I hate flying. But, something I hate more is flying when I have to ride tiny puddle-jumping planes. Yet, even worse, is flying in a small plane for something I don't want to go to.
Yesterday, all of these (and more) happened. I was called to testify in a murder trial in the panhandle. I didn't know anyone personally, but I was an adviser to an organization the accused was part of. Of course, I wasn't looking forward to going, but had to. So, they flew me out of College Station to Houston on the first leg of the trip before I was scheduled to go to Amarillo.
So, the reason for the trip is not good.
Then, while driving to the airport, I knew the flight wasn't going to be fun, because of the thick clouds and driving wind. Going through security, they tossed my shaving cream because it was slightly too large. Then unpacked my nicely packed shirts and wrinkled them. No big deal, right?
Well, then the flight is delayed a 1/2 hour because of a computer problem and the flight attendant is on her first day and doesn't know what she is doing. We finally take off, but by this time everyone on the plane is miserable, because the air conditioner is not working and it is about 85 on board.
After tossing and bouncing for 50 minutes - the entire flight I have the armrest in a death-grip - we land. Thank goodness, it is all over. NOPE!
I realize that my connection is going to be tight and after waiting for a shuttle to pick us up and nearly getting lost, I walk at warp-speed to my gate, which is empty...I missed my flight because of the earlier delay.
I finally get on the next flight, scheduled for 3 1/2 hours later. I then call the D.A.'s office, who inform me that I don't need to come, the plans have changed. Huh? Then why am I stuck in an airport in Houston? So, now my plan is just to get home, but easier said than done.
There are no more flights back to College Station, so after thinking it out for 15 minutes, I decide to get a rental. I find the shuttle, go to the rental car companies and am told by all of them (after waiting in line several times and doing this for a 1/2 hour) that I can't do a one way rental to College Station from Houston. Great!
Then I remember that there is a shuttle to College Station. So, I get back on the airport shuttle and go to the terminal. But, I am in the wrong terminal. So, I go to the other terminal and finally find someone who knows about the College Station shuttle - but I need a reservation. They give me a phone number and I finally get a reservation (oh, I forgot to tell you my cell phone almost died). But, I have to wait another 2 1/2 hours.
By this time I am very hungry. But, the only place to eat is back through security and I can't get there. I settle for a stale box of popcorn. I get on the shuttle. I go home.
Then, when I get here - they don't take credit cards and I have no cash. Uh-Oh. Luckily the guy is nice and I convince him that since I work for a church he can trust me to mail it to him. I get 4 hours of sleep.
But, through it all God kept me patient and calm. Thank God, I could have really lost it yesterday without Him. :-)

Real control is supposedly Redkens heavy duty moisture line but I actually think All Soft works better. I have very dry hair and I feel that this mask add moisture but not much change in the areas I need, mostly the ends of course. I'm giving it three stars because although it misses it's points on moisture it gives a gorgeous shine.
I have very long, coarse hair so I go through a lot of conditioner. This hair treatment is incredible. It leaves my hair soft and shiny and tames the frizz. I was using this every other day because I love the way it makes my hair so manageable. But the package is small and I was running out of product so quickly. So now, I went back to my usual conditioner, but use a little of the Redken Super Moisturizing Mask on my ends and then do a full deep condition with it once a week. I have spent a lot of money on more expensive conditioners but none so far have compared to this mask.
More reviews by cinnamonstickbella
I @think@ this works well. My style is suggested it since my ends of my hair were bleached and dry from going ombre. My hair tends to be a little understanding side and its pretty straight with a slight slight slight bit of ways. I put it on my head and left it on for 6 hours as I walked around the house on a Saturday. But I'd cap over it as my hairdresser suggested. Rinsed it out and did not shampoo after. I thought it made a nice difference to my hair. I did it again two days later and still feel like the product was worth buying. I only needed a little bit so it seems like the jar is going to last a long time. My hair does look less frizzy on the end. There's another Redken jar/mask product that after reading up on seal may have been a better match for me. Its called Extreme Stregnt and comes in purpleish jar. You'll see it its on makeup alley. Same type of idea as this product. This one seems to work well (from what I read) if your hair is thick and curly, which mine is thin and pretty straight but I was happy with the product overall. When this jar runs out which probably will be 6 months or more with using 2 or 3 times a week I may try the other Redken product that is similar (Extreme Strength mask). I feel it was worth the money and I'm pretty thrifty.
My hair is fried: dyed, bleached, dyed again and highlighted in the last 6 months. I have short hair so they get a trim fairly often but even then, they need special care. After reading the reviews i decided to go for this mask. I left it on for about an hour, rinsed and let my hair dry. Honestly, i don't see much difference.....My hair is slightly softer but nothing miraculous. I am disappointed, i was kind of expecting something a bit more dramatic. I get the same result with a drugstore mask....too bad.

I have been using this treatment for about 9 months now and I absolutely LOVE IT!! I love being a blonde (ahem not my natural color) so I have a few years of highlights and lowlights. After my second child my hair was a dull, dry, lifeless mess. It definately needed some TLC and this product has done WONDERS to my hair.
I do use it in the shower sometimes when I am in a hurry (leaving it in for 5 or 10 minutes then rinse), but most of the time I leave it on a lot longer. About every 2-3 weeks I use a clarifying shampoo, towel dry, separate, and apply to every inch of my hair combing it in with a wide tooth comb. I wind it up place it on top of my head with a clip then put a disposable shower cap on. Add a warmed towel from the microwave and do some house work ect for 1 - 2 hours. Rinse and style! It does take a little effort to rinse it out so I start with pretty warm water and turn it cooler. But the end result is remarkable. Has definately saved my hair! It does weigh my hair down slightly the day I use it, but I can still get plenty of volume and my hair still holds curl. Any added weight is gone the next shampoo but my hair is still moisturized and shiney.
The price is a little steep upon first glance, but considering I am still on my first tub after 9 months and my hair length is to my bra strap, not too bad. I have definately spent more on things that didn't last as long or work nearly as well! I have never been too impressed by Redken's products in the past, but a huge thank you to the Ulta salesperson who recommended this!!

I really love this stuff! Now I know that the package says that it's for dense, unruly hair (or something along those lines) which I definitely do not have. In fact I have pretty fine hair, but I do have a lot of it. But it's also very dry, due to the fact that I flat iron my hair everyday... and have it colored every 5-6 weeks or so.
I use this treatment maybe once or twice a week (I only shampoo my hair mayyyybe 3 or 4 times a week, depends on what i'm doing and how oily my hair gets). Either way, I shampoo my hair first with my Pureology Hydrate, and then I squeeze out all the excess water, take a scoop of this out of the tub and start rubbing it through my ends first. Usually i'll just leave it on throughout the duration of my shower, so maybe 5-10 minutes or so. Not that long. I still find as soon as I rinse this out, my hair feels AH-MAZING. So soft and tangle free! I do still use my regular conditioner after this too.
Once I get out of the shower I put in my usual products (fast food leave on and bb cream from AG) and I never ever blow dry my hair so I just let it air dry. The next day my hair is so soft and silky and shiny. I just can't stop touching it. It's a little pricey here, about $28, but worth every penny, i've had my tub for about six months. I'm only just starting to get to the bottom of the container now. Definitely will repurchase!

What I think a lot of people don't realize about this product is that you need to lightly shampoo it out. It is WAAAY too rich to use as a regular conditioner.
I have bleached-from-black blond hair and my ends are very sensitive. I have curly frizzy hair that I straighten 2 times a week. On my off days I shower and slather it in my hair for over night. 1. it does stink in my opinion, 2 it does make your hair sticky and hard to get your fingers through when slightly dried, 3 IT WORKS! after i use it my curls are more defined and less frizzy. when i straighten it my ends are more in control and look less crazy, my hair is more supple and smooth and is much more bouncy.
honestly, i would put anything in my hair if it meant that it would look healthier. in my opinion, if it works and does what it says it does, not much else matters.
there are plenty of other cheaper less effective masks out there that smell good if thats what you're looking for. This mask is worth the price and effort for the quality of results it gives.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have repurchase this about 3 times I absolutely love it For reference I have thick curly hair and I use this twice or three times a week it does not weight my hair down..it leaves my hair super soft and very manageable! I specially use this after I color my hair and it seems not to look as damaged.

More reviews by chachamusicgirl
First of all this mask works best in conjunction with the Bumble & Bumble Seaweed Shampoo. That combo produces soft, silky, tangle free hair every single time. Second of all, this product smells like an old lady's dirty stockings that have been left out in the sun too long. Bleh. It is slightly better in scent than the Redken All Soft which smelled like hot sweaty butt crack in my opinion. Other than that, this mask is like first class cocaine for your hair. It leaves it buttery and silky like Haagen Daaz ice cream. This is great for dry hair and works a thousand times better than the All Soft which will leave your hair tore the hell up like Wendy Williams's face.
Too heavy for fine hair.
Do the job, the hair are pretty hydrated after a treatment, but be ready for EXTRA flat hair even if not apply near the roots.

Fergie Teaches David Guetta Swag 101
Hip-hop has a language all its own. For David Guetta, the French DJ behind the Kelly Rowland-assisted hit "When Love Takes Over," deciphering the genre's slang has become as tedious a job as mastering a record.
"I'm not familiar enough to use a lot of American slang," Guetta reveals, laughing at himself. "Sometimes I ask [about the words], especially hanging out with all those hip-hop guys. They're always using terms that I didn't know."
Case in point: the Black Eyed Peas. When Guetta went into the studio several months ago to record material for the group's latest album, The E.N.D., he was also taught a lesson in hip-hop vernacular. "Last time I asked [about slang] was with 'swagger,'" he says. "I was working on a remix to 'Boom Boom Pow' and Fergie used this word. I'm like, 'What's that mean?' and [the Peas] were laughing."
David Guetta will release his fourth album, One Love, on August 25, featuring the new single "Sexy Bitch" with Akon.

Hurricane Sandy changes college application deadlines
College application deadlines for early decision and early action have been extended for colleges and universities across the country, including University of Michigan, Harvard, Duke, Northwestern and Stanford. Michigan State University uses a rolling admission process and is not affected.
Wow Writing Workshop of Royal Oak, which works with college-bound students through workshops and a self-guided online tutorial for college application essay writing, offers the following advice for students who want to take advantage of the extended deadlines:
Make sure you are eligible for the extended deadline; some schools only extend the deadline for students affected by Sandy. If you have not started your essays, you still have time; you can always apply regular admission.
Wow will shorten turnaround time for essay review through this week from two business days to 24 hours to accommodate students affected by the storm.

Sharelli Cigar Ring 2 2
Great Looking Ring; Runs Small I ordered this ring in chocolate in size 8 on sale. It fits my size 6 1/2 ring finger perfectly. It is so tight on my size 7 index finger, I didn't try to push it all the way on. The ring is an unusual bronzy-brown color and has a subtle sparkle as pictured. Great Italian designed dress ring. Will treat it tenderly because of the vermeil-like finish. September 10, 2014
Ring I ordered up a size like the website said to do but the size 8 wasn't even a size 7 so had to send back. Ring was beautiful and well made so disappointed w/ the size. August 24, 2014

Are recurring boils and carbuncles indicative of a return of my cancer?
- Q: I had papillary cancer, and I had to get a complete thyroidectomy. I have recurring carbuncles and boils. I get them in my groin and buttocks, but mostly my armpits, and they are always positive with MRSA. I have no insurance and get treated for them in the ER. I get them approximately 2 to 3 times a month. Could it be because my cancer came back? I'm a very concerned single parent who does not qualify for welfare because I make $35 a month over the cutoff for medical state help. I'm so scared. Please advise me!
- A: Boils and carbuncles are painful, pus-filled bumps that grow under the skin when a hair follicle becomes infected with bacteria from the skin (usually staph bacteria or Staphylococcus aureus). These bacteria can also cause a number of serious diseases, and the resistant type (like MRSA) often come from hospitals or food. Generally, boils and carbuncles can be treated locally, but if the immune system is compromised for any reason, a person is more likely to get boils and carbuncles, and they may need antibiotics. You should not try to drain or squeeze a boil or carbuncle. A doctor may drain a large boil or carbuncle by making a small incision in the tip. This relieves pain, speeds recovery, and helps lessen scarring. Other ways to help speed healing are to apply a warm washcloth to the sore, wash the sore a couple of times daily, and cover with a bandage, apply an over-the-counter antibacterial cream, and wash your hands thoroughly before and after treating the sore. Ways to prevent the infection from coming back include washing your hands regularly; cleaning small cuts and scrapes, applying antibacterial cream, and covering them; do not let others use your personal items, such as towels, razors, or athletic equipment. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action.

Recovery efforts are currently underway on the M20, after a lorry came off the road this morning.
One lane of the motorway is currently closed on the coastbound carriageway, between junctions and 8 and 9.
Police and the fire service received the initial call to the incident at around 10am this morning, with the Highways Agency (HA) attending the scene shortly after.
The vehicle's driver escaped without injury, but the recovery has been proving difficult.
A spokesman for the HA said that it is hoped the lane closure will not affect rush hour traffic.

Houston Small Business Summit
Thank you, Commissioner Lehman.
It is an honor to be with so many men and women who have taken a courageous leap in pursuit of the American dream by starting a small business.
The fact that employment in Texas is at an all-time high is a direct result of the energy and talent and resources you pour into growing your small business each and every day.
It is great to see two true friends of small business from this area, Senator Tommy Williams and representative Martha Wong.
I want to thank the sponsors who made this Small Business Summit possible, including Humana, which has not only put together small business insurance packages, but gave generously of their resources to make this event possible.
Thanks go out today to eBay and Unisys as well for helping to defer today's cost.
I also want to thank the Greater Houston Partnership for their commitment to this summit, and the Indo American Chamber of Commerce, which has brought several dozen attendees today.
In addition, there are 26 state agencies in attendance here today, all of whom are participating in today's state procurement fair, which is an opportunity for many of you to bid on state contracts.
I greatly appreciate those agencies for serving as willing partners with the private sector.
While we are here to talk about how to make our small businesses prosper, foremost on our minds right now is the safety and security of the people of Southeast Texas.
Recent rains have brought dangerous flood conditions, and to date the state has activated a number of resources, including 50 large trucks manned by the Texas Army National Guard, 30 Parks and Wildlife rescue boats, seven swift water rescue teams from Texas Task Force One, our search and rescue team and both fixed wing and rotary aircraft.
We want to continue to urge Texans to be cautious and to avoid low-lying flood prone areas recognizing that flood conditions can materialize in a matter of minutes or even seconds.
The reason I proposed holding a series of small business summits around the state, including one here in Houston, is simple: the big job projects may get a lot of media attention, but the fact is, our economy is really powered by the small employers that make up 98 percent of businesses in Texas.
Every small business owner in this state can take pride in the fact that our business climate has been ranked the best in America by several national publications.
And employers across Texas can be proud that they have added more than 580,000 new jobs in less than three years.
The fact of the matter is, Texas prospers only when small business prospers.
And in the future, if Texas is to remain a place where jobs and opportunity are abundant, where the American dream is within reach for every family, and where government priorities are funded by a growing economy instead of a growing tax burden, then one of our greatest goals must be to help small employers succeed today.
I care passionately about helping employers grow and create jobs because I have signed both the back side and the front side of a paycheck.
And I am proud of the steps we have taken in recent years to create an environment in which small businesses are free to flourish.
One of the most important reforms of the last few years that will protect and create jobs, lower healthcare costs for employers, and return injured employees to their jobs sooner is our overhaul of the workers' compensation system.
The goal of our workers compensation system should be to return healthy Texans to work as soon as possible, not see them languish in a system that doesn't heal them and that costs you more money every year.
Part of the reason we worked to lower the cost of workers' compensation is so that employers of all sizes will see it as a wise investment for their business.
We also cracked down on one of the top job killers across America... frivolous lawsuits.
By reforming procedures for asbestos lawsuits, Texas will no longer be the national haven for junk suits that put innocent employers out of business, and that force truly sick Texans to wait in line to have their claim heard in court.
We invested an additional $15 million in workforce training so that more Texans can develop the skills they need to be successful in the workplace, and so that employers can benefit from a larger pool of qualified candidates.
And we set aside $200 million for a new Emerging Technology Fund, and reauthorized the Texas Enterprise Fund with $180 million so that we can continue to attract long-term growth.
Each of these measures is important because they have removed many of the hurdles small businesses face on the road to success, and today my hope is that this summit will help you overcome some of the challenges that remain.
Later this afternoon, you will have the opportunity to meet with local lenders who can help provide the capital you need to finance growth.
You can get help writing or fine-tuning a business plan, find out how to save money with tax credits, and learn how to become certified as a Historically Underutilized Business.
But our goal at this summit is not only to help you plan for future growth, but to provide opportunities for growth today.
That is why, as I mentioned earlier, we have 26 state agencies present that want to create immediate as well as long-term opportunity for Houston-area small businesses by helping you submit bids on numerous state contracts.
I encourage every small business owner here to submit a bid because Texas is ready to do business with the best and brightest in this part of the state.
Whether it is for printing, construction, technical support or a wide variety of other opportunities, these state contracts represent millions of new dollars flowing through the local economy, and the catalyst that can help your business create new jobs and reach a new level of success.
I also want you to know that small business was foremost on our minds as we implemented tax reform last month.
That's why we doubled the size of the small business franchise tax exemption from $150,000 to $300,000 in gross receipts.
Because of this change, a number of additional small businesses will pay nothing in taxes as they get their feet on the ground and grow.
In addition, we cut school property taxes by an average of 33 percent for every homeowner and employer in Texas by next year.
So if your small business has gross receipts of $300,000 or less, or is a sole proprietor or a general partnership owned by natural persons, your business tax liability will be zero and your property tax liability will substantially decline.
Furthermore, those businesses that owe as much as $1,000 under the reformed business tax will not be charged a cent.
And it is worth noting, for all other businesses that pay under this tax, that their tax liability declines every time they hire a new worker, invest in health insurance or fund worker pension plans.
And you can choose whichever deduction works best for you: the cost of payroll, or the cost of goods sold.
In exchange for reform of the business tax, here is what you are getting: not only a sharp reduction in your property tax burden, but a greater investment in public schools, which is training your future workforce.
We raised every teacher's salary by $2,000, and created performance pay incentives of as much as $10,000 to recognize our most dedicated instructors.
And while meeting the court mandate of providing local districts enough discretion to raise additional revenue, we required that any rate hikes above four cents must go to a vote of the people.
The logic is simple: if additional school spending is justified, the people will approve.
And because of new transparency in budgeting provisions, the people will have a better idea of how well education dollars are spent in their community.
I believe if the taxpayers are going to pick up the tab, they ought to be able to look at every item on the receipt!
President Reagan once said: "We in government should learn to look at our country with the eyes of the entrepreneur, seeing possibilities where others see only problems."
The possibilities for prosperity are endless if employers are not over-regulated and over-taxed.
This is especially true for the small business that operates on a small margin.
Small business is vitally important to me, not just because I helped my dad run one, but because they represent the best of Main Street America.
They are the incubator where ideas are tested, refined and perfected so that families can experience opportunity.
Texas must always be a state where a dream can be put to work, where the regulatory environment is not burdensome, or the tax climate prohibitive, and where there is access to capital, talent and workforce training.
That's why we are here: so you can get the help you need to get started, grow and succeed.
I hope that you make the most of the opportunities presented at today's summit, and I ask that you give us your feedback and ideas about how the state can do more to help small businesses succeed.
I thank each of you for coming out today, and for all you do for Texas.
You are giving our people something far greater than jobs and paychecks, and that is the opportunity to provide a better life for the next generation. Thank you, and may God bless you.

I bashed Carlos Gomez all year. That's what the folks that don't bother to actually read what I write think. Those folks, and there are plenty of them out there, think I'm a moron who just likes to hate on players. Those of you out there that take the time to follow the path I lay out understand that when I say something it's not because I'm trying to be different. It's not because I'm trying to be argumentative. It's because I believe the data leads to the conclusion that I present. That's what I did with Carlos Gomez when I spoke about him in 2013. It's what I will do with him as we look forward to 2014 as well.
Gomez is a career .255 hitter. Prior to 2013 he had never hit .265 in a season. He hit .284 in 2013.
Those that dismiss me see those facts, remember me famously saying that "Gomez can't hit," and deduce I was a moron. Am I? Well you know I'm going to say no, but here's why.
Gomez strikes out too much. Period. For his career he owns a 22.8 percent K-rate, a mark he surpassed last season at 24.7 percent. That means Gomez strikes out once every 4.01 at-bats and per 550 at-bats that's 137 Ks. In today's game that isn't a horrible mark, but it's still not good. What really hurts Gomez is that he never takes a walk. Last season was the first time he walked 30 times in a season with 37 walks... in 147 games. Mike Trout walked 29 times over his last 27 games. Add that K-rate to his walk rate and what you get is a 0.25 BB/K ratio. Not only is that substantially below the league average which is always in the 0.40 range, it's just a terrible number that speaks to his lack of plate discipline that Gomez brings to the party. When you have an approach like this it's extremely difficult to be consistent at the plate, hence my continuing concern about his batting average. Check it out and tell me if I'm wrong. Here are his monthly batting average marks.
.360 in April .290 in May .301 in June .256 in July .197 in August .281 in September
He hit .265 over his last 58 games and .248 over his last 72 games. Remember how I said he had never hit .265 in a season before? He's simply not a .284 hitter, a position that is further supported by a career best .344 BABIP in '13 (the mark was under .315 the previous four seasons). It's also highly dubious that Gomez will be able to replicate his 21.3 percent line drive rate given that the mark was under 17 percent the previous three seasons (17.6 percent for his career), another strike in the he's going to repeat his career best matting average mark in 2014.
Gomez can hit a big fly, I never doubted that, but he also posted a career best 16.4 percent HR/F mark in 2013 which is light years beyond his 10.0 percent career mark. He sees a bit of a dip there, even to let's say 14 percent, and repeats that 38 percent fly ball rate he put out there last season and he'll have no chance at his first 25 homer season. He's best thought of as a 20 homer bat.
It might surprise you to learn, maybe it won't, that Gomez has never driven in 75 runs or scored 81 times in a season. "But Ray, that's not fair, he wasn't a full-time player for years.' Fair point. Let's give him 550 at-bats. If he were to maintain his career rates over 550 at-bats he would bat .255 with 15 homers, 60 RBIs and 82 runs scored. Josh Hamilton hit .250 with 21 homers, 79 RBIs and 73 runs scored in 2013. Were you happy with that level of production? Exactly. But that's not quite fair since he does steal bases...
Gomez will have value for his wheels, he's one of only three guys that has stolen 35 bases the past two seasons (Rajai Davis and Everth Cabrera are the others). He's been pretty successful too with 77 steals and just 13 caught stealing the past two seasons. No negative to comment on here.
So what will Gomez be in 2014? I've laid out the case that it would be smart, logical, intelligent if you will, to expect a pull back in the batting average category. It also seems unlikely that he'll improve his homer total. The runs and RBIs are solid, but given his poor approach at the plate it's unlikely he will break through in the RBI or runs scored column. One last note. Compare these two seasons.
.284-24-73-80-40 with 146 Ks. .246-28-78-79-31 with 169 Ks.
The second line was the 2012 effort of a similarly skilled player – B.J. Upton. I'm not saying Gomez will crap out in 2014 like Upton did in 2013, but players with this approach are prone to slumps, and that alone should cause you pause if you're considering making Gomez a foundational block of your 2014 fantasy baseball squad.

Pro column: Sam Reynolds on the Great British winter
Kim Clayden | Blog, Mountain Biking Uk | 30/12/2011 09:14am
So it's back! The great British winter… that time of year that really makes you question why, when there are so many warm and dry indoor hobbies to choose from, you have chosen mountain biking.
Sure, sometimes there's nothing better than sliding through a slippery wet berm but, as a freestyle rider, winter really puts a downer on things. The skate parks are wet and dangerous, the dirt jumps are soft and flooded and everything's cold and miserable!
Over the years, there are ways I have learned to keep riding all through winter. My favourite of course is just travelling abroad to escape the cold, but while it's the easiest solution it isn't the cheapest. A less pricey option is to ride a spot where the dirt is sandy and therefore better in the wet.
Chicksands and Woburn bike parks are perfect examples of winter-friendly riding areas. And if you don't want to get muddy, indoor skate parks are the answer. Adrenaline Alley in Corby is a great one for experts and first-timers alike. No rain, no bike cleaning and maybe you can even pull a backflip into the foampit!

Construction on Las Cruces interchange project near completion
LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Traffic in Las Cruces will soon begin flowing a lot faster as crews finish up construction on the Interstate 25 / Interstate 10 interchange project scheduled for completion by the end of April.
Most of the asphalt work has been finished and because of that the New Mexico Department of Transportation expects lanes and ramps to open over the weekend.
"A lot of the orange barrels are being moved out of the way," said NMDOT Spokesperson Bridget Spedalieri.
It's been nearly a year since crews first broke ground on the $53.8 million project.
Crews rebuilt bridges to make them stronger for heavier trucks and the improvements will also help alleviate congestion during rush hour by having the six lanes of I-10 merge more efficiently onto I-25.
"For people that commute, I think it's going to be a lot better," said Las Cruces resident Ashley Elias.
Elias said traffic was a headache when having to commute from El Paso to attend her morning classes at New Mexico State.
She said the work will ultimately benefit those using the roads.
"I think it's a good project," Elias said. "It just took a while to get completed."
Part of the work included improving safety by redesigning ramps that did not meet Federal Highway Administration standards.
"We have a ramp that we just totally redesigned," Spedalieri said. "It's made to allow the traffic to flow at a better and safer speed."
The ramp connects I-25 southbound to I-10 headed west.
That ramp had a tight turning radius that could potentially cause vehicles to overturn.
"Anywhere you're traveling you want to feel safe," Elias said.
As crews continue their work on striping and other details, Spedalieri said it's possible there could be lane closures leading up to the final completion date of April 23rd.
She urged motorists to drive patiently through the area and follow detours to keep both the workers and motorists safe.

Via Memeorandum. I guess there goes the slam dunk theory that America wanted answers and action and they wanted them now. The torture protesting, 'Bush Lied, People Died' screaming fanatics probably weren't real thrilled by the CNN Poll released.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — A new national poll indicates that most Americans don't want to see an investigation of Bush administration officials who authorized harsh interrogation techniques on suspected terrorists, even though most people think such procedures were forms of torture.
Six in ten people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday believe that some of the procedures, such as water boarding, were a form of torture, with 36 percent disagreeing.
But half the public approves of the Bush administration's decision to use of those techniques during the questioning of suspected terrorists, with 50 percent in approval and 46 percent opposed.
"Roughly one in five Americans believe those techniques were torture but nonetheless approve of the decision to use those procedures against suspected terrorists," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "That goes a long way toward explaining why a majority don't want to see former Bush officials investigated."
Fifty-seven percent of those questioned don't want Congress to investigate Bush officials who authorized those harsh interrogation procedures, with 42 percent calling for action by lawmakers. Fifty-five percent also don't want a similar investigation by an independent panel.
Hot Air adds a little commentary on the results: "One thing I can't figure out, though: The left swears, up and down, that the ticking-bomb scenario conservatives always use when arguing this subject would never, ever, evah happen in real life. That may be true in the most literal sense — time bombs aren't a favored weapon of jihadists — but counterterrorism agents typically wait as long as possible before swooping in to make arrests of suspected terrorists in order to gain as much incriminating evidence as they can."
Power Line says this thing is winding down.
Stop the ACLU: A wake up call to the Leftist. "I'm sure in their view, most Americans hate America, and civil liberties. Reality, however, says Americans understand the harsh truth of reality, and common sense."

Chef's Knife: Dice
Dicing is much like mincing, with a larger end product. To dice a vegetable, such as a bell pepper, begin by cutting off the ends. Stand the pepper up on its now-flat bottom and slice through its center from top to bottom, creating two halves. Remove the core and seeds, and carefully slice off any white parts. Push each pepper half against the cutting board with curled fingertips, keeping it as flat as possible, and cut the pepper first in 1/4-inch slices (for a small dice). Keeping the slices together, turn them 90 degrees and again, make cuts that are 1/4 inch apart along the slices, creating cubes. For a larger dice, make 1/2-inch cuts instead.

History of Palau
Palau was initially settled over 3,000 years ago, and perhaps 4,500 years ago, probably by migrants from the Philippines. British traders became prominent visitors in the 18th century, followed by expanding Spanish influence in the 19th century. Following its defeat in the Spanish-American War, Spain sold Palau and most of the rest of the Caroline Islands to Germany in 1899. Control passed to Japan in 1914 and during World War II the islands were taken by the United States in 1944, with the costly Battle of Peleliu between September 15 and November 25 with more than 2,000 Americans and 10,000 Japanese killed. The islands passed formally to the United States under United Nations auspices in 1947 as part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.
Four of the Trust Territory districts formed a single federated Micronesian state in 1979, but the districts of Palau and the Marshall Islands declined to participate. Palau, the westernmost cluster of the Caroline Islands, instead opted for independent status in 1978, approved a new constitution and became the Republic of Palau in 1981, and signed a Compact of Free Association with the United States in 1982. After eight referendums and an amendment to the Palauan constitution, the Compact was ratified in 1993 and went into effect on October 1, 1994, marking Palau independent de jure (after Palau was independent de facto since May 25, 1994, when the trusteeship cancelled).
Legislation making Palau an "offshore" financial center was passed by the Senate in 1998. In 2001, Palau passed its first bank regulation and anti-money laundering laws.[citation needed]
Carbon dating of cave burials show a pygmy population, presumably the result of insular dwarfism, from at least 3,000, and perhaps as long as 4,500 years ago until about 900 years ago (1000–2500 BCE until ca. 1100 CE).[1]
The Palauan language is an outlier among the Austronesian languages, and so does not shed much light on the origins of the modern population. However, there are some indications that it may derive from the Sunda Islands (modern Indonesia).
For thousands of years, Palauans have had a well established matrilineal society, believed to have descended from Javanese precedents.[citation needed] Traditionally land, money, and titles passed through the female line. Only High Ranking Women (Queens) hand picked the High Chiefs. Clan lands continue to be passed through titled women and first daughters[2] but there is also a modern patrilineal sentiment introduced by imperial Japan. The Japanese government attempted to confiscate and redistribute tribal land into personal ownership during World War II, and there has been little attempt to restore the old order. Legal entanglements continue amongst the various clans.
European contact[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2013)
Historians take note of the early navigational routes of European explorers in the Pacific. There is disagreement as to whether Spaniard Ruy López de Villalobos, who landed in several Caroline Islands, spotted the Palau archipelago in 1543. No conclusive evidence exists, but some believe he could have seen the tip of a southernmost island in the group.
Palau had limited relations before the 18th century, mainly with Yap and Java. Had it not been for shipwrecked islanders who took refuge in the Philippines, Europeans likely would not have found Palau until much later. Englishman Henry Wilson, captain of the East India Company's packet Antelope, was shipwrecked off the island of Ulong in 1783. The High Chief of (Koror) Palau allowed Captain Wilson to take his son, Prince Lee Boo, to England, where he arrived in 1784. However, the prince died soon after of smallpox. The East India Company erected a monument over his grave in St Mary's Churchyard, Rotherhithe. It was Wilson who gave the archipelago the name "Pelew Islands".
Spanish rule[edit]
In the late 19th century, possession of the islands was claimed by Britain, Spain, and Imperial Germany. In 1885, the matter was brought to Pope Leo XIII for a decision. The Pope recognized the Spanish claim, but granted economic concessions to Britain and Germany. Palau then became part of the Spanish East Indies, along with the Mariana Islands, the Marshall Islands. and the rest of the Caroline Islands. They were all administered from the Philippines.
Under the Spanish administration, Palau underwent its first forms of extreme foreign influence. Catholicism is the most highlighted amongst all these forms, having been introduced to the native population and accepted rather easily, despite the fact that Palauans were ardent followers of their traditional faith. Elements from the Spanish language were also integrated into the Palauan lexicon; the Palauan word for hammer, "martiliong", is derived from the Spanish "martillo". Even with these forms of influence, Palau has predominantly very little influence from the Spanish occupation compared to other islands within the region, such as Guam. This is partly due to the reason that, aside from Spanish Jesuit missionaries, Spain had very little economic and colonization activity on the islands.
After being defeated in 1898 in the Spanish-American War and losing possession of the Philippine Islands, Spain sold the Palau archipelago to Imperial Germany in the 1899 German-Spanish Treaty.[3][4]
German era[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2013)
Palau was administered from German New Guinea, and a period of economic development began. German engineers began exploiting the islands' deposits of bauxite and phosphate, and a rich harvest in copra was made.
Although the German occupation had lasted a mere 15 years, major changes in Palauan society had occurred. Many traditional practices among the natives had been outlawed by German administrators, specifically the acts of tattooing and mengol. Tattooing had been a practice reserved for members of higher castes, and the Spanish had tried on numerous occasions to banish the practice. Unlike the Spanish, the Germans had a major foothold on the local traditional government, given the economic benefits many clan heads were gaining. The art of tattooing was banished completely by the late 19th century, and the last tattooed native died in the early 1960s.
The practice of mengol is one very unique to the islands, and one that was greatly discouraged by all foreign administrations. In mengol young unmarried women from one village are sent to male clubhouses in another or other villages, whether enemy or ally, as a sign of peace or friendship. The actions of these mengol ranged from simple companionship of the men of the clubhouse, much like the Japanese geisha, to sexual favors. However, the mengol were not prostitutes, as even the unmarried daughters of clan heads could be sent off as mengol.
Japanese mandate[edit]
Under the terms of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, the Empire of Japan declared war on the German Empire in 1914 and invaded German overseas territories in the Pacific Ocean. Palau was seized by ships of the Japanese navy. After the war, the League of Nations awarded Palau to Japan as a Class C League of Nations Mandate.[5]
Japan incorporated the islands as an integral part of its empire, establishing the Nanyo-cho government with Koror Island as the capital.[6] From 1914 to 1922, the Japanese Imperial Navy had been in control. Civilian control was introduced from 1922, and Palau was one of six administrative districts within the Mandate. Japan mounted an aggressive economic development program and promoted large scale immigration by Japanese, Okinawans and Koreans. Native Palauans soon became a small minority in their own homeland. The Japanese continued the German mining activities, and also established bonito (skipjack tuna) canning and copra processing plants in Palau. Japanese economic activity was so extensive during their occupation, that the industrial capital, Koror, was once termed by Japanese officials and tourists as "chiisai Tokyo", meaning "little Tokyo."
The Japanese had perhaps the most profound impact on Palauan society. Under the Japanese government, Palau underwent extreme social, economic, and political changes. Unlike other parts of the Japanese Empire, the local Japanese administration recognized the benefits of utilizing the traditional government to their advantage, given the extreme adherence the natives followed towards their clans and traditions. Under the Japanese government, heads of the Palauan traditional government were replaced by more "Japanese" natives, as a way of securing the obedience of the Palauan people. This proved rather successful, as more and more Palauans so the benefits the Japanese government was providing. Under the Japanese administration, all Palauan children were required to attend school, and by the 1930s, nearly all Palauan children were literate in Japanese, with the exception of children in outlier islands, specifically the Southwest Islands.
World War II[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2013)
The Japanese presence made Palau a major target for the Allied forces in World War II. Peleliu was a scene of intense fighting between American and Japanese forces in 1944. The battle ended in an Allied victory, but at a high cost for both sides. All surviving Japanese were repatriated after the end of the war. There are still about 100 American servicemen listed as Missing In Action in Palau. Starting in 1993, a small group of American volunteers called The BentProp Project has searched the waters and jungles of Palau for information that could lead to the identification and recovery of these remains.
Post-war development[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2013)
In 1947, the United Nations decided the United States would administer Palau as part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. In 1979, Palauans voted against joining the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and the Marianas (except Guam) because of language and cultural differences. A long period of transition occurred between 1979 and 1994, specifically in the capital, Koror, on the topic of relations with the United States. During this period, Palau underwent its first form of civil unrest since the last inter-village war in 1879. This civil unrest had escalated into extreme violence, resulting in numerous bombings of homes of powerful politicians, intellectuals, influential locals, and the death of two presidents. At one point,[when?] the civil struggle had resulted to the point of anarchy, and the King of the Southern Federation of Palau, the Ibedul,[who?] assumed responsibility over governing the Palauan islands which thereby established a temporary state of absolute monarchy.[citation needed] After a long period of transition, including the violent deaths of two presidents (Haruo Remeliik in 1985 and Lazarus Salii in 1988), Palau voted in 1994 to freely associate with the United States while retaining independence under the Compact of Free Association.

As you are probably are aware of at this point, the powers that be in the United States Government have become embroiled in a disagreement that has resulted in many factions of the federal government being closed until further notice. While the shutdown will obviously be temporary, there are some affected areas in the interim and certain destinations and attractions which are no longer open to the public. Besides the symbolism of the government's Twitter account being shutdown, there is perhaps no other greater symbolic closing than the Statue of Liberty being blocked. In addition to the Statue of Liberty being closed, Ellis Island and the George Gustav Heye Center of the National Museum of the American Indian are also shutdown.

I did this for my bf a few months ago and we both loved it, esp the caramelized onions & garlic...which gave the dish its main flavor. i didn't use artichokes but I did substitute it with parsley and oregano. I also used a lemon pepper roasted chicken that I bought from the grocery store and it still turned out great. I've been dying to make this again and have been looking for this recipe for months! I am so glad i found it.

I couldn't find fresh basil at the grocery store and use about 1/3 as much dried basil, which I cooked with the chicken to give the flavor time to infuse into the chicken. I garnished the mix with fresh parsley instead and it still tasted good. Tried this recipe twice, and my wife loved it. The first time I could only find artichoke heart in jars and pickled in vinegar. The second time, I used Whole Food's artichoke hearts canned in water. We both variations. Not sured what fresh basil would do until we planned our shopping better and get fresh parsley at Whole Foods. Either way, it's an excellent light dish for sumer weather.

BIM software for HVAC and plumbing design
CostOS BIM
CostOS BIM Estimating makes full use of all the benefits you can get by using the 3D model of your project (building, civil, oil & gas, energy, aerospace, shipyard etc). Its embedded 3D viewer allows you to navigate easily through it and autoselect entities.
The quantity takeoff of your project (Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, HVAC, Electrical etc) can be massively accelerated and the accuracy you can achieve is unprecedented.
Create your Bill of Quantities directly on your 3D model and see how it is built up while your estimate progresses. Use both your local/server cost database and the online commercial databases (Means, Richardson, Spons, NODOC) to find cost data that match the selected entities and directly assign this data to your model.
The Cost Data is not just line items or percentages. The Data you assign includes all the resources (material, equipment, labor, subcontractor and consumables), resource rates and productivities required. Eventually you can amend all these to fit your own way of working and you can create and synchronize your resource loaded schedule with your estimate.
CostOS works with open standards and thus it supports all major designing systems. You do not have to buy any of these systems, unless you want to make the designers work, as CostOS will provide you with the visualization of the model.

Experiential Learning and Degree Works:
Working Together to Help Create Experiences for a Lifetime
The Experiential Learning graduation requirement at Purdue University Calumet is an important aspect of a students' plan of study, and is now conveniently linked to the Degree Works application. This requirement consists of two courses and is listed under the major block within a student audit in Degree Works. Also within each major block, students and advisors are able to view degree requirements based on the current academic year. As shown in the gray block in example one below, valuable information such as credit required, credits applied, and grade point averages are also listed with this major block.
As outlined in the examples below, the Experiential Learning course requirements are listed below the major block section of the student audit. In example one, this student's audit shows that the required Experiential Learning courses are still needed. As this student completes the Experiential Learning course requirements, the completed courses will appear in his audit, as shown in example two. When both Experiential Learning course requirements have been met, the radio button next to the Experiential Learning courses will be checked as complete.
The addition of the Experiential Learning course requirements to the Degree Works audit is a valuable component that allows both students and advisors alike to review the fulfillment status of this real-world requisite.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.
