Speaking before a joint session of the Nevada state legislature on February 22, Reid addressed record unemployment, bankruptcies, and foreclosures in a crumbling state economy founded in large part on tourism fueled by gambling and the side businesses like prostitution that thrive along side it.
If we want to attract businesses to Nevada that put people back to work, the time has come for us to outlaw prostitution, the liberal Democratic senator declared, adding that when the rest of the nation thinks about his state, it should think about the worlds newest ideas and newest careers not about its oldest profession.
Reid, who squeaked out a fifth term in a close election last November, focused on job creation, education reform, and renewable energy in his speech to state lawmakers, but also gave a nod to tourism, which he said will always be Nevadas biggest industry but it cant be our only one. When it comes to quality of life in Nevada, Reid intoned, parents dont want their children to look out of a school bus and see a brothel, or live in a state with the wrong kind of red lights.
As reported by the Associated Press (AP), Reid received a smattering of applause when he first suggested Nevada outlaw bordellos, but as he got further into the topic his remarks were met with silence from the representatives of a state whose identity is woven tightly with gambling, alcohol, quick marriages, and prostitution.
In the early 1970s Nevadas notorious Mustang Ranch east of Reno became the states first legal, licensed state establishment dedicated to prostitution. Now brothels operate in outlying areas around the state, paying local jurisdictions assorted fees that can be a significant portion of their budgets, the AP reported. They are outlawed in five counties, however, including those encompassing Las Vegas and Reno.
Following Reids speech, Nevadas other U.S. senator, Republican John Ensign, weighed in on the issue, saying he thought the industry should remain legal in his state, with counties continuing to decide whether or not brothels would be allowed in their jurisdictions. Likewise, Reids fellow Nevada Democrat in Congress, U.S. Representative Shelley Berkley, nixed the Senators proposal, telling the Las Vegas Review Journal, If these counties want to tolerate it, tax it, regulate it, and license it, I dont see it as my job to tell them what to do when it comes to legal prostitution. As Nevadans, we are no strangers to criticism about what goes on in our state, and this issue is no exception.
According to the Wall Street Journal, political observers believed Reids remarks were the first time he had spoken out on the topic. This is a complete shock, said Barbara Brents, a professor at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, who has studied the states prostitution industry and said she had discussed it with Mr. Reid.
Equally shocked was longtime state brothel industry lobbyist George Flint, who was quoted by Politico.com as saying, The mystery in all of this is what in Hades got Harry off on this issue. Ive known him for 42 years. Weve been friendly for 42 years. He has always been a real level-headed individual as it relates to the practicalities of the way we handle the worlds oldest profession in Nevada.
Added Reno brothel owner Lance Gillman, Its really perplexing because Ive known Senator Reid, done business with Senator Reid for years. His choice here is really unusual.
The Wall Street Journal noted that Reid, who is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints (Mormons), maintains conservative Mormon values personally but has long tolerated Nevadas legal sin industries and is a powerful advocate for casino firms.
Indeed, in his autobiography Reid tells of growing up in Searchlight, Nevada, outside Las Vegas, where his mother did laundry for more than a dozen local brothels, and where he learned to swim in the pool of a local establishment.
Some observers suggested that Reids sudden disdain for his states unseemly industry was tied to suggestions that some state lawmakers might try to resurrect a proposal to tax brothels as a way to address the states multi-billion-dollar budget deficit, a move that could lead to an expansion of prostitution to urban areas where it has not existed before. Two years ago, the brothel industry urged a $5 tax on acts of prostitution as the legislature tried to close a budget gap, reported the Journal. Advocates said it would raise around $2 million annually.
Rachel Weiner of the Washington Post suggested several other possible reasons that might explain Reids sudden repulsion for a vice he has tolerated most of his life. In addition to the obvious motivations, including his stated opinion that prostitution is bad for business in Nevada, or that the Senator may be falling in line with his Mormon convictions, Weiner added a pair of political possibilities.
Brothels are powerful in rural areas, and Reid only won one of Nevadas 15 rural counties in the 2010 election, wrote Weiner, quoting brothel owner Dennis Hof, who told a Reno newspaper, It looks like to me that this is his payback, this is our punishment. OK, you dont want to vote for me? Fine. Then I will take away your brothels. I will take away your income. That is what it looks like to me.
Another possibility is that Reid is using the issue as a means of sabotaging his Republican counterpart, Senator Ensign, whose admission last year of marital infidelity has seriously threatened his hopes for reelection in 2012. Noting that Ensign, who is an evangelical Christian, thinks individual counties should decide the fate of legalized prostitution, Weiner observed that the controversy only gives Democrats a chance to remind voters of Ensigns sex scandal as the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee did in an email blast on Thursday afternoon two days after Reids speech.
Regardless of his motivation, political observers noted that Reid chose the wrong side of an issue that is off-limits in Nevada, and he is standing more or less alone on the platform. Reported the New York Times, Even State Senator John Lee, a Democrat from North Las Vegas who is one of the Legislatures most vocal critics of prostitution, said that he was not inclined to introduce a bill banning brothels and that such a bill would have little chance.
Perhaps GOP state Assemblyman Ed Goedharts enthusiastic observation reflects the entrenched acceptance Nevadas citizenry has toward their states legalized reprobate sex trade. According to the Times, Goedhart insisted that brothels speak to the states history of rugged individualism. It shows werent not just another cookie-cutter state. We relish the fact that whenever anyone else is zigging, were zagging. We dont need to have a bureaucratic version of utopia. The last free place in this country is Nevada. We should celebrate that.
Nevada�s Democratic U.S. Senator, Harry Reid, said his state should close its brothels. Nevada currently is the only state where prostitution is legal and licensed, with the state government overseeing the �industry.�

Foods and Daltons
Name: Lisa Status: other Age: 40s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 2001
My dog's vet was telling me that food proteins with low dalton units would be best for my dog to eat at this time. He said there are some companies that make hypoallergenic dog food with "low dalton unit" protein, e.g. 6,000 dalton units. Is there anyway I can learn how many dalton units exist in natural foods, such as, chicken, turkey, beans, tofu, cottage cheese, yogurt, eggs, etc.?
Your vet is trying to impress you with his techno-jargon. Without going into the technical details, for all practical purposes the 'dalton' is the unit used to express molecular. For all practical purposes you can same as the molecular weight. So low dalton proteins = low molecular weight proteins. I hope he is not charging extra for dog food low in daltons!!
A dalton is the "official name" of an atomic weight unit. Without going into the technicalities it is synonomous with "molecular weight". Either your vet doesn't know what it means, or he is trying to do a "snow job" on you with "techno-jargon".
Don't pay any extra for "low dalton" dog food. It just means the protein was digested in a vat to partially break down higher molecular weight protein. This is common in the food industry for a variety of reasons, but it does not improve the nutritional value so far as I know.

Frank R. Bartimo Papers (#701), East Carolina Manuscript Collection, J. Y. Joyner Library, East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina, USA.
Encoded by Apex Data Services
Frank R. Bartimo (b. 1914) resided in the Washington, DC, area and worked in Secretary of State Cordell Hull's office before World War II. Bartimo joined the Navy (July 1944) and trained at the U.S. Naval Training Station in Newport, RI. Bartimo served (August-October, 1945) on the aircraft carrier USS LOS ANGELES (CA-135) but saw no action. He was discharged, and as a civilian was employed by the Army's Judge Advocate section in Heidelberg, Germany (December 1946-February 1947). The collection consists of Bartimo's letters to his wife, Kay, and also contains letters from Bartimo's brother-in-law, Richard Toomey, to his sister, Kay. Toomey joined the Navy and trained at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station (April-September 1942) and served (October 1942-August 1945) on the light cruiser USS CLEVELAND (CL-55).
The collection's early correspondence concerns Toomey's training experiences. Included are sites around Chicago, IL, such as the Marshall Field Museum, the Schlitz Brewery, and exotic architecture (May 31, 1942); the Plant Conservatory and Lincoln Park Zoo (July 13, 1942); and a circus (September 21, 1942). Toomey also mentions a visit by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the secrecy involved (September 21, 1942). Further correspondence mentions the training of Negroes as commandos (August 21, 1942); naval training (August 24, 1942); the high divorce rate among sailors due to infidelity (December 17, 1944); life on board the CLEVELAND (October 7, 1942- August 29, 1945); and the belief that all branches of the military disliked General Douglas MacArthur (September 22, 1945). Throughout Toomey's correspondence, the subjects of censorship and Toomey's low opinion of the Navy are expressed.
The later correspondence details Bartimo's training at the U.S. Naval Training Station in Newport, RI, including fire-fighting and abandoning-ship drills (March 27 and 29, 1945). One piece of correspondence from a friend in Washington, DC, discusses theArmy's Cadillac II program and its importance, as well as the new United Nations charter (June 24, 1945). While in Cuba during Bartimo's brief duty on the LOS ANGELES, he mentions the poor living conditions, prostitution, and the purchase of clothes, cigars, and perfume (September 3-31, 1945).
Post-war correspondence from Heidelberg, Germany, is particularly interesting and throughout the letters Bartimo discusses the poor living conditions; anti-occupation and anti-American feelings; and forms of entertainment such as cocktail parties, clubs, and skiing (December 15, 1946-February 5, 1947). Also detailed are cases of embezzlement by American Army colonels and German civilians, and black market activities (December 20-26, 1946, February 1-2, 1947); alleged rape (January 1, 1947); and a dishonorable discharge for assault (January 15, 1947). Other topics discussed are venereal disease (December 21, 1946); adultery on board ship and in Germany (December 9, 1946, January 2, 1947); a relationship between a young American Negro man and a young German woman (February 1-2, 1947); and problems with a homosexual roommate (February 3, 1947).

August 1 2013, Ward Clayton
A look at some of the top player picks for the Ricoh Women's British Open, the fourth major championship of 2013. The tournament is scheduled to begin Thursday at The Old Course at St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland:
Top 3:
- Inbee Park: No one in golf is under more scrutiny than Park this week as she seeks to win a fourth consecutive major championship, an unprecedented feat in a calendar year for any professional golfer. Playing at such a historic venue as St. Andrews may be to Park's benefit as the course, played by the women for only the second time, shares some of the spotlight. Also, Park has displayed the ability to go low on links golf courses. In finishes of T9, T7 and second the last three years, Park has shot rounds of 64, 66 and 68. At The Old Course in her tournament debut in 2007, Park opened with a 69 and finished T11.
- Stacy Lewis: This is Lewis' Old Course debut but she has played at St. Andrews in competition. At the 2008 Curtis Cup, she led the United States to a victory with a 5-0 record that included a clinching Singles victory. Lewis hasn't won on the LPGA since taking two consecutive events in May. Since then, Inbee Park has dominated as the No. 1 player. However, Lewis has top-seven finishes in three of her last four starts and finished with 64s in each of her last two tournaments. She usually thrives on being an underdog.
- Catriona Matthew: This is a home game for Matthew, one of only two Scots (the other is Carly Booth) in the field this week. Matthew won the title at Royal Lytham in 2009 and has three other top-five finishes in her career. Matthew is coming off a T3 at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic and has played well in the majors this season – T7 at Kraft Nabisco, second at the Wegmans LPGA (playoff loss to Inbee Park) and T15 at the U.S. Women's Open.
- Paula Creamer: Creamer has been hot, shooting no worse than 68 in her last five rounds. She has four career top-10s, including a T7 at The Old Course in 2007, in the Ricoh Women's British Open. So this could be prime spot to break a victory drought that goes back to the 2010 U.S. Women's Open at Oakmont, a historic site. Plus, she turns 27 on Monday, the day after the final round.

September 27, 2007, 3:09 PM
By Tom Junod
"Mr. Gonzales, a few years ago, my brother got into terrible trouble. I told you, he'd do anything for anybody. Well, one night in Dallas, one of his amigos got beaten up real bad by the Dallas police. This was that bad time, they're still getting investigated for it. Well, my brother, he's got soul, but he's not too smart, you know? He's not careful, like me. He went outside, maybe to try to keep the peace, maybe to give somebody a good talking to. Who knows? Like I said: stupid. With all that machismo on top -- it's one thing being stupid, it's another thing being macho and stupid at the same time. And he had a gun. We lived in a bad neighborhood, Mr. Gonzales -- back then, I had a gun too. I'm not proud of it -- I don't have it anymore -- but I did. Anyway, some bad things happened that night. A policeman died, and then another a few hours later. Men with wives and children. My brother's no choirboy either, Mr. Gonzales. But because he had the gun and because he was a Mexican and fit the general --
"What is your brother's name?" Alberto Gonzales asked. He was gripping his rolled-up napkin like a magician hoping it would turn into a dove. It didn't.
"Antonio. Antonio Banderas."
"He is in Huntsville, is that correct?"
"C Block."
Gonzales nodded. His eyes became alert behind the scratch-proof lenses, as if he were getting signals from someone across the room. "Mr. Banderas, I have no legal connection with your brother's case. But I am familiar with it, as a reader of newspapers. I remember it. And I remember it because one of the officers killed was also Mexican-American. He had a large family. There was a picture in the newspaper of his children crying at his funeral. I remember that picture. Do you, Mr. Banderas?"
"Si," Carlos Boundary said. He stood up, because his squat was inappropriate for mourning. He straightened, assuming the grave mien of a French chef. Monica reached for his hand again, as if she were trying to fit her own hand through a tiny bracelet. He shook her off, like a crow shaking off the attentions of a catbird.
"Your brother, he confessed to the crime. To both crimes," Gonzales said.
"But he was beaten," Boundary said. "The police admit this. They admit they were overzealous."
"The courts will decide that. That's what they are for."
"I am not asking you for anything, Mr. Gonzales. I just want you to to know my brother. To know his name. And to know that if the confession was disallowed, there would be no evidence to connect him to these crimes. None at all. My brother is a soft touch, so he tries to be a hard case. But a killer? Twice? Two times? Mr. Gonzales, he taught me how to scramble eggs. He taught me how to make tortillas. He taught me to put a little vinegar in the bowl...." His head hung forward, as if someone had toppled it from behind.
Gonzales sniffled, and the tip of his tongue, a little dry and baloney-colored, rose up again to his teeth. The food in front of him was miraculously gone, as if he'd hired someone to eat it. He reached into the front pocket of his starched shirt and extracted something very small with the instrument of his fingers. His teeth were very white, his shirt was very white. I thought at first it was a stone caught between his fingers, but it wasn't. It was the piece of shot from the quail, and when he dropped it on the tabletop, it bounced, and fell to the floor on the second hop. Monica scurried to pick it up, as though it might be a lost diamond. Boundary stiffened with anger, sagged with shame.
"Did your brother Alberto teach you how to put something like that in the food you serve?" Gonzales asked. Then his face recovered its smile, though no teeth showed, and the smile was wistful, the kind you get when you're driving a car, and pass something funny in the rain. "You need to be more careful, Carlos," he said. "You're lucky I am careful enough for the both of us. You're lucky I always chew before I swallow. You might have had a lawsuit on your hands."
Two weeks later, I called Wampum. I wasn't calling to talk about food, though I had already hungrily proposed a profile of Carlos Boundary to Esquire. I wasn't even calling to talk about the case of Antonio Banderas, though I had become somewhat obsessed with it, after reading an expensive raft of articles about it on Nexis. I was calling about an omission -- about something I hadn't seen or read in any of those articles. You see, as it turned out, Carlos Boundary had always championed his brother's cause. The murders were by now six years old, and when they first happened, Boundary was the first to take the issue of police brutality to the press. Except that he wasn't known as Carlos Boundary then. He was simply Carlos Banderas, and he was working as a dishwasher in a Mexican restaurant on Greenville Avenue in Dallas. He had pretty good luck with the press, because he had something essential -- he had pictures of his brother's broken face, taken at the hospital, and so the newspapers were able to run pictures of him, with the pictures of Antonio's face beside his own. "The black eyes of my brother give black eyes to the entire Dallas Police Department," he was quoted as saying, and he succeeded in getting the circumstances of the confession investigated. In all of the stories that were written about him and his brother and the murders of two cops in one night, however, there was one thing that was never mentioned: his Apache bloodline. Nor his experience as a smoke-jumper. The newspapers never portrayed him as anything other than a dishwasher fighting for his brother's life. They never portrayed him as anything other than a Mexican who lived in South Dallas, at a time when the Dallas Police Department was even more hostile to Mexicans in South Dallas than it was to blacks.
I called Wampum because I had to find out if I had a story or not. Another drunken Indian -- that's a story. I didn't know about another fake Indian. But the phone at Wampum kept ringing, even when I called at lunchtime, even when I called at dinner. At first, there was a tape-recording, telling me to leave my name and number if I wanted to make a reservation. Then after a few days there was nothing but a ring, pealing on and on in the dark. I called Gonzales' office, though not to ask about Wampum -- at the time, I still thought I could get a tour of whatever the fire didn't consume at Waco -- and was surprised to hear Jackie asking me if I enjoyed my meal with her boss. I told her I did, and asked her if her boss enjoyed it as well.
"I think he did," she said, in a voice you don't often hear in a woman -- a whistler's voice; the voice of a female whistler. "Not that he would tell me if he did or he didn't. He doesn't care about food."
"He did okay. There was a lot of it."
"But apparently you've landed in the right place," she said. "I hear you have quite an appetite. And now you're in the catbird seat -- you got a five-course meal out of that restaurant and you don't even have to write a review."
"Excuse me?"
"Well, the last time I went by it was closed."
"What? Esquire was just about to include it...."
"Too bad it didn't make sure its workers had green cards."
"You mean it got closed down?"
"You know what I think? I think that when an awful lot of nice people send their nice young girls to the state university, they might expect them to go a little crazy at football games. But I don't think they expect her to end up with the name of a convicted murderer on her arm."
I called her. I called Monica. I had tipped her big, and I had asked for her number. She had given it to me. I had told myself not to call it, but kept it. It was in my desk. A number and a name, in brownish, purplish ink, the same color as her lipstick. She wrote her name the way a sixth-grader would. She was either really loyal to Carlos Boundary, or she would betray him without a second thought. Either way, he was cooked.
A voice of low, practiced sultriness answered. "Underground Barbecue," it said.
"Monica?" I said.
"Um, who's this?"
"Monica, this is Tom Junod, from Esquire. I--"
"Oh, hi. Hi." She let go of the low charge. Her voice changed back to its prom-queen timbre. "We were wondering what happened to you."
"I was wondering what happened to you. I mean, what the hell is Underground Barbecue?"
"Well, after Wampum was closed down--"
"That's what I was calling about. When did Wampum close down?"
"Right after you ate there. With Gunga Din."
"His name is Alberto Gonzales, Monica."
"Well, Carlos calls him Gunga Din. From some old movie about this guy who betrays the revolution."
"It's my favorite movie."
"Well, it's about this guy, and he's supposed to be like this hero and stuff, but really he betrays his own people. That's what Carlos says."
"Have you ever seen it?"
"I won't watch black and white," she said.
"Monica, can you give me Carlos' phone number?"
"Don't have to. He's staying with me."
"On campus?"
There was an argumentative silence, then Carlos Boundary jumped the line.
"Hey hermano," he said. His voice was tired, cigarettey, as though his throat was coated in tinder.
"Gunga Din betrays his people?" I asked.
"Watch it again," he said. "You Anglos, you get all teary-eyed when he gives that little salute at the end. Well, we brown-skinned people, we get sick. We know all them Smiling Dans. Mexican don't know what it's like to get roughed up, until he gets roughed up by a Mexican cop."
"I thought you were Apache."
"Apache, Mexican, whatever. You know what a chipotle pepper is? It's a jalapeno pepper, smoked. Nothing chipotle about it. Ain't no pure bloodline, in any part of the world where the white man has been."
"What happened to Wampum?"
"You tell me, amigo. I guess your friend Alberto didn't like the food."
"I heard it was because you were fucking the waitresses."
"Shit, man. The busboys were fucking the waitresses. Ain't no point in working in a restaurant if you can't fuck the waitresses."
"Maybe you fucked the wrong one."
"They're all the wrong one. They're all the right one. You work for Esquire. You should know that."
I told him what Jackie had said, about the tattoo on Monica's arm. I told him what she said about Texas girls and the permissible limits of crazy.
"See, that's what I've been saying," he said. "I've been telling my girl here, It's because I'm a sexually threatening brown man. 'Cause that's the deal the brown man has worked out for himself. You can come here and work, Pedro, but you have sit under the apple tree all by yourself until the pickup truck comes by and gives you a ride. You can't look, you can't touch, and if anyone asks, You send three-quarters of your paycheck back home to the family in Chihuahua. That's the deal, all right? The black man, he don't sign the paper, so look what happens to him. The black man don't work by the pool anymore. He don't work anywhere. You think that if it was the black man coming over the border, they wouldn't have shut that shit down already? Two things the white man don't want to part with, white money and white pussy. But the brown man, he willing to work for less, senor, and he don't want no poossy. So he's in. For the time being. Until there's too many. Look at your friend Alberto. He's made a career of not getting laid. He's the original blue-balled brown man. Me, I got a cheerleader from Tyler, Texas, so they shut me down."
"He's got a white wife, Carlos."
"So what? You saw the way he ate, amigo. A man fucks like he eats. You gonna tell me who eats like that fucks anything?"
"He's got three kids."
"Well, maybe so. But let me tell you, even if he does, he's gotta show he doesn't like it. Napkin, please. And that's what happened to Wampum. He asked for the napkin, before he finished the meal. You know what I mean, amigo?"
"I think so."
"I was too brown-skinned for him."
"Maybe your brother was too brown-skinned for him."
"No, no, no. Antonio had nothing to do with it. It was the food, man. He didn't like it, so now none of those people can like it."
"Those people?"
"The Bush people. That's what they're like, man. Mrs. Bush, she's my best customer, right? She eats there every Thursday, right? With all her lady friends. They eat my barbecue, think they're open-minded. Well, the day after you take him to lunch, that's a Thursday. I have the table all ready for the Missus. But the Missus don't show. The missus don't show the next Thursday, either. You get what I'm saying? Because the next Thursday, that's when they shut me down."
"Who shut you down?"
"Immigration. They raided the place. It was like, 'Up 'gainst the wall, motherfucker.' All my campesinos, taken out, taken home. They took everything, everyone. They put out the fire. My fire. Job well done, Gunga Din. Good show, Bugler!"
A year and a half later, I received an envelope with an Alaskan postmark. It was from Carlos Boundary. I had been wondering what happened to him. Underground Barbecue -- his attempt to bring the revolution to a backyard near you -- was long gone, shut down by the health department because he never got the required permits. There was some talk that he was going to reopen Wampum in Dallas with Turtle Creek money, but that venture got eighty-sixed by rumors that one or more of his waitresses was going to file a sexual harassment suit against him. He wound up cooking briskets and whatever else he could get his hands on -- moose, bear -- on those so-called "barbecue cruises" that became popular in the heyday, such as it was, of the Clinton Administration. This was before the red-state/blue-state divide was codified by the election returns of 2000, and there was still a thrill to be had by liberals availing themselves of things thought to be "conservative" -- country music and barbecue -- because the president himself was so hungry for them. It was a kind of hopeful slumming. Of course, those cruises became famous -- scandalous! -- for the amount of sex to be had on them; as Clinton knew, there's only one reason to eat barbecue if you don't have to, and that's for the affirmation of your own appetite, and the blowjobs that are sure to follow. I never went on a barbecue cruise, whether to the Alaska or to the Caribbean, but when I heard that Carlos Boundary had moved his fire to the good ship Toga, up in the Gulf of Alaksa, I figured that he wound up in the right place, though I wondered if he would come back claiming that he was Tlingit, or Aleutian.

Ihave found by buying a chromatic tuner a great help to me in getting those bent notes correct.For example you can see draw 4 go from D to C sharp. Also it has help me to get draw 2 on a C harp correct.Before i had the tuner ,draw 2 also sounded F or F sharp. Its is a great tool for us novices
couple of questions: 1) can this device be used for diatonic harps as well? 2) where can i get one? 3) how much do they cost? ---------------------------------------- the harp is man's best friend
---------------------------------------- the harp is man's best friend
A chromatic tuner will work fine for any insturment. It is called a chromatic tuner because it tunes to all notes of the scale. I use a Korg Chromatic tuner and it was under $30. Most music stores will have them. ---------------------------------------- Chris Bushmanrocks.com

Not So Great
By Janet
from Brampton, Ontario
I was not impressed AT all with this product. When I used it on dry hair it was very sticky and made my hair stiff. It was not worth the money spent. I have not tried any other of Nick Chavez's products however, and would not likely do so after my experience with this product. I should have returned it.It smells good but not a plus if it doesn't do what Nick Chavez said it would do on TV.Sorry Nick!

sorry Nick!!
By Ginger
from St. Albert (Alberta)
Have used Nick's products for years and have loved them all except this spray. He didn't bring my favourite spray this time so decided to try this one. I've never found any of his sprays to be sticky, but this one was and was way too fragrant.I will definitely go back to one of his other sprays, but will always take a pass on this one.
Love it!
By Julie
from Hamilton, ON
I use this hairspray while I'm styling my hair and then set it with a stronger hold spray from Nick. This hairspray is a medium hold and I can still brush/comb my hair after using it. It does not make your hair hard!Love the pump! My only complaint is that it has a strong scent, but either then that, I LOVE it and will definitely purchase it again!
Very disappointed in the product......
By Bella
from Toronto
I watched Nick Chavez advertise the spray as one that will not go stiff in your hair. As soon as I spray on this product, my hair sets with a stiffness that I cannot run my fingers thru my hair the way Nick advertises it. I wonder if I'm supposed to add water to it so that it is lighter. I was very dissappointed with this product. I expected my hair to feel light as promised.I actually prefer his original volumizing extra hold perfect plus hair spray because it delivers the way you expect it to.

Hi Can anybody tell me how to get rid of powdery mildew and black spot on roses? I also have ants getting in my pots of roses is there anyway of getting rid of them? Thanks Brenda |
Follow-Up Postings:
The Ants are inconsequential, but the diseases need attention. Prevention of these two diseases is achieved by spraying with a preventative fungicide appropriate for Roses. You can purchase one of any number of brands of fungicide from your local nursery. If the problem is severe and persistent, there really is no other option than to treat the roses with a fungicide. (Needless to say, don't use these in proximity to any plot of ground that will be used for food production.) Bayer also makes a fungicide and fertilizer combination drench that is simply watered into the soil at the base of the plants and it is absorbed into the plant through the roots. Most people find it very effective but it takes a couple of applications to build up sufficient chemical in the plant to affect disease control. Lastly, if you object to the use of chemicals in your garden, (many people do, and for good reasons) then you need to find out which varieties of roses do well in your climate without chemical intervention. Selecting disease free varieties is often many people's first choice for dealing with disease problems. Regards, |
I agree with Paul. I live in Kansas where its not if I get black spot but when and that's because I love hybrid tea roses. However, if your noticing ants, you might want to check to see if the roses have aphids. You will have to check underneath the leaves, if you do then some soapy water will take care of them. |
Some roses are more or less resistant to B.S. if u find some roses are heavily diseased with BS then spores from that bush will infect other nearby bushes, so the BEST thing is to give heavily infested bushes the good old SHOVEL PRUNE (get rid of the bush) I used to spray with chemicals, but eventually got tired of paying the chemical industry for the pleasure of poisoning the environment. For instance, most David Austin roses are highly disease resistant. As for powdery mildew, cut back on nitrogen fertilizer. I used to fertilize like no tomorrow, get huge growth, but the growth is soft and very susceptible to mildew. After a while, I started fertilizing ONLY with ground up composted Christmas trees. The roses still smell just as good, just the bush is a little smaller, but IT IS DISEASE FREE!!! because I do not apply any commercial nitrogen. Also the compost ground up Christmas trees (use whatever u can find) FEEDS the soil, and there is a very rich population of bacteria in there that EAT FUNGAL SPORES, such as the Black spot spores that fall on the ground. Usually rain will splash on the ground, and the spores then get splashed up on the leaves. If there is a good heavy (several inch) layer of compost, the spores are eaten by bacteria before they can cause trouble for the bush, and also THE TEXTURE of the compost STOPS RAIN FROM SPLASHING, but instead it soaks into the ground very nicely. I have not had to spray for several years - I am sick and tired of spraying and wasting my money - MUCH better to do things the natural way. |

Hello, everyone. Happy Holidays! Several months ago, I posted about finally having success in cross pollinating two of my AV's and getting the seed to sprout. Since several people asked for updates..... Here is a photo of the 15 seedlings that have made it thus far. (I just discovered another sprout in the soil in one of these, too!) Needless to say, I am eagerly looking for the first signs of little buds emerging on the most robust ones.... Maybe I'll see some by Christmas? We'll see.... Anyway, here is the photo of the seedlings of Firebird (Strain 1) x Blue Mist (a Russian variety): |

I cannot wait to see what this produces! I rather like both parents! Are you currently still growing both parents? |
Thanks for the encouragement! I am seeing "little things" emerging on a few of the larger seedlings, but believe some of them might be suckers, since they look more like little leaves rather than buds..... Yes, Taxonomist3, I am still growing both parents. Would not be without them! They are both great violets. That is Blue Mist to the left of the seedlings in the back. If you click on the photo in this post, it should take you to my Photobucket folder with pics of the two parents. Thanks again, guys. |

Went to your photobucket, the pix are great, you have got me really interested in those two plants now for sure. Very exciting process and it will be great to see what they produce. |
Well, I am waiting for the first blossom to open now. It is taking FOREVER, it seems like... like a child waiting for Christmas morning to come, with each day seeming like an eternity. lol :-) From what I can see, though, this first bloom will be predominantly, if not totally, a deep purple. I'm guessing it will be double, given the time that it has taken to develop. It seems to be floriferous, since it is showing 5 flower stalks for it's first bloom. This is one of the traits from Firebird I was hoping would show up in these seedlings. Almost all of the other plants have buds on them as well. I hope to be able to post a pic of the first bloom by the end of the week.... fingers crossed.... |

"We were the first company to have a full season program out of Mexico from two locations, each with its own water plants," Chris Ciruli said.
Now 66, Charles Ciruli Jr. is in the office daily. He still enjoys working with vegetables and their growers, but his passion has become mangoes.
"It's what he takes the most pride in," Chris Ciruli said. "It's what he really likes — spending time at the sheds, in the fields, with the growers."
Not all of Charles Ciruli Jr.'s efforts over the years have been devoted entirely to his company.
"He saw the future of the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas and worked tirelessly on its behalf," Chris Ciruli said.
He was the driving force for more than a decade on the National Mango Board, serving as its first president. After struggling with small budgets, Charles Ciruli Jr. took it upon himself to reach out to competitors to secure the funds necessary to make the mango industry a success.
"He has an incredible vision of what can be, and he's an incredible salesman," Chris Ciruli said. "He can sell a concept or a product."
As Ciruli Bros. marks its 60th anniversary, it has evolved from a brokerage to a grower-shipper serving third and fourth generations of customers.
As for his father's greatest accomplishment, "It would be a toss up whether it was building the mango category or the Boys and Girls Club," Chris Ciruli said.
Ciruli Bros. need not search for future leadership. Chris Ciruli, and his brother, Charles Ciruli III, already handle much of the day-to-day duties.

The Build
Starting off simple, you can see the DFI Blood Iron is in place, and there is still a bunch of room to play around, even if this was a full ATX board I see no real clearance problems. I also did some basic management of the front panel wires at this point to get them tidy and out of my way to continue the build. And might i add there is plenty of room for most 120mm coolers, there was no issues at all with my version of the S1283.
Turning the case around, to show you that there is plenty of slack in the wires, even after a bit of rerouting. I was even able to rid myself of the AC' 97 plug as it slid nicely into the hole left from the PSU hold down tab.
CoolerMaster took the time to add an easy access hole to the back of the motherboard by cutting a large hole into the tray. With the motherboard I chose, it was close but not quite. I realize this isn't the norm in socket placement, but with this case supporting both mATX and full ATX motherboards, I wish it was just a bit bigger.
Getting ready to install the HDD, I removed one of the trays so I could mount the drive inside it. In the side of the tray are these white rubber coated pins that as you can see push into the HDD screw holes and are slid into the tray.
As you can see the try has key ways that accept the slotted rubber on the pins in the previous image. Although you cannot use two on each side, as the key ways run in opposite directions. While the drive isn't going anywhere with the rubber holding the drive in place, it is a bunch more secure once I added the supplied screw into the side.
As you can see, everything is in place awaiting the installation of the PSU. My 9800 GTX+ has plenty of room to spare inside the 922, allowing plenty of room for it to breathe well. At this point I am impressed how easy it's been to get these parts into place. Even the DVD drive installation was simple. I just reached in from the inside and released the two front bay cover latches, removed the cover and slid in the drive. Once the drive is aligned correctly you just push the button in and it clicks the drive into a locked position.
Here is after about twenty minutes of installing four screws to mount the PSU to the 922, and route and manage the wires as I went. Considering I spent little time and still was able to get pleasing results says something for the design and layout of the interior of the HAF 922.
