Before we even begin discussing salons and locticians watch this and understand it fully
the person in the video above stopped going to salons stopped retwisting and has had a significant improvement, its taken nearly a year, and hes not fully recovered yet. recovery from salon disasters can take a very long time. heres his progress today
. so, lets start with
what to avoid
1. first and most important question to ask is what products (wax's gels etc, weve even heard of glues and latex) are used, if they tell you they use waxes gels dread perms or anything at all say no thanks and hang up.
2. maintanance recomendations, if they recomend any of the following..walk away.. using elastic bands for weeks or months.. using wax gels or any products except soap or maybe sea salt sprays if they recommend scheduling several more touch up/retightening visits (a true sign of the salon dread scam, which involveds doing an intentionaly bad job then schedulling months and months of repeat business which can cost you over $1000) and lastly if they tell you to refrain from washing your dreadlocks for long periods of time..some salons go as far as to recomend no water touch your hair for 6 months to a year...if they say that..laugh before you run
3. do they specialize in synthetic dreads and concider "natural dreads" to be any dreads that arent plastic? if so your best off to avoid them, they are in the bussiness of making temporary dreads to wear to a party but not to keep for life
second thing to concider is the methods they use these have been covered pretty well in other threads so i'll just give a short summery of common options and include some advanhtages and drawbacks backcombing this is a fairly common method used by people who do theyre own dreads at home, it doesnt require the skill of a professional loctition and can be done by yourself or with the help of a freind, advantage is it gets dreadlike clumps of hair knotted together in 1 day typicaly so kick starts progress, disadvantages they tend to stick straight out like sideshow bob a few days, and the agressive backwards combing can be pretty dammaging twist n rip another methiod thats popular but many have trouble figuring out how to do it right, so a experienced locker can be a help..if your totaly unable to do it yourself.. advantages, the dreads look neater thyen backcombed from the start the dammage is far less and they dont generaly stick out weird.. its quick and easy once you figure out the technique crochetting this methods highly debated on the plus side it creates very neat tight dreads right away that can look mature faster, but the tradeoff is they require constant retouching with crochet to maintain an even look and its done by shoving a metal hook through the dread weakening the dread over time twisting and variations generaly used on african type hair with great results, its so simple you could do it yourself without even thinking, they tend to add gells and crap that should be avoided, and recommend retwisting too often many require 1 twisting only some may need a couple retwists the 1st few weeks but once they hold shape theres no reason to retwist.. there have been stories of dreadlocks over twisted (obsessivly maybe) that were twisted right off
what to look for
1. your best bet is a small time operation that does dreads more of as a favor secondary to theyre normal jobs. but still you should interview themn and be really sure they are going to only do what you want them to
2. price, unless your hairs very long and crazy getting dreads done shouldnt cost more then rent for the month (far less in fact) if your able, its best to negotiate a fair price per hour..with a cap so you dont get surprised..if you have less then a foot of hair and they quote 500-700 dollars ..leave you can always pay a freing 50-70 to help you with the parts you cant do yourself
3. if theyre "salon" is theyre living room chances are better you got a good one as long as all the above check out ok, however, if they do work in a salon setting make sure they listen to what you want them to do..instead of just telling you what they want to do to you.
4. if anything they say doesnt sound right.. research it here before committing
finaly i'll sumerize by saying that in most cases your better off avoiding salon dreads as 90% make a total mess of things and i cant believe im suggesting this route for anyone, but, if you must have a professional look from the start and have alot of money and do your research it is possible to find that 1 in a hundred loctition that does a decent job and will give satisfactory results (i would not ever go only on the recomendation of others without doing this research too)
if your willing and able i highly recomend going natural. or if not doing them yourself with the help of friends and leave the salon dreads as an option only if all others wont work for you.
1 last concideration.. its unfortunate but when you tell others how you started yours you may face the fashion dread salon dread label discrimination factor (hmm that sentence sounded weird) this might be acceptable to you if considerations of professional image outweigh it..
in a city the size of philly with possibly hundreds of loctitions i can only think of 1 i would refer people to..but i dont know every one here, there maybe as many as 3-5 out of a few hundred or so
whatever you do, if they are unwilling to do what you want them to do..or if they try telling you it wont work without products or certain techniques dont let them tough you they dont know what theyre talking about.
Very important update!
A few days ago someone joined who had spent $3000 on her dreads the salons (2 different salons) did everything wrong you can do wrong and she showed up here with a total disaster (but saveable we hope) You can read the story here
But if $3000 wasn't enough of a disaster, after 1 day here, and 1 attempt at wax removal (with the rinse being a brown sludge that came out of her dreads) a severe skin condition that started the day she started her dreads started to clear up! And guess what, she had multiple surgeries multiple courses of antibiotics and a grand pricetag for her salon dreads over $10,000 You can read her further recovery here

You Can dread your own hair naturally for free!
Many salons, especially those that specialize in African textured hair or ethnic hair all too often cause a medical condition called traction alopecia.
They do this on purpose and call it "neat" "tidy" or "fresh". Some salons will stop forcing it before it progresses too far, but most will allow it to progress to severe levels. Some locticians will even continue the practices long after baldings become severe.
It can cost up to $20,000 to cause the damage, and if it progresses too far another $15,000 for a hair transplant.
Read more about the causes and cures of Traction alopecia here
Are you ready to dread yourself for free?
remember the easiest way to dread is always ..forget you even have hair..it will dread on its own do it yourself dreading methods do it yourself dreadlock maintenance
im with Chels, too.
i work in a salon mostly because it's safer than at home or their homes. it's also a nice way to help stamp out the myths and prejudices because people are naturally interested in things they don't understand and in the right circumtances this curiousity will outweigh any feelings of defense or anger.
"When any prevailing prejudice is attacked, the wise will consider, and leave the narrow-minded to rail with thoughtless vehemence at innovation.
"MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT, A Vindication of the Rights of Women
I do caution against clockwise root crochet "root flipping" (as well as twisting) and will indead create stress/tensions breaks at the root and ramdomly throughout. I primarily use a crochet hook to pull in strays to enhance strength, managability, flexibility and general "tightness". this is something anybody can do at home, but does take some time, practice, and skill to accomplish without having a "stitched" look.
Knowledge is power: Your hair is made of protiens and is the same stuff as your skin and nails, like any organic substance it is subject to molecular wear and breakdown. Shampoos were designed to clean dirt off the hair add necessary proteins back into the hair that life and environmental stressors have damaged. Like-wise conditioners are intended to improve the texture or condition of the hair, generally reintroducing the moisture that has been stripped out or environmentally wicked off keeping the hair flexible and not brittle.
Be careful to look for all-natural products and avoid the gimicks - truth is most products designed for "dreadlocks" and hair in general don't help, are too drying (stripping the hair of its natural oils), and/or were designed to make money off the wanna-be's. Avoid over moisturizing the hair as i can cause heaviness(greasy), build-up, or cause the locks to loosen (generally a concern for less curly and caucasian hair types)
i have been locking my hair since 1999, and have heard every mean comment anyone can think of. I have been harrassed by all ethnicities and individual ignorancies. I have been turned down for a number of jobs i have been highly qualified for based soley on my appearance, and have been let go from others sometimes because a higher up had predjudice. I have also had many people ask me questions and leave more informed an more accepting.
Furtermore , No employer can limit your religion but they do have the right to be selective about the people they chose to pay/support as you hold this right as well. Do NOT be a victim of own circumstances, have integrity and self-respect. Your life, your choices, how you react in a situation is your own responsibility. It is never too late to improve and you are never too old to learn. Life happens, be grateful for it! There are many paths to chose, but no respect in self-victimization or predjudice.
"I happen to think that the singular evil of our time is prejudice. It is from this evil that all other evils grow and multiply. In almost everything I've written there is a thread of this: a man's seemingly palpable need to dislike someone other than himself."
ROD SERLING, Los Angeles Times, 1967
This forum is intended to help fellow humans, yes? Avoid becoming a locked elitist, it's deplorable and self-degrading.
live simply, so that others may simply live :)
chuels its refreshing to see a salon/loctician warning against goingto locvticians
ive seen so much damage from retwisting hair loss balding dreads broken.. same from crochet interlocking and ..eww waxing so many salon disasters
funny thing being some of the more well known ones do the worse jobs
and those who avoid salons and loctiacians all together have amazing dreads
In answer to Soaring Eagle;
depending on what is desired by the wearer and what works best for the hair texture. Our goal is to start dreads so that they will grow naturally into strong healthy dreads. We rely on lots of elbow grease in starting dreads. In general, we use a refined backcombing technique to form dreads. Some are comb twist, and others are wraps. We DON'T do dread perms, or crochet that damages the structure. We encourage non-reliance on wax, but we respect our clients choice in that matter. We educate our clients on how to take proper care of them so they are not dependent on us at all. I even do a little hand holding for some during the early rough stages when the dreads are forming. We do maintenance with the same respect to strengthen, but not disrupt the natural formation of the loc.
In answer to Matthew:
Thanks, man. I began doing hair as an Aveda trained styilist in 1992 and let my hair dread in 2001. Natural hair and products is what I've been about from the get go. I appreciate that you are not lumping us in with the "salons that do dreads" because we are more like a group of misfit artists who happen to be licensed hairstylists with a love for dreads and taking care of people.

Matching RLS Treatment to Your Symptoms
This content is selected and managed by the Healthgrades editorial staff and is brought to you by an advertising sponsor.
When it comes to treating restless legs syndrome (RLS), there's no one-size-fits-all prescription. You may need to try several medications to find the one that offers relief from your symptoms.
Different medications used to treat RLS target different aspects of the disorder. For instance, some may work better at helping you fall asleep at night, while others help manage pain. Since your doctor will determine the best treatment for you based largely on your specific symptoms, it's important to be clear about the symptoms you experience as well as any changes that develop with time.
Here's a look at which medications work best for treating different symptoms of RLS.
If you experience:
Talk with your doctor about:
Uncontrollable leg twitching or jerking movements when trying to sleep. These are symptoms of periodic limb movement of sleep (PLMS), a condition that affects about 80 percent of people with RLS.
Dopaminergic agents such as pramipexole (Mirapex) and ropinirole (Requip). These drugs increase levels of dopamine in the brain and help reduce symptoms of moderate-to-severe RLS, as well as PLMS.
Difficulty sleeping because of mild or sporadic RLS symptoms
Sedative-hypnotics, a type of drug typically used to treat anxiety, muscle spasms, and insomnia. These medications may help people with RLS sleep better at night.
Opioids, which are prescription pain medications. They can decrease pain and help people with severe RLS relax.
Uncomfortable sensations in the legs such as creeping or crawling
Anticonvulsant medications used to treat people with epilepsy, as well as the newly approved medication Horizant. These drugs may relieve the disturbing feelings in your legs.

No one was injured, but a family was displaced in the blaze.
HUNTINGTON BEACH – Fire damaged a home on Alabama Street early Monday morning, leaving a family displaced.
No one was injured in the blaze on the second floor of a single-family home in the 900 block of Alabama Street, said Battalion Chief Jeff Lopez. Firefighters arrived at the scene at 12:50 a.m. to find flames coming out of two windows at the rear of the home, threatening a partially attached home next door.
In all, 40 firefighters responded, and the fire was contained to the home where it began. Damage was mostly in one room, with the rest of the house sustaining water and smoke damage. Officials estimated the damage to be worth $10,000 to contents and $75,000 to property. The American Red Cross responded to find temporary housing for the residents, a family of three. Firefighters also rescued the family's pet bird, which appeared to be uninjured, Lopez said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Facebook, a social networking website, is well known across the globe. It is used, not only to connect a person with his or her friends, but also with business counterparts. One can easily expand his or her business beyond the geographic boundaries with the help of this website. Today, business has not remained confined only to some particular area or region. Internet has helped in expanding business network. Facebook also plays a vital role in this field.
If reports are to be believed then the team Face book has been working on making changes in the Friends page. This means that now there will be separate friends' pages for outstanding and the recent friends request. Both pages will be more or less similar with slight difference in the functionality.
(Source: http://www.allfacebook.com/facebook-testing-new-friends-page-2010-10)
The new feature will enable the user of the most recent conversation with a friend as well as the friends most recently added by going to the editing the friends page. The newly introduced page will allow the user to see the pending friend's request, so that you know, how many friends' requests are still outstanding. Though it is not a very huge up gradation but it would definitely be a useful one. Being able to see who you interacted with most recently will be liked by the users.
Facebook is soon launching a live stream plugin for all its application, which includes the new as well as the old applications. The Live Stream Plugin allows visitors or application on your site to share the activity and comment in real time. It is most beneficial while live streaming video for concerts, webcasts, speeches, webinars, live web chats or multiplayer games, basically it is helps in running a real time efficiently.
This new plugin allows the post to be seen by the other people in real-time while viewing the Live Stream. "We're adding the option for users to not share their comments on Facebook. We also now support multiple Live Streams on one website by specifying a via URL, which will link status updates to their respective pages". Said Namita Gupta, product manager for Platform, in her blog.
Looks like face book is on a launch spree after launching gaming application, facebook has yet again launched a new feature- the Facebook page browser.
"If we could create a fun way to browse movies, TV shows and musicians, it would help people more easily express shared interests and keep updated about those interests," source Facebook blog."
This new feature will enable people with varied interests to browse and get the desired results on one page. The browser will show the popular pages and the iconic figures in the resident country of the user. It lets you search for the pages of your interest like movies, fashion, politics; favorite shows etc. Facebook has kept the design of the new browser very handy, so that the users do not have any problems using it, if you want to receive the updates in your news feed all you need to do is to roll over the page and click it. You can hide the updates in case you do not need them.
Facebook outage made the site inaccessible for many a user for almost 2.5 hours again. Many a users were curious to know what went wrong. Face book's Software Engineer Director Robert Johnson labels it as the "the worst outage we've had in over four years."
He further gave the technical details behind the problem that occurred. Apparently this outage was different from the one caused by the third party network provider for some users on Wednesday. This recent downtime was caused by "an unfortunate handling of an error condition". An automated system for verifying configuration ended up in damaging the system rather than fixing it.
We all know the power of youtube.com; YouTube.com is in one of the top 100 websites as per Alexa ranking. In this social media boom YouTube is in top famous websites like facebook & twitter. Here you can submit videos in just a minute's time; if your video has viral potential then it can derive lots of views. Old Spice Guy is a perfect example of a viral video channel –millions of views in just few days time.
For better or worse, Facebook has changed the lives of its users, ever since it was launched in February 2004. Isn't it hard to believe that Facebook's membership was initially limited to Harvard students alone? Obviously, rules changed over the years. According to the Facebook Pressroom, there are over 400 million active users today and 50% of the active users log on to Facebook everyday.
Let's face it, who doesn't have a Facebook account these days, I'd say everyone from the age group of 13 to 50 have an account or on their way of having one. I mean it's just an easy way to connect to people anywhere in the world with just a click of a button and going by the numbers of people joining Facebook everyday and as per the rumors in the European market Facebook is on its way of becoming another Google with a search engine service to be launched soon. When things become popular they also become easy prey for people to make use of it the wrong way and that is when people are using it for SPAMMING. It is also believed they if you get 5-10 friends request they are SPAMS which is actually not true. As we have studied hard on it and have done some research on our own. We have come to a conclusion that we can easily check before adding strangers to our friends list and grow our network of well wishers instead of adding random people.
We should avoid people who……
- Use Facebook just to send their tweets & spam links only.
- Don't add profile pic or add any celebrity pic.
- Have lots of friends in list but no communication.
Check below image which can give you more brief on a spammer & non spammer Facebook user.
- No communication
- No comment or like on status messages.
- All links are from twitter & SU only
- 15 status updates in one day.
Non Spammers
- Friends showing interest by writing comments & likes.
- Share good links (Pic, videos etc.) & status updates only.
- Few status updates in a day.
- People like commenting on their status.
Avoid spammers & share your views for the same if we missed something.
As we know facebook fan page helps in branding. You have created a facebook fans page & people started coming to your page. It is very important for us to track from where people are coming to our page. With current facebook page features we can only track Active fans, Total Fans, Top Countries etc.
Another great Social media infographic/chart on Facebook Statistics for 2010, containing details like total users, global reach, mobile usage etc.

"This soup was delish! I would definitely make it again. I made it for the first time and put pictures of it on Facebook and everybody was asking for the recipe. I cut the sandwiches into little squares and put them on top so they looked like croutons and sliced the apples I had leftover into little strips for extra garnish. It looked awesome! This"

After 25 years in Lake Forest — where she raised four children — Carla Westcott opened Market House restaurant in 2012 in one of her favorite parts of town. The following year, she opened another high-end establishment nearby, The Fish House (670 Bank; Mhfishhouse.com). Her friendly and welcoming disposition make her the darling of Market Square, but for Westcott, it's the people that make the city feel like home. "It's a very connected place, where people always help each other," she says. Here are a few more of her favorite things.
1. Sweet's
260 E. Deerpath, (847) 295-1111; Sweetschocolates.com
"Sweet's has been our family's favorite place for ice cream for the past 24 years. When each of my children was able to ride their bike down the street, we immediately went right to Sweet's to celebrate. Susan [Dick], the owner, makes everyone feel special. My kids' favorite ice cream is Elephant Tracks, and whenever I give candy as a gift, I always go to Sweet's for their English Toffee."

Yo fuck Steph. He knew Dantoni did not like him from what happend in phoenix. Donnie Walsh offered to buy him out before the season he said no I want all my money. He tried to to be on his Brooklyn bullshit and Walsh a 70 year old white man from brooklyn as well got even more gangsta on him and said oh yeah nigga you aint playin anywhere. Then when all the trades went down and the knicks had 7 healthy players he got offered playing time and he refused to play. Steph is a cancer to any team he is on. Every team he is on gets better after he leaves. He left Minnesota they came within a game of the finals one year. He left NJ they went to 2 consecutive NBA finals. He left Phoenix and they became a perrenial powerhouse. And now that he isnt they are drastically better this year than they were during his whole tenure with the knicks. FUCK STEPH.

(CNN) -- When someone tells you to go jump in a lake, sometimes it's best to take their advice.
For one golfer, it saved him from a world of hurt.
At first, Pablo Larrazabal thought nothing was out of the ordinary when he swatted an insect away from his face at a tournament in Malaysia on Friday.
The next thing he knew, he was being attacked by a swarm of hornets.
"They were three times the size of bees," said the Spaniard. "They were huge and 30 or 40 of them started to attack me big time.
"I didn't know what to do. My caddy told me to run, so I start running like a crazy guy, but the hornets were still there, so the other players told me to jump in the lake.
"I ran to the lake, threw my scorecard down, took off my shoes and jumped in the water.
"It was the scariest moment of my career, for sure. I've never been so scared."
Thankfully, after some treatment, the 30-year-old was able to continue.
Remarkably, he birdied the hole he was on when the attack occurred -- the 14th -- then completed his second round in four-under-par 68, which meant he made the halfway cut of the European Tour event.
"The referees and a doctor took me aside and gave me a couple of injections and told me to relax," Larrazabal said on the European Tour website.
"After the injections I felt a lot better and could continue. Without the help of the referees I couldn't have finished the round, because I was in no state to play golf.
"Tomorrow it will be very, very scary to play that hole. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but hopefully I will play it as quickly as I can."
Larrazabal, ranked 65th in the world, has won one tournament this year -- at January's Abu Dhabi Championship, where he beat major winners Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson by one shot to claim the $2.7 million first prize.
He will go into the weekend at the Malaysian Open tied for 25th place, trailing leader Lee Westwood by 11 shots.
The Englishman, a former world No. 1, followed up his opening 65 with a 66 to be four clear of European Ryder Cup teammate Nicolas Colsaerts.
The Belgian was tied for second with 327th-ranked Antonio Lascuna of the Philippines, who finished 90th in the Kuala Lumpur tournament last year.

4 minutes to build a computer? I can completely strip one down and rebuild it in about that so I should enter!
I was going to say 4 minutes seems a bit too long in my estimates.
Sure I could do it in less.
I watched that video and it seemed to suffer from the same syndrome as Jamie's 30 Minutes Meals - that is, you can claim any ridiculous time span if that's the only time span you measure*. Having everything laid out like that, ready to slot in, with a pre-installed HDD, is hardly building a PC. Impressive in its own context but no relation to the real world whatsoever!
*constant amusement to be had from each episode starting with "get your 30 minute meals head on" which seems to translate to "make sure you've already done all the time consuming preparation, peeling, slicing and chopping everything so all you're actually doing is watch it all get hot now"
They need to try and do it thus; phone in one hand listening to a whingeing parent going on about how nasty you are because you blocked their little Johnny from using the Internet because he kept typing rude words in to Google, and using the other hand to assemble the parts whilst being nagged by a teacher because they need a projector setting up now for an assembly.........
Now that is real skill!
Did anyone spot a Anti-Static Wrist Strap ? Not that I wear one - never have, never will !!
They must have picked the entrants from the streets or even worse, PC World. I built 2 today in 5 minutes - properly, too.

The GRAMMY Awards are only a few days away and the music world has to be on fire. This is the time of year where industry experts recognize the hard work, talent and abilities of musicians and performers.
While I am a music lover, I don't always have the time to pay attention to the GRAMMY buzz. Sometimes I just want the highlights – like on Sports Center. Yet I was curious to see who the nominations are and I learned a few things about the foundation and process.
First, there are seventy-eight categories for the GRAMMYs. Thankfully, television only broadcasts about a dozen. Given how many music genres there are encompassing the world, I can understand having at least twenty-five, but seventy-eight? This opened my eyes to just how big the music business really is and how far it reaches beyond the five stations I have on my radio presets. Some of the lesser-known categories include Best Long Form Music Video, Best Surround Sound Album, Best Historical Album, and Best Instrumental Composition. All of these are important, of course, but a revelation to me that these categories even existed.
Second, the first GRAMMY Awards were held in 1959 for music released in 1958. There were only twenty-six categories, then. Some of the winners included the following:
Best Album – Henry Mancini for music from Peter Gunn
Best Recording for Children – Ross Bagdasarian Sr. (a.k.a. David Seville) for The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)
Best Vocal Performance; Male – Perry Como for "Catch a Falling Star"
Best Country & Western Performance – The Kingston Trio for "Tom Dooley"
Best Jazz Performance; Group – Count Basie for Basie
Third, music is part of our heritage. It's genderless, timeless and something that appeals to all ages. It's something that is to be saved and preserved for all generations to enjoy past, present and future. Given that this is one of the missions of the GRAMMY Foundation, I'd expect our musical history to be well maintained for years to come. (Especially if you have your music on a Seagate hard drive.) :)
Ok, so I knew that last one already. It's top of mind as we prepare to head down for the upcoming Music Preservation Project's One Night Only: A Celebration Of The Live Music Experience that Seagate is sponsoring. (What? You don't know what this is? Find out more here!)
I'm looking forward to the GRAMMY Awards on Sunday. There will be a number of artists I'm a fan of performing and I'm looking forward to being introduced to some new music. It's a great chance to look at the past as well as look towards the future.
Will you be watching the GRAMMYs this weekend? Comment below on whom you'd pick to win or give us a shout on Twitter.

Logano's late move gets him victory at RichmondThe Associated Press | April 27,2014RICHMOND, Va. Joey Logano punched his ticket to NASCARS playoffs. Marcos Ambrose punched Casey Mears.
Logano used a savvy move to get around three dueling former champions in the final laps Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway, and the classic short-track ending caused tempers to flare in a big way in the garage afterward.
The biggest skirmish had Marcos Ambrose, who finished 18th, confronting Casey Mears, who was 19th. Mears first pushed Ambrose out of the way, and Ambrose retaliated with a thundering punch in the face that appeared to draw blood.
It was unclear what caused the two to confront each other, but NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said the governing body would review the matter.
Logano, meanwhile, needed 26 races and two trips to Richmond before putting himself in NASCARs playoff last season. There will be no such nail-biting this year, and it took just one Richmond race to make it so.
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver took advantage of the late-race duel to grab the lead and then outran former champions Matt Kenseth, Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski. Loganos second victory essentially assured him a spot in the 10-race Chase for the championship, which he only achieved on his last chance a year ago.
Loganos first career victory on the 0.75-mile oval came when Gordon, Kenseth and Keselowski raced in a triangle jockeying for position, and Logano went underneath all three and held off Gordon for his fifth career Sprint Cup victory.
Im more surprised than anyone else here, Logano said. This is one of my worst tracks. ... What a crazy finish.
It got crazier afterward, with Keselowski vowing to remember how Kenseth blocked him from a chance at winning.
I had a shot at winning the race and felt like he ran me off the track, said Keselowski, who was fifth on the final restart, but had the fastest car on short runs all night. You race to win and he definitely was racing to win, but you hope when somebody races to win that they at least win the race if theyre going to wreck you or run you off the race track.
It was just a mind-boggling move to me, but I made sure I got him back and made sure my teammate could win the race. ... I thought it was uncalled for. ... Just got to put that in the bank and remember it, Keselowski said.
Gordon said Kenseth was just doing what he needed to do to try and hang on.
I think Matt did what he thought he had to do to win, Gordon said. He started making his car real wide. He probably didnt make the guys behind him real happy.
Kenseth had come from nowhere after lurking in the back of the top 10 all race long, suddenly charging through the field and passing Gordon to grab the lead with 38 laps to go. It was his first lead.
I was trying to win the race. I think thats what all five of us were trying to do, Kenseth said.
Logano, meanwhile, looks forward to the next 15 races knowing hes already got a spot in the playoffs.
At this point, we really have nothing to lose, Logano said of the remaining 15 races before the Chase field is set. Its all about going for wins and having fun out there and making sure were ready for when the Chase starts.
Gordon said the three-way battle helped create the opening for Logano.
I was really just trying to battle with those guys to get the best finish that we could, Gordon said. (Logano) was in a great position while we were all sitting there sliding around battling it out. To come home second is still a great finish.
Kyle Busch, never in contention, rose to finish third, followed by Keselowski and Kenseth.
That last restart was intense. ... I just drove by everybody, Busch said.
Gordon, who led 173 laps, and teammate Earnhardt both seemed poised to challenge at the end, but after the final restart, Team Penske teammates Logano and Keselowski became the ones to watch.
Their cars had easily been the fastest on fresh rubber all night, so much so that Gordon said, I just had to let the 2 and the 22 go right by me because they were so fast on fresh tires.
Signs of the wild ending may have come very early.
Clint Bowyer started third and hoped a return to one of his best tracks would allow him to put last September behind him. That was when Bowyers intentional spin late in the last race before the playoffs jumbled the finishing order, and the drivers who made the Chase, leading to a NASCAR investigation.
Instead of a clean run, Bowyer hit rookie pole-sitter Kyle Larson on the opening lap, sending Larson spinning. He also twice pitted under a green flag, right before a caution flag came out, and was battling Danica Patrick for 38th place when a fire in his engine ultimately caused him to park for the night.MORE IN Wire SportsMIAMI Dwyane Wade scored 24 of his 31 points in the first half, Luol Deng finished with 25...

So what was the bigger upset today? The White Sox losing to Arizona, or Norfolk State beating Missouri?
- John Danks is a better hitter than pitcher so far this spring. Another ugly start for Danks, as he allowed 4 runs -- 3 earned -- in 4 innings and also walked 2 guys. The good news was that he also drove in 2 runs with his bat, so maybe we should just move him to left field or DH or something.
- Nice job, bullpen. The good news is that Danks was the only Sox pitcher to surrender any runs on Friday. Brian Bruney, Will Ohman and Eric Stults only allowed 1 hit over the final for frames.
- The offense, it still blows. Another 27 outs and only 4 hits. When the bats are rusty through the first week of spring, that's one thing, but the Sox are two weeks into this now and they just aren't hitting. Hopefully they're saving it all for the regular season, but give us something to be optimistic about.
- Muscles are stiff. Adam Dunn has sat out three games this week with a stiff neck, and now Brent Morel was a late scratch thanks to back stiffness. Throw in Jesse Crain's oblique, and maybe the White Sox should do a bit more stretching.
- The MVP is dead. Brent Lillibridge went 0-for-4 with 3 strikeouts on Friday. There is no hope.

'Where the City Has Come From': CR Restores Mural
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS2/FOX28) -- Re-imagining the past can start with just a few small brush strokes, but end with a giant piece of history.
That is what is happening at in the City Council chambers at City Hall, as art conservator Scott Haskins and his two assistants work for three weeks to peel back layers of paint decades deep from the surface of the second of four murals in the room.
The mural, entitled "Inherited Culture" was painted by Harry Donald Jones in 1936. It depicts men discovering artifacts from ancient Mayan civilizations, learning the modern techniques of agriculture and watching the progress of industry.
The theme of the painting is remarkably close to the focus of Haskins' work.
"We are here today because of the people that have been before us," Haskins said. "So we build on what other people have worked on, so that's what art is and why it touches us."
Just as Haskins and his assistants build upon a work of genius by filling out the canvas with extra paint, they also have to make up for the mistakes made in the mural's 76-year lifespan.
Haskins had circled sections of the mural in chalk; they show the parts of the canvas that have pulled away from one of the many layers of the wall. To fix them, Haskins injects the wall with an adhesive to make sure everything gets reattached.
Once it's set, though, anyone can come enjoy it. Assistant City Manager Sandi Fowler hopes people do just that.
"It's free and open to anyone that wants to come look at it, whether you're attending a meeting or you just want to come see it. That's a pretty neat way to incorporate art into everyday life," Fowler said.
If, for no other reason, to remember the past.
"I mean, this is City Hall. This is kind of the center of government in Cedar Rapids, and I think it's highly appropriate that there be a time capsule from the past that shows people where the city has come from," Haskins said.
The 48-foot long mural is the second of four that the city plans to uncover in the room. Fowler is hoping to uncover a third in the fall of this year, but the city needs to get more grants and funding first. Each mural costs about $125,000 to restore.
A fund has been set up at the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation for interested parties to make donations.

Detailed info on how the service works in the Background if you would to know more in-depth info
To unlock an iPhone you need the NCK which is a unique 15 digit key. Those keys for unlocking are sitting on Apples servers and send to the iPhone via iTunes while the iPhone is connected to the Mac/PC.
Each iPhone has a unique HWID, NORID, CHIPID, (id's embedded in the iPhone hardware/chips and unique to each phone), the NCK is only working with the one iPhone where the above are matching. The NCK does not unlock any other iPhone.
Trying to bruteforce the NCK would take years even on high-end computers (NCK Brute Force – The iPhone Wiki).
Trying to guess the NCK is limited as well, After 5 or so unsuccessful attempts, the iPhone becomes permanently locked to the carrier – unless you're feeling really, really lucky, I wouldn't try it.
Apple has HWID, NORID, CHIPID… of all iPhones sold in countries, where the iPhone has to be sold unlocked. So once a phone of those is connected via iTunes, the apple servers check HWID, NORID, CHIPID and compare it to their database. If the matching iPhone is marked "factory unlocked" the Apple servers send the unique NCK for this iPhone.

Legal Question in Immigration Law in Michigan
my botfriend lives in brazil im now pregnat and going back home to the states can you tell me how to make it possible for him to get his visa, we wanted to get married here but they only do a limited amount of weddings a year here so now we are looking at getting married in the states but would like to before the baby is born
2 Answers from Attorneys
You can get a fianc�e visa. My offices can advise you on the process. Feel free to call me at 408 245 2416.
I would not advise having your boyfriend enter the United States as a visitor at this point, since it would be considered visa fraud.
I suggest you either get married in Brazil & file for his permanent residency through the U.S. Consulate there, or return to the U.S. alone & apply for a Fiance visa.
Good luck!

Female castmembers from Jan Hooks to Rachel Dratch have had a hard time finding big film roles after leaving the show.
When reports began circulating that Saturday Night Live scene-stealer Kristen Wiig will likely leave the show for Hollywood at the end of the current season, hardly anyone was surprised. Wiig, the thrice-Emmy-nominated mastermind behind the Target Lady, narcissist extraordinaire Penelope, and uncanny impressions of everyone from Paula Deen to Bjork, is coming off a banner year. She scored an Oscar nod for co-writing Bridesmaids, and already has six major films in the pipeline for the next two years, opposite A-listers like Robert DeNiro and Ben Stiller. Just last week, she emerged as a frontrunner, along with It Girls Emma Stone and Emily Blunt, for the female lead in the hotly anticipated The Thin Man remake opposite Johnny Depp.
Need more convincing that this is the perfect time for Wiig to leave? New York's Josh Wolk noticed that the most successful SNL vets from the last two decades left the show sometime between their sixth and eight seasons, a "sweet spot" window Wiig is in now. Will Ferrell, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey all left after seven. Amy Poehler and Phil Hartman put in eight. David Spade and Tina Fey departed after six (on-camera) years. Those who stayed beyond that—Darrell Hammond, Tim Meadows—have struggled. So look out, Hollywood, here comes Wiig, right? To quote my favorite SNL creation of hers, the nerve-addled Judy Grimes, "Just kidding!" Though her Hollywood prospects look promising, a survey of history reveals that success is by no means guaranteed.
Wiig is entering essentially uncharted territory. The Oscar nominee is, understandably, avoiding another television gig and shooting for the (movie) stars. On the surface, this doesn't seem all that unusual: Ferrell, Myers, Carvey, Sandler, after all, have all gone on to hugely lucrative film careers. But they're all men. With the exception of Tina Fey, no former female SNL cast member successfully made the transition to movie star after exiting Studio 8H. But the grosses for Fey's two major post-SNL films, Baby Mama and Date Night, were nowhere near the stratospheric hauls of Ferrell's or Sandler's or Myers' flicks. Plus, Fey more typically associated with her TV work on 30 Rock than with her film roles. The same is true for Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Molly Shannon. In fact, a survey of the post-Saturday Night Live resumes of the show's most talented female alumni reveals that almost all of them struggled to achieve a respectable film career, many struggled to find regular work at all, and those who managed to get steady jobs found them most consistently on television. Wiig's road to movie stardom is rockier than it may seem.
Here is a sampling of some of the films that starred an SNL female alum after they left the show. Cheri Oteri's big splash was opposite Jessica Simpson in 2008's Major Movie Star. Molly Shannon's big star vehicle, Year of the Dog, only made $1.5 million. If not for Coneheads, which is itself based on a SNL sketch, Laraine Newman's big credits would be "Casting Director" in a film called I'm Losing You and "Russian Translator on TV (uncredited)" in The Sum of All Fears. (Though, to her credit, Newman's enjoyed much success, as has Amy Poehler, doing animated voice over work.) Maya Rudolph has been fairly successful; she was a linchpin in the Bridesmaids phenomenon. But Away We Go was both a box office and critical disappointment, and her turn in Grown Ups amounted to rolling her eyes at fart jokes. Co-starring on NBC's underrated darling Up All Night, however, finally earned her the raves that were expected from the talented star—but it took returning to TV for her really to shine.

I am not sure if I am alone in this or not but here goes a rant. It is not that I don't understand the good intentions of others but I am defensive right now. I would not say offended but just weary and defensive. I am so tired of people meeting Joseph or just observing him and saying something along the lines of "he looks so normal and is so sweet!"
I just want people to know a few things. I am considering carrying around his massive file of reports and just say "here, would you like to read these?" Am I looking for sympathy? Probably. I suppose this is not very honorable of me. But I am human. I am a mom. I am a mom who deals with a special needs child and this is what I want you to know.
Special needs of the mind, illnesses of the mind and injuries of the mind have a higher rate than those with physical conditions and often have few physical conditions. Joseph would not be in special needs programs at school if he did not have learning disorders. He would not be in a school for special needs children if he did not meet the criteria. He would not have specialists in different fields saying the same things. I happen to be a mother who did NOT want a negative diagnosis. I went to different doctors and different types of doctors trying to get a different diagnosis. I have sat in the chair opposite the specialists who have studied him to hear the words, "I'm sorry but this is a very complex situation". NO! I do NOT want to hear this. I, too, "see" no physical handicaps. This frustrates me more than comforts me. There is something broken I can't see and can't fix.
No one sees, lives, hears, and feels the violence that we do. He slapped me on the back this weekend so hard it knocked the breath out of me and brought tears to my eyes. And this was a playful moment. He also pushed me into the counter this weekend saying he hated me. I have holes in the wall in every room of my house. Every door has a keyed lock on it...the hall closet, the wash room, bedrooms, storage room. Anything that can be used as a weapon or could hurt him has to be locked up....knives, bats, jump ropes, tape, belts, sheets, tools, cleaners, alcohol, medications, etc. However, there could never be enough protection as there are lamps, electrical cords, chairs, pillows, windows, sticks, rocks. So he has to be watched 24/7 when he is home so that he does not hurt himself, someone else or our property.
He has set fires, urinated in floor vents and holes in the wall, run a mile down the road in the snow barefoot, run into traffic, ran out of a courthouse in a city, has night terrors when he does sleep which is seldom, vomits for no reason, has strange food likes and dislikes, can't stand his nails or hair to be cut, has to swim with a shirt on so no one sees him "naked" but will walk through the house with nothing on, sees and talks to things that are not there, suffers an anxiety disorder, gets motion sickness, migraine headaches, irrational thinking, memory loss and distortion, and so much more. He does not feel severe pain but falls apart over the smallest pain.
One of his diagnosis is autism. It is a social disorder. He can not handle social situations. He shuts down. He will not look you in the eye. Because of this, and his finger twisting and flicking, his loss of words, and his nervousness you may see him as shy. He is but it is much more than that. This shyness is seen as sweetness. He is but..... And what you may not know is that this "shyness" and inability to communicate well, with a speech impediment, with social problems, and with anxiety issues (he will be scared you will laugh at him or not like what he says) what he is going through as he talks to you is very painful for him. So when we leave your company his stress kicks in and we are the ones he takes it out on. Oh, and he is medicated so his symptoms are not as severe.
He has severe sensory issues so it is always a guess as to what is going on at every moment. Is he too hot or cold? Is it too loud or too quiet? Is the room too large or too small? Is this shirt the right material, color or size? Are the lights too bright or is it too dark? Is the wind blowing? Is there a smell bothering him? Is there someone in the room that scares him? Is that chair too hard or too soft? Oh, and he is medicated so these symptoms are also not as severe.
They say to find his triggers so as to avoid the meltdowns. What do we do when everything is a trigger? What's a meltdown you may ask? It depends on the day and what set him off. He may run. He may scream. He may cry. He may hit. He may throw something. He may say something very offensive. He may start drooling. He may spit. He may break something. He may kick something. He may fall on the floor and pitch an all out tantrum which is not easy to deal with when it is a 10 year old 93 pound boy. Oh, and yes, this is ON medication.
I have heard some kind things from friends and family. I know that this is just a venting rant today. I know that I have prayers and support. But there have been several people who have told me that it is "doctors" (said with almost a hatred) that have told us there is "something wrong". Why did we want him "labeled"? And "what do doctors know? They are crazy?" Maybe it is just his diet?" "Maybe he will outgrow it?" Or "I don't know.....I have children that misbehave...." My all time favorite was "There is nothing wrong with Joseph. He just needs LOVE!"
So please, if you hear that someone has a child with autism, bi-polar, schizophrenia, brain injury, or other mental illness keep these things in mind. When you see a child "misbehaving" in a public place give the parents the benefit of doubt and think that maybe they have a disabled child. Their handicap may be unseen but it is still there.

We're three+ weeks out from the beginning of Zombiehandapalooza, and I can now definitively say that I am absolutely tired of this nonsense. Sure, sure, if it was a simple break, I'd still be a cast (probably poking pencils down in there to try to scratch it, because that's the sort of difficult patient I tend to be), but my understanding of this whole bionic being-screwed-back-together thing was that I would be FINE in record time. And while it's true that I can type again (hallelujah!), it's also true that 1) my left hand still has a chronic case of The Stupid and 2) it huuuuuuuuurts.
That said, today I am prepared to add "and physical therapy will hasten your recovery" to the list of Dirty Lies Surgeons Tell You.
Listen, my physical therapist is a lovely woman. I'm sure she's a good citizen and kind to kittens and all of that. But she's trying to kill me and that just seems wrong, especially because it's just my HAND, it's not like I'm recovering from a spinal injury or anything. In fact, the entire ROOM I am now spending several hours in each week is the Hand And Arm Clinic, dedicated specifically to torturing those of us with compromised digits, probably because our hands are too weak to slap her.

When God Weeps: Why Our Sufferings Matter to the Almighty
Publisher's Description
When suffering touches our lives, questions like these suddenly demand an answer. From our perspective, suffering doesn't make sense, especially when we believe in a loving and just God.
After more than thirty years in a wheelchair, Joni Eareckson Tada's intimate experience with suffering gives her a special understanding of God's intentions for us in our pain. In When God Weeps, she and lifelong friend Steven Estes probe beyond glib answers that fail us in our time of deepest need. Instead, with firmness and compassion, they reveal a God big enough to understand our suffering, wise enough to allow it---and powerful enough to use it for a greater good than we can ever imagine.
