NEED TO KNOW | George Packer and Tom Udall on the Senate's 'empty chamber' | PBS
Duration: 15:23
Program: Need to Know #127
Broadcast Date: Nov. 5, 2010
Once thought to be the greatest deliberative legislative body in the world, the U.S. Senate is now ensnared by obstructionism and partisanship. New Yorker reporter George Packer went to Washington to find out why. This is followed by Jon Meacham's interview with New Mexico Senator Tom Udall, a Democrat who intends to initiate an effort to get the rules changed, to clear the gridlock.Tags:

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a long sleeve sweater top with an asymmetric hem. One could argue that 2012 was the year of unusual collaborations: Neiman Marcus and Target, Altuzarra for J.Crew, Rodarte and Starbucks, Adam and Chelsea. As the year comes to a close, however, these combinations that did not exactly live up to the hype or in some cases, made absolutely no sense, can quietly go their separate ways. Whether it be Target slashing prices to move that Neiman-like merchandise or Adam kissing Sharon and subsequently divorcing Chelsea, something's gotta give. Here's to hoping 2013 makes a bit more sense!

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a multi-striped sweater. Her interactions with everyone in the Newman family lately is about as cringe-worthy as the Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta holiday music video "I Think You Might Like It." Sharon's apology, much like the Grease co-stars' reunion, was highly anticipated yet extremely disappointing. And "although here comes that magic/That spell of Christmas Eve/There's nothing you can do" to stop either train wreck from happening. And in both cases, the intended audiences were not very receptive. Perhaps if Sharon had crashed the party with a classic convertible full of gifts things may have gone better for her. Just so long as she didn't break out into an awkward dance routine in the middle of some field for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a camel v-neck sweater. Gwen Stefani, Vogue's January cover girl, opens up in the issue saying she feels guilty about being a working mom. Sharon, a fellow blond, has plenty of reasons to feel guilty as well. Yes, she was a working mother at one point too when she was busy running Victor's company into the ground but now, a certain fire is likely the thing causing her many sleepless nights. Since Restless Style seems to be tanking, Sharon may not be getting her magazine cover a la Gwen but in the end, taking responsibility for her wrongdoing is probably better left out of any publication. At least that's what any decent lawyer would advise...

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a powder blue sweater. After all the time she has been spending rearranging furniture, she should be a pro by now. Maybe with her new-found interior decorating skills, Sharon can head on over to Billy and Victoria's house and bring that 1950s decor into, you know, this century. That is, if she isn't thrown in jail for burning the Newman Ranch to the ground. On the bright side, even Martha Stewart had a knack for decorating small spaces.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a brown cowl neck sweater. Since she is stowed away, doesn't V.C. Andrews' Flowers in the Attic come to mind? She's not exactly in an attic but she, much like the Dollanganger children, has to hide out after an unfortunate incident. Sharon was also lavished by expensive gifts and promised a bright future when she married Victor paralleling Corrine's deceptive behavior towards her children. True, Sharon hardly has to worry about incest and her "captor" Adam is only trying to help. However, Cathy and Chris' grandmother abuses them and one can argue Ms. Newman was emotionally abused by those closest to her. Even the words "arson" and "arsenic" sound remarkably similar. Interesting, right?

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a gray drape open back sweater. As she wanders around the cabin thinking she's losing her mind, one can't help but hope for a Cabin in the Woods twist of sorts. Although Sharon may feel alone and quite isolated, fingers crossed for the sake of her killer sweater that she is under some sort of observation. Too bad like most horror movie stereotypes, it looks like she will learn too late that it is never really safe to go to a cabin in the middle of the woods, now is it?
Many thanks to the show's wardrobe department for informing me that her sweater is by All Saints and that Sharon is actually wearing it backwards. How's that for a twist? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to track down the exact sweater but here is a similar one.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a sweater. After surveying the Newman Ranch that she burned to the ground, it's quite obvious she decided to fight fire with fire. Literally. Sharon extinguishes all dreams of independence and revenge as she realizes the extent of her actions. Yes, the Newmans have burned her in the past but when they learn it was her that set the ranch on fire, something tells me they will be all fired up.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a gray cardigan with front pockets and ribbed sleeves. First she's a kleptomaniac, then she's a pyromaniac, now she's an amnesiac. What's next, will she regress to a full-out maniac? Sharon certainly has endured her share of troubles as of late but instead of making insane decisions, she should imagine her future (with Adam). You know, one filled with rainbows, puppy dogs, and unicorns where they live happily ever after and nobody burns their glorious castle to the ground.

on this episode of the young and the restless, sharon wears a beige double-breasted jacket. if she was a poet, she would likely be e.e. cummings as both have unconventional ways of going about life and aren't afraid to tackle controversial subject matters headfirst. cummings marched to the beat of his own drum choosing to forgo capitalization in his work. similarly, sharon has a knack for fighting common sense, choosing to bypass all logic. if anything, sharon can look to cummings for a bit of advice, "it takes courage to grow up and be who you really are." at least she has the wardrobe part down.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a maroon sweater top. Poor woman is rivaling Teresa Giudice on who is the most delusional. Both women have a penchant for feather dresses, are busy losing friends left and right, and have turned a blind eye to their husbands' infidelities (allegedly). The difference between the two, besides blond vs brunette, is that Teresa would have happily taken Nikki's money and skipped town. As for Sharon, she could have taken a lesson or two from the Jersey Housewife's playbook. Flipping the table Nikki was busy writing the check on? Now that in combination with this spectacular top would have made for television gold.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a beige sheer striped sweater and a clutch. Admit it, if she was on this season of Survivor, she would be the Lisa Whelchel. Sharon, like Lisa, is the blond everyone used to love and admire but now, is the town (or island's) very own pariah. Both women have endured breakdowns, have undergone recent divorces, and are pretty much incapable of outwitting, outplaying, or outlasting. The tribe has already spoken for Sharon when the Newman family kicked her out of her cushy CEO position at the company. Only time will tell how much longer Lisa's torch will remain lit.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a white feather dress. She may have missed her calling as an event planner because no one throws a funeral quite like this rare bird does. Her cheerful invitations by text, her grand entrance in white feathers, and the fact Sharon killed two birds with one stone by scheduling her wedding on the same day (in the same church) prove she's as crazy as a loon. The shocked members of the Newman family undoubtedly think she is a bird brain and this event will likely be her swan's song. When Victor returns to town, he'll clip her wings and she'll be forced to eat crow. As for Sharon's goose? It will be as good as cooked.
She is wearing the Lela Rose Chiffon Draped Bodice with Embroidered Feather Skirt pictured below. It retailed for $2,495.00 but is no longer available.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a maroon dress. At this point, anything she does should surprise exactly no one. From talking to a dead body to lying about the identity of the cadaver, she's making June Shannon and her band of crazies look sane. Lest we forget Honey Boo Boo's family members are all nicknamed after animals and the family's pet pig Glitzy has the most normal name of all. Speaking of insane ideas, maybe what Sharon should do is sign Faith up for some Toddler and Tiara beauty pageants. That way, she could channel the crazy into being the best dressed stage mother imaginable. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Sharon Newman's Dress.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a black and blue colorblock blazer. When Tucker shows her the photo of Victor with the nun, who is arguably more age-appropriate for the billionaire, she gets quite the blow. Sure, Sharon's ego is about as black and blue as her jacket but if nothing, she has proven time and time again that she is a fighter. Maybe it's time for her to trade her ring in for some boxing gloves because it looks like Nick and Victoria will stop at nothing. Too bad she can't fight them with this knockout of a jacket.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a gray peplum dress. Face it, her release from Fairview is causing as much excitement and drama as the release of the new iPhone 5. Both Sharon and the phone are tall and thin, have trouble taking directions, and have media outlets buzzing. Moreover, both are causing their respective company stocks to fluctuate. While the iPhone has already proven to be a bona fide hit, Sharon's track record is still pretty questionable. Yes, an Apple a day keeps the doctor away but so should a pretty peplum dress.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a yellow dress. Does Sharon remind anyone of Emily Maynard? Both bubbly blonds constantly have people critiquing their parent skills; Sharon chooses to voluntarily check herself into a mental institution while Emily signs up for a several week long stint of traveling around the globe as the Bachelorette, which is arguably a show filled with plenty of crazies. Both women have also been engaged a handful of times each and most importantly, the two seem to have an endless supply of covet-able clothes. Emily rose to the occasion and has handled all of the recent media scrutiny like a champ. That being said, it'll be interesting to see if Sharon will follow suit.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a purple cashmere sweater. As she checks into the institution for evaluation, one can't help but hope for a Shutter Island twist of sorts. You know, where she pulls a DiCaprio and truly believes she's sane when in reality, she's been imagining the last couple of months (if not years). I've even taken the liberty of coming up with a handy dandy anagram for her name and everything. Behold, crazy Sharon Newman is "Ronna Newsham." Hopefully, nobody orders her to be lobotomized at the end of all of this. And with that, the chief closing question of the movie should be posed because it is rather applicable to Sharon's new BFF Daisy, who in a surprising turn of events, is actually alive. "Which would be worse? To live as a monster, or die as a good [person]?"

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a white peplum dress. What good is it for her stealing concert tickets and a photo ID? One would think by her kleptomaniac patterns, she's an underage teenager attempting to hit up some bars before seeing a controversial band her parents disapprove of. If Sharon's going to insist on taking things, she may as well take a cue from Winona Ryder and go to town inside a Barney's. The actress's reasoning for her habit was "for a role" but if you think about it, can't the trophy wife say it is her job to "look good" as well? Let's get serious, it's not as if she is the one really running Newman Enterprises or anything. Tucker took the reigns on that one as soon as Victor flew to Los Angeles and became a "born again" Christian.

Cozy is very accurate. We had been camping for a week and this place was exactly what we needed. Quiet, clean, and chilly from the AC. Ian was very welcoming and helpful. Located in a nice neighborhood nearby amazing places to eat.
My dog, Mookie, and I were grateful that we were able to stay with Ian and his wonderful family. Their house was perfect for our short visit. Their dog Grace was such a sweet gentle soul, and it was fun for her to visit with us in the back yard. The bedroom and basement was a great set up. It truly felt like Home :).
I didn't see much of our hosts since I was out early and in late, but the few interactions were very pleasant.
This was my second experience using Airbnb, and I would definitely stay with Ian and his family again, if given the opportunity.
The space is very true to the pictures, spacious, private and comfortable!
Ian was an amazing host, we loved our stay in the basement space. It was a super comfortable and private space, could've happily stayed longer. The location is perfect, nice and close to everything and heaps of on street parking.
Ian was a great host! He has a lovely family and a very well-mannered dog. They made us feel at home and helped us feel welcome. Our little dog loved playing with and teasing their big dog Grace, and she was so patient and fun. Living there for a month was very comfortable and relaxing. We loved the front door code lock that allowed us to come and go without a key. It was great to be able to use their kitchen if we ever wanted to cook something, and they totally left the basement to us (except of course to do laundry, but then it was just down and back up). It was the most homey way to spend our time between moves! We had a couch and living area with a big TV, a bathroom with a shower and medicine cabinet, and a bedroom with a nice dresser and closet with hangers. Everything we could ask for and more. Thank you Ian and family!!
Ian and his wife were friendly, laid-back, and helpful. Their home and room were exactly as described, clean and comfortable. Centrally located and easy to find, and close to a lot of cool SLC neighborhood spots. It was a great stopover on the way to Moab and I slept very well.
We loved Ian's place. The basement was very private and the accommodations were exactly as described. The house is in a very walkable area of town. Would absolutely stay again!
About the Host, Ian
Being a father of two adorable daughters takes up the majority of my free time.What's left over I spend in the mountains skiing in the winter and biking in the summer. We love family hikes, and spend a lot of time in the mountains surrounding Salt Lake. Time spent indoors is usually in front of my computer playing games, around the table playing board games, or reading a good book.
We love traveling as well and go on at least one big trip a year. We like the mountains of course, heading up north in the summer to Wyoming or Montana. But we also love the beach and try to get to the pacific every couple of years.

A data network may comprise routers for transmitting data between locations in the network via alternative routes. A network gateway or server may normally send data packets to a particular default router but, for network communication recovery, the gateway needs to select a new default route if the first goes down. The recovery method of this invention comprises storing information indicative of respective ones of a plurality of said alternative routes; accessing the stored information to identify a first of said routes; directing data to the router means for the data to be transmitted to the said another location via the first route; sensing failure of said transmission and, in the event of such failure, accessing said stored information to identify a second of said alternative routes; and directing data to the router means for the data to be transmitted to the said another location via the second route. Ideally, the method includes storing information indicative of the failure of any of said alternative routes and, before directing data to the router means, accessing said stored information to identify said routes in turn until one is identified that is not indicated as having failed.
1. In a computer which is connected via a router to a computer network at a first location in the network for enabling the computer to transmit data to another location in the network, a method for controlling the transmission of said data comprising:
a) storing, by the computer, a number of addresses for respective ones of a plurality of;
b) accessing the stored addresses by the computer to identify one of said routers;
c) directing data to the identified router for the data to be transmitted to the other location;
d) sensing, by the computer, failure of said transmission by the identified router;
e) setting, by the computer, a transmission-failure indication recording a transmission failure by the identified router;
f) identifying, responsive to the transmission failure, a next one of the routers, including the step of:

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling transmission of data to destinations in a computer network, for example a local or wide area network or a network of networks such as the Internet, via router means that provides alternative routes to such destinations.
The apparatus of the invention generally comprises a computer operating as a network server or a network gateway and should be connected to one or more networks, having two or more routers acting as a gateway to connect this computer to other networks.
The computer has, loaded into its memory, an operating system which is associated with the data transmission protocol TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). TCP is a transport layer protocol which provides a connection oriented, reliable, byte stream service. Another transport layer protocol is the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) which does not provide a reliable service and is usually incorporated in the TCP/IP protocol suite. IP is a network layer protocol, which together with TCP or UDP ensures the proper transmission of data over a TCP/IP network.
The operating system may be a Unix-like system such as "BSD", e.g. version 4.4 of BSD, which is a well known operating system specifically designed for network applications by Berkeley University and presently commercially available from Berkeley Systems Development.
2. Related Prior Art
U.S. Pat. No. 5,941,955 to Wilby and Quintela discloses a distributed data structure formed by a hierarchical network of routers forming a series of end nodes each linkable one to another via a number of intermediate or "parent" nodes. The possibility of each end node being linked to two alternative parent nodes is illustrated in association with the possibility of the link between one end node and one of its parents (the default parent node to which data is normally sent) becoming broken. If such a break occurs, this is sensed by the end node which then transmits data to the other parent node.
Wilby and Quintela disclose one scheme for arranging how the transfer of data occurs. In fact, one basic tenet of the Internet is that it should be able to recover from failure of one part of it and that when necessary two Internet locations should be able to link up via alternative routes. This aspect of internetworking is handled by the various transmission protocols in association with the routers and the operating system of the gateway or server.
This invention has for one of its objects the provision of an improved method and apparatus for network transmission control at the protocol/operating system level.
According to the invention, there is provided a data transmission control method, and computer apparatus using such method, for a network comprising router means for enabling the computer to transmit data to another location in the network via alternative routes. In the method and apparatus information indicative of the alternative routes is accessed so as to identify a first of said routes. Then the data is passed to the router means with the router means controlled so that the data to be transmitted to the said another location goes via the first route assuming that this route is not broken. In the event of such route failure, the stored information is accessed to identify a second of said alternative routes and the computer directs the data to the router means for the data to be transmitted to the said another location via the second route.
Advantageously, whilst failure of said transmission via the first route is sensed, said data is retransmitted a pre-set plurality of times before the second route is identified.
The router means may comprise a plurality of routers to which said computer is connected and said route indicative information comprises the network addresses of respective ones of the routers.
Preferably, the method includes storing information indicative of the failure of any of said alternative routes and, before directing data to the router means, accessing said stored information to identify said routes in turn until one is identified that is not indicated as having failed.
The computer may be under the control of a program including an operating system and an associated data transmission protocol, data identifying a pre-set list of default routes, and a plurality of program sub-routines including sub-routines for splitting said data into packets including destination and routing headers, transmitting said data packets and retransmitting them a pre-set number of times if the transmission is not successful, and for causing said routing headers to identify a further one of said default routes if the existing one has failed.
For a better understanding of the invention, and to show how the same may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example to the accompanying drawing, the single FIGURE of which is a simplified diagrammatic view of a networked computer system and which may represent a physical system or a logical arrangement in which the different items are provided in or by different physical items.
The drawing shows a network with computer A, acting as a network server or a gateway, that is on a LAN (local area network) 1, and may also be associated with other similar LANs (say LAN 2). The computer A will be associated with two or more gateways (R1, R2, R3, etc) which may be in any of the LANs to which computer A is connected to. Each of these routers will in turn associate the computer A to other networks, represented as network 3. The network 3 is only representative of what might be a very complex communication system leading to other people's computers and network.
The computer A has a memory loaded with an operating system such as 4.4 BSD supplied by Berkeley Systems development (some version of it is available elsewhere including version which are available for downloading from the Internet). 4.4 BSD includes or is associated with the TCP/IP protocol suite. This protocol suite together with the operating system comprise of a series of sub-routines that can be called into action when needed. When data is transmitted by computer A, it is delivered into the associated LAN in the form of packets, each comprising a section of the data and a header, which among other information, comprises the destination IP address and the target hardware address, which determines the route along which the packet will travel.
The computer A will be initially configured so as to have a list of addresses of routers (R1, R2, R3, etc) to be in it's list of default route entries. When forming any data packet that the TCP/IP protocol suite will use the default route, this list is accessed and the first default route entry is identified. Then, when TCP data is to be transmitted, it is converted into data packets, each made up with a header that will have the hardware address information of the first default route in the list. Transmission is monitored by the TCP/IP protocol suite, and if it does not receive an acknowledgement for the transmitted packet within a particular period of time, it assumes that the packet did not reach the destination and retransmits the data packet for a chosen number of times. If the transmission remains unsuccessful, the entry identifying the first default router in the list is flagged as not being available. The software controlling the computer comprises a sub-routine which accesses the router list entries in turn and also checks to see if the unavailable flag is not set for that router also, and then makes the address of this router available for making up further packet headers, i.e. the packet are now sent to the new router. When any TCP application that goes through a default router has attempted 4 retransmits, this implementation assumes that the router has gone down and switches the default router for the whole machine to the next default router that the administrator has configured. The proposed implementation is achieved in a sub-routine that is used by both TCP as well as UDP. In effect, if TCP has identified a default route as having gone down, the UDP protocol will also see this route as having gone down and this by default will achieve default route recovery for USP datagrams also by picking up a default route that has not failed.
4.4 BSD comprises a series of functions or sub-routines such as "in_losing( )" and "tcp_output( )" that will be referred to below. The names of sub-routines are recognisable by being enclosed in double quotes and having brackets ( ) at the ends.
In the current 4.4 BSD stack, when TCP attempts to retransmit a packet for more than 4 times, it assumes that the route is bad and calls "in losing( )" that will release the cached route (if any) associated with the Internet Protocol Control Block (inpcb). This is done assuming that the next attempt to retransmit the segment by "tcp_output( )", will hopefully associate a new and better route.
In the present invention, if the current connection goes through a default route and it had attempted 4 retransmits, before the stack calls "in_losing( )" a flag "DF_RTTO" is set with this route entry, signifying that the default route had 'timed-out'. The next call to "rtalloc( )" to associate a new route, will check for this flag and return a pointer to an alternate route entry if it had been configured.
This implementation effectively does the default route recovery and can be implemented in under 15 assembly instructions. Also, this code of checking for the flag is done in the "rtalloc( )" function, which is also used by UDP to find a route associated with it's connection. This makes the default route recovery also applicable to UDP.
In the "tcp_timer( )" function for the case "TCPT_REXT" corresponding to the TCP retransmission timeout, before the call to "in_losing( )", a check is done to see if the route associated has the "RFT_GATEWAY" flag set. If yes, this route is associated with a default router and a flag "DF_RTTO" is also associated with this route.
The next call to "tcp_output( )" makes a call to "rtalloc( )" to find a new route for this TCP connection. If it finds the "DF_RTTO" flag set, it will pick up any other default route that does not have this flag set (if there are any). As a result, the TCP connection will continue to be maintained (assuming the new route is functioning fine).
The following description explains the implementation according to the invention compared to prior art working of BSD TCP/IP. Pseudo-language and comments are used (between "/**/" symbols) to make things more understandable.
There are multiple routers on a LAN segment. In the existing BSD implementation, only one of them can be configured to be the default router. If however this router goes down for any reason, all TCP and UDP connections that use this default router for data transmission wilt fail to maintain the connection, resulting in the dropping of the established connections.
In the BSD implementation according to the invention, when a TCP data segment does not get acknowledged within a pre-set retransmit interval, the retransmission timer expires and the stack attempts to retransmit packets for a maximum of 12 (TCP_MAXRXTSHIFT) times, before dropping the connection. There is no attempt to recover from the default router failing, in spite of multiple default routers being connected to the same LAN.
The Pseudo-code in a BSD stack will be:
Steps 1 through 8 describe the path taken by the BSD TCP/IP stack.
In the event of the default router (or the link to/from it) going down for some reason, the stack attempts retransmits and by step 3 it frees the cached route associated with it. The next call to "tcp_output" (step 4) will ultimately result in the assigning of the same route entry (step 8) with this connection. Since the default router is still down, by step 2, the connection is dropped.
The implementation according to the invention basically attempts to recover from the failure of this default router by attempting to assign a new default router with this connection. The BSD TCP/IP stack should be modified to permit the administrator to list the IP addresses of multiple default routers by allowing the corresponding list of route data structures to be maintained as a simple linked list of default route entries.
The logic of implementation according to the invention is presented below:
Step (A): In step 3, before the call to "in_losing", a flag DF_RTTO is set with this failed route (if it happens to be a route associated with the default router).
Step (B): In step 8, a check is made to see if the DF_RTTO flag is set before returning the route entry that was looked up by the "rtalloc1" function. If the flag is set, the entries in the list of default routes are read in turn until a route that does not have this flag set is found. That is, a route that has so far not failed is associated with the connection and hence effecting fault recovery of the default router.
The implementation of Step A and Step B uses as little as 15 assembly instructions. Also, the "rtalloc" function used in Step B is common to both the TCP and UDP protocol. Hence the implementation according to the invention makes fault recovery for both TCP as well as UDP.
It will be understood that the foregoing description is given for exemplary illustrative purposes only and does not limit the invention which is defined solely by the following claims. In particular, it will be understood that the drawing is not intended to be limitative of the invention but is applicable to other network arrangements and architectures.

The undisputed ruler of the curl universe, Miss Jessie's® developed this silky shampoo for girls with stubborn ringlets, natural kinks, or parched hair. While it's especially coveted by the curly crew, our experience confirms that it's great for hair of all types and textures. It instantly detangles even the most intricate knots, leaving your strands sleek and uber-manageable.
This is the best shampoo that I have found for my fine, wavy, hair. I have always had issues with detangling, and at some points in my life, just cut the knots out of my hair. I am also on several medications that cause hair loss, which have caused my hair to become more prone to breakage, and Super Slip seems to help with that issue. I also love the apple smell.5
This shampoo is unlike anything I've ever used. It's elastic in nature, almost like you're putting very thin silly putty on your hair. That said, it does just what it promises, which is to make your hair slippery and to help detangle it. It takes a little bit of effort to get it to work, but it is worth it to help get out knots.4
I love using this product! It takes so much time off of my hair care regimen. This shampoo is super gooey and cleanses very well and immediately detangle my thick curly hair. I can easily detangle while using this product and go straight into styling after conditioning instead of spending up to an hour trying to comb out knots. Also it prevents excessive hair loss.5
Very slimy!! Strange consistency, strange smell, strange overall shampoo. I purchased it because of the reviews and claims of detangling. I have very thick hair that tangles alot when washing. I really didn't notice any detangling effects using this shampoo. It felt like it was hard to rinse out as well. Not a fan.3
I have naturally curly thin color treated hair . I have tried a ton of products for my hair and this has to be my favorite shampoo. I love the smell reminds me of fruity candy. I love the suds, it sounds silly, but I love being able to wash my hair and have it feel like actual shampoo unlike many products for curly hair that are no poo. My hair feels nice and clean and smells great too.5

Use diatomaceous earth to kill sand fleas in the home, yard or garden. This naturally occurring compound dries out the sand fleas and kills them within a few days. Apply food-grade diatomaceous earth in infested areas as a safe alternative to chemical pesticides.Know More
Sprinkle diatomaceous earth on dry sand and dirt, as it does not work as effectively in moist areas. For indoor fleas, apply a bit of diatomaceous earth on the carpets, and let it stand for 24 hours. Apply it overnight to prevent lifting the earth from the carpet as you walk.
In outdoor areas, let the diatomaceous earth blend in with the dirt, where it can continue to work. Indoors, use a vacuum to remove the diatomaceous earth from the carpet. Go over the area a few times to ensure you remove all the diatomaceous earth and fleas.
Apply diatomaceous earth to outdoor areas that continue to develop sand flea infestations. Indoors, sprinkle diatomaceous earth in corners, along walls and in other places where fleas can hide. Re-treat the entire carpet each night if the flea infestation persists, and vacuum the area to remove dead fleas and eggs.
To get rid of fleas on a puppy, bathe the puppy, comb it with a flea comb, vacuum the carpets frequently, wash infested items, and apply flea products with insect growth regulators. If the problem persists, talk to a veterinarian about prescription medication options.Full Answer >
To get rid of fleas, wash your pet, clean exposed bedding, vacuum floors and apply a flea solution around the yard. A flea comb, dish soap and a bowl of water are necessary for washing the animal. Foggers for the home may be required as well.Full Answer >
To control fleas, vacuum the infested areas, wash pet bedding, bathe pets in flea shampoo and spray the affected areas of the home with an indoor insecticide. It is necessary to remove fleas from both the pet and the home on the same day to get rid of the fleas quickly, and the flea-killing routine should be continued for at least two weeks to eliminate the infestation.Full Answer >
To get rid of fleas on dogs, comb them regularly with a fine-toothed flea comb, wash them with flea shampoo, and fit them with a flea collar. This process takes about one hour and must be repeated frequently until the dog is free of fleas, flea larvae and flea eggs. The required supplies are a flea collar, a flea comb, flea shampoo, towels, dish detergent, a bowl, water and a bathtub.Full Answer >

I used to have a visceral reaction in my gut when I heard people talk about love like this. It made no sense to me and it rubbed the academic in me the wrong way.
I still agree that the world has pain, betrayal, and broken hearts, but it's also full of a lot more than that. Not everyone I meet is cold and jaded, not every experience I have is a negative one.
Life consists of what a person is thinking about all day. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life consists of what a person is thinking about all day. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Over the last several months, I've taken a good long look at the person staring back at me in the mirror and asking what it is she was so afraid of.
In the past, some of these things included:
Fear of giving up my eating disorder
Fear of letting go of an unhealthy relationship because I was scared I'd never find someone else
Fear of applying to my dream university for my undergraduate degree
Fear of putting myself out there and being around people
Fear of rejection
Fear of failure
Fear of imperfection
I spent so much of time and energy being enveloped by fear that I came up with excuse after excuse to not live. Somewhere along the line I made the choice that sacrificing my authenticity was a good alternative to being uncomfortable and vulnerable because I put myself out there.

If you want the whole thing, the gods will give it to you. But you must be ready for it. --Joseph Cambell
What happens when you abandon who you really are and the life you really want to live is that you feel it. You walk around every day with that nagging feeling that this is all wrong. You know that you don't want to be in this job, you know that you need to get out of that relationship or you want in another one, you know that there's something more out there for you and yet you stay where you are.
It's a lot easier to stay miserable or unhappy than it is to try and heal all your emotional baggage so you can move forward. The question you have to ask yourself is: Is it still worth it?
Sometime last fall, I decided it wasn't. Walking around London with my best friend last October helped me remember that I want more out of life, and that started with cutting off the dead limbs, as painful as it was, and moving on.
It was damn difficult but oh how thrilled I am that I took that first step.
I cut off and cut out the people and parts off my life that no longer served me and almost immediately, new people with kinder hearts showed up.
I decided that I was no longer going to live with depression, so I took the steps I needed to create a healthier mental environment, and today I'm happier than I have ever been.
What I learned about fear is this:
When I act from a place of fear, I over think. Instead of just letting life, actions, and words flow from a genuine and natural space within me, I try to force my way through the world. That happens a lot to me on the blog; I tend to get fearful about what other people will say or think and wonder whether or not what I'm saying is helping anyone.
What I've learned is that when I let it all flow from me, when I act from a place of self-love and love for others, the message that needs to be conveyed will come out and those who need to hear it will find it. Judging myself is not going to help anyone.
Anybody can learn to make that shift from acting from a place of fear to acting from a place of love. What that really means is that you have decided to be courageous and to act in spite of fear, not because of it.
Fear will still come up, you just have to decide how to use it and when to use it. When I feel fear (and I feel it very viscerally in my gut), I know that something is pushing a button of mine. When I feel fear, I use it as a sign to be introspective and ask myself what's going on. Then I get to make a decision to act on fear, which generally keeps me feeling small, unimportant, and powerless, or I choose to act from love, which keeps me feeling hopeful, powerful, and strong.

AUBURN, Ala. - Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley says GE Aviation plans to upgrade its manufacturing capabilities in Auburn.
Bentley said in a statement Tuesday that it will make the Auburn plant the first of its kind to mass produce additive components for the jet propulsion industry.
The governor said GE will invest $50 million in the existing 300,000-square-foot facility to prepare for the additional work.
Bentley said production of additive components will begin in 2015.
The governor said the plant will also continue to manufacture precision, super-alloy machined parts for jet engines.
GE has hired more than 70 people at the Auburn facility since it opened in April 2013.
Bentley said that based on current demand for jet engines, GE expects to hire 300 people when the plant is fully operational later this decade.

It has a convenient location, the rooms were really good, everything was clean.
The staff. They were much less friendly than the staff of the other hotels at the same trip. My feeling is that they were there to follow procedures, not to help you have a great experience.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Beds were sooooooooo comfortable. Pretty quiet area and easy to find. Location was very close to Needle and restaraunts. Shower heads were high tech and had nice pressure. There was an AC!
View away from the needle was meh. No breakfast, or did I miss it? Hallways were short and spooky. Er... Our window was a couple of floors above the hotel's trash compactor.
Would stay again. Looks like the building needs a pressure wash from the outside. There is a Restaraunt inside the hotel "Brella's" but we didn't get to try it. Many bus lines in walking distance.

Loathing in Las Vegas

So I decided to have lunch at the Delmonico Steak house while in Vegas this last weekend. Nice place, great food, one of Emeril Lagasse's places. Rather than wait for a table I decide to eat at the Bar, since I was solo that was no problem. On the wall behind me is a nice 45" or so flat panel displaying CNN or some other news station, it could have been HDTV OTA, not 100% sure tho. From 20' out tho I keep seeing this swirling black 'blotch' in the lower right. At first I think I'm fooling myself, surely even the proprietors of an upscale restaurant wouldnt ruin an $8k+ flat panel with burn in, would they? Sure enough, I get up and go across the room and take a look, and there it is, clear as day, permanently etched: the 'ESPN' logo. D'oh!!!! So I yell back over to the bartender 'Heh, you folks watch a bit of ESPN around here eh?'. You can just see the guy grimace too, like a kid with a broken toy. Seems that they have a mandate from the management to have the War coverage on now, and only just noticed the burn in a few days ago, since they hadnt changed the channel once before then, since the panel was installed. My opinion is that its criminal that the stations are allowed to get away with those logos tho. They KNOW they will be responsible for ruining a good number of sets, even those owned by people who should know better. Sam

It works I can feel the difference on top end and throttle response is much better.
Reviewed By Nick M (Gresham, OR) Reviewed for a 2000 Chevy Monte Carlo —4/24/2009 11:36 PM
My dad found this for me because I was looking to get a little more out of my 2000 Monte Carlo SS. This is a great price compared to other programmers. The shipping took longer than "3 business days," and the installation took a long time. The instructions were mediocre, so a Chilton manual helps for the wiring diagrams, and tapping into the sensors was difficult with the included plugs. Overall I got a lot more performance and gas mileage out of my Monte Carlo, and the monitor function is cool to have.

Works great. Feels a lil cheesy. The 91 octane tune is great. Couldn't resist the price at auto anything. The time it took to write a tune was about ten minutes. So much more you can do with it. I would recommend it.

I stayed at this hotel for one night on a business trip and was extremely pleased. The gentleman at check-in was charming, polite and helpful. I had a question about areas with running trails and he directed me to a couple of options. The room was large, clean and comfortable. I found the bed to be extremely comfortable although a few of my colleagues found them to be a little too firm. The attached restaurant also had great service and excellent food. I also hit up the restaurant for breakfast the next morning and the buffet was more than worth the few bucks they charge.
The only slight complaint I have is that the sliding doors in the rooms let quite a bit of noise through and so I could definitely hear the traffic throughout the night but a little background noise isn't the end of the world for me.
Overall I would highly recommend this hotel. It isn't directly in the center of things but it's only a few minutes drive to the center of downtown. The stretch of beach the hotel is located on is gorgeous and the service was impeccable.

About the ManufacturerThe Revol story began in Saint-Uze, in the heart of France's Rhone Valley, in 1789. In a region of France known for its red sandstone, brothers Joseph-Marie and Francois Revel started to manufacture a much harder-wearing white stoneware from local mineral deposits. A few years later, the Revol factory developed a non-porous formula that could be enameled in various colors; this went on to become the benchmark of fine porcelain. Since then, the Revol name has been closely linked with porcelain production. By remaining a family-owned company for 11 generations, Revol has preserved and reinforced its values and originality, while constantly advancing the art of porcelain.

Great quality
Running Foodie from South Bend, IN
Wayfair gave me the opportunity to review some products and these were one of the items I chose. The quality is very good and I bought this size to match another set I had purchased. The ramekins are light but you know the porcelain will hold up. If greased properly and cleaned shortly after using, clean up won't be a problem. (I made a molten chocolate cake that I didn't wash out until the next day, and even then it wasn't too difficult to wipe them clean.) They are a bit pricey, but you can be assured that you're paying for a well-made ramekin.
One of the BEST values for the money

I use this product to make and serve individual souffles, serve individual desserts and fruit. They look very nice on the table with ANY dinnerware. Easy to clean.....a wise purchase.

Here's a link for an electronic version of the manual, straight from Ruger (free .PDF):
and you can click this link for a list of videos and websites that will show or describe how to do it:
I'd recommend going slow, following the instructions carefully, and doing it a couple of times to get used to it. Every step is important (even the "insert magazine, remove magazine" parts). After you know how to do it and what to look for when there is a problem (almost always it's the hammer strut, not in the right position in the mainspring housing), you probably won't have any problems. It's when folks only do it annually or less often (they shoot the gun until it stops shooting, THEN decide to clean it) that they have a lot of problems.
