Is this shampoo good for curly perm hair?
Lauren C on Nov 24, 2013
Best Answer: I would not recommend this shampoo if you dye your hair or have a perm. However, if you have naturally curly hair this shampoo is wonderful as it doesn't weight your hair down.
My hair is not permed, just a little naturally wavy and stiff. The Argan shampoo is very high quality and left my hair softer. I like it.
I like to feel my hair SUPER SOFT, SILKY. Is this my product?. If not, can anybody recommend me one to give me that extra softness without using a conditoner afterwards.
A shopper on Mar 24, 2013
Best Answer: This shampoo is very conditioning, so if your hair is normal and not like mine, you could likely get away with just the shampoo.
I have super coarse, highlighted and frizzy hair and I use both the Argan shampoo and conditioner. They make my hair into the hair that SHOULD be growing out of my head, straight, shiny and beautiful looking.
Smells wonderful too. Highly recommend!

Hi. Yes it does make hair super soft and silky. The other product I use for soft and silky hair is magic elixir. Not sure how it works but its awesome.
My thick hair has become dry as I age. I want a shampoo and conditioner that will moisturize my hair without losing its natural curl?
A shopper on Dec 30, 2012
Best Answer: The Argan shampoo and conditioner are both very nice products that will smooth out coarse hair some but not weigh it down. I purchased the shamppo and conditioner for my mom, and just last week got the conditioner for myself. It smells fantastic and helps keep our coarse thick hair under control.
Is this shampoo salt free?
lilly p on Jun 14, 2012
Best Answer: It is not salt-free. It contains sodium chloride, better known as table salt. Most soaps, cleansers, and shampoos contain a sodium-based surfactants in some form or another. They tend to be the primary "active" ingredients. It's what gets you clean. This product certainly contains salt. -nrg
Does anyone know if this is considered an "oil free" shampoo? My daughter tends to break out on her forehead and I am trying to find the best hair product for her, sticking with Kiehl's .Thanks for your time :)

Video: A Review of the Bose® SoundDock® II system and SoundDock® Portable system
Crutchfield product experts Ralph and Chris discuss the Bose® SoundDock® II system and SoundDock® Portable system in this short video.
Ralph: Hi, I'm Ralph.
Chris: And I'm Chris. And we're down in the Crutchfield studio to give you a close look at the Bose SoundDock® Series II speaker system for your iPod. This is a great accessory. You just slip your docking iPod or iPhone right in here. It charges it while it's on there. And look how slim and sleek and good-looking this system is. It fits into just about any décor really nicely.
Ralph: Oh yeah. And you can also use this with other things as well, because it has an auxiliary input in the back. So you could plug in your computer, instead of using computer speakers. Or you could use another kind of MP3 player if you wanted to, and still get that great room-filling sound with those devices as well. It also has a remote with an interesting feature on it. Now, most of these remotes will do stop/start, fast forward/back. But this one lets you skip through playlists. So for example, you're in the kitchen. Your husband puts something on, on his playlist. He leaves to go mow the yard. What are you going to do?
Chris: I'm going to change it!
Ralph: Yeah, I thought so.
Chris: Normally, I'd have to go to the speaker system, though, and change it on my iPod. But this remote lets you do it right from where you are.
Ralph: Right, so if you don't want to listen to that, you can skip to this, or even skip down to that.
Chris: That's a pretty sophisticated feature.
Ralph: Indeed it is.
Chris: Really nice.
Ralph: Saves me many steps.
Chris: So this is a great system if you just want to share your music with family and friends from your den, your kitchen, your bedroom — wherever you have it. But let's say you want to take your music on the go.
Ralph: Right. You can, because there is a SoundDock® Portable.
Chris: Exactly. It's just a little more compact, folds up nice and neat, has a handle, and also comes with a rechargeable battery, so you don't have to worry about plugging it in anywhere, which is a really nice feature. You can also get an optional travel bag, just to keep it safe while you're on the road.
Ralph: And to keep that finish looking handsome.
Chris: Exactly.
Ralph: So if you'd like to know more about these products, just go to crutchfield.com/SoundDock.

London is difficult to describe. You should therefore take the time to visit and sample the atmosphere of this trendy capital.
In addition to the many pubs and football stadiums, London also has a large number of cultural attractions and sights. Let's start with the Big Ben, a tower with a magnificent clock that is one of the characteristic sights of London. The London skyline also offers views of the Tower Bridge, the Millennium Dome and the London Eye, world's biggest observation wheel at 135 m high.
Other tourist attractions include Westminster Abbey, Piccadilly Circus, the London Dungeon and Buckingham Palace. You can wander among restaurants, market stalls and little shops in Covent Garden, which is one of London's most attractive squares. If you want to buy souvenirs, we recommend a visit to Harrods. Don't forget to go and see one of the great musicals showing in London's West End.

I'm cool with this.
Will be fine, but it now means that they need to get going and do this before Ty Simpkins graduates from college.
Brolin can only make any movie he's in better yeah that includes Jonah Hex so imagine how much worse that would've been without him
I'm cool with Josh Brolin, but not sure I'm cool with the movie itself...movie sequels having little or nothing to do with the original source material don't seem to go well most of the time.

Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".

People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
I found myself in a very awkward situation. On the one hand I was a follower of Jesus Christ who loved the Bible, knew that it was God's Word, and, therefore, not full of lies. However, I also was someone who had loved science for many years and was planning on pursuing a career in research...
In this series, Bob Jones University graduate David Buller recounts his spiritual and intellectual journey in which he came to a deeper understanding of the metaphorical nature of the Genesis creation account and no longer views evolution as contradictory to God's Word. It is the story of a courageous and truth-seeking heart.
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
As a child, I started reading the Bible as soon as I could and I made my decision for Jesus wholeheartedly at the age of nine. Nurtured in an "all Christian environment," I knew little else. But certain questions tended to nag at me.
By all accounts, my faith should have perished the moment I started asking questions about faith and science. All my life I'd been taught that I had to choose—between believing the Bible and believing my science book, between honoring God and embracing evolution.
In this short series, Brian Godawa relates his personal journey from faith in instantaneous creation to gradual evolution. He initially held the scientific six-day model of creation after reading The Genesis Flood, thinking this to be the plainest reading one could have. However, he quickly realized that his "simple" reading was biased by his 20th century, westernized culture that thought in scientific terms. Ultimately, the Bible is inerrant on matters of faith, life and God, but there are cultural barriers threaded throughout the text that must be overcome with proper hermeneutics.
Outside of my family and my personal relationship with God, there is nothing in recent years that has shaped me more profoundly than the Sunday School class I teach. It all began ten years ago, when I was asked to do a three week series on biology and faith.
I'm a conservative evangelical. When I became a Christian fourteen years ago, I not only embraced profound new spiritual perspectives, but inherited a host of new scientific views: the earth was young, macro-evolution was false, and to affirm the contrary was to discredit the Bible and even the Gospel.
A college student raised as a young-earth creationist shares his story of coming to understand and appreciate God's evolving creation.
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
"If I have one criticism of my fellow theologians from time to time, it's that they're often stuck in the physics of the 19th century rather than the 20th and 21st centuries."
As much as I love the fertilized soccer green at the foot of the library, I can't imagine Gordon College without the woods and wetlands. They are our best classrooms.
Ten years ago I knelt at the side of my bed and prayed, "Dear Jesus, please help Nana not to believe in evolution anymore."
John Polkinghorne, the world-famous physicist, got to church early on a recent Sunday. It had been nearly twenty-five years since he had preached in this church and celebrated the Eucharist with its members.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
There was nothing about my experiences on Oct. 20 or the God I'd met that day that intimated to me that he harbored a particular abhorrence for evolution or any scientific theory. I wonder how often we do stuff like that: add things to our list of divine "non-negotiables" that really reflect nothing of the God we experienced when he first welcomed us into his family as a free gift of grace.
…because accepting evolutionary theory for the first time does require us to reconsider and reframe other aspects of our cultural and spiritual beliefs, we must be more caring about the way we interact with those who remain in disagreement with us.

No. 7,764,735 on Jul. 27, 2010, are Continuation Applications of Ser. No. 11/873,282. The present invention relates to a signal compressing system. A system according to the present invention is particularly suited for compressing image signals. The present disclosure is based on the disclosure in Korean Patent Application No. 92-3398 filed Feb. 29, 1992, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference. Image signals may be compressed by motion-compensated interframe discrete cosine transform (DCT) coding such as is defined by a MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) international standard. This form of signal compression has attracted much attention in the field of high definition television (HDTV). The discrete cosine transformed signal is quantized by a quantizer 20. The image signal is scanned in a zig-zag manner to produce a runlength coded version thereof. The runlength coded signal comprises a plurality of strings which include a series of �0�s, representing the run length, and an amplitude value of any value except �0�. The runlength coded signal is dequantized by a dequantizer 21, inversely zig-zag scanned and inversely discrete cosine transformed by an inverse discrete cosine transforming portion 11. The transformed image signal is added to the motion-compensated estimate error signal by a second adder 8 b. As a result the image signal is decoded into a signal corresponding to the original image signal. Refresh switches RSW1, RSW2 are arranged between the adders 8 a, 8 b and the motion compensator 40 so as to provide the original image signal free from externally induced errors. The runlength coded signal is also supplied to a variable length coder 60 which applies a variable length coding to the runlength coded image signal. The variable length coded signal is then output through a FIFO transfer buffer 70 as a coded image signal. In motion-compensated adaptive DCT coding, the interframe signal can be easily estimated or coded by way of motion compensation, thereby obtaining a high coding efficiency, since the image signal has a relatively high correlation along the time axis. That is, according to the afore-mentioned method, the coding efficiency is high because most of the energy of a discrete cosine transformed signal is compressed at the lower end of its spectrum, resulting in long runs of �0�s in the runlength coded signal. However, the scanning regime of the aforementioned method does not take account of differences in the spectrum of the motion-compensated interframe DCT signal with time. A method is known wherein one of a plurality of reference modes is previously selected on the basis of the difference between the present block and that of a previous frame and the image signal is scanned by way of a scanning pattern under the selected mode and suitably quantized. With such a method, however, three modes are employed to compute the energies of the intermediate and high frequency components of the image signal in accordance with the interframe or the intraframe modes in order to determine the appropriate mode. This mode determining procedure is undesirably complicated. According to the present invention, there is provided a signal compressing system, comprising coding means for scanning an input signal according to a plurality of different scanning patterns to provided coded versions thereof and selection means for selecting a said scanning pattern which produces efficient coding according to a predetermined criterion and outputting a scanning pattern signal identifying the selected scanning pattern. Preferably, the input signal is an inherently two-dimensional signal, for example, an image signal. Preferably, the coding means codes the input signal according to a runlength coding regime. Preferably, the system includes a variable length coder to variably length code the coded signal, produced by scanning according to the selected scanning pattern. Preferably, the system includes discrete cosine transformer means to produce said input signal. The transformer means may be a motion-compensated interframe adaptive discrete cosine transformer. An embodiment of the present invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to Referring to The motion vector is supplied to a motion compensator 60 which, in turn, compensates the delayed frame signal for movement. A first adder 8 a produces a difference signal representing the difference between the present frame and the delayed, motion-compensated frame. A DCT coder 10 DCT-codes the difference signal. The DCT coded image signal is quantized by a quantizer 20 and then dequantized by a dequantizer 21. The dequantized signal is supplied to a second adder 8 b, via IDCT 11, which adds it to the output of the motion compensator 11. This produces a signal corresponding to the original image signal. The output of the motion compensator 50 is applied to the adders 8 a, 8 b by refresh switches RSW2 and RSW1, respectively. The quantized image signal is also supplied to a multi-scanner 80 which scans it according to a plurality of predetermined patterns. A scanner pattern selector 90 selects the scanning pattern which produces the minimum number of bits to represent the current sub-block. The scanning pattern selector also produces selection data which identifies the selected scanning pattern. The image signal output by the scanning pattern selector 90 is variable length coded by a variable length coder 60. The variable length coder 60 compresses the image signal output by the scanning pattern selector 90. The variable length coder 60 operates such that a large proportion of the data samples are each represented by a small number of bits while a small proportion of the data samples are each represented by a large number of bits. When a discrete cosine transformed image signal is quantized and runlength coded, the number of �0�s is increased over all, while the number of �0�s decreases as the magnitude of the signal increases. Accordingly, data compression is achieved because �0� can be represented by only a few bits and �255� can be represented by a relatively large number of bits. Both the variable length coded signal and the selection data are supplied to a multiplexer MUX1 which multiplexes the variable length coded signal and the selection data, and optionally additional information such as teletext. Since the variable length coded signal has data words of different lengths, a transfer buffer 70 is employed to temporarily store the multiplexed signal and output it at a constant rate. The original image signal is reconstructed at a remote station by performing the appropriate inverse scanning of the runlength coded signal in accordance with the multiplexed scanning pattern selection data. As described above, according to the present invention, the quantized image signal is scanned according to various scanning patterns, and then the most efficient pattern is selected. A suitable measure of efficiency is the number of bits required to runlength code the image signal. Patent Citations

Correction: Cuba-Television story
Tuesday - 2/12/2013, 2:08pm EST
HAVANA (AP) -- In a story Feb. 10 about the network Telesur in Cuba, The Associated Press misspelled the name of the Committee to Protect Journalists.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Telesur news channel gives Cubans glimpse of world
Venezuela-based channel Telesur opens 'window onto the world' for isolated, news-hungry Cubans
By ANDREA RODRIGUEZ
Associated Press
HAVANA (AP) -- There have been some strange sights on Cuban TV sets recently.
News-starved viewers watched an Ecuadorean opposition candidate liken the government of President Rafael Correa, one of Havana's staunchest allies, to a moonwalking Michael Jackson: He walks like he's moving ahead, but he's actually going backward.
On another day Cubans learned a quarter-billion of their fellow Latin Americans have access to the Internet -- something less than 10 percent of islanders can say themselves.
Cubans even watched a live broadcast of U.S. President Barack Obama's inaugural address.
Such images would be unremarkable in most countries, but they're a break from the stodgy, tightly scripted state-run television that has long been the only fare in Cuba, with its mind-numbing tributes to efficiency, constant diatribes against the U.S. economic embargo and remembrances of minor anniversaries from the early years of the 1959 revolution.
The change has come not from U.S.-funded TV Marti, which few Cubans can see, but via the left-leaning Latin American news channel Telesur, which is bankrolled primarily by Venezuela. Since Jan. 20, it has broadcast live about 12 hours a day in Cuba.
Telesur's outlook may be sympathetic to Cuba's socialist model, but it's still a relatively unfiltered news source, and many say the decision to carry it here is as groundbreaking as other recent reforms, such as legalizing more private businesses and allowing greater travel freedom.
"It's a window onto the world. It's a different way of seeing things," said Marcos Guizaldivar, a 41-year-old restaurant worker in Havana who said he was fascinated by Telesur and had all but tuned out Cuban state TV. "It would be great if they had it on 24 hours a day."
Guizaldivar and many others are captivated by Telesur's global newsgathering, fresh, real-time reports and slick production values, all novelties for an audience accustomed to low-budget weather graphics and word-for-word readings of lengthy essays by retired President Fidel Castro.
Even Telesur's critics welcome its arrival on the island.
"I think it is a positive step in Cuba, where all media are controlled by the Communist Party," said Carlos Lauria, senior Americas program director for the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists, a media advocacy group.
But he noted that Telesur is unlikely to report on internal issues that reflect poorly on Havana's government, such as Cuba's tiny dissident community or problems with the country's crumbling housing.
It's "limited, because there is no different or critical vision where dissent is expressed," Lauria said.
Telesur was conceived as a force for regional integration and as a counterweight to Western channels such as CNN and BBC. It began broadcasting in 2005 and receives majority funding from Venezuela, with the governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador and Nicaragua contributing lesser shares.
All those countries are run by leaders considered part of the Latin American left, most notably Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and critics of the channel point to examples of ideologically driven coverage, such as its pro-regime reports during the Libyan uprising against Moammar Gadhafi.
Arturo Lopez-Levy, a Cuba-born economist and University of Denver lecturer, said that no matter the editorial line, competition with private channels across the region means that Telesur doesn't have the luxury of ignoring major events.
A speech by a U.S. president, for example, was almost unheard of on Cuban TV in recent decades.
Telesur's programming gives islanders a close-up look at the more modern, messy, consumer-driven world outside.
One recent commercial urged viewers to use a smartphone app to follow Ecuador's elections -- something that's prohibitively expensive for most Cubans.
On a recent evening, Telesur covered a Venezuelan congressional session in which opposition lawmakers stridently defended themselves from critics across the aisle. That was an unusual image for Cuba, where parliament generally passes legislation unanimously, with discussion but without visible debate.
"The population will be exposed to a political model that distinguishes loyal opposition from treason ... that does not imply uncritical acceptance," Lopez-Levy said.
Telesur carries musical and historical programs, as well as documentaries with investigative journalism and reporters grilling their subjects. That, too, is a significant departure from the softball questions typical of Cuban news and the echo-chamber analysis of the nightly TV public affairs show.

Santa Cruz Bicycles Blur TR Carbon SPX XC Complete Mountain Bike
Santa Cruz Bicycles Blur TR Carbon SPX XC Complete Mountain Bike $5,398.95
Classic mountain bike, or endurance weapon.
It might be hard to believe, but before the Santa Cruz Blur TR Carbon showed up, there was a void in Santa Cruz's product line. The Blur XC's at home on jittery short-track starting lines, and the Blur LT is destined for backcountry adventures. Endurance racers and riders that prefer XC weight with trail-negotiating travel were left to compromise in either direction.
The TR Carbon splits the travel difference of the XC and LT at 120mm, while favoring low weight with its optimized, high-modulus carbon chassis, and offering enhanced trail manners due to a slightly slacker head angle, lower standover height, and more travel than the Blur XC. Dressed here in the SPX XC Complete Mountain Bike kit, the TR Carbon sports Shimano XT, Easton EA70, and DT Swiss goodies to make it ready for the long hual.
The secret to the Blur TR Carbon's class leading weight-to-strength ratio is Santa Cruz's proprietary carbon processes. The front triangle of the Blur TR Carbon is constructed as once piece, rather than having components produced separately, and then bonded or wrapped. Additionally, the carbon fibers are continuous around tube junctions -- to distribute load and absorb impact energy better.
The frame looks as good on the inside as it does on the outside -- there's nothing there except smooth carbon. And just like the Blur XC Carbon, there are no riveted or bonded-on cable and hose guides, as they're incorporated into the original layup. The stiff carbon chassis is paired with the latest generation Virtual Pivot Point rear suspension.
The upper and lower links flatten out the shock rate and provide a more active feel to the early end of the axle path. The suspension allows the rear wheel to move up and back as you ride over a bump, and it balances the downward force of pedaling with the pulling force of the chain through its link configuration and axle path. The resulting movement makes it easier to roll over a bump or through a dip, and the suspension doesn't change whether you're in the saddle or not.
The Blur TR has a carbon fiber upper link that shaves weight and enhances lateral stiffness. It's counterpart on the bottom is alloy, and it has easily-serviceable grease ports. The pivots for both links have beefy 15mm locking collet axle-pins so they won't creak or loosen, and they run on intricately-sealed bearings that should last the life of the frame.
The VPP suspension of the Santa Cruz Blur TR Carbon yields 120mm of smooth travel damped by a FOX CTD rear shock -- a lightweight, reliable shock that's features an intuitive interface for simple, on-the-fly suspension tuning. It has three distinct settings; a firm 'Climbing' setting, medium 'Trail' setting, and a plush 'Descent' setting. This keeps operation straightforward and intuitive for beginners and experts alike.
Complementing the CTD rear shock is a 130mm travel FOX 32 FLOAT CTD fork. Like the 12x142mm rear axle, the fork sports a 15mm thru-axle for stiffness. A hand-laced and tensioned wheelset composed of DT Swiss 350 hubs, 14/15 gauge spokes and WTB i19 rims wrapped in Maxxis Crossmark 2.1 tubeless tires spin around those axles.
The Drivetrain is a full 3x10 Shimano XT group; including the Cranks, derailleurs, shifters, and cassette. Stopping the SPX XC are a set of 160mm Ice tech rotor equipped XT brakes. An Easton EA70 handlebar and stem share cockpit duty with a Thomson Elite seatpost and WTB Silverado Team saddle.
The Santa Cruz SPX XC Complete Mountain Bike Comes in sizes Small through X-Large, and two colors; Black/Silver and White.

Red kangaroo
The red kangaroo (Macropus rufus) is the largest of all kangaroos, the largest mammal native to Australia, and the largest extant marsupial. It is found across mainland Australia, avoiding only the more fertile areas in the south, the east coast, and the northern rainforests.
Contents |
This species is a very large kangaroo with long, pointed ears and a squared-off muzzle. Males have short, red-brown fur, fading to pale buff below and on the limbs. Females are smaller than males and are blue-grey with a brown tinge, pale grey below, although arid zone females are coloured more like males. It has two forelimbs with small claws, two muscular hind-limbs, which are used for jumping, and a strong tail which is often used to create a tripod when standing upright.
The red kangaroo's legs work much like a rubber band. The males can leap over 9 m (30 ft) in one leap.[3]
Males grow up to a head-and-body length of 1.3–1.6 m (4.3–5.2 ft) with a tail that adds a further 1–1.2 m (3.3–3.9 ft) to the total length. Females are considerably smaller, with a head-and-body length of 85–105 cm (33–41 in) and tail length of 65–85 cm (26–33 in).[4][5] Females can weigh from 18 to 40 kg (40 to 88 lb), while males typically weigh around twice as much at 55 to 85 kg (120 to 190 lb).[5][6] The average red kangaroo stands approximately 1.5 m (4.9 ft) tall to the top of the head in upright posture.[7] Large mature males can stand more than 1.8 m (5.9 ft) tall, with the largest confirmed one having been around 2.1 m (6.9 ft) tall and weighed 91 kg (200 lb).[6] Accounts of sizes greater than this are not uncommon, with some reportedly reaching a weight of approximately 150 kg (330 lb).[8]
The red kangaroo maintains its internal temperature at a point of homeostasis about 36 °C (97 °F) using a variety of physical, physiological, and behavioural adaptations. These include having an insulating layer of fur, being less active and staying in the shade when temperatures are high, panting, sweating, and licking its forelimbs.
The red kangaroo's range of vision is approximately 300°, due to the position of its eyes.[citation needed]
The red kangaroo ranges throughout western and central Australia. Its range encompasses scrubland, grassland, and desert habitats. It typically inhabits open habitats with some trees for shade.[9] Red kangaroos are capable of conserving enough water and selecting enough fresh vegetation to survive in an arid environment. The kangaroo's kidneys are also great at concentrating urine, particularly during summer.[10] Red kangaroo primarily eat green vegetation, particularly fresh grasses and forbs, and can get enough even when most plants look brown and dry.[11] One study of kangaroos in Central Australia found that green grass makes up 75–95% the diet, with Eragrostis setifolia dominating at 54%. This grass continues to be green into the dry season.[12] Kangaroos also primarily consumed this species, along with Enneapogon avanaceus, in western New South Wales where they comprised much as 21–69% of its diet according to a study.[13] During dry times, kangaroos search for green plants by staying on open grassland and near watercourses.[11] While grasses and forbs are preferred, red kangaroos will also eat certain species of chenopods, like Bassia diacantha and Maireana pyramidata, and will even browse shrubs when its favoured foods are scarce.[11] However, some perennial chenopods, such as round-leaf chenopod Kochia are avoided even when abundant.[14]
At times, red kangaroos congregate in large numbers; in areas with much forage, these groups can number as much as 1,500 individuals. Red kangaroos are mostly crepuscular and nocturnal, resting in the shade during the day.[15] However, they sometimes move about during the day. Red kangaroos rely on small saltbushes or mulga bushes for shelter in extreme heat rather than rocky outcrops or caves.[11] Grazing takes up most of their daily activities. Like most kangaroo species, they are mostly sedentary, staying within a relatively well-defined home range. However, great environmental changes can cause them to travel great distances.[11] Kangaroos in New South Wales have weekly home ranges of 258–560 ha, with the larger areas belonging to adult males.[16] When forage is poor and rainfall patchy, kangaroos will travel 25–30 km to more favourable feeding grounds.[13] Another study of kangaroos in central Australia found that most of them stay close to remaining vegetation but disperse to find fresh plants after it rains.[17] The red kangaroo is too big to be subject to significant non-human predation. They can use their robust legs and clawed feet to defend themselves from attackers with kicks and blows. However, dingoes and eagles will kill and eat joeys. Joeys are thus protected in their mother's pouch. The red kangaroo formerly did have major predators that are now extinct. One example is the thylacine, considered by palaeontologists to have once been a major natural predator of the kangaroo. Other extinct predators included the marsupial lion, megalania, and the wonambi. Kangaroos are adept swimmers, and often flee into waterways if threatened by a predator. If pursued into the water, a kangaroo may use its forepaws to hold the predator underwater so as to drown it.[18]
Red kangaroos live in groups of 2–4 members. The most common groups are females and their young.[11] Larger groups can be found in densely populated areas and females are usually with a male.[19] Membership of these groups is very flexible, and males (boomers) are not territorial, fighting only over females (flyers) that come into heat. Males develop proportionately much larger shoulders and arms than females.[20] Most agonistic interactions occur between young males, which engage in ritualised fighting known as boxing. They usually stand up on their hind limbs and attempt to push their opponent off balance by jabbing him or locking forearms. If the fight escalates, they will begin to kick each other. Using their tail to support their weight, they deliver kicks with their powerful hind legs. Compared to other kangaroo species, fights between red kangaroo males tend to involve more wrestling.[21] Fights establish dominance relationships among males, and determine who gets access to estrous females.[11] Alpha males make agonistic behaviours and more sexual behaviours until they are overthrown. Displaced males live alone and avoid close contact with others.[11]
The red kangaroo breeds all year round. The females have the unusual ability to delay birth of their baby until their previous Joey has left the pouch. This is called embryonic diapause. Copulation may last 25 minutes.[21] The red kangaroo has the typical reproductive system of a kangaroo. The neonate emerges after only 33 days. Usually only one young is born at a time. It is blind, hairless, and only a few centimetres long. Its hind legs are mere stumps; it instead uses its more developed forelegs to climb its way through the thick fur on its mother's abdomen into the pouch, which takes about three to five minutes. Once in the pouch, it fastens onto one of the two teats and starts to feed. Almost immediately, the mother's sexual cycle starts again. Another egg descends into the uterus and she becomes sexually receptive. Then, if she mates and a second egg is fertilised, its development is temporarily halted. Meanwhile, the neonate in the pouch grows rapidly. After approximately 190 days, the baby (called a joey) is sufficiently large and developed to make its full emergence out of the pouch, after sticking its head out for a few weeks until it eventually feels safe enough to fully emerge. From then on, it spends increasing time in the outside world and eventually, after around 235 days, it leaves the pouch for the last time.[22] The young Joey will permanently leave the pouch at around 235 days old, but will continue to suckle until it reaches 12 months of age. A doe may reproduce as early as 18 months of age and as late as five years during drought, but normally she is two and a half before she begins to breed.[23]
The female kangaroo is usually permanently pregnant, except on the day she gives birth; however, she has the ability to freeze the development of an embryo until the previous joey is able to leave the pouch. This is known as diapause, and will occur in times of drought and in areas with poor food sources. The composition of the milk produced by the mother varies according to the needs of the joey. In addition, red kangaroo mothers may "have up to three generations of offspring simultaneously; a young-at-foot suckling from an elongated teat, a young in the pouch attached to a second teat and a blastula in arrested development in the uterus".[21]
Relationship with humans
The red kangaroo is still an abundant species and like all Australian wildlife is protected by legislation. It has even benefited from the spread of agriculture and creation of man-made waterholes. However competition with livestock and rabbits poses a threat. It is also sometimes shot by farmers as a pest although a "destruction permit" is required from the relevant state government.
Kangaroos dazzled by headlights or startled by engine noise often leap in front of vehicles, severely damaging or destroying smaller or unprotected vehicles. The risk of harm to vehicle occupants is greatly increased if the windscreen is the point of impact. As a result, "kangaroo crossing" signs are commonplace in Australia.
Commercial use
The kangaroo is so numerous that there is regulated harvest of its hide and meat. Hunting permits and commercial harvesting are controlled under nationally approved management plans, which aim to maintain red kangaroo populations and manage them as a renewable resource. Harvesting of kangaroos is controversial, particularly due to the animal's popularity.[23]
In the year 2000, 1,173,242 animals were killed.[24] In 2009 the government put a limit of 1,611,216 for the number of red kangaroos available for commercial use. The kangaroo industry is worth about A$270 million each year, and employs over 4000 people.[25] The kangaroos provide meat for both humans and pet food. Kangaroo meat is very lean with only about 2% fat. Their skins are used for leather.

HirudiTrenton, NjIt Had Its Plus's And Minus'si dont like the way this machine is curved (opposed to the straight one i had b4) because some parts of my body are more straight and its hard to reach all those spots, but what i did like about it was that it had a faster speed than my last epilator, so it felt like it was doing the job faster whether it really was or not.posted Jan 6, 2006Link to this post
TonyNew York, NYNot Just For Women!I am a 24 year old man, and I have coarse black hair on my back that drives me crazy. I was a bit nervous trying an epilator, becuase a lot of people complain in reviews about how much it hurts. I tried the emjoi gold epilator, and although it did hurt on the more sensitive areas of my back, it was nowhere near unbearable! In fact, it was much easier, tons more effective, quicker, and so much less painful than waxing! It did give me some red bumpy irritation afterwards, but moisturizer cleared that up quickly (try Lushs enzymion). Overall, Im really glad that I bought it, and Im super pleased with my new smooth back!posted Nov 1, 2005Link to this post
MaryBoston, MAFinally A Solution!Ive tried many many types of hair removal, including shaving, waxing, and electrolysis, but none has satisfied me as much as this epilator.Ive never owned something like this before, and was a little weary of trying it, afraid that it would be another product that didnt deliver. Well, I was right in giving it a try, its super! The areas of the body that I used it on and I would say works the best are: legs, stomach (maybe also lower back) and DEFINITELY underarms. It also works for bikini, but its a little bit frustrating, and its much painful than the quick swipe of wax. I guess after you wax, once the hairs start growing in one at a time, it would be much better to use it. As far as underarms go, oh my god, I never thought the day would come when I had NO HAIR there. Tired of ugly stubble, I tried growing it out and waxing before and it was the worst experience. The wax only pulled out half the hair, and all of the skin with it. The skin was so raw I couldnt wax again, a big pain in general. Unlike wax, this only pulls out the hair, it doesnt hurt the skin, so the only pain you feel is from the hair being pulled out. Yes, it is a little bit painful and irritating, but its SO worth it. I also got rid of the hair on my stomach, FINALLY. Its just such a great product, give it a try!posted Oct 16, 2005Link to this post
Gail ManzanedoCaliforniaBoo!I have used an Epilady epilator for years. Im not sure why I decided to switch brands and try this product, but I am very disappointed. This product is not as effective as the Epilady, does not remove even half of the hair that Epilady does. It is no less painful, but remember that its not nearly as painful if you keep using one of these products. It is WAY louder than the Epilady also, and almost twice the cost. Save yourself some money ladies, and get an Epilady instead.posted Aug 24, 2005Link to this post
AnonymousWorks Great On LegsThis is the first time in my life that I dont have to worry about hairy legs. If youre used to waxing, the pain involved with this machine is minimal. The products shape impedes using it on the bikini area, but it doesnt really matter; its way too painful to be used there and on the armpits. Ill stick to waxing and/or shaving for those areas.posted Aug 12, 2005Link to this post
LeilaNorthern VirginiaWonderful Product!Let me tell you, Im a Persian girl who has been hairy all her life. Im only 19 years old, but since the age of 13 Ive been busy finding ways to remove hair. Eventually, I plan I getting laser hair removal for many parts of my body, but let me tell you, this product is definitely worth a buy. It is fast and VERY efficient. It does hurt, at first, but the results are worth it. Your hair grows back much thinner and you stay smooth for a LONG time. When the hair starts to grow back and you epillate again, it does not hurt nearly half as much. Use it everywhere!! :)posted Jul 21, 2005Link to this post
MkChicagoFinally! A Product That Actually Works!Back in the 80s I tried one of those torture devices known as the "Epilady". Yikes! That was the most painful thing I have ever tried and frankly for the pain it caused it didnt work all that well. Since then Ive tried virtually every hair removal products known to woman - waxing, electrolysis, tweezing, shaving, creams, lotions, body sugaring, you name it and I have tried it. I found that everything I tried was either too expensive, too messy, too time consuming or just didnt work. I had seen the "Gently Caress Gold" in magazines, stores etc but I was never willing to take the chance of facing another product that didnt deliver on its claim, especially with such a hefty price tag. After stumbling onto this site and reading the reviews I decided to give it a shot. I am so glad that I did! As soon as the box arrived at my door I ripped it open. I read the instructions twice to make sure that I knew what I was doing. Fortunately I had just taken a shower so I was really ready to go. I turned it on and was pleasently surprised to find that it didnt hurt half as much as I thought it would. I guess with the pain of the epilady still burned into my memory, and having been through childbirth twice, everything else is a walk in the park!It took about 5 minutes to do each leg, maybe less. I hadnt shaved in the shower, but I had shaved 2 days before so that hair was still short which I think makes a difference. The key to using this product successfully I think, is reading and really understanding the directions. You have to make sure that you have the unit facing the correct way (with the logo facing away from you), and that you use it in the direction of the hair growth, not against it. You have to take short, quick little strokes in one direction. You also have to make sure that your skin is clean, oil free and exfoliated. If you follow the manufacturers instructions I dont see how you can fail. I sat on the floor in the living and watched TV while I did it. It was THAT easy. I couldnt believe how smooth my legs were when I was finished, considering this was my first time and I kind of hurried through it. I could never get that smooth with shaving. I didnt experience any redness or irritation and I have very fair and sensitive skin. I havent tried it yet on my underarms or face, but as far as the legs go Im sold. I am extremely pleased with this product and would recommend it without hesitation.posted Jul 21, 2005Link to this post
JediCatskill Mountains, NyI Like This Producti used it for the first time a few days after receiving it. i works great. my underarms were smooth and my legs were reasonably smooth (there was a little stubble left that the tweezers could not reach). i lost my nerve at the bikini area, but that is next!it is painful but no more than waxing. when the pain got bad i just glided it a little slower across my skin and that helped a lot.posted Jul 8, 2005Link to this post
JenCaliforniaDisappointedI did not expect miracles, and I was prepared for pain, but nonetheless, I was not pleased with my first second or third use of this product. The pain is like many little static shocks, and it is not really alleviated by the vibration of the unit. As for hair elimination, this will not give you the complete removal smoothness of waxing or shaving. I had a fine stubble from use of the product, as it only broke the fine hairs, and did not pull them out. On the other hand, it will do an excellent job of thinning. Im not sure I have any use for that, but if you do (i.e. arm hair?) you may try this. Im not happy with the unit, but I will continue using it a little longer to see if results improve.posted Jun 27, 2005Link to this post
