Fairy LiceMothers recommends their MagicWand nit comb along with their MagicHalo Shampoo and Conditioner. Watch their comb-out video for assistance fairylicemothers.com/lice_treatment.html.

Because I am such a nerd for democracy, Washington D.C., is one of my very favorite cities in the world. Nevermind that its Chinatown is all of one block long and that its IKEAs are actually in Maryland and Virginia, our nation's capital is nonetheless my very favorite place on earth.
As a teenager, I visited my favorite aunt there almost every summer. We visited the monuments and Smithsonian museums. I brought home postcards of paintings in the Freer Gallery collection and decorated my bedroom.
Last week, I ventured to the city with my daughters, and came away once again feeling all gushy inside for America.
Although my husband and I were both in the city, we barely saw each other, as he was tending to work duties during the days and many of the nights. That left the girls and me to explore on our own.
I wasn't brave (or foolish) enough to attempt a trip to the National Mall or the Smithsonian museums on my own. Posey is 3 in a big way, and an outing like that would require at least two — possibly six or more — alert adults. Instead, we went to the National Zoo. It was a drizzly day, which worked in our favor, since it meant throngs of other summer tourists opted for indoor activities.
There were no crowds to obstruct our views of the animals, and no waiting to get a glimpse into windows in the indoor spaces.
This Wonderful Life: Posey and Bee Go to Washington
You should know, first,
that I am a total democracy
nerd. Nothing is so thrilling
to me as a peaceful
transition of power. And
when the leaders of our
communities, states and
country preserve and uphold
the rule of law, well, I
must admit, I get a little
flutter in my tummy.

Celebrate Nova Scotia's renowned brewing history during this memorable visit to the Atlantic Beer Institute, Alexander Keith's Nova Scotia Brewery and the Stag Head's Inn.
Depart the pier on-foot for a guided visit to a pair of Halifax's finest brewing institutions. Your first stop will be a visit to the Atlantic Beer Institute. Located just minutes from the pier, the Atlantic Beer Institute is the first of its kind in Atlantic Canada. During your visit, you will take an in-depth look at the history of one of the world's oldest beverages, and the process by which local experts brew this popular libation.

Next, you will take a step back in time for a visit to one of North America's oldest working breweries, Alexander Keith's Nova Scotia Brewery. Led by a host clad in traditional garb, you will be treated to a rare glimpse of how this ale is brewed before completing your Bachelor of Beer Arts (BBA) degree with a song or two, and a nip of Mr. Keith's finest ale at the Stag's Head Inn.
Following your tour, you will return to the pier.
Please note: This tour involves approximately 1-hour of casual walking/standing. There are approximately 30 steps leading up to the Beer Institute and approximately 20 steps leading up to Keith's Brewery.

Family doctors pass test in move to run health service in Oxfordshire
9:30am Wednesday 12th December 2012 in News
FAMILY doctors in Oxfordshire are on course to take over controlling local health services after they passed a key test.
From April 1 next year Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (OCCG), which is made up of GPs and other clinicians, is set to start managing the county's £650m NHS budget.
It has now become one of the first groups in the country to receive authorisation from the NHS Commissioning Board, which is overseeing the transition from primary care trusts to the new commissioning groups.
The group has to submit further evidence on its constitution and its plans for the next three financial years.
But Dr Stephen Richards, chief clinical officer of OCCG, said: "Authorisation at this stage, albeit with conditions, confirms our decision to be one of the first wave of commissioning groups."

Richmond Residents are REDI for Housing Rights
Even a determined family effort was not enough to keep Jessica Peregrina's home out of default. "We bought a six-bedroom home in San Pablo for $540,000 to house our large tight-knit family and keep us close together," says Peregrina. Shortly after they bought the house, their mortgage lender went bankrupt. Another bank bought the mortgage and switched it to an adjustable rate. The house lost 30 percent of its value, while the family's payment ballooned by $1,200 per month, sending them into foreclosure. "My family has sought help from multiple sources," says Peregrina. "I looked everywhere for an organization or program to help and I can't find any."
Peregrina and many others told their stories at a Housing Crisis Town Hall meeting at St. Mark's Church in Richmond, California. More than 500 community members and elected officials packed the church for the March 12, 2009 event sponsored by the Richmond Equitable Development Initiative (REDI).

If you like cynicism in politics, you've got to love Barack Obama. There's nothing naïve or fanciful about the way he says one thing to one audience and another thing to a different voter or funding group. It's all about cold calculation under the perverse, narrow-spectrum, and "winner-take-all" rules of the
Speaking recently to the privileged editors of the
"I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of
As liberal blogger Mat Stoller notes, Obama "agrees with Reagan's basic frame that the 1960s and 1970s were full of 'excesses' and that government had grown large and unaccountable. Those excesses, of course, were feminism, the consumer rights movement, the civil rights movement, the environmental movement, and the antiwar movement. The libertarian anti-government ideology of an unaccountable large liberal government was designed by ideological conservatives," Stoller rightly adds, "to take advantage of the backlash against these 'excesses.'"
"Reagan was not a sunny optimist pushing dynamic entrepreneurship," Stoller rightly observes, "but a savvy politician using a civil rights backlash to catapult conservatives to power" (1A).
Obama knows that very well but he's not about to say it to "conservatives" whose endorsement he's seeking in

Those sentiments are also well to the left of the predominantly white corporate and imperial power-brokers Obama knows to hold the keys to the ultimate establishment job – the
And so in his Ebenezer oration last Sunday, there was no praise for Ronald Reagan, who remains understandably unpopular in the black community. There was no beating up on the "excessive" 1960s, when King and the movement he represented ended legal segregation and won black voting rights in the deep South.
Obama invoked King's memory to advocate focusing on "common challenges we face – war and poverty, injustice and inequality." Obama praised Dr. King for "leading by marching and going to jail and suffering threats and being away from his family. He led by taking a stand against a war," Obama said, "knowing full well that it would diminish his popularity. He led by challenging our economic structures, understanding that it would cause deep discomfort."
"The changes that are needed," Obama added, "are not just a matter of tinkering at the edges, and they will not come if politicians simply tell us what we want to hear."
King would have agreed.
But Obama's policy agenda has been repeatedly and accurately described as militantly "incrementalist" – the very epitome of "tinkering at the edges."
And it's hard to escape the conclusion that Obama was telling his black listeners in
King: "Something is Wrong With Our Economic System"
It is true that King "challenged our economic structures." To be more explicit about it in ways Obama would never dare, the democratic socialist King challenged the moral legitimacy capitalism and called for "the radical reconstruction of society itself" (2A).
King also contrasted the endemic poverty and inequality evident in capitalist
Obama: "Our Greatest Asset" – Capitalism
But in his remarkably power-friendly campaign book The Audacity of Hope (New York: 2006), Obama praised the industrialized world's most unequal and wealth-top-heavy nation – the United States – for the glorious workings of its savagely regressive capitalist system. "It takes a trip overseas," Obama said, "to fully appreciate just how good Americans have it; even our poor take for granted goods and services – electricity, clean water, indoor plumbing, telephones, televisions, and household appliances – that are still unattainable for most of the world.
How about that?

|Police charge VWHS student in Homecoming incident
|Tuesday, October 08, 2013 12:00 AM
Staff Report
VAN WERT — Van Wert Police have charged a 16-year-old student with delinquency and inducing panic as a result of a weekend investigation. The boy is facing charges of delinquency and inducing panic. Since the public place is a school, the inducing panic charge is a felony of the second degree. The charges were filed by the Van Wert County Prosecutor's Office in Van Wert Juvenile Court.
The suspect was brought to the police station by a parent. He was informed of the charge, was processed, and released to the custody of the parent.
Because the student is 16 and is not charged outside of Juvenile Court, the name of the suspect is not being released.
Van Wert Police reported on Saturday that officers had responded to the high school after receiving reports that a 16-year-old male student had sent a message referencing a weapon, and based on other information, determined the boy was planning to attend the Homecoming Dance at the school.
Police located the student prior to him entering the dance and detained him. A check of the student and the two persons with him that night revealed no weapons.

"Let Them Eat Carbon: Britain's New Green Tax Con": New Book Invites Consumer/Voter/Environmental Backlash
"I wrote this book because the rising cost of energy is an increasingly important feature of the political landscape, as it massively affects the cost of living for families across Britain. Excessive green taxes make everything from driving to work to taking a well-earned holiday more expensive and make it a lot harder for manufacturers to compete and keep employing people here in Britain.
Motorists are particularly hard hit and unfairly penalized well beyond the cost of maintain the roads and the environmental harms their emissions create. The Government need to give families a better deal and cut unfair green taxes."
- Matthew Sinclair, Press Release, Let Them Eat Carbon (London: TaxPayers Alliance: August 2011)
Matthew Sinclair, director of the TaxPayers' Alliance, has penned an educational tract to get his fellow countrymen to reconsider what in their good graces has been accepted as sort of a public duty–to buy into climate/energy alarmism and to do their fair share.
In addition to covering all aspects of Britain's green taxes, what they are and why they were implemented, the book (available from Amazon here) examines subsidies for renewable energy; emissions trading; windfall profits for industry; and environmentalist and corporate lobbying. The introduction (see excerpts below) is downloadable.
Press Release
The biggest threat to taxpayers right now is expensive new green taxes and subsidies. In the first ever mainstream book on this subject … Matthew Sinclair has exposed how this is the critical new threat to family finances. With rising fuel bills and petrol prices, it will be a defining feature of the political landscape over the coming year.
'Let Them Eat Carbon' shows how Fuel Duty is putting huge pressure on motorists. An energetic campaign against the tax is arguing for it to be frozen for the rest of this Parliament, after the cut at the last budget, and is among the most popular on the new government e-petition website.
Increases in Fuel Duty and other green taxes have frequently been justified by the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions, but estimates in the new book show that argument isn't credible. Providing new figures and using a method pioneered in earlier studies for the TaxPayers' Alliance and used by researchers at the Department for Transport, it finds that green taxes were excessive compared to the harms they are meant to address: [Read more →]

Commitment and perseverance are the main messages of the Chinese book of wisdom I Ching.
Sid Hingerty put these virtues into practice his way:

- he wrote to his MP Jeremy Lefroy:
Dear Sir
Last year I wrote to you and David Cameron about the 5 month old baby STOLEN
from Spain by Bridgend Social Services WITHOUT any legal documents !!!!!!
I also wrote to the Queen and did get a letter back saying that the Queen doesn't get involved in these issues but had sent a letter to the right honourable Eric Pickles who couldn't even be bothered to get off his backside to reply to a letter supposedly sent from Buckingham Palace!
We are all now learning of the huge amount of paedophiles in positions of high power and over children in care and the care homes too!
WHY WILL NO POLITICIAN demand enquiries into these child abuse cover ups and the continued stealing of children for forced adoptions with lies and false allegations !!!! [Comment: Sid, there is now the request for a National Inquiry into Organised Child Sexual Abuse - started by the Magnificent Seven MPs and supported by 142 MPs altogether. I wrote to the 508 others: Do you want to stop child snatching and paedophile scandals? Everybody knows!]

WARREN -- A city police officer was shot at just after midnight Saturday.
According to scanner traffic, someone fired a shot at the officer while he was in his cruiser in the area of Fourth Street and Highland Avenue S.W. The name of the officer was not known early Saturday.
The weapon used was a long gun, semi-automatic, according to police.
Neither the officer nor the cruiser was struck.
An eyewitness told police he saw someone run eastbound along a fence on Fourth wearing a puffy, winter-type jacket.
Within minutes, other officers including Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers swarmed the area, set up a perimeter and searched the southwest side neighborhood.
About the same time the officer was shot at, city police dispatch received a call from a woman claiming she heard three gunshots in the area of Fourth and Main Avenue.
The caller said she saw a black male wearing dark clothing pull up in a Chrysler 300, stop the car, look in the trunk, then drive away.
Whether the two incidents were related was not known. Police could not find anyone matching the description.
About 12:50 a.m., officers working the midnight turn were told they could leave, while others continued to canvass the area.
