About FTD
The debate over whether it's actually better to give than to receive is only complicated by FTD coupons from Groupon Freebies, since they allow you to give someone a beautifully arranged flower bouquet and receive a discount. The company, which started in 1910, specializes in arranging flowers for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and nearly any other occasion imaginable. But FTD doesn't just do flowers. As you'll see, an FTD coupon code can be used to save money on the company's array of complementary gifts, including jewelry, sweets, wine, and spa products. So scroll down and find an FTD coupon for an item that suits your occasion.
When FTD started in 1910, its floral orders were sent via telegraph. A lot has changed since then—for starters, the Internet was invented—but one thing hasn't: its mission to deliver beautifully arranged flowers on time. Once customers place an order by either using FTD's website or calling 1-800-SEND-FTD, the Illinois-based company works to deliver the item as soon as possible. In many cases, if the order is placed on a non-holiday weekday before 2 p.m., the item will be delivered that same day. That dependability has helped FTD to reach the 85th ranking on the Internet Retailer 500.
No matter what the occasion, an FTD coupon awaits with its gift-giving discounts. If you need to make a romantic gesture, the website's selection ranges from simple three-rose displays to extravagant arrangements such as a vase of roses with 5-foot stems. Moreover, FTD has formed partnerships with branded goods such as Vera Wang-designed flowers, Mrs. Fields cookies, Godiva chocolates, and Starbucks coffee.
Know someone who would appreciate a bouquet of flowers at their doorstep or office? Then nab an FTD coupon from Groupon and save some money on your good deed.

APNewsBreak: Number of US farmers markets surges
The USDA has worked to make the markets accessible to people of all income levels by outfitting more with the ability to accept payments from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps. More than $4 million is being made available to equip markets with wireless point-of-sale equipment.
California, the country's top agricultural producing state, has 827 markets, according to the USDA. New York has 647, more than double the next most prolific state, Massachusetts, which has 313.
The mid-Atlantic, Northeast and Southeast saw the biggest percentage growth in markets, reporting 15.8, 14.4 and 13.1 percent jumps in participation.
The USDA website lists farmers markets with links to their websites. It also allows users to search by zip code, to make finding nearby markets easier: http://search.ams.usda.gov/farmersmarkets/

BOISE -- Two men are in custody after an overnight police chase with a stolen cab.
Twenty-year-old Dustin Meuser and 25-year-old Justin Cosner both face multiple charges including armed robbery and grand theft. Meuser also faces five counts of aggravated assault on an officer.
Boise Police say a Boise City Taxi driver picked up two men around 11:30 p.m. at a business on North Milwaukee Street. That's when the two men pulled a gun on him and told him to drive to Kuna. That's where they dropped him off before stealing his wallet and taxi. The cab driver alerted police of the robbery at 11:50 p.m.
The stolen taxi cab has a GPS and around 12:15 a.m. police spotted the stolen taxi in downtown Boise, but the driver wouldn't stop. Police say he rammed several police cars as the cab headed south on 9th Street. They say the cab hit two patrol cars head-on and backed into a third.
It was bumper cars going south on Ninth Street with the suspects vehicle purposely ramming those patrol cars, said Boise Police spokesperson Lynn Hightower.
Scott McCurdy with Boise City Taxi says he spoke to his driver Thursday morning about what happened.
We were both in tears actually in my office, the poor man is scared to death, but physically he's going to be okay, said McCurdy. They took him on a ride, 40 minutes - he estimated half hour to 40 minutes, put him in the backseat, put a hoodie over his head, held him at gunpoint, put him in a ditch me to kneel down and say his prayers.
In all, they say four patrol cars were damaged before the stolen cab was boxed and stopped on South Capitol Boulevard near the Boise Depot at 12:20 a.m. No officers were injured, but police say Meuser was injured enough to go to the hospital. He was treated and released.
This comes just one day after an ABC taxi was reported stolen at gunpoint. Boise Police say Meuser and Cosner have been identified as the suspects in that case.
Police say the investigation is ongoing.
A check by KTVB found that both men have criminal histories.
We reported in 2009 that Cosner was arrested in Ada County and charged with attempted murder for stabbing his roommate. He later struck a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated battery. For that crime he spent three years in prison. Correction officials say Cosner was released on Nov. 7, 2013.
We found out that Meuser was a suspect in a case out of Kuna. Two men, including Meuser, were accused of stealing at least seven firearms from a Kuna home in November of 2012. The guns were later found in the Kuna Caves. According to court records, Meuser spent time in jail and was put on probation for 10 years for burglary and ordered to pay restitution.
Meuser was in court Thursday afternoon where he faced nearly a dozen felony charges for overnight incident. His bond was set at $1 million.

Edwards donor says he told Obama camp about affair
Toben was also asked in front of jurors about a sex tape that showed Edwards and Hunter. The tape was found by the former candidate's key aide, Andrew Young, who helped Hunter stay out of the public eye. Toben was Young's friend and neighbor.
Asked by Edwards' defense lawyers about the "personal and private video," Toben admitted he had jokingly talked to Young about how much the sex tape might be worth. The defense lawyers produced a 2009 email from Toben to Young that said: "Wonder what that tape is worth today?"
Young is now a key witness for prosecutors, and Edwards' lawyers have tried to portray him as greedy and dishonest. Young and his wife have testified that they had no intention of selling the tape but kept it as proof of the affair.
Confronted with email exchanges with Young from 2009, Toben admitted he had called Edwards unflattering and occasionally profane names, but denied he carried any hostility against the politician he once considered a friend.
"I thought he betrayed the trust of the people he spoke for," Toben said, referring to the poverty-stricken Americans whom Edwards sought to represent through philanthropic foundations.

PUNXSUTAWNEY —
The physical crowd may have appeared a bit smaller for Groundhog Day this year, but millions of people elsewhere logged on to the Groundhog Club's Web site — Groundhog.org — to check out Punxsy Phil and happenings around town.
Jeff Grube, the Inner Circle's "Sky Painter" who monitors the site's activity, said the site has about 900,000 individuals visitors, as well as 2.5 million page views. During only Feb. 1 and 2, the hits numbered 895,000.
"We saw a big increase," he said. "We've seen double about every year on the Web site."
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsy girls' basketball team had more turnovers than points during a 41-24 loss to Elk County Catholic Monday night in the second game between the two teams in four days.
Punxsy (4-13, 1-6 District IX League) committed 30 turnovers, which led to the Lady Chucks scoring an average of six points per quarter. The Lady Crusaders (15-4, 5-2) turned all the miscues into points on Punxsy's end, as they handed the Lady Chucks their second loss in four days after beating Punxsy Friday in St. Marys by a similar score, 38-24.
DUBOIS— The District IX Class AA Team Championship wrestling tournament Saturday at DuBois High School didn't end how top seeded Brookville pictured it would before the season started.
The Raiders had to stand and watch, as another team celebrated being champions.
Brookville lost to second seeded Ridgway 32-29 in the championship match, a team the Raiders beat 42-24 Jan. 29.
Brookville coach Dave Klepfer was disappointed that his team hadn't accomplished one of their biggest goals.
Elmer L. Hughes, 88, Westover, passed away Friday, Feb. 4, 2011, at Clearfield Hospital.
Mr. Hughes was born Sept. 5, 1922. in La Jose, a son of the late Bert J. Hughes and Willimina (Young) Hughes.
He married Beverly June (Cullen) Hughes, May 12, 1951, who survives.
He was a member of the East Ridge United Methodist Church, the Harmony Grange # 1201, Coalport Lodge # 574 and F.A.M. 33rd Degree.
Martha Irene (Zimmerman) Rehar, 78, Punxsutawney, died Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011, at Christ the King Manor, DuBois.
Mrs. Zimmerman was born May 3, 1932, in Henderson Township, a daughter of Walter and Ada (Weber) Zimmerman, who preceded her in death.
Feb. 16,1963, she married Luttie W. Rehar, who survives.
Mrs. Rehar was a graduate of Big Run High School, class of 1950. She was a member of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish and the Rosary Society in Sykesville.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsy boys' basketball team's 24-point fourth quarter and spirited comeback weren't enough to hand one of the best Class A teams in the state its fourth loss this season Friday night.
The Chucks (7-10, 1-6 District IX League) trimmed Elk County Catholic's 41-28 lead through three quarters to 51-49 with 33 seconds left, but clutch free throws and offensive rebounds carried the Crusaders to a 54-52 victory.
ST. MARYS — The Punxsy girls' basketball team scored just two points during the first quarter of a game that lacked offense Friday night during a 38-24 loss to Elk County Catholic.
Punxsy (4-12, 1-5 District IX League), which trailed 35-18 entering the final quarter, has now lost eight of its last 10 games.
Punxsy quickly fell behind 13-2 after the first quarter and were constantly playing from behind.
"We didn't shoot the ball real well and didn't rebound," Punxsy head coach Randy Reitz said. "We need to do a better job of playing a complete game."

Thread: Andrew's sketchbook
April 13th, 2012 #31
As I promised! Here are some sketching and studies of the head. Funny about it is that I've been reading "Fun with a pencil" by Andrew Loomis, which is actually A WHOLE LOT OF JOY to keep going through!

For those who enjoy following me til this very page, I want at first to thank you for your attention! I really appreciate that! Aaand second, I got NEWS for ya. Yes...children, I've been given the most marvelous present a man can get from another bro: A sketchbook. Just CHECK it, we all know you want it too! It's ok, it's ok!
Simple, kinda minimalist, thick white pages and holding a lot of potential fun out of it:
So I've been drawings skulls and even started some lines into a one point perspective village! Huull
April 29th, 2012 #33
o0O0oo new sketchbook, those are the funnest . Well, I like page 3 or so. the first page seems like it needs to be awesome, cuz it's the first. but 3-4 pages in it's gravy lol.
Nice to see you powering out some skulls, do you have reference or are they from your head? Some of the proportions are a little shaky, but it's all good learning. ^_^
happy sketching
May 1st, 2012 #34
Hey Rhubix, all of em are from imagination!
Here's a new portrait using some fast strokes and what-not. And also my further exploration of that perspective study. Ending this post with 30 spell icons made for Phobos.

I made that for a friend of mine. This drawing was made based on a pic she took with her dad when she made it through a public contest... They're both at joy and unfortunately her dad suffered an accident and died few years from now. Last year was her first year without her dad and I made this drawing for her on "Father's day", which she loved cuz according to her, it sorta felt like a new photography. So it was a successful present...

Cool progress! Especially the portraits have gone leaping forward. I'd love to see more anatomy practises and also whole figures. The class chart is wonderful.

Thank you, Mindinart! I'm sure will come up with new figure drawings soon enough since... I'm totally and absolutely in love with storyboarding! And here are a few squares!

Dear Sketchbook,
Long time no see, eh? Woo!! 2013...Great promises on this year. First of all it seems we're finally getting things to click. I'm pretty damn excited about our game. Specially cause I'm up to defend my thesis on Drug design next month! (You know I'm a biologist and also work with molecular modeling - just like a pharmacist would, right?)...What I mean by that is that I'll get plenty much more time to dedicate myself to REAL GAME ART!
As a concept artist, I'm currently doing a few things?! Latest bit of art I took my pen upon was some spell buttons for Inconcessus 3D animations. Cool minutes of digital painting! Hehe kinda pumped me to this talk I got with Tim on skype. Now a lot of new concepts and sprites are secretly being done by us. My last shot was a creature... a really fun drawing? Not something really presentable to our community as a final art. But it was really fun to sketch that, so I'm pinning this on this page of yours, hope you enjoy a lil bit of cool colors .
Nice to check you again. I'll try to keep in touch, the best I can.

Hey everyone! This was a value study of the female face that took me 45 minutes to paint. I'm particularly proud of this last piece because I took reference of from a picture of a girl I was hanging out back on 2012. Andre = Awesome sauce! I'll keep sure to post more regularly than before, kids. Specially since I'm officially studying art theory as a freak now.

Another look back to the dawn village
After a marvelous lecture from Richards Keyes on the subject of Color Theory and The mechanics of color, I've made little changes in my values mostly trying to establish a better color through complementary harmony making use from the contrast between yellow-orange and blue-violet colors.
This illustration was actually made for Myth Entertainment prime product - Phobos, coming out on May. The picture you see down here is a snapshot of the currently ongoing website of the game. ^^ The whole concept was created to be perceived as a children book of tales and stories since the game is supposed to be load of a historical, well-written fantasy lore. I guess I would change the pose of the human down there to something more dynamic, tho I'm not yet sure if that would sum much to the composition itself. Feel free to share any thoughts on that, friends. Keep on painting!

Hail Dr. Manhattan
This is it, I'm finishing my PhD project right now and, while putting it together, I thought it would be a nice stress-reliving move to draw my advisor - Professor P. Sathler, as Dr. Manhattan. So here is it! Haha, it does have been a lot of fun. ;D
February 4th, 2013 #51
Few sketches!
Gotta spend more time on those! No single reference and pretty fair forms and shapes right now. I'm glad... thank you sketchbook.

Ball lighting
Being thinking a lot about values lately. So most-likely, my following posts will cover some of my long-road of studies on lighting, color theory and other stuff, before I go back to forms with an updated vision regarding it... Seems like a good strategy, uh? Maybe a peculiar one tho, since many of you out there may say that its better to learn a form and THEN shade/highlight it. Dunno really, but so far I'm going against it, yo!

yo dude, one thing is about construction, your drawings lacks of volume in itself, learning values at this stage won't make your paintings better ! you will just put good values on a bad drawing, which will still make your painting bad !! simples equations are : bad drawing + good values/colors = bad painting ! Great drawing + good values/colors = really good painting ! great drawing + great values/colors = asskiller painting !! that was my 2 cents, hope it helps ! Keep it up, and cheers !!

Hey, Andrew, it's great that you came back after a gap between 2012 and now. Never too late to start back up again. I agree with the above comment; sometimes your construction/perspective gets away from you and needs to be addressed. Unfortunately this will affect how your art turns out, because as kindaface mentioned, the ability to draw solidly is your foundation for everything you will do. How convincingly can you draw a box? Just a simple box, at multiple angles and perspective setups. The moment you master the box, you master 3D space. But it's not an easy feat. I challenge you to a box off! Let's see some box studies from you and (if I'm so bold to do so) I'll give you what advice I can on how to improve your constructions. All up to you, of course. Either way, I'll be back to check out your updates, as long as you keep'em coming.

That was the greatest exercise ever given! Haha
Been doing boxes for all over a week now. Many of em are in my paper sketchbook which I will try to scan. But since I was urging for comments, I just took a picture of em to give you a rough idea of what's going on so far. Thank you ALL for helping me by pointing things out, guys. I really appreciate your time and effort upon this thread. Gotta make you happy by trying to reply in the same level of investment. ^^
Just tell me: This sums up what you are expecting for box studies? Note I'm using perspective grids for them too, beside the examples below.

That was my entry for the Character of the Week - CHoW#361 challenge. We were supposed to design a Sci-Fi Mad Hatter. Initially I went to a steam-punk sorta thing...but was told it was a complete different thing. Guess I played it safe! Hehehe! Still an awesome challenge to transform such a victorian charater into a Sci-fi one without losing its personality! I thank Havoc Reed for such a great oportunity to push my creativity! I promise I'll give it more of me next time!

As you may have heard, Summer Hayes' The My Little Pony 2009-2012 Collector's Inventory is coming out July 6th, 2013. The My Little Pony Fair and Convention will serve as the book launch party and, if you'll be there, you'll be able to not only buy a copy but also get her to sign it for you too. Pretty nifty, huh?
If you, like me, will be missing out on the MLP fun this upcoming weekend, I have good news! While the book won't be available in most bookstores until after the launch, Amazon has it up for pre-order and has been shipping pre-orders immediately instead of making you wait for the official release date. So, if you order your copy right now from Amazon, you can have it before most bookstores even have the book in stock.
But this offer is about to get at least 20% cooler! Amazon is offering an early bird discount of 35% off the retail price! So, not only will you get your copy before anyone else, you'll get it for less than the wholesale cost retailers pay. Even Priced Nostalgia Press itself can't sell the book for that low so an offer this good won't come around again.
Knowing Amazon, this price can change at any time so make sure you act quickly if you don't want to miss out. You can get your copy from Amazon here.
At the 2008 My Little Pony Fair, some of the MLP team were kind enough to talk to us about some of the details that go into making any MLP toy a reality. At the time, collectors were concerned why some G3 ponies had changed names between waves of the toys and the discussion of this lead to some interesting insights into how My Little Pony toys get their names. I'm going to try to recap this info as best as I can but someone may have a video of this discussion up on YouTube somewhere if you want the whole thing from the source. Continue reading How My Little Pony toys are named & how Hasbro snuck the name Waterfire in under the radar
A few weeks ago, we had a contest that centered around identifying the ponies in this page from the 2010 Cute Overload Page-A-Day calendar.
Well, in one of those, the internet is wonderful moments, I was contacted by the culprit behind the cute that you see above! Turns out, the photo above was taken by one of our own, namely Ianthe99 (aka Amber) of the MLPTP. I asked her if she'd be willing to give us a little "behind the scenes" info about both the photo and how it ended up in the calendar and she was kind enough to agree.
AND, because she's extra awesome, she also gave us a few more pictures from that same day which you can see after the interview below. Continue reading Behind the scenes of the My Little Pony Cute Overload calendar picture
We haven't had a contest in a while and that makes me sad. Let's remedy that, shall we?
Below, you'll find a page from last year's Cute Overload calendar that I've been saving for this very purpose. Though it's a bit of a challenge, you can actually identify at least four* of the ponies in the photo and one accessory. In fact, that's what I'm going to ask you to do.
Take a careful look at the photo below (click to make it larger).
Then answer the following questions in the form below:
Hint: This is much, much easier to do if you have Summer Hayes' G3 books.
>>>>> Sorry, this contest is over. <<<<<
The winner will be getting this:
A mint in box 2010 San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) exclusive pony. Even if you already have one, a handy and desirable pony for trade or resale.
*Don't post your answers in the comments!* Resist the urge! It will only make it harder for you to win. I'll post the answers once the contest is over and you can be as smug and as "I totally knew that" as you want then. Only submissions sent via the form will be accepted. (I've disabled normal comments but I can't disable Facebook comments.)
*=If you're really good, you can also ID the red pony in the dark behind the kitty's ear. I didn't think it was fair to include her in the contest because she's really hard to see. As for the white pony, there are several ponies she *could* be but the color is too hard to make-out to be able to be sure. So neither of them are included in this contest.
Any questions? Let us know. In the meantime, I wish you luck! I'll give a shout out to everyone who gets all five correct so you'll get bragging rights either way!

Crappy thin, fine hair. What products do you use?(47 Posts)
That's it in the title really.
My children have ruined my hair, it's fine, falling out and thinning rapidly. There is new hair growth around my hairline so maybe there's some hope!
I'm hopeless at styling my hair and I need help please.
Is it worth buying the fabled Babyliss big hair?
What products do you use to boof things up a bit?
Thank you, style gurus
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I've got fine hair (but lots of it) - colour eg highlights give it body.
Also Redken Spray Wax (the buggers have changed packaging so name may be different) is great for volume and hold.
I also swear by a mousse L'Oreal Pofessionelle Tecni Art Volume Spray Mousse - the beauty of this is you can spray it exactly where you need it.
BBH is great too.
I'd also say unless your hair needs it don't go for conditioners that weigh it down.
Well I've always complained that my hair is too thick, but don't worry, I'm not just here to gloat. I'm here for a reason....
My gf has got really fine hair and I know it's really getting her down. She also hates going to the hairdressers and having them point out that her hair is really thin. It's like thanks for pointing out the obvious! Anyway, was thinking about buying her the BBH for Christmas, but I'm reluctant for two reasons. 1. Because I'm worried I'll just offend her and 2. her main problem area is her scalp, as in, it's quite visible now. So not sure if a super hairdryer could fix this. Does it help with that?
She's not had any children and is only in her mid twenties. I think it was initially stress related. I've seen pictures when she was younger and her hair was really full and quite thick. Unfortunately, since all the stress happened, it never went back to normal.
I really want to be able to help her if I can. She's very much a just deal with
It and get on with things, but I don't think she realises that there are things out there that could help her a bit.
Get your hair cut every six weeks. The good thing about fine hair is how sharp a good cut looks.
I use mousse, volumising power and dry shampoo.
Has anyone tried Moroccan hair oil volumising mousse? Am tempted to get some but don't want to waste my money I thought it might be a softer texture than most mousse.
Marking place so I can read all the very useful comments as I have the exact same problem as hairdresser is very reluctant to cut it short as I have such poor hair growth at the front after dc
Yep I have fine, thin (but shiny) hair too.
*Yes to haircut: just had about 2-3 inches of mine cut so it's barely skiffing my shoulders now, and looks a lot better volume-wise. I also had 'separated layers' put in which help add a smidge of width.
*i am lazy but when I do actually dry my hair I use bumble and bumble volumising spray.
*haha yes dry powder does feel like shit but I had some put in my hair at the hairdresser the last time I had an updo done and my hair looked SOOO thick! (There was a bit of backcombing too though!)
Another vote for no conditioner most of the time as a good shampoo should be enough (but I do have quite short hair).
I find sea salt spray the best thing for volume and the Lee Stafford one is the best brand I've tried so far. I put it in before and after drying - but it's not for the days you want someone to run their hands through your hair and tell you how smooth and soft it is!
A little bit of occasional backcombing helps on really flat hair days, together with those volumising powders already mentioned.
I've got really fine, thin hair too. I find mousse helps but having seen the recommendations from some of you ladies I've just watched the babyliss big hair tutorial on you tube and it looks amazing! I know what's on my Christmas list now
Shorter and layers is the way forward with fine hair - anything too long and it starts looking like a limp helmet
I like the L'Oreal Ever Riche for fine hair which is essentially the same as one of the Kerastase lines. And one of the serums, any will do - John Frieda Frizz-Ease is still great, Morrocan Oil - they all have much the same ingredients ie silicones and are great for frizz.
I have dyed blonde poker straight hair just about shoulder length, its over processed and very very fine and thin. It looked ok when it was just washed, just limp looking, but after about an hour it goes really really frizzy. I would really thank you for any help with this as it feels really pointless trying anything with it any more, apart from tying it up. Getting desperate for help .
Hello all and thank God for finding a forum like this .
I have always had fine thin straggly hair ..in fact I do remember when I was a little feeling very grand when my mothers friend made the comment for the first time.."My hasn't she got fine hair" Little did I know what an absolute bane that damn thing would be .I am a little old for the forum having completed the menopause a few years ago but I'm hoping for any tips to help not only thin..but thinning hair that just about covers my head if I don't stand i the wind ...cheers
I have been reading this thread with great interest. Lots of good tips..
Sorry to hijack the thread but any advice for limp, heavy, but fine hair after water softener been re-installed after new extension finished. I was using Kerastase Bain No 1 (in pink bottle) but no longer working. Tried a different shampoo today but same problem, anyone had a similar issue?
I do wash my hair every day and blow dry it but try to let it dry naturally before styling it. Oh and short bob under ears so not a lot of hair!!!
Any ideas how I can fix it as I am feeling horrible?? Thanks
Another vote for, first geting a good short cut, then using Kerastase Volumactive shampoo.
I also use L'oreal Tec Ni Art spray mousse before drying it, and sometimes a bit of product from one of the L'Oreal Playballs afterwards to break up/ give texture- I like the ones with bright pink and blue tops, but a good hairdresser will advise.
My hair is very fine, though not thin.
I wouldn't go to the hairdresser because my hair is fine & thin, and I hate a) sitting under the lights and seeing my scalp shining away and b) having the hairdresser comment on the thinness.
So I hadn't had a haircut in 9 months. My hair grows like a weed and it was verrrry long and straggly. Eventually last weekend I snapped and had a layered collarbone length cut done. It looks 10 times thicker because the top layers are not weighed down and bounce up a bit.
I also changed my parting to off-centre and bought a mousse.
I look much younger and feel so much better
I'm in the same boat after three children. I think blow-drying is key (get a really powerful, really hot one and a big, round brush) and also keeping it as short as possible. I don't know what your diet is like but I went vegetarian a few years ago and after a few months I started losing clumps of hair (despite being really conscientious about getting all the correct nutrients). I scrapped that and started focussing on more protein and iron (eggs for breakfast and making sure to eat red meat once a week etc.) and my hair is now much better. Highlights can also help make hair look thicker.
sorry meant to say Headmasters smells really nice and are available at Tesco. Samy Fat Hair is in Superdrug.
Headmasters Big Glam Hair, shampoo, conditioner, thickening styling cream and hairspray are good and smell OR.
Samy Fat Hair, shampoo, conditioner, thickening styling cream, hairspray etc..
this one is truly amazing for big big hair but it does tend to look a little dull and can go tooo big. I have a below ear length layered bob and have had fine hair all my life and find fat hair brill and headmasters next .
Use very little conditioner, or none.
Wear your hair as short as you feel comfortable.
Wait until your hair is nearly dry before blow-drying - the natural drying puts some volume in.
Use a small amount of product at the roots and blow dry upside down.
Batiste Dry Shampoo extra volume version is amazing, although it makes your hair much less shiny.
Take heart - I was amazed once when a colleague with thick, wavy hair said she was envious of my 'glossy hair'.!
This has worked really well for me. This is what my French hairdresser recommended to me: Klorane shampoo http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klorane-Quinine-B6-Shampoo-200ml/dp/B001LFJMGG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1354199991&sr=8-3 and serum http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klorane-Anti-Hair-Strengthening-Serum-125ml/dp/B0075PXD0W/ref=sr_1_22?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1354200163&sr=1-22.
There are so many products, some nicer than others - e.g., I can't stand the powder.
I had some PR shots taken yesterday and I didn't have much time to prepare and as a result my hair looks flat and awful. Shiny yes, swishy yes. Stuck to my scalp yes.
I just cba to blow-dry daily with big products although as a concession I'm going out tonight and will use heated rollers to get some lift. I think it's time to bite the bullet and get it all shorn off again.
Also a big Yes to highlights, they have had more effect than anything that I have ever actually put on top of my hair.
Wouldn't be without the BBH for smoothing and introducing volume, although sometimes it takes ages to remove from accidental volume from unwanted bits!
Lee Stafford's I Hate my Hair the Day it's washed gives you a finish which is stylable but not sticky. You either love it or hate it, I think. My hair stays where I want it but not in a crunchy way.
Anything other than Sebastian light conditioner leaves my hair weighed down and lank. I can really tell the difference when I have used things like Aussie conditioner....I only use the Aussie shampoo.
BBH is nice for styling but doesn't add a huge amount of volume in my experience. Heated rollers are the best - and don't have to be hugely time consuming. Simply bung them in for 10 mins while you have breakfast / do your makeup. Sali Hughes has some great advice on how to use:
Wella shampoos in red packaging are cheap and the best for fine hair. They have won many awards.
Many conditioners are too heavy/ oily - try going without.
Yy to drying upside down and then styling.

G.K. Nair
Kochi, Aug 25
CARDAMOM prices continued to rule steady with marginal fluctuations at the auctions in Kerala and Tamil Nadu during the week.
Heavy arrivals seem to have stopped the prices from moving up despite good buying support, market sources at Bodinayakannur and Kumily told Business Line on Thursday.
During the (official) current season from August 1 to 24, the total arrivals stood at 588 tonnes as against 141 tonnes in the same period last season. Total sales in the current season were at 568 tonnes.
Due to selling pressure the weighted average price this season is Rs 239.57 a kg as against Rs 364.98 last year.
The growers, mainly the small and medium ones, who cannot hold the stock are selling. Besides, there are apprehensions that the prices might decline because of the good crop this year, they said.
The price of graded varieties on August 20 were AGEB Rs 335-Rs 345, AGB Rs 230-Rs 240, AGS Rs 220-Rs 230 and AGS 1 Rs 210-Rs 220 a kg.
Traders were very active and "it reflects that the North Indian markets have opened up," Mr P.C. Punnoose, General Manager, Cardamom Processing and Marketing Company (CPMC), Kumily said.
However, export buying was less, probably because of non-availability of bold varieties, he said. Arrival of these varieties has yet to pick up, he said. Only 180 Kg of 8mm bold arrived at Kumily auction on Wednesday and it was sold at Rs 434 a Kg.
He said CPMC would be sending a delegation to the Gulf countries after the Onam festival next month for sales promotion. The Arab world is the major market for cardamom, with Saudi Arabia topping the list because of its use in coffee and many foods. In fact, around 70 per cent of the world production is absorbed by these markets.
The favourable weather conditions prevailing in the cardamom growing tracts would result in a good crop this year. As the fate of the crop solely depends on the vagaries of weather, the sudden withdrawal of the southwest monsoon from the cardamom growing areas followed by the dry spell has become a cause for concern, they said.

I am considering a breast reduction. I have breasts that are FF! I am only 23, 5 ft 2, and I weigh about 135 pounds. I have tried to loose weight, but my breast stay large. I have always been self conscious about the way my body looks and would love to have a reduction, but I don't want the ugly scars. Is there any way to have a reduction without large scars? Another concern is my breasts are slightly starting to sag. If I were to leave them this size could they be lifted without scarring?
Breast Reduction Scars - How to Avoid Scarring?
Doctor Answers 60
Breast Reduction / Breast Lift
Dear jlikes03,
The procedure for Reduction/Lifting of the breasts will vary with what you would like to achieve. Some visible scars will result but these can be minimzed with proper surgical approach and pos operative care.
Adjunctive treatments with IPL can speed up the reduction of red color of the scar.
We use long acting freezing in the tissue which minimizes/eliminates post operative discomfort.
With Kind Regards, TMB.
Have a question? Ask a doctor
You will have some scars.
Hi! I bet you would be happier with a breast reduction. We now can do it with less scarring. You would need a "lollypop" scar. The scars do fade a lot but they don't disappear.
I can tell you that women worry a lot about the scars before surgery, but after surgery, I hardly ever hear about them. They are there alright, but the patient is happy anyway because she feels she made a good trade-off.
The answer for you is "NO."
The answer for you is "NO," but there are many things that can be done to minimize the scars. From your question, you are interested in reducing the size of your breasts as well as having them with no "sag." You can reduce the breasts with Liposuction using only very small scars. The trade, however, is that the breasts will sag in proportion to how much you reduce the breast. To reduce the breast and set it up a minimum of a scar around the areola and one either from the areola to the chest or one under the breast is required. This is less than what we used to do. Other modifications in closure technique (such as using a "dermal bra" and sutures that remain in buried place until adequate scar has developed) can also improve the scars. The only way to decide what to do is to talk with an experienced Plastic Surgeon who has several methods at his/her disposal to achieve what you desire.

Avoiding Scars with Breast Reduction
You have my sympathies in trying to cope with such large breasts. You must be quite uncomfortable, both physically and emotionally.
The good news is that you do have options to alleviate the problems your experiencing. Breast reduction can be quite powerful in relieving symptoms and improving self-image.
Other than weight loss, there are some very new techniques of fat reduction that use freezing or ultrasound. Their efficacy has not yet been reported in our leading and respected journals. I am not aware of their application to breast reduction; it is possible that these non-surgical techniques may apply to breast reduction, in the future; I can't recommend them, at this time.
Liposuction would require 2 or more ~1/4-inch incisions in the breast creases and/or armpits
Liposuction and non-surgical techniques do not address shaping or lift. They will deflate the breast to reduce size.
As large as you are, the deflation may leave enough sagging that you might really want the lift, which leaves you with the scar you are trying to avoid.
Breast reduction without large scars
Your research will probably lead you discussion of "scar-less" or "minimal scar" surgery. For years US and international surgeons have trying to develop ways to give patients superior results with little scaring. Alternatives such as liposuction of fat, leaving glandular tissue and skin have been tried.
National surveys and informal polls at national meetings confirm that the majority of surgeons feel that short scar techniques (lollipop or vertical plus areolar edge) are suitable for smaller amounts of reduction and lift (mastopexy, without reduction of size), and that larger scar techniques (inverted-T or Wise pattern) are best when reducing many cup sizes of lifting many inches. My practice generally conforms to this pattern.
I do believe that heavier breasts can sag more over time, although that is not always the case. I doubt that you will have long-lasting success leaving them large and lifting them. If you had a lift (without reducing the size) gravity will continue to work on them.
Scars certainly look prominent in photographs, particularly the more recent ones. We show patients many Before & After photos during their consultation and they decide if they will be more comfortable with scars and improved breast & body contour, or if scars are unacceptable. Meet with several experienced plastic surgeons, and look at their photos before you make your decision.
Miricles can happen-
But a breast reduction, especially to reduce you will leave scars. See more than one plastic surgeon, but you will at least have a scar around your nipple, down to the infra-mammary line and usually under the breast.
Although these scars are permanent, breast reduction patients are usually quite happy after surgery, in spite of their scars.
Reducing Breast Reduction Scars
Scar Management tips:
- Minimize tension on the scar. Embrace scar dressing is the best as it lessens tension directly on the wound. Steri-Strips and/or surgical tape are often placed in non-hair bearing areas to minimize tension and keep pressure over the scar. This minimizes the stress that can pull the scar apart (dehiscence) creating a wound and delaying healing time, and can make the scar wider, or more "ropy".
- Keep your incision site/scar clean to prevent infection. Follow your surgeon's wound care instructions to the letter with out modification. Never apply different products then recommended without first discussing them with your surgeon. This is especially important during the first few weeks. If there are any signs of infection, contact your surgeon's office right away and/or see your doctor or his nurse immediately. Typical signs of infection may include redness outside the immediate incision site, asymmetric swelling, and drainage, of pus, fever, chills, and "feeling sick".
- Protect your scars from the sun. Staying out of the sun is the best advice. Minimal exposure to sunlight is prevents hyperpigmentation (permanently turning brown) and other problems that can make the scar more noticeable. Sunscreen, at least 30 SPF and an overlying make camouflage make up additionally protects the scar from the suns harmful rays. This advice is especially important the first year following your surgery.
- Use specific scar maturation products recommended by your surgeon. Patients seem to have their own opinions on this touting everything from Pure Vit E, Coco butter, to Aloe Vera, etc but most have minimal benefit other than keeping the scar hydrated. Although hydration is important there are better, scientifically studied products with greater efficacy. Most of the scientific articles written about this subject indicate that topical silicone gel or silicone sheets work the best. There are a lot of products to choose from, but silicone should be one of the key ingredients. Although Mederma, an onion extract derivative active ingredient rather than mainly silicone based may help, primarily silicone based products are better and many also contain other ingredients that may be synergistic (hydrocortisone or other steroid, Vitamin E, Sunscreen,etc). At the present time I prefer BioCorneum or Kelo-Cote products especially on areas that silicone strips aren't applicable, for example, on the face. If the reader has problems obtaining these they can call my office. Patient compliance is also critical – use often and according to directions or it will not work optimally. NEVER apply products without first discussing them with your surgeon.
- Monitor to make sure your scar is progressing optimally. Keep your scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to verify that your scars are maturing as expected. Occasionally if indicated you may need a topical steroid preparation or even a series of injections (5-FU and/or Steroids) or laser treatments to treat or prevent scar hypertrophy or keloid formation (red raised scars), or other topical medicines to treat post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (brown scars) with prescription creams and possible laser treatments.

Breast reduction without scars
As a double F who is 23 yrs. old with short stature, a reduction/lift would seem to be in order to restore the balence, equiliibrium and harmony of your upper torso to prevent the negative sequellae which are sure to come.
A reduction of this magnitude cannot be done without scars. SCAR IS THE BODY'S GLUE, AND THERE CAN BE NO HEALING WITHOUT IT. Once they have done their job, scars can be managed with: patience, pressure and medications.
This is the trade off that you will have to make, and in my experience over 35yrs., patients have considered it well worth it.
Breast reductions have options
The two main components of breast reduction is size and shape. If you are only concerned about size/weight, then you can remove fat or even the gland through small incision. But you could shape the breast very well if you have excess skin. The more shaping you desire or need, the more scars you will need. There are a few options using scars that are less than the traditional inverted-T or anchor scars. There may be some compromise in ability to shape. You need to sit down with an experienced plastic surgeon and carefully go over the options. I have rarely had to use the traditional incisions and usually can use these shorted scar technique and occasionally just liposuction. Cosmetic sugery often requires trade-offs that differ between individual patients.
Breast reduction is often possible with shorter scars
Most often in our practice we use a short scar technique in breast reduction and this procedure may work well for your breast reduction. With breast reduction a scar line will be necessary around the nipple. This allows some adjustment of the size of the areola if needed and a lift of the nipple higher up on the breast. After reducing the breast the excess skin is trimmed vertically down to the fold under the breast, what my patients call a "lollipop" scar. The short scar reduction prevents the anchor scar which extends onto the chest or cleavage area, and the scar out on the side of the breast and chest.
Even with an F cup size the short scar reduction may be right for you. Younger patients with better skin elasticity and less droop to the breast particulary do well with this technique.
Another advantage of short scar reduction is the more rapid recovery, usually about a week, and the ability to complete breast reduction without a hospital stay. All of our patients go home from the office or the surgical facility the same day.
Of course your personal healing and skin type will determine the eventual scar quality but we believe less is more.
Best of luck,

Mumbai: It's not a good news for all Ajay Devgn's diehard fans though, yet, truth cannot be refuted. Reportedly, the Competition Commission of India has rejected Devgns legal complaint alleging abuse of dominant position by Yash Raj Films.
A senior official of the CCI informed a leading daily that the complaint has been rejected "as there was no merit in it." In fact, according to CCI, Devgn's complaint does not fall under any area that violates Competition rules.
On the other hand, Shahrukh Khan finds the ongoing controversy regarding the number of screens alloted for the release of his film Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardar is "silly and strange". Khan feels that if the makers of Son of Sardar had an issue with the number of theatres, then they could have released the film a week ago.

text: 000 FXUS63 KLSX 262105 AFDLSX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 405 PM CDT Tue May 26 2015 .SHORT TERM: (Through Late Tonight) Issued at 400 PM CDT Tue May 26 2015 The primary forecast issue for tonight is convective trends. A nearly stacked low pressure system will continue progressing northeastward towards the Great Lakes tonight, trailing a weak cold front in its wake. This front will edge into northern MO overnight before stalling across the region tomorrow. Most models depict a couple of vorticity maxima rotating into the back side of the lifting shortwave trough tonight, and the strongest of these features will provide large-scale ascent across the northern part of the CWA between 06-12z. Increasing H7-H5 lapse rates spreading across the region will contribute to instability. There are also some hints of a H25 jet streak developing across parts of MO which places the northern CWA beneath the favorable LER. None of these features by itself looks particularly strong, but taken together they support a chance of SH/TS accompanying the cold front as it sinks slowly southward overnight. One area of uncertainty for tonight is that some models also develop a southern branch of the LLJ pointed into southwestern MO by 06z. The models which show a stronger LLJ appear to be developing it as a response to a vort max lifting out of the southern plains, but it`s not clear whether that vort max exists in the real atmosphere. On the other hand, a small thunderstorm complex recently developed over south-central OK, which is approximately where that feature ought to be if it does exist. Whether it`s an actual shortwave or just a remnant MCV, it could provide support for SH/TS given the greater MUCAPE and better lapse rates which are forecast to be in place over the southern part of the CWA. Kanofsky .LONG TERM: (Wednesday through Next Tuesday) Issued at 400 PM CDT Tue May 26 2015 In general, short range models are suggesting AMS over the central CONUS will remain rather unsettled into the end of this week. It appears that vorticity maxima/shortwaves rotating around the upper low overnight tonight will exit our area on Wednesday, with shortwave ridging in the wake of these features advecting into the mid-Mississippi Valley by Wednesday night. At this point, not exactly sure how to handle convective trends on Wednesday; certainly, primary threat during the morning will be tied to movement of predawn convection across the CWA. For the afternoon hours AMS is forecast to destabilize, but aforementioned shortwave energy will have exited the FA by that time which may tend to inhibit coverage of any redevelopment, and convergence along the weak cold front will be rather feeble. I`ve continued some mention of convection over most of the CWA during the afternoon, with this threat diminishing and sinking south Wednesday night with the front, and as upper level ridge builds into the area. From Thursday into the weekend, southwest flow will dominate the UA pattern over the central CONUS, with a series of shortwaves forecast to eject into our area from the longwave trof over the western U.S. Initially on Thursday, threat will remain in the chance category as large scale lift is weak and moisture return is still somewhat limited. However, likely PoPs should overspread the region Friday-Saturday as there is model consensus that a fairly robust shortwave and associated cold front will be impacting the region at this time. Lesser shower and thunderstorm chances will linger into the start of the new week as weak ripples continue to propagate through the area. Temperatures will remain a bit above average through Friday, then cool off over the weekend as the colder air works its way into the mid-Mississippi Valley. For now I`ve pretty much stayed with guidance that has highs in the 60s to lower 70s on Sunday, but wonder given the progged upper air patter if this may be a bit too cool. Will have to monitor upcoming medium range solutions on this cool down over the next few days and nights. Truett && .AVIATION: (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Wednesday Afternoon) Issued at 1156 AM CDT Tue May 26 2015 Specifics for KCOU: Isolated thunderstorms are possible this afternoon, but the anticipated coverage is too low to include a TS mention in the TAF attm. Southwest winds will persist through most of the period with diminishing gusts after sunset. Specifics for KUIN: A band of showers will have moved through the terminal before 18z, therefore VCSH was dropped for the initial TAF issuance. Additional thunderstorms might develop later tonight near a stalled cold front invof KUIN. Southwest winds will persist through most of the TAF period. Specifics for KSTL, KSUS, KCPS: A band of showers has already developed west of the terminals and should reach the St. Louis metro area around 19z. Brief periods of MVFR conditions are possible if one of the showers moves directly over a terminal. Isolated thunderstorms are possible this afternoon, but the anticipated coverage is too low to include a TS mention in the TAFs attm. Southwest winds will persist through most of the period with diminishing gusts after sunset. Winds at KSTL should become nearly westerly for several hours after 27/15z, then turn light/variable just beyond the end of the 30-hr TAF period.

By Vitali Shaposhnikov: With every day more and more people leave and enter the world of boxing. Some join as fans and others as participants. The best thing about this is that its a co-dependent cycle, where one directly depends on the other: fans are attracted to the sport by a certain fighter, and most fighters dedicate themselves for the benefit of the fans. This past Saturday December 4th, I was in attendance at the Top Ranks event dubbed In Harms Way, and this cycle was in full blaze. While the attendance numbers were low, the card proved to be well worth the while. All fights were stuffed with action, pleasing the fans from bell to bell.
While not being the main event on paper, certainly the majority of the fans at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA, came to see Nonito Donaire display his unparallel talent and speed once again. His challenger, Wladimir Sydorenko fighting out of Kiev, Ukraine, was no practice run. With only 2 losses out of his 22 wins, Wladimir has never been knocked out. When the first round bell rang and the seconds began counting down, it became clear that Nonito simply outclasses Sydorenko with his speed and reflexes. Nonito scored a knockdown in round one with a sharp left-right combination right on the button. In round three, Donaire landed a superb left hand, sending Wladimir to the canvas. Nonito had earlier predicted a 5th round knockout of his opponent, but he was unable to wait, knocking Sydorenko out in round 4. Nontios talent has been voiced all over the world, and his stardom is on a sharp rise. His name and his logo is becoming a real passion for many boxing fans. While currently Manny Pacquiao holds the title of the ultimate Filipino sports star, Nonito Donaire is right behind him to keep his country people proud. On February 19th, Nonito takes on Fernando Montiel in the biggest fight of his career so far. For those who dont know about this fight, or dismiss its importance and potential, I urge you to reconsider, as many expect it to be nothing short of spectacular.
Post Fight Interview with Nonito Donaire:
- After this fight, how high up in weight do you think you can go?
- Right now I think I can go as high as 130lbs. I feel really good. But right now I am not even touching the weight. 118lbs is a bit of a struggle, I think 122lbs is really good. I know I can go 126lbs pretty decently.
- How much influence if any, did Manny Pacquiao have or has on your boxing? Will you try to imitate his success by aiming at higher weight classes?
- I will do the best that I can. I believe that part of him did inspire me to do my best and to make it happen. If he can do it, I can do it. He inspired me to keep going and to win. We are definitely good friends. We dont talk about boxing much, we just hang out.
- Since your win over Darchinyan, how much do you think you have progressed?
- I definitely got better, and I will keep getting better thats just it! Ill continue to get better and stronger from every experience. Thats what I aim for, to keep learning and to be better.
- What would you tell Vic right now, what message?
- There is really nothing. We had a fight in August and he backed out of it. The guy is something that just happened. History. Its past, its done. I gave him a rematch, he didnt want it. I am ready to move on and Montiel is my next fight.
- You have been on the p4p list for some time now. What do you think earned you a place on that list?
- I think its just the victories. Each time I have a victory. All the fights got me there. All the people have seem what I am capable of, and all the fights after the Darchinyan fight got me to that level. I am knocking guys out. Only one guy I didnt knock out, and he came into the ring 12lbs or so higher.
- Did you expect this fight with Sydorenko to go the way it did?
- I expected the guy to be tough but I felt really strong and motivated, and trained really hard for this fight. I predicted a 5th round knockout, but I got him early.
- What fighter in boxing history can you compare yourself to?
- That I dont know. Right now I am still making my way up, trying to do the best that I can. I cant really compare myself to anybody. I havent yet achieved where I want to be, but I will get there.
- How has your relationship with your father been?
- He came out with another article bashing my wife, and I thought that we have made up. Apparently not, so it will take time. I am always open with my family. If you cant get along with my wife, then it hard for me to make things happen. I do love my parents and my family; they were actually here to see me fight. Aside from that, time will tell. Thats all I can really say.
- Who came up with the nickname Filipino Flash?
- In school I was pretty fast. I was always into cartoons and animation. I like the name Flash. The Filipino came along become I am Filipino. I was just supposed to be Nonito Flash Donaire. My brother was The Filipino Bomber, and once we fought and I can after him, and they introduced me as Nonito The Filipino Flash. Thats when it got stuck there.
- Any message to your fans?
- Thank you guys for all the support. It was awesome and I hope you guys enjoyed the fight. I am just going to get better from this point on. Please keep supporting me, keep praying for me, and I will keep winning. So thank you guys!
WBC lightweight champion Humberto Soto (54-7-2, 32 KOs) has the fight of his facing Urbano Antillon (28-2, 20 KOs). While both boxers posses very good technical skill, this fight turned out to be a challenge of heart. Both fighters threw a barrage of punches, and giving up was not on the map. Antillon was able to prove that despite losing, he is a forced to be reckoned with. They gave fans what they came for. Arum talked about some possible future opponents for Antillon, but nothing solid was disclosed. Scores were 114-113, 115-112, 114-113, for the winner, Humberto Soto.
The fight that surprised most, was the middleweight bout between Pawel Wolak (28-1, 18 KOs) and Jose Pinzon (19-2-1, 13 KOs). Initially Wolak was planning on sharing the ring with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. who pulled out of the fight due to a reported case of the flu. Wolak did not believe this to be true, but made no excuses and did not complain. This fight showed that Pawel has the heart of a true champion, a fighter with something to prove to himself. In round two, Wolak was sent to the floor by Pinzon, and did not show much hope when back on his feet. Pinzon proceeded with a wide spectrum of non-stop offense, while Pawel was attempting to weather the storm and get through the round. Many fans were voicing their concern as the round was happening, yelling and demanding this fight be stopped. Most, including me counted Pawel out, believing he was badly hurt. This theory turned out to be a complete dud, and Pawel showed his tremendous recovery skill. Wolak came back the next round, and dictated the pace of the fight with an incredible offensive force every second of every round. In round seven, at the time of 2:24 on the clock, referee Jack Reiss waved off the fight. Pinzon was barely standing on his feet, showing a clear case of defeat.
- Pawel Wolak, why boxing?
- I just love the competition and want to be the best.
- After the knockdown, there was a period of time when it seemed like the fight could have been stopped at any moment. The referee let it go, and of course it turned out to be of benefit to you. What did you feel when you got up from the knockdown, and a barrage of punches came your way?
- I got knocked down flat out; I cant make any excuses about that. But when I got up I was fine. I know he came a little hard at me, but I was just trying to weather the storm. I knew that if I could survive, and get my legs back in round three, I was going to come strong and win. Almost every fight I lose the first round. I know that once the middle rounds come, it will be all me. I always stay positive in my heart that sooner or later I will catch them.
- I havent seen too many of your fights, but do you think that this was one of the more beneficial fights in your career? The reason I say this, is because you made a very powerful statement in this particular fashion.
- It was a good fight. I had other better fights where I could dominate and break down the opponent, but this fight really showed my heart. It showed my preparation as well.
- When can we see you back in the ring?
- I am not too sure right now, but as far as I know, March time is when we are planning it.
All in all, this was a great event that paved a very hard yet prospective road for many of the participating fighters.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The National Congress of American Indians is applauding President Barack Obama for fulfilling a promise to visit Indian Country.
Obama is visiting the Standing Rock Reservation in the Dakotas to get a firsthand look at culture and also the problems there.
The National Congress of American Indians says in a statement that having Obama visit Indian Country has been "a longtime priority." It says the president's visit builds on his administration's efforts to work closely with tribal nations.
Obama is only the third sitting president to come into Indian Country in almost 80 years. In 2008, then-candidate Obama pledged to expand health services, improve education, combat methamphetamine dealers, promote economic development and improve housing on reservations.
Some Standing Rock residents say many of those promises have yet to be met.

Tyler and Easton
Tyler and Easton have spent a fair amount of time at the Lake House and they are definitely two of our member's favorites. I have tried numerous times in the past to get these two to hook up but I have always encountered the same problem. They are both very busy and they are both TOPS and not real anxious to give up their hot tight holes.We have been receiving numerous comments from our members that have taken notice that Tyler has been working hard on his body. Well it seems that our members aren't the only ones admiring Tyler's ripped body; Easton has certainly weighed in with his opinion as well. Easton has been so impressed with our new Tyler that he gave me a call to let me know that he would be willing to give up his hairy hole if Tyler was the one doing the breeding.

"Modalities to be worked out soon"
NEW DELHI: The Congress said on Sunday that it had entered into a seat-sharing poll agreement with the Bahujan Kisan Dal (BKD), the political wing of Mahendra Singh Tikait's Bharatiya Kisan Union, for contesting the Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh.
Briefing newsmen at the AICC headquarters here, Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee president, Salmaan Khursheed and BKD leader, Rakesh Tikait said both parties had agreed to contest together in Uttar Pradesh in order to ensure the victory of the Congress.
Mr. Rakesh Tikait, who is the son of Chaudhary Mahendra Singh Tikait, is contesting from the Khatauli Assembly segment where the Congress has decided not to field any candidate.
Mr. Tikait said the endeavour of his party was to see the installation of Amethi MP, Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Minister of the country. He said the seat-sharing arrangement had been arrived at during the recent three-day western Uttar Pradesh tour of Mr. Gandhi.
"We have decided to support each other's stronger candidates in the entire region. The BKU has a big presence in Western Uttar Pradesh and other parts and this would be used to ensure that this alliance emerges victorious. The BKD has fielded 65 candidates in the region and allotted symbols to them but asking them to withdraw where the Congress is stronger will not be a problem at all," he added.
Mr. Khursheed said although talks were on with the Rahstriya Lok Dal and the Jan Morcha they had not progressed the way the Congress would have liked them to. Conceding that the seat arrangement had come late in the day, Mr. Khursheed said modalities like the seats to be contested and joint campaigning would be decided in due course. "The campaign in Uttar Pradesh is yet to begin. We will work out our strategy according to a schedule finalised by the party high command. There is a strong demand for campaigning by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress president Sonia Gandhi and of course the young Mr. Gandhi," he said.
Mr. Khursheed said it was very difficult to predict the number of seats the party or the alliance would win but expressed the confidence that the Congress would play a major role in influencing the formation of the next Government in the State. "Our foremost task is to revive the Congress politically in the State and we are heading in that direction under the inspiring leadership of Mr. Gandhi and the Congress president," he added.
