I wish I'd started using sweet almond oil sooner. I would have saved a bundle on more expensive products that don't come close to the benefits I get from this oil. I use sweet almond oil after a shower, sometimes mixing with a bit of body moisturizer. I also use it on my face at night and am astounded how well it moisturizes without breaking me out. I have gotten clogged pores with other products that contain silicones, but sweet almond oil not only moisturizes better than any product I've used before, it never breaks me out. My skin can be both dry and oily but since I've been using this, it's become more normal. I find that I need fewer blotting sheets throughout the day AND, I have fewer dry patches. It truly has helped normalize my skin. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

I'm LOVING Sweet Almond Oil (SAO).
Over the past year I've been experimenting with both Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) & SAO as a make-up remover, cleanser & moisturizer, but felt EVOO was too thick and did not absorb well or quick enough to be a daily a.m. moisturizer. I read that SAO was lighter so I switched.
For make-up removal (mascara too) and as OCM, I use several drops of SAO and massage it around my face, then use a warm washcloth to remove. Then I use 2 drops for moisturizing my face and neck. It absorbs within a minute or two, and like the poster before, if I apply this at night I wake with plumper, more glowing skin. I have not experienced any break-out pimples from using this (monthly hormonal pimples don't count).
After reading some of the other posters comments, I decided to try 2 drops on my towel-dried hair. I noticed when blowdrying, my hair dried much faster and is styling better too. After I blow-dry, I use a hot air brush to smooth & style. I won't say that it is a miracle worker as I've only used it twice on my hair, so I can't comment on the long term effects, good or bad.
I purchased a bottle of the De La Cruz brand from CVS drugstore (see uploaded picture #2). I found it in the Hispanic health section. The price was around $3.00 US. I'm enjoying research & experiment with natural products like home-made sugar scrubs, pinch of baking soda mixed with shampoo as a clarifier, etc. Next I'd like to play around with other oils (coconut, avocado, jojoba, etc.).

This oil works great as a moisturizer for the body. It soaks right in and provides just the right amount of moisture without being oily. A drop of this oil also works great to defrizz hair before and after blow drying. One drop is enough for even long hair. This oil works much better on hair than jojoba oil, which I found to be too oily.

I really liked my Almond Oil, until I realized it was breaking me out. :( I prefer EVOO to this because it's more multi purpose since I can use it on my face as well. However, Almond Oil is a still a great oil and I like using it for removing eye makeup and in my hair. I tried using it on my lashes to help them grow but it didn't help with that. ( I already have really long lashes though and nothing helps them grow any longer ). So overall, this is a great oil, but I'm dissapointed it broke me out. If you find EVOO too heavy for you. Give almond oil a whirl! Hopefully you won't break out the way I did.

HOLY MACKEREL! How come the world doesn't know about this?
I have used anything and everything under the sun for YEARS.
I have mild adult acne, big pores, reddish tones. And the other day, in a fit of surrender, I gave up on everything. Bye bye dermalogica. Bye bye expensive products. Bye bye clean and clear and all you inexpensive products - I'm sold on oil cleansing. Holy wow.
I started out using this and for the past two days, I can't stop staring at my skin. What's going on? My pores have shrunk, my skin is clear and glowing. I look five years younger. Ten!!
I'm combining this with a few things and experimenting, but trying to keep it as simple as possible - so I'll wash with just plain baking soda (which also exfoliates) or some ground ginger powder (which you can also use as a mask and also exfoliates) and, if I'm washing my face at night and I have makeup on, I'll use DHC cleansing oil.
Then, what I do is take a bit of Sweet Almond oil, dab it all over my face, massage it a bit, and use a *really* hot wash cloth and hold it up to my face to steam it (you can also do this in a hot shower) to get my pores open. I haven't even been wearing my MAC mineral foundation. This is wild!
Since I've always had big pores and blackheads, I also started using a bit of bentonite clay and I make a masque of it with apple cider vinegar. I'm going to do that twice a week.
Everyone should try this. I even use it under my eyes, and because it has some vitamin E oil in it, the results are truly amazing!

Good for use as a waterproof mascara remover or rub a tiny amount between your palms and smooth it through dry hair ends to control static flyaways. Can also be added before you blow dry for a mini leave-in hot oil treatment. Just be sure to use a small amount or your hair may attract dirt like a dust magnet or look greasy.

this is the best treatment for strong healhy nails.forget about the branded cuicle oils,nothing beats this.im a nail biter unfortunately,but i find that if i apply this twice a day my nails are so much stonger and my cuticles look healthier,discouraging me from having a nibble!
just be sure to have your hair tied back tight in case you accidently touch it and get a case of the greasies!
unfortunately i cant use this on my face due to my acne prone skin.
i have however used it on my body before i get into the shower and pat myself wth a towel for baby soft skin!
love how cheap it is!

this oil didnt moisturize my skin very well, considering living in a colder drier climate. i put a few drops about a third of the way down my hair after washing and blow dried as normal. i have naturally straight hair that sometimes like to dry kinky or if im lucky, will dry nice and smooth. i have no idea what makes it go either way. using this oil, it made my hair very soft and more straight to begin with. blow drying with no brush and not trying to style my hair, just running my fingers through during drying. i didnt even need a finishing serum or anything along that line. it didnt make my greasy oily roots worse, once i dont add too much and keep it away from my scalp. this is great for my hair and i would recommend it to anyone with similar hair to my own. (naturally straight with some kinks, dyed but no over processed with greasy roots after a couple days of not washing)
this is also great for make up removal

I get this in jug size at Culpepers. I mix it 1:1 with Grapeseed Oil and then add 10% of the total volume Rosehip seed oil to make a wonderful body moisturiser for warm months and I add this mixture to any lotion (I like Boots Organic Baby Lotion) for winter (I just mix it in the palm of my hand before applying). I put it in my shower gel to transform it into shave gel. I don't premix the AO into them, I just mix in the palm of my hand before applying, so I can be sure it's uniform and I can vary the amount of AO depending on how my skin and hair are behaving. Another plus: the scent is very light unlike Olive Oil. It's amazingly useful and cheap, hence the jug size volume!

After reading the reviews here I decided that I would like to try using this oil as a body moisturizer. I actually just purchased a small bottle of this today, and I applied this to my skin for the first time tonight after showering, and so far, i think it like it! The oil has a constistency that's not very thick or too thin and is fairly easy to apply to the skin. I find that for me it takes a little bit longer than i expected for the oil to absorb into my skin, so i think i will probably apply this only in the evening/at night. My skin does feel very soft, but it is still slightly oily feeling. I'm excited to have this though, and i hope that i will be able to include it into my skin care routine without just forgetting about it or getting lazy about it :P. I am also happy that I will be able to use this as a carrier oil when experimenting with essential oils too! I will definitely update if anything changes.

New Exhibition by Ray Ruseckas to Open 6/25 at Thos. Moser Showroom
A new RAY RUSECKAS exhibition will be on view in the Thos. Moser Showroom, 699 Madison Avenue, New York City. Artist Reception: Wednesday, June 25, 6 to 8 p.m.
Carefully regarding the changing weather patterns, waterways, riverbanks, adjacent fields, and the foliage's shifting hues, the work of CYNTHIA-REEVES' artist, Ray Ruseckas, captures the subtlety of New England's bucolic landscape. His acute sensitivity to the region's seasonal palette imbue his works with a quiet mystery, and deftly evoke the essence of the region. Often using handmade papers with long fibers and visible tooth, Ruseckas literally grinds the pigment into the paper and builds up the surface. The resulting tactility and surface texture add dimension and implied movement to his works.
The exhibition will remain on view through the summer.
For additional information on the work of Ray Ruseckas, visit the online gallery or contact the gallery at 212.714.0044. To r.s.v.p. for the reception, call the Thos Moser Showroom at 212.753.7005 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected the appeal from former Kansas utility head David Wittig of his prison sentence following a 2003 bank fraud conviction.
Without comment, the court refused Monday to consider the former Westar Energy Inc. CEO's appeal of the 24-month prison term imposed in 2007 by U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson.
Wittig was serving the sentence as he appealed it.
His attorneys argued arguing that the sentence is at odds with federal sentencing guidelines. But Robinson argued the sentence was warranted by the seriousness of the crime involved and because another defendant received a five-year sentence.
Wittig was convicted in July 2003 of loaning $1.5 million to former Topeka bank President Clinton Odell Weidner II, then helping him hide the transaction from bank and federal officials.

Mike Anderson not happy about game-changing flagrant foul
Jan 23, 2014, 11:37 AM EDT
Mike Anderson very nearly ended one of the more embarrassing streaks for any coach in the country.
Since he's been at Arkansas, Anderson is winless in SEC road games against teams other than Auburn. His overall record in SEC games away from Bud Walton Arena is 2-21, which looks even worse when you consider that he went 1-7 on the road in Big 12 games in his last season at Missouri.
But that very nearly changed on Wednesday night, when Anderson's Arkansas team was up 63-55 at Tennessee late in the second half. The Vols had a run in them, however, and it was spurred on by a flagrant foul that was called on Kiko Haydar.
With 2:52 left, Haydar wrapped up Jeronne Maymon from behind, holding his arms preventing Maymon from getting off a shot at the rim. The flagrant was called, giving Maymon two free throws and Tennessee the ball back. Maymon hit both, Jordan McRae hit a three on the ensuing possession, and after Arkansas badly missed a contested three, McRae knocked down two free throws at the other end.
That flagrant foul changed the game. Anderson acknowledged as much afterwards, while pleading his case that the call was wrong.
"McRae played well, but the MVP was the flagrant foul call," he said after the game, according to the Knoxville News-Sentinel. "You get in two or three minutes and that's one that should play on. I thought it just changed the whole dynamic of how the game was going."
Here's an excerpt from the rulebook on what should be called a flagrant foul: "Pushing or holding a player from behind to prevent a score."
You tell me if the refs missed that call?:
You don't want flagrant fouls called in the last three minutes? Don't commit flagrant fouls in the last three minutes.
- fatediesel - Jan 23, 2014 at 12:46 PM
That was one of the most blatant flagrant fouls you'll see all year. Anderson is just mad because his team was in position to win a road game but they completely blew it, making Home Court Mike's record at Arkansas 2-21 in road games, with both wins coming at Auburn.

More on the Money Sent Down the National Science Foundation Rat Hole
As the country careens toward bankruptcy, stratospheric taxes and a $14 trillion debt smother the economy, and hyperinflation threatens to wipe out our savings due to Big Government printing increasingly worthless currency to cover its never-ending spending binge, the National Science Foundation provides examples of what our liberal rulers have been trading our future for:
• $80,000 study on why the same teams always dominate March Madness;
• $315,000 study suggesting playing FarmVille on Facebook helps adults develop and maintain relationships;
• $1 million for an analysis of how quickly parents respond to trendy baby names;
• $50,000 to produce and publicize amateur songs about science, including a rap called "Money 4 Drugz," and a misleading song titled "Biogas is a Gas, Gas, Gas";
• $2 million to figure out that people who often post pictures on the internet from the same location at the same time are usually friends; and
• $581,000 on whether online dating site users are racist.
Then there is the mismanagement:
• Hundreds of millions of dollars lost to ineffective contracting;
• $1.7 billion in unspent funds sitting in expired, undisbursed grant accounts;
• At least $3 million in excessive travel funds;
• A lack of accountability or program metrics to evaluate expenditures;
• Inappropriate staff behavior including porn surfing and Jello wrestling and skinny-dipping at NSF-operated facilities in Antarctica.
Much of the lunacy is duplicated by others among the 15 federal departments, 12 independent agencies, and 72 subagencies that perform R&D for Big Government.
Don't be too sure that a private company would never waste money so irresponsibly. Under Obamanomics, making a profit is no longer necessary or even desirable, so long as you have pull in Washington. The more incompetent the management, the bigger the bailout.

Swimming, wake boarding, tubing, and kayaking are some of the area's finest outdoor activities. Pontooning and boating are also popular, but jet skis are not allowed due to noise restrictions. An 18-hole golf course can be found on the premises, as well as a marina and boat launch. Anglers are likely to catch catfish, bream, crappie, and bass. Hiking along Lake Arrowhead's eight-mile trail system yields fantastic wildlife watching opportunities, particularly for water turtles, blue herons and deer.

Just got this bag and cannot wait to use it on weekend trips. I've used it for roadtrip and it fits perfectly in my trunk and hardly takes up any room. After seeing the size in person i can confirm this it is the ideal size for a carry-on.
Thursday July 24 2014
has stood up to several trips, as a carry on and to being checked in etc... easy to push, and looks so pretty too in the neon one world print. I have it in the peace white as well and gifted the flower one. please make more prints...
Friday February 28 2014
I bought this to take with me on vacation. I didn't want to check any bags, so this was my only luggage. It fit everything I needed compactly and securely. It easily fits in the overhead bin even if you use the outside pockets. The four wheels make it a breeze to wheel through the airport and the neon one world print makes it super easy to spot amongst the crowd. Great quality for the price too!

Milwaukee Opera Theatre, Genghis Barbie rock the art song
Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

Having completed various online courses over the last few years, I can tell you from first-hand experience that there's a big difference between a good one and an average one. The good ones are based on solid online learning techniques but remain relevant by incorporating the most up to date information available. They must be accessible on any type of browser - whether it be mobile, tablet or web - and they must be adaptable to all levels of learning. More and more businesses these days are having to change the way that they develop their workers' knowledge by creating ... Read more
There's been plenty of talk over the years about the cashless society. In an ideal world we would just need a swipeable card in our wallet or purse rather than having our pockets full of cash and coins. Unfortunately, the concept has stumbled over the last few years for a number of reasons. First and foremost being the reluctance of small business to get involved in yet another complicated piece of technology not to mention the fees - some hidden - that can be charged. However, with most of us owning a smartphone nowadays, the opportunity for anyone and everyone ... Read more
Privacy on our mobile phones has been much discussed over the last few years. Whether it be the 'theft' of photos or personal details, it's probably even more of a problem now than it was two years ago - and we still haven't really come to grips with it. Many of us are lazy with our devices and they are often left hanging around unattended for anyone to pick up and view. The solutions have often been weighty, clumsy or expensive apps that are inconvenient to use and can offer up as many problems as they solve. Privacy Lock is ... Read more
Does the whole concept of Black Friday scare the living daylights out of you? You've spotted an advertised price for a new TV but it's probably going to mean queuing up for hours, maybe days, in order to actually buy it at that price. Not only that but there's going to be a lot of pushing and shoving when you get in there. But it doesn't have to be like that. PWUL (Pay What You Like) is a new shopping application that constantly tracks thousands of websites to find the item that you want and at the price that you ... Read more
The chase to harness big data has become one of the next great aspirations both in the public and private sectors. But what's more amazing than the fact that the data we've created online over the past two years eclipses the prior record of human civilization, is that now we have methods to capture, analyze and use it, according to Weatherhead University Professor Gary King in an article published by Harvard Magazine.

If you've ever been in the business of collecting subscriptions from customers you will already know that there are pitfalls.

The Tower Defense (TD) style of video game is a sub-genre of real time strategy games where the idea is to try to stop an invading force from making inroads into your territory by using various fighting methods - and anything else you can get your hands on. I guess the genre began when Atari introduces the game Rampart way back in the early 90's. The graphics have changed a lot over the years but the gameplay is basically pretty similar. Hero TD - Ancient Continent is a multiplayer online role-playing game for Android, Blackberry10 and iOS that proves to ... Read more

Along with Go and Chess, Backgammon is reckoned to be one of the oldest games in existence. It was originally thought to have been played about 5,000 years ago and seems to have originated in what today we call Iraq - though it was then known as Mesopotamia. Equally, real-time online backgammon play was just as quick off the mark with the first internet backgammon server coming online being established in 1992. However, the online game has come a long way since those days. BackgammonAce is an exciting, fast and free game application for iOS and Android that turns the ... Read more

Recently I entered into semi-retirement, was laid off my 16 year job as Executive Assistant with KCI.

I have several options in the works, considering a home business I'm looking for someone fun with integrity to do things with. Someone who still believes in love..... I have 3 children and 3 granddaughters who are very much a part of my life! I adore them. I love adventure, water, mountains, good food, music, the outdoors, Broadway shows on occasion, good movies with gifted actors and travel just to name a few interests. I treasure each day and take value in trying to live my life with sincerity and values. I have lived my life a little on the edge at times, fearless to try new adventures. Raised a Military brat and lived in several states and countries. I have remained in contact close friends all thru the years. And love to travel and visit them. I believe in romance and love and hope to find a man desiring the same. I miss the presence of a man.. My brunette pictures are from 2011 and 2012. Blonde are current. Age difference is interesting.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 2/5/13
A judge has dismissed the last remaining count in football coach Mike Leach's wrongful termination lawsuit against Texas Tech. State District Judge William Sowder told the school and Leach's attorney Monday that Texas Tech didn't violate the coach's due process rights when he was fired in December 2009. Texas Tech spokesman Chris Cook says the school is pleased with the decision. Leach's attorney Ted Liggett tells the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal (bit.ly/VBcgm2) that Leach is considering options that could include an appeal. Leach sued a month after he was fired for alleged mistreatment of a player suffering from a concussion. He denied the accusation and is now coaching at Washington State.

The Internet age offers managers a curious paradox. They have more information coming at them than ever before, but they often find it difficult to get the information they need to make decisions.
Amid a cacophony of information and data, decision-makers and policy-makers increasingly must rely on groups that can provide objective, insightful views on important issues. A real need exists for groups that can take the time, effort and energy to look at those issues, dissect them and present them coherently and cohesively. And there is a real need for objective recommendations from such groups.
In many ways, the 9/11 Commission played that role after the 2001 terrorist attacks. The commission spent months interviewing nearly everyone involved and eventually made a number of recommendations. Although some of those recommendations fell by the wayside, the panel did an excellent job of getting people to focus on the important issues.
The Markle Foundation, which is profiled in this issue, has played a similar role on national security and health information technology issues. In the right environment, Government Accountability Office auditors and agency inspectors general can also fulfill that role by offering informed, objective advice.
The IT Resources Board (ITRB) was another such organization. It was an interagency group of federal IT officials who were responsible for assisting agencies in procuring, developing and managing major information systems.
Earlier this year, the Bush administration rescinded Executive Order 13011, which President Clinton had signed. That order was linked to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and the IT Management Reform Act of 1996. The E-Government Act of 2002 codifed most of the provisions, except for the one that created ITRB.
The board always operated in the background, offering advice behind the scenes and shying away from publicity. But it played a useful role.
We can only hope that there is a new outlet for informed, objective advice.

'Jersey Shore' Star Pauly D Ditches Gel for New 'Do
In the issue, the guys provide gym and relationship advice and reveal their biggest workout pet peeves.
Let's say you're taking a girl on a cruise tomorrow morning and you have two hours of free time today. Gym or tanning bed?
DJ Pauly D: Tanning bed. You look more toned when you're tan.
The Situation: Gonna have to say the gym. Just get tan on the boat.
What about dudes who stare at themselves in the mirror the whole time they're working out?
DJ Pauly D: Yo, stop talking about me! [Laughs]
Ronnie: [Defensively] It's not just that you want to stare at yourself. It's partly that. But you're also watching to make sure you're doing everything properly.
What's the best body-related compliment you've gotten from a girl?
DJ Pauly D: It was my birthday this weekend, and these girls put cake on my body and ate it off. One girl said, 'You have the nicest chest I ever ate cake off.' I got pictures to prove it. I'll send 'em to you.

Free trade has been instrumental in building the most powerful economy on earth. In fact, 38 million U.S. jobs are a direct result of U.S. trade with the world.
Yet, it's not so easy to be a "free trader" in today's politics. Some view trade with less developed (read: low labor cost) nations as a one way ticket to domestic job loss. Indeed, two decades after the North American Free Trade Agreement, it's still easy politics to criticize the real and perceived disadvantages of mega trade deals.

So The Force Unleashed has sold eleventy billion copies by now. Show of hands, who's surprised? Star Wars holds such an inexplicable sway with the twenty-to-thirtysomething demographic. I know I've felt it. Despite that game's prominent design issues, I've been strangely drawn to it and have been plowing through it, on the hard difficulty no less.
But hey, LucasArts isn't done with Star Wars games this year! There's also The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels for the Wii. They've put out a very special trailer that you really want to watch. No wait, you need to watch this. Please. If there's one thing you do today, view this video.

The second edition of D. S. Sivia's Data Analysis: A Bayesian Tutorial offers readers an alternative approach to the frequentist methods of statistical inference that are typically covered in a data analysis course. The book avoids what the author describes as a "cook-book recipe mentality" by using examples to demonstrate the use of various Bayesian methods and models, rather than providing a long list of methods with only few examples illustrating the applicability of a method. This tutorial should be accessible to individuals with a familiarity in multivariable calculus and linear algebra and many of the examples may be of interest to scientists who have this mathematical background. Part 1 of the book motivates the use of Bayesian methods and covers basic probability, parameter estimation, model selection, and choice of prior probabilities. Part 2 covers advanced topics such as non-parametric estimation, experimental design, and least-square procedures. J. Skilling contributed two new chapters to the second edition which describe nested sampling, a new numerical technique for doing Bayesian computations.
One of the strengths of this book is the author's ability to motivate the use of Bayesian methods through simple yet effective examples. As the text progresses the examples become more complicated and cover issues like image processing and crystallography. The first chapter also provides a short history of probability and the differences between the Bayesian and frequentist perspectives on statistical inference. One of the weaknesses of the book is that many of the section descriptions are rather vague which may limit the reader's ability to quickly find a specific topic of interest. The new chapters provided by J. Skilling do offer C programs that can fit some of the Bayesian models discussed in the book, but I didn't find any references to other software programs that can be used to fit these models. In the end though, I think this book will provide the reader a nice mix of Bayesian philosophy and applications.

Deploying Debian systems with FAI
Your Own Taste
The files/ directory stores by class all the files that FAI will copy to the target system. The hierarchy below files/ is based on the Debian directory tree. To illustrate this point: If you select the CC_HPCOMPAQ class, you will expect to find the menu.lst file in the client's /boot/grub directory later. For this to happen, you need to copy the contents of menu.lst into the files/boot/grub/menu.lst/CC_HPCOMPAQ/ directory. FAI does not automatically copy user-defined files below files/ to the target system; this only happens if the configuration script contains an fcopy command.
The command
fcopy -iM /boot/grub/menu.lst
copies the GRUB bootloader configuration file menu.lst to the client. It is part of the BC_LINUX class.
The /hooks directory contains programs or scripts for customizing the installation process. Finally, the scripts/ directory contains the scripts that FAI runs during the install. You can easily use fcopy to copy files on the basis of the client class or as a local command with the ${ROOTCMD} command.
In typical Unix style, FAI offers a number of scripting options. Besides legacy shell scripts, FAI will also run Perl or Cfengine scripts. Cfengine is a good choice for modifying configuration files.
After planning, collating, and configuring installation files and scripts, you are finally ready to use FAI to automate the installation process on a large number of computers. The last step is to extend the DHCP and TFTP configurations in a way that will allow the new clients to boot off the network and automatically launch into the FAI installation. To do so, you just need to apply the settings for the first test run. Once the FAI client has completed the installation, it will display a summary onscreen and wait for somebody to press Return to trigger a reboot (see Figure 3).
The FAI deployment framework stores all installation processes in logfiles on the server. If necessary, you can evaluate the files in the /-var/log/fai/ directory and check them for errors.
Remote Control
FAI is a versatile tool for automating the installation of DEB-based Linux distributions. In addition to x86, the automatic installer also supports Sparc and PowerPC architectures. The FAI installation solution is ideal for many situations, from computer clusters to heterogeneous IT infrastructures in enterprises. Once you have negotiated the learning curve, FAI provides a powerful tool capable of automating almost any Debian-based installation.

"I am a designated representative of the Clinton campaign," Tubbs Jones said to Ausman. "Why don't you go about your business?"
The tension reflected high stakes were for both candidates, analysts said.
"You have Hillary Clinton feeling this is her best shot of getting the nomination," said ABC News' Cokie Roberts on "Good Morning America." "And you have a bunch of women who will be protesting outside, saying women's voices have not been heard."
DNC Chairman Howard Dean kicked off the DNC meeting with what may have been an olive branch to such women -- noting that the Democratic Party is about to pick a female or African American as its presidential nominee.
He also lamented the campaign's "blatant sexist comments," which he pinned, in comments interrupted by applause, on "some members of the media," as well as the campaign season's "blatantly racist remarks."
"We know those comments have no place in our society and certainly no place in our party and that will stop," Dean added. "And we need to come together and unite this party. And each one of us has a responsibility to ensure that that happens."
Obama adviser Dunn suggested a key to such healing rested with the Clinton campaign.
Obama's campaign expects to win around 38 delegates in the final three contests of Puerto Rico, South Dakota, and Montana. If he hits that mark, it would leave him about 30 superdelegates away from his party's nod.
The Obama campaign is pushing superdelegates to come on board by Tuesday so that Obama can claim his party's presidential nomination when he speaks that evening at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.
The site was chosen because it is the same place where McCain will formally receive the GOP's presidential nomination in early September.
Asked if Obama would wait to get a concession call from Clinton before claiming the nomination, Dunn said the onus was on Clinton now that the Democratic Party has firmed up the number of delegates needed to claim the party's nod.
"He's not going to wait by the phone like a high-school girl waiting for a date," said Dunn. "That's not Barack Obama."
"After Tuesday," Dunn added, referring to the final contests of South Dakota and Montana, Clinton "can decide how united she wants this party to be."
ABC News' John Santucci, Karen Travers, Sunlen Miller, Sarah Herndon, Gregory McCown and Stephanie Dahle contributed to this report.
