be reduced to "mark to read later." Realizing my ability to consume content is limited to a serial fashion that can not feasibly keep up with this fractal procession of content, I've adopted the heuristic of "just pick something."
With this, I pick one thing and stick to it. I've violated this already since I'm really working through two things at the moment: the programming languages C and Lisp.
What I Think About Math
I recently talked with Jeremy Paul of Theater Ninjas about their upcoming production of C∅dΣ. They want to know people's thoughts on things like computers, software, and math. So here's some of my thoughts on math.
Fever Dreams of Mixed Conventions and How Rituals Start
In between stretches of unconsciousness my body is forcing on me as a respite from sickness, random thoughts of my old job are surfacing. I've decided to commit those thoughts to the digital aether.
Finally Done With This Garbage
I don't know if I committed to posting once a day in the new year, but if I did then I already failed by missing yesterday. I make up for it with an early additional post of what wasted my time not allowing me to do anything else yesterday.
I found the creationist book Creation: Remarkable Evidence of God's Design by Grant R. Jeffrey in the science section of a used book store while I was looking for Jerry Coyne's book Why Evolution is True. I thought it was funny there was a creationist book right by an evolution one so I bought both. I had the intention of going through the entire book Creation and mark every misunderstanding, fallacy, god-of-the-gaps, or other usual creationist bad arguments.
But I couldn't, there was just too many that I would have just highlighted the entire book. So instead I read through it and made comments in the margins. The book is under 300 pages with large type, spacing, and margins, so wasn't hard to get through in two evenings while writing notes in it.
Jeffrey is an apologist, so that basically means to make fancy arguments that your particular religion is real (usually Christianity) but those arguments fall flat if you actually think about them. Apologetics starts with the conclusion that their god did it, then try to say how that fits reality. You see this in the very first paragraph where he states that statements in the Bible are scientific. Right there he also admits that he doesn't understand the processes of science, it doesn't involve just accepting something written thousands of years ago.
The book tries to show how scientific discoveries disprove evolution and show evidence of design. The entire thing is an exercise in irony as the methods that made those discoveries are the same ones that lead us to accept evolution. If you accept how one scientific discovery was made, you should accept others made the same way.
He is at least honest when he says if you accept evolution then you reject the literal account of biblical creation, and if you don't accept one thing in the Bible as literal then how can you be confident of anything else? You can't, nor is there reason to, so good reason to just chuck the whole thing. But of course he wants to hold onto his premise so he'll throw out any evidence to the contrary.
You can tell he already has the conclusion he wants because in all the arguments it isn't just a vague intelligent design. No, it's specifically the Christian god. He never gives a reason that it can't be Zeus or Odin.
He also tries to show how the Bible totally said things that we only now are discovering with science. There's usually two types of things in the Bible that make people say it is totally scientific. The first is it's something so obvious that they already knew, like when he claims the Bible knew blood was important to life. Any bronze-age butcher or murderer knew that.
The other type of statement are the vague ones. The problem with these are they are so vague you could say they mean anything. It could have also meant something that ended up being wrong. The problem is you have as much reason to think it meant one thing as another person saying it means another. And the amount of reason for both is none. You must prove that it means what you think.
Note how only now saying it talked about something once science has validated. With that he is bowing to authority of science.
One funny claim was that the Earth orbits in a perfect circle. Of course we know the orbit is an elipse that goes from 91 million miles from the sun to 94.5 million miles.
I think I'll purge my brain of this garbage by reading Coyne's book now.
Happy New Year!
I don't make new year's resolutions. If I want to change something, I just decide to do it right there and then. A recent one was to write on this blog more. I write here mostly for myself, I could use practice expressing my thoughts.
However, it is convenient and feels good to start things on a new year. So I'll try writing every day starting today. I wrote a couple posts recently which means I got a head start if anything. I'm trying to throw in a few ostentatious words and phrases too.
Other resolutions, that I've already been doing, is to work through books like The C Programming Language like I mentioned yesterday. I'll work through it a bit each day. I also want to write at least a little software each day, even if just changing a single line of code. I would also like to work with others on projects or just gather and talk about this kind of stuff. I've heard of mentoring as a way to improve your software development, but don't really know how that would work so just getting together seems like enough.
Like most, a resolution I'm throwing in there would to be more fit. I've been going to a personal trainer for three years then felt confident enough on my own and joined a Crossfit gym. Continuing goals includes persuing fitness even less dependent on others and go to a gym more on my own. Food and nutrition is a part of this too. I eat relatively healthy but can improve. I mostly cook from fresh ingredients so that on its own is a way to keep things healthy.
Another resolution is to get rid of things. I don't need as much stuff as I have.
Looking back on 2013, I gues it was a good year. Got more serious with fitness and ran my first half marathon (on trail.) Also started a new job and rode my bike to work a few times. I started playing in the Cleveland Softball League on the team Crank-Set, I would say that was one of the best parts of my year.
Lots to look forward in 2014 though, here's hoping for a good one.
C Esoterotica
With my new Kindle from Christmas, along with an Amazon gift card, I looked for digital books to read. The C Programming Language being on my list of books I think I should go through but for some reason thought not essential, I felt as a gift card purchase was a good reason to get something like this that you normally wouldn't.
I'm in the introductory chapter. It's just an intro to the language, just something to have you quickly writting in it. On the part about functions, it goes into the history I think only to show you how bad or weird the original C language had you defining functions.
This was how you defined a function in the original C:
power(base, n)
int base, n;
int i, p;
return p;
If no return type was declared then it was assumed to be
int. You declared the parameter types between the name and the statement block.
You know how C makes you declare a function at the top of your source file before using it if you use it before the definition? You could declare it like this:
int power();
Parameters weren't allowed in the declaration. And I say "could" because since in this case the return type is
int you weren't even required to declare this function with a prototype.
And this all compiles in ANSI C, so it could while in a "transition period" that I guess they never left. I wrote this function in a source file, after main where it was used without a prototype declaration, and it compiled fine (no warnings if you have the default warning level, but a bunch of warning if you have all warnings on.)
Programming languages can be weird, and that's even without strange historical artifacts and backward compatibility.

See my notes on C (not done) where you can find links to stuff like this:

Fresh snow aided police on Sunday as they tracked three alleged purse snatchers who had two pounds of marijuana in their possession.
Police responded to Beach Street for a disturbance in the street shortly before 10:30 p.m. on Sunday and were told by a woman that three men had just taken her purse. Police set off after the three men, aided by freshly fallen snow, according to court documents.
"They were tracked from the scene with footprints made in the freshly fallen snow that led to the Holiday Inn parking lot," said Detective Scott DeCiero of the Community Services Bureau of the Marlborough Police Department.

Police found three men in the parking lot who were later identified as Caleb Conrad Pemberton, 30, of 20 June Street Apt. C in Providence RI, Princeton Akins, 20, of 226 Park Place Apt. 3 in Woonsocket RI and Justin Laliberte, 22, of 48 Johnson Street in Framingham.
The three men had two pounds of marijuana which Pemberton said the trio had just stolen during a drug deal where they were supposed to buy the drugs for $2,000.
"Caleb, Princeton and Justin came to Marlborough to obtain the drugs for the purpose of selling it for profit," said Marlborough Officer James Gough in his report.
The men were also in possession of a Walther CP99 air pistol, which they told police they had not shown during the alleged drug deal turned robbery, according to court documents.
"[Pemberton's] sneakers matched the footprints that led us to the drugs and gun," said Officer Gough in his report.
The three were arrested on charges of larceny from person, conspiracy to violate drug law and possessing class D drugs. They were released without bail on Monday.

A few years ago, Hermosa middle school teacher Mary Smith asked students how many of them had been fishing.
After no one responded, she decided to get her classes reconnected with the outdoors.
All thirty–eight middle school students at the Hermosa school are now in a class called "camp," where Cabela's employees offer workshops to teach kids about the great outdoors.
Seventh grader Brandon Quinn says "camp" is his favorite class.
"After the classes, I really want to go outside and scout out areas and try some of the stuff I learned like the homemade filters for water," he said.
The teacher says some of the things the students are learning from Cabela's employees are the same things they would have learned in a textbook.
"I have seen a trend where kids are completely plugged in, and it was a way to reconnect them with the outdoors, connect them with community," Smith said.

A number of years ago, after discovering an old New England recipe for this wonderful and unique hair shampoo, I began making it. My family and I fell in love with it, even our dogs. Friends asked if they could try my homemade bar shampoo. So I gave them some. Today, well over a decade from when we sold our first bars, we are still getting letters from people who are still excited over having just discovered our shampoo. Now we have other products that are just as unique and work well.
Availability: Usually Ships Within 24-48 Hours
JR Liggett's - Old-Fashioned Shampoo Bar Damaged Hair Formula - 3.5 oz.
These ingredients help to add back some of the natural oils that have been lost along the way for those who have colored, permed, or otherwise damaged their hair.
JR Liggett products contain no Sodium Lauryl Sulfates (SLES)
Chemical name: Sodium Lauryl "ether" Sulfate. An ether chain is added to SLS, and is called a premium agent in cleansers and shampoos. In reality it is very inexpensive, but thickens when Sodium Chloride (salt-NaCl) is added in the formula and products high levels of foam to give the concentrated illusion it is thick, rich, and expensive. Used as a wetting agent in the textile industry, SLES is irritating to scalp and may cause hair loss.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is an anionic detergent. It is used all over the world. SLS is the universal standard used to irritate skin in clinical testing so medical researchers can test ingredients to see how fast the skin heals.
It is commonly found in liquid soaps and shampoos, bubble baths, bath and shower gels, and in most all toothpastes marketed throughout the world. SLS has showed penetration into the eyes, as well as systemic tissues (brain, heart, liver, etc.). SLS also showed long-term retention in tissues. Because SLS and related substances are widely used in many populations on a daily basis in soaps and shampoos, there is an immediate concern relating to the penetration of these chemicals into the eyes and other tissues.
J.R.LIGGETT'S OLD-FASHIONED BAR SHAMPOOContains none of the above!
Why should you buy an old-fashioned bar of shampoo when there are so many modern liquid shampoos to choose from?
Who is JR Liggett?
A number of years ago, after discovering an old New England recipe for this wonderful and unique hair shampoo, JR Liggett began making it. The family fell in love with it, even our dogs. Friends asked if they could try the homemade bar shampoo. So they gave them some.
The amounts they made kept getting larger and larger. Friends always seemed to come back for more. They said things like: "It doesn't irritate my scalp," "I have grey hair and this shampoo doesn't give it a yellow look," "My hair's fuller and feels healthier."
Finally, JR Liggett figured that if the family and friends enjoyed this shampoo so much, there might be others out there who would feel the same way. Since 1985 they have sold hundreds of thousands of bars to people all over the world.
Today, well over a decade from when JR Liggett sold their first bars, they are still getting letters from people who are still excited over having just discovered our shampoo. Now JR Liggett has other products that are just as unique and work well.
SHAMPOO SUGGESTION: If after using our shampoo, you find you might like to use a conditioner, feel free to use whatever you like.
Or try a "completely natural" alternative to commercial conditioners by using a simple rinse made from diluted (up to 50%) apple-cider-vinegar and water.
Use this rinse slightly warmed for a more comfortable feel.
After using our shampoo for a period of time some people experience a slight "coating" effect to their hair. Using this rinse occasionally as part of your routine normally brings your hair back to its original soft and silky condition.
Shampoo may not work as well as designed if you have "hard" water.
SHAMPOO BAR contains: Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, Sodium Hydroxide (lye) and pure Spring Water. This formulation is perfectly balanced so as to be very mild on scalp and hair.
Damaged Hair Bar contains:Vitamin E, Aloe Vera, and Almond Oil added, also contains a mixture of mild natural fragrances.

Somewhere Between
Rated: NR
Genre: Documentary
Street Date: February 5, 2013
Available On: DVD
The Film: To prepare to adopt a Chinese-born baby Filmmaker Linda Goldstein Knowlton set out to make a film about the issues faced by Chinese children who were raised in American homes. Her film focuses on four teens and highlights their struggles to find a connection to their ancestral origins as well as their place in American culture.
The Extras: Deleted and extended scenes, "Beyond Somewhere Between" documentary short
Recommendation: As if being a teenager wasn't hard enough "Somewhere Between" does a nice job of exploring what it is like to be a first-generation-Chinese adoptee being raised by non-Chinese parents. It's an interesting predicament (and timely due to Russia's recent ban of American's adopting Russian orphans) that raises numerous questions about race and identity. Prior to seeing this film during its theatrical release I had never considered how difficult it would be to be genetically of one race, but raised in a completely different culture with little or no connection to the place you were born (or to the culture that society assigns to you based upon appearance). I don't know that it is a film I'll find myself returning to over and over, but it is absolutely a film you should watch at least once.

Town Square
School district will accept childcare changes, pending legal consultation
Original post made on Mar 8, 2012
Read the full story here Web Link posted Wednesday, March 7, 2012, 11:03 PM
on Mar 8, 2012 at 7:48 am
The school board's job is to make sure that the right decisions are made on behalf of the students and parents. Instead, they consistently go along with "staff" recommendations especially in areas that they have no knowledge. They demonstrated last night that they know absolutely nothing about Child Care. Two very fundamental and basic issues were ignored that should have alarmed them to do their job as board members:
1. They are allowing a provider that is on probation with the State of California to be rewarded with more schools.
2. They are allowing a provider who is in bankruptcy to be rewarded with another school.
Why would they endorse these two companies? It is because the school district has a socialist agenda and they believe that free enterprise should not be part of their system. The Growing Room has proven themselves as the best provider with the best people, curriculum and management. Because they run their business so well (and are the only profitable provider), they are being penalized by the "looters." This is unjust and unAmerican and we shouldn't stand for it.
on Mar 8, 2012 at 8:31 am
I have spoken to other parents using The Growing Room, looked at all three provider's website (The Growing Room, Kids Country, and YMCA ) and have even visited all three providers facilities. Overall I would say there is no comparison. The Growing Room shines. Take a look at The Growing Room website at Web Link you will agree. Something doesn't smell right about this whole deal even going back to why The Growing Room leases were not renewed in 2008. If they had been renewed this would not be an issue until 2018. Whoever was on the committees was influenced by something other than what The Growing Room presents and was started years ago. Matthew may be on to something.
on Mar 8, 2012 at 10:17 am
I attended the school board joke of a meeting the other night and was insulted by the board members who said they care for each and every student in the school district. Don't you dare tell us you care. They didn't care about my daughter last year when we had a major safety issue with Kids' Country and reported them to the State.
I wrote to EACH board member to personally let them know what happened to my daughter at a Kids' Country site (which ultimately resulted in the 5th Level A violation for the company) I NEVER heard back from ONE of the board members OR Mr. Enoch. Yes, that's real care and concern for our children.
I wholeheartedly agree with Matt. I cannot imagine why a company with so many Level A violations AND on probation at 4 schools would even be allowed to bid on MORE locations! Where is the logic, care and concern in that poor choice?
Additionally, the fact that the woman who ran the survey cannot even answer questions as to the validity of the survey and the entire process is appalling. This should be an embarrassment to the Board to be honest and we deserve better.
My real question is who made the decision as to how the "committees" would work, how the members were chosen and the justification for who the ultimate decision makers are/were? The fact that a panel of a few people representing hundreds of families with their children's well being at risk is also mind blowing. That's where this debacle began.
Learn a lesson from other good organizations school board members and do what your CUSTOMERS want. Actually LISTEN to your customers- The parents and students. Admit the process was flawed and do it over. Apologize for the lack of transparency and validity. Be sincere and start the process again. It's the right thing to do, clearly.
It was also infuriating to hear a board member scold a GR employee for telling a child that the GR may not be there next year. For supposedly "scaring" him or her. Give me a break. Don't underestimate the comprehension of our children and their ability to "get it".
In the end a few people made the decision on behalf of the masses. NOT OK. We teach out children to admit when they are wrong and apologize. Do the same board members. Wake up and stop being so defensive.

CATEGORIES MoviesVeteran costume designer Theadora Van Runkle has died at the age of 83. Best known for her Oscar-nominated work on 'Bonnie and Clyde,' Van Runkle got her start as a sketch artist for award-winning designer Dorothy Jeakins ('The Sound of Music, 'The Ten Commandments'), and would later be recommended for the 'Bonnie and Clyde' job by Jeakins herself. Her costumes for Faye Dunaway and Warren Beaty in the film became iconic, cementing Van Runkle as one of the premiere designers in the business. She would later receive Oscar nominations for 'The Godfather Part II' and 'Peggy Sue Got Married.'
According to the Costume Designers Guild, Van Runkle died this past Friday of lung cancer. She is survived by her son Max, her daughter Felicity and her grandson Teo.
