Fantagraphics with comiXology releases Oil and Water the gripping collaboration between Steve Duin and Shannon Wheeler. This devastating look at the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history follows ten Oregonians to the Gulf Coast to gather first-person accounts of the destructive impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. In this 144-page graphic novel — written by Steve Duin, a columnist for The Oregonian, and illustrated by Eisner-winning New Yorker cartoonist Shannon Wheeler — readers will tour the shark-pocked beach at Grand Isle with the local head of Homeland Security; step aboard the crabbing boat of a 20-year-old Mississippian who works 16-hour days and spends his nights dreaming of M.I.T.; enter the "Hot Zone" where volunteers work desperately to save brown pelicans drenched in British petroleum; and hear shrimpers, Vietnamese and good ol' boys alike, describe what happens to their livelihood when 200 million gallons of oil flood the scene. The readers' perspective on what hope and what mission remains along a ravaged coastline, and one awash in both seafood and oil, will be changed as irrevocably as that of these ten Oregonians. For $17.99, read the true-life story of volunteers who worked (and are still working) in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. And take the bus or walk to work! "A powerful eco-report, Oil and Water also manages to be a report on the gap between classes that isn't about who has what, but rather about what 'having' means to different groups of Americans.... The large black-and-white images are realistic and create individual characteristics for the cast; its smudged texture is an excellent vehicle for the intrusion of oil on beaches, birds, livelihoods, and prospects for the future. Quick to read, but of lasting weight for readers from either side of the divide." "A lot of our goals had to do with keeping the environmental disaster on the radar nationally, saying 'This is something that what we did that's a travesty,' basically, and 'How do we keep paying attention to it so it gets cleaned up and never happens again?' It's a big deal." –Jason Sacks, Comics Bulletin

The new prepackaged Online Commentaries & Diversion: •Commentary: The Huffington Post made it over to the Robert Crumb exhibit called "Crumb: From the Underground to the Genesis" at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville in Paris: "Never one to shy away from his love-hate relationship with women, Crumb invited the world into his most perverted fantasies, one which includes riding on his mother's boot." •Interview: Zachary Hunchar of Technorati questions Pete Bagge about a long life in comics. "People expect their entertainment to be for free now," said Bagge. "Musicians compensate for it by performing live more often, but the only equivalent to that for cartoonists is more comic conventions." •Interview: WTF Podcast with host Marc Maron digs into the essentials of Tony Millionaire's work: "[Marc's place] is like my place, I have a very small garage, built for a model T, and it's cluttered. I have all the corners I need to work in." •Commentary: Tom Spurgeon is afraid of all the press releases for San Diego Comic-Con will overwhelm your normall-observant Hernandez Brothers' radar. On the Comics Reporter, he made an impassioned called for Love and Rockets coverage during the 2012 Comic-Con International: "It's vital for the medium we love . . . that we treat San Diego as a place where Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez have been in attendance more than 25 times each more than we treat it as a place Steven Spielberg has been to once. Both Jaime and Gilbert remain vital, exciting cartoonists. . ." •Plug: Gene Ambaum of Unshelved touches on Oil & Water by Steve Duin, Shannon Wheeler and Michael Rosen: "[an] anti plastic activist and bird enthusiast," who wears a strange cyclops-like lens to aid his bird watching, says he has 'the poop story to end all poop stories.' He doesn't tell it until the end of the book, so I had to keep reading." •Review: From a rather rough translation of Swedien's second largest newspaper, Expressen, Jan Gradvall speaks on Paul Nelson from the book Everything is an Afterthought: The Life and Writings of Paul Nelson by Kevin Avery: "Paul Nelson invested all of his feelings [in] records, books, movies. Them he could communicate with - not with live people."
What happens when you have to miss a couple of days of the comics internet is that it takes you almost the whole rest of the week to get fully caught up on Online Commentary & Diversions: • List: Library Journal's Martha Cornog gives a nice shout-out to Carl Barks and recommends Oil and Water by Steve Duin & Shannon Wheeler as one of "30 Graphic Novels for Earth Day 2012": "Wheeler's atmospheric, ink-washed greys capture eccentric residents from crabbers to a pelican-rescue team, and Duin's script catches the ironic resiliency of people exploited by the very industry that feeds them.... Valuable for high schoolers and adults as a glimpse into the crisis, and for general sensitization to environmental issues." • Review: "When I brought Pogo home from the bookstore on a Sunday afternoon, I called my daughters over, and we lay on the floor in the living room and read it together. I read it aloud, because half of the fun of Pogo is hearing the fantastic dialogue penned by Kelly, and my daughters loved it. I'm sure there were things that went over their heads — jokes that rely on experiences they haven't had, references to past events, wordplay that's a little too sophisticated. But the beauty of the strip is that does work on so many levels. There's slapstick humor, cute little talking animals, and keen observations on the human condition — the last made easier to swallow perhaps because the characters aren't people, as human as they may be." – Jonathan Liu, Wired – GeekDad • Review: "[Jason] populates his tales with brightly clad cats and dogs and ducks, but their misbehavior is unmistakably human.... [Athos in America] is... consummately worth reading for its three gems: the lovely title story, the self-portrait 'A Cat From Heaven' and the wonderful 'Tom Waits on the Moon,' in which Jason carefully maps the crossed paths of four lonely people." – Sam Thielman, Newsday • Review: "Despair threatens to overwhelm the creator's usual tales of longing [in Athos in America]. In 'A Cat From Heaven,' his characteristic unrequited love story gives way to a somewhat depressing look at a self-absorbed cartoonist named Jason's bitter relationship. Mercifully, the rest of the collection is a little more playful, from a couple noir parodies to the highlight, 'Tom Waits on the Moon,' in which four solipsistic stories converge in a tragic act." – Mike Sebastian, Campus Circle • Review: "The Sincerest Form of Parody: The Best 1950s MAD-Inspired Satirical Comics is a wonderful book collecting the best stories of the beginnings of a favorite comic book genre — and I can't emphasize this enough — it's put together by people who know what they're doing. Plus, it's designed to fit on your bookshelf right next to your MAD Archives volumes. I can't believe that you haven't already picked this up! Are you unsane?!?" – K.C. Carlson, Comics Worth Reading • Review: "If [Wandering Son] Vol. 1 was a masterclass in people not wanting to accept the status quo within their own minds, Vol. 2 shows the uncertainty of the waiting world. The way that Nitori and Takatsuki fumble forward with no plan is painful and endearing. They know the two of them are better together but there's the problem of dealing with classmates, family and teachers. It's not easy and well done to Takako for not short-circuiting the process. It's not easy writing characters in distress but it's wonderful to read it. If you can recognise the character's pain and sympathise despite your differences, it proves you're human and so is the author.... So much of what we read is a kind of literary false economy. We put in so much and get so little out of it. Wandering Son asks so little of you and you get so much out of it.... It is a wonderful, sweet, heartbreaking window into being different, young, unsure, afraid and human." – Eeeper's Choice • Review: "[The Man Who Grew His Beard]'s a big batch of critic-friendly comic strips, comics which resemble curios excavated from some none-too-defined European past and more often than not have all the daring shallow-space visual syntax of a Garfield strip. They're less stories than contraptions that wear their artifice and structure on their sleeve, like those medieval homunculi which transparently show their cogs and mechanisms while making their programmed movements." – Rich Baez, It's Like When a Cowboy Becomes a Butterfly • Review: "Action! Mystery! Thrills!... beautifully resurrects all the Golden Age favorites, from superheroes to killer robots to cowboys and occult Nazis. This time capsule collection of cover art spans from 1933-45... An index in the back gives the fascinating stories behind the covers, while the full-page, color reproductions reveal them for what they are: works of art." – Mike Sebastian, Campus Circle • Review: "Primarily known for his ghoulish comic strips in Playboy and The New Yorker, Gahan Wilson showed his tender side (kind of) with Nuts. Originally a series of one-page vignettes running in National Lampoon, Nuts is presented here in its entirety as a classic warts-and-all reminiscence of childhood, from sick days to family gatherings, the joys of candy to the terrors of the dark basement." – Mike Sebastian, Campus Circle • Review: "R. Crumb hit it big in the '60s alternative Comix scene with his creation of Fritz the Cat (originally conceived as an adolescent). The feline protagonist remained Crumb's avatar for lambasting American culture until a lackluster film adaptation prompted some divine retribution from his creator. The Life and Death of Fritz the Cat collects all of Fritz's essential stories." – Mike Sebastian, Campus Circle • Analysis: The Hooded Utilitarian's critical roundtable on Jaime Hernandez rolls on with entries from Derik Badman; the author of our forthcoming Love and Rockets Companion, Marc Sobel; and (Mome 22 contributor) James Romberger • Awards: GalleyCat reports that Author Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer, contributor to Significant Objects, has won the $1,000 Sidney Prize, which rewards "the author of the best new American story," and has a link to an excerpt from the winning story • Opinions: Robert Crumb's got 'em! In the third installment of the "Crumb On Others" series, he lets you know exactly what he thinks of a bunch of prominent personalities, from Hitler to Ghandi (in whose homeland Crumb can be seen above) and from Kurtzman to Van Gogh • Interview: When The Comics Journal posted the Q&A with Bill Griffith conducted by Gary Panter, I called it the must-read of the day, and it still stands as your must-read of the week: "I've only taken LSD twice in my life. Once on the beach in Martha's Vineyard in 1967, which was pleasant, but not ego-shattering or anything. And once in New York after I'd started doing comics. All I remember about the second time was, I got hemorrhoids." • Interview: Who better to talk to Matthias Wivel, editor of our Scandinavian comics anthology Kolor Klimax, than Steffen Maarup, editor of our Danish comics anthology From Wonderland with Love? A taste: "Putting together a good anthology is similar to making a good mixtape. Whatever the individual merits of a piece, it won't do to include it if it doesn't somehow work for the anthology as a whole. There has to be a consistent idea or tone to the book, which doesn't mean that there can't be dissonance — there's some of that in Kolor Klimax, and I think for the better — but the individual parts still have to generate something greater than their sum. It's incredibly difficult to achieve, but also a lot of fun."

Today's Online Commentary & Diversions: • Feature: Jennifer Anderson, one of the participants in the PDX2GulfCoast project along with Steve Duin & Shannon Wheeler which resulted in Oil and Water, writes for the Beaverton Valley Times: "As the newspaper reporter character in the book, I can attest — 100-percent objectively, of course — that the book is at once tragic, funny, poignant and thought-provoking," and talks to some local experts and Duin himself about the book (via Bleeding Cool of all places) • Plugs: At Blog Martins Fontes Paulista, Raphael Fernandes runs down "10 Must-See Comics from Fantagraphics for 2012," saying (translated from Portuguese) "Possessing an enviable catalog of experimental and underground comics, Fantagraphics Books is an American publisher that deserves special attention."
Today's Online Commentary & Diversions: • List: The first part of Comic Book Resources' Top 100 Comics of 2011 countdown includes Jim Woodring's Congress of the Animals at #88... "It takes a bit of daring to be willing to alter the status quo in a respected body of work and considerable talent to be able to do so in as assured manner as Woodring does here." – Chris Mautner ...Mark Twain's Autobiography 1910-2010 by Michael Kupperman at #87... "Through war, animal make-out sessions and film writing, Kupperman takes Twain through the ringer in a hilariously catastrophic epic that the real-life 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' author would surely have appreciated. Although reading it won't score you any points on a history-class term paper, the book will certainly open your eyes to one of the funniest writers working in comics right now." – Brian Warmoth ...and Johnny Ryan's Prison Pit Book 3 at #86... "The excessive violence is still here, more refined, more imaginative, more disturbing. Ryan pushes himself artistically in the second half of the book, delivering a stunning sequence that still haunts me." – Chad Nevett ...and in the second part of CBR's countdown, Love from the Shadows by Gilbert Hernandez at #70... "I picture Gilbert Hernandez approaching his drawing board these days like Lawrence of Arabia approaching a Turkish convoy: 'NO PRISONERS! NO PRISONERS!' In a year suffused with comics funneling pitch-black darkness through a combination of sex and horror, none were blacker, sexier, or more horrific than this gender-bending exploitation flick from Beto's 'Fritz-verse.'" – Sean T. Collins ...and Leslie Stein's Eye of the Majestic Creature at #61: "Leslie Stein burst onto the comics scene this year when Fantagraphics published the collection of four of her self-published comics... The comic is both surreal and mundane, the story of a young woman who moves to a New York complete with humanoid animals and talking musical instruments. ...Stein [is] one of the best independent creators to emerge in recent years." – Alex Dueben • List: Robot 6's Graeme McMillan picks his 5 favorite books of 2011, including Stigmata by Lorenzo Mattotti & Claudio Piersanti... "Way back at the end of last year, I called this the best graphic novel of 2011, and if I'm now a little more reticent to make that claim, it has more to do with the high quality of a lot of other releases this year than anything else because this is still a masterpiece that, were I some kind of unlikely comics czar, I'd make compulsory reading for everyone interested in the medium. Just a breathtaking book." ...Ganges #4 by Kevin Huizenga... "Another book that I raved about earlier this year, and another one that I'm still raving about as strongly months later. A tour-de-force of cartooning from a creator who just continually improves, and pushes at the medium in almost everything he does." ...and Celluloid by Dave McKean: "It's a disturbing book in many ways – questions about exploitation and power are very present in the text – but also a beautiful, seductive one. It's a book that sticks with you for a long time afterwards, and for that alone, it's one I've returned to many times since first reading it." • List: Panel Patter's Rob McMonigal names his Best of 2011: Manga Edition, with Wandering Son Vol. 1 by Shimura Takako in the #5 spot: "This is one of the most serious manga series I've ever read, and I finished it unable to come to grips with the best way to review it. Dealing with two children who come to realize they are trapped in the wrong gender, it's a story of secrets, revelations, understandings, and occasional cruelty. The book handles the topic with care and respect, however, which is part of why it is so good." • List: Another top-10 from Panel Patter's Rob McMonigal, whose Best of 2011: Indie Comics, is topped by 3 of our titles: Jason & Fabien Vehlmann's Isle of 100,000 Graves... "Isle of 100,000 Graves has Jason's trademark deadpan humor, resolute protagonist, and ending that leaves the reader thinking." ...The Hidden by Richard Sala... "At first, The Hidden feels like a typical apocalyptic story, albeit one painted amazingly well by Sala. But as things progress, the tale morphs and twists into one of the best horror comics I've read, with a twist towards the end that I never saw coming. That's what makes a comic stand out, and puts it near the top of my best of list." ...and Mark Twain's Autobiography 1910-2010 by Michael Kupperman at #1: "I laughed out loud so many times over this mixture of text and illustration. It's a pitch-perfect book with almost no mis-steps, and I hereby call it my Best Indie Comic of 2011." • List: At the Forbidden Planet International blog, comics creator John Riordan names Love and Rockets: New Stories #4 as one of his 3 favorite comics of the year, commenting only "My… aching… heart…" • Review: "I found myself turning back and re-examining the pages often, digging through the many details that the words and images delivered. The story unfolds in earth tone – sepia illustrations, not gaudy, in keeping with the artist's respect for the story and the subject. Clemente's early life is here and one gets a real feel for his family and friends, and not without humor.... [21: The Story of Roberto Clemente] should appeal to graphic novel fans, baseball fans, anyone who likes a great 'bigger then fiction' story, and many others." – Mark Hodgens, Skyscraper Magazine • Review: "Fantagraphics is now giving Barks' Duck comics a whirl, and based off this first volume alone if there's any justice in the comics world, fame should finally (belatedly) be coming for the late, great Barks.... The reproduction on these strips are beautiful; Fantagraphics hired cartoonist Rich Tommaso to re-color the works, and Tommaso wisely uses gentle flat tones to keep with the overall feel of Barks' crisp, classic art. I also appreciated the essays about the different stories in the back of the book.... Donald Duck: Lost in the Andes is a handsome looking book, and trust me when I say it's just the first of many I plan on reading by Barks." – Greg McElhatton, Read About Comics • Review: "So cue the squeals, and scan the racks at your friendly neighborhood comics retailer for writer/artist Michael Kupperman's Tales Designed to Thrizzle #7. Beyond a cover whose hilarity strangely if successfully depends on its all-day-sucker coloring — tangerine, lemon, lime — this dadaistic offering opens with a six-page excerpt from Scary Bathtub Stories, a faux-Golden Age comic, and thereafter spirals further and further into neo-psychedelic weirdness." – Bryan Hollerbach, PLAYBACK:stl • Review: "I like to imagine [Michael Kupperman] sitting in some tiny hellhole of a studio apartment packed deep into the bowels of New York -- these noble creatures lose their mystique when they own homes -- doing mutant Thrizzle pages until they stop paying him or until he gets a gig in the back pages of Vice. Some feminine if not female voice of reason hovers next to his desk, thumbing through the newest set as he leans back in his chair, wondering if Fantagraphics paid him enough to afford blowing the budget on a beer, wiping entirely imaginary sweat from his brow." – Patrick Tobin, Multiversity Comics • Interview: The Comics Reporter's Tom Spurgeon talks to Oil and Water writer Steve Duin: "I'm too new to all of this to fully grasp how the perfect union of writer and artist is formed... and there were times when Shannon [Wheeler] and I struggled to find common ground. But a great deal of my understanding of what we were dealing with in the Gulf owes to Shannon's perceptions and his sketchbook. He was refreshingly aggressive in dealing with the BP clean-up teams disinclined to give us access. His original poster for the group -- a naked woman starring incredulously at the oil derrick in her bed, and saying 'What do you mean, it broke?' -- is brilliant." • Interview: Bookforum's John Madeira, who says "...Alexander Theroux's writing... is grandiloquently lyrical, dizzyingly erudite, and often acerbic," talks with Theroux about The Strange Case of Edward Gorey ("a smart, engaging, and insightful monograph asking as many questions about the quirky artist as attempts at answers") and other topics: "Edward Gorey was very ornate — Corinthian! — in his love of language, and when he was in a chatty mood his conversation, crackling with allusions, was rich and often rare, exaggerated, campy to a degree, invariably tinctured with lots of movie-love, sarcasm, irony. Mind you, it was not that the man was trying to be something, contriving, say, to appear a cavalcade of wit, merely that, rather like Dr. Samuel Johnson, he happened to have sharp, remarkable 'views' on all sorts of subjects, almost all worthy of note." • Plugs: One more from Panel Patter's Rob McMonigal, who recommends some things to pick up in our current 40%-off Inventory Reduction Sale
Today's Online Commentary & Diversions: • List: Oil and Water by Steve Duin & Shannon Wheeler is #5 on Comics Bulletin's Top Ten Best Graphic Novels of 2011, with Jason Sacks saying "This book is very much about misconceptions and preconceptions, about how we all can feel inadequate when facing enormous problems and how little we often feel we can do in when facing even the small incidents in our lives -- let alone the large ones." • Review: Booklist's starred review of Nuts by Gahan Wilson (previously reported here) is now featured online: "The scenarios include summer camp, going to horror movies, being sick and obsessing about it, making models, eating too much, not knowing the answer (or even the subject) in school, selecting comics in the local cigar store, and other normal-enough stuff that holds the potential for humiliation, failure, and maybe worse. In Nuts, that potential is always realized and, as memory colors it, so uproariously that you just about choke with laughter. For sheer hilarity, this is Wilson's masterpiece." – Ray Olson • Plugs: Comics Alliance's Andy Khouri runs down their Holiday Gift Guide to Deluxe Edition Comics and Art Books, including: "You've read our effusive praise for the incredible cartooning and hilariously grim Mickey Mouse stories of Floyd Gottfredson, and this excellent two-volume set leaves you with few excuses for not reading these classic comics for yourself.... It's hard to go wrong with this as a gift for your comics fan friends (or yourself), as it's a superlative example of the form from one of its greatest masters." "I can tell you from personal experience that even one of these books makes a fantastic present, but to give the gift of the complete Love and Rockets is to provide your friend or loved one with a reading experience richer than virtually any other." "Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang are often associated with the holiday season (also with Halloween, and that counts), so there's no better time to give to yourself or your loved ones one or all of Fantagraphics' hardcover collections of Charles Schultz's beloved cartoon strip. Reprinted in chronological order with the highest production values, any one of these books would make an auspicious addition to any bookshelf." • Plug: "Reading cartoons is a good way to relax and the latest volume of The Complete Peanuts covers the years 1979 and 1980.... The strips with Woodstock and Snoopy are particularly funny. This latest collection of Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts cartoons would make a nice gift." – Glenn Perrett, Simcoe.com • Plug: Robot 6's Chris Arrant takes note of our beery collaboration with Elysian Brewing, featuring the artwork of Charles Burns |

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) new STEADI Tool Kit gives health care providers information and tools to assess and address their older patients' falls risk.
The STEADI (Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths and Injuries) Tool Kit is based on a simple algorithm adapted from the American and British Geriatric Societies' Clinical Practice Guideline. It includes basic information about falls, case studies, conversation starters, and standardized gait and balance assessment tests (with instructional videos). In addition, there are educational handouts about falls prevention specifically designed for patients and their friends and family.
APTA members who are experts in falls prevention assisted CDC with the development of the toolkit, specifically with the evidence based community falls prevention programs. Additionally, APTA staff appear in several videos on tests that were recorded at APTA.
A link to the toolkit also is available on APTA's Balance and Falls webpage under "Related Resources."

The shampoo has a creamy consistency to it, not a sudsy one; yet washes my hair effectively and gently. The conditioner is very creamy and does a great job. After my wash and shampoo my hair feels very soft. Because the product works so well, I only blow dry and have no need to use a flat iron. After blow drying, my hair has a glass like appearance with excellent shine. It further strengthened my hair; prior to using this treatment, my hair was very elastic and would snap easily while wet. It holds up well over time, I have gone so far as two weeks before washing my hair again because it still looked so good!
An issue a potential buyer needs to be aware of is that while using this maintenance treatment, avoid all other protein conditioners/products. Too much protein will make ones hair stiff, dry, and like straw.posted May 4, 2013Link to this post -
Lisa B.HairMedium BrownCurly HairChemically Treated HairGreat Products!I have been using these 3 products for a couple years now. They have made such a difference in the way my hair turns out! I have naturally curly hair that I blow out & straight iron. These products just make the whole process easier as they keep my hair more smooth to begin with & reduce the drying time, also keeping my hair more healthy. My hair's been the best it's been because of the Keratin Complex products. Would recommend them to anyone!

AimeeMidwestHairLight BrownDry HairFine or Thin HairKeratin Complex Value Set...blahThe shampoo was nothing special, the conditioner made my hair feel great-while I was in the shower, but that's about it. The infusion??? Not sure what the point of this is. It smells great, beachy, but it felt dull and trying to apply "a little bit" seemed pointless. The minute I rubbed my hands together it seemed to disappear. My hair was just as frizzy after drying as it always is. Another disappointment. Keep in mind though that I never had the salon keratin treatment, I was just looking for a gentle smoothing product line. I'm going to be returning this set.posted Oct 10, 2012Link to this post
Wendy A.Manassas, VAHairBlackOily HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairLoveeeee It!!!I had read a couple of negative reviews; but after trying this product out I am in love with it. I have curly/ thin hair; and I would flat iron my hair but it would curl back after a while; when I went to bed next day it would be curly again. Now I have gone up to 3 days with out washing my hair and my hair looks just like if I had flat ironed it. I even went to the store and it was raining my hair was fine. Its so shiny and silky I just can't believe it myself. I have left my curls and I love the fact that they are more defined and ZERO!! frizz. This product is doing 2 in 1 job. Keeps my hair straight like I always wanted and my curls look amazing. There is really no need for a keratin treatment; this is way beyond what I expected. You gotta try it. Not let a negative review stop you from trying it .posted Sep 21, 2012Link to this post
EstelleBuffalo Grove, ILHairAuburnCurly HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairGreat ProductsThe shampoo and conditioner are really nice products but it is the infusion therapy that I am thrilled about. I had the Keratin process done about 2 weeks ago and the infusion enhances the process. It is an amazing product. Just a drop after shampooing and conditioning makes my hair smooth and shiny. It is the best product I have ever used on my hair. You can throw away your flat iron.posted Aug 21, 2012Link to this post

PeggyPhiladelphiaHairBlondeDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairIt's OkI like the shampoo, the conditioner is VERY thin, thinner than the shampoo, and the Keratin Complex Infusion is nice but after 24 hours, my hair became very knotty (only wash my hair once every 3 days)
I have used worse and have used better. The smell is very nice. I have course, highlighted hair that is weak. Not sure if I will purchase again.posted Apr 19, 2012Link to this post -

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2015-01681 RIN 2900-AP25 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Proposed rule. Comments must be received by VA on or before March 30, 2015. 38 CFR Part 36 This document proposes to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Loan Guaranty Service (LGY) regulations that govern adjustable rate mortgages made in conjunction with the Home Loan Guaranty program. These revisions would align VA's disclosure and interest rate adjustment requirements with the implementing regulations of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), as recently revised by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Specifically, the rule would amend the timing, content, and format requirements for the disclosures provided to borrowers prior to an interest-rate adjustment. The proposed regulation would also require that an interest-rate adjustment correspond with the interest rate index available 45 days prior to the adjustment. This proposed rulemaking would ensure VA's consistency with other applicable consumer finance and housing regulations governing adjustable rate mortgages.

Upgrading A Small-Block Chevrolet Engine - Weekend Update
Written by on April 29, 2010 Modern Muscle For A Vintage Small-BlockI walked into my pal John Barkley's garage one day a few months ago and found him hovering wrench in hand over a small-block Chevy short-block-not an uncommon occurrence as Barkley is a lifelong drag racer and SBC aficionado. At that point I assumed he was assembling another one of his race motors, but when I asked what he was up to, he explained that he was freshening up an early pre-smog engine, a vintage '64 327 in fact-and he seemed pretty excited about it too. Not being a real engine guy (to me a rebuild usually consists of degreasing and repainting) I asked if he was building another race motor. "Nope, I'm just freshening up this old 327 I yanked out of my '57. These older pre-smog motors are getting pretty rare, and because of the smog laws some states have on the books, it's a perfect engine for a street rod or classic pickup as its casting numbers are unique to that era. This one has about 20,000 miles on a complete rebuild so the bottom end is in great shape. But being such an early engine it has a pretty stout compression ratio (10.0:1) and the early valvetrain required leaded fuel to help lube the valve stems and guides-that's two strikes against running it on the lead-free fuel we're stuck with these days. So I thought I'd just update the top end-in the previous rebuild the block was bored .040-over and the new slugs sit about .040 or .050 below deck height. That reduced compression a bit and the new RHS Vortec-style heads I chose have a larger chamber (64 cc versus 60 cc) than the stock ones so that drops the compression into a more lead-free fuel-friendly range."
Well, it made sense to me-especially his wish to take advantage of an engine that is really smog compliant (or legally non-compliant as the case may be) and to end up with a powerful engine that runs on the crappy fuel we're stuck with these days. Another thing he brought to my attention was the importance of matching components. Though Barkley is well versed in what works and what doesn't, he does suggest utilizing the expertise of the professionals available through the tech lines most all component manufacturers offer. These folks are adept at offering suggestions that help a novice or the occasional engine builder end up with a powerplant that really fits their needs or wants.
In this case Barkley had his starting point (the early 327 we're showing here) and his choice of the RHS No.12410-01 cylinder heads. From that point he dialed up the COMP Cams tech line for some input regarding his intentions and what combination of components would help him achieve his goal. After a bit of back and forth as to what he was looking to achieve COMP suggested a cam kit that'd work well in that regard (in this case a COMP Extreme Energy cam kit No. SK 12-234-2). Using this suggestion and his practical experience Barkley gathered the balance of components for the build that I luckily walked in on.
And since I'm not the best source of engine building tech it'd more than likely be best to take a look at the images I took that day. I certainly came away with a better understanding of what he was doing, and his results were exactly what he'd hoped to achieve-a great performing pre-smog engine assembled in a weekend for a modest investment in time and greenbacks.

Passion and innovation are the hallmarks of Chopard's philosophy, reflected in each unique creation of the L.U.C collection. On the inside or from the outside, each timepiece is the ultimate expression of beauty and the peak of watch-making art.
In the iconic Happy Diamonds collection, the most precious of stones, the diamond, is free to dance, twirl and shine between two sapphire crystals. The famous moving diamonds is one of the most fascinating jewelry innovations in recent decades.
Performing a dramatic metamorphosis. Leaving the glow of day to be surrounded in starlight: choosing a piece of jewelry and matching it with a moment, a look, a magic. Making it a nocturnal "open sesame".
Like a fragment of history that has found its way unscathed through time thanks to its noble and understated character, the Classic collection is a bridge between past and present, a link between the prestigious pocket-watches that forged the reputation of brand founder Louis-Ulysse Chopard, and modern-day wristwatches.
Unfailing passion and enduring emotion combine to create watches of timeless nature, much like the classic cars that they honor. Three collections and one world of tradition and know-how that build a bridge between automotive engineering and mechanical watch-making.
With feminine watches and jewels interpreted in the various gold colours, "La Strada" returns more voluptuous than ever, as a pathway to pure emotions. Discover a collection directly inspired by the world of the eponymous movie of Italian maestro Federico Fellini.
Since the Art Deco period, Chopard has shown its savoir faire in terms of jewelry watchmaking. A fervent admirer of diamonds just like her father, Caroline Scheufele has adorned the finest models in her collections with these precious gems.

Fitness Gear 12 lb Medicine Ball
Excellent product
Please see my review for the 10lb. Medicine ball. Not an expert on medicine balls but I have no complaints on these. I would recommend them for purchase.
July 30, 2014
this product is not what it appears
I work at a fitness club and we've broken two of them and they aren't even two months old yet. They look solid and well built but wear down very quickly and crack easily
June 27, 2013
working out with the medicine really is a good work out I love it :-)
January 29, 2013
Definitely would recommend this product
Like the size -- I am a female CrossFit athlete and use this as part of a home workout doing weighed sit-ups -- it fits my hands better than the bigger balls. Also can use it to do "mountain climbers," could definitely use it for wall balls and med ball cleans -- all in all, it was the right choice for me.
October 22, 2012
Good Grip
Good grip makes it an excellent choice for push ups
October 17, 2012
Gets the job done!
You can work out with this almost anywhere
October 16, 2012
A very good exercise ball
This medicine will help you increase your core strenthg as well as your upper body and lower body if you do the right excercises.Overall, a very good ball for training of athletes.
October 16, 2012
Heavy duty. Feels like it will last a long time. A little pricey but i guess you get what you pay for.
June 11, 2012
medicine ball
i started a medicine ball workout. works great. the grip on this ball is good. i can't think of anything bad to say about it. awesome purchase
June 4, 2012
High Quality Product
Previously purchased a different type of medicine ball from another retailer but returned them because they weren't as rugged and high quality as these. I have the 8lb model as well. These are perfect for P90X2 workout to do push ups on, etc. Since they weren't currently in stock in the store they ordered them for me and shipped them to my house for free. Customer service at the Omaha Dick's was much better than my old home town of Nashville where teenagers were too busy texting on their cell phones and flirting with each other to offer any help to the customers.

For everyone's sake, just get rid of mono!
Phoronix: Ubuntu Developers Discuss Using Mono AOT
Ubuntu developers are currently exploring the possibility of using Mono AOT to reduce start-up time, allow for better memory sharing, and for greater performance optimizations...
For everyone's sake, just get rid of mono!
obligatory because there are certain words that create a mess everytime someone mentions them. some are Mono, Pulseaudio, Systemd, Lennart Poettering, Microsoft, network transparency etc
They can do whatever they want to do with mono in repository, but get rid of it on default installation.
Mono is good. AFAIK its not lagging far behind Microsoft's .NET framework implementation.
Mono is full open source under MIT, LGPL, GPL.
C# is a Ecma standard, ECMA-334.
As I understand it, C# is faster than Java, Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP, etc.
C# is lot easier and friendlier to code in than C, C++, Objective-C.
Someone should port the Java Class Library to C#.
They could do it to Java too, if only gcj supported any of its GUIs
Sure it's faster than interpreted languages, but lost to Java last I checked.As I understand it, C# is faster than Java, Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP, etc.
Hell no. But opinion question anyway.C# is lot easier and friendlier to code in than C, C++, Objective-C.
Double ewww.Someone should port the Java Class Library to C#.
AFAIK Ximians project to port Android from Java to Mono shows the Mono port to be significiantly faster.
No more buffer overflows, memory pointers, etc.
For people who like C# but oppose .NET, this would be .NET-free C#.
Glad they're talking about faster startup times for Mono apps instead of faster startup times of Ubuntu Desktop by somehow using Mono.
I'm sorry, Mono will always lag behind .Net. There will always be bugs and unimplemented features unless you're compairing to older versions of .Net, and there's still the problem of the windows-only extensions (forms for example). Mono have to develop in the same direction as Microsoft .Net which probably means even more "easy-to-use" (for Windows programmers) Microsoft-only features. In the long term the core of Mono/.Net will only become as good as Microsoft allows it to be. I'm sure there's a neat programming language in there, but why go for a programming environment that is more or less controlled by Microsoft, which are 100% sure to use it to promote Windows?
In my experience with getting .Net apps running in Wine with the help of Mono I'd say that almost 100% of the .Net2.0 apps works, about 75% of the .Net3.0/.Net3.5 apps can be made to work and less then 50% of the .Net4.0 apps works. It's far easier to get easier to get some random C/C++ binary working in Wine then .Net4.0 apps. Java/Perl/Python apps are almost trivially easy to get in some working order since you'll have the source code available.
Last edited by a7v-user; 05-12-2012 at 11:03 AM.
You dont have the source for a java program any more then you do for a .net porgram.
Yes, it's faster than Dalvik. Dalvik != Java, Dalvik also != OpenJDK (hotspot).
Instead it has its own problems, like untraceable memory leaks, horrible, verbose syntax, being a bytecode language without any of the benefits (no way to addess objects by their name, ie a string. No the reflection/introspection/etc extensions don't work for this.), slow startup (same as Java), completely illogical parts like "using", no macro processor at all, etc etc etc.No more buffer overflows, memory pointers, etc.

Logona Kids Shampoo & Shower Gel cleans skin and hair with extra mild, botanical sudsing agents. Soothing organic calendula extract and organic almond oil nourish and moisturize the skin.
About Logona
Bodycare products manufactured and packaged from a broad ecological standpoint resonated with a growing number of consumers. The Logona product line has steadily expanded over the years to meet growing consumer interest. Today, over 200 natural personal care and cosmetic products carry the Logona label.
Strict ingredient quality standards have always been fundamentally important to Logona product formulation and manufacturing. Logona products utilize the highest quality, natural raw materials, such as premium vegetable oils and waxes, herbal extracts and essential oils derived from organic agriculture and wildcrafting.
Aside from rigorous ingredient standards, Logona products must also conform to industry leading ecological standards regarding minimal resource consumption during manufacturing, and minimal and recyclable packaging for the finished products.
Quality Creates Trust
Manufacturing personal care products without synthetic preservatives requires especially careful procedures to handle both raw materials and finished products. Only the slightest contamination can ruin an entire production run. Logona utilizes GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), the pharmaceutical production standard, to guide its manufacturing. In spring of 1999, Logona successfully completed an "Environmental Audit" of its entire operation, conducted under mandate of the German federal government.
Over 25 Years Expertise with Natural Personal Care
Despite its steady growth, Logona has remained true to its founding principles. Many personnel from those early days still work with the company today. The collectively organized Logona employs more than 150 full time employees, and places special emphasis on social responsibility and fairness towards employees and community.
Logona product quality standards have continually improved to correspond with advances in manufacturing know-how and more rigorous ingredient standards. For example, every Logona product complies with the stringent BDIH ingredient criteria as a certified natural product, and carries the BDIH Seal of Approval.
No advance in product quality, however, has come at the cost of the company's steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility. The goal to make quality personal care products with minimal impact on the planet and its resources remains foremost.
Logona opposes animal testing
Logona products contain trusted, traditional, plant-based ingredients recognized for generations as completely safe for the intended use by humans. Testing takes place exclusively on human volunteers. These tests accompany every Logona product, starting with self-testing by research and development staff members, continuing with similar staff testing during the microbiological stability trial period, and finally culminating with rigorous, scientific testing on paid volunteers under independent, dermatological supervision. Only after a product has successfully passed each of these phases can it be introduced to the marketplace.
Respect for people, animals, and environment is the basis of our ethical self-image. For this reason we are actively engaged in the movement to validate alternative test methods, which do not utilize animals. We strongly believe that animal testing belongs to the past.

A being of such immense evil that he cannot truly be defined. Contrary to popular belief, evil is much presentably an understatement of how dark this man's soul is. He is dragged into Hell while living and makes his way to Satan's throne (who he nicknames Dimples) and shows potential by killing the demon Ugfub in one decisive movement. Eventually escapes Hell via the loophole that he never technically died. Wanders the planet as an entity of fear dubbed 'Demonic'.

Tobin water system may have funding source
Joshua SeboldStaff Writer
Plumas County Community Development Commission Executive Director David Keller recently told his board of commissioners, mostly made up of county supervisors, that Plumas County could be eligible for disaster recovery funds because of the local impacts of the 2008 fire season.
Keller reported at a Tuesday, March 16, meeting that the community of Tobin, located about 10 miles northeast of the tunnels in the Feather River Canyon, could get money for several projects, as it was directly affected by the fire.
The director said there were about 11 counties eligible for the funds authorized by the U.S. Congress specifically to aid counties that received federally declared disaster designations during that dramatic fire season.
He predicted the Tobin water project, which would replace an antiquated system destroyed in the fire, could be one of the eligible projects.
Keller said 75 percent of the project was already funded by the state, but the CDC could apply for the final 25 percent to be backfilled by the new federal source.
The director was also hopeful that cleanup work and repairs for a pipe, which provides non-potable water for firefighting but wasn't actually broken in the fires, would be eligible for the new funds.
He even suggested emergency planning efforts the county anticipates undertaking in the near future, like a safety element in the General Plan revision project, might qualify for funding.
CDC commissioner and county supervisor Robert Meacher asked Keller if the funding had to go to efforts related only to the fire, hinting the county emergency services communication system could use some work.
The director responded he thought the funds would be limited to fire-related issues but couldn't be sure because the feds were still deciding what the rules for the funding would be.
Keller said there was $39 million available in California and "a majority of the problems were in Southern California in terms of the mudslides and those kinds of things."
On the flip side, he indicated the process for getting the money wasn't competitive, meaning an agency had an equal chance of getting some if it turned in its application early.
He added the CDC was working with the county and Plumas Corporation on an application that would be turned in June 6, the opening day for the forms to begin being received.

PTO head Kappos stepping down
Tuesday - 11/27/2012, 10:53am EST
David Kappos, director of the Patent and Trademark Office, is stepping down early next year.
A PTO spokesman said Kappos will stay with the agency through January 2013. Kappos announced his resignation Monday in an email to PTO employees.
"I believe we have made great progress in reducing the patent backlog, increasing operational efficiency, and exerting leadership in [intellectual property] policy domestically and internationally," Kappos said in a statement.
Kappos has led the agency since August 2009.
During his time at PTO, Congress passed a major overhaul of patent legislation, aimed at streamlining the patent process.
The Wall Street Journal reports Deputy Director Teresa Stanek Rea will take over for Kappos after he steps down.
Acting Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank said Kappos had done a "terrific job" in pushing the administration's innovation agenda.
"His 3-1/2 year tenure is marked by many notable accomplishments which have helped improve the IP system both here and abroad," Blank said in a statement.
'Give it a rest,' USPTO chief tells patent critics
