Plate, Eva
Today when we think of where inventive contemporary design is manufactured, we often think of Italy. This, however, was not always the case. Wide acceptance of modern design came somewhat later in Italy than elsewhere, perhaps because of the ever-present conservative influence of the palpable Roman classical past and the slow development of the Italian economy in the twentieth century. To be sure, before World War II there were important modern designers in Italy, foremost Gio Ponti, an architect from Milan whose influence spread beyond his native country through two architecture and design magazines he founded, Domus and Stile. And the Fascist regime of Mussolini in the pre-World War II period did embrace modern architecture, unlike the Nazi regime in Germany, which consciously rejected modernism as a source of foreign, moral corruption. It was not, however, until the post-World War II era, when the Italian economy expanded rapidly, that Italian modern design achieved international recognition.
One pivotal event made consumers in the United States aware of the diversity and accomplishments of modern Italian design—the exhibition Italy at Work, which travelled to twelve venues between 1950 and 1954. The exhibition was initiated by the Art Institute of Chicago in partnership with two organizations devoted to the promulgation of Italian design, Handicraft Development Incorporated in the United States and its corresponding institution in Italy, CADMA. Italy at Work included hundreds of objects by more than 150 artisans and manufacturers and featured furniture, ceramics, glass, textiles, metalwork, jewelry, shoes, knit clothing, and industrial design. The exhibition opened at the Brooklyn Museum, and at its conclusion, when the objects were dispersed among the host institutions, the lion's share, more than two hundred items, came to the Museum.
In the second half of the twentieth century, Italy became a center for modern design. Many foreigners went there to study and work at small, adventurous firms that produced high-quality objects.

Very often, [in near-death experiences] the person encounters a divine or angelic being. This may be described as Christ, an angel, even God. Typically [they] don't report these beings as having the wings we see in the paintings, but rather as luminescent beings that seem to emanate love and saintliness.

THIS is shocking:On Sunday evening, nineteen firefighters were killed when they were fighting a wildfire southwest of Prescott, AZ after winds shifted direction. This is the single deadliest incident for U.S. firefighters since the attacks of September 11th, 2001.
The 19 firefighters were part of the elite Granite Mountain Hotshots, a highly-trained, specialist crew founded in 2002 that had fought wildfires across Arizona and New Mexico in recent months. There were 20 members of the team, which is based in Prescott, AZ. Nineteen fire shelters � essentially tin-foil tents � were found deployed in the area where the firefighters ...

The Keith and Donna Band was apparently a somewhat ragged group at the beginning, but I did see them at the end of their tenure, and they were pretty good. Not earthshaking, but way better than the average bar band. At the time, there was both an understandable if unfair comparison to the Garcia/Saunders group and Kingfish, and also some unreasonable hostility towards Keith and Donna. It seemed to be a fate of Dead keyboard players to be unpopular with many folks until after they had departed, so Keith's performances were complained about endlessly, and I felt irrationally, while he was in the band. Once Brent Mydland joined the band, Keith was revered, a process that seemed to repeat itself with Vince Welnick. As for Donna, she had monitor problems with the Dead that caused her to be offkey at times, but criticism of her often seemed more like the usual grumbling when women appear in all-male enclaves. As a result, although the Keith and Donna band were not the best Dead spinoff, they have never gotten any kind of consideration from obsessive Dead historians, so I will attempt to rectify that now with a brief concert history.
This concert history comes from various sources that are available, including East Bay newspapers in 1975 that have yielded up numerous obscure club dates. However, Bay Area nightclubs only publicized their shows intermittently in the papers, so there are probably many more dates to be found, particularly in Marin County. My information about the Northeast tour is also limited, and I'm sure there are more dates to be found there. However, with no other lists accessible, I thought I would present my information as it currently stands (note: shows added to the original post are shown as added).
Donna Godchaux-vocals
Keith Godchuax-Yamaha electric grand piano, Fender Rhodes electric piano, vocals
Ray Scott-guitar
Stephen Schuster-tenor sax, flute, congas
Michael Larscheid-bass
Bill Kreutzmann-drums
Both times I saw Keith and Donna, Keith was playing the Yamaha Electric Grand as well as the Fender Rhodes. Up until 1974, he had played a full size Yamaha Grand. As a practical matter, a nightclub band had a hard time with a Grand Piano, so the Electric Grand (a sort of hybrid electro-acoustic piano) made more sense. Keith continued playing the Electric Grand throughout his tenure with the Dead.
Stephen Schuster had been the equipment manager for Quicksilver Messenger Service, played a little bit on their first album, and jammed onstage with them many times. He is still a working musician in the Bay Area.
Mike Larscheid had come from Green Bay, Wisconsin, and he played with many Wisconsin musicians in the Bay Area, including Jim Krueger and Dennis Geyer.
Ray Scott's career is otherwise unknown to me, but he was an active guitarist well into the 1990s, with Martin Fierro and others in Marin County.
Tour History
April 17, 1975 Lion's Share, San Anselmo Keith and Donna
Update: It turns out that the taper did erase one of the Master Reels, but not before it was copied, so the whole tape has survived and has recently been re-circulated. Besides the regular band members, there was also a trumpeter. The most likely suspect would seem to be Hadi Al-Saadoon, but I don't have a way of confirming that yet. The taper reported that the show was ragged, but not as messy as he remembered. Listening to the tape today bears out his recollection.
May 11, 1975, Kresge Town Hall, UCSC, Keith and Donna and Friends |
Keith and Donna played two shows on the UCSC campus. The town hall had a capacity of 616. The poster lists Tom Donlinger as the drummer, rather than Kreutzmann. I have to assume that Donlinger played a number of May gigs as well, though I don't know for sure. Perhaps Kreutzmann didn't join until June. I have speculated about this show at some length elsewhere.
May 12, 1975 Yellow Brick Road, San Francisco Keith and Donna
The Yellow Brick Road, at 2215 Powell Street, was more oriented towards soul and jazz music. A Monday night gig was probably a chance for the group to get their feet wet (added).
May 15, 1975 The Longbranch, Berkeley Keith and Donna
The Longbranch, at 2504 San Pablo, was a small club for bands on the way up. Presumably the band wanted to try themselves out in a low-pressure scenario, and in any case with Garcia and Bob Weir playing the clubs regularly, Keith and Donna were not an inherent attraction. The listing above is from the Hayward Daily Review of May 9, 1975.
May 23-24, 1975 Great American Music Hall, San Francisco New Riders of The Purple Sage/Keith and Donna
I wonder if Keith or Donna sat in with the Riders? They certainly had done so before.
June 6, 1975 River City, Fairfax Keith and Donna
June 7, 1975 The Longbranch, Berkeley Keith and Donna
June 12, 1975 The Bodega, Campell Keith and Donna
The Bodega, at 30 South Central Avenue in Campbell (just West of San Jose), was a South Bay saloon that mostly featured local bands.
June 13-14, 1975 Keystone Berkeley Keith and Donna/Heroes (13)/Osiris (14)
The Keystone Berkeley, at 2119 University Avenue (at Shattuck), was one of the Bay Area's premier rock clubs. Jerry Garcia played there regularly from 1971 to 1985. These two shows were Friday and Saturday nights, so these were sort of a coming out party for Keith and Donna.
Heroes (opening on Friday June 13) featured guitarist/vocalist Bill Cutler, along with Scott Quik (Horses, Sammy Hagar), Austin DeLone (too numerous to mention), Pat Campbell (Good Old Boys) and drummer Carl Tassi.
Osiris (opening Saturday June 14) was a Palo Alto band that featured lead singer Kevin McKernan, Pigpen's younger brother, who looked very much like him.
June 17, 1975 Winterland Jerry Garcia and Friends/Kingfish/Keith and Donna/Mirrors
This was the famous Bob Fried Memorial Boogie, where The Grateful Dead played their new Blues For Allah material. I believe Mickey Hart sat in with Keith and Donna as percussionist, and Kingfish played two full sets prior to the Dead. The Mirrors were a local group featuring singers Trish Robbins and Jill Bergman.
June 20-21, Margarita's, Santa Cruz Keith and Donna
Margarita's was a new rock club in Santa Cruz, at 1685 Commercial Way. They had a very exciting booking policy for their first year, but the area wasn't really big enough to sustain the club. (added).
June 27-28, 1975 Lions Share, San Anselmo Keith and Donna
The Lions Share at 60 Redhill Avenue was a well-known Marin musicians hangout.
July 4, 1975, Toulomne County Fairgrounds, Sonora, CA: Kingfish/Commander Cody and The Lost Planet Airmen/Stoneground/Keith And Donna
An eyewitness reported seeing this show. Sounded like a good time.
July 11-12, 1975 Inn Of The Beginning, Cotati, CA Keith and Donna/Maltese Turkey
The Inn Of The Beginning, at 8201 Old Redwood Road in Cotati, was a tiny musicians hangout near Sonoma State College. Maltese Turkey featured James Ackroyd, an old pal who had been in the group James and The Good Brothers. Research has revealed that the Keith and Donna band's agreement was for 70% of the door plus five pitchers of beer.
Trumpeter Hadi Al-Sadoon was listed as a member of the band.
August 4, 1975 Odyssey Room, Sunnyvale Keith and Donna
The Odyssey Room, at 799 El Camino Real in Sunnyvale, was another South Bay saloon, a jumping place that featured local bands and probably sold a lot of drinks. I wonder if Garcia played with them (see notes below)?
August 5, 1975 Keystone Berkeley Jerry Garcia Band
This listing for The Jerry Garcia Band comes from Deadbase, without attribution. Deadbase's source was me. Based on my long ago notes, it appears that this date was from a list compiled by Dennis McNally. For the reasons described below (see August 20-21), I think this was a Keith and Donna show with Jerry Garcia playing lead guitar and singing a few songs.
August 18, 1975 Keystone Berkeley Keith and Donna
This show was listed in the Hayward Daily Review as a Keith and Donna show. Since it was a Monday night, I don't think that it was a Garcia show, or else they would have listed it as such in order to sell out a Monday. This wouldn't have' precluded Jerry from just showing up anyway, however.
August 20-21, 1975 Great American Music Hall, San Francisco Jerry Garcia Band
The Hayward Daily Review lists these Wednesday and Thursday shows at the Great American Music Hall (859 O'Farrell, and still going strong) as The Jerry Garcia Band. In fact, we have a lovely tape of August 20 (I think it is a Betty Board), and Jerry Garcia joins Keith and Donna. He plays lead guitar on all their songs, as well as singing 'Tough Mama" and "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You." I have to assume the next night was the same configuration. Although the tape is incomplete, the entire group sounds great, and Jerry of course puts it over the top.
The last performance of Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders was July 6 at Keystone Berkeley. Why Garcia stopped playing with Merl has never adequately been explained, although presumably Jerry just wanted a change. The Jerry Garcia Band with Nicky Hopkins does not start playing until September 18. My own theory is that John Kahn was simply busy, and Jerry just wanted to play, so he sat in with Keith and Donna for August. That is why I think the August 5 show was Jerry with Keith and Donna, and the August 18 show may have been as well.
Both the August 20 and August 30 show (below) feature an unnamed trumpeter. Numerous Garcia tapes in the 1970s feature trumpet players, all unnamed--I wonder if they were the same one? One could postulate the usual Marin suspects--Luis Gasca, Bill Atwood, and so on, but I really don't know. Many of Garcia's band mates are no longer with us, either, so its hard to think who we could ask about that.
August 29-30, 1975 The Orphanage, San Francisco Keith and Donna with Jerry Garcia
The Orphanage, at 807 Montgomery, had been a happening North Beach club about 1973, and was now less so. Still, this was a comparatively high profile gig, compared to The Odyssey Room. Fortunately, a tremendous tape survives. Jerry sings some Dylan songs, and may have been trying out his Travis Bean guitar as well.
Update: A commenter has discovered a listing for two shows at The Orphanage, for August 29 and 30, so it appears that Garcia played two shows with Keith and Donna (on Friday and Saturday).
September 12, 1975 Inn Of The Beginning, Cotati, CA Keith and Donna/J.C. Burriss
September 29, 1975 Keystone Berkeley Keith and Donna
This Monday night gig at the Keystone seems like a warm up gig for the more high profile gigs that would follow.
October 4, 1975 Winterland Kingfish/Sons of Champlin/Keith and Donna
A friend attended this show (hi Mitch) and said that Keith and Donna played great.
October 12, 1975 "Oktoberfest" Hidden Valley Park, Hayward Keith and Donna/David LaFlamme/Collected Works/Ron Thompson/Scott Hall
This was a two-day outdoor weekend event (The Sons headlined the day before). I can't identify the exact location, but the listing says "off Mission Blvd, behind Weibel Winery."
October 17, 1975 Concord Pavilion Jerry Garcia Band/Kingfish/Keith and Donna
I attended this show, and I can attest to the fact that Keith and Donna played great. Bill Kreutzmann is a tremendous drummer, and the straight ahead style of the Keith and Donna Band really showed how powerful a drummer he can be in a conventional rock context. Stephen Schuster played lively solos on tenor sax and flute, and he wasn't a joke on congas, either. Donna's voice sounded great. Keith's singing was a bit weak, probably the weakest link in the band.
November 6, 1975 Elting Gym, SUNY, New Paltz, NY Kingfish/Keith and Donna
Kingfish and Keith and Donna toured the East Coast in November. In the Bay Area, with Jerry Garcia a regular in nightclubs since 1970, Deadheads were very casual about the opportunity to see Grateful Dead spinoffs. In the East, however, the chance to see 4 members of The Dead (Weir, Kreutzmann, Keith and Donna) plus an ex-New Rider (Dave Torbert) in the same night was somewhat of a big deal. The Kingfish/Keith and Donna bill played medium sized theaters that neither band could have played at home. I have to presume that the bands also only used one crew and one sound system, another efficiency.
November 7, 1975 Beacon Theater, New York, NY Kingfish/Keith and Donna (early and late)
November 9, 1975 Pritchard Gym, SUNY, Stony Brook, NY Kingfish/Keith and Donna
We only have scattered dates from the East Coast tour, mostly based on what tapes have survived. The Beacon show was on a Friday, and the Stony Brook show was on a Sunday. I have to believe the bill played somewhere in the Tri-State Areaon Saturday night. I don't think the tour played every night, but most tours make sure they fill in their weekends.
November 10, 1975 War Memorial Auditorium, Trenton, NJ Kingfish/Keith and Donna
The small auditorium was about 2/3 full, not bad for a Monday night in New Jersey in November. [added]
November 14, 1975 Brooklyn College, New York, NY Kingfish/Keith and Donna
Again, this show was a Friday night, and I'm sure the bands played somewhere Saturday night. Kingfish played My Father's Place in Long Island on Tuesday, November 18 (a tape survives of both shows) but I don't know if Keith and Donna would have played with them in a club.
November 21, 1975 Loews Theatre, Syracuse, NY Kingfish/Keith and Donna
November 22, 1975 Masonic Temple, Scranton, PA Kingfish/Keith and Donna
I do know a Scranton native who attended this show, and it was a very big deal for any Grateful Dead related bands to play in Scranton. He had nothing much to compare it to, but he thought it was a terrific show (and he went to Harvard).
November 23, 1975 Orpheum Theatre, Boston, MA Kingfish/Keith and Donna
November 24, 1975 Palace Theater, Albany, NY Kingfish/Keith and Donna
This was a Monday night show, which suggests that the tour played a lot more than just weekends.
November 28?, 1975 Thiel College, Greenville, PA Kingfish/Keith and Donna
A commenter writes
Somewhere between Nov 22-29, 1975, Kingfish & Keith & Donna played a small college (Thiel Coll) in rural western PA. And for our little coterie of Deadheads adrift in northeast Ohio at the time, it WAS A BIG DEAL! We showed up expecting a Dead show type crowd experience but instead were greeted by a practically deserted sleepy college town and equally sparsely populated theatre! We have an amazing story surrounding this adventure, perhaps for another time...It DOES get strangerI have assumed that the date was Friday, November 28, although I don't know that for certain [update: I now believe the date was Tuesday, November 25] A correspondent adds
The show was in a (small) theater, probably in the student center (it definitely was not in a gym). I'm not sure if the Passavant Center on campus was there in 1975 (2,000 seat) but if it was the venue, it would have been (way) less than 1/4 filled for that show.This hitherto forgotten event serves as a nice reminder that when a band featuring a member of the Grateful Dead came to a smaller city or a more out of the way place, it was still a memorable event for those in attendance. Deadheads lucky enough to live in the Bay Area or New York City could be casual about regular Deadheads and accessible Garcia appearances, but part of the Dead's magic was their relentless journeying to unconquered territory (added).
November 29, 1975 Tower Theater, Upper Darby, PA Kingfish/Keith and Donna
This was the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Once again, a Friday show somewhere seems likely, so I have assumed it was at Thiel College.
December 2, 1975 Lisner Auditorium, GWU, Washington, DC Kingfish/Keith and Donna
December 5, 1975 Capitol Theater, Passaic, NJ Kingfish/Keith and Donna
The tour appears to end on a Friday night at John Scher's Capitol Theater in Passaic, New Jersey. Bob Weir and Kingfish played Saturday night at My Father's Place in Long Island (December 6), but once again I am not certain that Keith and Donna played with them.
The Northeastern tour is the biggest gap in the Keith and Donna concert history. We must be missing numerous dates.
December 19-20, 1975 Winterland Jerry Garcia Band/Kingfish/Keith and Donna/Clover
A Poco/Kingfish/Keith and Donna bill scheduled for Winterland on December 18 was converted to a Garcia Band/Kingfish/Keith and Donna bill for two nights. I attended the first night. Marin stalwarts Clover opened the show (Clover guitarist John McFee had played pedal steel on "Pride Of Cucamonga"). Ray Scott was not a member of the Keith and Donna band, and the group played without a guitarist. The band played a brief but excellent set, joined by Matt Kelly of Kingfish on harmonica for the set closing "Scarlet Begonias."
On the second night, for the last performance of the Keith and Donna band, Jerry Garcia joined them for their set. For the very last song, Garcia sang "Scarlet Begonias' to a rapturous reception from the crowd. The Keith and Donna band showed their chops by cruising along nicely with Garcia on an extremely difficult song, showing how musical they really were.
At the end of January of 1976, Keith and Donna joined the Jerry Garcia Band, replacing the departed Nicky Hopkins. If there were any plans to reactivate the Keith and Donna band, they were put aside with both the Garcia Band and the return to performance of the Grateful Dead.
Anyone with additional information about missing or inaccurate tour dates is actively encouraged to list them in the comments or contact me.

The issue is not a lack of US influence in Egypt, but that such influence has not been used properly, whether with respect to Mubarak, Morsi or the new "civilian" government (aka the military). Instead of viewing Egypt through the vague prism of grandiose geopolitics, the United States should be treating Egypt for what it is -- a developing country with 85 million individuals situated on the shores of the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Egypt is not an army, not a religion and not a transient ideology. Use US leverage to open Egypt up to its potential - back the IMF loan, forge a free trade agreement and encourage more non-political exchanges. The rest will take care of itself. http://balasticman.blogspot.it/2013/07/now-what-to-do-with-egypt.html

It's Game 2 of today's doubleheader at Nationals Park.
UPDATE AT 7 P.M. — The second game of the double header will not be played today. A team spokesman said the game will only be rescheduled if it has playoff implications and is necessary. The Dodgers at this point are nine games back in the National League West which means the game will likely be cancelled altogether. If the Dodgers do mount a comeback and the game needs to be played, it will likely take place at the end of the season.
So it's on to the nightcap of this traditional doubleheader between the Nationals and Dodgers. Have to imagine Los Angeles' players will want to get through this one quickly, because they've got to catch a flight to San Francisco so they can open a weekend series with the Giants tomorrow night.
Ross Detwiler gets the ball for the Nationals. The left-hander was roughed up by the Mets last time out to the tune of six runs in three innings, so he'll be hoping to get himself back on track.
As you know, I'm not at the ballpark today. Chase Hughes will once again have updates throughout, so please check back here for his thoughts…

Et tu Brute, (From Tuesday's game)Adam Kilgore – "Tie game. Doug Slaten started the mess. Davey let Brad Peacock, a prospect and starter, begin his career from the stretch against Matt Kemp."Ben Goessling – "A guy with 12 career relief appearances started his major league career from the stretch. That's a mess"Mark Zuckerman – "Davey said he wouldn't bring in Peacock in middle of inning. So naturally he brings him in to face Matt Kemp with 2 on and 1 out in 6th."- "This game is tied 3-3 and Strasburg can't get the win. Can't blame Peacock. He's a starter. Why was he making MLB debut in this spot?"

More from Cap Baseball on making decisions:(Tuesday's game).Bottom 9. Two outs. Bases Loaded. 7-3 Game. Your two best hitters have just struck out looking. Sounds like the perfect situation to put in a kid making his MLB-debut, right? Well, only if you are absolutely insane. Nope, that's exactly what Davey Johnson decided to do.

Out of courtesy to the Dodgers, they should probably call this one. Looks like there might be a hole in the rain, but then another wave.
- NatsLady - Sep 8, 2011 at 9:52 PM
jeffwx– with respect, if you look at previous posts, we hashed through the Peacock start quite a bit. OK, so maybe we didn't talk too much about the last hitter, but msybe he had family in attendance and wanted to go in. Didn't make much difference at that point.

Thanks NatsLady,I was suprised that the great baseball minds of DC (not just us) question Mr. DJ.However, I do not agree to put a rookie in such a high pressure situation esp. in his first at bat. Set up your new students for success…ease them into the MLB. Don't throw them to the lions too early. Anyway, I'm officially off the DJ bus…however, doesn't make a difference at this point either.And shouldn't you be working

I used to think Mr. DJ preferss to lose today to set up a win tomorrow. Now, I think he prefers to lose this year to set up the team for next year.And is there any interest from this community to having another outing to the Stadium or is it better to wait 'till next year ?

Anonymous, we can't crucify Dr. DJ, he has a Masters degree. ;)I'm going to crucify Mr. Rizzo right now. Keep Riggs to the end of the year. He was making 700k, stoop down and give him an extra 300k to quiet him for the rest of the season.Actually make a decision for the good of the fans, esp when the team was on one of the hottest streaks in the Nats short history.In any case, I think Rizzo's Risky decision was a bit too risky from a cost-benefit analysis.

Theoretical question after several days of watching pitchers throw in the rain: what's to keep them from using the moisture that's bound to be on the ball to throw a spitter — or spitter-like pitch? I'm not familiar enough with the mechanics of throwing one: maybe the balls would be TOO wet?

Scooter – not a problem – we left 310 after it started raining in about the 8th. Very disappointing loss – I am going to have to call my guy with the Nationals – funny how just two sections over can make a difference but I really liked 310 better then my 308 – I wonder if Morse had played the one ball hit right at him like a professional if it would have changed the tenor of the game. That was an easily catchable ball and after we come back to score 4 runs it would have been 4-2. Not sure things like that should even be discussed but we really did not play well today.Scooter I will be at the game on the 25th & once again in 310 row E with my son. Also have yesterdays rain out and tomorrow but the way this weather is, I don't know if I will be dried out by tomorrow. Best part of todays game was the pizza at Matchbox over on 8th street along with a nice Rogue Craft Beer.

Yes.You've already been mathematically eliminated from the division race and you're three games away from being eliminated from the wild card race.At this point, the only way this game gets made up is if the D-backs, the Giants, the Braves, and the Cardinals all completely collapse and, simultaneously, the Dodgers win just about every game they have left.Accept the fact that this is going to be a 161-game season and be happy you have one fewer game to lose.

Prefab in New Orleans
Will Crocker
Designed for the Barnes Family, who lost their first house in Katrina, Special No. 9 House holds a 2010 AIA/COTE Top Ten Green Project designation and LEED Platinum certification.
A south-facing trellis supports photovoltaic panels and extends up over the roof plane to shelter a deck.

Customization, like these decorative panels, can bolster sense of place and steer clients towards sustainable pre-fabrication.

A central hallway creates the home's dominant axis and the shotgun style living space favors sleeping quarters over common areas.
Kieran Timberlake
Hot air is drawn through the main living level and vented out while rainwater is collected on the roof and stored at ground level.
The house is anchored in clayish soil by 35-foot piers and sits at the center of a slightly trapezoidal lot.
There isn't a lot that Special No. 9 House doesn't represent in progressive residential architecture. Designed by Philadelphia-based firm KieranTimberlake for the Barnes family (who lost their home in Hurricane Katrina) and the Make It Right Foundation (founded in 2007 to prompt sustainable and rapid redevelopment in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward), the home takes every advantage of solar orientation, rainwater collection, and site exigencies to make the most of its 1,520 square feet, the average lot size of first-generation Make It Right homes. Exterior shading, optimized natural ventilation, integrated photovoltaics, non-solvent-based adhesives, and low- or no-VOC paints keep the subtropical house cool and self-sustaining. For all of these reasons, the house holds a 2010 AIA/COTE Top Ten Green Project designation and LEED Platinum certification. What also makes Special No. 9 House so, well, special is its potential for ecologically driven prefab housing that answers both the needs of the homeowner and the home's physical location.
Situated in the center of a slightly trapezoidal lot and anchored in the clay soil by 35-foot piers, Special No. 9 House hovers over a ground-level car park. The shotgun-style living space favors sleeping quarters over common areas, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms; a long central hallway creates the interior's dominant axis, but not at the expense of making the living and dining area feel like a stop along the steady march of rooms from front to back. Set off to the side, across from the kitchen, the living and dining areas open onto a raised front porch, creating a multipurpose space apart from the primary circulation areas of entry and hall.
The design solution was born out of the particular needs of homeowners Melba Leggett and Baxter Barnes. Melba, a school cafeteria worker, has a disabled brother who requires round-the-clock care. There's also her half-brother's mother, who needs an elevator. "We have 21 different designs for homes here, and each homeowner will tell you that theirs is the best," says Taylor Royle, communications director for Make It Right. "We experiment with different ways of building, from stick to modular to SIPs houses, but we always try to do whatever is the most sustainable and the most cost-effective," she adds.
Facing east to the street, the house appears as two proportional volumes enveloped by a south-side trellis that supports photovoltaic panels and shelters the roof deck, accessible from a rear porch. Running the length of the house, the roof deck quadruples the amount of common space.
Like all of the first-generation houses completed in 2008 for Make It Right, Special No. 9 House was stick-built expediently on site. The home's design went on to function as a KieranTimberlake prototype for a series of second-generation prefabricated homes, of which four have been built. Each of these second-generation homes was created with owner specifications in mind. As such, the homes attempt to improve on the tradition of prefabrication, which often favors design expediency and efficiency over placemaking and customization. By definition, prefabrication is a placeless practice. Largely designed and fabricated outside of the community where they ultimately reside, the homes can be disconnected from local labor and building economies.
KieranTimberlake took a different approach. The firm designed homes for New Orleanians with real climate and site conditions in mind. They also aimed to bolster the local economy, according to design partner James Timberlake, FAIA. He contends that building a scalable local industry around component manufacturing would provide much-needed jobs for the region.
Timberlake worries that the housing industry in general is missing an opportunity. "[They] are responding to choices surrounding appearance and lifestyle, not choices about lifecycle or operating costs for the homeowner," he says. "It flabbergasts me that the industry in this flat economy did not use this situation to morph to an off-site strategy. They're still relying on non-scalable building sets," he adds.
Make It Right stands foremost behind a distinct and targeted goal for the Ninth Ward's revitalization. Timberlake believes Make It Right also is providing the leverage to transform chatter about the benefits of prefabrication into an actionable model that honors placemaking. Working on a 25- or 30-year time frame, he hopes to help establish infill strategies for the Lower Ninth that take the long view about bolstering a sense of place in concordance with local memory and more holistic notions of sustainability.
Since 2008, all Make It Right homes have been built to LEED Platinum standards, and the organization expects that each of its additional 150 homes will follow suit. "Our whole goal is to build homes that are well-designed, sustainable, energy-efficient, and safe, at a price that a working family can afford," Royle says. "We want to help families here, but we also want to change the building industry."
Make It Right is optimistic that its homes can serve as models for other regions, distressed or not. Timberlake agrees. "We'll get to a point where we can take a Make It Right house and tune it to a very, very specific local environmental circumstance for southern Georgia or North Dakota," Timberlake says. "This is at our fingertips."

The April 15 meeting of the Sylvans Club will be a short business meeting. Pictures for the Tally will be taken immediately following the program which will be a speaker from a Houston Plywood Industry. Do not forget that the club pictures for the Annual will be taken at 7:30 in the Starling Ballroom. April 9. Plans for the Spring Banquet are not in high gear! The banquet will be held in the Starlight Ballroom of the College Center, Saturday April 19 at 7.30. We are having wrapped sirloin and it should be well worth the $2.50. The original cost was going to be $2.00 but the College Center has tacked on an extra 20 cents charge per plate and the price had to go up. Tickets will be on sale by April 8, and can be obtained by any club officer, Mr. Yee, or Terry Western. It is essential that the tickets be sold beforehand so we know how many plates to order. Deadline for payment will be Friday, April 18. Those going to Conclave should meet at the Forestry Lab, Thursday, April 10, at 7.30 and plan on leaving at 8.00. Please pack light and bring a bedroll. Good luck to our contestants! "Many of you may remember the article by Felix Revillo in the "Knothole" recently. He talked of the Health and Physical Education as being more interested in brawn than brains in creating a safety hazard near the forestry buildings. Felix mentioned the possibility of someone becoming a human pin-cushion. On March 21, it finally occurred.

New Understanding of an Old Symptom
Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome likely related to migraine
By Drew Kelts, MD
Previously known as abdominal epilepsy or abdominal migraine, Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent, severe, stereotypic episodes of nausea and vomiting lasting anywhere from hours to days. Between attacks, the child is asymptomatic and neurologically normal.
The average age at onset is 3 to 7 years, although it has been reported in children as young as 6 months. Originally described in Samuel Gee in 1882, CVS was thought to occur only in children, but now adult cases are being recognized. Incidence is about .04 percent in the population, with a male-to-female ratio of about 50/50 and a median onset age of about 4.8 years. CVS is likely a form of migraine, since it responds to similar management and is often associated with a family history of migraine.
Presentation and Etiology
Drew Kelts, MD
Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Association
Episodes can be mild to severe, with some children requiring hospitalization for re-hydration and pain control. Attacks, which tend to resemble previous episodes, are often diagnosed as recurrent bouts of "gastroenteritis." The delay in diagnosis is typically 2.7 years. During an attack, the child may be pale and anorectic and complain of abdominal pain and headache, making it hard to differentiate from other causes of abdominal pain. The key is the repetitive history, with periods of being completely asymptomatic in between. Attacks tend to come on suddenly, with little warning, often in the early hours of the morning, awakening the child. Children may also complain of dizziness, photophobia and diarrhea during an episode. The condition follows a four-part pattern: prodrome (often short), the actual episode, recovery, and a symptom-free interval. There can be numerous triggers including the child being over-tired, over-excited, sick, premenstrual or stressed the day before. Children tend to have their own unique triggering events.
The routine abdominal pain work-up is usually normal. Tests such as CBC, electrolytes, sedimentation rate and abdominal imaging typically are unremarkable. Occasionally, a KUB will reveal constipation and/or an ileus.
"Red Flags": When to Question Diagnosis
CVS has no definitive anatomic or laboratory diagnostic studies, aside from the history. A family history of migraine is present in 80 percent of affected children. About 27 percent of these children progress to have classic migraine symptoms as adolescents. The etiology is unknown but two DNA polymorphisms (16519T and 3010A) occur in high frequency in pediatric patients.
Approach to Diagnosis and Management
More than 90 percent of children who meet the following criteria will ultimately have a diagnosis of CVS:
CVS is likely a form of migraine, since it responds to similar management and is often associated with a family history of migraine.
Illustration by Joshua Emerson
If any of the "red flags" described below are present, the work-up should be expanded to include surgical and non-surgical causes of chronic severe abdominal pain, including volvulus, obstruction, adhesions, esophagitis or pancreatitis.
Episodes that result in acidosis or are triggered by fasting or high-protein intake should be evaluated for an inborn error of metabolism or possible mitochondrial disease. In these cases, determination of plasma amino and urine organic acids, lactate/pyruvate ratio, and anion gap are indicated. Any abnormal neurological finding would warrant work-up of CNS lesions or seizures, including imaging such as CT or MRI.
The approach is primarily supportive, but can be divided into prevention (avoiding triggers), prophylaxis (decreasing or preventing episodes), and aborting early attacks. Management of the acute episodes seeks to minimize duration, relieve symptoms and prevent hospitalization. Each child requires an individualized treatment plan that fits his or her symptoms and life style. If the attacks are rare, the focus will be on aborting or decreasing severity of the attacks. Frequent attacks (several per month) will require prophylaxis as well as a plan for managing the acute attacks.
As with migraine, prevention of CVS is based on avoiding the usual triggers. These include being over-tired, changes in altitude, long car trips, over-excitement or stress. Certain foods such as chocolate, cheese, artificially sweetened beverages and MSG, as well as caffeine withdrawal, can act as triggers. An elimination diet may help. Ensuring the child gets enough regular sleep and exercise are simple measures that can also be effective.
Primary medications commonly used for prevention are antihistamines and serotonin receptor antagonists such as hydroxyzine (Atarax, Vistaril) and cyproheptadine (Periactin). These are given at night to avoid daytime drowsiness and can be titrated up slowly. Second-line medications include beta blockers such as propranolol. Children over 5 years are candidates for tricylic antidepressants. Third-line drugs include topiramate (Topomax) and valproic acid (Depakote) and should be managed with the help of a pediatric neurologist. L-carnitine and co-enzyme Q have also been used as adjuncts.
Avoiding full-blown attacks or abbreviating episodes requires the early administration of such medications as sub-lingual ondansetron (Zofran) or triptans (Imitrex), although triptans is not recommended for younger children. If the child becomes dehydrated or the attack continues and/or escalates, emergency care is usually required. Parents need guidelines on when to stop home treatment and seek further help. Physicians should provide patients with a letter that they can show to emergency room doctors who may not be aware of the condition.
In the ER, the priority is to administer glucose containing IV fluids (D5½ normal saline at 1½ maintenance; consider normal saline 10-20 ml/kg bolus initially, depending on degree of dehydration) along with antiemetics (IV ondansetron 0.1 mg/kg up to 4 mg), sedatives (IV lorazepam 0.05 mg/kg), PPIs (esomeprazole IV 1 mg/kg) and appropriate analgesics (IV ketorolac 0.5 mg/kg up to 15 mg). Higher doses of these medications are considered for refractory cases. If the child can sleep, this may end the attack, and often is enough to be able to send the child home. Some attacks are so prolonged, they almost always require hospitalization. Again, the pattern of the individual child – for example, if he or she also suffers from asthma – will likely dictate the physician's approach. The key is administering fluids and medication quickly and placing the child in a quiet, dark room.
CVS is an idiopathic functional disorder of vomiting and nausea very likely related to migraine. It has been rarely associated with mitochondrial and neuroendocrine disorders in some children and may be associated with anxiety and panic disorders in adults. About one-third of children will progress to more typical migraine as adults, but most will outgrow it. It is important to remember this syndrome when confronted with a child experiencing repeated episodes of nausea and vomiting.

Comments On Dec 05, 2014:It's ok. I totally thought it was a POS at first as I had control issues shortly after installed, but soon to find I had steering bearing problems. First ride with new bearings and I like the tire now.

Comments On Oct 28, 2013:excellent rock and root tire ! tracks like it has nails sticking out of it. gives the steering a very light and quick feeling because of the tires tallness (smaller contact patch when upright) and long knobs. good in intermediate terrainn cause its a root killer. wears a LONG time. the tires tallness allows you to run a bit less air pressure too for better rock garden passes. only downside is the tire feels a bit skatey at shallow lean angles when it is brand new (I suspect from the very tall center knobs). within 15 miles it scrubs in and you have a wicked good rock and root tire. enjoy !

Comments On Dec 22, 2012:I ride BROWN MT NC witch has the most diverse terrain around for dirt bike. Mud, sand, loose rock, rock on rock, lots of roots, steep hills, any thing you want and more. This tire will do all that well. Not good on wet roots but not too bad it works so well at the rest I like it. Vary hard tire with big stiff knobs and side wall. I run 12 psi.

Comments On Jun 01, 2012:While the S12 I normally run might be a bit better for where I ride, this ED11 performed very well and lasted a lot longer. It's hard to tell differences for me between the top end tires so I end up shopping wear and price ... and this is a great value there.

Comments On May 06, 2012:I love this tire! Wear is excellent, and it sticks like glue! I have it on my WR250F hare-scramble bike and have ran it in rocks, ruts, roots, wet and dry red clay, and just plain old dirt! This is now the only front tire I'll buy.

World's first full HDR video system sees like the human eye
An example of Image-Based Lighting (Image: University of Warwick)
Article Summary
Anyone who regularly uses a video camera will know that the devices do not see the world the way we do. The human visual system can perceive a scene that contains both bright highlights and dark shadows, yet is able to process that information in such a way that it can simultaneously expose for both lighting extremes – up to a point, at least. Video cameras, however, have just one f-stop to work with at any one time, and so must make compromises. Now, however, researchers from the UK's University of Warwick claim to have the solution to such problems, in the form of the world's first full High Dynamic Range (HDR) video system.

They are at the center of a multimillion-dollar legal hurricane: twelve men and women who have been investigated, watched, manipulated, and harassed by high-priced lawyers and consultants who will stop at nothing to secure a verdict. Now the jury must make a decision in the most explosive civil trial of the century, a precedent-setting lawsuit against a giant tobacco company. But only a handful of people know the truth: that this jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to him.
He is known only as Juror #2. But he has a name, a past, and he has planned his every move with the help of a beautiful woman on the outside. Now, while a corporate empire hangs in the balance, while a grieving family waits, and while lawyers are plunged into a battle for their careers, the truth about Juror #2 is about to explode in a cross fire of greed and corruption—and with justice fighting for its life.

in my knowledge the hd6970 series do have the best open-source performance from the AMD side right now.
its because of the shader compiler and the hd6970 do have the most advanced and most "easy" to program VLIW shader core.
Its still a full joke to the hd7000 series technically but the hd7000 series is not ready to use right now.
In my benchmark research the hd4000 series is one of the worst performers and the hd6970 is the best right now.
people with much lower hardware than your old hd4770 with the 6000series get much better benchmark results. Its just 3-4 times faster on similar hardware specifications. the performance difference is "criminal" they just betrayed there hd4000 customers.
I personally would not waste my money on a death horse like VLIW ... you'll regret it because amd will make sure you'll regret it.

Q: How do you tactfully answer the questions if you were fired/let go from a job?
You'll want to put some good thought into this ahead of time. Every situation is different, but you don't want to disparage a former employer regardless of how you may feel about the situation. Try to differentiate between how the job that wasn't a good fit was different from the job you are currently seeking. Mark it as a learning experience, but be sure do point out how the current situation is different.
Q: What are some web sites where I can research companies?
Company web sites are usually the best place – be sure to check out their careers section, but also browse around for articles and other information. I use Linkedin.com to look up individuals that I may be interviewing with or meet. Also zoominfo.com or jigsaw.com can help get information about the company. Companies also have profile pages on our sites if you find the job on a Local JobNetwork site. [Read More...]

Don't be alarmed or make any sudden moves. Just read this review calmly … quietly … and then once you're done (not before), close your browser and edge carefully away from the computer. Don't scream. Don't squeal. Don't chuckle. Because if you do, she might hear you.Who? Miley Cyrus, of course. She's everywhere, didn't you know? And she's taking over the world. Don't believe me? Just look around. Here she's at the Oscars, chatting on the red carpet. There she's on a magazine cover at the supermarket. That's her in a new movie. She's gracing the side of your daughter's lunchbox. And your other daughter's backpack. And your daughter's friend's toothbrush. It'll only be a matter of time before she slaps her beaming smile on this review. Oh, wait, never mind. She's up there already.When Julius Caesar ruled the known world, the only things that bore images of his face were a few chunks of marble and some metal currency. And he had to conquer Gaul to earn the kind of coin Cyrus pockets for shooting a single sitcom episode.She wasn't always queen, of course. We at Plugged In have followed Cyrus' career from its infancy—a career that began with this very show, Hannah Montana. Back then, there was no industry of Cyrus—just a charismatic teen fronting a goofy, almost-always-innocent Disney sitcom. We wrote, "In the midst of groan-inducing jokes, campy slapstick comedy and laughable overacting (all of which have become Disney-show staples and work wonderfully at the fourth-grade level), Hannah Montana offers token yet positive life lessons." That was back before Cyrus got tattoos, smoked salvia, bared her back for Vanity Fair, teased the world with a "poll dance" at the Teen Choice Awards and showed the Queen of England her cleavage.So now when you turn on Hannah Montana, you see … a charismatic teen fronting a goofy, almost-always-innocent Disney sitcom.Say what you want about the evolution of Miley Cyrus, her flagship program is still mostly on the up-and-up. Cyrus, as Miley Stewart, still sings to full houses as alter ego Hannah Montana. She still lives with her father (real-life pops Billy Ray Cyrus) and hangs out with brother Jackson and friends Lilly and (when he's around) Oliver. She still lives in Malibu, Calif., but (on the show, at least) holds true to her small-town Tennessee values.She loves and honors her father, cares for her friends and almost always learns a thing or two when the week's 30-minute crisis has run its course. So enjoy it while you can. Because once Hannah's gone, Miss Cyrus may drop the facade and make her world domination official—and we'll all be buying our Cyrus-branded cappuccinos with Mileybucks.
"Kiss It All Goodbye" Miley Stewart's secret is out, and with that comes the pressures of fame. Paparazzi publish embarrassing photos of her until she serves them lemonade. Her fan base is a harder sell, though. "How is my kid supposed to be honest when her hero is nothing but a liar?" one angry parent asks her. Miley retreats to her bedroom until Daddy and Dolly Parton coax her out to perform again, and she discovers that her "real" fans—the little girls in the audience—still love her.If Hannah Montana was a normal Disney show and Miley Cyrus was baggage free, most of this would seem at least semisweet: The episode exhorts viewers to not let fear of rejection get the better of them, and its language never gets worse than "butt," "heck," "snotwagon" and "oh my lord." (We also see some flirtatious behavior and hear slightly crude jokes, along with a reference to panty lines.)But Miley's real-life antics, unlike her fictional protagonist's, aren't so easy to excuse. It'd be easy to assume that she's sending a message to her fans: I care about you—but not so much for your parents (referred to as "stopped up adults who don't have enough fiber in their diets").
"Can You See the Real Me?" Now that Hannah has reached her fourth and final season, her sitcom has donned the subtitle Forever and big changes are afoot. This year's episodes have focused on Miley's changing teen life, boyfriend problems and college plans—issues that finally forced the average girl next door to reveal her superstar secret on national TV. And since the totally shocked world wants to know all the details, Miley sets up an interview with newscaster Robin Roberts.The resulting chat opens the door for an obligatory flashback show that revisits the pratfalls and goofiness of Hannah's past seasons. Along the way, Miley recounts old chuckle-worthy problems such as the struggle of having a "snotwagon" for a kid brother, being plagued with hick relatives and being mobbed as a star while ignored as a real girl. But in the end, Miley points to the joy of good friends, the positives of normal life and the benefits of an "amazing" dad. The interjection "dang" and the putdown "snotwagon," along with a subtle reference to Dolly Parton's bustline are the only things that come close to earning a frown.
"Miley Says Goodbye? Part Two" Miley says she wants to move back to Tennessee. But just as her father starts to embrace the idea, she begins worrying about leaving Lilly behind. Jackson, meanwhile, tries to adjust to living by himself in an apartment and discovers the place is, well, broken. The doors fall down, the cabinets fall off, the couches collapse, and even though Jackson hates living there, he can't bear to admit the move was a mistake. Content issues are minimal. When Jackson's dinner table breaks apart, he turns his eyes to the heavens and hollers, "Stop mocking me!" When Miley thanks Jackson for a piece of good advice, she says that the acknowledgement "taste[s] like vomit." Miley sometimes treats her father a tad disrespectfully, telling him at one juncture to "think a little!" but it's done without rancor, and it doesn't seem to undercut Robbie's parental authority. Lilly references her "overactive sweat glands." Miley wears a tank top. And if that's the worst I can say, I think I'll shut up.

Hi all !
My laptop is dead and I will have to buy a new one. But almost all laptops are using ati graphics. I have been using nvidia drivers for a long now and was really happy with what had been done with vdpau and ease of installation. So Ihave a few questions to determine if I can switch on ATI.
- I have read that XvBA what finally doing something. But is it already as efficient and easy to use as vdpau? Ismplayer supported. I mostly watch x264 1080p. Is this codec supported ?
- What about video sync and tearing. I had a desktop with ati and experienced a lot of problems of that kind. Is it fixed ?
- I am planning to keep my kubuntu with KDE4. Are 3Deffects well supported by the driver ? I remember the time where these effects where hard to get working with the ATI driver.
- And last question : what about the open-source driver ? Where is the developpement heading to and what can be achieved as of now with this driver ?
Thanks a lot for all your answers, I am anxious at the idea of leaving nvidia.
As far as end users are concerned, the open source drivers provide 2D/3D acceleretion for everything up to r500. Latter chips have working 2D and you will have to build things on your own to get 3D (and it's not really "stable" either).
As far as fglrx:
- XvBA "works" but it's still having problems. I expect them to be fixed eventually. It works on mplayer but you will have to compile a vaapi enabled mplayer first.
- There is still tearing with Xv/OpenGL playback as far as I can tell. Composition running or no, I can still notice videos tearing every now and then. It has gotten better recently though.
- I'm on Kubuntu Karmic at the moment and the effects work. Sometimes it crashes (usually when login into a session), but I can always enable them again. Window transformation (resizing, maximizing, etc.) is painfully slow; you can apply some fixes like using a patched xserver or changing some window specific KDE options, but it's far from ideal. Also, while the effects are on my card runs in 3D mode; while this is not a big problem for me, I would imagine that on a laptop it would be a concern (additional heat, lower battery life). Have not gotten an answer on this last issue yet from either the AMD guys or the KDE folks, so it might just be something odd with my particular setup .
you sould buy a amd card!
but only for the opensource driver !
the catalyst 9.11 is totaly broken in my system 4670 and kubuntu9.10
the opensource driver is very easy to install.
just Upgrade to 2.6.32 rc kernel and add ppa://xorg-edgers/ to your Ubuntu 9.10 source List.
and make a dist-upgrade
don't buy a notebook with dual grafik and no igp+realone grafic cart
Buy a single one Real Grafic cart bases notebook.
vor exampel:
Athlon II M300 2x 2.00GHz 4096MB (2x 2048MB)
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 1024MB
or cheaper: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 512MB
overall.. don't buy intel cpu based notebooks and don't buy IGP
I guess experiences vary. I haven't had a 3D-related crash on HD 4550 in over a month.Latter chips have working 2D and you will have to build things on your own to get 3D (and it's not really "stable" either).
The open drivers do require a recent kernel and the mesa stack built from source (I believe there are packages for Ubuntu). They provide good OpenGL 1.5 acceleration, and GLSL is coming soon. Not as fast as fglrx yet. Tear-free XVideo. KDE4 effects work great.
There is only very basic powersaving now (and none if you use KMS). There is no decode acceleration, and likely won't be any for at least half a year, as it will be built on top of the Gallium driver, which is nowhere near ready yet.
This is the state of the open-source stack. I've never used fglrx, so I'll let other people answer that.
VERY bad idea to buy AMD based systems with ATI card, those use to have got onboard + dedicated GPU with the result that no card works with fglrx. Not with every system, but with many...
HD 4550 with DVI connector does NOT work with radeon(hd) currently, a stupid hack is to execute
avivotool regset 0x7ec4 0x00824002
on X startup as root. I really hate this...
Last edited by Kano; 11-21-2009 at 03:19 PM.
Not with AMD CPU, the chipset is usually always with IGP. And mobile systems use hybrid power technology - fglrx does not like that.
Sure, but it is used.

Mahaleo Ruby(R) Average 1.65ct 8x6mm Oval. Gemstone Mined In Africa And Cut In Thailand.
Mahaleo Ruby(R)
A special offering to you from Jewelry Television, Mahaleo stones are rich, vibrant and most affordable. Mahaleo stones hail from the exotic continent of Africa, including the island nation of Madagascar. Madagascar, long recognized as one of the most biologically diverse areas on the planet, is one of the primary sources for our Mahaleo offerings. The Madagascar stones are large in size, but often contain numerous inclusions and fissures, so a method to enhance their beauty was developed and perfected. The ingenious process involves filling the natural inclusions with molten lead glass. As the glass replaces air within the gems, the inclusions become less visible and their clarity is dramatically improved. Because their allure and essence match that of premier colors from other locales, they are aptly named Mahaleo, meaning "to equal, to match, to parallel" in Malagasy, one of Madagascar's official languages.

Ilene F.HairLight BrownDry HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairBest Straightener EverI tried about 6 different straighteners before I purchased this one. All the others were too heavy and only made my ends frizzy. I have course, thick shoulder length hair and the salon foils my hair. This straightener is not only light and easy to use, but made my hair look fantastic! I got so many compliments once I started using it. Not only did it de-frizz my hair, it's light weight allowed me to style the way I wanted to...the heavier, wider straighteners did not let me curl and flip to my liking. The oil infusion kept my hair looking shiny and healthy.
I will NEVVVERRR buy another straightener!!!!!!posted Oct 25, 2013Link to this post -
NathanHairBlackNormal HairOily HairDry HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairSynthetic HairFantastic!First off, I am a male with long, thick, black hair, naturally curly, with a colic (Gives me trouble no longer). I went to the store to purchase a new flat iron because the Remington Wet-2-Straight flat iron went completely obsolete after 2 weeks of use. I chose this brand and was extremely pleased. One run through the colic completely straightened it out to a point where you would not have noticed that there was a colic in the first place! Additionally, there was a point on the box that said "15 second heat up", and I was skeptical.....foolish me! In 15 seconds or less, the setting I set it to heated up! I have naturally frizzy hair, and this product does the job, not to mention that the fact that my hair is smooth as a new glass surface! I do recommend this product to anyone that has thick, thin, and long hair! Completely satisfying!posted Sep 22, 2013Link to this post
KarlynUnited StatesHairMedium BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairDevastatedI have very long naturally curly hair. I have used many different straightening irons with various results. The first time I used this straightener I was thrilled! My hair was straight and shiny. However, the second time I used it, it burned my hair! My ends all feel like melted plastic, and the smell was so gross! In all the different times I have straightened my hair I have never had such devastating results! Now, my naturally curly hair won't curl up at all! Instead it is frizzy with gross straight ends that I can't do anything with. I am getting my money back!posted Apr 21, 2013Link to this post

Kellie C.Arkansas, USAHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairVery Nice For The MoneyI really like this straightener. It is very lightweight and works very well. I like the floating plate, it helps keep your hair from getting pulled. It is a little narrow, and if you hold it where it is most comfortable to use, the handle is quite hot. But I think it is a great value.posted Oct 23, 2012Link to this post
CmHairBlackNormal HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairRuined My Hair!!!i had this straightener for less than two months i turned it on to my regular setting, for less then 5 minutes, i went to straighten my hair and it melted everything i hav patches and chunks falling out! my hair is destroyed, I DO NOT recommend this product to any one!posted Oct 16, 2012Link to this post
SamanthaHairMedium BrownNormal HairDoes The JobHeats up faster than my old cheep flat iron, but I'm not used to the long plates that are easier to burn fingers with when trying to wrap hair around it. Leaves crimps if hair is left wrapped in it for for longer than a half second, which worries me that it's frying my hair even after spraying on a heat protectant.posted Sep 23, 2012Link to this post
Ryan R.Chicago, ILHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairGood Flat Iron For Natural HairI was VERY skeptical of trying another Conair product because, to me, their flat irons & curling irons don't get hot enough for my hair. However, I read a review on here that had me interested, so I went ahead and took a risk. I just got done using the flat iron today, and I love it! It got hot enough for my hair, the aragan is a plus on my hair because it smells good and made my hair soft. This flat iron works better than the HAI flat iron that I bought from the website. It was definitely worth the purchase.posted Sep 16, 2012Link to this post
TonyTorontoHairBlackNormal HairDry HairBest Straightener Ever!!!!..... 8)Never had any intention of writing a review but Folica asked, so I comply...First of all, I am a male with long wavy black hair. One length & a little bit past my shoulder. The texture can be describe as normal I guess. Because of the waviness of my hair, it is extremely unmanageable unless I either, blow dry it or better yet, straighten it...I bought this straightener along with the Conair Infiniti iSeries Cord-Keeper Folding Dryer with the intention of using both on different occasions depending on what I want at that particular time. Anyway, I decided to try the straightener first because from my experience, straightening my hair always give me better control than blow drying it and therefore I prefer it....The result was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!...My hair is as straight as I wanted it to be, but best of all, it is soft, silky & extremely manageable!!....I don't claim to know a lot about different straighteners but man-oh-man, I can't imagine any straightener that would perform better than this one....The multiple heat setting is very precise & fantastic and essentially all I did was follow the instruction...The best part?....Very affordable & will not cost you an arm & a leg...The result I get from this straightener is so good that I haven't even touch the blow-dryer...And I don't see myself using the blow-dryer any time soon either....This straightener is perfect for long hair but not too long....If you have very long hair, I think you are going to need a straightener that's a little bit bigger than 1 inch.....If you have medium to longish shoulder length hair, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!..... 8)posted Jul 2, 2012Link to this post
ChristinaCanadaHairCurly HairColor Treated HairBest Hair Straightener!This hair straightener is absolutely fabulous! I've used a variety in my life time since being introduced to hair straighteners, And this is the best so far! I'm done spending hundreds of dollars on Chi's at my local salon, I'll stick to this forty dollar infiniti! Naturally, My hair is very curly and frizzy, But this straightener left it soft and silky smooth to the touch! And not to mention pin straight! Five stars from me.

Meet the Curators
Dr. Eleanor J. Sterling is the director of the Museum's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation (CBC). Dr. Sterling's primary research is focused on behavioral ecology, particularly of endangered mammals, turtles, and tortoises, and on biogeography and its application to conservation. She also focuses on tools for elucidating spatially explicit information on species and assemblages of species.
Dr. Sterling is currently co-leading population demography, genetic, epidemiological, and behavioral ecology research on the sea turtles of Palmyra Atoll, the Solomon Islands, and the broader Pacific. She is exploring the intersection between biodiversity, languages, and culture as well as the importance of ecological and evolutionary processes to conservation planning and implementation. For the first eight years of Dr. Sterling's work at the Museum, she coordinated multi-taxa surveys of Madagascar, Bolivia, and Vietnam. In 2000, Dr. Sterling spearheaded the establishment of the CBC's Network of Conservation Educators and Practitioners, which seeks to improve biodiversity conservation practice worldwide by improving training in conservation around the world.
In addition to Our Global Kitchen, Dr. Sterling has curated numerous exhibitions at the Museum, including on societal issues, most recently Water: H2O=Life.
Dr. Mark A. Norell is the chair of the Museum's Division of Paleontology. He works in several areas of specimen-based and theoretical research. He works on the description and relationships of coelurosaurs and studies elements of the Asian Mesozoic fauna. He analyzes important new "feathered" dinosaurs from Liaoning, China, and develops theoretical methods for better understanding phylogenetic relationships and pattern in the fossil record. Under his co-direction with Michael Novacek, a team of paleontologists working in the Gobi desert since 1990 has produced a wealth of great specimens. These studies have led to the development of a new phylogenetic hypothesis for coelurosaurian theropods. Similar studies have been carried out on fossil lizards and champsosaurs from this region. Work on these animals has led Dr. Norell's team to discover some aspects of anguimorph phylogeny, to recognize new clades of lizards, to phylogenetically place problematic taxa, and to describe poorly known taxa based on new material.
Dr. Norell's theoretical work focuses on developing methodology for evaluating the effect of missing data on large data sets, sensitivity methods for character weighting, and using phylogeny to estimate patterns in the fossil record such as diversity and extinction. He also studies the relationship between stratigraphic position and phylogenetic topology.
In addition to Our Global Kitchen, Dr. Norell has curated numerous exhibitions at the Museum, including The World's Largest Dinosaurs.
