Tony Mabesa–lion of the theater
More News from Amadís Ma. Guerrero
The Japanese military banned Hollywood movies during their traumatic occupation of the Philippines in the 1940s. As a result, Philippine theater flourished. The Avellanas formed the Philippine Artist League, Gerardo de Leon's troupe performed at the Life Theater in Quiapo, Manila; and Narciso Pimentel staged plays at the Met.
Cinema houses were closed down, but later gave way to these stage productions.
Little Tony Mabesa (born in Los Baños, Laguna in 1935), accompanied by his mother and sometimes by his Lola Chayong, would watch these shows that featured "dancing women, singers, acrobats, animal acts, precocious children and comedians, and capped by a 30 to 45 minute dramatic theatrical piece performed by actors from film, radio and theater."
Cupid's arrow
At UP Rural High School, young Mabesa suddenly became a director "when Cupid shot an arrow into the heart" of his English teacher, Priscilla Alabado. During a class project, Miss Alabado turned over the directorial chores to the student "apparently (because) she wanted to spend more time with her beau whom she eventually married."
Mabesa went on to become a director of note, and an actor of stage, film and TV. He is still at it after some six decades. At 78 years old, he has done over 150 plays, and counts appearances in about 100 movies and TV shows.
At the University of the Philippines, his first mentor in theater was the playwright Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero (later a National Artist). Mabesa kept on acting and directing, went abroad for graduate and doctoral studies, and established the Dulaang UP and UP Playwright's Theater, among other myriad accomplishments.
Plays of substance
The choice of his favorite plays, says Mabesa, is dictated by "sentiment, aesthetic merit, and the impact the plays had on my career in theater."
Count among these Guerrero's "Wanted: A Chaperone," all the full-length plays of Anton Chekhov, Henrik Ibsen's "Peer Gynt," "St. Louis Loves Dem Filipinos" by Floy Quintos, Schiller's "Maria Stuart/Maria Stuarda," the musical "Man of La Mancha" and Nick Joaquin's "Portrait of the Artist as Filipino." Plus Shakespeare, of course.
The young Peer Gynt was played by—would you believe—Roderick Paulate, and the four- to five-hour play also starred Jonas Sebastian, Shamaine Centenera and Angie Ferro. It was one of his most ambitious productions.
As for "Man of La Mancha," Mabesa has directed the play three times, with translation by (National Artist) Bienvenido Lumbera. "The song 'The Impossible Dream' never ceases to haunt me," he says.
Delicate relationship
"The relationship between a teacher/director and student artist is a delicate one," muses Mabesa. "Somehow, one's role as a mentor of a student can be a most rewarding or a most frustrating one."
Presumably most rewarding for him is the gaggle of top-tier actors he has mentored, led by Centenera, Irma Adlawan, Eugene Domingo, Frances Makil-Ignacio, Adriana Agcaoili, Banaue Miclat, Neil Ryan Sese, among many others.
Filmmakers Chito Roño and Aureus Solito were in his directing class, and he also served as adviser to the theses productions of Chris Millado, Dennis Marasigan, Alexander Cortez and Tuxqs Rutaquio.
The honor roll of Mabesa students includes film scholars Nick Deocampo and Ada Bautista (film editing, Sorbonne Paris), designers Clint Ramos (Obie Award, New York) and Eric Pineda, and playwrights Floy Quintos and Nick Pichay.
"I am blessed to have had an ongoing six-decades-plus career in the theater," the veteran actor-director says.
For Dulaang UP this September, he is adapting and directing John Webster's "The Duchess of Malfi" in both English and Filipino, with the Filipino translation done by Allan Palileo.
You can also see him starting Sept. 16 in the new TV5 tawa-serye "Madame Chairman," starring Sharon Cuneta. Mabesa plays Father Andy. A long way from Shakespeare and Chekhov but, as he says in his trademark basso profundo, "a happy actor is a working actor, and ditto for a director."

Americans bought more gas guzzlers in April than in previous months. A University of Michigan study found that the average fuel economy (according to the window sticker -- more on that below) is at 23.9 miles per gallon. That's .2 m.p.g below the March average, and the first drop since December. Overall fuel economy for American cars sold has been trending higher over the years with occasional dips and drops (see chart). April's average is nearly 20 percent higher than in 2007 when U. Mich started tracking the gas mileage of autos Americans buy.
The authors posit that a slight drop in gas prices spurred this slip backwards on m.p.g. as Americans felt more comfortable plunking down cash for bigger cars.
As you digest this American m.p.g. news, consider a German study from earlier in the week that finds automakers are exaggerating fuel efficiency claims for their cars, and doing it more boldly then in the past. The study finds that in 2001 carmakers claimed 8 percent more fuel efficiency than drivers got in practice. In 2012, that jumped to a 21 percent gap between promise and practice. Something a few drivers have taken seriously enough to sue over, and win.
It's completely irrational to choose a vehicle (a long-term investment) based on the current price of oil, which everyone knows is volatile. If consumers were thinking long-range, they would buy the most fuel-efficient vehicle because oil prices will certainly increase over the long-term.

After days of trial and error, I finally have found workarounds for most issues, including binpatched AICPM and patched kernel for lapic errors.
My machine is an HP Spectre XT ultrabook, running an Ivy Bridge i5-3317U and Intel HD 4000.
So far my install is based on U{censored} and 10.8.2 app from App store, and have tried Chameleon r2064 as well as Chimera 1.11.1 as bootloaders.
I am unable to boot unless I use safe mode (-x), but there are no apparent errors or KP messages.
When not in safe mode, I stay stuck at the verbose output screen, the GUI does not start and I get no login screen.
I don't think this purely a HD 4000 graphics issue, as even when injecting incorrect device properties for the HD 4000, consequences are only felt when in safe mode.
I've attached two sets of system.logs: a failed boot in normal mode (nogui) and a successful boot in safe mode (safemode).
Any insight would be much appreciated.

Unusual Bacteria Help Balance The Immune System In Mice
Discovery lays groundwork for better understanding of protective human microbes in the gut
Medical researchers have long suspected that obscure bacteria living within the intestinal tract may help keep the human immune system in balance. An international collaboration co-led by scientists at NYU Langone Medical Center has now identified a bizarre-looking microbial species that can single-handedly spur the production of specialized immune cells in mice.
This remarkable activation of the immune response could point to a similar phenomenon in humans, helping researchers understand how gut-dwelling bacteria protect us from pathogenic bacteria, such as virulent strains of E. coli. The study, published in the Oct. 30, 2009, issue of Cell, also supports the idea that specific bacteria may act like neighborhood watchdogs at key locations within the small intestine, where they sense the local microbial community and sound the alarm if something seems amiss.
In mice, at least, the newly identified neighborhood watchdog looks like something out of Disney's "The Shaggy D.A." Distinguished by long hair-like filaments, "These bacteria are the most astounding things I've ever seen," says Dan Littman, MD, PhD, the Helen L. and Martin S. Kimmel Professor of Molecular Immunology and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator.
Co-led by Dr. Littman's lab, the collaboration with researchers in Japan, California, and Massachusetts zeroed in on a little-known microbe named segmented filamentous bacterium, or SFB. In mice raised under germ-free conditions, the scientists found that adding SFB was sufficient to trigger the appearance of specialized T helper cells known as Th17 cells. These immune specialists, in turn, can send signals that tell epithelial cells lining the small intestine to increase their output of molecules targeting selected microbes.
For the study's mice, the infection-fighting response was enough to ward off the pathogen Citrobacter rodentium, considered a good model for the type of disease-causing E. coli found in contaminated foods like spinach or ground beef. Without SFB to protect them, mice infected with Citrobacter rodentium became ill before recovering.
In the same way, commensal microbes""beneficial bacteria""could decrease our susceptibility to various pathogenic invaders. "So you can immediately see some practical application of this, if one can mimic the presence of these commensal bacteria to strengthen resistance to pathogenic microbes," Dr. Littman says.
Thanks to rapid progress in the field of genomics, he expects the entire DNA sequence of the SFB species to be completed within a few months. Armed with the sequence, researchers could focus on specific proteins. "For example, can we identify a protein that, when we inject it into an epithelial cell, sets off in motion the whole pathway to make Th17 cells?" he says. "By knowing how to do this, you may be able to give people a peptide or a compound that induces Th17 cells by mimicking the bacterial product, and in that way either protect or ameliorate the effect of the infection."
Too much Th17 cell activation, however, can lead to harmful inflammation, Dr. Littman says. Excessive induction by specific microbes in the gut, then, could contribute to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, and possibly even multiple sclerosis.
The study's co-authors include Ivaylo I. Ivanov and Nicolas Manel from NYU Langone Medical Center's Helen L. and Martin S. Kimmel Center for Biology and Medicine `at the Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine; Kenya Honda, Koji Atarashi, Takeshi Tanoue, and Kiyoshi Takeda from Osaka University; Tatsuichiro Shima, Akemi Imaoka, and Yoshinori Umesaki from the Yakult Central Institute for Microbiological Research in Tokyo; Kikuji Itoh from the University of Tokyo; Eoin L. Brodie, Ulas Karaoz, Katherine C. Goldfarb, and Clark A. Santee from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Susan V. Lynch from the University of California at San Francisco; and Dongguang Wei at Carl Zeiss SMT Inc. in Massachusetts.
The study was supported by fellowships from the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America and the Cancer Research Institute, and by grants from the National Institutes of Health; the Japan Science and Technology Agency's PRESTO Program; the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan; the Senri Life Science Foundation; and the Naito Foundation

Dodds was discovered about a mile from the crash scene, beneath a pile of leaves, apparently fading in and out of consciousness. He was missing a shoe. Alleged Assault
The latest twist in this bizarre New England political saga began when Dodd's wife called her hometown police in Rye, N.H. from a vacation home in Florida to claim that her husband had assaulted her during an argument and packed his bags and left. During the 1:14 a.m. call Sunday night, Cynthia Dodds asked police to check the couple's home "to make sure her home was safe to return to," Velardi said.
Velardi said that Cynthia Dodds told police in Rye that she had "grabbed his arm and tried to talk to him … and that he picked her up and threw her to the floor."
Cynthia Dodds did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment. Her husband is expected to remain in county jail in New Hampshire pending a May 12 bail hearing.
He was sentenced last month to a year behind bars, with all but 20 days suspended pending good behavior, after the sentencing judge called Dodd's tale of being lost in the snowy New England woods following a car crash a "fairy tale."
Nadeau has filed his intentions to appeal the verdict, claiming that two key medical experts were not qualified to testify, and the judge in the case had agreed to stay the sentence until all of Dodds' appeals were exhausted.
South of the Border
But that decision was called into question recently when federal officials informed the Stafford County District Attorney's office that Dodds had applied for a passport renewal, with the stated intention of traveling to Bolivia to do charity work with his local church group. No restrictions had been placed on his passport during the trial or after his conviction.
In response, prosecutors sought a change in his bail status.
Then, yesterday, they learned of the police report in Rye. In addition to the fact that Dodds had told Stafford prosecutors that he was traveling on a family vacation to New Orleans, Cynthia Dodd's call came from a home in Florida, according to Velardi.
Prosecutors went to a judge on Monday and sought to have Dodds' bail revoked. The judge initially denied that request, but "upon reflection'' changed his mind and issued the revocation late Monday. When law enforcement officials in New Hampshire could not locate Dodds at the home he had listed as his primary address in Rye, he officially became a fugitive.
He was arrested near Cutts Mansion, a building prosecutors said he owns.
Nadeau, Dodd's attorney, told ABC News that since his failed election bid, Dodds and his wife had been restoring and selling rental properties.
He disputed the judge's decision to revoke his client's bail, saying that "there is a difference between a crime and a family altercation."
In an appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America'' after his conviction, Dodds grew emotional when asked whether he'd ever run for congress again.
Choking up, he told Diane Sawyer that he didn't know, but seized the opportunity to take one last swipe at law enforcement officials in his home state.
"May God have mercy on their souls."

Shaq signs with the Celtics
|08.04.10 at 4:46 pm ET
The Celtics announced on their team website that they have come to terms with Shaquille O'Neal.
"It is not every day that you can add a player of Shaquille's caliber to your team," Danny Ainge said in the release. "His past experience speaks for itself and we believe that he is a great fit for our roster."
And here's the Shaq quote:
"I am honored to be joining the Celtics. I have played against Paul, Ray, Kevin, Rajon, and Jermaine for many years and it will be great to be able to call them my teammates. I cannot wait to get to Boston to get started in pursuit of another championship."
According to the report O'Neal will wear No. 36.

Route to backcountry seen as path to history
"I think it's a great idea," he said. "It's got a lot of historic value to it."
Johnson said previous efforts to have state Route 94 declared a scenic road failed because some residents feared the designation would place restrictions on their property. He said the resolution to be introduced in the Legislature will specify that the designation will not affect any modifications to the road.
Signs would be placed alongside the road noting its historic status, and local business leaders would be encouraged to promote the road's history to attract more visitors. Lund said the state resolution will focus on the rural two-lane portion of state Route 94, but might include the entire freeway.
Lund said the historic declaration for state Route 94 is the first step in encouraging more visitors to the area. Since Highway 80 was declared historic in 2006, several events have been held in which participants traveled and visited sites along the East County road, he said.
"It's a fun passport through time," Lund said.

Nikon Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.8 G Prime Lens (Black) -
Prime focal length of 50mm
Fast max aperture of f/1.8
7 blade diaphragm
SWM (Silent Wave Motor)
M/A (Full time Manual focusing)
Learn more
The Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.8 G normal prime lens is a wonderful standard lens. The 50mm focal length is extremely versatile on FullFrame (FX) where it can work as a travel, landscape, street photography, or everyday lens. On APS-c (DX) cameras this lens makes an outstanding portrait lens, and can of course be used for other types of photography too. The fast f/1.8 aperture allows for low-light performance, and the Bokeh from this lens looks great. The new aspherical lens element increases contrast and sharpness and the lens is well protected from life's little bumps. The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) AutoFocus is fast and quiet, and allows instant manual over-ride by just grabbing the focus ring – no switches to flip! With so many great features, and a familiar field of view, it's no wonder that the Nikon 50F1.8 is used by so many photographers.
Brilliance In Any Light - Get astonishing low light results
This lightweight standard lens is a great travel companion because you never know when a beautiful, sunny day will turn cloudy and rainy. With its fast f/1.8 aperture, the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G will capture even low-light situations with stunning brilliance.
Beautiful Background Blur - Achieve more natural depth of field
Whether you're shooting portraits, food or nature—indoors or outdoors—the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G renders a beautiful, natural background blur (Bokeh) at its wider aperture settings. And its 50mm focal length is perfect for creating natural perspective in your photographs.
Capture Every Detail - Shoot tack-sharp portraits every time
Nikon's Super Integrated Coating (SIC) enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduced flare, while the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G's Aspherical Lens Element (AS) virtually eliminates coma and other types of aberrations, even when shooting at the widest available aperture. Pair that with Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for fast, accurate and quiet autofocus, and you can be sure all of your portraits will be tack sharp.
Quiet Autofocus - A significant innovation in AF lens technology, Nikon's Silent Wave Motor uses ultrasonic (inaudible) vibrations—rather than a gear system—to focus the lens, providing incredibly smooth, silent and precise autofocus operation.
Quick Switching from AF to MF - When fine manual focusing is needed, simply rotate the lens focus ring—M/A mode allows you to seamlessly override the AF system with virtually no time lag.
Effective Aberration Correction - Aspherical lenses are an important part of the NIKKOR lens family. Virtually eliminating coma and other types of aberration, every new addition to the lineup provides a new level of contrast, resolution and compact design.

OP directors right to want 'just the facts' in decision
Posted On: 5/28/15
Written By:
No matter how simple it might seem for the Board of Directors to establish a policy regarding community groups' use of Ocean Pines Association facilities, the reality is that deciding who pays what is an exercise fraught with danger. Okay, maybe not real danger, but it is still an uncomfortable and awkward business of deciding which group is entitled to what level of accommodation at, say, the Yacht Club or other venue. In a way, it is like ranking groups in order of importance and that almost always causes hurt feelings, considering that few members of any group are willing to concede that their outfit or their cause may be a little less significant than some other organization's. Add to that the likelihood that most local nonprofits don't have much money in the treasury and therefore appreciate price breaks whenever they're available, it has to be tough to come up with a way to govern the use of community facilities that will seem fair to everyone.

Memorial becomes more than anyone could foresee
Posted On: 5/21/15
Written By:
Ten years ago, it was a nice gesture and a source of pride. After all, proponents and boosters had worked hard, raised some money and saw to the installation of a nice park area near the South Gate in Ocean Pines. Now, the Worcester County Veterans Memorial is something else entirely. Since that comparatively inauspicious beginning, the memorial has become a powerful centerpiece, a patriotic symbol that is highly valued by veterans and their families, and an educational element for school children throughout the county. When families and friends unite at the memorial on Monday, they will not only pay their respects to those who have fallen as well as to those who did their duty and returned, but also, in a way, to the group of volunteers who undertook the mission to honor all those who have served. As Sharyn O'Hare, a founding member of the Worcester County Memorial Foundation, observed this week, the site initially was little more than "a hole in ground," wh...» Click here for the full story.
Little spending to get stadium info worth it
Posted On: 5/7/15
Written By:
There's something about the public funding of arenas, stadiums and other significant venues that seems just plain wrong, considering that private enterprise is often among the principle beneficiaries of these facilities. It is, in some cases, no different than erecting a building for any commercial operation and justifying it by saying the business it generates will echo throughout the community. That said, there is nothing wrong with taking a look at an idea, which is what the Worcester County Commissioners voted to do this week with the sports complex proposed by Hat Trick Consultants of Texas. Theoretically, the complex would be home base for a minor league hockey team as well as some other small market sports franchise and would provide for a variety of indoor sports activities for area residents. Although the county commissioners have stated that they have no intention of going into the stadium business, which they couldn't do anyway given the facilities' est...» Click here for the full story.
Police called to help elsewhere sad situation
Posted On: 4/30/15
Written By:
It's a sad state of affairs indeed when local law enforcement agencies are called on to help quell violence in any jurisdiction other than their own, and it's even more unsettling when they are needed in a metropolitan area. This isn't to suggest that our police aren't capable of doing the job if called upon. Quite the contrary is true, since they would not have been contacted at all if the leadership of the Maryland Emergency Services Agency hadn't thought they were qualified. It also didn't hurt that the director of that agency is Clay Stamp, a local product who is well aware of the resources in the coastal communities, having proved himself some years ago as the resort's emergency services director. In that sense, the level of trust in our police is a good thing, but it remains a terrible business that requires them to be needed elsewhere in the first place. Monday's violence in Baltimore will spawn all sorts of explanations and an...» Click here for the full story.
Money, emotion battle science in zoning dispute
Posted On: 4/23/15
Written By:
Zoning fights such as the one taking place in Berlin between the developers of a would-be Dollar General on Old Ocean City Boulevard and the town's Planning Commission, almost always end badly for one party or the other. Although that would seem to be stating the obvious, the issue in such cases is not just winning or losing, but how much the parties involved invest of themselves and their resources before victory or defeat is declared. That's what determines the severity of the loss or the quality of the win in zoning battles, emotion and money and the amount of either that are committed to the fight. Complicating the situation is that zoning is more of a science than it is an art, because the state laws that empower local zoning boards don't allow for as much interpretation as some people would think. Proponents and opponents of a potential development can argue all they want about subjective matters such as appropriateness, appearances, preferences and such, bu...» Click here for the full story.
Questions remain on ARC
Posted On: 4/16/15
Written By:
The firestorm over an Ocean Pines resident's application to operate a gun sales business out of his home is now over as the county application for a zoning variance was withdrawn last week. While guns in homes are an emotional trigger for some, the real issue here was whether county and OPA regulations for home-based businesses in this case would be met. The home owner followed all the proper procedures in asking for the variance and although the county application was withdrawn, Ocean Pines Architectural Committee (ARC) had already granted the request. The question still remains however if the ARC decision may have come despite guidelines which require items being sold be manufactured in the home, which does not apply in this case, and the reason the variance was requested. Simply because the person requesting the variance followed all the rules does not require ARC to allow a variance. An additional consideration would be neighborhood traffic. While the resident...» Click here for the full story.
Berlin in budget heaven, while others are in, well …
Posted On: 4/9/15
Written By:
Oh, to live and budget in the Town of Berlin, which is one of the few places these days where government budgeting it not the jaw-clinching process it has become elsewhere. Locally, both Ocean City and Worcester County governments are staring at dreary revenue forecasts that don't support all their financial commitments, much less all the things they need to do but have delayed until the good times roll again. The Ocean Pines Association, while in good shape financially, still struggled during its budget process to decide whether to ramp up its assessments or to eliminate certain allocations. And then there's Berlin, which last year increased its spending 15 percent to improve the town and is aiming high again in its new budget as it considers buying the former Tysons property to convert into a public park. Wow. And to think that it wasn't that many years ago that Berlin, unlike these other entities at the time, was wallowing in its own red ink with what appeared ...» Click here for the full story.
Search committee's work sets Ocean Pines apart
Posted On: 4/2/15
Written By:
Despite the occasional wisecracks and flip observations about Ocean Pines politics, the community does more than most jurisdictions in the region to involve its citizens in the political process. While it's been observed frequently over the years that the members of various boards of directors haven't gotten along that well with each other, the only real distinction between OPA board arguments and disagreements in other local governments is that OPA board members tend to air their differences publicly instead of behind closed doors. That is refreshing, but more important to the process of governance in Ocean Pines is how far the association goes to encourage people not just to become more involved, but also to seek membership on the board itself. That's not just rare, it's virtually unheard of for representatives of a governing body to solicit potential competitors for office. But that's exactly what the OPA is doing as its candidate search commit...» Click here for the full story.
Berlin makes right call on project's annexation
Posted On: 3/26/15
Written By:
To grow or not to grow, that is the question just about every prosperous community asks itself at one time or another, as residents and officials debate the question of how much success is too much. What makes that question so arguable, as the Berlin Town Council demonstrated Monday, is that there isn't any clear answer. While it is true that a community can outgrow its charm and flavor, it is also impossible to maintain a set level of livability at a similarly fixed level of expense. Expenses always go up and, consequently, there are only two ways to cover the increases: raise taxes periodically to cover rising costs or keep the tax rate down by expanding the assessable base through growth. The problems are simple, but the answers aren't, as other Eastern Shore towns discovered when their attempts to hold back the tide of growth resulted in the departure of long-time residents who were forced out by rising costs of living. That's what it always comes down to: who...» Click here for the full story.
OP avoids potholes, uses art of compromise to pass FY16 budget
Posted On: 3/19/15
Written By:
And that, as they say, is that, which is this case with the Ocean Pines Association budget. After several weeks of quarreling over whether to increase or decrease assessments, which company should manage the golf course and whether General Manager Bob Thompson was out of line when he criticized the board for its golf course decision, it does appear that the dust has settled without anyone suffering permanent injury. That's good, considering that the goal of everyone involved is to do what's best for the community. How each member of this group goes about achieving this objective might differ, both practically and philosophically, but that's where the art of compromise comes into play. The budget approved by the OPA board reflects that and while it does leave unanswered questions, there will be plenty of time between now and next year's budget to address them. To be sure, the road to approval of this year's financial package was full of potholes, but th...» Click here for the full story.

I bought a son who goes 6 times a week swim, is clean and smells nice.
Excellent clarifying shampoo, I use it every second or third wash to remove any product build up (which I'd recommend everyone does). Doesn't strip the hair and leaves it feeling lovely and soft *please note that you can't use this as an everyday shampoo if you're like me and colour your hair but occasional use is fine*
I live in an extremely hard water area which plays havoc with my highlights bu dulling them down,regular washing with this shampoo helps alleviate this prob. Thr product arrived on time and perfectly packaged. Thank you lookfantastic.com
This is a good shampoo, gets rid of product build up well. I use it once-twice a week, also before I apply a hair mask. Also, good for cleaning make up brushes!
This is a very good shampoo, really feels like it gets rid of product build up. I also use it before applying my hair mask. Also good for cleaning make-up brushes.
I swim a lot so this Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three is great for me, makes my hair soft. Highly recommend.
Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three is a deep cleaning but does not dry the hair or the scalp. Excellent to prepare the hair for hydration products.
I have tried numerous shampoos for my daughter's hair as she is a keen swimmer and her hair was always in really bad condition with the chlorine, had almost given up when I spotted Paul Mitchell Shampoo 3 which stated that it helped remove residues from chlorine build up, and it does exactly that, would highly recommend it.
Bought Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three, was ready to use it because of the rave reviews, but what no one has mentioned that it says on the bottle to not use on coloured hair. Previously I had used a good chelating shampoo by another brand which was good but after reading the Paul Mitchell reviews this one sounded better. I have my hair coloured regularly and needed something to get chlorine out of my hair after my daily swim (I wear a swim cap but it still gets through). I have used the shampoo and I have to say my hair was lovely after and it didn't seem to strip any colour out but I won't use it daily just in case!
I love this shampoo! I swim about five days a week and my hair was starting to suffer - that was before I got this product - it gets rid of all the chlorine without stripping my hair. It's also great to use before a treatment to help it penetrate more deeply. I highly recommend it to all swimmers.
By far the best after sport (especially swimming) shampoo I've used, having tried a few. It really does get rid of chlorine. Used in conjunction with the leave-in conditioner, it makes my hair nice and soft.
I must say, the Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three (300ml) is an excellent shampoo, and cleans hair very well.
Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three arrived and is amazing, really good on my hair. The water here is really bad on my hair and this product is making such a difference. It was really dry and in bad condition, and after using this, my hair feels so clean and soft.
Great shampoo for getting all residue out of hair.
I have used this product along time and love it - one day my husband used it by mistake - now he loves it.
Does what it says on the tin. Removes excess Lacquer and styling products. Good Product.
I have been using this shampoo for about 2 years now. My hair is naturally very curly and my sisters is a loose wave and this shampoo leaves both our hair squeaky clean every time, even after we have loaded our hair with lots of products like we do! In fact I like this clarifying shampoo so-much-so that I always buy the 1000ml size and it lasts quite a while. It is very gentle on my hair and can be used daily, it does not leave my hair feeling like straw either. I only ever use it for my first wash as it states you only need it for the first wash. Also to get a really good lather on the first wash really drench your hair under the shower first for at least 30 second to a minute then it will lather up nicely.
does what it says! It was the big problem: my hair started to become green because of chlorine, together with my hairdresser we couldn`t find the decision of that problem. But now I have it - it really works!
My daughter has fine easily damaged hair and swims at least 3 times a week which was really hard on her hair till we found this shampoo,now it stays in great shape no matter how often she swims!A wonderful find.

GREENVILLE - Greenville City Council met Tuesday evening to pass five ordinances and resolutions, including an ordinance to increase staffing at the Greenville Police Department, said Mayor Mike Bowers.
Greenville's police force will increase to 16 officers, due to adding a contract with the Greenville City School District to provide a school resource officer (SRO) at the high school, Bowers stated before Tuesday's meeting.
"Because we're looking at providing a school resource officer for the school this year, we have to pass an ordinance for another officer position," Bowers noted. "We want to make sure we have all our ducks in a row…"
The ordinance passed Tuesday evening amended Ordinance No. 13-54 to increase the personnel for Greenville Police Department to 16.
Another ordinance was passed to appropriate $15,375 to transfer funds to finish out the pool season, Bowers explained.

The police told me that Kyrgyzstan is not a place for me. They said that they know many men like me. They said, "You are not the first, you are not the last [gay man to be detained]." … They told me that I should stop being gay.
—Mikhail Kudryashov, 24, who was severely beaten and threatened with rape by police in Kyrgyzstan in 2010
In May 2012, 32-year-old Fathullo F. (not his real name) received a phone call from a friend who said he had arranged a date for him with another man near a local hotel. Police officers grabbed him soon after he arrived at the designated meeting location, placed handcuffs on him, and insulted him. At the police station the officers hit him in the face and in the ear to force him to write a confession about seeking to meet another man, as well as to provide them with contact information for his employer and his family. The officers threatened to initiate a criminal "sodomy" case against him—even though consensual sex between men is not a crime in Kyrgyzstan—unless he agreed to give them money and contact information for other gay men from whom they could also extort money. He described how police officers treated him in detention:
The officers told me that people like me do not deserve to be on face of the earth. I asked them to let me sit down because I was tired. They said that I didn't deserve to use their chair and spat on me. They said that I didn't deserve to live and threatened to ruin me if I didn't give them 10,000 soms [US$214].
The case of Fathullo F. is not unique. Gay and bisexual men in Kyrgyzstan are subject to a range of abuses by police, including physical, sexual, and psychological violence, as well as extortion and arbitrary detention. Police who commit these abuses are not held to account, creating a climate of impunity that encourages further abuse. Victims are reluctant to report police abuses to the authorities, fearing retaliation or the disclosure of their sexual orientation to family members and/or employers by the police. Very few cases of police torture and violence against gay men are investigated in Kyrgyzstan, and Human Rights Watch is not aware of a single case in which a police officer has been held accountable for the arbitrary detention, torture, or ill-treatment of a gay or bisexual man.
Violence, blackmail, and extortion by police, and a lack of accountability for these crimes, are all too common in Kyrgyzstan, but those who belong to minority groups are particularly vulnerable. Gay and bisexual men are easy targets for abuse due to deep social conservatism.
Pervasive homophobia in society and widespread police corruption contribute to these abuses. In general, men in Kyrgyzstan are expected to conform to stereotypical male appearances, marry women, and have children. Men who do not fit these stereotypes are perceived as failing to fulfill familial and social duties and are often pressured to conform. Many people perceive homosexuality as a "tragedy" and a "disease." As a result, many gay and bisexual men interviewed by Human Rights Watch said that they fear disclosing their sexual orientation to their families and employers and try to conceal it from others at any cost.
The 40 gay and bisexual men Human Rights Watch interviewed for this report all said that police are aware of their fear of disclosure of their sexual orientation and described how police officers exploit this vulnerability to target men they suspect are gay or bisexual. Most, including two who were 17 years old at the time of abuse, reported having experienced some form of physical abuse, threats, extortion, or all of these abuses during one or multiple encounters with the police.
Many of the men interviewed by Human Right Watch for this report also reported ill-treatment in police detention, including being punched, kicked, or beaten with gun butts or other objects. Several also reported sexual violence by police officers, including rape, group rape, attempts to insert a stick, hammer, or electric shock device inside the victim's anus, unwanted touching during a search, or being forced to undress in front of police. In some cases, the ill-treatment the men experienced at the hands of the police rose to the level of torture.
Several men, including one who was 17 years old at the time of abuse, told Human Rights Watch that police threatened to rape them, in some cases with a coat hanger or a bottle. Police also often asked humiliating personal questions, such as whether they play an active or a passive role in sex.
Most of the gay and bisexual men interviewed by Human Rights Watch said that the police had threatened to disclose their sexual orientation to family members, employers, university administration (in the case of students), and others. In Kyrgyzstan, the disclosure of a person's sexual orientation can have serious consequences, including violence, loss of employment, and long-term social and family ostracism.
Many of those interviewed by Human Rights Watch reported that police had compelled them to pay money, ranging from $12 to $1,000, in order to avoid further physical violence, being detained, or the police disclosing their sexual orientation to family members or others.
Police in Kyrgyzstan have no legal right to detain gay and bisexual people solely on the basis of their sexual orientation. In 1998, Kyrgyzstan ended Soviet-era criminalization of consensual sex between men with the adoption of a new criminal code. Despite this, Human Rights Watch found that police arbitrarily stop gay and bisexual men in public places or take them into custody solely because of their actual or perceived sexual orientation. Police identify gay and bisexual men through dating websites, outside of gay clubs, and in parks where gay and bisexual men meet, among other locations.
Kyrgyzstan's laws prohibit torture, ill-treatment, arbitrary detention, and extortion by police, as do Kyrgyzstan's commitments under international law. Despite these legal protections, this report finds that current systems of addressing police abuse are not sufficient for protecting gay and bisexual men from violence and extortion. Of those men interviewed by Human Rights Watch for this report, only two filed official complaints about the abuse they had suffered. One victim never received a response to his complaint. In another case, the prosecutor's office conducted an inquiry that ignored medical evidence of injuries against the victim and declined to open a criminal investigation.
Many of the gay and bisexual men interviewed for this report, including human rights defenders, told Human Rights Watch that they feel unable to file complaints and access existing systems of redress, and that they lack confidence in the authorities' willingness to pursue their complaints. They have legitimate fears of retaliation by those who abused them in the first place or by other law enforcement officials. They also fear that law enforcement officials will fail to respect their privacy and confidentiality or will disclose their sexual orientation to the public, family members, or others.
In interviews with Human Rights Watch, Ministry of Interior officials openly stated that they are unable to protect victims, including gay and bisexual men, who file complaints from possible repercussions by police or law enforcement officers.
The cases of police abuse against gay and bisexual men documented by Human Rights Watch indicate the need for enhanced and targeted efforts to prevent and punish torture and ill-treatment, including when committed against gay and bisexual men. The government of Kyrgyzstan should take steps to encourage reporting of complaints of police violence and extortion against gay and bisexual men, including by ensuring that the recently established National Center for Prevention of Torture and the Office of the Ombudsman for Human Rights have the mandate and means to receive and adequately investigate such complaints.
The authorities should ensure that all allegations are promptly investigated in a manner capable of leading to prosecutions of perpetrators. The authorities should immediately establish victim and witness protection programs to ensure that gay and bisexual men and others may safely file complaints without fear of retaliation.

Isles men face stiff schedule
Clark's slate features all Division I foes
A map and an online search engine are no longer needed to figure out the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball schedule.
The Islanders released their 2007-2008 schedule Thursday and, for the first time in the program's nine seasons, the slate is made up entirely of NCAA Division I schools. Athletic director Brian Teter and new head coach Perry Clark made it a point to have an all Division I slate this season.
"I was going to give (Clark) one non-DI if he wanted it," Teter said. "I think it's important to play Division I competition. At the end of the day, that is how you're judged. With what this program has accomplished, we owe it to ourselves and our fans to play the best schedule we can."
Out are Division III schools, those from the NAIA and the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association). Goodbye this season to Wiley College, Huston-Tillotson and Texas College, among others.
In are the Atlantic 10 (Rhode Island), Big 12 (Oklahoma State), Big East (DePaul) and SEC (Auburn, Mississippi State).
Contests against mid-major conferences are in store with a road swing to play Mid-America power Kent State, and a home-and-home series against Troy of the Sun Belt Conference. And, of course, there is the 16-game allotment of Southland Conference games.
The team opted out of participating in the mid-major Bracketbuster held in February due to concerns about scheduling around conference games.
The non-DI line may go all the way down to an exhibition game. Teter said the Islanders might not play an exhibition as the team is making an exempt trip to Canada this week. Instead, as the season draws near, A&M-Corpus Christi might schedule a scrimmage against another Division I college.
That would label the Nov. 10 game against Texas Southern as the season-opener, with 10 new players getting their first test for the Islanders. The NIT Tip-Off -- with the first two games at College Station -- would be next.
Highlights include trips to DePaul (Nov.28), Oklahoma State (Dec. 5) and Auburn (Jan. 2). A home contest with Mississippi State is set for Dec. 21 at the American Bank Center.
Southland plays begins Jan. 12 at McNeese State. The conference home-opener is Jan. 17 against Northwestern State, the team A&M-Corpus Christi defeated in the Southland Tournament finals last season.
The conference tournament will be held in the Houston area again, this time going to the Merrell Center in Katy.

Topics covered include: GSPS ADC and DAC IC technology, an overview of the JESD204B interface, and the software that makes the converters and FPGA work together seamlessly.
Integrated Approach to SPI using Digital Isolator Technology - SPI is used for IC-to-IC communications. Unidirectional lines make it easy to isolate, but interrupts and in-band addressing for target devices are not supported, so extra isolated channels are usually required. Also, the clocking scheme links the bus speed to the propagation delay of the isolation. This webinar looks at new integrated SPI digital isolators that address these shortcomings.
Troubleshooting your SAR ADCs - This webcast discusses the three main areas of support circuitry associated with high-resolution SAR ADCs. The first part focuses on driving the reference, choosing passive and active components, noise contributions, and performance characteristics. Next, we discuss front-end support circuitry, properly driving the ADC, and overstress protection. We conclude by highlighting support tools for evaluating or prototyping with ADI converters.
High-performance GSPS Data Converters Improve RADAR & EW Architectures - In recent years, ADCs sampling at GSPS rates have been pushing the data conversion stage closer and closer to the antenna, but when analog bandwidths reach 1 to 2 GHz, the ac performance of ADCs may be limited by the linearity and noise spectral density. This webinar discusses the advantages of new GSPS converters and the impact on radar and electronic warfare systems.
Digital Potentiometers - Where and How to Use - Digital Potentiometers (digiPOTs) provide a convenient way to adjust the ac or dc voltage or current output of sensors, power supplies, or other devices that require some type of calibration. This webcast describes the advantages of using digital potentiometers in various applications and shows the main parameters to be considered when designing a circuit using a digital potentiometer.
Isolation in Ultra Low Power Applications - Advances in isolation technology have reduced the power consumption of digital isolators by orders of magnitude, enabling safety and convenience in low-power applications. This webcast looks at several designs that take advantage of quiescent currents less than 1 µA per channel, including 4-20 mA field instrumentation, telecom interfaces referenced to negative 42-V rails, and battery operated devices.
Developing Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Systems with the AD9361 - As software defined radio (SDR) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) become more prevalent, there is a need for more channel diversity. This webcast will detail how to use multiple AD9361 RF agile transceivers to create an N×N MIMO system, as well as explore the available tradeoffs in the design. The AD9361 is a fully integrated 2×2 MIMO transceiver. Its programmability and wideband capability make it ideal for a broad range of transceiver applications.

Fresh Roadmap for Firefox
The Mozilla Project has updated its roadmap for the coming versions of Firefox. The next big release, Firefox 4.0 with Geko1.9.4 underneath, is scheduled for the end of 2010.
According to the roadmap, the next minor update from the Mozilla Foundation will be the release of Firefox 3.6 (codenamed Namoroka) in November, with the simultaneous launch of Fennec 1.0, the Firefox version optimized for mobile devices. Firefox 3.6 has its own Wiki site with details of each stage of development.
Version 3.7 is scheduled for the first quarter of 2010, with a Geko1.9.3 chassis. Main feature here will be plugins that work as separate tasks which should increase browser stability. Developers also plan a bookmarking synchronization capability.
Firefox 4.0 and Fennec 2.0, planned for the third or fourth quarter of next year, will bring a new graphic interface for all platforms. The first designs for the new interface (as Windows mockup) can be viewed here.
good postThanks a lot for sharing the article on cash. That's a awesome article. I enjoyed the article a lot while reading. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful article.I want to say very thank you for this great informations. now i understand about it. Thank you !
64-bit version of FirefoxI don't see:
* Actually bother to make a 64-bit version of Firefox > 3.0 for Linux
yes fix bugsAnother long standing one: expand a youtube video to full screen, and 3.0 and 3.5 dies.
Optimisation and bug huntingI'd prefer they spend some time on speed / memory optimization and killing all the known bugs before they add new features. That said, its still very stable generally, I only ever have problems with flash content which id Adobes problem not firefox.
Firefox Does Features Not BugsAnyone who knows Firefox knows it's all about features and more features. Don't bother submitting bug reports to Firefox, because the "community" doesn't like them. Like all Linux projects, Firefox has a history of breaking their code from the previous year, ignoring all the bugs and compatibility issues, and then announcing the next "major version" as soon as possible.
many bugs in 3.5.*first mozilla firefox developers should worry about fixing the existing bugs, rather than working on new features. many bugs are lieing there in bugzilla without any action.
here are some of the bugs I'm aware of
1. firefox disappears from taskbar
2. when addon updates says new addon installed instead it should say addon updated to avoid confuse user.
3. firefox freezes until loads new link.
