New Republic's Foer Praises McCain on Climate Change
Sen. John McCain may not have won the favor of Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter, but he has some upside in the eyes of The New Republic Editor Franklin Foer.
Foer appeared at Politics & Prose in Washington, D.C., on February 1 to promote his new book, "Election 2008: A Voter's Guide."
"[I] think that McCain has certain political virtues that other Republicans don't, which is that he actually has kind of a record of being, of being conciliatory - that there's actually - I mean, I don't what it means for the electoral future of the Democratic Party, but there are the possibilities for doing some interesting things with McCain as a leader, and I'm mostly thinking about global warming - where McCain has the best track record on energy and environment on the Republican side in the Senate," Foer concluded. "So, I think you have some really good possibility for a Nixon-to-China type solution to climate change if he decides that that's going to be the thing he is going to use to build a bridge."
Foer said McCain's biggest challenge as president would be taking on his own party.
"McCain will have his own problems if he is president, which is a lot of the base that basically doesn't like him," Foer said.
Foer referred to the Ann Coulter segment that appeared on Fox News "Hannity & Colmes" on January 31 as evidence of this, labeling her a "lunatic" who "despises" McCain..
"[S]o Ann Coulter goes on and she basically says if John McCain is the nominee, she is voting for Hillary Clinton because John McCain is more liberal than Hillary Clinton. And she goes through on issue after issue after issue on how she trusts Hillary Clinton more than John McCain on the issues. So, it's hard to imagine with a John McCain presidency he is going to have to deal with these lunatics who basically despise him. That'll be, that'll be a treat."
Foer also said an Al Gore endorsement would be instrumental for either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, but wasn't sure if it would come in time to make a difference in the race for the Democratic nomination.
"He's the 'Big Kahuna' of endorsements," Foer said. "Obama and Edwards were talking to - were basically on the phone every to Gore every couple of weeks begging him to support them. I'm kind of surprised that they haven't gone more overboard in trying to pander to Gore on global warming, because it's obviously the way to the guy's heart."

Credit to Nate Diaz, he knows how to keep it simple.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) took one step closer to clearing up the murky waters that represent the lightweight division's title picture, now that Ben Henderson narrowly defeated Frankie Edgar in their UFC 150 rematch last weekend in Denver.
Keep the line moving.
That means "Bendo" will next defend his 155-pound strap against the division number one contender and former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Champion later this year, but as Diaz explains to the fine folks at Inside MMA, this isn't about winning the belt.
"I train with guys just like that. Athletic guys, strong guys. It's definitely gonna be a good, hard fight. It's time to fight for a title. I'm gonna do what I could to win that belt because that belt gives me ... I'm tryin' to do it for my team and f--k the belt, I'm tryin' to beat the number one guy in the world and that's him right now."
Hear more from Diaz, as well as Henderson on their upcoming scrap, after the jump.

Thomasville -- It's a growing drug abuse trend. More young people are abusing easy-to-access over the counter and prescription drugs. Drug education officers say if kids think that's not dangerous, they're wrong. Deputies in Thomas County say this school year, they plan to crack down.
Thomas County D.A.R.E. Officer Sgt. Steven Jones says teen drug abuse is a different game in schools today. "Drug use is down in every category except one. That one category being over the counter and prescription drugs."
Cold medicines, with an ingredient called dextromethorphan, are the most common source of over the counter drug abuse.
"Kids are figuring out, learning from the Internet, learning from their friends that cold medications give them a particular kick or feeling that they're looking for," says Jones.
Most parents don't realize, kids are using what's right in their own medicine cabinet to get high. The best idea is to keep these items, along with your prescriptions, in a place where kids can't get to them."
"It's easy access, it's right there in the home, in the medicine cabinet, that's where so many of them get it," says Jones.
At Thomas county schools, the sheriff's office dealt with around half a dozen cases last school year, but they say there probably were even more than that. Here, authorities have mainly discovered teens abusing a drug called, Coricidin, a brand of over the counter cold tablets.
"It's illegal for them to have those on campus. Anything they bring on campus they're supposed to take to the school nurse and we're going to try to do a better job this year of cracking down on that."
Small amounts of the drugs are fine, but officers say many teens are ignoring use and dosage labels, a dangerous idea.
"They're experimenting, and that's what's scary because this stuff can cause some really serious side effects, as well as can kill them."
With a special eye on the look out for over the counter meds, DARE officers say this school year their zero-tolerance drug policy will be enforced more strongly than ever.
This week during planning, D.A.R.E. officers in Thomas county are educating school staff on what these drugs look like and the signs to look for in kids who use the drugs.

It will be very interesting to see what Zimmer will put on the table next season. Since he's never been a head coach before, we really don't know what to expect. For all we know, the Vikings could win the Super Bowl next year, and be the best team in the NFL.
Today, Brian Robison was generous enough to give me his thoughts on the hiring of Mike Zimmer, and he had nothing but good things to say.
"I think it's a great hire. Coach with lots of passion and excitement who wants his players to be at his best week in and week out. Hopefully this will move us in the direction of being the best team in the NFL."The fact that even the players think we could be on our way to being #1 in the NFL gives me a lot of hope. I've heard great things about Mike Zimmer, and I really want to continue to hear good things and to be able to write good things about him.
It's really exciting to have a new face in the Vikings organization. It makes me believe better times are in store for the Minnesota Vikings.

"Nikki Heat is at it again. She comes upon the dead body of a famous journalist, only to find her nemesis, Rook, is already at the crime scene having found the body first. From here, the case just keeps getting better. This is Castle at his best."
--Stephen J. Cannell, New York Times bestselling author
When New York's most vicious gossip columnist, Cassidy Towne, is found dead, Heat uncovers a gallery of high-profile suspects, all with compelling motives for killing the most feared muckraker in Manhattan. But Heat's murder investigation is complicated by her surprise reunion with superstar magazine journalist Jameson Rook. In the wake of their recent breakup, Nikki would rather not deal with their raw emotional baggage. But the handsome, wise-cracking writer's personal involvement in the case forces her to team up with Rook anyway. The residue of their unresolved romantic conflict and crackling sexual tension fills the air as Heat and Rook embark on the search for a killer among celebrities and mobsters, singers and hookers, pro athletes and shamed politicians. This new, explosive case brings on the heat in the glittery world of secrets, cover-ups, and scandals.

"They supposed to be SEC"
If you didn't watch the Kentucky - WKU game you missed what could likely have been of the worst games played this entire season. Horrible doesn't begin to describe it. Anyways there was one bright spot that came late in the second half. While coming off a t.v break the t.v crew flashed over to the toppers bench and toppers linebacker Andrew Jackson made the now famous statement "They supposed to be SEC". Im sure your going to hear alot about this but I thought I would bring it to CC since I hadn't seen it posted yet.

Big bluestem is a warm season grass with fibrous roots, excellent for soil stabilization and erosion control.
A classic grass of the tall grass prairies, Andropogon gerardii (big bluestem) tolerates a wide variety of soils in full sun. This warm season grass has a fibrous root system and produces rhizomes. The extensive root system makes it good for erosion control.
Big bluestem is a good grass for livestock foliage. Caterpillars of several skippers, as well as grasshoppers, also enjoy feeding on the foliage.

With over 2,000 votes in, James Perch is the clear Man of the Match for Sunday's game against Norwich, with a good 43% of the vote.
James Perch – solid performance against Norwich
James played in defensive midfield, and Alan Pardew said after the game that he played James there because he needed a good tackler in the middle of the park, and James certainly got the job done (again), and impressed Newcastle fans with his very solid play.
And it's not the first time this year that James has done that, and it looks to us that defensive midfield could be his best position, although he played left-back at the Emirates last week, and was center-back when we played Norwich at Carrow Road in December.
And James started his Newcastle career at right back, after he was signed from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2010 for peanuts – we think it was two packets.
But in all seriousness, with displays like the one he put in on Sunday, James is turning out to be solid buy for the club, after he had a poor first season on Tyneside.
But we've never questioned this lad's guts or professionalism, and he talked today about the 1-0 win on Sunday:
"I don't look too much at my personal performance but the main things was seeing the team won and we got the three points. It makes it easier for the lads in the dressing room."
"I don't think it is hard to be on the periphery and turn in a display like that if you keep yourself right in training every day. Your attitude has got to be spot on. Not just me, there were a few lads."
"Davide Santon came on just after half-time in a difficult situation. Dan Gosling came on, Shola came on who hasn't been starting as many games as he might have liked, came on and did well."
"It's just great credit to the bunch of lads that we have got in there and even the lads in the Reserves." "The manager looks at me as a defensive midfielder so I am like a center-half playing in midfield just in front of the centre-backs."
"He asked me to put in tackles and said go and put your head where it hurts and put your body on the line, and that's what I'll do every game." "I don't know about turning into a playmaker." " I'll give it to Cabaye and Jonas to do all that stuff."
Newcastle did not play anywhere near their best on Sunday, but we got the win, and the lads hung on well in that second half to get their 13th league win of the season, and their 10th clean sheet.
We see from the comments that the lads are taking significant criticism from some, but hey, you cannot play great in every game.
We know the lads didn't play well, but they still deserve great credit for sticking in there, and getting all 3 points, especially after the heart-break of the Arsenal game.
It wasn't pretty – but it was 3 points – and that looks just fabulous to us – and as James rightly points out, you cannot do much better than 3 points and a clean sheet.
Keep the faith and we may shock ourselves by May13th when we finish the season at Everton.
Howay The Lads!!
Comments welcome.

Bennington school budget defeatedMay 22,2013BENNINGTON — The Bennington School District budget was defeated again Tuesday by a vote of 524-473.
The budget of $12,940,745 had been cut by more than $575,000 from the budget which was defeated in March.
That budget, $13,518,802, lost by a vote of 1,095-915.
In March, George Sleeman, vice-chairman of the Bennington School Board, said he thought the budget may have been defeated because it was an increase of about 19 percent from the previous year's budget of $11,360,113.
Sleeman said Tuesday that the latest budget, which was an increase of about 14 percent from the budget passed in 2012, might have still been too high.
"What we'll have to do is we'll have to call an immediate meeting of the (school board.) We'll try and meet, hopefully this week or the first of next week, and we'll review it and come up with a decision as to what we're going to do," he said.MORE IN This Just InA meeting of all Rutland Plywood employees is scheduled for 1 p.m. today.

Rushville Republican
Rushville Music Study Club met Sept. 19 at the home of Marsha Chambers. A delicious meal was served to 16 members, two associate members and one guest by the program committee consisting of Marsha Chambers, Linda Hood, Mindy Conklin and Nancy Mitchell.
The business meeting followed with discussions of the Madrigal performances in December which we hope to attend as a group and the Chorale performances to be presented Dec. 1 and 2.
The club members voted unanimously to donate $150 to the Chorale program.
New members were welcomed and programs, beautifully designed by Marsha, were passed out. The theme of this year is, "family," and the program committee presented this idea through song and dance and included numbers from The Beach Boys and The Mommas and the Pappas.


text: ELLENSBURG, WA - As students at Central Washington University take their last finals for fall quarter, they're being asked to think about changing up their academic calendar year. Switching from quarters to semesters."I like the way that our quarters are spaced throughout the year, and I like the opportunity to take three sets of classes rather than just two," said CWU Student, Alex Lauer."80 percent of the student body came out and said that we're not interested in converting to a semester system," said Bryan Elliott, CWU Student Body President. "Going into it we kind of expected that students would be opposed to it just because people are naturally adverse to change."Elliott helped coordinate the survey and received around 1,700 responses.A large majority oppose the switch to semesters. Elliott said not being able to take as many classes is a big reason behind the student opposition."What a lot of students are talking about is class variety, which totally makes sense to me as a student here because if you go to a semester system you really only get two chances in the year," said Elliott.Of course, there were some "yes's" mixed in with the "no's." Elliott said some students like the idea because semesters would allow more time to learn the material and bump up graduation day to May."If you're graduating in May you get a month head start of all your peers in finding a job so there's definitely some benefits in semesters," said Elliott. "We're trying to get the whole comprehensive picture."Faculty members asked for the survey as part of a research effort.CWU Administrators said this is all very preliminary and if changes were ever made down the road, it would take many years to complete.

Big days again for Lambo and Gordon but the best news was Nathan Eovaldi back in the rotation. We had wondered what happened to him when rosters were announced and he was MIA.
AAA –Isotopes lose 5 - 3 as Josh Towers gave up a two run home run to Phil favorite Hector Luna. The Isotopes offense was again provided by Prentice Redman with two hits. Towers did nothing to show he is an option.
AA –Lookouts wins 6 - 5 on a walk off home run by Corey Smith (non prospect). Dee Gordon collected three hits including his first AA home run. Andrew Lambo continued his torrid hitting with three more hits giving him 16 hits in his last seven games. Lambo his now hitting .377 on the year.
High A - The big news of the day was Nathan Eovaldi being reinstated on the 66er roster from extended spring training. He started the game in fine fashion with four no hit innings but faltered a bit in the fifth. He struck out two of the first three batters he faced. He ended up going five innings and only giving up one hit and two earned runs. Kyle Russell collected three hits and is now hitting .375 on the season. The big thing is the 14 K's in 59 plate appearances. A huge improvement from his prior seasons.
A – Jerry Sands hit his fifth home run to keep his average above .400 and slug at .870. One of the best pitching performances of the year came from 21 year old Elisaul Pimentel who pitched five innings of shutout ball, giving up only one hit and one walk.

Klašterní Pivovar Strahov Amber Lager
on tap at the brewery, 31.12.2013; .4l mug for 59 Kč (@$3.12)
5.3% abv, 13˚Plato, unfiltered - based on a combination of a Bavarian Märzen and a Vienna lager
Appearance: Hazy, deep amber colored body beneath an ample head of frothy off-khaki foam. The menu states that its color is supposedly closer to that of a Märzen but I think the yeast makes it appear darker, more like a Vienna lager.
Smell: Malty sweet with a hint of golden caramel, a suggestion of darker caramel, and some very nice floral hops.
Taste: The flavor is exactly as the aroma suggests it will be. It's a bit sweetish with a very charming caramel-accented maltiness, yet somehow it manages to finish dry - very nice! The hops come through nicely, perhaps adding a bit of grassiness, and maybe earthiness (but that might be coming from the darker malts as well). Median bitterness, wrapped in malt. Balanced, but leaning towards maltiness until the drying finish where the bitterness and the hops re-emerge.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Creamy-smooth. Delicate, median carbonation appears as if it were naturally conditioned.
Overall: Surprisingly good. I thought the specialty beers would be better, but in the end if I were to sit outside and have a few beers on a lazy afternoon I might go for this one.

On-tap at Klašterní Pivovar Strahov, Prague, Czech Republic
A: The beer is clear light amber in color and poured with a finger high beige head.
S: There are aromas of pale and toasted malts as well as floral hops in the nose.
T: The taste is bittersweet - it has a mild amount of bitterness from the hops and notes of malty sweetness. There are also some hints of caramel.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
D: The beer is quite easy to drink and is rather sessionable.

4.25/5 rDev +6.8%
Here was a beer that was good enough for me to experience twice during my short trip to Prague. Simply known as Sv. Norbert Amber, it did not have a "style" noted, but INHO, came closest to a Marzen.
This is brewed at the Strahov Monastery in Prague and served at the Klaterní Pivovar A Restaurace.
Presented in a ball-like mug, it has a cloudy amber color. The light head dies quickly and leaves little lace. The smell is predominately hoppy, but in a mild, floral way.
The liquor is rich and thick with a generous amount of spritzy carbonation. The solid malt base is cut by a generous amount of hop bitterness--more than any other Czech beer I've had so far (but still far less than an English/American ale).
This was my favorite beer in Prague.

Bottle picked up at brewery , amber, clear, small off-white head, decent lace.
Smell is caramel, herbal, some peanut butter hops.
Taste is also malty Marzen goodness with a firm hop snap. Clean, quick finish.
Mouthfeel is dry, crisp but rounded, medium light bodied
Drinkability is pretty good. I appreciate the firm bitterness, although it's odd that the base beer is not that sweet.

3.48/5 rDev -12.6%
Amber color, quite hazy in appearance. Beige head, beautiful on the top, a bit bubbly on the sides. Decent.
At the smell a goo maltiness, a bit of caramel, and a good amount of hop, and dry flowers.
At the taste agai a good maltiness, but not too much, with a good hop againm again dry flowers, hay, camomile notes.
Good balance.
In the aftertaste a quite strong bitterness, right here.
Fresh, drinkable, balanced. Good beer.

Dailey signs with South Carolina
Date: November 16, 2012
by: Jen Blanco | Sports Editor
The Out-of-Door Academy senior Caroline Dailey signed a national letter-of-intent this morning to play tennis for the University of South Carolina.
With her parents Lisa and Peter Dailey and her coach Mike Wilson by her side, Dailey made her college intentions know in front of her classmates during an assembly in the school's Petrik Thunderdome.
"It's incredible," Dailey said. "I've been working for this my entire life. I didn't take the traditional (college recruiting) route, so it was really huge for me to find a coach who could look past all of that and see my potential as a player."
Dailey, who is ranked 1158 by the WTA world rankings, chose South Carolina over the University of Notre Dame, Ohio State University, the University of Illinois and Florida State University.
Dailey said she is looking forward to the challenges that come from being a part of a collegiate athletic program in the hopes of taking her one step closer to fulfilling her lifelong dream of being a professional tennis player.
"It's going to be an entirely knew atmosphere," Dailey said. "(ODA) is small and I've (always) had its support. (South Carolina) is going to be a lot bigger, but tennis will allow me to still have that small atmosphere and support group. I'm just excited to be somewhere else and start fresh."
During her time at ODA, Dailey won three-consecutive women's singles state titles before taking last season off to focus on national and international tournaments. This spring, Dailey could return to ODA's girls tennis team to try and help the Lady Thunder win a state title as a team.
For a complete story on Dailey's signing pick up the Nov. 22 issue of the East County Observer.

An Open Letter to the United States Senate: 27 Groups Urge You to Oppose the $700 Billion Bailout!
October 1, 2008
Dear Senator:
On behalf of the millions of citizens and taxpayers represented by our organizations, we strongly urge you to vote against the financial industry bailout package that will soon be before you.
This unconscionable scheme forces the vast majority of taxpayers who were honest and prudent to bail out firms that made bad business decisions. Furthermore, it does nothing to address the root causes of today's market difficulties. The long-term effects of this fiasco, including inflation, a weaker dollar, and an even more precarious federal balance sheet, are almost certain to outweigh the shallow short-term stabilization of moneyed interests who have been twisting arms on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
Some in Congress have apparently decided to listen to a few political heavy-hitters in the financial community about the need to shovel boatloads of taxpayer money into their faltering businesses, rather than listening to their constituents who oppose this giveaway almost unanimously. The legislation before you has made nips and tucks to the Treasury's original proposal that ultimately cannot conceal its fundamental flaws.
Congress helped to create this debacle with the Community Reinvestment Act, poor tax policies, hastily designed mark-to-market regulations, and spectacular negligence with regard to the systemic risks posed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Instead of comprehensively addressing those core problems, this disgraceful plan snatches $700 billion from the pockets of hard-working Americans who largely had no part in this horrific play.
It would be naïve to suggest there are no problems that need rectifying in today's financial markets. However, it is equally naïve to think that elected officials and bureaucrats can solve those problems if only we write them a large enough check. There are pro-growth, free-market solutions to our challenges that would not put taxpayers on the hook. Congress would have been wise to pursue them instead of the short-sighted scheme that has been handed down to you. We urge you to vote against this bailout.

Make Up For Ever's "Artisan Brush Collection" is epic. Five years in the making, the collection is comprised of 76 different brushes, hand-crafted by 30 people, through 25 stages of construction, on the island of Mauritius under the direction of renown brush maker Raphaël. While cosmetic company does cater to pros who might have need for a "fork shaped" brush to create stripe effects or oversized versions so wide you could use them to paint your house, it also keeps the average gal in mind, too. So in addition to the "Artistic" series in the collection, you'll find basic brushes for applying every kind of foundation (liquid, cream, loose powder), eyeshadow, lipstick and blush brushes galore. The synthetic-bristled and beech wood-handled brushes have that "made on the island of Mauritius feel." Don't know a smudger from a blender? The Make Up For Ever boutique on Robertson Boulevard offers free classes with purchase.
Make Up For Ever's "Artisan Brush Collection" will be available at sephora.com and at Make Up For Ever Boutiques in September. (A limited selection of styles from the collection will be available at Sephora brick-and-mortar stores).

Recent census data indi-cates that although the total number of households in the United States increased between 2008 and 2011, the number reporting earned annual income of $35,000 to $100,000 actually decreased by 676,000. This is significant because it confirms the narrative of middle-class decline.
I have always thought that if middle-class decline is accompanied by a decline in households with lower income (less than $35,000) and an increase in upper-income households (more than $100,000), then hooray for middle-class decline. The national data, however, reveals an increased number of lower-income households (967,000) and an increased number of households with upper income (1,847,000). So the news is decidedly mixed.
To conservatives and libertarians, the decline in the middle class is somewhat problematic — but we are not as apoplectic about the issue as progressives. To our more left-leaning friends, the pulling apart of the income distribution is a disaster calling for massive government intervention. Those of us who are less than politically correct, however, say income distribution is kind of like the weather: It is of interest, but we suspect there is little the government can do about it that is useful. Oh gee, I forgot: According to progressives, we can "save the planet" from sure doom by installing windmills and solar panels everywhere — which will, they argue, also restore the middle class.
The census data is also parsed state by state. Indiana's population has essentially been stagnant over this time frame. The data shows the Hoosier State has lost 28,000 middle-income households. The good news, though, is that upper-income households have increased by 25,000 while lower-income households have only increased by 2,000. In my opinion, this beats the national trend.
Interestingly, the red-state, mid-continental energy belt of North Dakota to Oklahoma has bucked the national trend and actually has seen a decline of 42,000 low-income households coupled with an increase of 13,000 middle-income households and an increase of 107,000 high-income households. Could it be that developing "evil" carbon energy reduces poverty and strengthens the middle class?

Proposition 37 Rejected In California, But Other GMO Labeling Initiatives May Be On The Horizon
The high profile battle over Proposition 37 is now officially over. The California voter initiative, also known as the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act, would have required certain raw and processed foods that have or may have been "entirely or partially produced with genetic engineering" to be labeled as such. However, California officials reported early on Wednesday morning that voters had rejected the ballot initiative, 53% to 47%.Continue Reading...
Californians to Decide Tomorrow Whether Prop 37 Sinks or Swims
Tomorrow, California voters will be asked to decide the fate of Proposition 37, a voter initiative that would require certain raw and processed foods that have or may have been "entirely or partially produced with genetic engineering" to be labeled as such, if sold in California. Proposition 37 contains a number of exemptions from the labeling requirement. Specifically, if passed, the following foods would be not be required to comply with the mandatory labeling provisions of the initiative:
- certified organic products;
- alcoholic beverages;
- medical foods;
- food sold for immediate consumption, such as in a restaurants;
- products unintentionally produced with genetically engineered material;
- food made from animals fed or injected with genetically engineered material but not genetically engineered themselves; and
- food processed with or containing only small amounts of genetically engineered ingredients.
Initially, Proposition 37 was supported by more than two-thirds of Californians who said they intended to vote on November 6, according to a poll from the California Business Roundtable and Pepperdine University's School of Public Policy. On October 30, however, their latest poll indicated that support had dropped to approximately 39% and opposition had increased to almost 51 percent.
In addition to being the center of heated debate here in the U.S. over the past several months, the initiative has also received international attention. A recent article in The Guardian noted that "California's ballot initiatives often take on huge importance. Often they are seen as laboratories for new ideas, that are adopted later in the rest of the country."
Stoel Rives attorneys will be watching the outcome of the polls in California and will report on the results later this week.
California's Proposition 37 and WTO Agreements
Recently, I attended the annual American Agricultural Law Association (AALA) Conference in Nashville, TN. A topic on many of the attendees' minds was California's Proposition 37 or "The California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act." A previous discussion of Proposition 37 can be found here.
If passed in November, the voter initiative would require certain raw and processed foods that have or may have been "entirely or partially produced with genetic engineering" to be labeled as such. In addition, Subsection 110809.1 provides that if a food is "genetically engineered" or "processed" as those terms are defined under the initiative, the food's label may not, in California, state or imply that the food is "natural," "naturally made," "naturally grown," "all natural," or use any words of similar import that might mislead any consumer.Continue Reading...

We know facial hair can be the most annoying of all unwanted hairs because we can't hide it under clothing if we have to, like on the body. Everyone, but especially females who have struggled with a large amount of facial hair knows how annoying the process can be of constantly worrying about ways to get hairless.
Can I Use Either Method?
- Laser: The mainstream laser unit can only be used on those with light skin and dark hair. It can burn those with dark skin and not give optimal results for people with light hair because the laser targets pigment (dark color). Advancement is being made in laser technology for those that don't fit the light skin/dark hair profile using a combination of radio frequency and laser.
- Electrolysis: Can be used on anyone despite their skin or hair color because it attacks the hair follicle itself, and not the pigment in the hair.
How Long Is a Session, and How Many are Needed?
- Laser: Facial zones are small, so they aren't that time-consuming. To give you an idea, a treatment for the eyebrows generally takes about 15 minutes. Usually 4- 6 treatments are needed, spaced out about a month apart to achieve the best hair reduction results.
- Electrolysis: Each hair follicle has to be individually treated, and approximate times depend on the type of electrolysis used, as some are more advanced than others (read more). For example, one treatment on the eyebrows may take 15- 30 minutes with an experienced technician. Anywhere from 15 – 30 sessions are needed to get the best results.
Electrolysis Versus Laser Hair Removal: Prices
- Laser: Each visit averages $200 - $900, based on the size of the area being treated and the facility. Since the facial zones are fairly small, they will be on the lower end of the price spectrum.
- Electrolysis: An average 30-minute session is about $45 and will treat a small area, like the eyebrows.
Pain Factor
- Laser: It feels like a rubber band 'snapping' against your skin and a heat sensation. Everyone has their own tolerance to pain and discomfort. Coarse, dark hair feels more of the burn. So a man's laser hair removal in the beard and mustache area will feel more painful than a woman's lip, cheeks or chin.
- Electrolysis: Everyone has their own tolerance to pain. Electrolysis has been likened to a stinging and pricking sensation, and each follicle has to go through it.
Possible Side Effects?
- Laser: Laser hair removal on the eyebrows can be dangerous if the laser light comes into contact with the eyes. Therefore, you need to wear protective eye shields and keep you eyes closed for the entire treatment to avoid any contact. Scarring, although rare is a possibility. Laser can also stimulate hidden facial hair to grow in women.
- Electrolysis: Skin can get discolored if it's done improperly.
- Laser: Approved by the FDA for permanent hair reduction. According to The Mayo Clinic, lasers can reduce hair counts 40% to 80%. Facial hair on women is often lighter and finer than on the body, and this hair may not respond as well to the laser because it targets pigment (color) in the hair follicle.
- Electrolysis: The only method approved by the FDA for permanent hair removal. It has the best track record, but isn't 100% guaranteed for everyone. For example, hair follicles can be bent or misshapen from previous waxing or tweezing, now making getting the electrolysis needle to the root more difficult to destroy the follicle. However, electrolysis is effective for ridding fine facial hair, whatever the color may be.
Can I Do Electrolysis or Laser at Home?
- Laser: Tria Laser is a home device cleared by the FDA for permanent hair reduction, but not for the face, only below the neck. However, Silk'n SensEpil also FDA approved for permanent hair reduction, uses IPL (intense pulsed light) and can be used on the face from the cheekline down.
- Electrolysis: Sure, electrolysis units are sold for use at home. But just think how electrolysis is performed, by inserting a needle into the follicle. I personally don't feel electrolysis at home can be done safely or effectively.
Electrolysis Versus Laser Hair Removal: The Bottom LineIf you have dark skin or light hair, you can't rely on standard laser hair removal for safety issues or to give you optimal results on your face. A hybrid of laser and radio frequency used for dark skin or light hair may not be available in your area. Electrolysis may then be your only option.
But if you have light skin and dark facial hair then you can choose between either option. Laser is the generally the less expensive of the two and requires less time and treatments. Laser might be your better choice if you would be happy with most of the hair being removed, or the hair being finer and lighter. If you have a lot of light hair removed or the hair is something that you want the best chances of getting permanent hair removal, then I recommend electrolysis.

At the moment I have fairly short hair but I've always wanted to grow my hair out and want to give it a go. Ideally I want to get it longish like Charlie Simpson from the band Fightstar so it's long but manageable and quite smart (Charlie's the main guy in the foreground).
What do I need to know before growing my hair out
What do I need to know or bear in mind - i.e. do I just let it grow and grow or get regular hair cuts still etc?
I'm really aware that a lot of people start growing and then give up so any tips on what to do would be cool. Odd question but I'm guessing others on here have done it.

The Spice on Snow Festival kicked off in Montpelier Thursday afternoon and goes through Sunday. In addition to local performers, the festival also is bringing the music and cuisine of Louisiana up to Vermont.

The organizer told us she fell in love with Cajun music and food and had to share it with Vermonters.
"What I think is really special about this festival is that it's in the middle of winter," says Katie Trautz. "And it really brings people together and out of their homes in the cold and when it's really dark and it gives us that community building that we really like here in Montpelier."
