I've been testing a few natural conditioners that work well with a no-poo hair regimen, co-washing, and specifically the Curly Girl Method. One thing that I did learn during this process is that the ingredients that make a conditioner different from a moisturizing lotion is that conditioners contain fatty alcohols, quaternary ammonium salts, and hydrolyzed vegetable proteins. All of these ingredients are chemically derived one way or another. I honestly feel more comfortable with fatty alcohols and hydrolyzed vegetable proteins than quaternary ammonium salts, but honestly am not 100% loving any of them. I also read an interesting article that you can read here about the mislabeling of natural products specifically conditioners.
"Fatty alcohols are oleochemicals derived from vegetable feedstocks (which) include coconut and palm kernel oils. These refined vegetable oils are first converted to a methyl ester or fatty acid. This reaction generates crude glycerine. The intermediate methyl ester or fatty acid are then fractionated and hydrogenated to produce fatty alcohol. Alcohols are often distilled and fractionated to achieve the chain length distribution." ~P&G Chemicals
A few examples of fatty alcohols as listed in conditioner ingredients are coconut fatty acid base (a mislabeled term), cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, and cetearyl alcohol. Fatty alcohols add detangling properties to conditioners and also some create foaming properties to the product.
For those who love science here is a medical journal titled "The Differential Toxicity of Ammonium Salts". From the research that I have done, it seems as if certain quaternary ammonium salts are toxic while others are not considered toxic at all. Two ammonium salt ingredients to avoid are PEG's and benzalkonium chloride. A few examples of quaternary ammonium salts that are used in conditioners are behentrimonium chloride, behentrimonium methosulfate, stearalkonium chloride, and cetrimonium chloride. These ingredients act as mild preservatives as well as add serious detangling and conditioning to the hair.
Hydrolyzed vegetable proteins are common in so many conditioners. A few that I see a lot are wheat protein, soy protein, and rice protein. When I looked them up in the Cosmetic Database, wheat protein and soy protein were rated a "0" in toxicity while rice protein was rated a "2". I am not as concerned with hydrolyzed vegetable proteins in conditioners yet they are still chemically derived.
So after all of this ingredient talk you are probably wondering which conditioners that I tested and liked. I will admit it has been somewhat frustrating finding a conditioner that would abide by my specific requirements and serve as a multi-use conditioner. You may also want to know that I specifically have been searching for conditioners that did not contain phenoxyethanol which is a preservative that can also contribute to skin irritations. I usually have itchy skin when I use products with certain chemicals or preservatives.
Ingredients: purified water with *tea tree, *peppermint oil, *eucalyptus oil, *nettle oil, *thyme oil, birch leaf oil, *chamomile oil, *clary, *coltsfoot leaf, *yarrow oil, *mallow, *horsetail oil, *soybean protein, cetyl alcohol, tocopherol vitamin e, trace minerals, citric acid, sodium hydroxymethylgycinate, grapefruit seed.
*organic ingredients
I've used the Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner before. It definitely gives the scalp a tingling sensation yet not too much. I really like this product as a co-wash conditioner, yet not as a leave-in simply because my skin does not like all of the ingredients. Also sodium hydroxymethylgycinate is a preservative that can also be a skin irritant with possible formaldehyde contamination. I'm not happy with this ingredient, yet this is a very affordable co-wash conditioner.
Ingredients: Deionized Water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)*, Argan Oil, Coconut Oil*, Behentrimonium Chloride, Essential Oil Blend, Vegetable Glycerin, Emulsifying Wax, Sea Kelp Extract, Panthenol (Vitamin B‐5), Avocado Oil, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower (and) Lonicera Japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) Flower extract, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil.
All in all I found the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioner to be very very moisturizing, easy to detangle my hair with, a wonderful leave-in, and smells like sweet honeysuckle. This conditioner does not give hair hold yet defined my curls. It made my hair extremely soft. I co-wash my hair every 2-3 days. To refresh frizzy third day hair I simply add flax seed gel to dry hair in sections and my hair looks like day one all over again.
Ingredients: Deionized water, vegetable glycerine, rice bran oil, avocado oil, wheatgerm protein, panthenol, amino acids, vegetable emulsifying wax, essential oils of neroli, cinnamon & coconut.
One of my concerns with leaving this conditioner in my hair was that it contained wheatgerm protein. I have experienced hard dry hair with conditioners that had proteins in them. I wasn't sure how this conditioner would work out. To my surprise Earthly Delight Hair Conditioner was amazing for detangling my curly hair, left my hair extremely soft as a leave-in, and also turned out to be a fantastic deep conditioner. For defined curls, I suggest using this conditioner with flaxseed gel or another natural gel.
In terms of ingredients I am extremely content with this conditioner. It also has a spicy herbal smell which I love. I have not experienced any build-up with this conditioner, yet there is always my DIY Green Tea Cleansing Hair Rinse to use as needed.
I plan to try maybe one or two more conditioners if I can find what I am looking for. To be honest I will probably end up going back to making my own conditioner again. It will also be better in terms of not having to purchase one more thing in a plastic container that is not in bulk. Also I do have a few new ideas since I have done more research so I'm up to the challenge.

Just an FYI, I was loving Earthly Delight conditioner for a while but the ingredients have now changed! I was in Whole Foods planning to buy a bottle when I saw the new label, flipped it over and saw the new list…color me disappointed!
I like Aubrey Organics conditioners, especially Honeysuckle Rose.
Love your blog!
Hi, I have a question for you about using oils in hair. I recently started fully going no-poo. Before, I was using a hair rinse as a conditioner but with shampoo because I couldn't find a proper natural shampoo because I live outside the USA, and where I live, is practically impossible to find natural beauty brands and bulk ingredients shops, until I found that Weleda is sold in my country and I bought their calendula soap to use as a shampoo and their sweet almond oil to use as a conditioner. The soap is incredibly drying for me, so I just can't use the rinse to condition my hair as I used to do when I was using shampoo, but the oil will never absorb, it's very thick and heavy and I have no problem with that, I actually like that it flats and smooths my wavy hair, but the greasy shine and feel is something I can't tolerate. I don't know how to do to make it absorb and I don't want to manipulate my hair too much or I'm sure I'll damage it. I have a very short bob, so it's a little hard for me to apply it evenly, I have to apply it in parts, but that way it always end up being too much. I tried mixing the oil with the foam that I make with the soap but it still remains greasy, and if I shampoo again, it will be dry again.
Can you give me some tips to use oils properly? Should I switch to argan oil (that I can get here but it's way more expensive)?
Hope some help. Thanks.
I love the idea of using Apple Cider Vinegar to replace shampoo, altogether! Thank you! I have been using the "organix" brand which I do like; but I will have to recheck the ingredients against your very comprehensive list…. ! Thank you! I have begun to use Surya Henna and so am looking for a more gentle regime than I currently have in order to keep the colour bight… This helps… thank you!
Thank you for doing all the hard work! Have you ever tried Giovanni products? I use the deep moisture line but I am looking for something that is more moisturizing. I have sisterlocks so I never use leave-ins, but I need something for deep conditioning for my locks and my daughter's TWA.
Thanks for posting this article! I have the same feelings as you about avoiding phenoxyethanol. I hope this doesn't put a damper on things but I use Shea moisture sometimes as a creamy moisturizer under my flax seed gel but read about the Japanese honeysuckle extract which is in all SM products and in some 100% pure products. I believe it was bubble and bee that wrote the article but they say the extract is constructed the same as parabens so it can be a endocrine disruptor. I am still up in the air if I'm going to stop using the SM condish because it is a natural ingredient and blueberries contain natural parabens. I've started experimenting with Cara B and himalaya's amla and holy basil condish which earned certification from the natural product association. I can't wait for your product line to come out. I really like a thick hair lotion moisturizing product under my flax gel for awesome definition. Thanks again for this article!
Thank you for finding that article on Japanese honeysuckle extract. It is very interesting. I feel a little more comfortable with using the SM Products because the extract "natural parabens" or not is composed of the para benzoic acid that's found in other plants and food in nature but I think I will just eventually phase out of using anything with the extract since its questionable. SM condish and the baby argan oil lotion which I use in my hair as a moisturizer under my fsg works really well. Thanks again!!
I am currently experimenting with Shea Moisture Curl and Hibiskus style milk after my rhassoul wash. It is ok so far, but one ingredient is bothering me…
Sometimes I skip it and go " naked", so to speak… the rhassoul, especially mixed with a little honey left my hair very moisturized, but only one some days… on other days it is tangle city…. I am still on my quest for the perfect conditioner..
Thank you Dawn, I read the post on coconut milk and plan to try it on my next wash day. I do have a question about when to use it though. Should I use it after my shampoo in place of my regular conditioner, rinse it out then apply the aloe vera juice?
This may be a little off topic but I didn't see any other articles on summer hair care on your blog. As the humidity has risen my hair has become more unmanageable. I cowash with Suave and deep condition with Triple Nutrition. I use your DIY serum and leave in conditioner recipes and liked the results very much in the winter. Do you tweak your routine during high humidity days? Thanks for addressing this if you can!
Thank you Dawn for this article! I was faithfully using Aubrey's Honeysuckle Rose conditioner. This was my all time favorite until I started to notice my daughter would sneeze every time I use it. She was allergic to something in the conditioner! I started researching the ingredients and the conditioning ingredient just wasn't sitting well with me. So now I use Just Naturals conditioner for natural hair and my DIY conditioner to co-wash. It includes an ayurvedic herb tea pack, honey, a couple of nourishing oils,& xanthan for slip! I am so pleased with the health of my hair! I will give Earth Delight a try since it seems to cost less than Just Naturals (which by the way has some delicious ingredients!).
Thanks again for this post!
Hi Dawn, thanks for responding
for some reason still unknown my hair does not like Aloe Vera, so I use just rhassoul and honey.
Recently I tried hoeny alone as a conditioner and I was pleasantly surprised. It was quite easy to apply and easy to rinse out and left my hair very soft but with some nice volume and curl definition.
I will definitely check out some conditioners with the ingredients you mentioned and see what will happen.
Hello Dawn my name sydney and I was wondering if you could help me. I'm currently experiencing extreme breakage. I have fine dry porous hair and have a dry sensitive scalp. I tried doing a weekly henna challenge and while it worked for a while it ended up having reverse effects. My hair refused to "accept" deep conditioners and it worrying me. I'm at the point where I want to cut it all off but I thought you might have some advice.
My favorite natural conditioner is Shea Moisture Purification Masque.
Hi DM. Not sure this is the best place to talk about this. But here it is. Why is it that of all the stylers I have experimented with, the one that made my 4a Afro hair the most curly, shiny and soft (I hate hold) is the least natural? Hawaiian Silky Gel Activator (pink one)!
Ingredients are water, glycerin, propylene glycol, terra sodium EDTA, peg 75 lanolin, hidantoin DMDM, polisorbate 20, triethanolamine, hydrolozed vegetable protein, carbomer, various extracts etc.
This product is the bomb in terms of how my hair seems to magically turn into nicely clumped/defined shiny curls.
The other products that i love are more natural but Hawaiin seems to be a bit better. These are Curls Curl Creme Brûlée, 4Naturals Curls Craze lotion, and Hair Rules Curly Whip. All are good but the Hawaii product is the cheapest ($4-$5 for 16 oz) and least natural but yet my curls go from an A to an A+. The 2
Common ingredients in all are water and glycerine.
Have you tried griffin remedy conditioner before? I saw it my natural foods store and the ingredients are very good (no synthetics). I'm wondering if I should try it out, so I thought I'd ask your opinion. Here's a link:http://www.luckyvitamin.com/p-242300-griffin-remedy-restorative-conditioner-with-shea-butter-and-macadamia-nut-oil-8-oz
What ingredient in Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner cleanses the scalp and hair? I'm interested in cowash in, but I don't get how it cleans..
Hi, thanks for this amazing site. Two questions. Can you please put up why the no-no ingredients are important to avoid? I was surprised to see some of the ones that made the list. Also, what brand of Flax Seed Gel do you buy and where? I'm interested to try it. I tried doing henna your way with Coconut milk instead of what I had previously learned and it worked much better though not putting my normal products after has caused me a little trouble. I'm going to try the DIY recipes and see if I can get to my usual results. Excited to try! Thanks again!
Hello Dawn;
I love your blog! You have so much information for those of us interested in a natural lifestyle. May I ask where I can buy Flaxseed Gel? All I can find is other products with Flaxseed gel in them and Flaxseed gel tablets.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
The Shea moisture conditioner is my holy grail. I don't even know how my hair could live without it. I SWEAR by it. When I found it, it was like my life was complete. It's the best conditioner I've ever used in my life.

Plans to construct a mixed use redevelopment on the fire-ravaged Cowgate site in the heart of the Scottish capital have been approved by Edinburgh City Council with only minor items of reserve to be agreed. Edinburgh Developer Whiteburn Projects employed Allan Murray Architects to design the £40 million SoCo development which will revitalise the historic and once bustling area.
The South Bridge/Cowgate site was once home to a host of retail outlets, offices, pubs and venues, and University buildings but the buildings were destroyed by a major blaze in December 2002, which attracted worldwide attention.
John Shepherd, chief executive of Whiteburn, said: "Our vision is to regenerate this blighted area of our beautiful city which has lain derelict since the devastation of fire in 2002. This part of the Cowgate was once a vibrant part of the Old Town, catering for the needs of many, and we are delighted that we can soon begin work redeveloping the area, making it an integral part of Edinburgh's urban offering once again."
Allan Murray, from Allan Murray Architects of Edinburgh said: "The design for this area of the Cowgate was complex and many factors had to be considered. We took on board findings from consultations and the extensive heritage report to produce a design which is a contemporary interpretation of the existing buildings on South Bridge and the Cowgate.
"SoCo will be a collection of buildings in sympathy with the contrasting urban grains of Chambers Street, South Bridge and the Cowgate, complemented by a network of closes and vennels. A series of courts, terraces and entrance spaces at different levels, with different uses, will bring vibrancy to the area. We are encouraged by the positive outcome from the planning committee and we look forward to seeing our proposals brought to life in the very near future."
Subject to the granting of the necessary liquor licences and building permits from the local authority, construction will commence later this year. Due to be completed in 2011, SoCo will provide over 200 construction jobs.

True Freedom Through Chaos
Two characters for this weekend's Black Crusade adventure at Free RPG Day |
Black Crusade | Published 14 June 2011 |
For centuries, the starship Chains of Judgement served the Inquisition of the Imperium, transporting humanity's most dangerous prisoners to their doom. Now, however, the Chains of Judgement is lost in the warp, and the imprisoned renegades have one chance to escape their grim fate. If they succeed, they'll earn the favour of the Ruinous Powers, taking the first steps towards leading a Black Crusade against the Imperium itself...
Don't forget! Free RPG day, an annual event that encourages RPG enthusiasts to demo current and upcoming titles, is this weekend...and you're invited to play Broken Chains, an introductory adventure for Black Crusade! When the dark gods show you an opportunity to escape certain death at the hands of the Imperium, will you have the cunning and strength to seize it?
This free introduction to Black Crusade includes a full adventure, four pre-generated characters, and a set of basic rules to help players and Game Masters become familiar with the Black Crusade roleplaying game. See if your local retailer is participating at the Free RPG Day Retailer Locator.
But what if you have a larger group? Today on our support page, we're pleased to offer two additional pre-generated characters for use in Broken Chains! Download them in preparation of this weekend's exciting adventure.
Broken Chains Bonus Characters (high res pdf, 15.7 MB)
Broken Chains Bonus Characters (low res pdf, 888 KB)
Do you live in the Roseville, Minnesota area?
In honor of Free RPG Day, the Fantasy Flight Games Event Center will be giving away free copies of Broken Chains, and RPG developers Sam Stewart, Ross Watson, Mack Martin, and Andrew Fischer will be in attendance to answer questions and run introductory sessions. Sign up now at the Event Center to play Black Crusade with a 40K RPG designer!
Black Crusade is a roleplaying game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, a setting in the grim darkness of the far future. Players take on the roles of Disciples of the Dark Gods, working against the rule of the galaxy-spanning Imperium of Man and in pursuit of personal glory.
I notice the point is made that both characters are willing to work with others - unless someone gets in their way. A BC party may have to be very careful not to trigger a shooting match between PCs.
Yeah I saw both of those, I expected the one in the lower corner of the character sheet, but not the stat line. I also notice it seems to be a matter of being the Infamy bonus is the one in the bottom corner, but if you reach "Black Crusade" level at 140, is it then possible that this is the only stat that can go above 100? Or does anyone here think there will be a special "gimme-more-cool-goodies-cause-I'm awesome-and-deserve-your-stuff-more-than-you-do" talent that doubles (OR EVEN TRIPLES!!) that bonus?
@Night Lord: Having looked at the adventure booklet (since I'm running it Saturday), I don't want to spoil anything. But yeah, Infamy is on the stat line, if that gives you a clue :P. I'll also give a hint that there is somewhere else on the PC sheet where Infamy is listed ... hmm related?
@redhead222: The basic PCs and adventure are in the Broken Chains demo adventure booklet, which is being played Saturday specifically for Free RPG day. It wouldn't be reasonable to provide those to players before the event, now would it? Don't worry, a week or two afterwards and FFG normally puts the RPG day book up in pdf form online for everyone.
Yeah, I knew it would play out like profit factor and what not.. I just didn't realize it would be a full stat. It made me giddy with wonder at the possibility of putting my hard-earned xp into upping it.
what the point of bonus chars if you don`t give us the basic ones too (and maybe the mission too)
anyway i hear there a free rpg somewhat close too where i live hope the have broken chains there too. its about the only reason i am going too whats it about
DANG - special event and I am 6000 miles away... Roseville, Minnesota area?
In honor of Free RPG Day, the Fantasy Flight Games Event Center will be giving away free copies of Broken Chains, and RPG developers Sam Stewart, Ross Watson, Mack Martin, and Andrew Fischer will be in attendance to answer questions and run introductory sessions. Sign up now at the Event Center to play Black Crusade with a 40K RPG designer!
Come over to the UK Ross Sam Mack Andrew - host an event here.. somewhere - please......
Also, cultist-ch- er, Kastala the Scarred doesn't look like she needs her hand held by the big scary Space Marine.
Infamy is described a few diaries before. It seems to be the equivalent to Influence and Profit Factor, dictating what gear and favours you can bribe, threaten and haggle for (mostly threaten). Though the mechanics appear to have changed somewhat... I'm intrigued...
well either way, you are going to be outshined in a combat situation if an astartes is involved. The humans are there for every situation that might involve less bolter and chainsword and a little more ...idk... finesse?
Hmmm.... bloodthirsty space marine and vengeful psykers on the loose. I think this could become a fine jailbreak!
@SM lack of talent
Well, I would not overrate this little cardboard-figures. Because that is what they are. Remember how "stat-less" the RT freebee pc where and what options where later available in the actual game? I guess this will be the same thing.
...but yes, I guess that the SM will be lacking in skills compared to the "humans". Or in resources/allies or in any other way. Otherwise, it would be "just spacemarine" for everbody but the really-really-really RPG-driven. And even these do not stomach being outshined on every moment. Especially not by an SM ;0)
also, I notice that Enlightened "chaos" space marines happen to have much... much less in way of talents and skills starting off, but I suppose that makes sense, being a way to assist in the balancing act between Astartes and normal humans.
Did anyone notice the new stat that just popped up? Infamy? I hope we'll be able to up that like a normal stat through xp. That would greatly assist me in my future crusade.
i would like to play the cultist, more of a challenge :)

You will have noticed to the right of your screen, I now have the Bloguin Olympic penguin up and a list new posts on the Olympic Hockey Blog. Check out the site for all of your bloggy Olympic Hockey needs, it is ridiculously good and really will only get better.
For your Canucks fix, the player profile written by yours truly is up and can be found here, complete with suggestions on how to reduce the injury potential for delicate Finn.
Previous Olympic Canuck posts:
no commentsFirst up Alexandre Bolduc v. John Scott
Hordichuk and Glass's fight is after the jump...
no commentsWow, the Canucks sucked. Luongo had started the last 17 games straight, maybe 18 was too much? It all started with the weird 1 game road trip in the schedule...
Please enjoy as I recap in pictures, c'mon it will be fuuuun....
no commentsSo last night I was at the game, and I had intentions of coming home an writing a fantastic recap....yeah, not so much, but you get some game thoughts instead.
First of all, 7:30 starts to games blow. I can't remember what I did back in the day when Vancouver games started at 7:30, oh right, I was a student so the half hour difference really didn't matter to me then, but they do now. I still can't figure out why both Nashville games in Vancouver started at 7:30 instead of the regular 7pm start...but they did and it sucked.
Here are my game thoughts
- My section last night was awesome. It was like a Saturday night in GM Place, but on a Monday
- There was a forward line in front of me. Literally. The 5 people who sat in front of me had the following jerseys all in a row: Kesler, H. Sedin, D. Sedin, Wellwood, Burrows. That was awesomesauce. So was the Rypien jersey two rows in front.
- The woman to my right, kept yelling shoot every time any player was skating towards the net. It really didn't matter if they were 10 or 20 feet away, this lady wanted to tell them to shoot. Lady: they can't hear you, and you say it times they really shouldn't shoot
- Drunk guy to my left....you are not fun, no, really, you weren't
- The police took some people out of my section
- Ugly sweater night was a FAIL. No one dressed up
- I have never been to a game where the game was so badly reffed
- The replays of the penalties were not shown for some of the calls in GM Place, or they were shown a minute into the powerplay
- Chanting "refs suck!" probably doesn't help with the refs being on your team's side, I'm pretty sure whoever is on the ice already advises them of their displeasure at a call
- Love the green men, their upside down feet flailing thing may have made my night
- Shea Weber, I may have hated that shot of yours last night...but damn I'll like it at the Olympics
After Burrows accused Stephane Auger of threatening Burr with revenge on him because of an incident from a previous game, Burrows has been fined $2500. Puck Daddy has been told by someone they know in the league that they consider the "matter closed".
It will be interesting to see how this affects the Canucks in the future, and what other refs think of either the team or of Auger. Will Auger get to ref games in the post season? Maybe that will be a better indication of how the league feels about him. Did I enjoy to read/watch what Burrows said? Definitely, I loved how he spoke his mind. Though, perhaps Burrows should have addressed this with the league behind closed doors, I can't imagine that the league is pleased with him at the moment.
You know the Olympics are getting closer, in fact, it's only 1 month away. Do you feel the city starting to get into it?
You see it right as you get off a plane at YVR, you know all those ads in there at the airport.
You read it on the bus. Instead of saying 99 B-line, or Go Canucks Go, they now also say Countdown to Gold
You see it in the parking restrictions. Ah yes, those.
The Coke ads in the Granville skytrain platform has taught me how to say Open Happiness in french, which is 'ouvre du bonheur' fyi.
And how every single business seems to have sold itself off to somehow promo the Olympics.
All this hype in our city will only increase exponentially in the new few weeks....
But really, if you read this blog, you know the Olympics really only come down to one thing: Olympic Hockey.
So, as if I do not have enough to do writing two hockey blogs, I am contributing to the Olympic Hockey Blog. Do check it out for anything Olympic Hockey, if you are only interested in Canuck related things, I've already written a piece about our German blueliner, Christian Ehrhoff and what he brings to Team Germany.
Thoughts on last nights game that I went to against Nashville and the Burrows accusation to follow later today.
no commentsThe Canucks are currently 1st place in the NW Division and look to hold on to that lead with a game against the Flames tonight. It's on HNIC!
Remember what happened last time these two teams played? There was a crazy red line goal, Kipprusoff was pulled and Mason Raymond got a hat trick!
Tonight, Lukowich will be in for Aaron Rome, who is out because of this:
You gotta feel bad for the guy. There WAS a lot of blood. Then you ask yourself: Where were those hits when Pyatt was on our team?
Life goes on, good things come out of bad events, like with Rome out, Lukowich is in! This will be Lukowich's first regular season game as a Canuck. In addition, even though Sami Salo took part in the game day skate, he will not play. Instead 21 year old Evan Oberg will be in for Sami Salo.

This Monday (20th Feb) Marie Claire South Africa's annual Naked Issue goes on sale.
This year 31 celebrities stripped it all off for the Burn Foundation Southern Africa. We felt what it was like to feel vulnerable and exposed for an afternoon – but for the thousands of people in our country who suffer from scars, disfiguration and social stigma as a result of being burnt; those feelings of vulnerability and self-consciousness are an every day reality they cannot "cover up."
The Burn Foundation rehabilitates burn victims, helps to fund their hospital and surgery bills, and tries to educate people about preventing fires – if every home was equipped with a bucket of sand (many South Africans cannot afford proper housing let alone smoke alarms) a huge amount of fires could be controlled and extinguished before significant damage is caused.

Video shows dire conditions at Pierce Co. farm where horses seized
Deputies say the animals were neglected, covered in dirt and kept in filthy conditions in a home simply crawling with clutter.
But the owners' attorney argues they were nothing but loving to their animals.
"My clients love their 39 horses," said attorney Lance Hester. "He gets home from work and he spends the rest of his evening every single day working on behalf of those horses."
The animals were seized Wednesday morning from a farm along Meridian Avenue near Graham. Many were suffering from medical issues. Some were kept lived in the dark, and were never let out of their stables, according to county officials.
But a neighbor, who is also a veterinarian, believes some of what was allegedly happening on the farm can be explained.
"It's not the best, of course, to not have a horse get out and be able to exercise," said Dr. Charles Barth. "Some of these were stallions, and of course, you can't mix the stallions with other horses."
The Pierce County auditor fears it may be tough for the county to care for the animals as a result of budget cuts. Early estimates show food, shelter and medical care for the animals will cost nearly $40,000.
"This is just the cost of doing business, and if we're going to make it illegal to treat animals in a cruel and neglectful manner, then we have to be able to enforce that," said Pierce County Auditor Julie Anderson.
The auditor said she dipped into a contingency fund Wednesday night to cover the initial cost of the horse rescue.
Complicating things is the fact that this is an election year. If any local political race ends with a tiny margin, the auditor's budget -- the same budget that covers the cost of these horses' care -- must pay for any recounts.
Those who wish to make a donation are urged to contact the auditor's office directly.

In the throwaway story line of the night, Jenna was dealing with the repercussions of a Surge commercial she made in 1994. The commercial promised prizes in exchange for Surge points. An Arizona man named Terry had acquired the 1 million points needed to own Jenna. Jack used his negotiating skills to save Jenna from living with a slave master by promising Terry Jenna's cash value equivalent. Unfortunately, Jenna's value had significantly depreciated from $800,000 to only $2,000. Terry took the money anyway, saying that two grand would get him a castle and pillowcase full of meth in Arizona. While Jenna should have been happy that she didn't have to be a slave, she had an actress breakdown because she felt worthless. This struck a chord with Jack, who's also past his prime. But we're going to come full circle here and say there's hope for us all! If Liz Lemon can get married then Jack and Jenna really have nothing to worry about.
The top 10 lines from "Mazel Tov, Dummies!":
++ "This is a win-win. If it's positive, awesome! We're having a baby. I want to name it Frisbee. If it's negative, awesome. We're not going to fight about the name Frisbee, and we get disco fries for breakfast because we're sad." —Criss Chros, about the results of Liz's pregnancy test
++ "You've got to choose the next project for your company, Dammit I'll Pick A Name Later Dot Com, Productions." —Dot Com, talking about Tracy's movie studio
++ "We live together. We love each other. I ignore it when you eat popsicles by biting them with your teeth, which is insane." —Lemon to Criss
++ Jack: "And you can wear that wedding dress that you bought."
Lemon: "No. I can't. I got rid of that after hurricane Irene. I had forgotten to stock up on toilet paper, but I had remembered to stock up on seven-layer dip…"
++ Lemon: "I mean, have you seen Wedding Bitches on Bravo?"
Jack: "I remember when Bravo used to air operas."
++ "I'm going to have to start living like there's a tomorrow. Open an IRA. Brush my teeth. Drink eight glasses a day of that stuff, you know, clear bathtub juice." —Tracy
++ Criss: "Jeez, I feel like we're at a deli."
Lemon: "Deli? Save it for the honeymoon."
++ "It's not the most important day of my life. Getting my show picked up, or meeting you, or the time I got a sleeve of Starbursts with all pink—those were all more important days." —Liz, on days more important than her wedding
++ Liz: "Ergo, it couldn't matter."
Dennis: "Ergo. Affleck's finnaly going to get that Oscar."
++ "You wish, pal!" —a phrase coined by Jack in 1985
++ Bonus moment: Liz's epic slow motion eye roll
Was Lemon's wedding everything you'd hoped it would be? Are you glad she married Criss? What was your favorite line from the episode? Sound off in the comments. Meanwhile, I'll be wishing that I have a special day that includes an entire sleeve of pink Starbursts.

« November 2008 Table of Contents
More companies within the seafood industry need to take the first step toward sustainability. Some are talking about sustainable seafood and how they can make a difference, but moving from thoughts to action is crucial to protecting the future of our seafood supply.
The New England Aquarium was one of the first conservation organizations to partner with individual seafood companies to bring about change. More than eight years of collaboration has shown us that while companies are a hugely powerful force for improving the seafood industry, most of them can't turn on a dime and completely overhaul the way they do business.
But we need more companies to start that journey if the movement is going to advance. Companies need to make commitments to improve the way they do business and begin taking steps toward fulfilling those commitments.
Some companies have made commitments to improve over time and started the journey with one small step forward. Others have pledged to completely overhaul their policies and practices very quickly. For example, Wal-Mart made a commitment to sell only Marine Stewardship Council-certified product for all of its wild-caught items within three years, which has catalyzed significant changes along its supply chain.
The sustainable seafood movement will only advance if more companies take action. This change does not have to happen overnight, but it will never happen if seafood companies don't make a commitment to improve - the first step toward greater seafood sustainability.

Rays' Myers Pretty Much Carrying The Team
Posted By Blake Bass On September 17, 2013 @ 9:16 AM In Florida News,MLB | No Comments
[1]Late Monday, when all the cameras and lights and microphones moved along and he sat quietly at his locker putting on his socks and shoes inside the Rays clubhouse, he was asked if he ever imagined being the star in a pennant race.
He smiled and in his North Carolina accent said, "No. Not really."
Yet here we are, at the most critical juncture of the Rays season, and Myers — the 22-year-old kid who wasn't even supposed to help until a few more miles down the highway — has decided to lift the club up on his back and see if he can't carry it to the postseason.

A number of citizens from Shkodra of different ages and occupations undertook a sailing trip in River Buna and Lake Shkodra.
Rrajca is a protected area located in the district of Librazhd. Rrajca is located in the northern and eastern slope of Shebeniku Mountain and contains glacial lakes, which constitute a natural attraction to visit. These lakes have an average length of 100 meters and an average width of 80 meters. They are located at a height of 2200 meters above sea level. Tourists should follow the paved road Përrenjas - Rrajcë to come to these lakes and then, from the village to Rrajca lakes by walking.
This area is located in the district of Tropoja and includes the area on the northeastern edge of Albania, the highest point of the border between Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro. Gashi River Valley, which flows into Valbona, starts from the Dobërdol glacial areas. The flow of this valley is well known for its natural beauty, with a narrow range of enlargements creating very attractive features. In one of its segments, the valley narrows too much thus taking the form of a narrow canyon. Slopes of the valley are lined with oak forests, especially with coniferous and beech.
The Park is located 25 kilometers to the northeast of Kruja with an area of 2,000 hectares. The water source "Queen Mother" is one of the most attractive spots in the Park with clean, cold and curative water. The Park is frequented by a large number of visitors.
Dajti National Park is situated in the east of the capital and has a surface of 3,300 hectares. It is located in the eastern part of the scope of Tirana, 26 km east of the capital and 50 km from "Mother Teresa" airport. This park is highly frequented by day visitors and is considered "The Natural Balcony of Tirana". Dajti National Park can be reached by car, following the national road, or by a cable car, thus enjoying a spectacular panoramic view.
Dhermiu that follow more in the south of Albania is one of the most frequented and important tourist places of Albanian littoral. The crystal waters of the sea, isolated beaches, water sports and subsurface diving make this beach very prefered by the youth generation. The beaches that are part of Dhermi are Jaliksari, Shkambo and Gjipea.
In south of Vlora's bay there is Orikumi, where lately is build a harbor for yachts. Orikumi's beach is about 2 km long. In this area there are Pana and Rrapi sea caves.
The embouchure of Vjosa, which lies in the south, constitutes a natural protected area in both sides of the river that are called Pish Poro Fier and Vlora. This is a natural area with seaside pines, isolated sandy beaches and a convenient nesting place for seabirds.

Within the case we also get some rails which helps make the instillation of drives a lot easier. As you can see from the picture below, you get more then enough to fill up the case with hard drives and CD-ROMs and even floppy drive.
With the rails installed on the drive, you simply slide the drive straight into the space for your hard drives. Removing and installing drives can literally be completed in seconds!
When it comes to motherboard installation, we did have our doubts - personally I am a great fan of the motherboard tray and Lian Li has done wonders with it for years now. Since the Z-Alien didn't have one to speak of, we didn't expect it to go as smoothly as it did. Thanks to the length of the case, you can really get in the case with ease and move around with freedom. You don't get a true feeling and understanding for how big the case is until you start installing everything.
The overall case installation isn't too bad a task and all things considered, the Z-Alien does an excellent job of making installation a breeze without the use of the motherboard. Top marks for this section.

Officials Crackdown on Rail Crossing Safety
WATERLOO, Iowa (CBS 2/ FOX 28)- State troppers are cracking down on train laws after they've seen a rise in train-related deaths.
Today they had extra officers watching those potential danger zones.
They say that many drivers try to beat the train to avoid being late to work.
"People are trying to beat the train," Senior Trooper Mark Sigwarth said."Those trains have every right to go up and down those tracks."
For one Corridor man, who spoke with CBS 2 News but didn't want to speak on camera, his backyard are train tracks.
He has watched the trains run up and down those tracks from his home.
And he has also seen the tracks become a graveyard.
On Thursday, one man was struck by a train in Independence-those tracks where he died was just down the tracks from the homeowner's backyard.
State troopers have seen 50 crossing collisions. Five of those were fatal and they're hoping to bring those numbers down.
"Trains are nothing to mess with," Sigwarth said. "They don't stop on a dime, they can't swerve and avoid you."
Drivers who violate the train laws and don't stop behind the crossboard will have to pay a fine of $333.00.
Here are the FRA Crossing and Trespass Statistics for Iowa 2013:

Crossing Fatalities-5
Crossing Injuries-25

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Alfalfa!
Facts about Alfalfa
- Breed: Border Collie
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Alfalfa's Info...
I am purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Sweet baby pup in need of some good loving. if you give him a home and love. he will give you more in return ! :)
Other Pets at Humane Society Pet Rescue and Adoption Center
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Alfalfa, a Gadsden Border Collie puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Border Collie for sale in Gadsden, or seeking a Border Collie puppy from a breeder in Gadsden.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gadsden already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gadsden breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Border Collie breeders who help with Border Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gadsden paves the way for another one to be saved.

Leveraging Resources to Maximize Impact
Posted on June 11, 2008 by Ambassador John Danilovich, Chief Executive Officer
Today, MCC welcomed former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to our Washington headquarters to commemorate an important milestone that helps us accomplish our mission to reduce poverty and improve the lives of our friends and partners in Africa. The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with AGRA will allow our organizations to achieve more at a time when food security issues are a top priority in the fight against poverty. Mr. Annan and I agree that implementing long-term, country-based solutions to foster agricultural growth is key to reversing the current food crisis in a sustainable way. By joining forces on this front, we are helping to deepen the commitment to the work already underway in our partner countries, from reforming agricultural sectors to investing in fundamental rural infrastructure. I invite you to learn more about what our local partners and experts agree are closely linked aspects of food security and poverty reduction that demand our attention.
Mr. Annan's cooperation with MCC, and his words of encouragement for MCC's mission, are the latest in a growing chorus of support for the results we are seeing on the ground. President Bush, a bipartisan group of Senators, and groups like the Center for Global Development, InterAction, Freedom House, and the U.S. Global Leadership Council have been sending a clear message of support to Congress over the past few weeks. As CEO of an agency helping to change the conversation about the way the U.S. can help address poverty, I am encouraged to see support from the many champions of those who live on less than $2 a day. We agree with them that poverty isn't political-it's about policy, not politics.
The various memoranda of understanding MCC has signed recently are much more than mere paper or policy declarations. We are seeking ways to leverage the resources of those in the private sector (such as GE and Microsoft), of those with in-depth, on-the-ground knowledge in places like Africa (as is the case with DfID and AGRA), and of those who can help us find a diverse, talented workforce (as with the Phelps-Stokes Fund) in order to achieve our goals. I have asked that each of these memoranda of understanding be available to the public on our website so that you can see how MCC works to augment U.S. taxpayer money with additional initiatives. Only by engaging and working together with groups like these can we prevent duplication, improve the impact of each kilometer of road or irrigation, and help our partners attract long-term growth opportunities. MCC is just one tool in the toolbox to help address global poverty. We can accomplish much more by working together, and I welcome your input to help identify those working relationships that will help us achieve these goals.
Access to Sufficient, Safe, and Affordable Food for the World's Poor
Posted on June 3, 2008 by Ambassador John Danilovich, Chief Executive Officer
The global community is turning considerable attention to the pressing problem of world food prices and food security. While these immediate problems deserve prompt attention, we must work with our friends and partners to identify the long-term solutions that will not only feed people today, but also provide them with the economic tools and infrastructure they need to count on for food security tomorrow.
When MCC sits down to discuss impediments to long-term economic growth with a partner country, investments in the rural and agriculture sectors are usually at the top of our partners list. As a result, many of these countries have asked MCC, through our grants called compacts, to fund infrastructure and agricultural investments needed for long-term, sustainable, market-based solutions. To date, MCC has made significant rural and agriculture-related investment obligations, including projects in fifteen of the sixteen countries where we currently have compacts. All told, MCC has obligated nearly $2.8 billion to strengthen the agricultural and rural economies in eligible countries to ensure increased and sustainable food production and reliable access to sufficient, safe, and affordable food.
MCC investments in food systems are critical to helping the worlds poor provide for their families and communities today and in the future. These investments, moreover, will better position them to face potential future crises with greater capacity and resilience. The development of a more robust and productive agricultural economy in MCC eligible countries is enabling improved access to affordable, safe food for their rural communities as well as for the increasing number of citizens who live in urban areas.

In this section:
- Basics
- Suppressing inspections in the editor
- Suppressing inspections from the Inspection tool window
For some reasons, you may want to partly disable a specific inspection, i.e. ignore some code issues while continuing to detect the other issues with this inspection.
For example, PyCharm considers some code to be "dead", and you can see that it is true. The inspection is helpful and you do not want to disable it. However, you may want to use this code later and do not want it to be highlighted in the editor or appear in the issue reports.
To do so, PyCharm allows you to suppress certain inspections for a specific statement, function/method, tag or file. You can do it either in the editor, using the suggestion list or in the Inspection tool window when analysing inspection results.
Let's summarize the difference between suppressing and disabling code inspections:
When suppressing an inspection, PyCharm inserts a special comment that tells the code analysis engine to ignore the issues found by this inspection in the specific piece of code.
When disabling an inspection, you just turn it off so the code analysis engine just ignores the code issues found by this inspection.
Some code inspections (e.g. those detecting errors) cannot be suppressed.
Suppressing inspections in the editor
- Set the cursor to the highlighted code issue in the editor.
- Press Alt+EnterAlt+EnterAlt+EnterAlt+EnterAlt+EnterAlt+EnterAlt+EnterAlt+Enter, Shift+Alt+J or Ctrl+Shift+MAlt EnterAlt Enter⌘ 1, or click the light bulb icon to expand the suggestion list.
- Depending on the issue, you will see either quick-fixes related to the inspection ot the Inspection "<inspection name>" options item.
Use the up/down arrow keys to select this item and then press the right arrow key
or just click the right arrow
next to this item.
Pressing the left arrow key, or EscapeEscapeEscapeEscapeEscape, Escape or Ctrl+GEscapeEscapeEscapeEscapeEscapeEscape hides the suggestion list.
- In the inspection options list, select the desired suppress action: The inspection will be suppressed with special comments in the corresponding piece of code.
Suppressing inspections from the Inspection tool window
- After running code analysis, select a code issue, for which you want to suppress the inspection, in the Inspection tool window.
- Click on the toolbar of the Inspection tool window, or just right-click the selected inspection.
- Choose the desired suppress action. For example: The inspection will be suppressed with special comments in the corresponding piece of code.

Believe it or not, the highest peak in Colorado is one of the more attainable. There is a nice trail all the way to the top and has nothing even close to technical climbing involved.

Black Leopard (Panthera pardus) | ||
You may want to call these cats black panthers, but there's really no such animal. "Panther" is a generic work used to describe many large cats, especially black ones, but also Florida panthers which are just a subspecies of cougar. We have both black leopards and black jaguars here - they're often born in the same litter as the normal colored cats, because the black color, called melanism, is due to a recessive gene. So, melanistic cubs can be born to two spotted parents. The cats are actually dark brown, with the same pattern of black spots as any other leopard. There are no solid black big cats. | ||

I popped into Anthro on Saturday to bid farewell to one of the darling managers I've come to know quite well over the years. She's gettin' married (yay!) and transferring to another store. Boo! I shall miss her dearly….dropped a little gift off for her that I put together and then sought out some sweet thangs to try on to dull the pain of her leaving. That's how I roll. In so doing, I realized I hadn't told you lately what I'm a-hankerin' for. I share the sentiment of many others that Anthro has missed the mark terribly in the last year. That being said, I've still purchased many an item from them. Anthro will always have some items I love, and no matter how many unflattering tops they pump out, I know I will find special pieces that stand the test of time. The difference is that in previous years, my wishlist is usually THE ENTIRE CATALOG, and now my wishlist holds a few gems that I wait to hit sale. This is new for me, since usually I find beauties there that I simply CANNOT WAIT for. On Saturday, I found myself in the 'CANNOT WAIT' cabana, falling prey to Anthro's accessorizing prowess. When it comes to accessorizing, Anthro should just keep doin' that thing they do….cause they always get 'em so right. So here ya go.
Seduced by this little cincher:
and the other version as well:
and yet even one more belt. I know, I know. I need another belt like I need a hole in my head.
Then I spied this gorgeous piece of frosting for my neck:
I haven't taken any tags off of these yet, so I reserve the right to return one or more if I change my mind. I don't think that's gonna happen though.
In addition, I tried on this navy nicety:
LOVE. Absolutely LOVE it. Had to go up a size from the usual, so keep that in mind. Will have her at sale.
The other items I'm pining for? No surprise, more AG STEVIES in purple and red that I DID mention a few posts back. Getting nervous though…my store is completely sold out of the purple.
Then these little lilac lovers will FOR SURE be mine. Come sale or no sale….
And last, but certainly not least, this orangey/pink delight. She's a bit see-through and the sleeves are quite puffy and might overwhelm those with a more petite frame, therefore I don't think it'll sell out.
Non Anthro items I've purchased lately? Placed an order for this and this from the Gap yesterday. Here's hoping they flatter the rump.
Did a lap around J.Crew and kinda loved the neon bow belt. But wow, it's really NEON. And an email from Loft announcing their new arrivals has me ogling this lime breeze concoction. See, when you call NEON "lime Breeze" I'm more likely to buy it. "Neon" just takes me back to those awkward preteen years full of braces, self-consciousness, and rolled-sleeve t's.
And that's all, folks.
Broke out one of my favorite Anthro purchases ever today: my Stormy Seas Necklace. I only wish I had purchased it in every color while I had the chance!
So what's on your radar at the moment? Any NEON, I mean lime breeze or intensely pink pieces you're coveting? Do tell.
xoxo Molly
