March 11, 2010
Jefferson City, Mo. - Attorney General Chris Koster said today his office is creating a task force to look at sales practice guidelines designed to stop auto service contract fraud, the number one complaint to the Attorney General's office in 2009.
"Senator Scott Rupp and I have invited business people and regulators with a stake in this issue to serve on the Missouri Auto Service Contract Task Force," Koster said. "We created this panel to discuss issues that have arisen from marketing service contracts and to develop industry guidelines to eliminate consumer deception and confusion in the sale of these products."
Koster said the Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions & Professional Registration began regulating service contract providers and administrators in 2008, but some independent marketers are not licensed and have continued to run roughshod over consumers. He said his office filed or settled 12 cases involving independent service contract marketers in 2009.
Koster said these marketers have used misleading letters, postcards, and telephone sales marketing to lure consumers into purchasing service contract coverage without providing basic information about that coverage. This was done with such tricks as misleading consumers to mistakenly believe their current vehicle warranties were about to expire and confusing some consumers into believing that they were extending the manufacturer's coverage. He said while consumers believed they were extending auto warranties, they were actually purchasing service contracts or automotive additives. Customers later realized that the low limits to their coverage rendered the service contract virtually worthless, but due to delays or restrictions on cancellation they were unable to get a refund.
Koster said some direct marketers using the auto additive scam would send customers a bottle of fluid, with instructions to immediately add it to their vehicle. Customers were instructed to install the additive in order for the warranty to be valid. But they later were denied a refund and told the purchase is non-refundable if the product has been used.
"This is a classic 'bait and switch' scheme that preys on consumers' fears of not having adequate vehicle warranty coverage," Koster said. "These businesses lure vulnerable consumers into purchasing 'auto warranties,' and then switch to sell them into service contracts and auto additive warranties with inferior or negligible repair coverage, while making it almost impossible for the consumers to cancel the contract or get refunds."
Koster said the task force will hold its first meeting April 16 in St. Louis. Members are:
Koster is issuing a "scam of the day alert" each day this week as part of National Consumer Protection Week.

This Week In Discs: The Tall Man, Sleepless Night, Portlandia, Klown and Something Called The Avengers
Features By Rob Hunter on September 25, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! I'm at Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Damsels In Distress A newcomer at Seven Oaks College is guided through her year by a trio of erudite girls determined show her the light of socializing, reason and dating beneath her station. It's to defend your love Greta Gerwig when she seems to end up in fairly shitty movies more often than not, but the odds favored her starring in a true winner eventually. That time has come thanks to Whit Stillman's smart, funny and somewhat satirical look at modern day college life. Gerwig plays the trio's leader and the one who most believes their own brand of bull, and it's a joy to watch her play with such loose and casually humorous dialogue. Adam Brody has a small role, but it's enough to remind us all that he should be headlining more comedies. Also available on DVD. Check out Kate Erbland's full review. [Extras: Commentary, featurettes, deleted scenes, outtakes]
Exclusively Watch the Friendliest Alamo Drafthouse Don't Talk PSA Yet, Then Watch All of 'KLOWN'
Features By Neil Miller on July 28, 2012 | Comments (1)The folks at that Alamo Drafthouse and Drafthouse Films don't speak Danish — at least not that we know — but the stars of their latest acquisition, KLOWN, do. And they do so in a rather raunchy manner, creating hilarity all over the land. You don't need to know Danish to enjoy the new "Don't Talk" PSA featuring KLOWN stars Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen. It's got subtitles for that. All you do need to do is be right here, right now. Because this is where it's debuting. And as a bonus, we've got a line on how you can just jump right into watching KLOWN in its entirety online. The wonders of the internet!
Review: 'Klown' Is a Well-Executed, Envelope-Pushing Comedy But That Doesn't Mean You'll Enjoy Watching It
Movie Reviews By Landon Palmer on July 24, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe Danish television series Klovn ("Clown") ran for six seasons, from 2005 to 2009, and accumulated about sixty episodes during this run. It was an incredibly popular show in Denmark and throughout Scandanavia. The series spawned a feature film, Klown (2010), which has now made its way to the US thanks to Drafthouse Films. Klown presents an admittedly difficult scenario for a US distributor and for American audiences. Word-based comedy typically encounters difficulty traversing across languages and cultures (hell, some Americans are even turned off by the idiosyncrasies of British humor despite the (mostly) shared language); there's a reason the arthouse is typically associated with snooty Euro-drama. Add this to the fact that Klown is a based on a long-running series with a core existing audience in the country in which was made that is virtually invisible in the US. Put these factors together and you've got a uniquely difficult film to promote. Despite these obstructions, which are by no means the fault of the film itself, Klown is well versed in the language of comedy. The film's comedic set-pieces are executed with an undeniably honed sense of expert timing, and the emotional arc of the film is thankfully crafted without any regard for the sentimental aspects of the human condition, avoiding the rut that so many domestic comedies reduce themselves to in their final acts.
The Latest Austin Movie Success Stories: 'Where Soldiers Come From,' 'Fourplay,' 'Pit Stop,' 'Black Metal' and More…
Austin Cinematic Limits By Don Simpson on July 16, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAustin will be representin' at the Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards. As if winning the Truer Than Fiction Award at the 2012 Independent Spirit Awards weren't enough, Austin filmmaker Heather Courtney's Where Soldiers Come From (which was broadcast on PBS's POV series) just received an Emmy nomination in the "Outstanding Continuing Coverage of a News Story – Long Form" category. The awards ceremony will take place Monday, October 1 at the Lincoln Center in New York City. If you have not seen Where Soldiers Come From, it will be rebroadcast in September. And, don't worry, I will remind you again. Former Austinite Kyle Henry's Fourplay (which boasts an Austin-centric cast and crew including producer Jason Wehling, cinematographer PJ Raval and actor Paul Soileau) premiered at San Franciso's Frameline36 in June and it just screened last night in Los Angeles at Outfest 2012. I can only assume that Fourplay will be screening at many more LGBT festivals in the coming year and the Austin premiere will probably take place at aGLIFF 2012 (October 3-7, 2012) but that's merely an assumption. Austin filmmaker and graphic designer, Yen Tan (Ciao) wrapped principal photography on his newest feature Pit Stop last week. Pit Stop tells the parallel stories of two gay men living in a small Texas town. These two men are "country queers" who have opted to live someplace where their lifestyle is not tolerated. Being gay is part of their identity, but they are not "out"; instead, they find ways to blend […]
'Klown' Stars Casper Christensen and Frank Hvam Talk Canoes, Underberg, and Child Nudity
Features By Brian Salisbury on July 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhen you watch enough movies, you come to associate canoe trips with many reprehensible things. Among these unfortunate associations are banjo music, forced sodomy, and leaving the house. Still, undaunted by the twanging intro of "Dueling Banjos" that may or may not have only existed in our heads, a group of intrepid movie fans loaded up and headed to Spring Branch, Texas for the Alamo Drafthouse's Klown canoe trip and outdoor screening. While in the film, Casper (Casper Christensen) and Frank (Frank Hvam) are on a Tour de Pussy, we were more or less on a Tour de Someone's-Assuredly-Not-Making-It-Back. As liquored up as Drafthouse impresario Tim League would allow, which is to say to our eyeballs, we set out on the Guadalupe River and took in the beauty and wonder of nature…as we tried, some of us futilely, to keep from capsizing where it was deep enough, and grinding to an embarrassing halt where the drought had made a puddle of the mighty river. Arriving back at camp at various degrees of dampness, we sat down for a glorious screening of the Danish comedy under the gorgeous Texas sky. I laughed heartily into the mouth of my ever-dwindling flask; delighted to be seeing the film again. The next day, in the throws of a beautiful hangover, I stumbled into a back room at The Highball in Austin–with no recollection of how I got back to the city–to find the stars of the film restrained in a strange Tiki gulag from […]
Alright, so June didn't exactly kick us into high gear the way it should have. We didn't get another Avengers, a movie everyone lost their nuts over. From the blockbusters to the little guys, there was a lack in unanimous love and praise to be found. We did finally get Prometheus, a movie which could go down as this summer's main topic of movie conversation over whether "It was awesome! No, it sucked!" but we get those all too often during this time of year. If we're going to get one movie to feed the millions with true, big summer entertainment where all the harshest critics will be beaten across the world, then we got one 'lil superhero movie coming up that may provoke such a reaction… The Amazing Spider-Man! Actually, no, but Marc Webb's reboot does pass the time nicely and, at the very least, gives us a new Peter Parker we can care about. But that doesn't mean it made this list. Find out what did:
Canoeing with Klowns, Cinema East, and Austin's Best Movies So Far
Austin Cinematic Limits By Don Simpson on July 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentHow many movie fans does it take to paddle down the Guadalupe River to a Drafthouse Films screening of Klown? Even after the Ultimate Klown Canoe Trip on Saturday, there's still no answer for that. All I know is that film critics are much better at being witty and snarky than they are at canoeing. Nonetheless, the endless amounts of free beer definitely helped distract us from the fact that we were outside and exercising. The weather was even somewhat pleasant — low 90s and cloudy. Twitch's Josh Hurtado and I did not know each other beforehand, but everyone else had already paired up and we were the odd men out. So, we grabbed our life jackets, paddles and canoe, hit the river and became fast friends. Right at the onset of our journey there was a massive pile up of canoes (and we had not even reached the "canoe-eating tree" yet!). Once we cleared ourselves of that mess, Josh and I opted to distance ourselves from the pack and never look back… We navigated the shallow river quite well — only having to get our feet wet a few times — and if it was a race, Josh and I won (just barely beating Tim and Karrie League who came out of nowhere in the closing quarter mile). Sure, we did not get to paddle in the pack of critics alongside Klown's Casper Christensen and Frank Hvam (though I did sit beside Hvam on the bus ride), but Josh […]
An Austin Drive-In and The Most Perverted Canoeing Trip in Texas
Austin Cinematic Limits By Don Simpson on June 25, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAustin has a drive-in movie theater? Really? No way! Actually it makes total sense, since Austin is a city that really loves movies and really loves cars [and pickup trucks and SUVs]. Besides, it seems to never rain here, so the weather is perfect for outdoor movie screenings. Way back in 2010, native Austinite Josh Frank (author of "In Heaven Everything is Fine: The Unsolved Life of Peter Ivers and the Lost History of New Wave Theatre" and "Fool the World: The Oral History of a Band Called Pixies") took a cue from San Francisco's mobile drive-in MobMov.org — he constructed a modestly sized outdoor screen, acquired some car-speaker posts from defunct drive-ins via eBay, and restored a vintage runabout to use as a concession stand. Frank's Mini Urban Drive-in, The Blue Starlite, has existed in varying capacities and locations for the last two years. When he found out a few months ago that his lease at 1001 E 6th Street would not be renewed, the future of The Blue Starlite seemed uncertain. One of Austin's best kept cinematic secrets was in jeopardy of disappearing forever. Along came a surprising announcement from the Austin Film Society — The Blue Starlite found a summer home at Austin Studios (1901 E 51st Street). They even built their first real drive-in movie screen to complement the new location.
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, Hollywood v. The Internet, Newsies and More Movie News After Dark
Movie News By Neil Miller on June 7, 2012 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? It ain't playin', yo. This is about movin' news, slingin' editorial quips and makin' bank. Whatever 'bank' is… Tonight we begin with some lovely artwork from Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, a gothic retelling of the classic fairy tale about a puppet who just wanted to be a real boy. If any of you have watched the Disney animated version of Pinocchio recently (or in general, with adult eyes), you'll know that there's some seriously spine-tingling creepitude in that story. It's got puppets from The Jim Henson Company and co-direction from Fantastic Mr. Fox animation director Mark Gustafson. Get excited about this one, kids.
Movie News After Dark: George Lucas And His Wood Don't Need You, But 'Klown' and 'Snowboy & Crow' Do

Just go with it… We begin tonight with a very cool bit of concept art from Tron: Uprising, the new animated show that has spun off from the Tron: Legacy film and the rebirth of the Tron franchise in general. This feels like a much better idea than a sequel to Legacy, as this universe has always seemed built for animation anyway. To add to the buzz around the show, Gamma Squad has Six Reasons Why You Should Watch Tron: Uprising.
'Klown' Red Band Trailer Artfully Attempts New Depths of Depravity
Movie News By Scott Beggs on May 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentYou know what this Klown Red Band Trailer is all about? Hospitality. It's about repaying a woman who is nice enough to invite you into her home, let you crash there and make you pancakes. It's sweet really. Even if it gets a little smelly. The film played at Fantastic Fest, where Adam Charles laughed his ass off to its absurd male bonding, and Drafthouse Films picked it up for distribution. The movie, based on a television show, focuses on two men who are on a wild Tour de Pussy. Trying to boldly prove that he's fatherly material to his girlfriend, one of the men kidnaps her 12-year-old son and brings him along. Check out more good parenting with the trailer:

Daniel Norris is definitely no lightweight when it comes to cinematic knowledge and artistic ability. Fusing his two loves, the talented illustrator is constantly churning out his versions of movie posters to some of the most beloved films of yesteryear as well as highly anticipated movies yet to be released.
Daniel Norris' portfolio literally consists of over hundreds of these re-imagined cinematic creations and the films range from The Breakfast Club and Stand By Me to The Dark Knight Rises and The Rise of the Planet of the Apes. He's even covered more obscure films like Norwegian Wood.
Film affiliations aside, these Daniel Norris posters are stylistically quite remarkable. Norris employs many stencils and silhouettes to depict famous Hollywood characters and actors and though some may classify his work as minimalist, there's definitely no denying the man has impressive technical skills.

60 Replies and Counting —DeWese
August 2009The banks got money.
Wall Street was generously rewarded with billions.
Some insurance companies got big bucks.
The automakers got multi-billions.
But we got nothing, zilch, zip, zero. How is it that all the wrong-doers who made the mess got the money, and hard workin' printers got bumkus or is it bupkus?
Printers are tough, smart, resourceful people. So, I decided to offer my own Mañana Man Stimulus Package. I offered the package to any company that would write and tell me why they need "Stimulating" in 100 words or less.
Usually, I get five responses when I ask people to write in. But then my mama died in 1986 and Marvelle Stump went to the Mississippi State Prison in Parchmon, so now I only get three responses.
Not this time!
So far, as of July 4, I have received 60 requests, and they're still coming. Now I'm the one who needs a Stimulus Package to pay for more coffee, beignets (New Orleans doughnuts covered with powdered sugar), books and Web brainstorming sessions that I promised each respondent.
My June column was partially inspired by a salesman who is the owner and CEO of his company. He sells $16 million annually all by himself. When he read the column, he sent me the following e-mail:
"Just got to a softball game. I am coaching one of my hundreds of daughters. (It just seems like hundreds to him.) Just took a call while coaching first base from a big Nameless Corporation where they had me on a conference call for the entire inning, even though I told them where I was. They could care less about others.
"We did score three runs and I sold $100,000 worth of printing. There is absolutely nothing like the true joy of sitting in a convenience store parking lot selling my rear end off! It does not get better than this. The hell with corporate jets and high-dollar dinners—just give me a laptop, a Blackberry, a 32-oz. Diet Pepsi and some crackers. I am not a genius. I am the best of all things—a SALESMAN!

In recent years, I have become increasingly aware of the value in connecting myself – in the long and short term – with people who have an expertise in particular areas. While I am undeniably awesome at a number of things, there are other areas where I can most definitely benefit from the input of someone who actually knows what they are talking about.
There are decisions to be made and priorities to be set in my life and, to be honest, I feel woefully unequipped to deal with the many issues facing me at the moment. I find myself constantly vacillating between options or simply putting the issues to one side while I bury my nose in a book (all hail Susan, Queen of Procrastination). When I was offered the opportunity to review Play a Bigger Game, it seemed like the perfect way to shake myself out of the holding pattern I'm currently maintaining. A step–by–step guide to getting back on track written by an experienced (and successful) motivational speaker seemed like an opportunity too good to miss.

Other Pets at Sean Casey Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Liza, a Brooklyn Basenji dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Basenji for sale in Brooklyn, or seeking a Basenji dog from a breeder in Brooklyn.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn 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 Basenji breeders who help with Basenji rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brooklyn paves the way for another one to be saved.

I started to create an Onion bed today. This is all I have done so far. I hope it's not too late for my Onion sets. I will be creating about 3 or 4 more beds this size. One more for Onions. I got 80 Onions in the set, and a bunch of Leek seedlings, and Onion seedlings. I will fill these two beds with the Onions. The rest of the beds will be for Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, and Parsnips/Carrots. I might need to create one more after that for Turnips and Beets, but maybe not. I have a whole section dedicated to Leafy greens also. I will be using some of the beds in the fall for my Garlic. I should have 300-500 cloves by the fall. |

We got top soil delivered this last Summer. I'm using that. The bad thing is, it had wire worms in it. It seems like everyone has wire worms in their soil. I saw one while I was shoveling the soil, and killed it. I also saw some Cut worms, and click beetles. Those were from here though, not the soil. I killed them too. |

We are trying to do even more stuff. We might get one or two cows, we'll have some chickens soon, and my niece got a Sheep we'll have. There is a patch of lawn that's about 45 feet wide and 90 feet long I'm working on improving. I will also be increasing my Garlic yield year by year in hopes of being able to sell $2,000 worth a year and get farm status. If all goes well, the year after this year I should be growing about 1,000+ garlic plants. |

John Hodson wants your help.
The president and founder of the Kankakee Valley Historical Society wants family stories and pictures of the Kankakee River Valley in days past to post on the society's website.
The project got its spark during the society's annual Aukiki River Festival in August when someone dropped off a packet of photographs and other information about some settlers of the Kankakee River area of Porter County.
Karen Maass, who lives in the Grand Rapids, Mich., area, had asked a Jasper County cousin of hers to deliver the packet to the festival organizers. Hodson made contact with the cousin and reached out to Maass.
"It was really good stuff. A lot of it hadn't really been seen before," Hodson said.
Hodson has spent a lot of time since then in the offices of the Porter County auditor and recorder, searching through transactions and deeds from the late 1800s and the turn of the last century.
Around that time, about a 1-mile span along the Kankakee River bank was dotted with hunt clubs established on leased land, including the Collier Lodge, which the Historical Society is trying to restore. Others were the Louisville Hunt Club, the Donely Resort (formerly known as the Rockville/Terre Haute/Indianapolis Hunt Club), the Valley Hunt Club (comprised of local residents) and the Pittsburgh Hunt Club.
Maass said her family was from Valparaiso and owned property by Baum's Bridge — a river crossing southwest of Kouts — in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Relatives, she said, were perhaps partial owners of the Valley Hunt Club.
"It was the era when everyone was building those hunting clubs," she said. "It was such a neat time in history because people had some money finally and there were no wars going on."
Sportsmen frequented the area for the variety of fish found in the river, the migrating waterfowl as well as the deer, buffaloes, muskrats, partridges and other animals that lived in the area of the Grand Kankakee Marsh.
Maass finds it exciting to delve into her family's past and help Hodson with his project. Most of her family from this area is now gone, except for another cousin in Chesterton, but at one time, her relatives were quite active along the Kankakee River.
Her great-uncle Carl Black collected Native American artifacts from the Baum's Bridge area, including the skeleton of a Native American girl found by James Collier when he excavated under his store for a basement.
Where Black's collection of artifacts is now remains a mystery, Maass said, and it's that kind of information Hodson is seeking as well.
"I'm pleading for people to come forward and let me scan things, because it helps me place things," Hodson said. He started downloading the information he has onto the Historical Society's website the first week in January.
People are invited to provide background stories on what he posts, particularly family stories. Hodson said Porter County is like a small town and a lot of people with ties to early families are still around.
"It's drawn me back to really laying out and making public the history of the area," he said.
That includes the three or four river towns he found out about in the Porter County Surveyor's Office, including Riverside, Roosevelt, Maysville and Baum's Bridge.
"Baum's Bridge is a great representation of these failed river towns," he said, adding the 1918 straightening of the river killed off the budding communities.
He's hoping the community can come forward and help flesh out the area's history.
"All this input we can get from people — the stories and pictures — it fills the gaps," Hodson said.

1. First, let's prepare CU3ER project for export. Since Weebly is a hosted solution please use absolute paths in your project. Absolute paths contain whole domain name in all URLs referred in CU3ER project. You can set use of absolute paths in cManager at Project Settings panel by turning on Use absolute URLs checkbox. http://docs.getcu3er.com/cmanager/setting-project
Paths should point to locations on which CU3ER files of your project will be hosted. You can use any hosting solution which allows direct access to hosted CU3ER files.
2. After you've created a slideshow, export your project. You will be prompted for ZIP download.
3. Extract exported project .ZIP file and upload CU3ER files and folders to locations you had set in first step. This locations will be provided in embed_example.html (embed_example.html is included in project .ZIP file and you can open it with your browser).
Also, if your site is available both from http://www.yourdomain.com and http://yourdomain.com (with and without www) you need to add crossdomain.xml file to the root server, making it available at http://yourdomain.com/crossdomain.xml (at the same time also at http://www.yourdomain.com/crossdomain.xml).
crossdomain.xml file tells Flash security that it's ok to access resources from both version of your site.
Content of crossdomain.xml should be like this (replace yourdomain.com with your domain name)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only" />
<allow-access-from domain="yourdomain.com" />
<allow-access-from domain="*.yourdomain.com" />
you can download example crossdomain.xml from this address (right click and choose save as)
4. Now, you can log in to your Weebly account and go to Weebly editor in order to embed CU3ER to your website. When the editor opens you will notice 'Custom HTML' icon which you will use to add CU3ER embedding code to your page.
5. Click on 'Custom HTML' icon and hold, then drag it to the place on your page on which you want to place your CU3ER slider and release mouse button.
6. Box for adding custom HTML code is now placed on your page and you need to click on it so you could paste CU3ER embedding code.
7. After you click on 'Custom HTML' box in editor you can paste CU3ER embedding code. To get embedding code for your slider open embed-example.html (which was included in exported project .ZIP file) in your browser. You'll need to copy embedding code provided in embed-example.html and paste it to HTML 'Custom HTML' box.
After you paste the code you should have code similar to this in your 'Custom HTML' box :
or if you are using old embedding code without support for javascript version it should be similar to this code:

I was suprised this workes in my hair, my hair is untameable and so frizzy. This product helps alot. I use it when my hair is damp and it dries into a non frizzy curls. the only negative is probably if you put too much it dries but it feels like you have to much product and somewhat crunchy and it makes your hair oily fast. Its also cheaper at walmart than walgreens. Definitely repurchasing

THIS IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN! I was shocked at the negative comments. I was amazed at what it did to my un-tamable, wild, frizzy curly hair. It made it look longer by minimizing the frizz, it made my hair silky, and my hair didn't puff! 100% on the price, it wasn't too expensive. My hair looks and feels so much more hydrated after this, and i have noticed it growing faster because it has been relieved from its usually dry state. <3 this product and <3 Garnier Fructis!

It's just a regular cheap silicone leave in. Doesn't do anything special for your hair.... just coat it and maybe add a little of softness, but not healthiness or shine or silkiness. Note, silkiness and softness are 2 different things

This just really weighed down my curls and took away their bounce and volume and made my hair greasy. I'm guessing this product works better on thicker hair. The packaging, price, and scent of the product was wonderful, but the results on my hair were two thumbs down.

If I could give this a 4.5, I would! As of right now, this is my HG curly hair product because it smooths my hair without making it feel crunchy OR sticky. My only criticism would be that it doesn't tame the flyaways at the crown of my head, but hairspray seems to take care of that. I seriously always have about 3 bottles of this stuff stocked up because I use it every single day.

Meh. I wasn't blown away but it wasn't horrible either. Decent slip, and it made my hair feel soft but didn't do much for frizzies. For the reference I have fairly thick hair that's on the coarser side an it's colored. I feel like someone with finer hair might have better luck with this.

Okay, I'm in the minority who LOVE this product! I have very long, very curly hair, and its fine in texture, but I have a lot of it. I have issues with so many products I've tried for curly hair that either leave my hair crunchy (OMG...I HATE that! UGH) or, they weigh it down and pull the curl out and leave it flat. This product doesn't do either. It moisturizes and defines my curls, without weighing them down, and leaves my hair silky and shiny. Its also great for 2nd and 3rd day hair as it controls the frizz and seems to re-energize my curls. My one main complaint is the pump....product tends to "creep" out as you pump it. However, for results like these, and a price much less than salon with better results, I can suck it up and deal.

I have to say that I am ABSOLUTELY shocked at some of the negative reviews that this product is getting!! To each their own I guess :) I have struggled with my naturally curly hair all my life (especially when it is hot and humid like it is now) and I have tried just about EVERY product out there to tame my frizzy, dry, unruly hair and none of them have worked NEARLY as well as this product!! I put 2 pumps of this stuff in my hair right after I get out of the shower followed by the Garnier leave in conditioner, and it works RIDICULOUSLY well!! Next time I go to the store I am going to buy all that they have on the shelves!! This is 100% the best hair product I have EVER used and I have used many "salon" products as well. I used to have to wash my hair everyday because my second day hair was so dry and frizzy, but now my second day hair looks just as good as it did when I first washed it! I made an account just to make this review because I love it so much LOL!

LOVE IT! I have tried almost all of the anti frizz/curl enhancing products they sell at a Walgreens/salon including ebony products. This is PERFECT! It is light, non greasy, non dulling, not sticky, not crunchy... I use two pumps on partially dried hair single pump on day two to fluff the curls. Please Garnier keep this one!

I used my new square white plates last night for a dinner party. I put them in the dishwasher last night and noticed today when I took them out one of the plates has a brown mark about the size of a hair on it. I tried scrubbing it but nothing would remove it. It really ruins the effect of the stark plain white plate. Does anyone have any ideas how this mark could have gotten on the plate and how to remove it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Try ZUD--if the mark is from your flatware or even rust, it should remove it. Just use a little on a wet sponge and rub it over the mark. FWIW I've only done that with the powdered version, not sure if the liquid/cream version would have the same mildly abrasive quality that removes the marks.... |
Thanks. I'll look for that. I was wondering if it could have been a scratch from the flatware. I hope this new dinnerware isn't so delicate that it will leave marks whenever the flatware makes contact with it. The dinnerware came from Macy's and seems to be pretty durable. |
I went to look for "Zud" today and couldn't find it. I suppose I'll have to order it. Is it gentle enough to use on china without the abrasiveness scratching it? |
- Posted by antiquesilver (My Page) on Mon, Jun 9, 08 at 16:07
Sometimes you can find ZUD in the hardware store. |
Bon Ami or even Barkeepers friend will do the same thing....the Bon Ami is just ag entle abrasive, while Barkeepers Friend is a reducing agent like Zud. Linda C |
Thanks, I had a can of Bartender's Friend so I tried it. It removed the brownish color of the mark but when the light hits the plate in the right direction the scratch mark can still be seen. Would this have been caused by a knife scratching and removing the glaze on the plate and if so is there anything that can be done short of never serving anything that requires a knife so this won't happen again? Also would the Barkeeper's Friend possibly add more scratches? I just hate to see my new dinnerware get marred up after only one use and think what it might look like after a year of use. http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=235582&CategoryID=30841 |
I got my most recent can of ZUD powder at a local hardware store. I'm pretty sure I'd read or heard somewhere that BKF is similar to ZUD (active ingredient), just a weaker/lower % (or something like that). I've used ZUD on my dishes and it hasn't seemed to harm them in any way. I do know that the faint silvery/grey marks on plates and in the bottom of coffee cups are metal marks left behind by utensils, but I don't think they are actual scratches in the glaze, rather I've always felt that they are marks ON the surface. |

Off topic, but I'll mention that the title "Mark on Plate" struck me as very odd when I saw it just after thinking about the old short story, "To Serve Man." |

Facebook to Buy Virtual Reality Company Oculus Rift
by Dale WrightFacebook has announced that it will acquire virtual reality company Oculus Rift for $2 billion, it has been announced.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of the social networking giant, announced that Oculus Rift would allow Facebook to develop for the 'platforms of tomorrow' and that the software would be developed beyond use for gaming and into communications, media, entertainment, and education areas.
Of the acquisition, Zuckerberg said: "Oculus has the chance to create the most social platform ever, and change the way we work, play and communicate."
The sale is comprised of $400 million in cash, as well as 23.1 million shares in of Facebook's common stock, and is expected to close in the second quarter of this year. The Oculus Rift virtual reality headset hasn't had a commercial release yet, but game developers have been able to buy it.
Needless to say, the reactions from Oculus Rift fans online have been somewhat mixed. Several game developers have posted about their dismay of Facebook's buyout of the company. Minecraft creator Markus Persson wrote a blog detailing why he would no longer be bringing his game to Oculus Rift, citing the reason that Facebook would only be interested in building user numbers and making the VR software conform to the social experience. Plenty of other fans posted similar messages of disappointment on Oculus Rift founder Palmer Luckey's Reddit post about the buyout, as Facebook doesn't always have the best track record when it comes to privacy.
However, if you're against Facebook buying Oculus Rift, here are a few things to consider. The same team will still be working on the development of the Oculus Rift, but they will have access to a lot more money to be able to expand the software to new opportunities. Technology research is expensive, and it's possible that Facebook's involvement will mean that Oculus Rift will be available to consumers sooner, rather than it creating a setback.
What do you think about Facebook taking over Oculus Rift? Will it be good for virtual reality, or is it a bad idea?

I have this question but i have difficult to understand and which probability rules i use
Assume that an old used car fails to start 10% of the time. The other 90% of the time it drives for a time period which is uniformly distributed in the interval 20 to 30 minutes. In this interval all subintervals of time of equal width between 20 to 30 minutes are equally likely.
What is the probability that the car drives for at least 10 minutes given that it starts?
any suggestion !!

Edinboro University students to pitch in during annual R.A.K.E. leaf cleanup
10/23/2013The smell of autumn is in the air and the leaves are falling, which means it's also time for Edinboro University's annual Random Acts of Kindness in Edinboro (R.A.K.E.) event, in which students rake the leaves from lawns of area residences.
R.A.K.E. will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2. In the event of rain, the project will be held on Nov. 3.
Edinboro University students will be raking and bagging fallen leaves at homes in the borough of Edinboro. Priority will be given to elderly and disabled residents.
"We will be raking the lawns of elderly and disabled residents who call to request assistance first," said Dr. Melissa Gibson, service-learning director. "Once we've reached those individuals, then we will rake the lawns of others who have called to request. And, lastly, we will be walking throughout the borough knocking on doors and asking residents if they would like their lawns raked."
On the day of the event, staff members will set up a check-in station for student volunteers at the corner of Normal and Meadville streets, near the campus clock tower. The volunteers will be sent out in shifts from 9-11:30 a.m. and 12:30-3 p.m. to rake.
According to Director of Campus Life & Leadership Development Michelle Barbich, this community service project is designed to reach as many residents in the community as possible in one day.
"We usually have approximately 200 student volunteers, so they can cover quite a few houses in a day," said Barbich. "However, we hope that residents with very large lawns will understand that it would be difficult for students to complete their service if they spend an extraordinary amount on any given lawn. We try to help as many people as possible."
R.A.K.E. has become an annual event that many of the University's 120 student clubs and organizations participate in each year.
"This is a great way for student clubs and organizations to give back to the community of Edinboro," said Shannon Rohrich, who is serving for a year in the Edinboro area as an AmeriCorps VISTA Volunteer in Service to America. "We look forward to having students serve the community."
Edinboro residents are encouraged to contact the Community Outreach Center at 814-732-1720 to have their name placed on the R.A.K.E. list.

I have waited so long for the new HD Tivo only to now be told that I have to wait till some point after the first of the year to have a shot at getting one.
What I don't understand is why those of us with the SD Tivo who have been asking to upgrade are not first on the list to upgrade.
Very unhappy that once again DirecTV is going to make me wait and still can't tell me when I will be able to get it.

Do you know if the IR control codes for the THR22-100 will be the same as TIVO non-DirecTv control codes? I have a Control4 video distribution system for our house and want to swap out my current non-TIVO DirecTv box for the new THR22-100. The Control4 system requires IR codes to map to its remotes.

Will the External drive work the same way on the THR22, as a replacement for the internal drive or in addition to the existing drive ?
Posted 08 December 2011 - 08:07 PM
Here's what I know so far:
The TiVo User Interface will be on an otherwise stock HR22-100. If you have an HR22-100, you will not be able to upgrade it yourself.
There will be TiVo Suggestions, Wishlist Recording and Swivel Search. Swivel Search will only work if the DVR is connected to the internet.
There will be a Peanut Remote but it is specific to the THR22. The White DIRECTV remote will also operate the THR22.
There is a Deleted Items folder, and more than 50 season passes.
There will be support for Music and Photos if your DVR is connected to your LAN. There is an app you can download at TiVo.com for this.
The interactive channels like ACTIVE and the Scoreguide will work.
There are two 30-minute buffers.
eSATA works.
DBSTalk will not be participating in pre-release testing (CE.)
Scheduling via directv.com will work. Scheduling through the DIRECTV app "might" work, I'm not sure.
What isn't supported:
TiVo KidZone
Picture-in-Graphics (PIG)
Front-panel dimming
DIRECTV App for iPad
$199 to lease
Monthly TiVo Service $5 plus $7 mirroring charge
HD Access must be on the account
If you paid for Lifetime TiVo service you can swap the old TiVo receiver without incurring the $5/month TiVo service fee.
Posted 08 December 2011 - 08:25 PM
Wish this was based on the Tivo ELITE platform---
Needs a PIG guide
Needs 2 buffers of longer time - at least 1 hour for each buffer
Needs TiVo KidZone
-----Below features that is good that are not supported
Will the DIRECTV allow us to change series links online ?
Posted 08 December 2011 - 08:32 PM
Right. The regular DVR, mirroring, and HD access fees apply; just add the additional $5 "TiVo Tax."
Posted 08 December 2011 - 08:40 PM
Posted 08 December 2011 - 08:46 PM
Will this have an 1080p / HD guide ?

I can confirm that KidZone is not part of the THR22. Not from my own eyes but from a very reliable source.

The Obama administration lifted the six-month ban on deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico Tuesday, about a month-and-a-half before the ban was set to expire.
The moratorium was put in place following the British Petroleum oil rig explosion in April that killed 11 workers and dumped some 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf. The ban was originally set to expire Nov. 30.
A federal report estimated the moratorium caused a temporary loss of 8,000 to 12,000 jobs in the region.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said the ban was lifted early because of new rules put in place to strengthen safety measures for deepwater oil drilling.
"Operators who play by the rules and clear the higher bar can be allowed to resume," Salazar said.
The new rules include a requirement that oil company CEOs certify a well has complied with all regulations before it is used. This could make company leaders liable for any future accidents.

Patt Neighborhood |
In 1981, the
Jerusalem Foundation, with the support of the Cukier, Goldstein-Goren
Foundation, established a Park and Sports Center in the Patt Neighborhood.
This project, dedicated to the memory of the late Bracha Goldstein, mother
of Avram Goldstein-Goren, is located in the heart of the neighborhood.
Covering 45 dunams (more than 11 acres), the Center includes a Jerusalem
Pine grove, a children's playground, football fields and basketball
courts. Special lighting facilities enable night usage. In 2005 the Foundation and the Jerusalem Foundation signed an agreement for a total renovation and improvement of the Bracha Goldstein Park. The beautiful new park was rededicated in the presence of numerous family members, in October 2007, as the Mama Betty Park and Sports Center, which is now adjacent to the Max Rayne School for bilingual education. |
Family Day Care Center and Hostel for emotionally handicapped children
With assistance from the Cukier, Goldstein-Goren Foundation, the Jerusalem Foundation, set up a Family Day Care Center and Hostel for children whose handicaps stem from emotional problems. The Hostel, built in 1983, now houses eight girls aged 13-15 who study in a special education school. The Cukier, Goldstein-Goren Foundation's financing was used to purchase, renovate and furnish the six-room apartment that houses the Hostel. | ||

They are a pre-paid provider. They are undergoing a merger with T-mobile and thus will have access to the t-mobile 4G network in 2013. Anyone use them now? How is coverage?
We currently have VirginMobile on the Sprint network, and coverage is only so-so in Ballard. Most of the prepaid providers are on Sprint.
T-mobile offers its own prepaid deals, but MetroPCS is cheaper.

Mar 22nd 2011 11:42AM This may be slightly off topic, but I think another way to get and keep tanks (not talking about raiding here, but lfd heroics) is to just be a little more understanding of mistakes, and not being a total toolbag if/when a wipe happens.
I logged onto my pally tank last night, all ready to run 3-4 heroics using the lfd tool since none of my guildies were on. We wipe on the first boss of Grim Batol, and when I ask what I did wrong, since I've downed that boss before and had no problems, I get told things like, "you f***ing suck," and, "quit being terrible." I left the group and promptly started leveling my Boomkin.
I'm not saying I'm not going to play my tank anymore, but yeah, I was a little bit butthurt. I hear dps talk about the long waits for tanks all the time, and then when you get one, you want to be a douche to him/her, and make them not want to play with you. It doesn't make sense. Yes, I realize that random groups are random, and no, not everyone is like that, but come on. Maybe more people would tank if they weren't treated so poorly when they made mistakes.

James Victore's new monograph is so slick that a stranger on the subway asked us what we were reading because he "needed a new book." The design strikes such a careful balance between craft and irreverence that has the same appeal as the cool kid in school that never followed the rules but still graduated on time.
The matte black pages provide a striking contrast to a typically bound book, even when closed, and the cover painting sandwiches those uncommon pages between a carefully defaced oil painting festooned with Victore's trademark hand illustrations (scrawled painted words and a Van Dyke goatee) combined with a stark typeface arrangement. The cover itself actually forms a fold-out of the painting that can serve as a poster, Victore's stock and trade. From the cover on in, the monograph is just as boisterous and freewheeling an exploration of the bounds of graphic design as James Victore's career has been.
On the inside cover are a series of what this reviewer suspects were abandoned title possibilities in bold white type with strikethroughs, but they could just as easily serve as rules that are meant to be broken, such as "Location, Location, Location," or "It's Not About Persuasion." A few pages further intrepid readers will discover the most irreverent inspiration list we've ever seen including such gems as "Salvador Dali, for his mustache, not his painting," "Franz Kline, for his painting, not his mustache," and "Patrick Swayze, but only for Road House." The book is overstuffed with too many throwaway gags and in jokes to mention in the intro pages alone, so it's worth moving on to the content inside the actual graphic design.
Once we get past the stark cover credits, we finally get to Victore's work. He cut his chops on book covers and the visuals are dynamite. Almost all are photograph or collages with scrawls on top, but the wit and spontaneity that drove them takes precedence over the craft of the line. A few standouts include a military photo with white lines cutting up a soldier like a butchers diagram for Johnny Got His Gun and a stark black cover with white teeth for The Werewolf of Paris..The poster content that follows is irreverent and raw. Explaining that that when he went looking for his posters, they had disappeared, Victore says, "I had made something that people wanted to steal." Well, in this case you have to pay for it, but the sheer volume of creative energy contained in Who Died and Made You Boss is sure to inspire and entertain.

These were the first to be included in a collection of treasured recipes Crider was busy compiling on her computer in April 2011. It takes her more effort to recall the ones that hadn't yet been recorded when tornadoes tore through Calhoun County on the afternoon of April 27.
In some cases, it takes a fond childhood memory.
Among the many items lost that day was a box of timeworn recipe cards handwritten by her grandmother — about 25 in all, Crider estimates — including her grandmother's teacake recipe.
"She always made teacakes when we came to visit," she said.
On the morning of April 27, Crider was in Birmingham as her husband Don underwent knee surgery, but by the afternoon the couple had returned to the house on Coosa River where they'd lived for more than 25 years. With Don under doctor's orders to remain in bed, the couple was relaxing in their bedroom with a big bowl of popcorn when their son Keith, an Anniston firefighter, called with a warning — it looked like a tornado was headed their way.
Even so, when she heard her husband cry out to her a little while later, Crider said she thought it must be his knee. She remembers being surprised to walk back to the bedroom and find her husband not in bed — "the doctor had told him to get in bed and stay there" — but taking shelter in the closet, where she immediately joined him.
Once the storm had passed, Crider stood and surveyed the damage. She then broke the news to her husband, still lying on a patch of floor that had been surrounded by four walls moments before.
"I told him everything was gone," Crider said, "just — everything was gone."
Of the many cookbooks that Crider, a self-professed cookbook collector, lost that day, two were particularly hard to part with. One — released 20 or 25 years ago as a fundraiser for the couple's church, Saks Baptist — contained recipes gathered from church members and loved ones, including selections from both Crider's mother-in-law and her mother, Elvie.
The second loss was more personal.
"It was my mother's favorite cookbook, the yellow phone company cookbook," Crider said.
While the book itself could likely be replaced with a visit to eBay, the scrawled notes and recipe adjustments, the folded corners marking pages she'd wanted to remember, could not.
"But all of that was just stuff," she says. "We came out with our lives."
A couple who lived just across the river, she points out, were not as fortunate. That's a fact that makes it easy to overlook the loss of oil paintings and cookbooks, of irreplaceable family photos and treasured family recipes, and instead be grateful for what she has.
Despite the devastation to their home, Crider walked away with just scrapes and bruises. And though Don suffered two crushed vertebrae, he was able to get around within six weeks. With the help of their sons Keith and Adam, who flew in from Colorado, as well as their church family and volunteers, they were soon able to start rebuilding on their riverfront property. They moved into their new home in February of last year.
Crider has also been steadily building back her cookbook collection, kicking things off with a stack from the thrift store, a gift from a niece working at the Salvation Army. In February she won a copy of "300 Sensational Soups" in The Star's weekly cookbook giveaway, and she's recently taken to Facebook in search of fresh ideas in the kitchen. After all, "online you can find just about anything you want," she says.
Crider is back to work on the family cookbook that she hopes to pass on to her daughters-in-law. Although she won't be able to include any of her grandmother's recipes or notes from her mother's yellow cookbook, because of the work she started before the tornado, she can still recreate several of Elvie's shining moments in the kitchen.
"God was really good to us," she said.
Elvie's Famous Baked Beans
1 gallon pork and beans
8 ounces tomato sauce
1 pound ground beef, scrambled and drained
2/3 cup ketchup
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 ¼ cup brown sugar (loose)
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup chopped bell pepper (optional)
Combine all ingredients; mix well. Bake 45 minutes to an hour at 400 F.

President Obama today pounced on rival Mitt Romney's comment that it's fair for him to pay a lower tax rate than middle class Americans, arguing his opponent's remarks embody the different visions at stake in this election.
"He said yes, I think it's fair, and I also think that's the way you get economic growth," Obama said in an appearance on ABC's "The View." "The notion being, if people at the top have more income, they'll invest and they'll create jobs."
"I've just got a different vision about how we grow an economy," Obama said today. "I think… that you grow an economy from the middle out, not from the top down."
Romney has defended paying a lower tax rate on his roughly $20 million investment income than people do when they make $50,000 a year. He told CBS' "60 Minutes," It's "the right way to encourage economic growth — to get people to invest, to start businesses, to put people to work."
"That's a different vision about how we move the country forward, and you know, ultimately it's going to be up to the American people to make a decision about you know who's got the better plan," the president told the women of "The View."
"When the teacher and the bus driver and the receptionist and the office manager, when they've got more money in their pockets, when they're doing well, then that means business has more customers, that means business makes more profits, they hire more workers and that's been the history of our country, is we grow fastest when the middle class is doing well and when folks who are trying to get in the middle class have ladders of opportunity," Obama said.
"I'm voting for him," First Lady Michelle Obama chimed in to laughter and applause from the audience.
In response to the president's appearance on "The View," the Romney campaign said "There is only one candidate in this race who has raised taxes on middle-class workers and families – Barack Obama."
"Governor Romney will lower tax rates across the board and eliminate all taxes on savings and investment for low- and middle-income Americans. The robust economic benefits of a lower capital gains tax rate is the reason President Clinton signed such reforms into law, and many prominent Democrats – including members of the Obama Administration – have supported that policy," Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg said in a written statement.

They are all very social, happy and healthy

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tia, a Bensalem Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Bensalem, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Bensalem.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bensalem 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 Bensalem 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bensalem paves the way for another one to be saved.

0Jun 1, '12 by I no u c meI'm not sure how strict they are about having all the required documents. Personally I would apply anyway if the classes weren't your pre-req's. Consider that the classes aren't on your transcript anyway. Go ahead and apply.
1Jun 1, '12 by I no u c meYou should be fine. Make sure you look over your application as many times necessary. Also anything that doesn't apply to you put N/A. Don't leave anything blank.Kadambari likes this.
1Jun 3, '12 by I no u c meI have no idea. Based on the previous threads, it looks like the wait is at least 2 months. Considering I applied in May, I'm going to go bananas by then. I promised myself I wouldn't allow it to happen. As I was reading some of the older post, I was telling myself I wasn't going to allow this to control me like that. But I ready see how people were feeling. One thing I'm not going to do is call the nursing office and allow them to give me the run around.Kadambari likes this.

In many ways it couldn't have been more fitting. The Daily Mirror reports that a replica of Del Boy's three-wheeled Robin Reliant, made famous in Only Fools and Horses, has been stolen while making a promotional appearance. Alas, it was not in Peckham but in Dagenham in Essex that the dastardly crime took place.

Innovation is not just about finding new recipes every time. It is about rethinking old recipes with new ingredients and new cooking methods. That is how the microwave version of panki came to be. Much-loved by almost everybody, a panki is also a filling and wholesome snack that is easy to make, easy to have. In a microwave it becomes even easier! however, even if the means and methods are new, some aspects of tradition are to be maintained—all said and done, a panki is best baked between banana leaves. So, make sure you find some. Serve hot to enjoy it at its best.

the soya panki turned out to be a great dish. a little more water had to be added in order to get the perfect batter. this could also be eaten by putting it on a pan without the leaaves
