Dahlgren is a village in Hamilton County, Illinois, United States. The population was 514 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Mount Vernon Micropolitan Statistical Area.
Dahlgren is located at 38°11′57″N 88°41′9″W / 38.19917°N 88.68583°W (38.199117, -88.685737).[1] The mean elevation of the village is 155.5 meters (510 feet).
According to the 2010 census, the village has a total area of 1.00 square mile (2.6 km2), all land.[2]
Dahlgren was established on March 29, 1872 by Deed of Dedication. On that date Alexander M. Sturman formally conveyed to the new town one square mile (2.6 km²) of land that had been platted the previous autumn. Its founding coincided with the construction of the Saint Louis & Southeastern Railway when most of the residents of the hamlet of Lovilla relocated en masse to the new rail line from a stage route (the so-called "New Mt. Vernon Road") that ran a few miles to the southeast of present-day Dahlgren and had itself supplanted the older Goshen Road from near McLeansboro. The first post office had been established earlier on December 11, 1871 with the arrival of the first trains. George T. McGonagle was the first postmaster.
Dahlgren was named for Rear Admiral John A. B. Dahlgren, a prominent Union officer during the American Civil War, and shareholder in the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which later acquired the St. Louis & Southeastern.
The area around Dahlgren was initially settled by immigrant farmers from Europe, especially southern Germany, England and Wales, representing both Catholic and Protestant faiths. It reached its peak population around 1910, at that time supporting numerous local businesses, a hotel and an opera house.
Dahlgren suffered general economic migration and decline coincindent with the economic depression of the 1930s. As roads were improved and automobiles became more widely used the primacy of local businesses waned as residents were able to begin trading in larger towns located farther away.
The decline continued until the early 1970s culminating with the end of passenger rail service effective May 1, 1971 and the closing of the local high school two years later. Even the arrival of the interstate highway system in the mid-1970s did not spur economic growth as the village board at the time elected to refuse local access to the highway. Since that time, despite the closing of all but a handful of local businesses, the economic situation has stabilized and improved. The remaining local niche retailers have established strong trade and new manufacturing interests have expanded. Residential real estate is becoming highly desirable owing to its relative scarcity and Dahlgren's reputation for excellent "quality of life."
Much of the brick-facade business district has fallen into ruin, yet the historic original St. L. & S.E. Railroad Depot, now owned by the village, remains in excellent condition, a superb example of "Railroad Gingerbread" style.
As of the census[3] of 2010, there were 525 people, 211 households, and 140 families residing in the village. The population density was 526.92 people per square mile (198.5/km²). There were 242 occupied housing units at an average density of 244.1 per square mile (94.6/km²). There are 31 unoccupied units. The racial makeup of the village was 96% White, 2.5% Black, and 1.5% Hispanic or Latino.
There were 211 households out of which 30.9% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 52.6% were married couples living together, 30.33% were a single-person households, and 23.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.49 and the average family size was 3.08.
In the village the population was spread out with 20.5% under the age of 15, 11.24% from 15 to 24, 23.24% from 25 to 44, 28.57% from 45 to 64, and 16.57% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 39.3 years. For every 100 females there were 91.6 males. There were 435 persons age 15 or older.
The median income for a household in the village was $32,734, and the median income for a family was $34,886. Males had a median income of $35,313 versus $21,071 for females. The per capita income for the village was $16,944. About 8.39% of families and 15.29% of the population were below the poverty line, including 12.3% of those under age 18 and 26.2% of those age 65 or over.
Commerce and transportation[edit]
Agriculture remains the primary economic activity in the vicinity of Dahlgren. Other business activity includes retail sales and manufacturing, including the fabrication of custom cabinetry and countertops.
Dahlgren is located on Illinois Route 142 (formerly U.S. Route 460). The nearest access to the interstate highway system (I-64) is 10.5 km (6.5 mi) to the northwest. The Evansville Western Railway (EVWR) (formerly CSX Transportation) provides freight rail service to Dahlgren. CSX divested 200 km (120 mi) of rail line from Evansville, IN to Okawville, IL to the Paducah and Louisville Railway (PAL), an operating entity of Four Rivers Transportation, Inc., in a transaction whereby CSX sold all track, ties and track equipment to PAL and provided a 20-year lease on the right-of-way. Upon completion of the sale on 31 December 2005 PAL transferred all interests to the new Class III operating entity/subsidiary, EVWR, which began operating on 1 January 2006. CSX (formerly the Louisville & Nashville R.R.) retains title to all real estate on which the railroad is situated.
Dahlgren has no passenger services. The nearest airports providing service are Marion Williamson County Regional Airport (MWA), Evansville Dress Regional Airport (EVV) and Lambert-Saint Louis International Airport (STL). The nearest passenger rail connection (AMTRAK) is in Centralia, Illinois. Interstate bus service is available in Mount Vernon, Illinois approx 30 kilometers (19 mi) northwest.
Media and communication[edit]
The Dahlgren post office provides service to 1,538 customers in the 62828 postal (ZIP) code. Dahlgren has had no locally published newspaper since the cessation of publication of The Dahlgren Echo many years ago. The current newspaper of record is The McLeansboro Times-Leader published weekly in the county seat. Area daily newspapers available for home delivery include The Morning Sentinel (IL) (Centralia & Mt. Vernon, IL) and The Mount Vernon Register-News.
Dahlgren is in the Harrisburg, IL / Cape Girardeau, MO / Paducah, KY television Designated Market Area (DMA), currently the 78th largest television market as defined by Nielsen Media Research. Residents receive over-the-air reception of the following digital broadcast channels from network affiliates:
- ABC (WSIL) — 3.1 HD & 3.2 SD — RF channel 34
- NBC (WPSD) — 6.1 HD, 6.2 SD, 6.3 WX & 6.4 SD (KBSI early news feed/color bars) — RF channel 32
- PBS (WSIU) — 8.1 HD, 8.2 PBS World, 8.3 Create & 8.4 FM Simulcast & Public Info — RF channel 8
- CBS (KFVS) — 12.1 HD, 12.2 The CW (WQWQ) & 12.3 WX — RF channel 12
- 3ABN (W15BU-D) — 15.1 SD English, 15.2 SD Spanish, 15.3 3ABN Radio, & 15.4 Radio 74 — RF channel 15
- PBS (WUSI) — 16.1 HD, 16.2 PBS World, 16.3 Create & 16.4 FM Simulcast & Public Info — RF channel 19
- Fox (KBSI) — 23.1 HD & 23.2 My49 (WDKA) — RF channel 22
- TCT (WTCT) — 27.1 SD, 27.2 HD & 27.3 SD — RF channel 17
- MyNetworkTV (WDKA) — 49.1 SD — RF channel 49
Sinclair Broadcast Group owned both the Fox and WB affiliates in the DMA prior to the September 2006 merger of UPN and WB into a newly created CW Network and was forced by Fox to convert its WB affiliate (WDKA) into a MyNetworkTV affiliate (MY49) . This allowed Raycom Media, owner of the local CBS and UPN affiliates, to convert its UPN affiliation (WQWQ) to The CW. WQWQ is a low-power station whose analog signal was never available over the air in Dahlgren; however, it is available as ATSC digital channel 12.2. With the digital TV transition RTV, formerly ion Television/PAX, (WPXS) moved its transmitter northwest of Breese, IL in the St. Louis, MO DMA and is no longer easily available over-the-air in Dahlgren. Viewers with a rotator and suitably elevated antenna can also receive virtually all over-the-air broadcasts from Evansville, Indiana.
Cable television service (analog), previously available from Longview Communication, was terminated in 2006. Hamilton County Communications (a wholly controlled subsidiary of the Hamilton County Telephone Cooperative) purchased the cable-operating rights from Longview in 2006 although it is unclear whether they will be able to operate a cable system under current FCC rules. HCC distribute digital TV using broadband internet.
Wireless telephony services are provided by ATT Mobile, formerly Cingular, (GSM850/GSM1900), T-Mobile (GSM1900), AllTel, formerly First Cellular of Southern Illinois, (now CDMA-only although legacy GSM850 service still operates), Verizon (CDMA), Nextel Partners (iDEN), and Sprint PCS (CDMA). In 2008 Verizon announced its intention to acquire AllTel. The US Dept. of Justice and FCC approved the merger on Oct. 30th[4] and Nov. 4th,[5] 2008 respectively. Conditions of the deal require Verizon to divest itself of some 100 markets across 22 states, of which one is the Mt. Vernon/Marion cellular marketing area (CMA) in which Dahlgren is located.[6]
Local telephone and DSL service is available through the Hamilton County Telephone Cooperative (Hamilton County Communications). Wireless broadband service is provided by AllTel (EVDO Rev. A) and Verizon (EVDO Rev. A). Broadband by satellite service is available from Wild Blue and HughesNet.
Government and schools[edit]
Dahlgren is governed by a non-partisan Village President (Mayor) and six-member non-partisan Board of Trustees half of whom are elected to staggered 4-year terms in odd-numbered years. Steve Wilkerson was elected village president in 2013. The village provides basic utility services including water, sewer, and gas and contracts on a fee-for-service basis with a third-party for refuse removal.
Dahlgren is located within the Hamilton County Unit 10 school district. Elementary-age children attend Dahlgren Grade School through grade 6. Junior High School and High School students travel to the county seat of McLeansboro where a new combined school complex was completed in 2001. Dahlgren is also in Community College District #521 (Rend Lake College located Ina, Illinois) as established by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. However, university and college-age students are not restricted to attending in their local district.

Does the counter service take Landry's gift cards? Or is it just the TS restaurant. Thanks!
I researched this exact same question for last year's trip and while I never received a concrete answer, it appeared that the Landry's gift card would not be accepted at the CS location.
I hope this helps, awdwnut |

+ - 71 Percent of U.S. See Humans On Mars By 2033-> 2
Link to Original Source
Catch up on stories from the past week (and beyond) at the Slashdot story archive
Some years ago CNN did a poll [cnn.com] of Americans, and found that 64% believe aliens have contacted humans, and about half believe in alien abductions. So some of the 71% mentioned above might well expect humans on Mars in twenty years, but that's not necessarily as a result of human effort.
That said despite 64% of respondents believing that aliens have contacted humans, only 54% believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life. Either the poll's methodology was shoddy, or there are a lot of stupid people out there.
The gent who wakes up and finds himself a success hasn't been asleep.

E2Tech is thrilled to have been selected to be the Greendrinks featured non-profit in February! The event, which will be 5:30-7:30pm on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, will be hosted at TideSmart Global.
TideSmart Global, an experiential media and marketing firm, is an industry-leading group of six companies, all headquartered on a 6-acre eco-friendly campus in Falmouth, Maine. TideSmart installed one of the first electric vehicle charging stations in Maine, and the campus features 350 square feet of solar panels that power 40 percent of the campus, and numerous other green features.
An exciting addition to this month's Greendrinks is the opportunity to tour TideSmart's newest addition to their campus - the Viridescent House, the first net-energy-positive building in Maine! The Viridescent House will be a certified Passive House (or Passivhaus), a rigorous, voluntary, international standard for energy efficiency in a building. Currently, there are only a handful of net-zero buildings in the state, and this house will actually produce twice the amount of energy needed to sustain itself and therefore is a net-positive house. Read more about the Viridescent House here!
Portland Greendrinks is dedicated to creating a more environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable community by supporting local organizations, businesses, and green initiatives.
No formal registration is required for this event, but please register here so we know how many people are coming. Simply show up at TideSmart and pay at the door! The cost is $5 if you bring your own glass/mug/drinking vessel and $10 if not.
Worried about getting to the event? No problem! Portland Greendrinks has arranged two FREE Maine Brew Bus shuttles that can get you to and from the event!
Pick up location: The Craft Beer Cellar, 111 Commercial Street.
Shuttle 1: will leave The Craft Beer Cellar for Falmouth at 5:00, 5:30, and 6:00pm. Will return from Falmouth to The Craft Beer Cellar at 7:00, 7:30, and (if necessary) 8:00pm.
Shuttle 2: will leave The Craft Beer Cellar for Falmouth at 5:15, 5:45, and 6:15pm. Will return from Falmouth to The Craft Beer Cellar at 7:15, 7:45, and (if necessary) 8:15pm.
Hydropower is a key resource in Maine's energy basket and one that is on verge of expansion with new technologies, untapped potential at existing sites, and identification of new sites for small and micro facilities. Project proposals to bring Canadian hydro through Maine to dense population centers in New England are also being developed. The State is evaluating existing regulations and public policy to identify opportunities for new investment in hydropower that balances economic and environmental considerations. A new study updates the state's inventory of existing and potential hydro resources and northeastern states are taking a fresh look at the permitting, transmission, economic, and conservation challenges to more and better hydropower development.

Moms of multiple lo's...leaving kids in car.
Laura (32) Happy wife and crunchy, minimalist SAHM to
Our 5 beautiful babies born in 5 years!!
One big, happy family loving God <3
I don't feel AS bad now that my oldest is 7...I still do it here and there, but it is A LOT easier getting everyone in and out of the car at their current ages.... 7,6,5,3,1......I strap the baby in, and my 7 year old straps the 3 year old in. Everyone else can strap themselves in and out, so we can get in and out pretty quick.
BUT when my children were all younger like yours.. 4,3,1 and NB I felt horrible.... Strangers said things to me about them in the car (even though my windows were tinted, so that was weird). It is really, really hard but if you can bring them in with you it is really the best. I know in some places it is illegal to leave them in the car AT ALL..
In your situation I would probably bring them in and out, even though it is a pain I would not want to seem like a neglectful parent...

buying points?
I am interested in purchasing a Disney timeshare. I have researched it a little bit but I am still slightly confused about something. I have been advised that it does not really matter what resort I purchase the points in. For example, even if my favorite resort is the beach club or the boardwalk villas, I should buy an interest in vero beach because the points are advertised at $43 a point instead of $85 a point for the boardwalk villas. If the points are freely transferable between the resorts for stays, why should I pay twice the amount? Is the only benefit that I would get to reserve at the boardwalk villas 11 months out instead of 7 months out? Should I purchase a small amount in the boardwalk villas and combine them with a vero beach purchase? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
If it's really important for you to stay at BWV/BCV especially during Food&Wine, holidays, special events like races, etc then you really need to buy points there for the 11 month booking advantage. |
if you expect to book BWV during super-busy DVC booking periods like oct or early december at 7 months out, you may be spending $43 per pt to be very disappointed. 2) VB is cheaper for a number of reasons besides not having the 11 month advantage onsite at wdw. annual dues are much higher for VB owners. there is also an increased risk of storm damage for a coastal resort - meaning even higher annual dues. but if you buy VB to book BWV preferred (nonboardwalk) view rooms during feb or may or something...my guess is that that plan will usually work out ok (not counting the annual dues issues). |
thanks for the quick replies. Like I said I am new to timeshares and I am trying to get as much information as possible prior to buying one.
The maintenance fees for Vero Beach (and Hilton Head) are much higher than for the WDW resorts. For Vero Beach, it's $7.14 and for Boardwalk Villas, it's $5.84. That means each year, you will pay that much per point to DVC. Maintenance fees increase each year, around 3-5%. The home resort advantage means that you can book 11 months out at the resort where the points are owned. If you own 50 points at Vero Beach and 50 points at Boardwalk, you can book those 50 points 11 months out at their specific resorts. You could only use the Vero Beach points for a Boardwalk reservation at 7 months or less from checkin. If you plan to during a busy time, there may not be availability at 7 months out. Busy times at DVC are not necessarily the same as busy times for cash reservations. Lots of DVC owners like to go in October/November/early December for example. Buy where you want to stay. There is a wealth of information on this board. |
definitely calculate the annual dues for each property--you may pay way more for Vero. Saratoga is supposedly the best value (combining pts and maintenance). Some people have no problem booking times at 7 mo from what I have heard. We are probably going to do what you mentioned--buy enough points at our fave resorts to be able to go to them whenever we want every other year or every third year, and then add some more at Saratoga (which looks lovely by the way) for general 7 month use.
Buy VB or HHI if you really want to book the Grand Villa or Beach Cottage there or you want to go there in the height of the summer months. Don't buy those locations if you want to save money. It is getting more difficult to book something at seven months out. If you at least purchase something right at WDW, you will at least be able to book WDW at eleven months out and attempt to change the reservation at seven months out.
Best advice is to purchase at the resort you wouldn't mind staying at if you couldn't change your reservation at seven months out. And if you can't book at eleven months out, you might as well resign yourself to AKV, SSR or OKW. |
As a Boardwalk owner, I highly suggest that you buy at the Boardwalk. SSR may give the most bang for the buck, but BWV is known for giving the owner the best overall package.
Even though we are gung ho for BWV, we have still not stayed in the preferred non-boardwalk view which is 60% of the resort. Plus, if you tend to stay standard view, then BWV maintenance fees begin to be in line with other resorts. IMHO, the std view is as good as or better than the higher point views at other resorts. You will have some trouble booking BWV boardwalk and standard views inside the 7 month window much of the time. |
And the boardwalk view is spectacular!
To each his own..,
Sitting on your balcony, eating a muffin watching the day come alive with a tranquil view of Crescent Lake Spaceship earth , and Y&BC can't be beat. Taking a boat to the studios or even to Epcot after a long week can't be beat. Being a short stroll from World showcase can't be beat. I'm not saying BWV is perfect by any stretch. I have wondered if I needed bread crumbs down those long hallways, but they are AIR CONDITIONED! Besides, OP mentioned he likes BWV. I happen to agree with him! It's an awesome resort! My point is that the awesomeness lies in the 40% that is easier to get from 7-11 months out. If he loves it... He should buy it. |
ok now I HAVE to have BWV :)
Should I be? Just let me know! :lmao:

text: Fall baking is in full swing and for many that means sourdough loaves and treats such as this. For those with food sensitivities, these recipes are few and far between. But you can have your soured grains and eat them too with this treat for a chilly fall morning. This recipe can be adapted in many ways with flavorings like raisin-cinnamon or blueberry-lemon, so bake on!

Pizza Inn, based in The Colony, Texas, has opened a new concept in Fort Worth that offers smaller, cheaper and faster pizzas.
Pie five pizza co. features 9-inch pizzas prepared in less than 5 minutes via the High h Conveyor 2020 oven, manufactured by Turbo Chef Technologies, another Texas-based company.
According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, pie five includes an ordering setup similar to Chipotle, where customers walk through a line picking out toppings for their personal pizza, which is then quickly baked by the time they reach the POS.
The concept is smaller than the Pizza Inn buffet restaurants – about 1,250 square feet compared to 4,000 square feet – and offers both sit-down and carry-out options.
Pie five's dough is made in-house, similarly to Pizza Inn, and its menu includes beer and wine.
CEO Charlie Morrison told the Star-Telegram that the concept is expected to be franchised soon and that he believes it can grow by 100 units a year.

This is a great place for breakfast when you are in the area of Blue Ball....My wife and I like the family atmosphere and friendly staff of this diner.. great value!
Locals like to go to Town Hall for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Stopped for dinner during the Blue Ball Cruise event. Restaurant had steady flow of customers. Service was fast and food was big portions and very good.
My daughter recommended it to me for a coffee hangout. Not only is the coffee is good but breakfast and lunch were delicious. Enjoyed mingling with the locals. The atmosphere is very happy among the customers and staff. It's apparently a favorite among the locals. I visited three days straight and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Felt welcomed even though... More
Before we called this a regular stop, we must have driven right by hundreds of times on the way to or from somewhere else. Often on the way to lunch or dinner, never even considering it an option. Once, very hungry - we decided to give it a try - and now we laugh about some of the unfamiliar "specials"... More
Have lunch for the first time and at first glance the prices were a step back in time. Just know that many things are a la carte. I had roast beef sandwich on toast and was offered Cole slaw (sure!) and French fries (sure!)...did not come with sandwich. Add on ice tea. Same thing with my husband's tiny hamburger. $21... More
We took friends for a drive around Lancaster co and were on our way to another restaurant when we passed by the Town Hall restaurant. I just finished reading about them in Philadelphia Magazine and quickly decided to try a meal here. Best decision in a while. Corn chicken pie was the special with two sides. I had fried chicken... More
We wanted a local experience while in the area and this was it. The place is small and basic. We arrived at 2pm, so we caught them short handed. They were still pretty quick with service considering there was one cook and one waitress and we were a group of 13. The food was really good, but the pie we... More
Family owned and run restaurant. I love how the children still let their dad be a part even though he can barely walk. So sweet to see the family working together. Great breakfast and wonderful people! Be prepared with cash or check! They don't accept cards.
We stopped in for lunch on a shopping trip. On entering the building (the fire hall) the entrance could use a good cleaning -- a little elbow grease would make this look much better. Inside the older tables and chairs are in decent but worn condition. The walls are faded and dirty and the ceiling tiles need cleaning or replacement.... More
That is exactly what you will find when stepping inside this Restaurant! I've been here twice for Lunch and both times my food was GOOD! The Restaurant was full of Local people enjoying themselves with plates piled high of homestyle cooking! You are greeted with a smile and it is easy to leave with a smile on your face. Prices... More

Went to the States and got a 30 pack of beer for $20... Normally I'd have to pay $40 for a 24 pack. Junk food is cheap as fuck there too... No wonder there are so many fat people using electric scooters.
I'm Canadian and i am. Though I know what you mean, I love going to the states for how cheap it is to be shitty for myself.
Um, no it's not. I'm very jealous of your cheap beer. The government in Ontario has a monopoly on alcohol and charges out the ass for it, it sucks. People being insecure as fuck ITT.
Yeah, when the job market isn't paying well enough for people to afford healthier options, shit happens.
Currently in New York,and one thing I've noticed is there's a McDonalds on literally every block,what the fuck?
That's because the government in the US does not steal so much from it citizens who want to buy things like food, clothes, etc ....
That's how our corporate masters like us, fat and drunk. That's also why they don't want to pay for our health insurance.
I don't know why I find obnoxious, unabashed American patriotism so hilarious but I do Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
http://globalnews.ca/news/1140421/whats-a-24-of-molson-cost-a-pan-canadian-comparison/ You Ontarians don't know how good you have it. $35 for a 24 of Molsen in Ontario, but $43 here in Nova Scotia.
You should move to Eastern Europe. You can drink all the beer you want all day long at home and it will cost you $5 ... if you can handle that much beer.
@Pokerstar87 should move to Canada to dry out for a while, where he wouldn't be able to afford to drink.
I'm pretty much tired of being drunk all the time. Completely burnt out on drinking. Now I'm not going to be retarded and claim I'm never going to drink or get drunk again, but I think I'm pretty much getting passed the whole getting drunk everyday thing. Yesterday is the first day off from work I had in 3+ years that I didn't have a drop of alcohol

Welcome to the Army Rumour Service, the UK's largest military community
Cuts to General Staff
it seems the red tabs are under attack. Whilst we have more senior officers than needed for our combat units have the politicians forgotten, as they strive to win votes, than many red tabs are busy representing UK defence industries across the world and representing/ flogging UK
Wish the NHS would do the same. -
60K Army being touted....
A Whitehall row has erupted after a former defence minister said officials were secretly looking at dramatically cutting the British Army to as few as 60,000 soldiers.
Sir Nick Harvey said the radical reduction was being examined by the Ministry of Defence because the department faces an impending "financial crunch" after the election.
The Liberal Democrat MP, who was Armed Forces minister until 2012, said possible cuts were being tested because the defence budget was likely to be badly hit again by austerity cuts made by any new parliament. -
Cushiest Billet - a Tri-Service competition
What is the Armed Forces Cushiest Billet?
I think I've found it! - How about 'Captain of HMS Victory'?
What on Earth can he do all day? His ship doesn't go anywhere and he has a crew of about half a dozen Mess waiters.
Good work, if you can get it.

I am in LOVE with this stuff. I have long, colour treated hair which is fine, oily at the roots and dry at the ends. For years my hair felt coarse and frizzy and no amount of deep conditioner, serum or natural oils made any difference. Fed up, I thought I would give this stuff a try and I am so happy I did!
I was a bit shocked at the price, it cost about £30 but it was quite a large bottle. It feels like a silicone serum, much like any other, but this made my hair bouncy, smooth, light and shiny. Strangely, I can use a lot of this and it doesn't make my hair look oily or heavy unlike other serums. I put it on wet hair, comb it through with a fine tooth comb and smooth it with my fingertips before blow drying. Afterwards I add a bit more for good measure.
Make sure you buy from a salon and not online as there are fakes out there. Also try pure Argan oil, it is really good as a treatment.

I was advised to buy Moroccanoil for my hair extensions- because they're real human hair but are no longer receiving any nutrients the hair can become really dry and tatty if you don't look after them, my technician swore by this stuff for keeping them conditioned.
She was right of course it is a massive help, since having them out I've continued to use it occasionally on my own hair- the best thing about this product is it smells fit, like seriously delicious smelling and you can use it on wet or dry hair so it's versatile.
It is very expensive, the cheapest I found it was £30 for 100ml on ebay, it has lasted ages tho, I'm about 3/4 through the bottle and I've had it maybe a year, you don't have to use a lot as it goes far.
*TIP wash your hair in the evening but instead of normal conditioner work a generous dollop of Moroccanoil through towel dried hair from roots to tips, pop on a shower cap and then a bonnet or a Velcro- wrap towel over the top to keep the heat from your head on the hair (this keeps the cuticles open so the oil can get into the hair shaft) leave it in overnight and rinse out the next morning for gorgeous soft hair- it might need a little shampoo if your hair is naturally greasy but the condition will still be improved
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My hair is thick asian hair which I have chosen not to 'layer' or thin out (as want to grow out the layers), so after washing, it has the tendency to frizz out and I end up looking like a cocker spaniel! Also I blow dry my hair (don't like the feeling of it drying naturally) and straighten the ends to control my frizz. So I needed something desperately to help tame/calm my hair! Like many users, I bought this product after the many raves in the reviews here. I was definitely not disappointed!
I bought this from hair house warehouse (for those in Australia, I think they are also stocked at Price attack and most hairdressers) for $50. I took a lippie off due to the price, I wish it was a bit cheaper!
But for the price, I feel like the product definitely works. After washing my hair, I wait till my hair is almost dry, but still damp. At first I was a bit stingy with how much I used, but now my routine is 2 pumps to start with around my whole head, 1 pump on my left hand hair tips, and 1 pump on my right hand hair tips. Then, I start blowdrying, and the magic begins. My hair, whole blowdrying feels so SOFT and tangle free which never happens! Once dry, my hair is transformed! It is soft, not frizzy and in a weird way, sleek like those hair models on TV advertisements. It is bizarre that my hair can be like this! It could just be the amount of oil I am using, however I feel like the feeling carries onto the next day.
The smell is delicious by the way, my hair smells very salon-y (in a good way)!
Also, I've tried putting this on my dry hair and don't like it as much as putting it in damp hair, as I find you have to really work it in to get rid of that 'oil' feeling.
I honestly brought this purely for the hype. I'm not even sure what it actually did for my hair.
It smelt great, it didn't weigh my hair down but that is pretty much all I can say.
I didn't notice any improvements in my hair. I have finished my bottle of Moroccan Oil and I have since started using baby oil in my hair every morning and have been getting so many people asking me about my hair and getting so many flattering compliments.
I love my moroccan oil, I can't do without it. I first started using it about a year ago when I saw it in my mother's cupboard and decided to steal a bit and see if it was worth the buy. I have very long, thick, wavy hair that can become very dry at the ends and frizzy if it doesn't get its nightly dose of moroccan oil. Since using it I just don't have these problems anymore and I am constantly asked what products I use on my hair to make it look so healthy and soft. Before moroccan oil I was using something called Oil of Marrakesh, which was a good product but nowhere near as good as this one. I would say give it a go if you suffer from dry hair, it will help it look healthy without the greasy or feel heavy that some oils leave you with. Also, it smells divine, which my partner could also attest to, considering the amount of times I've caught him casually sniffing my hair.
This product is meh. Nothing special. Overpriced and a bit hyped for what it is. First off, this isn't an "oil"....it's a serum. For those of you whith curly hair wisdom. You know you cannot slather silicones on curls....oil yes...silicones no no. Going along with the hype, even though I knew better. Alas! Yep....and like the silicone laden serum this is, it pulled out every single curl I had and left me with a soft, poofy, frizzy mass atop my head. KeyWord "soft"...I guess. Doesn't moisturize, doesn't even add that much shine? Smells rather nice though. On straightened hair it works as fine as any other serum. Nothing life changing. Ummm, I'm seriously curious to why this stuff is so popular when there are hella better legit "oils" on the market? Bamboozled lately?
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this stuff! It makes my hair feel so soft and smooth and it smells amazing! A very tiny bit goes a long way for me so it lasts forever. I only use this on the ends of my hair and it cuts down my blow drying time. I have highlighted somewhat damaged ends and this product is a life saver! I would definitely repurchase again even though it is on the pricier side.
This is definitely the gold standard of hair oils. I have tried a lot of similar products from high end to low, including Fekkai Glossing Crème, Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil, John Frieda Frizz Ease, and Proclaim Glossing Polish and nothing works like Moroccan Oil. I have shoulder length, thick, highlighted hair and about a dime-sized amount of Moroccan Oil leaves it incredibly soft and smooth. Other products Ive tried have been ok, but they either dont smooth enough or they leave my hair oily and greasy. Moroccan Oil is probably one of the priciest options, but it delivers real results, which I think makes it worth it. You can usually find small trial size bottles for a reasonable price, so it doesnt cost much to try it and see if it works for you, I think youll be happy with the results.
So after using this for a long time, i've decided to write the review. I have very fine, soft, and straight hair. however, b/c it's really long, it does get tangled a bit after a shower and so sometimes can be hard to comb through. I've kept a small bottle of this in my toiletries bag when I travel (I travel a lot so i keep a travel toiletries bag in my carry-on bag at all times). I always find that whenever I use this, my hair always looks and performs great and is much easier to comb through when wet. Meanwhile at home, I use the loreal oleo serum (the one in the thick yellowish glass bottle) since it looks like it has the same basic silicone ingredients. after about using that for a bit over 6 months, i realized that it simply does not perform as well as whenever i use moroccanoil during travel. It never gave it extra slip so combing through my wet hair was difficult, and it never seem to leave my hair as smooth and sleek. I had stuck with it b/c i was intent on using it all up and b/c i didn't want to spend the money on a full sized bottle for home use. I finally bit the bullet 3 days ago and bought the full sized one and this entire week my hair has looked great. definitely recommend it. I just wish it wasn't so expensive and also that the pump worked better (the loreal pump is GREAT b/c you can control how much you pump out).

Still revolutionary, man Marijuana legalization in Washington state and Colorado has led to widespread speculation that pot tourism is about to take off pending the inevitable legal showdown over the supremacy of federal drug laws. Published reports said ski resorts in particular stand to benefit because marijuana works wonders for skiers' aches and pains. Legalized pot also would make Seattle's annual "Hempfest" all the more, well, festive. We happen to agree with Denver's tourism chief that pot legalization will make the states less attractive to vacationing families, as well as business conventions and visitors. Still, we can hear bells going off in Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's head. Full legalization of pot in Connecticut would be in keeping with his desire to boost tourism tax revenues.

About Me Midrange Shopper
Your experience may differ from mine. The bit I received had a very hard time drilling 3/4" deep holes in Baltic Birch plywood. I only needed to drill three holes but half way through the second hole I gave up. I inspected the bit and saw a discoloring at the edge of the Chip Breakers, which suggests I overheated the bit and it lost it's temper. I didn't have another bit if that size, so I sharpened it with slip stones and finished my three holes. It cut well after my sharpening. I believe the bit I purchased had a unexceptionably low heat tolerance. All the reviews on these WR bits I read were very positive but my experience was quite negative.

But the same arguments for not allowing carry on base can be the same arguments for not allowing carry off base. It al boils down to personal and professional discipline.
I have 20 years active duty, 20 years civil service and I would like to be able to carry from home to work. I'm not as concerned with carrying while on base but more concerned with my commute, especially when the base closes the gate and you sit on a public street with the rest of the ducks.

Romney exaggerates his past successes
C.R. Lahiri, Naugatuck
Although the second presidential debate was more entertaining than the first, I felt Republican challenger Mitt Romney should have shown more deference to the office of the presidency, if not President Obama. It was very rude at times.

Working Paper | HBS Working Paper Series | 2015 A Methodology for Operationalizing Enterprise Architecture and Evaluating Enterprise IT Flexibility Alan MacCormack, Robert Lagerstrom and Carliss Y. Baldwin We propose a network-based methodology for operationalizing enterprise architecture. Our methodology is based upon using a "Design Structure Matrix" (DSM) to capture the coupling between different components in a firm's architecture, including business and technology-related aspects. We apply our methodology to data gathered in a large pharmaceutical firm. We show that this methodology helps to identify layers in the firm's architecture associated with different technologies (e.g., applications, servers and databases). We also show that it reveals the main "flow of control" within the architecture, as denoted by the classification of components into Core, Peripheral, Shared and Control elements. We analyze the cost of change for a subset of software applications within this architecture. We find that the cost of change is associated with the degree to which applications are highly coupled. We show the best measure of coupling that predicts the cost of change is one that captures all the direct and indirect connections between components. We believe our work constitutes an important step in making the concept of enterprise architecture more operational, improving a firm's ability to analyze its architecture, understand its performance implications, and adapt and improve it in the future.

Case | HBS Case Collection | December 2014 HomeAway: Organizing the Vacation Rentals Industry Rory McDonald, Feng Zhu and Cheng Gao In less than ten years, co-founders Brian Sharples and Carl Shepherd had transformed HomeAway from just another Internet startup into the leading vacation rentals marketplace in the world—a global online platform that linked customers seeking vacation home rentals to the property owners and managers who supplied them. The case traces HomeAway's origins through IPO and beyond, documenting the company's acquisition-led growth and the core elements of its subscription-based business model. By 2014, incumbent travel giants and high-profile startups like Airbnb began to take notice of the vacation rentals sector. To stay ahead, HomeAway initiated a pilot collaboration to show some of its listings on Expedia's site. Sharples was also considering a new commission-based revenue model that promised to attract a broader swath of property listers but risked undermining HomeAway's existing business.

In only about a week and a half, this foundation turned my skin into a blotchy mess, with deep pimples certain places:chin, forehead, cheeks. I usually don't break out like this, and I haven't bad blotchy skin in quite a while. Taking two lippies off for this. So much for "Extra-Comfort". Not only does the scent, in my opinion, not bring me any positive emotions, but it also likely is the cause of my breakouts, and on top of that: perfume irritates the skin. Irritation causes inflammation. Inflammation causes ageing. I don't think any scent is worth ruining my skin for.
- If you're oily, don't even bother trying this. It will NOT suit you. Even on my slightly dry skin this is pretty damn glowy, bordering on slightly oily. It clearly states on the packaging that this is a moisturizing foundation, and that it has argan oil in it.
- This does definitely not give a full coverage, more like a solid medium. Even on my good skin (I don't NEED to wear foundation - concealer is really enough) it doesn't cover the slight hyperpigmentation, which I usually don't even bother covering with concealer.
- It's not a very long-lasting foundation: On a scale of 4, I would probably give it a 3 on my skin. It doesn't break up (yay!), but it slowly disappears from my skin.
- It has a pretty strong smell! It is quite perfumy, I'd say in the range of Guerlain's Parure Extreme
- Colours for only light to medium/olive skin tones
It is a quite thin cream in a really heavy and bulky glass jar. I really do understand why everyone was saying this is not for travel. It might be pretty to look at, but it takes some time to unscrew the lid, take out the seal, scoop out the appropriate amount of foundation and repeat in reverse. Oh, and of course repeat, if you need a little more foundation. The seal on the jar (not the lid) leaks slightly.
I have good skin, and I need only small amounts of this. I have tried 3 methods of application: fingers, sponge, Real Techniques powder brush (the one that has a dense, small kabuki-top).
- application with fingers isn't very easy - the cream is so thin that it doesn't spread well. On top of that, it looks oilier applied this way - the heat from the fingers and the rubbing seem to change the foundation slightly
- a sponge works (always wet the sponge, squeeze the water out, THEN use it for foundation - doesn't matter what type of sponge this is). It does absorb some of the expensive product though
- a brush works the best for me, as long as my skin isn't flaking (then I use a sponge)
The colours are pretty good in this foundation, except there are no dark ones - it stops on a medium/olive colour. I'm about an NC15-20, and the colour 208 Sand fit pretty perfectly for my very yellow, light skin. Likely because I don't need a thick layer of this.
The finish of this is very natural/smooth, both with the small amount I use and even if you apply a little more. If you're wondering: "but doesn't all foundations look natural, as long as you apply a small enough amount?". No, actually, not all, even on my very even-textured skin; one example is Kanebo Fluid Finish - it gives my skin a bad, textured appearance. Try to apply less of this in areas that move a lot, like between your eyebrows, under your eyes. Personally, I didn't experience this sinking into my laugh.lines or forehead-lines though.
The finish of this one depends highly on the moisturizer you use. If you have one that absorbs fully before you apply your foundation, the finish will be slightly glowy, if you have one that leaves you a little shiny, you're likely to look like a grease-ball right away. I definitely feel the need to powder over this foundation, and I have slightly dry skin.
Despite the super-high amount of perfume, this has not broken me out yet.
Would I buy this again? No. It satisfied my craving for wanting to know how this foundation was, but this has too many cons for me to repurchase.
- moisturizes
- looks natural
- I found a decen colour for my very yellow/very light olive skin (bu apply this lightly!)
- very strong smell/a lot of perfume
- can look greasy
wear-time isn't very good, even set with powder and with Clarins Fix Spray over
- bulky, heavy packaging - it''s such a thin texture that I would like to see it in a tube, at least
- expensive (only reason I bought it was because I got it 35% off)
If I could recommend a different foundation instead of this one, I would recommend Artdeco Rich Treatment Foundation - it actually does what I expected from this Clarins foundation. The Artdeco moisturizes, wears better, has no perfume, sinks absolutely minimally into lines (quite less than the Clarins one), has a natural finish - actually probably better than the Extra-Comfort... but has few colours. If you are one of the lucky ones that can find your colour, the Artdeco one is better, in my opinion. The packaging is slightly annoying though - a glass jar with a spatula inside. The formula is also thicker than the Clarins one. Also, if you use foundation under your eyes and it creases, try Too Faced Shadow Insuranse there - it helps Me at least.
Really love this! Smooth, easy to spread and sets to a natural soft focused finish. Scent is gorgous. (Fragrance does not bother me - unless it stinks). I have redness and sensitive skin and I find this foundation to be soothing. Coverage is med - full, not cakey. Can become oily in several hours like every other foundation I have, but a simple blot with a tissue takes care of that. This lasts on me about 5 hours before disappearing - that's amazing for me, usually I'm touching up after 3 hours. Face looks smooth and never cracks or seeps into lines. I prefer cream foundations cause I feel they cover better and don't need to keep putting layers on like I do from liquids. This reminds me of Germaine Monteil from the 1980's. Love this. Just need to see how it holds up in summer, but it is a light weight base.

Just got this foundation and it feels wonderful. Plumping and smoothing. Very good for mature skin.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was introduced to this foundation at the Clarins counter when buying their new concealer. I have combination skin but the heating and air conditioning at work made my skin very dehydrated and I needed something very moisturizing and long lasting at the same time.
I told the MA that I love Estee Lauder foundations, especially Futuriste, which is supposed to be discontinued soon, and asked if Clarins had something similar. She gave me a sample of this foundation and I tried it the next day, not expecting much as I have never been impressed by their foundations. The colour of the sample happened to be quite a good match for my complexion and, surprise surprise, the texture was amazing!
It is a sort of gel-like cream, not heavy at all and when you apply it on the skin it is more like applying a moisturizer than a foundation. Once on the skin it is almost invisible. The coverage is medium-full but also sheer if you apply it sparingly or mix it with your moisturizer.
The finish is satiny, not too matt and not too dewy, very natural considering the coverage. It doesnt highlight pores and lines, it doesnt cake or crease, for this reason I can also use it under my eyes. The skin feels hydrated, tightened and plumped. It smells pleasant fresh, something like cucumber and floral.
One thing I love is that it is quite long lasting. After few hours only my nose needs a touch up but the rest of my face looks fine. Applying powder on the top gives it even more coverage and lasting power without looking cakey. Only in very hot humid weather it started to melt and become too dewy.
Another thing I love is that it doesnt contain chemical sunscreens but only Titanium Dioxide, and this also in an amount that doesnt reflect white on pictures.
My only problem is the colour range. I had initially 108 Sable which in the jar looked neutral beige, even a bit too light for me, but once on my skin it darkened in a warm way. So I bought 105 Nude, which looks quite light peachy-beige and is a better match for my pale winter skin. Now I have two jars but I plan to use both, one in winter and one in summer and to mix them to achieve the perfect nuance. Both together will make 60ml which is not too much, especially considering that you can use it with heavy hand, especially on the zones where you need more coverage.
The two big deterrents are the price, unjustified expensive, and the glass jar with a not very tight stopper under the lid which makes a mess every time I use it but, also for hygienic reasons, I have decanted it in a smaller jar and refill every two weeks.
For reference, 103 Ivory (very light neutral beige with yellow undertones) and 105 Nude (light cool beige with peach undertone) are available only in the UK so it is worth buying it online. 108 Sable (medium-light neutral-warm beige) is comparable to the new EL Double Wear 1N2 Ecru whereas 107 Beige (medium-light cool beige) is quite pink and can look even darker than 108 on neutral or warm skin. 109 Wheat (medium cool-beige) is again very pink-deep-beige and I guess it would look gorgeous when Im tanned when my perfect match is the old EL DW in 3C2 Pebble.

I bought this recently, and I'm really impressed!
Its a thick cream consistency but blends into the skin beautifully. Coverage is medium, and finish is very natural & satiny. On my normal/dry skin it looks extremely skin-like, but perfected! I would wear this on a special occasion or during the day, as I get good coverage as well as a natural finish.
Ive tried a couple of application techniques, but it works best with fingers... there was too much coverage with a brush, and it looked a little too heavy.
Cons - its really expensive! I paid 43, the most I've ever spent on a foundation!
Packaging looks really luxe, its in a heavy glass jar with a gold lid. This is not my favourite, as I much prefer a tube or a bottle with a pump for reasons of hygiene. I use a q-tip to scoop out a little product.
I' was given a tester of this to try when trying to decide between the two full coverage foundations made by clarins... Everlasting and this one extra comfort. It comes in a jar which is not too hygienic compared to the everlasting pump. This was moisturising but definately not full coverage, more medium coverage. Staying power was also not too good. I put this on at 10 and it was melting by 4pm. I definitely prefer the everlasting over this one!

I bought this product on the sales person's recommendation. I am combination skin, but I have been very dry this past winter. My regular Guerlain foundation is not doing much for me these days... I must say I hated it from the beginning! The jar packaging is horrible... the price $60 in Canada is completely overpriced for very little product and a massive glass jar! But the worse part is that the foundation did not last even an hour! It made me incredibly oily and it was just a mess. This foundation is NOT for combination skin type (although Clarins says it works for everyone). Avoid the pain and look for something else...
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I had a sample of this in the color "112 Amber", which was only slightly darker than my usual foundations. What I liked about it: It melts nicely into the skin, no matter in which way I applied it - fingers, brush, sponge - it always had a nice finish, delivers quite much coverage while keeping the skin moisturized and soft. Especially now during the cold season, I appreciated the glowy, beautiful finish. But unfortunately, it´s just too heavy for my skin - it´s really very nourishing and creamy, and even though it didn´t make me break out, I looked quite shiny after few hours. So - for somebody with very dry skin, I guess it would be perfect.
I had never used Clarins foundation before...but on my hunt for the perfect foundation to suit my dry, dehydrated, aging, lackluster winter skin, this foundation kept popping up. It came highly recommended, but it's not yet available in the USA so I but the bullet and ordered from the UK. I was nervous but now I see why this foundation is getting great reviews...it's wonderful!!
It is a fairly thick cream but the texture is neither heavy nor greasy. It is super easy to apply and I have gotten great results with many different brushes and my fingers alike. It spreads over the skin easily and feels nourishing like a good moisturizer, also, it doesn't get staunchy or accentuate pores like many other thick cream formulas I've tried. Coverage can be sheered out to light or built up to medium and while it covers the red in my cheeks, I do need a seperate concealer for under my eyes. It wears wonderfully, stayed put even in my shine-prone t-zone, and makes my lines/imperfections less visible (I'm guessing due to the hydration factor) while blending seamlessly into my skin. I am right around nc20-23 right now and got shade 103 which is actually a bit too light...but I like this foundation so much I've been warming it up with a bit of bronzer or a drop of Soleil tan de chanel sheer illuminating fluid just until my jar of shade 105 arrives which I suspect will be my match ((I will update if not...it seems shade 104 is not available in this formula for some reason)).
I only have 2 complaints about this foundation: I hate the scent. I really just hate it tons...but it fades rather quickly so it's not a deal breaker. It's not a perfumed scent, but more of a fresh scent reminiscent of cucumbers mixed with something I just can't put my finger on. I usually prefer fresher scents, but this one really isn't up my alley. Secondly, the packaging. I can't help it...I complain repeatedly, yet I'm forever drawn to these foundations in elegant glass jars! It's a nice heavy glass jar with a sleek gold screw-on lid and a frosted finish that's quite attractive...but I make a terrible mess with jars...period. The sanitary issue isn't what concerns me, it's basically my inability not to get foundation everywhere while replacing the stopper and then the lid! Alas, my 3 favorite foundation formulas are housed in jars...so it is what it is! My theory is that some things are just worth the mess...and this is one of them!
Bottom line: if you have dry/dehydrated skin, aging skin like mine that's lost some of it's luster and needs nourished, or even skin on the dry side that is a bit shiny in places...I think this foundation would be a beautiful fit. It's actually reasonably priced in my opinion...but if you're in the US, it'll cost you a bit more to order internationally OR you can wait it out until Spring 2014 when it is released stateside (as per Clarins USA rep). I couldn't wait and I'm not regretting it a bit! The big shipping fee was palpable once I thought of how much I might have spent trying to find a formula that does what Extra Comfort does :). I will update with any changes but for now it's a huge thumbs up!!

This foundation is great for winter time when my skin gets a little drier yet I still want a healthy glow. I have tried most if the Clarins foundations as I love their skincare, However this is not my favorite foundation they do but I think it looks lovely on the skin. The best part is that it is super hydrating and it gives the skin a lovely glow. I have used this product on more mature skin and I think it looks a lot better then on a young skin. If you mix a little bit of the Clarins Double Serum with the foundation it creates the most flawless face ever!!
Definitely a great foundation for dry skin and more mature skin.
The packaging is great because you can get every last but of makeup out.
Thumbs up from me!
