Google ends its China censoring in Hong Kong shift
China accounted for a small fraction of Google's $24 billion in annual revenue. Analysts estimate Google brought in $250 million to $600 million from China. It's unclear how much of that amount flowed exclusively from Google.cn.
But investment analysts have worried about the long-term consequences of Google's actions in China. Opportunities there figure to grow faster than in the U.S. or Europe. Even if Google remained a distant second in search behind the homegrown Baidu.com Inc. in China, Google could still prosper as more Internet ads are served up in the country.
Google shares have slipped 5 percent since its Jan. 12 warning about a possible shutdown in China. The technology-driven Nasdaq index has climbed about 5 percent during the same span. Google shares fell slightly after the announcement and closed Monday at $557.50, down $2.50 for the day. Baidu's U.S. shares, which have soared about 50 percent since Google raised the possibility of leaving China, closed Monday at $579.72, up 1.8 percent.
China's financial promise is the main reason other technology companies, including Microsoft Corp., seem intent on staying there. If Google exited the country completely, Microsoft and other technology companies might have had an easier time recruiting China's best engineers.
The director of the China Internet Project at the University of California, Berkeley, applauded Google for its stand but predicted China will make it difficult for the company to continue doing business in China.
"The Chinese government will respond in their typically heavy-handed way," said Xiao Qiang, director of the project. "It's inevitable."

Four-day break doesn't slow Karns, 67-57
Sibley scores 29 to lead Beavers rally
A couple of days off didn't slow down the Karns High School boys' basketball team.
Junior guard Devin Sibley scored 29 points as the Beavers beat West 67-57 on Thursday in the opening round of the Pilot Invitational at Catholic.
Karns (10-3) took four days off for the Christmas break.
"Like a lot of teams, these kids play all year long," Karns coach Lee Henson said. "It's good for them to take a few days off and get their legs back under them for the long district run."
Sibley, the PrepXtra sophomore of the year last season, made nine of 19 shots from the field, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range. He was 7-of-8 from the foul line.
In the first half, Sibley was 4-of-13 from the field, 2-of-4 from 3-point range.
"He's a tremendous offensive player," Henson said. "He's bailed us out a lot of times. He struggled in the first half and missed some shots. I just told him to be patient and keep playing."
Senior forward Tyler Maples added 18 points for Karns.
West (5-5) was led in scoring by sophomore guard Yasmond Fenderson with 18 points. T.J. Perkins and Lawrence Fishback scored 11 each for the Rebels.
"This is a big growth opportunity for us to learn from tough situations," West coach Chris Kesler said. "That's what these tournaments are all about. You get to play teams you normally don't play. This is good for us to recognize we've got a lot of things to work on and a long way to go."
Karns scored 28 points on layups — most of them coming out of its motion offense or in transition.
"For us to be successful, that's what we have to do," Henson said. "We've got to be patient and run our offense. It always helps when you've got a kid (Sibley) who can pull up and shoot a 3 or take it to the hole."
West trailed 14-10 after one quarter and took a five-point lead midway through the second on Fenderson's three-point play.
Karns finished the quarter with a 14-3 run for a six-point halftime lead.
West trailed by 10 after three quarters and got within 58-55 on Fishback's two foul shots with 2:31 left. Karns finished with a 9-2 run — with all nine scored by Sibley.
"Karns is always tough to play," Kesler said. "They always play as a team. That's what makes them so tough."

Text The Romance Back 2.0 Review
Text Messages to Bring Back the Spark in your Relationship? Mmm, Forgive Our Skepticism, Won't You. But Hold On – Michael Fiore Really is the Relationship Guru of the Moment, so Perhaps We Should Give Him a Chance…
Okay, so once that honeymoon period's worn off; once the realities of everyday life dig deep; when the baby won't sleep through the night or you're working every hour under the sun just to make ends meet – you know the score – is it really possible to keep the romance alive? And by text message! What is Michael Fiore on?
But the proof of the pudding, so they say, is in the eating, and Mr. Fiore certainly does have an outstanding track record for helping couples return to those blissful days when your heart pounded at the sound of his (or her) voice. So it's only fair that we give Text the Romance Back a genuine and unbiased road test. Read on to see what we discovered…
What do you get for your money?
Well, to start with let's make it clear that what we're not talking about here is 'sexting.' Michael makes it very clear that there's a difference between sexting and texting. What this is about is using the power of the text message to send messages that honestly are romantic – even if one, or both, sides of a partnership think they don't have a romantic bone in their body.
After all, does anyone honestly not want to be loved?
What Text the Romance does is to provide you with the secret insight into exactly how you can use the humble text message to literally sweep your partner off their feet. And this includes those of you who might have been together for decades and believed that all the magic was gone once and for all.

Ladies Click Here To Get Instant Access
Text the Romance promises to show you exactly the way to
- Make your partner eager to give you all the attention you deserve.
- Give you the ability to make your husband or boyfriend fantasize about you when you're apart, and count down the moments until the two of you are together once again
- Know the way to make any guy you date suddenly develop a romance addiction, making it his life's ambition to seduce you.
And he does this by first introducing you to some little known information into the way the male mind works. Yes, ladies – that age old dilemma that you could have that relationship you dream of, if only you knew what he was thinking!
The thing is, romance means a very different thing to men than it does to women.
Ladies – romance to you probably means connection and communication with your partner, long evenings cuddled up by a fire and slow, sensual lovemaking. For men, on the other hand, romance is a game. And if you play the game wrong, you both lose.
Wow! That's quite a revelation, ladies. But, Michael is quick to point out that beneath this, every man has a romantic interior just waiting to be set loose. If only you know the right buttons to push that give him the permission to do so.
And What Text the Romance does, is give you the secret information that allows you to access that hidden tender romantic and allow him to become the loving Prince Charming of your dreams. And it all comes down to these three rules.
- He needs you to tease him. Because once a guy feels like he's "won" you, he's genetically hard-wired to lose interest. Teasing brings back the thrill of the chase, when you remind him once again what a valuable prize you really are.
- He needs permission. Yes, permission to be a "guy." To be unapologetically masculine, without worrying that he'll be judged, yelled at and to be able to feel powerful and desired as a man.
- He needs you to make him feel safe. Safe to let his guard down and be romantic without it being a big deal, and without the worry that any his friends or peers ever need know about it.

Who is it for?
One thing that makes Text the Romance different from many other relationship programs out there, is that this is not just directly aimed at those who've been hurt in the past. This is for everyone – including those in a happy relationship, an unhappy relationship, a long term relationship or just starting out on those tentative first few dates. Heck, it's aimed at those who aren't even in a relationship right now, but just want some tips for when that next person makes your heart go all a-flutter.
And not only is it a great program for the ladies, but also for same-sex couples who go through exactly the same relationship issues as their heterosexual counterparts.
Who is Michael Fiore?
Michael Fiore is the possibly one of the best known relationships coach in the country right now. He's been featured on a list of TV shows as long as your arm – including The Rachel Ray Show and Fox TV. This is one guy who actually knows what he's talking about, helping not just hundreds, but thousands of couples resolve their differences and rekindle that flame that got them together in the first place.
And in case you were wondering, Michael is so confident that you'll be happy with Text the Romance Back that it comes with a 60 day, no-questions asked 100% money back guarantee.

The Pros
- Text the Romance Back not only provides you with the information you need to communicate with your man in a way that pushes all the right buttons, but it can honestly transform a relationship overnight.
- Everyone has a cell phone, and it takes very little effort to send a text message. Even the most time pressed career woman or mother can find those few precious seconds to tap out a text.
- The advantage of texting is that no matter where your man is, at any point in time and however busy he might be, you have the ability to send him a message that'll have him sporting a goofy smile and thinking about you, and you only.
- The power of texting is such that you can create a private fantasy world between the two of you, allowing him to open up in a manner that he might not feel comfortable doing using any other method of communication. It's private, it's instant and it's unbelievably powerful.
- The program includes all the exact text messages you can use to hit your guy's inner romantic soul, giving him no choice but to fall in love with you all over again.
The Cons
- Okay, the biggest "con" is that Text the Romance Back is going to have you and your partner communicating so passionately via text message, that you're going to need a larger text message bundle!
- Your girlfriends are going to be desperate to know how you've managed to get your man to treat you in a manner they can only dream of. It's up to you to decide whether or not to let them in on your secrets.
The Bottom Line
Well ladies, as crazy as it seems, Mr. Fiore certainly seems to have hit the relationship nail firmly on the head with Text the Romance Back. Because, when it comes down to it, a truly happy relationship isn't about the big things – it's about getting the little things right. And communication is a vital part of that. Learning those intimate secrets that allow you to have true, two way, equal communication can honestly turn an ailing relationship into one that is not only thriving, but continues to get better and better.
After all, we all want to feel special. And with Text the Romance Back, you really can change your relationship for the better. Thanks, Michael Fiore – on behalf of the thousands of couples who will be forever in your debt.

House to vote on tea party-backed debt plan
WASHINGTON With a default deadline drawing ominously near, House Republican leaders are giving the tea party what amounts to a symbolic floor vote on a "cut, cap and balance" debt-limit plan while behind the scenes work continues on a fallback measure that could become the framework for a compromise.
The chamber will vote Tuesday on the plan to let the government borrow another $2.4 trillion - but only after big and immediate spending cuts and adoption by Congress of a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget.
The plan is doomed in the Democratic-controlled Senate, and the White House has promised a veto.
The cut, cap and balance measure - and the veto threat issued Monday - sparked the latest in predictable tit-for-tat exchanges between combatants of Capitol Hill and in the White House, even as it was revealed that President Barack Obama hosted House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., at the White House on Sunday.
"We're making progress," Obama reported.
But the White House attacked the cut, cap and balance idea as an assault on cherished programs. The measure doesn't contain any actual spending cuts but promises they will be made in the future.
"What we are witnessing here with this measure is classic Washington posturing, kabuki theater," said White House press secretary Jay Carney, adding that the measure would "dismantle ... our social safety net: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid."
Despite the veto threat, House Republicans said they would go ahead with plans to pass the bill Tuesday. "It's disappointing the White House would reject this commonsense plan to rein in the debt and deficits that are hurting job creation in America," Boehner said.
After the cut, cap and balance measure stalls, Senate leaders appear likely to try to advance a bipartisan plan to get around the debt limit crisis by giving Obama sweeping powers to order an increase in the borrowing limit. The backup measure faces furious opposition among groups like the Club for Growth and activists like blogger Erick Erickson of Redstate.com, whose opinions carry weight with many conservatives, but it's nonetheless seen as probably the most viable option for avoiding a default in two weeks.
Barring action by Congress to raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling, the Treasury will be unable to pay all the government's bills that come due beginning Aug. 3. Administration officials, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and others say the resulting default would inflict serious harm on the economy, which is still struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades.
Majority Leader Harry Reid announced that the Senate will meet each day until the issue is resolved, including weekends.
Tuesday's vote follows the collapse of a weeks-long effort to negotiate a sweeping bipartisan plan to rein in future deficits. Obama demanded that tax increases on the wealthy and selected corporations be included alongside cuts in benefit programs, but Republicans refused. It appears GOP lawmakers are still negotiating with Obama on a package of spending cuts that might be attached to the emerging Senate compromise - in which Obama is essentially awarded the power to force a $2.5 trillion increase in the debt limit unless overridden by two-thirds of both the House and Senate.

Energy CIO Brese to leave government
Monday - 8/18/2014, 11:41am EDT
Bob Brese, the Energy Department's chief information officer, is leaving government after almost 30 years for the private sector.
In an email sent to staff today, and obtained by Federal News Radio, Brese said his last day will be Sept. 5. Brese didn't say in his email where he was going next.
Energy CIO Bob Brese (File Photo)
"The timing, in my opinion, is perfect," Brese wrote to staff. "This has been a tremendous capstone year of accomplishments and it is a convenient point to turn over the implementation of the 120-day study, Assistant CIO spend plans, information resource management governance, the Joint Cybersecurity Coordination Center, cross-agency priority goals, etc. to an extremely capable team. The above items cap a long list of OCIO accomplishments over the past four years that clearly shows the quality of our people and our joint commitment to making DOE better each and every day."
Don Adcock will be the interim CIO when Brese leaves. Adcock came to Energy in April 2012 after spending more than two years as the executive director of the Army IT Agency.
"I will miss working with each of you. It has been an honor and a privilege to have been part of this great organization and to have a hand in all the improvements we have made," Brese wrote. "I can¹t think of a better way to cap off more than 30 years of combined military and federal service than to have spent the last of four of them with you."
Brese spent 22 years in the Navy as a submarine officer and spent seven years at Energy, including the last four as its CIO.
During his tenure as CIO, Brese focused on modernizing Energy's IT infrastructure through the OneNNSA network to create a technology backbone with seamless identity management and collaboration services.
Brese also led the effort to improve Energy's cyber posture by creating a Joint Cyber Coordination Effort (JC3), which reached initial operating capability in 2013 and continues to expand.
In addition to his daily CIO work, Brese also co-led the American Energy Data Challenge to introduce the public to the open data and application programming interface resources offered by DoE. One of the goals of the challenge is help the public use the data to create new tools.

Latest Very Large Array Stories
Catching the formation of a single star is a tough thing to do, and yet a large team of international astronomers has announced the discovery of four stars all forming in the same system.
Enormous young stars, which have over 10 times the mass of the Sun, shine brilliantly in ultraviolet wavelengths, energizing the gas around them, and it has long been a mystery why this superheated gas doesn't explode outwards.
Astronomers using the Very Large Array (VLA) have made a discovery that helps explain how double-star systems form.
The edge-on spiral galaxy UGC 10288 appeared to be a single object in previous observations. However, new detailed radio data revealed that the large perpendicular extension of UGC 10288's halo is really a distant background galaxy with radio jets.
As the government shutdown now enters its second week, redOrbit.com takes a look at 5 ways it's affecting the world of science.
For the first time, astronomers have identified discrete sources that account for nearly all of the radio waves coming from distant galaxies.
Astronomers say they have discovered a star factory in a galaxy so distant that they see it when the Universe was only six percent of its current age of about 13.7 billion years old.
The world was on edge earlier this month when North Korea detonated an underground nuclear explosion meant to showcase to the world community the abilities of this beleaguered nation.
On February 15, astronomers will have an exciting opportunity with a record-setting close approach of an asteroid. The research team, using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and NASA telescopes, will gain a key clue that will help predict the future of this nearby cosmic neighbor.
It has taken more than a decade of design and construction, but North America has finally delivered the last of 25 antenna dishes, marking an important milestone in the construction of an observatory astronomers are using to open up a "final frontier" of the spectrum of visible light to exploration.
Latest Very Large Array Reference Libraries
Very Large Array -- The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter. The VLA is an...
Radio Telescope -- In contrast to an ordinary telescope, which produces visible light images, a radio telescope "sees" radio waves emitted by radio sources located anywhere in the Universe, typically by means of a large parabolic ("dish") antenna, or arrays of them. The best-known (and largest) radio telescope is in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. A well-known radio telescope being an array of antennae is the Very Large Array (VLA) in Socorro, New Mexico. The largest (100-meter diameter) and most...

Portfolio Quest - Sketchbook
I'm applying for Sheridan's Illustration program (2008-2009 school year) and I was looking for some critiques as I go through the process of personal studies / working on 'submit-able' pieces.
I will just be posting my personal sketchbook work / studies as well as portfolio pieces as I complete them.
This thread was previously posted in the Critique centre but I think it is more appropriate to be here.
All critiques / comments are welcome!

Nicely done on the hands. The construction of them is great. Also think about possibly incorporating your hands with holding an object as well. Think about (hang onto your britches now) possibly combining both this assignment and the corkscrew to form one illustration.
Much MUCH more complex piece but bigger bang for the buck too.
December 28th, 2007 #8
You've really got a solid knack for mechanical drawings which will be key to developing other illustration skills. A lot of people forget how important mechanical/ technical drawing can be.
December 28th, 2007 #9
My one strong suggestion with this one is define how you want us to look at the brickwork on this building. The darkness of the bricks on the right side of the building are obviously darker to give us a sense of shadow- which is great. But then look at some of the details on the front of the church- I'd simplify that brickwork or darken the shadow brickwork just to give it a slight sense of contrast. Also think about how you want the roof to look as well- it's pretty uniform in tone; you might want to consider adding some sort of texture/ tone there as well.
Also the small brick wall closest to us- you could probably simplify the amount of detail there the way you simplified the leaves on the trees. Do we, as the viewer really need to see every bit of mortar and crevice detail on that wall? Probably not because it detracts a bit from the important stuff- the church.
It's a very subtle concept of choosing what is really important in an illustration. You are the illustrator and you control the viewers' eye. What is the most important thing you want us to see. More detail is not exactly the best thing for an illustration unless it's exactly what you want us to focus in on. Subtlety of linework or totally omitting details can be just as important in an illustration (you don't draw every strand of hair on a figure model's head- you indicate hair or selectively show the highlights & shadows).
Again, you've got some really strong stuff here. Keep up the good work!
December 28th, 2007 #10
Wow, Dave!
Thanks so much for all of the comments.
I really like the idea of drawing a hand holding the 'mechanical object' (the corkscrew) I think I will give that one a shot.
Also, thanks for all of the advice concerning the old church, I was thinking about how the roof looked 'flat' in some areas and I will definitely tweak a few things, there.
Im currently working on a still life painting that I will, hopefully, be posting soon.

Hello there,
By the sounds of it you are getting lots of good advice so forgive me if any of this is old news to me but I thought id let you in on what Ive been told about portfolios.
Well the first thing is that at the stage we are talking about here they will be far more interested in seeing that you have solid drawing skills than the will be in seeing things from your imagination so I would stick to referenced images (although the choice of image you reference is a great way to show off your imagination, find some really interesting photos or life scenes to work from if you can). I went through this process myself a couple of years ago, I kinda followed the advice I gave you (albeit somewhat begrudgingly) and it worked out great, Im now happily in my second year!
I dont fully understand when your application will be but I wish you all the best for then, those hand studies and the church show that youve clearly got what it takes

wow, that painting looks a lot worse on the computer than it does in real life.
January 16th, 2008 #27
Another update!
I feel very productive!
This is the beginning of one big portfolio piece.
What we have to for the illustration portfolio is:
"Draw a still-life of simple objects similar to a sphere, cube, and cylinder (eg: an orange, a cereal box, and a coffee mug). Now do a second drawing of the still-life but with some kind of change or transformation having taken place with the objects. This exercise is meant to test your creativity."
and for the Animation portfolio (I am applying to both programs) it is basically the same description except it must also include a cone-like object.
So this is the first stage: the basic outline of the objects (for animation i will simply trace over the image in HB, but for illustration I will probably shade the objects / give them more detail)
Any ideas about what to do as far as a 'change / transformation'? (or an 'external force'?)
(Sorry for the bad quality, the paper is too big for my scanner so i had to take a photo and you can barely see some lines)
January 19th, 2008 #28
For some reason the images in my last two posts aren't showing up properly.

You talking about how it says:

If so, after attaching them you should go to the drop-down list from the paper clip icon and click "insert all"-- If I didn't describe that well enough, there are pics on the first page of the introduction thread in the lounge.
Did that help any?

Re: Angry at my surveyor....
First, while I would only hire an accredited surveyor (SAMS, NAMS), I've become very jaded over the years that they do much of anything to insure quality control. They absolute best survey I've ever had still had notable errors and omissions.
Second, Philzy makes a good point about what would happen if they ommitted something and one was hurt by the failure. Imagine the bowsprit failing under sail and something cutting across someone on the foredeck. I can hear it now, "but she was just surveyed last month, I can't believe this happened". Wood is supposed to be hard. It grows that way. Soft is soft and not good. It's just a question of how not good.

Sports and recreation
In addition to the high-profile boxing prizefights that are frequently held in Las Vegas, as well as two major golf tournaments, the National Finals Rodeo, and various automobile races (all held in Las Vegas), spectator sports in Nevada centre on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, of the Mountain West Conference, and the University of Nevada, Reno, of the Western Athletic Conference. In recent years the latter has become a force to be reckoned with in college basketball, while the former has a longer series of basketball success, including four appearances in the Final Four of the National Collegiate Athletic Association championship tournament and one championship (1989–90). Among Nevada natives who became well-known athletes are Cy Young Award-winning pitcher Greg Maddux, tennis star Andre Agassi, and bowler Don Johnson.
The state and federal governments maintain parks, forests, historical monuments, and recreational areas. The Valley of Fire State Park, near Overton, is known for its brilliantly red sandstone formations and Native American petroglyphs. Mormon Station State Historic Park, in Genoa, is the site of the first permanent nonnative settlement in Nevada; Death Valley National Park is on the border between Nevada and California. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, with unusual high desert terrain and a spectacular multicoloured escarpment, is near Las Vegas, and Cathedral Gorge State Park, near Pioche, displays red and gold rocks that resemble church spires. Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, in east-central Nevada, includes the Jarbidge Wilderness and the Ruby Mountains. Lake Mead National Recreation Area, which contains Hoover Dam, has fishing, boating, and swimming facilities. Great Basin National Park, featuring the Lehman Caves and the Wheeler Peak area, is located near the Nevada-Utah border.
Media and publishing
Nevada's newspaper history includes Mark Twain's work as a journalist for Virginia City's Territorial Enterprise in the 1860s. Today the state's major daily newspapers are the Las Vegas Sun, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Reno Gazette-Journal, and the Nevada Appeal (published in Carson City). Reno and Las Vegas have a variety of network television stations.
Archaeological evidence indicates that prehistoric Indian settlements existed in Nevada more than 20,000 years ago. Cave dwellers left picture writings on rocks in southern Nevada, and Basketmakers and Pueblo Indians also flourished there. Explorers of the early 1800s found Mojave, Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe groups at various locations within Nevada.
Explorers and settlers
Missionaries and fur traders were in the vanguard of the exploration of the Nevada area. The missionary travels of Francisco Garcés from New Mexico to California in 1775–76 were imitated by other Spanish Franciscans. In 1825 Hudson's Bay Company trappers explored the northern and central region, and two years later Jedediah Smith led a party of American traders into the Las Vegas Valley and across the Great Basin. By 1830 the Old Spanish Trail was bringing traders to the area from Santa Fe and Los Angeles, and in 1843 and 1845 John C. Frémont's explorations with Kit Carson publicized the Great Basin and the Sierra Nevada region. During the 1840s pioneers followed the Humboldt Valley–Donner Pass route to the Pacific Coast, and the Gold Rush of 1849 greatly expanded migration through Nevada to California.
Nevada, which came within U.S. sovereignty under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848), was a part of California until it was incorporated into the newly organized Utah Territory in 1850. In 1849 a settlement was made at Mormon Station (later Genoa) in Carson Valley, but the population remained sparse until the discovery of the famous Comstock Lode in 1859. From that time on Nevada ceased to be merely a highway for gold seekers on the way to California. Virginia City became the most famous of all the Western mining camps, and the rapid influx of prospectors and settlers resulted in the organization of Nevada Territory in 1861.
The American Civil War (1861–65) gave strategic importance to the new territory. Pres. Abraham Lincoln realized that Nevada's mineral wealth could help the Union; he also needed a Northern-allied state to support proposed antislavery amendments to the Constitution and a strategic buffer zone to check Confederate advances against California from Arizona and New Mexico, whose people were sympathetic to the Southern cause. Although Nevada Territory had only about one-fifth of the population required for statehood, Congress accepted the proposed state constitution and voted for statehood in 1864.

Though you may want to shave a minute or two off your prep time by blow drying immediately post-shower, you should never skip the all-important step of applying a heat shield. Developed by hair pro Zaid Bakeer, this keratin-rich lotion makes for easier styling sessions by stopping frizz before it has the chance to ruin your day. It's great for those with unreliable curls or anyone who wants to improve their hair's texture.
I really loved this product. The sample size lasted me forever and I finally repurchased it. It gave me a lot of volume and I loved the smell. Great to use on the ends of my hair after I blow dried it to give extra moisture to dead ends. I also like to put it on the sides of my temples to give my hair some volume. So excited to incorporate this product back into my routine.5
Love this smoothing product. My hair tends to frizz and I live in a high humidity climate. It only takes a little bit of this product before blow drying and my hair gets dry faster and the frizz stays away. Cuts back on flat iron time as well, which means healthier hair!5
I love the way this product makes my hair feel and that it protects it at the same time. I actually loved the bottle it came in as a sample, but the full size packaging does not do the product justice! Because the consistency is runny, when you open the cap the product runs right out. I would love if they put it in a bottle with the cap on the top.4

Political Wrap-Up
Tuesday, July 29, 2008
Howard Fischer, chief correspondent for Capitol Media Service in Arizona, and Ron Christie, vice president of the lobbying firm DC Navigators, talk about John McCain's support for a proposed ban on affirmative action in Arizona. Then Zev Chafets, journalist and author of A Match Made in Heaven: American Jews, Christian Zionists, and One Man's Exploration of the Weird and Wonderful Judeo-Evangelical Alliance, talks about the significance of the Western Wall.
Guests:Zev Chafets, Ron Christie and Howard Fischer
Comments [20]
Barack Hussein Obama is not an African American,
like his wife Michelle Obama.
That is not his experience, his background,
his culture.
Obama's Dad was born in Kenya,
where his mother, Obama's Grandmother still
His mom, was white, from Kansas.
Obama wasn't raised in the hood,
on welfare and foodstamps, among the Bloods
and the Crips.
There will have to be another label
for Obama, because while his wife is
an African American, Obama is not.
I will vote for Obama, this fall.
I don't want to attack Iran or stay
in Iraq for 100 years.
Would like to see some affirmative action in Muslim countries for Christians...
Intriguing...should Arizona pass this law against discrimination of any kind, will its public universities be overwhelmingly populated by the very high-achieving young women we know are out there and are currently not getting into some schools that are trying to "balance" their student populations and are instead accepting less-qualified white guys? That could sure bite McCain --and I'm guessing the mostly white male legislators in Arizona -- in the you know where!
To Michael Winslow who think people who want to end affirmative action are racists-
I am a woman of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent, and I think affirmative action is insulting to minorities. It allows people to assume that the purported beneficiaries did not really earn their place in good schools. People have made that assumption about me, and I worked hard to get where I got. In some instances, affirmative action allows in people who cannot handle the rigors of good schools, making things more difficult socially for the minorites who can handle it. We need to fix the real problems, such as primary education.
Bored! White women are the people who benefit from affirmative action.
That has not been my experience. What do you base this statement on?
Dave - it might be noted that when the Jordanians took Eastern Jerusalem in 1948, scores of Jews were banished from their homes. some of those "scores of Arabs" you mention actually moved into those stolen Jewish homes. History doesn't begin in 1967.
It might be noted that, in order to clear space for a plaza by the Western Wall, scores of Palestinian Arabs, both Christian and Muslim, were forced from their homes without compensation, and their homes were demolished.
the pope john pole's prayer was published
Obama was treated like a rock star overseas, and this is all part of it. Gotta take the good with the bad.
Bored Post #7 - you are absolutely correct!
Tell your guest that sometimes the answer to a prayer is NO
Let's remember that we're talking about a section of sub-basement foundation. The equivalent of modern day cinder block wall.
How about a few minutes on NYPD heavies bodychecking bicyclists in Times Square? Somehow seems more relevant to New Yorkers than the Wailing Wall -- especially when caught on video, thus barring Bloomberg, Kelly and company from denying that it anything happened.
Re: Comment #2
It might not be that simple since it appears the proposed law only targets the Arizona state and local governments (per cnn.com). I don't know the federal affirmative action law offhand, but one shouldn't assume that the courts will allow federal gov't to force the state governments to do anything it wants
The Supreme Court, for example, first held that state government don't have to follow the federal minimum wage laws, then reversed itself a decade later (some other commenter who knows more will have to fill in the details). But there other Supreme Court cases that have held that the feds can't force a state to enforce federal gun laws or environmental laws.
This is all part of the general mess over the power of the federal government (as defined mostly in Art. I, Section 8 of the Constitution, where you find the much-discussed "Commerce Clause") and the states' 11th Amendment immunity, among other things.
White women are the people who benefit from affirmative action.
McCain supports the AZ measue- it doesn't have to do with any presidential power.
The idea that the candidates don't support "quotas" is silly: they were ruled unconstitutional long ago (in the 1978 Bakke case, I believe). Republicans have been campaigning against them as a boogey man for decades. let's not be fooled by this rhetoric.
Democratic operatives leaked Obama's private note as dirty trick #113 to burnish Obama's image as humble (i.e. non-arrogant).
Such phonies... Obama and his "team" are even more ruthless than the Clintons.
Cynicism you can believe in.
Interesting, did the Ma'ariv spokesman (whatever that means) say what the right offering price was for that approval. What does that say about one's private prayer and conversation with god? Let's all wail for the western wall, it's moral value was just cheapened.
If Affirmative Action is a Federal statute, how can McCain make a state not obey a federal law?
I don't believe he can. The State Governments govern their jurisdiction but they must submit to the Federal Government and their laws override state laws.
What McCainn is proposing is not possible.
A Ma'ariv spokesman said that "Barack Obama's note was approved for publication in the international media even before he put in the Kotel, a short time after he wrote it at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.

Scott Rosenberg in Salon:
Millions of people, including millions of science-fiction-loving kids, fell in love with "Star Wars" on its original release in 1977. I wasn't one of them. An 18-year-old bookworm who'd weaned on Heinlein and Asimov, feasted on Zelazny and Herbert, and graduated to Le Guin and Dick, I watched "Star Wars" with a sinking heart, because I knew that it would set back the cause of "real" science fiction for decades.I have to say, I can relate. Not that I had this opinion in 1977, when I was 10, but I have certainly come to it since.
The problem wasn't that "Star Wars" was in itself a bad movie; it was made with love and care, it told a decent story, it passed a couple of hours entertainingly. There was nothing shameful in itself about the way George Lucas built his saga from the spare parts of a thousand serials. But in resurrecting the old Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, E.E. "Doc" Smith tradition of space opera, with its stereotypical characters, its potboiler plots and its pseudotechnology, Lucas completely bypassed the previous 20 years' worth of evolution in science-fiction writing and moviemaking.

It's been a helluva week, and man, am I exhausted. I began coming down with a cold about eight days ago, and I ended up not just staying home from work Thursday and Friday but also lying on my sickbed doing nothing through most of the weekend. I mean, sick days are great, but being sick over a weekend sucks.
I did get out Saturday evening to see Spamalot with a huge crowd of good folks, including Laura, bobhowe, and steelbrassnwood, and I laughed so much my stomach hurt, but by the end of the evening I was swaying on my feet and had to beg off on a round of drinks.
I was still coughing and exhausted Monday morning, and I ended up working only the afternoon. I met Laura and Ella at the vet in Astoria after work, where we learned that Ella's constant chewing at her front left paw was likely because of a yeast infection between the pads. On the walk home, we stopped at Brick Cafe for a drink at the sidewalk tables, where Ella can sit with us. I had a beer, Laura a martini. Later that evening when tipsy Laura went to throw her arms around me, she missed and broke my glasses.
So large chunks of Tuesday were lost to trying to get the glasses repaired. Still waiting to hear if the break in the fram is fixable. (Don't worry I forgave Laura almost immediately, though I'm not sure she's forgiven herself yet.)

VIDEO: Karl, Kings agree on framework of deal
ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — The Kings are ready to crown a new leader. After several days of rumors, the Sacramento Bee reports that longtime NBA coach George Karl will be the next coach of the Sacramento Kings.
As Ailene Voisin writes in the Bee…
After several days of intense negotiations, George Karl has agreed to take over as Kings head coach after this weekend's NBA All-Star break, The Bee has learned.
An official announcement is expected within the next few days. Terms of the deal were not available, though Karl was seeking a four-year contract in excess of $4 million per season.
An introductory news conference will be held next week in Sacramento. Team executives are postponing the formal media session to avoid detracting from center DeMarcus Cousins' All-Star debut Sunday in New York.
Karl's first game will be next Friday, Feb. 20, against Boston at Sleep Train Arena.
The Kings fired coach Mike Malone on December 15 after starting the season 11-13. The Kings began the season 9-5, but went 2-8 while All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins was out with meningitis. Malone was replaced by Tyrone Corbin, who has since gone 7-20.
Karl last coached in Denver in 2013, when he was named Coach of the Year. His career regular season record is 1131-756, and his postseason record is 80-105. The furthest a Karl team has gone in the postseason was when he took the 1995-96 Seattle SuperSonics to the NBA Finals, where they lost the Chicago Bulls.
Karl to the Kings has been discussed for several weeks. When asked about the rumors this weekend, Cousins said, "I ain't pumped up. I've just got a lot on my mind," he said. "The crazy thing about it is, I've just got a question for y'all: How you gonna stop God's plan? How you gonna do that? How you gonna do that? That's all I want to know. How you gonna stop God's plan? The marathon continues. I'm out."

Thanks Mark! I appreciate the offer! I'll let you know =]
Hi Pris, thanks for checking things out for me, most appreciated.
After seeing the photo and reading up on the 4 in 1, I had a sneaking suspicion that it might be very like the Mars Plastic eraser, which I already use and find very effective. Staedtler also do another eraser which is similar to their Mars Plastic, called Rasoplast, but to be honest I can't really tell the difference......if anything, the Mars Plastic has the edge. Both these erasers are easily available off Fleabay or Amazon, and come in bundles for just a few dollars.
If you want to try either of these erasers and you find them difficult to get hold of, then let me know and I can send you some.
Mark, a message from another UK colored pencil artist for you :
She said : A Staedtler Mars Plastic eraser is just as good and not as expensive Pris. Bought from most Office Supply shops
Hope this helps! Good luck! Looking forward to more of your work!
Good luck Mark! A fellow CP artist in the UK managed to get some connections to get a supply of pencils etc. shipped to him. Maybe he can get the Vanish erasers too. I'll see what I can find out for you.
Hi Pris. Been checking out the General & Vanish erasers, and the only way I can get one in the UK is to import it from the US. It doesn't work out too expensive ($10-ish), and I'm very curious about the 4 in 1, so I'm going for it. I just hope our Customs & Excise pirates don't charge me for the privilege. :o)
I don't make many mistakes anymore either, but sometimes I realize I want a better angle on something or an object added for more dimension or whatever. It's nice to know that I can make those changes easier now. I'm looking forward to getting a Vanish eraser too!
Thanks for the info Pris..........gotta get me a Vanish All-in-One eraser!
I suppose I'm pretty lucky with my pics these days. Because I've been using colour pencils for so many years now, I've gained enough experience that I very rarely make mistakes any more.......well not major ones anyway. :o)
Hi Mark -
This one is made by General's. I just found it at a much better price on Jerry's and Dick Blick. I have a very light touch, but it's still hard to erase several layers of CP ( and charcoal and pastel are nearly impossible to erase!). I've tried the scraping technique, as well as other erasers I have, but so far, this is the best I've tried, even when I used the OMS first. I left the smears, but they easily erase too. When erasing on a piece, obviously we would be more careful about erasing only the area we need to. Someone else just told me about the Vanish Four in One eraser, she uses it for everything and loves the results. I found it on Jerry's. I haven't heard of it before, but it would be worth trying.
Hi Pris, very interested in the colour pencil eraser. Who makes it and what's it called?
Here's a little trick I learnt when trying to erase colour pencil. I'm quite heavy handed, so I tend to build up my colours in light layers until I've got the shades & tones right, then I'll lay down heavy final layers. As you probably already know, light layers are fairly easy to erase using putty rubber & Mars plastic, but with heavy layers it's almost impossible to remove. I've found that by gently scraping away the top layer of wax with a fresh scalpel or Stanley blade and then using the erasers, you can get quite a good result......it's still not perfect though.
Btw, I favour Mars plastic when I'm working on black board, as putty rubber tends to mark the surface.
Just thought I'd share an FYI : I found an eraser that I had not seen before. It claims to erase charcoal, pastel and colored pencil, so of course . . . I had to try it! I tried the same three pencils, in similar colors on two different papers. The Epson paper is actually for my printer and is really nice for making prints, cards, etc, but lousy at letting you erase anything, even graphite. Forgot to write it, but it is 51 #. 10 strokes across of the eraser on the Epson paper and 8 strokes across on the Strathmore. . . seems to work fairly well, even with the use of OMS first. I paid $3.99 + tax for two erasers.

I'll kick of the comments, and mention two potential enhancements brought up by the team here:
 - Add support for hiding selected data fields. For Data Entry and Data View pages, add a builder input that lists all the data fields and lets you select which fields you want to hide. This would make the common task of hiding some fields easier than applying the other builders that can do this such as Data Field Modifier and Data Field Settings.
 - Add an option for "Add Cancel Button" for Data Entry pages, and if selected, show inputs for "Cancel Button Text" and "Cancel Action".
