I love using this product! It provides moisture that is on par with high-end masks and conditioners that cost much, much more than this. It gives great slip and detangles like a dream, leaves my hair positively silky all the way down to the ends. Reduces frizz, adds shine and manageability. Lovely scent and texture as well.
It's only about $6 but the container is small (6oz. jar) so you don't get a lot of product, that's my only complaint. This works beautifully, will repurchase again and again!

works really well! I was actually surprised. love how rich and creamy it is made my over processed hair soft for a few days. 👍
Okay so I was looking for a good cheap mask , me being a hairdresser something about this product made me think it was okay to use ! And my intuition struck true ! Usually when my hair is dry I'll put some of the masks on the pieces of my hair I feel are the dryest( my fried bangs!!!) , then after 10 minutes or so I'll shampoo , condition , and then reapply the mask all over my wet hair for about 5 minutes . The results are amazing my hair feels super soft and shiny and lasts about 5 days or until I have to wash my hair again! It has turned my dry thick hair into lustrous shiny silky hair !! I have been pairing this with the hair finity and cvs hair skin and nails pills and my hair is growing rapidly !!! I love this product ! Even down to the smell!! I am afraid though to leave it on over night , due to the way the product works so well in little time . I think that it will cause breakage if left over night due to overproteinization ! I never tried but won't test it out !! love this product anyone with over processed , colored hair , dry hair I reccommend highly !!!!

I absolutely love this product! By far my favorite drugstore hair mask. My hair is long, medium to thick straight and dry. This does the job really well. It saves you from trimming your ends. Within my first use of this my hair was soft, no tangles and it was very manageable to work with. It makes your hair look healthy, I will definitely keep on buying this product.
I was hoping for good results because of the positive reviews. The only good thing about this product for me, was the price. I used it on my hair before and after bleaching it. Prior to bleaching, I had healthy and strong brown hair, and when I used it, it did nothing for me. After double bleach process, my hair obviously fried and severely damaged--again did nothing. Better results with other deep conditioners.
Anti-frizz products normally don't work for my hair, especially in the New York humidity. But this mask does the unthinkable, and actually works to decrease my frizz a little bit. It's not totally gone, but my hair is moisturized and much smoother.
The only problem is that it comes in a jar -- to keep the top layer from getting sticky, you need to make sure you shut the jar firmly every time you open it. There also isn't a lot of product in one jar -- I went through it pretty quickly (about a month and a half), and it's very rare that I get through hair products at all.
I'm almost at the bottom of the jar and this was a disappointment.
I used it as directed on my highlighted hair as a mask and also just as a regular conditioner. It doesn't feel heavy or make my hair greasy which was good, only I think my hair might even be drier, which is bad...next!

NOT CONDITIONING FOR MY COLOR TREADED HAIR. Just makes ur hair grow faster, gave it a tryif u wanna grow longer hair.
Background: I have waist length, wavy, dry hair that I have finally gotten to good condition. Now I've just been searching for ways to upkeep it and make it shinier and give it as much moisture as possible. My hair does not respond well to most oils, but really likes silicones. This leave-in has a combination of both.
I am going to be honest and say I wasn't going to leave a great review for this.. at first. I waited to review it however because my SO would always ask me, "What did you do to your hair? It is so soft and shiny." literally every time after and ONLY after I used this mask.
I use it in the shower once a week (had about 3 uses now) and each result is getting better. Each result has been soft hair, but I am just now noticing an increase in shine. It has more product than I was initially expecting as well and smells lovely without being strong.
I can't say I will repurchase once I run out but that's only because I really like HEAVY conditioners (the only brand of conditioners that I've liked long term are Tresemme's) but I believe for most people this will give them a satisfactory result and help improve the quality of their hair.

Over the past few months my hair has been quite dry despite my constant efforts, such as minimal washing and use of heat tools. I purchased this after seeing it a friend's house. The product works wonders and I have noticed a huge difference in my hair's texture and shine. I don't follow the recommended weekly use, but instead as more of a daily treatment. My only complaint is that in some places, the price is a bit high, but that just may be my inner cheap skate getting in the way.

What if technology could undermine drug violence in Brazil?
(Read article summary)A debate in Rio de Janeiro focuses on how access to information and technology among low-income youth might weaken the drug trade and empower young people in favelas.
Felipe Dana/AP
• A version of this post ran on the author's blog, riorealblog.com. The views expressed are the author's own.
Al Jazeera and the Associated Press recently reported on drug dealers who've decided to stop selling crack in two large favelas of Rio de Janeiro. One of the many questions this unusual news brings up is the actual state of drug trafficking in Rio. The question is a central one, as we approach the mega-events [like the World Cup and Olympics], as the number of police pacification units mounts (up to 26 as of this week), and as journalists make statements such as:
Let's stop kidding ourselves: Rio will never be safe. The violence can only be contained, and only through random good fortune. I've seen it from both sides: with the cops in body armor and with the drug traffickers who control the favelas, blowing the life expectancy graph if they pass 20.
How solid is the business, really?
We often think of the drug trade as monolithic bad guys who are just there, who may fight among themselves, and change addresses with the arrival of a police pacification unit, but whose methods and overall grip are an urban constant. But, according to a former top police commander [Mario Sergio Duarte, cited by the AP], "dealers turned to crack when their other business started losing ground within the city".

A It Forward Memorabilia Donation Programs Energize Your Field
The annual Oakland A's Community Fund Golf Classic was held on August 21, 2014. Current and former A's players attended the event, which raised $100,000 for the A's Community Fund through the tournament, along with silent and live auctions. Next season's event will be held on May 14, 2015; sponsorship packages are not available at this time.
On July 23, 2014, raised $29,189 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation during the 15th Annual Root Beer Float Day. Oakland A's players, local celebrities, and various Bay Area radio and television personalities served Root Beer Floats.
Biz Markie, legendary hip-hop and beatbox artist, was also on hand to make root beer floats for fans and threw out the game's ceremonial first pitch.
Since 2003, the A's have raised over $414,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation through Root Beer Float Day.
The annual A's Breast Cancer Awareness Day has benefitted the American Cancer Society, Cancer Prevention Institute of California, and Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Over the past 16 years, this event has raised more than $1.25 million for breast cancer education and research.
Funds were raised through the sale of special ticket packages, commemorative pins, hats, pink jerseys, heart ribbon pendants, an A's autographed quilt raffle, and fan and sponsor support.
Pregame ceremonies featured over 500 Bay Area breast cancer survivors forming a symbolic human ribbon on the field in dedication of hope and survival, and the release of white doves as a symbol of hope.
In addition, as a part of "A Gift of Faith" grant, the A's donate $5,000 annually to a local charity in memory of longtime KTVU Channel 2 reporter, the late Faith Fancher.
In 2014 Oakland A's held the 16th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Day on Mother's Day.
On June 21, 2014 the Oakland Athletics hosted the 2nd Annual A's Bowling Bash. The A's Bowling Bash event brings together A's coaches, players, and the community for a fun night benefiting the A's Community Fund.
Oakland A's pitchers Sonny Gray, Dan Otero, and Drew Pomeranz made the 2014 holiday season special for a group of deserving children at the A's Community Fund's annual holiday party at the Oakland Zoo, presented by Round Table Pizza. The trio of pitchers signed autographs and took photos with 220 students from Parker Elementary in Oakland, a reward for the students' excellent attendance and classroom behavior. Each child received a wrapped gift, courtesy of the Good Tidings Foundation, and the day also included face painting, arts and crafts, and a visit by Santa and A's mascot Stomper.
Every Saturday and Sunday home game (and select weekday games), the A's Community Fund hosts a silent auction featuring both signed and unsigned A's memorabilia as well as game-used items. The silent auction is located in the A's Fan Center behind Section 120 and ends with the last out in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Proceeds from the auction benefit the A's Community Fund and various other local charities. Purchased items are tax deductible.

Pancreatic cancer, an often fatal disorder affecting about 1% of the American population, is not usually considered a "Jewish" genetic disease, but researchers at the National Familial Pancreas Tumor Registry at Johns Hopkins University would beg to differ.

Ghost love story | Cadence of her last breath
"I wonder what can really define a woman? Be refinement, grace and nonchalance? What is true femininity? Being aware of who you are, that you know you're attractive or that your unconscious feminine power?
A woman is beautiful from her simply comportment just by the fact of being unique, releasing a certain power about femininity.
Femininity is not just movement, but rather about the attraction that it radiates as a person. Anybody can be attracted to you, because of the the person who you are, because you're the one who stands out.
In the picture you can see the spirit behind the girl, who was attracted to her. It's as if he had waited a long moment to be near her, feeling her.Because she is the girl whose femininity is more special.
I tried to make an illustration of "beauty and the beast" something like that, and i was inspired just from my imagination and from the Nightwish's song – " Beauty and the beast ""

My 2007 longbed Prerunner has 4 'slots' in the ridge that runs the length of the bed walls (see attached pics, the slot is above the inverter). I was thinking of making up 2 planks (either wood or aluminum) that would sit in these slots to go across the width of the bed for carrying 8' x 4' sheets of drywall/lumber etc. The width between the wheelarches is less than 4' so an 8' x 4' wouldn't sit on the bed floor properly.
I wanted to make the top surface of the planks the same height as the ridge and wheelarches for maximum support of the material; if I use a standard 2" x 6" it will be too high unless is sand it down a bit.
Has anyone done this? If so, what material did you use? And how much load did you put on there?

Lego Education and National Instruments will shortly launch an edition of LabVIEW software specifically for high school students to use with Lego robotic products.
LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms is a teaching tool that helps students control and program Mindstorms NXT robots while also learning the basics of LabVIEW, a graphical programming environment used by scientists and engineers. The upcoming release will be the third product in a line that also includes Lego Education WeDo software for elementary students and Lego Mindstorms Education NXT software for middle school students.
The new software is intended to be used in the classroom. It will include instructional videos, tutorials, and teaching resources specifically for high school students and teachers who are using Lego Mindstorms Education and Tetrix by Pitsco. The lessons introduce concepts such as autonomous robotics and scientific measurements using real-world examples and provide activities for students to get practice.
"My students learn better when they learn by doing," said Tim Jump, director of advanced competitive science at Benilde-St. Margaret's college-preparatory school in St. Louis, MN. "Incorporating the hands-on learning of LabVIEW and Lego robotics into my classroom makes it possible for me to explore and experiment right along with the students. The platform not only makes learning engineering fun, but it makes teaching it fun too." In 2005 the school's entry won a national robotics competition.
"LabVIEW for Lego MINDSTORMS completes the National Instruments and Lego Education 'robotics for all ages' learning platform," said Stephan Turnipseed, president of Lego Education North America. "We now can deliver a framework of age-appropriate, hands-on learning technology and curricula that continuously progress with student skill level and learning objectives, from elementary all the way through university."

Mayer Brown partner Jeff Sarles will argue two Federal Circuit cases on the same day — Monday, Oct. 5. This is the second consecutive year where he has had two appellate arguments on the same day. Last year, it was at the 7th Circuit.
This time around, the parties are the same and they both concern claims of infringement of slot machine patents. But they arise from separate district court proceedings before different judges and involve different patents.
The cases are Bally Gaming, Inc. v. IGT, No. 2009-1072 (Fed. Cir.), and IGT v. Alliance Gaming Corp., No. 2009-1110 (Fed. Cir.). Mayer Brown represents the appellee in the first and the appellant in the second.
The two cases involve a dispute between two of the world's largest gaming companies over the validity of patents underlying the world's the most popular slot machine – the Wheel of Fortune. While Sarles will be arguing both cases for IGT, different attorneys from Quinn Emanuel will argue the two cases for Bally Gaming.
When asked how Sarles keeps both cases separate in his mind, he said, "You have to be careful, and make sure the two piles on your desk don't get intermingled."
"There is enough of a relationship [between the patent infringement appeal] to hear them right after the other," he said. "The two cases I will be arguing, it requires a little different mindset … One case, I'm trying to say that the district court got it right, and in the other case that the district court got it wrong. Even through the two judges are different, they do involve different approaches."
He's been preparing for both cases by alternating his preparation days – working on one case one day and the other case the next day until the issues are crystallized in his mind. After that, he said there is no fear of him mixing things up.
His goal for the day, he said, "is hopefully to achieve a double victory for my clients. These are important matters. There is a lot at stake, and if I can accomplish that my client will be happy, and hopefully we will have contributed to the development of the law as well."

Glossary of Advertising Terms
There are many terms used in online web advertising which might be new or confusing to first time advertisers. This advertising glossary will help you understand what advertising online is all about.
- Cost Per Thousand (M = 1 thousand in Roman Numerals). This means you are paying a certain cost for every 1,000 ads that are shown to an end user. Think of this like a newspaper. If your ad goes out to 1,000 people, you pay $X amount. If your ad goes out to 2,000 people, you pay $Y amount. While the concept is easily explained with the newspaper analogy, web ads are
better than newspaper ads. With a newspaper, all you know is that the reader lives in a certain region of the state. You don't know if they're a wine drinker. With WineIntro, you are positive the reader is interested in wine and therefore your products. Even if you chose to advertise in a wine magazine, there is a different problem. You have no idea if the reader turned to your page to even see your ad. With WineIntro, not only are you sure the reader is interested in wine related items, but you also know for sure that the user actually saw the page your ad is featured on.
- Some deceptive websites give you their visitor count in
. This is a
misleading number for them to tell you. In essence, on the web a hit is a single item shown to an end user. This can be a button on a page, or even a white square used to adjust spacing in a table. If a page has 20 different graphic items on it, that page generates twenty "hits" when a person looks at it! If the website wants to double their hit count, they simply add more graphics to their pages. You can see why this number is completely meaningless. It drives me crazy when websites claim a high hit count. If you can't trust a site to deal honestly with you with basic traffic figures, you can't trust them with anything. WineIntro never reports values in hits.
- Pageviews are the proper way to report traffic. This is the number of actual
seen by visitors, regardless of how many little graphic images are found on those pages. WineIntro only shows pageviews on all of its reports. Our total traffic figure is over 2 million pageviews to end users each month.
Unique Visitors
- With current, modern technology, there is
way for any website to count unique visitors. Any website that claims to know this information is lying or guessing. Yes, you can try to put cookies on a user's computer. However, many computers are blocking cookies for security reasons. Even if you put a cookie on a user's computer, you have no idea what human being is actually using the keyboard. This computer could be a library computer, shared by thousands of people a day. So that one "user" is really 1,000 users. On the other hand, the computer could be a work computer used by one person - and that same person visits your site from 3 other work computers. So now that computer only counts for 1/4th a person. You could have a home system accessed by 3 or 4 different people. You could have a laptop that a person uses in the evening, while they use a different system in the daytime. Until we get to a point where fingerprints are sensed when a person types, there is literally no possible way to ever count unique users for a website. We therefore do not try to deceive people by guessing.
Referring Page
- Some advertisers try to correlate how many people come to their site from a given source - say from WineIntro.com. They look at their log files to get this information. It's important to understand how your log file knows this value. When a given computer goes to a given webpage, the only way that webpage knows anything at all is that it asks that visitor's browser for information. That is how the log file knows what browser they are using, what page they "came from" and so on. Many visitors in modern times have their browsers set to hide privacy information. That is, they refuse to divulge what page they were last on. If the browser does not provide this information, there is
way for your log files to know at all where they "came from". A contact between a user's computer and your website is a discreet event. It is a direct request from that user's computer to see a given page on your site. There is no context at all of what they did previous to that one specific request.
If you want to know details about a given ad campaign, it is really best if you set up specific landing pages. For example, make a special page on your site called WineIntro.html. Have it look like your site homepage, but maybe say "Welcome to WineIntro Visitors" on it. Have
that URL
linked to from all of your advertising campaigns, and don't use that URL in anything else you do. That way, when you get traffic on that URL, you are pretty certain that it must have come from your advertising efforts through WineIntro. This same idea is true for any advertising that you do, anywhere on the web.

"All Euro-integrators are homosexuals,"
Oh Russia......just the fact that this can be used as an argument among Russian people goes to show how backwards they still are.
NOBODY knows precisely what happened in Mariupol on May 9th, but it left people in the grimy industrial city in eastern Ukraine angry, agitated, fearful and edging closer to the precipice of chaos and civil war.
By late afternoon, the police headquarters in Mariupol had been reduced to a smouldering shell of a building. Two bodies lay on the ground, hurriedly covered. A few hundred metres away, a group of young, aggressive and visibly drunk local men were jumping up and down on an armoured personnel carrier (APC) which they had commandeered from Ukrainian forces, trying intermittently to take it apart or start it. At one point they extracted several rolls of ammunition from the vehicle and offered it to residents of Mariupol—"one piece per head". As night fell on the city, marauding started. The police or any signs of the government were nowhere to be seen.
May 9th, the Soviet Victory Day over Nazi Germany, was always a potential flashpoint for violence and provocations in Ukraine. The information war waged by Russia against Ukraine has centred on the idea that the overthrow of a corrupt and thuggish president, Viktor Yanukovych, was the work of Ukrainian fascists who suppressed the Russian-speakers in the east of the country. A bogus referendum on the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, which is set to go ahead on May 11th, despite Russian president Vladimir Putin's request to put it off, only heightened the risks.
Witnesses produced a vague but nonetheless telling picture of what happened in Mariupol. As thousands of people took part in a Victory Day demonstration in memory of the Soviet victory and against the Kiev government, an unidentified group of armed, masked men in black fatigues attacked a local police station, occupied the first two floors and forced police officers to barricade themselves on the third floor. Hearing shots fired, a few hundred pro-Russian demonstrators rushed towards the police station, but were met by an unidentified sniper on a roof.
By that time pro-Ukrainian interior-ministry troops and national guards, backed by three APCs, arrived to clear the building of the armed men. Fighting ensued. What happened to the armed men is unclear. Arsen Avakov, Ukraine's interior minister, says some 20 "terrorists" were killed in the fight. There was also suspicion, however, that having provoked the fight, they simply melted away, leaving an impression that pro-Ukrainian forces attacked local policemen.
This was amplified by the Russian television channels, which reported that on a "holy" Victory Day the "fascist Kiev junta" conducted a punitive operation against the peace-loving, pro-Russian population in the east of the country, shooting at them with sniper rifles and running them over with tanks. Ekaterina Andreeva, a sleek news presenter on Channel One, sporting the black and orange ribbon which commemorates Soviet victory and has become a symbol for the separatists, called Ukrainian forces "war criminals". The footage stood in contrast to the celebrations of Victory Day in Russia itself, and in Crimea's Sebastopol, which was supposedly "saved from Ukrainian fascists" by Mr Putin, who visited the city.
In Donetsk, the capital of the region, separatist leaders addressed a couple of thousand people who had gathered on the main Lenin square to celebrate the Soviet victory. "As we commemorate our fathers and grandfathers, our men are fighting fascists on the frontlines. A fight is raging in Mariupol," they declared.
Portraits of Stalin were held aloft. Denis Pushilin, a 33-year-old leader of the self-proclaimed People's Republic of Donetsk, declared from the stage: "We are Russians. A great Russian heritage has awoken in us. We will go to the end, to our victory." People chanted "Russia". "All Euro-integrators are homosexuals," one man in the crowd explained to your correspondent, referring to the government in Kiev. Alexander Khryakov, a separatist leader, recited a 1940s song from the stage: "We will drink to our motherland. We will drink to Stalin. We will drink and fill up our glasses again."

"All Euro-integrators are homosexuals,"
Oh Russia......just the fact that this can be used as an argument among Russian people goes to show how backwards they still are.
Don't use the term "liberation forces" if you want to pretend to not be a Russian propaganda troll. It's a bit of a tell.
Makes you understand the importance of things like the bbc world service when you see the way the Russians are stirring up hatred through control of the media.
Russia is now a rogue state and needs to be treated as such.
Is there no way to mark the trolls' comments in red or something please? So they can see they are marked? For they seem to be so naïve to believe their Kremlin propaganda is taken at face value. Under every article on Ukraine herds of those creatures write idiocies.
Despite how wrong I think these separatists are, I don't hate them.
I feel sorry for them, as well as the Russian people.
Why? Because they continue to live in the past. Look at the military parade yesterday. It is always about the glory of the Soviet Union, never about preparing for the future. I think, WW2 was 70 years ago. The world has moved on, you should too. You aren't the only ones who lost a lot of people.
I don't deny Russia's sacrifices (although they helped Germany at first), but it's sad how gullible they are. They fall for the warmongering and propaganda, and they do not even question it.
Putin champions revival, but it is a lie. Russia lost the cold war. Today, the Russian economy is a fraction of the West. Plus you need their patronage. Do you really want to try this again? The military is a shell of it's former self. The USA and Europe would beat them badly. Why do you think they haven't touched the Baltics? They are smaller and have larger ethnic Russian populations than Ukraine. They sure made the right move running to NATO when they could.
I also find it very ironic that the parade is about triumph over Nationalism and Militarism. How do they celebrate it? With, you guess it, Nationalism and Militarism.
About Denis Pushilin:
"Denis Pushilin is a leader of the Donetsk separatists and self-proclaimed chairman of the Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) council.
Pushilin worked for the 1990s Russian Ponzi scheme company MMM, which has cost its customers millions of dollars.
Pushilin has an account on YouTube where he is seen agitating for MMM as recently as March 5, 2014.
Until he suddenly appeared as a leader of the separatists, Pushilin was virtually unknown in the region."
About Donetsk.
"Donetsk currently has a population of over 982,000 inhabitants (2010) and has a metropolitan area of over 2,000,000 inhabitants."
Now, let's get back to the article:
"...separatist leaders addressed a
couple of thousand people..."
Let's take the population of Donetsk and figure out the percentage of the Russian Separatists:
1 000 000 = 100%
2 000 = 0.2%
And the answer is 0.2%.
I lived in Mariupol for 21 years, my friends and family are still there. Police had an order to attack people during demonstration on May 9th, to spread hate, chaos and panic. Police refused and thats why Ukrainian army opened the fire and burned the police station.
I'm from that city! Stop Lying!!!!
This makes Putin's style referendum simple. Get 0.2% of the people to fill 1% of the ballots (say, five per person) and declare the results: 97.9 % voted in favour of separation.
I think you are mistaking truth for bias.
Comes from watching too many lies on RT.com I suppose.
Would the TE correspondent, who seemingly was there, care to explain how "visibly drunk" young men commandeered an APC from Ukraine's elite special forces.
TE Quote: NOBODY knows precisely what happened in Mariupol on May 9th,
Actually, the people who were there know exactly what happened.
1. The local police refused to accept orders from Kiev.
2. Kiev sent in elite special forces (the unidentified gunmen noted in the article) to the police station to commandeer it and arrest the police chief.
3. The police barricaded themselves in their building (to protect themselves from the Ukrainian army unit sent in to arrest them).
4. Two police officers were shot and killed by the Ukrainian army.
5. The locals gathered to the police station to protect their police from the Ukrainian army.
6. The Ukrainian army, in unidentified uniforms, bailed. Then Ukrainian regulars were sent in in full uniform and APCs.
7. The Ukrainian APCs were surrounded by locals and driven out, one of them captured.
That's what happened.
By the way, the man in the picture is one of the local police officers killed by the Ukrainian sniper team, as you can see he is draped in a pro-Russian flag as a symbol of reverence and respect.
German ARD channel launched its own investigation on who shoot in people at maidan. While current Kiev authorities claim it to be Yanukovich's forces, the german journalists came to conclusion that the sniper shoot from the oppositionists' side.
Those neo-nazis could do everything just to come to power
The Kiev government has set a new governor to the Kherson region, Eastern Ukraine. The governor called Hitler 'liberator' addressing veterans on Victory Day. The crowd was chanting "shame" and one of the women grabbed and threw away the mic.
When people in the Eastern and Southern Ukraine fight for their freedom, it's not because they are "pdid" as western media try to present, but because they fight exactly against this nazist line of the new government.
PS: more then 5 million Ukranian civilians were killed by the fascist army during WW2.
That's Russian AGITPROP's role.
They are experts at 'denouncing', 'condemning', etc. etc.
You should know !
The moral bankruptcy of media outlets like the Economist is laid bare when they fail to denounce atrocities commited by their friends, such as the ones installed in Kiev
I don't know your sources but mine include the self-proclaimed 'mayor"
- pardon me - he is "people's mayor" of Slaviansk - Vyacheslav Ponomarev who 'presided ' at the celebrations of the Victory Day on May 9, declaring:
"We had an unspoken agreement that we do not open fire on the regular soldiers of the army. Now we decided - we no longer take prisoners,... we are not to blame "
"We will now just ruthlessly annihilate them... The harder we treat them, the faster they will respect us," - Ponomarev added.
Should you decide to 'interview' this 'People's mayor' you could suffer the same fate. By mistake, of course.
By the way, Ponomarev is holding hostage a large group of people including some Ukrainian militia as well as foreign correspondents. If you manage to join them and remain alive, eventually you will have 'exclusive' material for a reliable news story.
You may be able to offer it to
The Economist for a substantial fee.
Backwards and hopelessly brainwashed.
by any measures less than UK did.
The Economist loves to present Russia as evil, and any pro-Russian forces as "aggressive" and "visibly drunk" and "drink..again". This is the way for The Economist to de-legitimise peoples' demands and show them "less human" and therefore less deserving to be heard - a nazi tactic.
If you want some truth, you can find plenty on Youtube, for example this one youtube.com/watch?v=wdXM2f6WUgc
The truth is that Ukranian army shot several unarmed civilians and police officers who declined to shoot in them.
There were some protests in the city recently, so army was sent to the city center. The people of Mariupol were very angry that army arrives, blocked all the highways, spoke to the soldiers, demanded them to leave the city.
The head of police of Mariaupol, Valery Androschyk, ordered the police to shoot in the angry demonstration that was approaching the city administrationon on the Victory day. The police officers declined to do it. Androschyk then shoot in two of of the officers and called the Ukranian army that entered the city to defend him and kill the "terrorist" police. The army shoot the policemen and then several civilians who protested the massacre. Androschyk tried to escape but was beaten to death by the angry mob.
I wonder how the UK loves to preach about how it cherishes people's rights, yet at the same time lies about so obvious things. It proves once again that the press in the west is neither free not fair, and is only used to reach political goals of their host countries. The whole sanctions idea of the UK would fall apart if the people of the west know truth, so The Economist makes every effort to be good puppy of its government.
One of the fascinating and depressing realities is that Putin's view of people (essentially stupid sheep to be led in whatever direction the powerful decide) is substantially correct. I recommend readers of all political persuasions to read detailed accounts of what happened in the period 1935 - 1939 as Hitler systematically expanded the reach of the Third Reich. It is rare that history repeats itself so exactly, but this is indeed one of those rare moments - almost as if Putin, after studying the period in great detail, decided on a re-enactment of a sort of "greatest hits" version. We see in that period the same engineered "protests" and the same division of loyalties, the same confusions and the same inability to perceive behind the noise and chaos the overall trend. Hitler himself, just as Putin today, had no intention at the beginning of provoking a mass war. His successes caught him up and led him forward, just as Putin's successes are doing - though Putin, being somewhat more secure in his dictatorship than Hitler, can afford to take a little longer in each step. And just as Hitler periodically posed as "peacemaker" to defuse opposition and to enable his own propaganda machine to paint him in a more flattering light, so Putin does the same thing. "Our soldiers have pulled back. We ask our Russian friends to postpone their legitimate referendum."
It's all very transparent but at the same time very effective because we humans are such simple, easily manipulated, creatures. But it will all end very, very badly indeed. Fantasy-land is no substitute for reality. Dreams of Stalin (in fact an incompetent psychopath who nearly ruined Russia single-handed) are no substitute for adequate governance. It's very sad that so many ordinary people will suffer for the lack of intellect evident in the various so-called "leaders" involved. And here we must indict not only Putin, but also the weakness of Merkel, Hollande, Cameron, and Obama for utterly failing to grasp the seriousness of the situation until it was far too late.
The Ukraine is a one hour flight from Syria but their fates may be a lot closer.
Russia made Syria.
It is repeating the process in Ukraine.

L'Entrecote de Paris: Authentic Steak Frites Coming to Brickell
L'Entrecote de Paris |
Steak frites is on the menu. |
Well, if a restaurant that makes only one thing (but makes it really well) sounds soothing in your increasingly difficult life, you need only wait another month for the opening of L'Entrecote de Paris at 1053 SE First Ave. in Brickell.
The restaurant, which is famous in Paris for serving steak frites -- and only steak frites -- is opening in Brickell in May 2013 as part of an expansion and will be the first location in the United States (not to be confused with the now-defunct South Beach eatery of the same name).
The steak frites are served with a secret 21-ingredient sauce and salad. Oh, and a really good wine selection accompanies your meal. The bistro, after all, is from France.
While the thought of a restaurant serving only one dish might sound strange to us Americans with our Cheesecake Factory menus that feature more than a dozen pages of offerings, it's not so uncommon in Europe, where restaurants often have a specialty dish.
So far, we don't have a price for the steak frites, but we'll keep you updated as more information comes in.

| Budget trekking to Annapurna base camp Annapurna Base Camp Trek Annapurna base camp trek is famous for trekkers. The principal peaks of the western portion of the great Annapurna Himal, including Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Fang, Annapurna, Ganagapurna, Annapurna 3 and Machhapuchhare, are arranged almost precisely in a circle about 10 miles in diameter with a deep glacier-covered amphitheater at the center. From this glacier basin, known as the Annapurna Sanctuary, the Modi Khola knifes its way south in a narrow gorge fully 12,000 ft. deep. Further south, the gorge opens up into a wide and fertile valley, the domain of the Gurungs. The middle and upper portions of Modi Khola offer some of the best short trekking routes in Nepal, and the valley is located so that these treks can be easily combined with treks into the Kali Gandaki region to the west. In spite of the great heights of the surrounding peaks and ice walls, the valley floor between 12,000 and 14,000 ft. can provide comfortable camping spots in good weather.

The story of three best friends and roommates in college, "Underdogs" is yet another indie film that focuses on a lead character that aspires to be a filmmaker. Ugh. Johnny is our lead who is working on a script that he won't show to anyone. Why? "Because it sucks," he says. Whoa the pain and misery! He's seeing a shrink and cannot seem to make the connection with the right girl. As soon as a woman takes an interest in him, he loses interest. Then Johnny starts dating a stripper. When he's accepted into film school, she encourages him to pursue his dream and Johnny freaks out because she, "…doesn't understand." Yeah, right. So, after leaving the stripper Johnny starts sleeping with an 18 year-old girl who ends up blowing his best friend. The film wants to be the TV show "Friends" but with fucking but the writing falls short.
The real problem with "Underdogs" is that the characters TELL great stories that are much better than the stories we see unfold on screen. One tale about a woman who gets caught cheating on her boyfriend ends hilariously. Hey, I want to see that story – and not watch a bunch of people TELL stories.

Monday, March 3, 2014
STRATHAM — Behaylu Barry needs a cure.
Aplastic anemia is not a virus or a bacteria. It likely is not an inherited condition, and 75 percent of cases have no known cause. The best cure is to receive a bone-marrow transplant from a direct sibling. With five blood siblings still living in Ethiopia, there is a good chance to cure Behaylu. But the Barry family needs help. If there is a match among Behaylu's siblings, then the prospective donor must be transported to the U.S. for a month or more. Both children have to be ready to do the transplant, and all the preparation takes time. The greatest hurdle is to get the support of the American and Ethiopian governments to bring Behaylu's donor sibling here immediately. The child and guardian will need passports and exit visas issued immediately. This unprecedented case presents numerous barriers with both governments.

Some great front row videos the Tuesday night Cincinnati show from EStreetMichael (including a great "American Skin"). But the BEST of the night was the guy who sang the last verse of "Growin' Up" on stage. Apparently, he was a birthday boy, and did a pretty killer Craig Finn/Hold Steady take on the verse and wowed Bruce enough to cede the microphone to the guy (not quite Philly Elvis-takeover-the-show stuff, but what would be, right?). The dude finished the song, threw his arms wildly into the air, turned to face the band, looked like he freaked out for a second or two, and then decided to take a running dive in to the pit of fans. Truly great "wtf?" moment.

Matthew Charles Sanders (born July 31, 1981), better known by his stage name M. Shadows, is the lead vocalist, songwriter, and founding member for the American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold. Shadows possesses the voice type of a lyric baritone, and is well known for his distinctively gritty singing style as well as occasional screaming.
Contents |
Shadows began singing at an early age, but his interest in rock music grew as he became older and began to play the guitar.[1]Mr Shadows links this pene early musical experience with the piano as a major factor in developing his skills with the guitar and his voice.[1] He attended Huntington Beach High School, where he played for a brief stint in a punk band named "Successful Failure".[1] Following this, Shadows formed Avenged Sevenfold in 1999 along with high school friends Zacky Vengeance, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, and Matt Wendt.[1] Soon after, Sullivan's friend Synyster Gates joined Avenged Sevenfold as the lead guitarist.
In the DVD "All Excess,"Mr Shadows claims that everyone in the band had been assigned to come up with a list of names, but that only he had followed through. The name Avenged Sevenfold, a reference to the Book of Genesis, was chosen over Lips of Deceit, another Biblical reference.[2]
Shadows, like the other members of Avenged Sevenfold, uses a stage name. In an interview, Shadows says that he chose "M. Shadows" as his stage name because he thought of himself as "the darker character in the group,".[3] The M is in place of his first name, Matthew, which he did not want to be in his stage name because of the way it sounded.[3] He also added that he and the band took stage names because many other successful musicians that they were influenced by had them (e.g. Slash of Guns N' Roses and Munky of Korn).[3]
Shadows' vocal style has evolved significantly over the years. On the band's first full-length record, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, he featured harsh, metalcore-style growls with limited instances of clean vocals.[4] The release of Waking the Fallen in 2003 demonstrated his progression towards melodic vocal lines, but still retained a strong screaming influence. However, the most significant change came with the release of the band's major label debut, City of Evil, in 2005, which featured minimal background screaming, stronger vocal melodies, [5] and increased emphasis on harmonies and melodic hooks. This change resulted in newly established vocal contributions from each band member during live performances, and remained prevalent on every record the band has released since 2005, with the exception of songs like "God Hates Us" on Nightmare, and 2011 single "Not Ready To Die", which both returned to the signature screaming style of earlier releases heard from 1999-2003.
Rumors were spread that Shadows had lost his ability to scream due to throat surgery needed after Warped Tour 2003.[6] However, this was proven false. Producer Andrew Murdock put down these rumors by saying: "When I met the band after Sounding the Seventh Trumpet…Matt handed me the CD, and he said to me, 'This record's screaming. The record we want to make…is going to be half-screaming and half-singing. I don't want to scream anymore…the record after that is going to be all singing.'"[7] Aside from screaming during moments on songs such as "Beast and the Harlot", "Betrayed", "Critical Acclaim", and "Demons", M. Shadows returned to his half singing, half screaming metalcore vocal approach on track 7 of Nightmare during "God Hates Us", projecting a deeper growl not heard in previous albums.
Shadows draws his singing and performing style heavily from classic metal bands. He cites Guns N' Roses as his biggest influence (during an interview), commenting that "I love that band. You can compare us all you want — they're a huge reason why I'm even in a band and even write music."[8] Shadows also commented that he was heavily influenced by Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Ozzy Osbourne, and Pantera.[8] Megadeth and Metallica, Shadows says, are the reason why Avenged Sevenfold try to infuse a classic metal sound into their music. "Metalheads are so bitter, they're like, 'Why doesn't a super-extreme band have all the success that Avenged Sevenfold is having?'," said Shadows in an interview, "It's 'cause we have that traditional classic sound that bands like Metallica and Megadeth paved the way for a while ago. That sound crosses over and the extreme metal doesn't," he added. He also stated later in that interview that guitar expert Scott Taylor taught him how to play the guitar.[8]
Shadows was one of the founding members of Avenged Sevenfold, along with The Rev and Zacky Vengeance in 1999. In 2001, the band released their first studio album, Sounding The Seventh Trumpet.[9] The self-produced album, which was in the metalcore style, gained mixed to positive reviews from critics.[10] Following the success of their first album, the band released a second album, Waking the Fallen, in 2003.[11] Later in 2003, Shadows and Avenged Sevenfold played in the Vans Warped Tour.[12]
Shadows has made guest appearances on numerous albums by various artists. He is featured on the Steel Panther album Feel the Steel and sings a verse of "Turn Out the Lights." He also produced The Confession's 2007 album, Requiem, which, according to an interview, was one of the first steps which led to Avenged Sevenfold self-producing their 2007 self-titled album. Shadows also sings In "The River" by Good Charlotte in the album "Good Morning Revival" along with fellow band member Synyster Gates with his guitar solo. In 2012 Shadows and fellow Avenged Sevenfold member Synyster Gates made a brief cameo in the war game Call of Duty: Black Ops II in which they provided the voice over of.

Ciena nears 'transformative' Nortel deal
Ciena (NASDAQ:CIEN) is getting closer to what analysts say would be a "transformative" acquisition for a company with a long history of bold M&A. The equipment vendor now appears to be the front-runner to acquire Nortel Networks' optical and carrier Ethernet business, analysts say, having announced being in negotiations yesterday.
[UPDATE 10/7/09: Ciena bids $521M.]
According to Seeking Alpha, Ciena issued a press release on Friday that put the company's bid for Nortel's assets at about $550 million ($400M in cash and about $150M in stock — 10M shares). The company won't comment on that, and the release itself is no longer visible. Ciena's announcement yesterday didn't mention specific prices.
Based on opening bids for Nortel's CDMA/LTE business, which were about a fourth of sales, bidding for the Metro Ethernet Networks division would likely start at around $350 million, UBS analyst Nikos Theodosopoulos said in a note this morning, so the $550M price would take things up a notch.
But RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Sue believes interest in the assets has "dwindled" in recent months among potential bidders like Ericsson, Nokia Siemens, Huawei, Tellabs, and Cisco, leaving Ciena and Infinera as the most serious bidders. "We estimate the price peaked at $650M and may have now settled near $450M," Sue wrote in a note today.
Ciena has a history of tackling big acquisitions and integration challenges, but this one could be a bit like the dog chasing the car, according to Theodosopoulos. "It would transform Ciena," he wrote, adding at least 1300 employees to Ciena's 2100, doubling or tripling its revenue and — as Ciena has $1 billion in cash and perhaps $265 million in net cash — potentially leaving it further leveraged.
"Ciena would go from a product cycle story to one of scale," Theodosopoulos wrote.
Sue suspects Ciena may try to fund the deal by raising nearly half a billion dollars in equity, diluting the stock by perhaps $0.04 or $0.05 per share next fiscal year.
"In the end, the customer base is similar, the technology fits well into the portfolio, and it fills a gap until the market for 100 gig gains hold," Sue wrote.
