There is lying, and then there is lying.
It seems that President Barack Obama doesn't know the difference, or more likely that he thinks the average American doesn't know the difference.
He may be in for a rude surprise and an even ruder final three, lame-duck years.
Yes, all presidents lie, if not explicitly, then indirectly. I don't have the documents in front of me – Doris Kearns Goodwin wasn't free for lunch – but I'm willing to bet that even George Washington, father of our country, and "Honest" Abe Lincoln lied for what they considered to be the best interests of the nation.
These days, presidential handlers and suck-up journalists try to prettify or fog up reality with a standard list of euphemisms: The president misspoke; was misleading, disingenuous or inaccurate; stretched the truth; dissembled; misinformed, etc.
But most Americans, although they tend to be increasingly uninformed, are able to cut through the fog.
They tolerate plenty of grey. They tend to excuse presidents who make campaign promises that they then routinely break when the reality of governing sets in.
Obama promised to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, to cut the deficit in half, to keep unemployment at less than 8 percent if Congress supported a stimulus package of nearly $900 billion. None of those was true. But, hey, most people figured he wanted them to be true, and he intended for them to be true, at least when he said them. So, they gave him a pass.
Most Americans will also support lies told to protect the safety of the country. Indeed, they expect and want their president and his chief lieutenants to lie in certain circumstances, such as when dealing with a mendacious leader of a hostile nation.
But it is something else when the intent is to deceive the American people instead of a hostile foreign regime. It is something else when the lie's intent is to cloak the reality of a controversial agenda, or to protect one's own political career.
Those kinds of lies from Obama now form a list too long to escape the notice of an otherwise forgiving public.
The president's "difficulties" of recent weeks are only incidentally because of the disastrous launch of the Obamacare website. If healthcare.gov worked perfectly, it would be even worse.
The problem is the promise the president made about three dozen times, before and after the law passed, that those who liked their health plans and doctors would be able to keep them. "Period." No exceptions, no caveats, no "unless something changes." As millions upon millions of people are finding out, that was a lie.
It is not a glitch. It is a core feature of the law. Obamacare depends on people being forced to pay for coverage they don't want or need.
No matter how much the president tries to dissemble and spin it, he knew it was a lie and he told it anyway – dozens of times. And the "fix" he proposed this week, to delay the impact of his lie for a year, doesn't change the bottom line.
Now that he has people's attention – and not in the way he wanted – it is more difficult for Obama to head fake his way out of it. When he said this will affect "only" 5 percent of the population, people know that means at least 15 million people. People know that if Republicans tried to throw that many off food stamps, the president would be comparing it to the end of civilization.
And it makes Americans more likely to wonder about all the other head faking that has been going on.
Are we really supposed to believe that Obama was unaware that nobody with the right technology experience was in charge of the health care website – supposedly his signature achievement?
Are we really supposed to believe that the president didn't know the National Security Agency was spying on American citizens before former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked a trove of documents proving it?
Are we supposed to believe that the president didn't know about the IRS targeting groups that opposed his election last year? That he had no knowledge of the Justice Department bugging the Associated Press? That he didn't know his intelligence agencies were bugging the phones of other world leaders, including American allies?
Are we supposed to believe that, weeks after an organized terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy in Lybia, the president really thought it was a spontaneous demonstration over a lame video that had been out on the web for months? Are we supposed to believe he hasn't "rested" since then in a quest to bring the perpetrators to justice?
Obama is starting to make George W. Bush look like a hands-on guy. He is taking out-of-touch – or maybe telling lies – to a whole new level.
And that is the main reason the rest of his agenda is in trouble.
If he makes promises about border enforcement being part of immigration reform, what sober person will believe him? When he assures us that "nobody is going to take away your guns," as a result of his gun-control agenda, who is going to be sucker enough to believe him?
That's the problem with lies told for no other reason than self-interest. Eventually they catch up with you.

29" mountain bike wheels have become the industry favorite for their obstacle rollover abilities, reduced rolling friction, good traction, and smoother riding. The majority of cross country mountain bike racing is predominantly accomplished on 29ers. If you are a weekend racer or simply enjoy spending a few hours a week on the single track, the Easton XC 29" Wheel is worth a glimpse. The XC 29" wheel is constructed with an aluminum rim and 24 J-bend spokes making it durable, yet keeping weight to a minimum, as it weighing in at 920 grams. Tubeless compatible, you can instantly shed the added weight of inner tubes which are required for clinchers. If you own a 29er and are thinking about entering the world of mountain bike racing or just want to upgrade to tubeless, the Easton XC 29" Wheel is a good place to start!

Comments about Easton XC 29" Front Wheel OE:
I ran over my other wheel with my car (I know don't say it) so I needed a quick fix until I could decide on a complete wheel set. I expected to start breaking spokes immediately or truing issues. Its held up like a champ and forgot about the better wheel set.

Comments about Easton XC 29" Front Wheel OE:
This is a good basic wheel, but was too narrow for me. The label in the rim says it is 16mm, and it measured 16.8mm inner width, which is too narrow for the 2.2" tire I intended to run.
Would be great for a commuter, cyclocross, or other medium width tire application.

I've sometimes been surprised by how cavalier bodily functions are discussed in France. I consider myself a pretty open person, but sometimes things get discussed that make me a little uncomfortable. And I've learned that being undressed in front of others is no big deal. I've always been fine with public nudity—well…as long as it wasn't me—but I've had to modify that stance a little since I moved here.
Last week I went back to my sock store and they had a man come and measure my legs. (That may be because my last visit probably sent the elderly salesclerk into her early retirement.) I stripped down to my euro-briefs and he ran that tape measure up and down my legs and around my calves, at one point using his thumb to firmly hold the end of the tape measure down on the end of, um…somewhere relatively private…that would not have made me all that uncomfortable except he did it with all the care of someone trying with great purpose to jam a thumbtack into a concrete wall.

NEVADA COUNTY — Unemployment, poor education, disease, chronic drug and alcohol abuse, mental illness, family breakdown, domestic violence and crime all come together in homelessness, a county official said Thursday.
And solutions to that problem lead to the clash of competing rights, needs and viewpoints: Public health and safety versus compassion for the less-fortunate, trespassing on private property versus education, the humanitarian horror of people living in the streets versus the right to live how one pleases.
But government agencies working with nonprofit organizations, medical providers, faith congregations and others can pool their resources and take small steps to keep the problem from growing, elected policy-makers agreed in an informal meeting of officials from Nevada County, Nevada City, Grass Valley and Truckee.
At least three other community meetings have taken place to discuss homelessness since the death of Billy Kelly under a bridge one subfreezing night last winter shocked the western county.
But Thursday's gathering at the fire station on Sierra College Drive was the first time leaders from the four jurisdictions have gathered with law enforcement, fire and social service agencies to brainstorm what to do about it.
Grass Valley resident Diane Livingston was concerned about the danger to others caused by cooking and warming fires at the homeless camps that dot the county, she said.
"But how do you help 'travelers,' campers, for the benefit of the whole, and still be compassionate about it?" Livingston said.
In 2011, the three fire agencies that cover much of the western county — Grass Valley, Nevada City and Nevada County -Consolidated — fought 15 wildland fires that started at homeless camps, Consolidated Fire Chief Tim Fike said.
And each of the 20 or so times the agencies went out to investigate a report of smoke at the camps, it cost rate payers $25,000, Fike added.
Nationally, the cost of doing nothing at all to help homeless people lift themselves up costs up to $55,000 per homeless person yearly in responses by law enforcement, fire agencies and medical providers including hospitals, according to Nevada City Councilwoman Reinette Senum.
Helping homeless people survive could encourage more to come to Nevada County, some worried.
"We were on borrowed time with this last year," county Sheriff's Capt. Jeff Powell said. "We have to be careful about enabling camps because they may become larger. If we get a windy day (and a fire starts), we're gong to be in some serious trouble."
But getting homeless people the medical attention they need can get them on a path toward stability and permanent housing, said Dr. Frank "Junior" Lang of Western Sierra Medical Clinic Inc., the new owner of Miner's Family Clinic in Grass Valley.
Reaching out to homeless families, children and emancipated foster youth needs to be a priority, many participants agreed.
"We need to reach those kids and break the cycle," Grass Valley Mayor Janet Arbuckle said.
In the long term, homeless people who are helped to become stable could be trained for jobs that would support a healthy local economy, Senum said.
Meanwhile, in the short term, agencies need to work together to teach homeless people fire safety, Arbuckle said.
And agencies can work together to coordinate the many services already available to the homeless and those on the brink, participants agreed.
"Homelessness is really the intersection of the major social problems in society today," said county Health and Human Services Director Jeff Brown. "No one government agency can tackle this on their own and have success."
Joanna Robinson, a long-time advocate for the homeless and a cofounder of Hospitality House shelter, was encouraged by the meeting, she said.
"I feel there's a real spirit of cooperation," Robinson said.
Defining who are the homeless and launching a multi-faceted outreach to educate those who want to help is a good way to start, she said.
"It's good to start small," Robinson added.

Detailed Itinerary
Depart from origin. If you are commencing your journey from the United States, we can recommend the best airlines and routings for your particular needs. We can also introduce you to consolidators who offer discounted fares (First, Business and Economy) on these flights. This is a service provided solely as a convenience and extra value for our guests. We do not sell airline tickets to people not touring with us.
Day 1: Arrive at Delhi (most flights arrive either in the evening or at night). Our services begin here. You are greeted at the airport by an Easy Tours Travel Facilitator and ushered to a chauffeur driven vehicle. You are then driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check-in. The next day's plans are briefly reviewed and you are presented with your welcome package. Among other things, this package includes a beautiful handcrafted journal for your explorations, travel documents such as your air tickets and hotel vouchers, as well as copies of documents (such as our General Travel Guide) that were sent to you earlier.
Day 2: Delhi. Start your exploration of India with a guided city tour of New Delhi. This excursion begins with the awe-inspiring Qutab Minar (1193 A.D.). This 239-foot tall medieval tower is a symbol of victory and a beautiful example of Persian architecture from that period. There is a winding stairway inside the tower that goes up all the way to the balcony at the very top of the tower - unfortunately they are no longer accessible for visitors. The Qutab Minar and its Monuments are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Within the Qutab complex, amidst the ruins of the Quwat-ul-Islam Mosque, stands one of the legendary Ashoka Pillars. This large iron pillar has withstood the ravages of Delhi's weather (and recent pollution) and has not rusted in more than 1500 years. After the Qutab complex you will be driven to visit the magnificent tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun. Delhi has such an abundance of amazing monuments that this Tomb Complex (1562 A.D.) does not quite get the acclaim that it deserves. It is Delhi's third UNESCO World Heritage Site and its amazing architecture and the elaborate gardens will captivate you.
From the tomb you will proceed on a drive to Lutyens' New Delhi. This drive will include photo opportunities at some of the following attractions - the exterior of the massive and awe-inspiring Rashtrapati Bhawan (known as Viceroy's House during the British era), Delhi's landmark structure India Gate, Bangla Sahib Gurudwara (a gold domed Sikh Temple), and the Birla Temple. The last part of this excursion is a drive through Connaught Place, which is New Delhi's downtown.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon - enjoy a city tour of Old Delhi. Drive, walk and ride through the ancient city's streets and alleys; explore crowded and colorful bazaars. This excursion includes an exploration of the Jama Masjid (1650 A.D.), the largest mosque in India. The Masjid (Mosque) is a magnificent example of Mughal architecture and is constructed of red sandstone and white marble. It is an active place of worship and its courtyard can hold 25,000 worshippers. You continue on to the amazing Red Fort that was finished a decade before the mosque. Both structures were built by Shah Jahan, the emperor who created the Taj Mahal. The great city inside the massive sandstone walls of the Red Fort offers visitors a large number of architectural and historical attractions; it was once known as the 8th wonder of the world. The Red Fort was the seat of the Mughal Empire for more than two hundred and fifty years and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is an amazing example of a blend of Persian, Indian and European architecture. You will also experience a fascinating rickshaw ride in the ancient alleys of the crowded and colorful bazaar at Chandni Chowk, followed by a walk through the ancient spice and street food market that is part of the bazaar. After these experiences a short drive will deliver you to an oasis of calm and serenity, which also happens to be your last destination in Old Delhi. The cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi (Raj Ghat) is a simple yet stirring memorial to the father of the nation. Lush lawns extend beyond the enclosure surrounding the black marble platform occupying the spot where the Mahatma was cremated. An eternal flame burns next to the platform.
An optional cultural excursion is available this evening. You can ask to be escorted to a dance and musical performance at the Kingdom of Dreams theatre in nearby Gurgaon (entry fee surcharge). This needs to be selected when you reserve your tour.
Day 3: Delhi - Agra. Checkout from your hotel in the morning (after breakfast) and join your chauffeur for the drive to Agra on North India's newest highway.
Start your exploration of Agra with a visit to the famous tomb of Itmad-Ud-Daulah. This memorial was built by the Mughal Emperor Jehangir's queen as a memorial to her father. The tombs sheer beauty will surprise you - the only reason it does not get more accolades is because it shares the stage with the incomparable Taj Mahal. Like the Taj it has amazingly intricate 'Pietra Dura' inlay and lattice marble screens. The mausoleum rests in a walled garden with a view of the river Yamuna. Constructed in the year 1628, most historians believe that its design provided the inspiration for the Taj Mahal. After exploring the tomb you are driven to your hotel and assisted with your check-in.
There is a break for lunch.
After lunch you will visit the first red sandstone fort of North India, the Agra Fort. It was built in 1565 by India's greatest Mughal ruler, Emperor Akbar. Its royal audience halls, immense stone courtyards, marble mosque and the private royal chambers give us a glimpse of the grandeur of the Mughal Empire.
After the fort you will visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the incomparable Taj Mahal. The world's greatest monument dedicated to love is obviously a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Taj Mahal was completed by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 AD as a memorial to his beloved queen, Mumtaz Mahal. This spectacular white marble mausoleum was created by about 22,000 skilled craftsmen and it took twenty two years to complete. When you experience the Taj Mahal with an Easy Tours Guide and have them provide unique insights into its innumerable facets, some of their passion for this masterpiece may rub off on you! Explore the amazing Taj and its surroundings until it is time to admire the sun's rays setting on the facade of the world's finest monument.
Agra's artists are famous for their inlaid marble creations.
Day 4: Agra - Ranthambore. You can either sleep in or choose to enjoy either of these optional sunrise visits (no charge) - the Taj Mahal to experience the rising sun's rays as they gleam on the inlaid stones of the monument, or a visit to Mehtab Bagh, which is a 500-year-old Mughal garden located across from the Taj Mahal on the other side of the Yamuna River. If you select either of these options, you will return to your hotel to freshen up after the excursion. We recommend that you consider getting a packed lunch from the hotel for your upcoming journey. The dining/rest stopover during the journey offers limited choices.
You are assisted with your checkout from your hotel and then you are driven to Fatehpur Sikri. Enjoy a guided exploration of this beautiful uninhabited city. It was built by Emperor Akbar between 1570 and 1585 A.D. and is constructed primarily out of red sandstone. The Emperor moved his capital from Agra to this city and then, a few years later, abandoned it, returning back to Agra. Visit the tallest gateway in the world, the towering Bulund Darwaza (The Gate of Victory). In the northern part of the courtyard is the superb white marble tomb of Shaik Salim Chishti, built in 1570.
Continue on with your journey to Sawai Madhopur (Ranthambore National Park). The second half of this drive is through rural Rajasthan and there are multiple photo opportunities of the colorful villagers as they go about their daily activities. You will also encounter many camels and other livestock on this drive.
You are greeted on arrival at your jungle lodge and assisted with your check-in.
Since 2006, Easy Tours of India has tracked the percentage of tiger sightings for our guests in Ranthambore National Park. More than 85% of our guests have had tiger sightings during this period, with many of them getting multiple sightings.
Day 5: Ranthambore. Covering an area of 410 square kilometers, Ranthambore National Park runs along the eastern spur of the Aravali mountain range until it meets with the Vindhya ranges. Ranthambore was once the Jaipur rulers' private hunting ground. In 1972 it was declared a Sanctuary and was brought under the Project Tiger Conservation platform. Dry deciduous forest covers most of the park, and the vegetation is lush around the many small lakes and ponds. The open grasslands that are the tiger's favorite terrain account for much of the land on the higher slopes. This varied flora supports a large number of animals including a variety of deer, the sloth bear, the shy caracal, leopards and of course, the tiger.
Enjoy wildlife safaris into the park in the morning and evening.
In between safaris, you have the option of a guided visit to the Ranthambore Fort. This excursion does have a fairly steep climb – approximately 700 feet of stairs. The massive Fort is one of the finest examples of the ancient Hindu concept of Vana-Durg, or a fort protected by a jungle. The history of this Fort (originally built in 944 A.D.) is a chronicle full of tales of blood and valor. Successively occupied by the Muslims, Rajputs and Mughals, the insides of the fort today lie partly in ruin. There are superb views of the park to be had from the ramparts. There is an ancient temple located in the fort and it attracts a continuous stream of pilgrims from the surrounding villages. A little note of caution - a large number of aggressive langur's (South Asian monkeys) have made the Fort area their home and it is not advisable to have shiny objects and food visible in your hands as you tour the fort as it will be snatched away.
Day 6: Ranthambore - Jaipur. Enjoy your last safari into Ranthambore in the morning. Return to your hotel after the safari to freshen up and have breakfast. Checkout from your hotel and then there is a break for lunch. After lunch, you are driven to Jaipur. The first half of this drive is also through rural Rajasthan and there are multiple photo opportunities. Sawai Madhopur itself (the community located next to Ranthambore) is a rural small town, and you will drive through it to get a glimpse of life here before you head for Jaipur. Check in at your hotel upon your arrival at Jaipur.
Evening - You can either choose to enjoy your hotel this evening, or you can be escorted to the home of a Rajasthani Nobleman, where you will enjoy a traditional dinner with members of the family. This option needs to be selected before your arrival in India.
Jaipur is famous for its carpets, jewelry and handicrafts.
Day 7: Jaipur. Start your day with an excursion to the Amber Fort and Palace, located a short distance from the walled city. Just like the Emperors of a few centuries ago, enjoy the ascent up to the ramparts of the fort on top of a colorfully caparisoned elephant (jeeps are available instead of the elephants, if you so desire). The massive Fort complex was originally built by Raja Mansingh and is one of India's finest examples of Rajput architecture. Explore the chambers and hallways, which are famous for their exquisite designs and handcrafted embellishments. Return to the valley beneath the Fort on your elephant or jeep and proceed back to the Pink City.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon - Enjoy a city tour of the walled city of Jaipur, including the magnificent City Palace. Visit Jantar Mantar (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the magnificent stone observatory built by Raja Jai Singh in 1728. After the observatory comes a photo opportunity of the Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Wind). This intriguing facade was built in 1799 so that the ladies of the court could use its unique windows and observe the bustling bazaar without being visible to the people on the streets. Continue the tour with an exploration of the City Palace, the former royal residence (a part of it is still occupied by the Royal family and is not accessible to the public), built in a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles. This immense complex also houses a number of museums that offer a large and impressive collection of costumes, armory and miniature paintings. During this afternoon you will enjoy a brief stop for a tour of a collection of Rajput turbans. A turban tying demonstration is included, as are turban and Sari tying lessons.
Day 8: Jaipur - Udaipur. Checkout from your hotel in the morning after an early breakfast and join your chauffeur for the drive to Udaipur. This is the longest drive on your itinerary (7 hours of drive time) and we recommend that you get a packed lunch from your hotel as the dining options off the highway are not very nice. Arrive at Udaipur in the late afternoon/early evening and check-in to your hotel.
Udaipur is famous for its artists and paintings, including exquisite miniatures.
Day 9: Udaipur. Proceed for a city tour, including a tour of the fabled City Palace. At this Palace complex, explore the beautifully decorated rooms with thousands of exquisite, handcrafted mirrors that cover the walls, the ancient ivory doors (a dark reminder of Indian royalty's passion for hunting), the brightly colored stained glass windows, expansive inlaid marble balconies and the unique peacock courtyard. There are amazing views to be had from this structure, especially of Lake Pichola, the Lake Palace hotel and Jag Mandir Island. Enjoy a private tour of the amazing Crystal Gallery, which houses the world's largest collection of priceless crystal. Marvel at pieces like the complete bedroom furniture set in crystal, discovered recently in a store room off the palace.
After your tour of the City Palace you can choose to return to your hotel to relax, or opt for an excursion that includes a visit to the vintage car museum that is owned by Udaipur's royal family. The large collection of classic European and American automobiles is fascinating for all car lovers. This excursion also includes a brief exploration of the Sahelion-Ki-Bari gardens, which are of some historical relevance but unimpressive as an Indian garden.
Late afternoon/Early evening: Enjoy a cruise on Lake Pichola and visit the historical and beautiful monuments at Jag Mandir Island (if available - the royal family at Udaipur will occasionally rent out the island for large celebrations, and on those occasions the island cannot be visited by tourists).
Day 10: Udaipur - Mumbai. You are assisted with your checkout in the early morning and driven to the airport where you are assisted with boarding your morning flight to Mumbai. On arrival at Mumbai you are greeted by an Easy Tours Facilitator and chauffeur.
Proceed for a guided city tour of Mumbai. The tour begins at the Prince of Wales Museum, built to commemorate King George V's first visit to India in 1905. Designed in the Indo-Saracenic style, the museum has sections of art, paintings, archeological exhibits and natural history. After the museum tour you will visit the famous Dhobi Ghat and observe the age old tradition of the Dhobi's doing Mumbai's laundry!
There is a break for lunch.
Continue the tour with a drive up to Malabar Hill where the hanging gardens give a panoramic view of the city and the Queen's Necklace (Marine Drive). The tour then takes a drive through the Flora Fountain and Fort area where you can view the impressive Gothic and Victorian buildings that were constructed during the British Raj. Visit the Victoria Terminus (now known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus). It is India's finest example of Gothic architecture and one of the world's busiest railway stations.
Drive around Horniman Circle and visit the Town Hall, right beside the docks of Mumbai. Visit the city's signature landmark, The Gateway of India, situated overlooking Mumbai's harbor. This structure was built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Mumbai. You are then driven to your hotel and assisted with your check-in to your hotel.
Day 11: Mumbai - International Flight. You are assisted your checkout from your hotel by noon and then driven to the airport where you are assisted with boarding your flight.
Departure Option 1: If you are boarding your international flight from Mumbai, since most international flights depart in the evening, a personal vehicle and chauffeur are available to you until 9 pm for your assisted check in at the airport.

Peter de Villiers, whose last Bok XV had just three players of colour, says the current Bok team, which also has three, is too white.
Speaking to Ballz Radio on Monday, De Villiers lashed out at Heyneke Meyer's apparent lack of interest in selecting players of colour.
'It's just the little things that bother me,' said De Villiers. 'We need to know in what country we do live. And at this moment we are turning a lot of black people against ourselves by making the team white and nobody will talk about these things but I just have to. And that is what … actually we're breaking up our country again. We're turning all the black support against the Springboks. Wherever I go I hear people talking negative about the Springboks.'
Ironically, though, Meyer selected three players of colour for the Test against the All Blacks in Dunedin (Beast Mtawarira, Bryan Habana and Zane Kirchner), the same number that De Villiers selected for the 2011 World Cup quarter-final against the Wallabies (Gurthro Steenkamp, Habana, and JP Pietsersen).
De Villiers told Ballz Radio that Gio Aplon, Juan de Jongh and Chiliboy Ralepelle were black players he feels could make a difference, yet Aplon started just three Tests in 2011 (one of which was against Namibia at the World Cup), De Jongh two (he came off the bench twice at the World Cup against Fiji and Namibia), and Ralepelle none (all three of his appearances last year were off the bench, including one against Namibia at the World Cup). In the four years that De Villiers was coach, Ralepelle started just two Tests at hooker, in the dead rubber against the British & Irish Lions at Ellis Park in 2009 and against Italy in Witbank in 2010.
The fact is that De Villiers's transformation record as Bok coach is no better than Meyer's.

Use your finger to melt the butters and oils, then stroke it onto the ends of your hair to help repair split ends and perfume your hair beautifully. Or, just use it to perfume your hair – you're allowed!
Shine So Bright
Product Actions
Mend those ends
We've concocted a beautiful balm to prevent split ends and help hair shine so bright. Extra virgin coconut and olive oils, shea butter and fresh free range eggs nourish and improve the tensile strength of hair to prevent and mend split ends. It works wonderfully as a finishing product as well, taming fly-aways and keeping hair in place for a flawless look. Add to that an orange flower, grapefruit, neroli and rosewood perfume and you won't want to leave home without this!
- Egg-cellent!: Eggs form a conditioning coating on the hair. The protein content of the eggs adds lustrous shine to hair and helps increase its tensile strength.
- The scent of a wow-mane: This nourishing balm prevents split ends, but we've been applying it just for the beautiful perfume too!
- Change your habits:For those of you who sit and snap the ends off your hair, melt this balm into those tired ends instead!

Q:Are there any adverse effects to using an expired tin of this product?Asked on 9/5/2014 by Kaitlin from New York

Q:I want to use this product when straightening my hair. Would I use it before or after?Asked on 5/8/2014 by Heidi
3 answers
A:It is best to use Shine So Bright on the ends of your hair after straightening it. It will help to seal the cuticle, mend the ends of the hair, and tame any frizziness at the ends.Answered on 5/9/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Shine so Bright is not a heat protector or a straightening aid, so I don't
know if it would be helpful before straightening. However, it is good to
treat the ends of your hair after they have been damaged. I like to warm
some up between my palms and press it into the ends of my hair before I go
to sleep. Using too much can make your hair a bit waxy before you wash it
out, so that's what I would recommend.Answered on 5/9/2014 by Anonymous
A:If use it after and brush it very well. That's what works best for me!

Q:Does this product help to prevent split ends from worsening, or does it just hide the appearance of them?Asked on 4/13/2014 by maddieemily from Oklahoma
3 answers
A:Shine So Bright helps repair and prevent split ends by nourishing and improving the strength of the hair.Answered on 4/15/2014 by Anonymous
A:In my experience it helps prevent split ends from getting worse and treats/hides the ones you do have. It's also great for easing really frizzy tips/static without weighing your hair down. I only use it once or twice a week as a maintenance treatment and as needed when my hair decides to get really poofy. I have thin/fine hair that splits easily.Answered on 4/14/2014 by Anonymous
A:In my opinion it helps them from getting worse. At first, I didn't think it did anything but now it is a must have in my purse. I use it between washes and it seems to do the trick. Tames fly always and trouble spots too without having to use a sticky gel. I hope that helps you!

Q:How often should Shine So Bright be used?Asked on 1/9/2014 by mmb
2 answers
A:Shine So Bright can be used as often as is best for your hair. Some prefer to use it daily, and for others it works better with their hair to use it weekly or so. We suggest experimenting to see what works best for you!Answered on 3/14/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I use shine so bright every day! I wash with fair trade honey shampoo then use okra conditioner. After my hair mostly air dries I use the tip of my fingernail to get just a little shine so bright out of the container. I rub it in my palms to get a nice consistency then apply it to the ends of my hair about 7 inches from the bottom all the way down really concentrating on the tips. Before I started using these products my hair was extremely damaged and full of frizz. I used to blow dry every day with a round brush and had to keep my hair pretty short. The ends were always so broken and damaged. It is an on going cycle of damaging my hair then doing more damage trying to hide the damage. I have been with my new routine now for about 8 months and my hair stylist just can't believe how healthy and amazing my hair is. He does not even bother trying to sell me "salon products" anymore. I literally saw a huge difference the first time that I used it and it only gets better. I have tried every product out there. Nothing even comes close. Best thing is now I don't even have to blow dry my hair or do anything to it. I can just wash and go. I carry a shine so bright in my purse and also have one at home. When I get to where I am going I just comb through my hair really quick and use the shine so bright and viola ready! No more hours wasted only to have unhealthy hair! I tried a few lush products before I came to this combination but nothing worked like this. I suppose that everyone will formulate their own special routine. But as far as the shine so bright, I believe that would be a win for everyone. It seems to almost "mend" the split ends until your hair has the chance to grow out all of the mess that well I called hair before I stumbled on lush products. Now I really don't have split ends and my hair has grown so much. I still use shine so bright because it protects my ends from the splitting again and does give a nice healthy shine to my now beautiful bouncy long hair :-) Hope that helps!

Q:Can this be used on dyed hair? Will it lighten the color?Asked on 7/22/2013 by Unknown from Hawthorn Woods, IL

Q:Can this product be used as a style wax? I'm currently using something to tame my bangs but looking for a more natural approach.Asked on 12/27/2012 by Anonymous

A:Shine So Bright works most effectively on dry hair. Wet hair has absorbed water and this hinders the hair from further absorbing the nutrients and other beneficial ingredients found in this balm.Answered on 11/22/2012 by Anonymous

Cute magnets, great price!
I am so glad I decided to order my save the date magnets from this site they did an excellent job and the price was right! They also came wrapped in a beautiful box with invitation samples which I thought was nice. I would definitely recommend!
Adore these labels!
I purchased these labels to use on my save the dates and my wedding invitations. It was nice I was able to change the background color. I was disappointed that I was unable to order just the smaller labels without the seals which I don't plan on using.
Great Magnet and Easy to Customize
So happy with the quality and the ease of ordering this save the date! Would definitely recommend to others. only down side was that i didn't receive enough envelopes, although i ordered extras :(
Wedding Magnets
I really liked our magnets that we got. I will say I was a little disappointed with the color on one of the pictures because it made me look orange but I think they are a really cute idea! Overall I was happy with the product. Just don't do too much to the color of your picture when it asks if you want to make it better.

Morne Steyn could leave the Bulls after their Super Rugby campaign if they agree to release him early from his contract.
Steyn's agent, Johan van Greune, confirmed the flyhalf is looking for a new challenge following speculation in the French press on Monday that he would be joining Stade Francais.
'There is a deal on the table and we're waiting for final paper work,' Van Greune told Eyewitness News Sport on Tuesday. 'The final decision to move to Stade Francais has also not been taken by Morne. His contract to play for the Bulls is until the end of the year.
'We are waiting for a pre-contract from Stade Francais and then I need approval from the Bulls so that he can leave after Super Rugby. So there are still a few things to do before there's an actual contract signed.'
Steyn, who has 42 Test caps, was dropped by Bok coach Heyneke Meyer during last year's Rugby Championship after a string of poor performances and did not make the Bok 23 for their final match of the year against England at Twickenham.
Van Greune said Steyn would still be available for Bok selection if he opted to play club rugby in France.

Kinston's boys soccer team made history on Wednesday, and it's hoping to keep adding to it today.
The Vikings will travel to Carrboro today for a second round NCHSAA state 2A boys soccer playoff match at 5 p.m.
Kinston (11-5-2) defeated Edenton Holmes 2-0 on Wednesday for its first state playoff win in six tries in boys soccer. A victory today would be another milestone this year's team has reached.
The Vikings finished second in the league for the first time, earned its best conference record at 10-2 then capped it with a victory on Wednesday.
"Hopefully we're not done. Hopefully we can carry this momentum into Saturday," Kinston coach Joe Romig said.
"Saturday's going to be a little bit bigger game than this."
Compared to its first round match, Kinston will have a more formidable opponent today.
Carrboro (14-6-3), the Carolina 12 1A/2A Conference champion, is also the defending 2A Eastern Regional champion. The Jaguars fell in overtime 3-2 to Salisbury in the state 2A title match last season.
"It's going to be a harder game than this," said senior foreign exchange student Stan Vanclooster, who scored both goals for Kinston on Wednesday. "The team is going to be stronger. We're going to try and do our best. We will see what happens."
Kinston's road to its first and only second round state playoff match actually began with the playoffs in 2011.
The Vikings, hosting a state playoff match for the first time, were shutout by Topsail 6-0. The defeat proved to Kinston that even though it hosted a state playoff match it still had a ways to go to compete against state-wide competition.
The team took the loss and used it as fuel when it opened summer workouts.
"We did it starting June 15," Romig said. "(Topsail) dictated the game and then they showed us something — that we weren't there yet."
Now, for the first time, the Vikings are there, and they've gotten there by trusting in each other instead of relying on individual performances.
"When they take something like their ego and throw it out the door, and they're fighting for this guy and this guy and their team, then anything's accomplishable," Romig said. "You can reach for the stars at that point."
Rams go for third title
Greene Central's girls tennis team returns to the NCHSAA dual-team state championship today with the hopes of knocking off four-time defending champion Salisbury.
The Rams, who made a perfect 12-0 run through the Eastern Plains 2A Conference, are back in the title match after losing 5-0 to Salisbury in 2009. The match will begin at 12:30 p.m. at the Burlington Tennis Complex.
Longtime coach Donald Clark called this year "magical," and said he expected a rebuilding year after Greene Central graduated three seniors from last season's regional runner-up squad and dropped six of its first 12 matches in 2012.
The Rams (20-8) have won 14 of their last 16 matches and have yet to lose to a 2A team (19-0).
"This has truly been a magical season for us," Clark said. "The girls kept working hard throughout the year, and we made progress as a team every week.
"This is our 11th trip to the state finals since 1998, but this will always be one of my most special teams because of the totally unexpected nature of this season."
While Greene Central is hoping to win its third state title — it won titles in 2005 and 2007, both over Salisbury — it must play to perfection against a team that has won eight state titles, ranked tops in the state and is 20-2 on the season.
"We will have to play a perfect match to upset Salisbury. Salisbury is incredibly talented with one of the best coaches in the state," Clark said.
"I'm sure my girls are going to give their absolute best effort as they have all year long, and that's all that I ever ask out of my players."
SL duo in cross country championships
South Lenoir distance runners Caroline Jones and Mason Zeagler will take part in the NCHSAA state 2A cross country championships today at Beeson Park in Kernersville.
Jones and Zeagler both finished among the top five individuals who were not on a qualifying team in last weekend's regionals to qualify for the state championships.
Zeagler will run at 10 a.m. in the 2A boys race while Jones will follow in the 2A girls race at 11 a.m.

Easy and Beautiful
It was fun and easy to design my invitations. Picking and tweaking my colors was definitely a highlight. And they turned out beautifully.
Great Quality
We have been so pleased with our decision to order our Save the Dates from Magnet Street! Not only do we love the design, but the quality of the card is excellent! We were also very impressed with timely shipping! I would recommend this site to anyone!
awesome service, great value, totally classy
I only scored paper and print as merely good because these are not high-end, luxurious invitations. For the value, though, I am EXTREMELY pleased. We had a TON of changes to make, adding elements that weren't even options in the customize phase, and our designer worked with us very quickly to get exactly what we wanted. I will say that our initials on the vellum don't match of perfectly with the circles, which irks the control freak in me, but other than that they look just great!
Happy Customer
I used this magnet for my save the dates. I liked that there was enough room to fit all the information I wanted (our names, date, "save the date," location, "formal invitation to follow," and our website). I also liked the "mini" size of the magnets. I wouldn't want them any bigger. I personalized the magnet with a white background; color photo; and azalea, lime, kiwi, and carrot colored dots and text (azalea and lime being the primary colors). The colors really pop and turned out exactly how I wanted! The photo came out slightly grainy even though I used a super high quality photo. But not enough for it to bother me. They look fabulous on the fridge! I didn't use the coordinating card holders, because when I'd seen a sample, the card holder bent the magnet's corners. Plus it wasn't worth the extra cost in my opinion. But I did order the coordinating seal and label set, which I loved! I also personalized them to match my colors, and they were worth the money! In my opinion, not having to write your return address on every envelope is definitely worth the extra cost! I ordered my magnets on February 18th, they shipped on February 29th, and they were delivered on March 2nd. The magnets came in a nice box, with everything in great condition. They even sent me a few extra, but don't count on this because it just depends on the production process. I had ordered about 25 extra of everything, and am glad I did since I had to do a few re-writes! When I mailed them, they didn't need any extra postage. I absolutely love my save the date magnets, received lots of compliments on them, and would definitely order them again!
Save The Date Magnets
I am really happy with the Save The Date magnets we ordered. The quality is very good and I liked that it comes with lined envelopes. I also was able to use a code to get % off. Worth the $!

Out of Town
You see, I am going to a blogger retreat! I can't even tell you how excited I am! There will be classes on photography, style, cupcake making, yoga, and more! Fancy dinners, cute houses for us to stay in, and bike rides by the river. GAH! Get me there now!!
I will also be spending the weekend with my family. My dad and I will both be home (I'll only be there part of the time) this weekend and I couldn't be more excited to see my family. It's been far too long. I'm not used to going this long without seeing them.
I will also be doing a bride's makeup for her wedding day (Wish. Me. Luck!), seeing my cute pregnant friend (we've been friends, oh, forever), and lunching with some other bff's. :)
Oh and one more thing... there will probably be some changes happening around these parts soon... and not just with my... ahem... hair... (that means I'm not the only one getting a makeover)

Twenty-one years and counting. Combined, three local veterans have waited over two decades for compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the clock is still ticking.
"I blame the wait on employment," said Katherine Washington-Williams, the state commander of the National Association of Black Veterans Inc. "(The Department of Veterans Affairs) needs to hire more people. They have too many records to process and not enough people to process them. By changing the way they do things we can put a dent in the VA backlog."
Currently there are over 700,000 veterans nationally waiting for the disability claims to be processed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The average wait time for a claim to be processed is 260 days – a number that has doubled since 2008, according to the VA. Many local veterans have waited three, four and five times the average wait time and have still heard nothing.
"Be patient and persevere," said Washington-Williams, 50, of Fayetteville. "Don't give up and please do not remove your claim. Hang in there and keep fighting for what you are owed. As long as you have breath in your body, keep on fighting."
But after 10 years of waiting for his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder to be service connected, Antonio Scott, 47, of Jacksonville has contemplated giving up.
"Sometimes the VA is confusing," said Scott, a Marine veteran. "They have so many components and it's like going through a maze. When you try to talk to people you wait forever and nobody gives you answers and if they do answer you, they're generic."
Scott said he has written, called and emailed the Department of Veterans Affairs but said he never hears back.
"It's truly difficult and it tests your resolve," Scott said. "You don't even know if they've received your stuff because they don't call you back. If they just made it so you had a case worker who was in charge of your file and you had the ability to call, email or write to that person — things would be much easier. But you speak to a different person every time and they never have answers."
Despite his decade long wait, he said the VA does deserve some kudos.
"The medical and education benefits are amazing and easy to use," Scott said. "But the claims process is the most confusing and discouraging thing I have ever done in my life."
Herbert E. Brisbane, a Marine veteran has also nearly given up during his six-year wait on the VA to service connect his prostate cancer which doctors say was directly caused by Agent Orange exposure during Vietnam.
"The denied my claim six years ago," said Brisbane, 60, of Jacksonville. "I waited five years to go in front of an appeals judge. That happened last May and I've been waiting ever since for an answer. Who knows when I'll get it."
When the process started years ago, Brisbane had very derogatory thoughts towards the VA but after a trip to the Winston Salem office where he saw the stacks of records, his thoughts changed.
"My hat's off to them," Brisbane said. "They work hard but they are just overwhelmed. The records are stacked to the ceiling. I know how hard they work but I just wish they'd get to my claim already. It's been long enough."
After years of struggling, Brisbane offers one bit of advice to active duty service members about to make the transition.
"Make sure you've got accurate records from the time you joined until you're ready to get out," Brisbane said. "Everything that occurred that's health related needs to be documented so when you try to claim things at your discharge, everything is supported. You have to cover your bases because the VA isn't looking out for you. You need to look out for yourself."
It is not just veterans who struggle with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Many widows are often left fighting for disability compensation after their spouses die from service connected disabilities.
One widow, Shirley Carter, 67, of Jacksonville began filing for her late husband's disability compensation five years ago.
"It's like pulling teeth to get them to acknowledge he was exposed to Agent Orange during Vietnam," said Carter about her husband who was a Marine aviator responsible for reconnaissance missions. "He had liver and colon cancer caused by the chemicals he was exposed to. My husband served honorably and it's about getting closure for my three sons and I."
For Carter, giving up is not an option, she said.
"My sons won't let me give up," she said. "It's painful dealing with the VA because it forces you to relive his death over and over again. And they speak another language so they ask for things but when you send them they say you sent the wrong thing."
Over the past five years Carter has received four letters from the VA. Two were letters stating she was ineligible for compensation. The other two were requesting supporting documentation – the same documentation she had already submitted.
"My son's father died from exposure that was service connected," Carter said. "Closure for me consists of them admitting it happened rather than just saying no to me. Just be open and honest – that's good enough for me. They can keep the money, just honor my husband's service."

The Economics of Professional Sports: If You Build It, Will They Come?
In many communities a major public policy issue has developed out of the desire of professional sports teams to play in new facilities: To what extent should the public sector subsidize new (or rehabilitated) stadiums and arenas for professional sport franchises? Teams want new buildings because of their revenue potential and would rather someone else paid for their construction. Teams argue public subsidies for playing facility construction are appropriate because of the positive impact professional sports teams provide for a community. Opponents to public subsidies argue professional sport franchises provide little positive impact.
Economists have generally sided with the opponents of subsidies. A good example of the view of economists can be found here . The activities in this lesson are designed to help students understand why economists generally oppose subsidies for sport franchises and why subsidies may make political sense even if they do not make economic sense.
