#1 Get rid of David Stern! #2 Ok, widen the court by 3 feet on each side, extend the court by five feet on either end. #3, Also, give each team fewer time outs per quarter. #4 I love the idea of seeding the playoffs like the NCAA ttourney and having both conferences play immediately. It also makes it so that technically, the two best teams face off at the end. #5 Finally, make all playoff series five games. the post season is way too long! #6 Oh and get rid of the fan voting in the all star players!
If the Blazers can't trade Felton, or Crawford then this trade deadline dealing is only ok. A draft pick that may, or may not be given to the Blazers is nice, but you need more, like more addition, by subtraction!
+1! I could not agree more! Not only has the ship sunk, but the admirals that normally hang out on shore are in the shipp too. In fact, the front office may be the ones scuttling the ship. This team should be ashamed of the way they are playing. The front office should be ashamed for putting up with it. The coaches should be ashamed for their lack of coaching, because what kind of coach would allow a string of blowouts like these? I'm ashamed to be a fan of the Blazers. After 40 years, this is what we get? Shameful, pathetic and the biggest turn off since, well, forever!
This team sucks and has become the laughing stock of the NBA. Even the worst teams (record-wise) in the NBA are more respectable than this Blazers team. You know what? I am not a fan of any team in the NBA but the Blazers, but I HATE this team! I hope they're listening.
Bad move I think. Love DT, but he's not pro material yet. He needs one more year to hone his skills, develop his footwork, etc. He is durable while standing in and taking a hit though, and maybe that's why teams will take a chance on him. I wish him well, but I wish he'd come backe for one more year, for his sake. The Ducks should be fine I think. It's actually in a way., a blessing to QB's in a logjam at backup. It presents a lot of opportunities and some great competition.
I don't know if the report is true or not. This is addressed to Kelly. PLEASE don't go! Other teams will contact Kelly, even if Miami isn't, but please Mr. Kelly, this program needs you. This program WANTS you for a long time. The NFL is about the money, but College is where the fun is. As a UO grad, I just hope that you (Chip Kelly) will have as much loyalty to your current school as I have. Regardless thanks so much for what you've done so far. Read this please, Mr. Kelly. Go Ducks in 2012!
You put way too much effort into that failure of a post. I won't even say nice try. It's obvious that you understand the concept of attempting to win an argument by making compliments to seem less biased. Too bad your rant falls short of anything but jealousy and ad homynim attacks.
with that said, I give the Ducks an overall grade of A+. How can you grade them less? They won! Their defense was better than anyone expected and their line I give an A for effort! They were completely overmatched by the Badgers, but held their own. It was awesome.
Awesome game by everyone who played. Get better Carson York! Go Ducks!
My college buddy (UO class of 93) who now LIVES in Pasadena just texted a photo of his Rose Bowl tix. So jealous! Should be a great game. I hope the Ducks have a masterful game plan and both sides are ready for the challenge. Does anyone remember when the Ducks went to Wisconsin and played two qb's and almost won? AJ Feely almost won that game. It remains one of my most favorite games the Ducks have played, even though they lost. I hope the atmosphere is the same for this game, but that the Ducks win! Go Ducks!!!!
I redact my earelier post. I had no idea that he was told by the doctors that he should no longer play. I was mostly upset at the organization, who I felt lied to us. Seems I jumped to a false conclusion and I apoligize for insensitive comments.
I don't get how anyone can tell him good luck. I mean, he's in position to recieve millions for nothing. How lucky does he need to be? And don't tell me the club had no idea of this, yet they looked us in the eye and lied to us! If I were a season ticket holder, I'd sell back my tickets.
Tragedy puts athletics and school rivalries in perspective. This tragedy is so sad and I feel sorrow for Fred Thompson's family and friends. I sincerely hope that they will feel the love and support of family, friends and community and that that gets them through this sad event.
People, who are any lkind of people understand that life trumps all sports, that sports is just a game and that people who play the game have lives, either long, or short, that matter more than anything to their families.
My thoughts are with the Thompson family and my condolences to all Beaver fans.
You said it yourself, podunk. Well I agree with you, boise is podunk school and a plays in a podunk conference and will again be in a podunk conference and a joke of a conference at that! Get over your win against the ducks three years ago. Do you honestly think your football team will ever go undefeated again, EVER? Neither do I!
Wait a minute.! Maybe it's not such a bad idea. If they're going to have a "west division" maybe they would want the Beavers. That way, the Beavers might be able to compete. However, they would probably have to paint their field orange, or black, or any other color besides the one traditionally played on -- GRASS!
Ha, ha, ha, a, ha! What a joke! I sure hope that they don't have an automatic BCS tie in, because who wants to see any of those new, OR old schools play in a BCS? NO ONE!
No offense to Alabama, they are a good team, but I can't get over their loss to LSU. They lost to them once already and in embarrasing fashion. I would also suggest that LSU won that game in embarrasing fashion. That game would be considered the "toilet bowl" were it in our conference.
I don't want a National Championship game played by two mediocre offenses, and have it said that they have the best defenses in college football, so they should be considered #1 and #2, and furthermore, that it will be a great game because it will be a defensive showdown. Wrong!
This national championship game will be unwatchable! Also, the fact that the game is played so long after all the other bowl games, the build-up will make for the most anticlimactic outcome ever!
One more thing. Thanks writers for voting a 7-5 Auburn team into the top 25 to pad the computer rankings of Alabama, for when they played them. OKState thanks you! Idiots!
I am not boycotting out of principle, it's just not a game I would ever want to watch. I do however thing Oklahoma State got jobbed. The Fiesta Bowl should be a great game! I wouldn't be surprised to see the ratings of the Natty being at an all time low, but who knows.
Off season trouble? What trouble? This is about a student athlete who had a bright future, but messed up and hardly saw the field this season. Questions about his playing status even stopped coming from the media mid-way through the season. Cliff Harris had no impact on this team this year. The team is about more than one guy and they will move on just fine without him. There is no trouble here, but feel free to hold on to your fantasy!
No, NO, NO, NO, NO!!! You do not get to blame Chip Kelly for anything central! Kelly has givien players chances to prove themselves and if they can't turn their lives around, they are dismissed! I challenge you to find another D1 coach who has the balls to dismiss arguable three of their most outstanding players in just three years! I bet you can't find one coach besides Kelly who has dismissed ANY of their best players, ever! Your argument sucks. This business proves Chipo Kelly runs a program where his players must be accountable, period!
Sure, but let's strengthen another weakness, so we can compete with ANYONE, anywhere. With Chip Kelly's system and Jim Radcliff's conditioning, getting huge up-front guys would make the Ducks nearly invincible! Anyone disagree?
Love this recruit and love to get skill guys, but please, let's get the top D and O linemen! Everyone knows that's the next place to improve.
So this is the second time The Oregonian has featured my comments in a this column. This time they even used my words for their headline. I'm NOT bragging, just wondering where my residual check is....

Best steaks and the service is outstanding

Forever a Texan, but look forward to this jewel of a steakhouse in Florida If you are not excited here, you are not a quality meat eater Great steaks cooked anyway you want them and in 50 visits, never disappointed. You veggie eaters should not complain about this steak house treasure. First class- great place to eat!

We waited in the bar for 45 minutes, which we like to do. We asked for a booth for 2 and we were sat at a round table for 5. It took the waiter about 10 minutes before approaching our table. He never introduced himself. We ordered drinks and I asked for broiled scallops to start. "oh no we don't have scallops". Do you have anything like that? "Lump crab meat". But that's cold, I said. What else can you suggest?. "Our appetizers are listed on the menu". He didn't even want to help us. Now I'm mad. I ordered the stuffed prawns. It took forever for him to bring our drinks. Things only got worse from here. Apparently our waiter has been there for many years, but didn't even know the menu. My friend asked for a glass of water. The waiter brought him the water and walked away. Never asked if I would have liked water, nor did he offer us bottled water, which I prefer. My tiny little New York strip came. Before I took the first bite he did a "drive by" asking how my steak was. I said I'll let you know in a minute. He never came back. The steak was unappetizing. So full of gristle I couldn't eat it, and I wouldn't have even brought it to my dog. No management ever came by our table, but I observed them going to other tables. Our waiter had no personality at all, yet I heard him laughing and sucking up to another table. I really don't think I'll ever go back, except to go to the bar.

The service at this antiquated steakhouse was enjoyable during my recent dining experience, however with the food was disappointing. I ordered a king-cut prime rib and my piece was refrigerator cold throughout when I received it. I ordered a Porterhouse as a replacement for it was cooked unevenly and found its taste to be off-putting due to the hot skillet and oil placed on it. There are better places to dine at out for the money! I won't return!

New Yorker and long time patron of Okeechobee Steak House finds consistency in excellence of food and service. Only one criticism ... please revert to your hot "crusty" loaf of bread, and get rid of the current offering. Looking forward to next visit.

You can't beat the salad bar (included with your meal) Had the filet steak tips today. They were excellent. My daughter had the baked stuffed shrimp. They were very good also. We ordered the appetizer of stuffed mushrooms. They arrived on the cold/luke warm side. Weren't impressed with those at all. Service was quite slow too. The next time I go, I think I will get the soup and salad bar. It was great!

If you want a quality aged steak this is the place. I have had several cuts and its all melt in your mouth. Prices may seem steep, but if you qant quality you have it here!

Anti-matter universe
46,910articles in progress
Omega was trapped in and ruled over the anti-matter universe. It was situated in a black hole, leaving it a pocket universe. Omega shaped this universe as he saw fit, creating his own paradise in which to dwell.
Over the centuries, however, he grew despondent due to his isolation. The landscape slowly became unstable because of this. Omega planned to escape the anti-matter universe and return to N-Space. However, living inside the universe had a corrosive effect, causing Omega's physical body to wear away. This made it impossible to leave the universe, because only his will allowed him to live, and keep it from collapsing. (TV: The Three Doctors, Arc of Infinity)
Zeta Minor was a gateway to an anti-matter dimension. (TV: Planet of Evil)

Resources for Landowners
UPDATE MAY 2015: Summer thunderstorm season is here...which means increased risk of floods and debris flows in the burn area. Be prepared and stay aware of the weather. Resources for weather info here.
The Okanogan Conservation District is working with local, state, and federal agencies to seek funding so we can assist landowners who need post-fire help to restore forest and pastures and to reduce the risk of flash flood damage.
If you are a private landowner who has had natural resources and/or agricultural infrastructure damaged by the wildfire, please consider filling out a Restoration Needs Form. The more evidence we have of needs to be met, the more effectively we can make a case for funding to provide technical and financial assistance. Forms may be sent to us by mail, email, or dropped off at our office in Okanogan. We will begin scheduling site visits as soon as we receive satellite imagery on burn severity.

Flash floods can affect burned land AND land downhill from burned areas. Stay aware of the weather, especially heavy rain or rain that lasts for more than 1/2 hour. A flash flood after a fire carries with it not only water, but also ash, making the flow material extremely dense like liquid cement.
If you think you may have a flood risk due to wildfire, talk to your insurance agent NOW about FEMA National Flood Insurance. Even areas that don't typically flood are at risk when downhill from burned areas.
Seeding, Erosion, Landscape Recovery:
Carlton Complex Seeding Recommendations from NRCS (Natural Resource Conservation Service)
Carlton Complex Seeding Rates from BFI Seeds (for seeds sourced closest to the Carlton fires)
Rainier Seed Company has Lawn, Hay & Pasture, and Habitat seed mixes suited to this area, available at local feed stores.
Soil Erosion After Wildfire: The potential for severe soil erosion is a consequence of wildfire because as a fire burns it destroys plant material and the litter layer. There are several steps to take to reduce the amount of soil erosion. A landowner, using common household tools and materials, can accomplish most of these methods in the aftermath of a wildfire.

My numbering for the sections:
Foundation piece the sections. Trim to ¼" seam allowance all the way around.
I prefer to iron the freezer paper foundation onto the side strips too. This way they don't distort when I sew them onto the block and I can get the seam allowances accurate. I also leave ½" seam allowance along the outside edges so I can trim the block to exactly 5" when I'm done.
Make the three center sections. To make the seams line up, I always sew about ½" of seam at the seam intersections first and then sew the rest of the seam from the ends towards the middle. This avoids a lot of slippage of fabric, and I only have a teenie bit of unpicking to do if the seams don't line up.
Attach the three center pieces to each other to form the center square.
Attach the edge rectangles log cabin style to complete the block. Not perfect, but better finished than perfect, right?

School board sets date for search firm interviews
The school board has set March 20 as the date to hear proposals from four firms that have submitted proposals to conduct the school district's superintendent search.
The school board will invite McPherson & Jacobson LLC., of Omaha, Neb., Ray and Associates Inc., of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Raleigh-based North Carolina School Board Association and BWP & Associates, of Libertyville, Ill., to Durham to make presentations and to be interviewed by the board.
"Hopefully, after the end of that, we'll be able to make a selection," said school board Chairwoman Heidi Carter. "That would be my goal."
Still unclear Monday, however, was the pace at which the board will try to hire a superintendent to replace Eric Becoats who resigned in December under a cloud of controversy over his management of the district.
The school board election in May will deliver at least two school board members to replace Nancy Cox and Fredrick Davis, who are not seeking re-election.
At some point, the board will have to decide whether the current board or the new board seated in July will hire the new superintendent.
Carter said the board will weigh the options, but doesn't feel the need to rush the process.
"We want to do a careful and thorough job," Carter said.
The board agreed last week not to invite PROACT Search of Wilmette, Ill., to town for an interview.
Here is what each firm chosen for an interview would charge to conduct the search:
-- Ray and Associates Inc., of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, would charge $28,000, plus expenses for its services. The price could be lower depending on what level of service the school board selects. The firm, which has offices in Sanford, is currently conducting the executive-director search for Neuse Charter School and previously conducted searches for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and Guilford County Schools. It also was one of three search firms that submitted proposals to conduct Durham's search in 2009.
-- BWP & Associates, of Libertyville, Ill., would charge $26,500, plus expenses that the firm estimates could cost as much as $8,550. The firm boasts of having conducted more than 800 successful executive searches.
-- North Carolina School Board Association in Raleigh would charge $15,000 for its services, plus any expenses incurred. The $15,000 consulting fee is nearly double the $8,500 fee that the association charged in 2009 when it conducted the Durham search that yielded Eric Becoats, who resigned in December under a cloud of controversy. Over the past 15 years, the association has provided services to 75 North Carolina school boards.
-- McPherson & Jacobson LLC., is the Omaha, Neb.-based firm that conducted the recent superintendent search for the Wake County school board. McPherson & Jacobson's base proposal is for $27,500 and the price could grow to as much as $37,880 with expenses.

Below is the poem entitled The Few Who Conquer the Beast which was written by poet
Green. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Amy Green
Ah! The beast rolls his tongue in your blame
he knows all actions and pretensions that
cause you shame
Too afraid to face your shame, you play his game.
Thinking you get away with it
the beast knows when your hell is legit
and he takes you from inside
Steals your pride. He owns you,
don't you see- you can't fight eternity.
Praying is the selfish way to keep the beast at bay
but eventually he finds you
eventually he owns you.
Few, honored, few revered
few people have nothing to fear.
Only if one can spiritually conquer the beast-
Few shall taste the sweet fruits of Heaven's feast-
Less you conquer your personal beast.
Motif- Philosophical

Banned Books Week observed at SPSU
Each year during the last week of September, libraries, publishers, schools and other organizations emphasize the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment through the observance of Banned Books Week.
Last week, Sept. 24 – Oct. 1, the staff of the L.V. Johnson Library drew attention to the topic of censorship with displays that spotlighted actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States. The displays featured frequently disputed books such as "To Kill a Mockingbird" (Harper Lee), "The Color Purple" (Alice Walker), "The Catcher in the Rye"(J.D. Salinger), "My Sister's Keeper (Jodi Picoult) and "Go Ask Alice" (Anonymous). The Banned Book Week enhancements were designed, fabricated and installed by Reference Librarian Amy Coughenour.

A penny for a house isn't a bad deal. Neither is paying 6,000 dollars for it.
That was the winning bid on a historic Bryan house listed on Ebay. Bidding ended this week.
The winner doesn't even live in the country, but does have family in the Brazos Valley. He'll have to hire a company to move the house off the land.
12 bidders made 65 bids on the house, and if the deal doesn't go through, they say they'll be waiting. "Most of the bidders were local bidders. The runner-up bidders called me right afterwards and they were a little saddened that they didn't win, but they said if the winning bidder drops out, to contact them," said current owner Paul Torres.
More than 4,000 people logged on to the house's Ebay site during the ten days it was on the auction block. On the last day it was listed, the price jumped nearly 5,000 dollars in just 20 minutes.

A Stevenson Ranch woman accused of killing a motorcyclist in a fatal crash while she was allegedly under the influence is expected back in court March 4, a District Attorney's Office spokesman said Thursday.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
Suzette L. Crockett, 46, of Stevenson Ranch, was booked Aug. 11 on a charge of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated for a crash.
She's due back in court March 4 for her preliminary hearing, according to Ricardo Santiago, spokesman for the District Attorney's Office. At that time, a judge will hear the evidence and decide if there is enough to merit a trial.
Crockett allegedly was driving a 2007 Matrix north on The Old Road, near Sagecrest Circle, approaching a green light in the left-turn area, according to a California Highway Patrol report.
Johnny Sanchez, 58, of Lake View Terrace, was driving southbound in a 2005 Suzuki motorcycle on The Old Road, where Crockett allegedly failed to yield to Sanchez, according to the collision report.
Related article: Stevenson Ranch Woman Charged In Fatal Crash Due Back Next Year
"She made a left-hand turn directly in front of the motorcycle, and the motorcycle broadsided her," said Officer Glauser of the California Highway Patrol, who investigated the scene.
CHP officers and Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel responded to the crash.
Sanchez was taken to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital Monday morning, where he was treated for major injuries, according to Glauser said.
He later died from injuries he sustained in the crash.
That's when Crockett's charge was upgraded and Crockett turned herself in, and then made bail.
Crockett is free on $100,000 bail.

Dear Mr. Bear,
You are a talanted writer. Thank you for the book titled Eons and Eternity. I love the way you identified soul in your book, you called it Mystery. Feel free not to answer but I would love to know your view on Soul.

Hello, Christine! Good to hear from you. I express myself best in my novels, and I think you'll find a deeper examination of my views in DARWIN'S RADIO and especially in DARWIN'S CHILDREN. Let me know what you think!

When the twin towers were hit, I cried and watched the news practically nonstop for days. I was grief-stricken even though I knew no one in N.Y. After Katrina, I witnessed people make comments that showed how cold they can be about those who have been through tragedies, New Orleans in general, and they fed into the stereotypes that were rampant. What struck me was how quickly people on the ouside can judge based on assumption instead of fact. Several months ago, a coworker made a Katrina-Superdome joke that I didn't find funny at all (but he's crass anyway). I kind of lost my faith in people. So now, though 9/11 still saddens me, the anniversary doesn't faze me one bit. I'm sure I'm wrong to feel that way but, oh, well...
I had no idea Skate Country is still around. I have pics from when my family went there a looooooong time ago!
I agree, carrolltonav. I don't understand the purpose of the story especially since the data is from 2005. Is it saying that universities and colleges are essential to the local economy? If so, then how much have the other schools contributed? Should the article compare past and current dollar amounts? Maybe someone had a deadline to submit a story and found the study in a stack of papers. :-)
Maybe the grandmother was the one who gave the anonymous tip. OR maybe, since the place was a total wreck that no one in their RIGHT mind would live in, just MAYBE these 2 folks are drug addicts that have been strung out for a LONG time and didn't want to be found and the relatives didn't know where they were.
I'd like to add that too many people complain but don't do anything change things. I hope enough people continue to contribute over the long haul so this program can stay around for long long loooong time.
Their web site says you can donate or sponsor a child. I plan to contribute!!
People forget that the majority of people who buy rap music are NOT the ones committing the crimes N.O. is concerned about. Besides, tell the music corporations to stop producing the CDs - those people are NOT the ones committing the crimes either. And if most people who make these negative comments listened to rap, they'd realize that there are all kinds. It's not all hardcore rap, which seems to be going out of style anyway.
I wasn't there and neither were most of us. There's no reason that a person can't change his or her ways or thought process. I'm happy to see ANYONE do something positive.
It's good to hear a positive story about New Orleans and also a positive story about a local rapper. Too many people who post to nola.com stories assume negative things about rappers. It definitiely needs to be said that not everyone fits neatly into one stereotype or another.
I would love to see the positive stories get half the number of comments the murder stories get....
I, too, am confused. the officers "couldn't" identify her, but a school spokesperson said that she isn't a student. Did they run her picture against all the pictures in the school's database? Or maybe they know her name and aren't releasing it. Sheesh. Get it right.
What would be really cool is if they would volunteer their efforts to local public schools that could use a little TLC.
Popping up out of sunroofs? It sounds like they've been watching too many movies. Idiots.
What video game companies? Has there been any such activity???
I don't understand this... why would he have a gun and have a ONE bullet in his back pocket? Was he saving the bullet for something else? It makes no sense. And if he pulled out the gun and the officer *waited* for him to fire, was there enough light to tell that the guy TRIED to fire the weapon?
How much is going to coastal restoration? Save the wetlands!!!!
They should fly over the wetlands to see how scary it is that the Gulf is getting closer. I keep hoping they'll spend the money to attempt coastal restoration so some land will be there to slow down the next hurricane!
When will people learn that you can't just leave your electronic devices in plain view all the time regardless of the city or neighborhood? Plus your nav system doesn't need to be hooked up all the time!!! Sheesh!
i failed to mention thaty my mom works at the high school i was talking about.
Dragon3, at least one of these teachers at the school lives with 3 other Filipinos brought over to work. I think they are doing it until they can get their families here and until they can get their own apartment.
My mom first told me about the Filipino teachers coming in. There's one Filipino woman who was brought here on the program at the high school and my mom says she can't understand why the (American) kids aren't as disciplined as the kids in her country. She can't control the kids and the principal moved a certified TEACHER (not an assistant) in there to help her. My mother says the teacher has stated that the woman has not been adequately prepared to teach math and makes a lot of mistakes in teaching the concepts. My mom wonders how long the certified teacher will be asked to serve as this woman's assistant.
Hit-and-run drivers run because they're scared. Scared they're going to go to jail, scared the person they hit is going to die, scared they're insurance will cost more, and so on.

Formaldehyde-free Brazilian Keratin straightening treatments, like Zene Progress and Tutanat are an easy way to radically reduce curl and frizz on all types of hair, and offer many advantages to other types of straightening.
• Results last up to 3 months
• No need to use electric irons
• Easy to manage, frizz-free hair
They work by infusing your hair with proteins and amino acids, literally conditioning your hair smooth. That makes them perfect if you're hair's prone to frizz, or you have to straighten daily with irons.
Brazilian Keratin on Different Hair Types
Brazilian straightening has become a global hit with professional stylists over the last few years, and more recently at home Keratin treatments have become increasingly popular as products become easier to use. So let's take a look at how our the system works on different types of hair and what you can expect.
Brazilian Keratin on Wavy or Curly Hair
Expect outstanding results and an end to the hassle of daily frizz if you have wavy / curly hair. Keratin treatments make styling a breeze, giving you beautiful, wash and go hair for as long as 4 or 5 months between applications. Using Keratin products as part of your regular haircare regime and enjoy gloriously healthy hair with outstanding natural shine.
On Hair Prone to Frizz
If you have hair that frizzes up at the first sign of damp or humidity, the Keratin Straightening will do a great job of calming things down. And because it goes to the very core of each individual fibre, effectively loading it with nourishment, leaving a resistant barrier and locking in moisture, it makes frizz a thing of the past.
Keratin for Damaged Hair
A Brazilian treatment will repair your hair loading it with proteins before locking in nourishment and sealing up each individual follicle. Keratin restores natural shine and manageability, even if your hair is damaged by years of abuse, from harsher chemical treatments like bleaching, relaxing and perming. With continued use new growth is stronger and healthier.
On Relaxed or Straightened Hair
Products like Zene Progress are perfect to maintain results if you have permanently straightened, or relaxed hair, giving you a natural look and feel. Especially if it's been dried out by harsh chemicals like ammonia, which are often found in relaxers.
While it may take more than a single application to achieve a really straight effect, using Keratin products on Afro hair produces outstanding results.
A first application will certainly create a dramatic reduction of frizz, and a second treatment 5-7 days after is usually enough to create a true relaxed look. Results may fade more quickly, but with continued use should last between 3 and 4 months.
> Learn more about Brazilian Keratin for Black hair here
Effect of Brazilian Keratin on Weak or Very Fine Hair
A Keratin Blowout is extremely good for weak and damaged hair. If you have fine flyaway hair these treatments will add a more voluminous feel, plumping up individual fibres. Used in conjunction with Keratin based shampoos and conditioners, over time your hair will recover strength and new growth will be thicker.
Keratin treatments for Gymers, Swimmers and Active Types
A Brazilian Blowdry is ideal for runners, athletes and swimmers, even if you not looking for arrow straight hair, because it protects against corrosive elements like salt, chlorine, city grime and airborne pollution. Keratin treatments are perfect for busy gym lovers or anyone who struggles with the endless cycle of wash, dry, straighten, wash, dry, straighten, wash, dry, straighten.

Reasons childhood was better
So you just can't get over the fact that all of a sudden it's getting difficult to not take seriously the job you hold? Did you parents give you the "settle down" lecture too? Are you trying to act more cool by the day but silently know it's a lost battle when kids call you uncle/aunty? Well... Welcome to adulthood.
If you are still wondering why adulthood sucks and childhood was way better then read on. Below is a list of things that totally made childhood rock.
1. Your biggest worry were exams. Annual, half yearly, unit tests, pre-boards, boards and other such lame issues were the only things that caused you nightmares.
2. You could bunk school and college with less care than you bunk office. In fact after a point in life, you hardly bunk office at all. It boils down to permissions and sanctions. Basically you are dangling on someone else's mercy when it comes to taking time out for yourself.
3. You could speak your mind and get away with it. People either called you silly or uncivil. Words like decorum never ruined your day. More importantly you cared much less about people gossiping about you.
4. Birthdays were much better. When you are grown up you are more worried about having killed yet another year without any significant achievements. But childhood birthdays are all about cakes without worrying about calories and gifts without worrying about returning the favour!
5. You were so much more happy with yourself. The way your body was, the way your hair was, the clothes you wore everything! There was no time to care. We were all so busy running around and playing that none of these things mattered even a bit.

The members of the ROTR mod team has left the team recently. The first person was no other then team leader Red Army himself and the other is lead mapper Brandon. Both people haven been very important to ROTR but up until now, they have lost interest in ROTR and C&C due to their increasing interest to GTA:SA. They have both chosen another team member to suceed them. They are: Krit (Me) who would be taking over the position of Team Leader and our new mapper VoodooBenshee will be taking over the role of Lead mapper. But however, progress is still moving slowly especially with the skinning department (But I won't blame them, skinning is hard, I tried it). ETA to release is still unknown but stay tuned!
PS: Updates will be comming up slowly due to the slow developement progress of the mod.

"Less is More" Week 61
Good morning
Not such a lovely one, weatherwise, we have been too spoilt!
Over on
"Less is More"
this week, beng the 5th of th emonth it is ;Lucky Dip' We have chosen a colour picture inspiration from
Design Seeds
, I LOVE this site!
The wonderful
is jopining us this week.
Her card is superb!
My first card came together instantly! I stamped the Butterflies sentiment from a fabulous set my lovely Chrissie bought me last year for my birthday. Ashamed to say this is the first time I'd inked it! It is Katzelkraft Isabelle Norris English Quotes KT250.
I stamped using Stazon Stone Grey, then stamped with Versamark, the harlequin from a Tim Holtz set French Market. I heat embossed with WOW Neutral Ultra Shimmer Glitter embossing powder. So hard to photograph, but it is so lovely and glittery. I then took a Stampin' Up Pretty in Pink ink pad and using a dauber I sponged the ink in the right hand corner, out to the bottom edge and right hand side. Along the left hand edge, I drew a glue line with my Zig glue marker and sprinked with Glamour Dust. To finish I added the Martha Stewart punched butterflies. Colours are Stampin Up card Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette and Certainly Celery, lastly I added a few pearls.
For my second card I stamped the green spotted strip with Stampin Up Borderlines in Certainly Celery. Then I Stamped the square Solid Stripes, also Stampin' Up and heat embossed as above.
I hand drew the stalks. I wanted a modern funky look, so thought the freehand would have worked, specially in a dark grey [know it looks black!!]. However I didn't like it. So I redid it using strips of certanly celery card for the stalks..then didn't like that much either...have also glittered the green stems now!
Can see these ending up in the bin!
The Hero Arts flowers are from a set, the flower heads are in squares, therea re 4 designs. ~Again stamped in Stazon Stone Grey, watercoloured with pencils. The sentiment is a retuired SU one.
If I could have a last shout out for anyone wishing to join my
Stampers 6 Club
Starting April 3rd
Only ONE place left
Please email me for further details
UK residents only please

"Less is More" Week 60
Another beautiful day here in Shanklin.We really are being spoilt with this lovely sunshine.
I haven't had a particularly rushed week, but, it's one of those where I can't seem to make anything......you know how it is!
Lot of running around today, Chrissie too, however, is running around in a different way, she is off to the NEC with Anne. She is hoping to meet some of our lovely LIMettes.
SO wish I was there....sob sob
Anyways, onto
"Less is More"
We have Recipe week and
Take 3 Challenges
This is SUCH a fun week, you have SO much scope!
Have fun!
For my first card I used a Marian Emberson stamp, stamped in VersafineOnyx, Gems added to the flower heads. Then sentiment is
Pink Petticoat
Extremely simple
The challenges for this one are:
Week 12 Off Centre -
Week 24 Circles [under the gems!] - Week 42 Bit of Bling
I made this for a couple I know, marrying for the second time. New beginnings. I think the butterfly is quite appropriate for ths occcasion.
The butterfly die is Stampin Up Beautiful Butterflies and the little flowers are the Itty Bitty punches. Sentiment, again is Pink Petticoat;
The challenges for this one are are:
Week 14 White on White -
Week 16 Butterfly -
Week 55 Die cut -
Week 56 Don't Scrap It
I will try to add some more cards over the course of the weekend
Here is one I have made today
I took a scrap piece of card and trimmed to 4.5cm x 13.5cm, then using the emboss resist technique with Stampin Up Perfect Plum, Wisteria Wonder and Bashful Blue. The stamp set, apart from the sentiment is Stampin Up Creative Elements, I love this versatile set.
Take 3 are:
Week 16 - Butterfly
Week 28 - Use Ink
Week 6 - Off the Edge
Week 29 - Things That Move
Week 56 - Don't Scrap It
I had a 'little' present this week. Hubby is going on holiday again this year with our friends. I'm not a flyer and don;t enjoy the sun, so he felt guilty and made this purchase!!
You probably know what a shoe obsession I have and has always been my dream to own a pair. However, it's always receommended to go up a size with these shoes, but, being a stupid 8, there's nowhere to go up to!!
Luckily, they fit like a glove. Mum suggested as I went to squeeze my foot in..."Couldn't you have your toes cut off?.....thanks Mum!!"
If you aren't a shoe lover, then these will mean nothing........
if you are...SORRY! lol
Feeling extremely spoilt
Have a great week

When "More is More"
Well it is with this card lol
I was asked to make a card for my cousin to replicate this cake from
The London Cake Company
Isn't it a Bobby Dazzler!
The reason was a girfriend of my cousin had seen this cake that she'd have loved for her 30th, but, as it was so expensive, didn't expect it. I was asked to make a card, they coudl present to her before her party, pretending, ths was the 'next best thing'
At the party the spledid cake was going to be centre of the buffet table
What FAB friends!
As my title says DEF not "Less is More" but, on this occasion, it had to be "Overload City!
Thanks for visitng, feeling a little rubbish today, head a bit sickly/muzzy,
hey ho the sun is shining, so will get on with it!

"Less is More" Week 59
Good morning
It's Saturday again, don't they come round quickly!
It's Theme week over on
"Less is More"
and this week we have chosen
Boy, I had SUCH a hard time for this week! Despite being a SU demo I don't do that many stamping techniques, I do what I do, if you know what I mean! I rarely mask, hence... struggling!
However, here's what I did.
Les Miserables is my FAV musical, as it is for my friend Chrissie and many of you I guess. I love this stamp set and decided to replicate the Les Mis scene that represents the show. [The make escapes me, I will amend the post once I sort out whose it is]
I firstly stamped the girl, Cosette, onto my 6x6 card blank. I then made a 'stencil' mask for the torn flag behind. To achieve this effect I had to mask the girl using paper. Paper works best as card is thicker and likely to make a line in your design. I hand drew and cut the idea of the torn flag. Very crudely done, but I think you get the overall effect.
So I had 2 forms of masking, one with the girl and the other with the stencil.
I am refraining being over picky with my card, little bit's aren't quite right, but, looking at it, I'm pretty pleased with the overall look.....kinda!
We've had a good week with a 'new edition' to our family!
A shiny sparkly new car!
Well, not brand new, but, new to us. Only had one owner for a while, 2600 miles on the clock...what a steal! So we chopped in our 2 cars for one! Hubby and I will now share. Living on the island we hardly do many miles, so 2 cars were such a waste 90% of the time!
The buzz of a new car soon wears off, but, we are enjoying it at the moment!
Look at this stick thing inside......lol
I am off to 'work' today in the wedding shop I design for. I will then be in there most Saturdays until further notice.
Have a super week all and
thanks for stopping by and leaving such wonderful comments

"Less is More" 58
Good morning
Feeling very tired this morning, was up til about 3.
It was one of those impromptu listening of music!, Steve had been out and our friend was staying over. Music really does hold lots of special memories of our life doesn't it.
Off to have my nails done for 9am......SO not a good idea lol
Over on "Less is More" today our One Layer challenge is
and bling is back.....breathe!
Easy peasy for me. The fabulous stamp is by
Butterfly Kisses Chic Background
Stamped in Versarmark and embossed with
WOW Princess Pink
....scrummy! It is, as I said last week, THE best embossing powder, it stays just as sparkly once embossed and doesn't fall off or overheat, as I found with older powders from years back. The rhinestone embellishment is from
Hobby House
yawn, I know I use them all the time!! and a feather from my stash.
Here is a close up... I was trying to show you how crisp and sparkly it is, but I'm not sure if you can see it in this shot.
To my great surprise and delight I have been given an award by one of our lovely LIMettes
Thank you very much
I am also supposed to nominate 15 other people to receive this award, well this is the bit I'm afraid I don't have time t do, so if you forgive me, I won't

1 - I have been card making since 2004, but, have always been arty farty!
2 - I have a passion for shoes and have about 80 pairs [have recently thrown some!!]
3 - I passed my driving test first time after the 13th lesson
4 - I'm an animal lover
5 - I'm tall 5'8" with size 8 feet, which I hate cos if the 8 doesn't fit the next place is the box they come in!
6 - We love cruising and spent our honeymoon on the QE2, visiting New york, Bermuda and the Caribbean

Wedding Card
Another beautiful day here on the Isle of Wight, nippy, but, lovely sunshine.
I had to make a card for a couple getting married on Saturday. The bride Leslie is a beautiful girl and will make the most stunning bride. Her bridesmaids are to be in pastels. I was also asked to include their photo. To protect the surface of the photo, I also cut the heart in acetate, then stuck with a piece of double sided tape under the flowers
Awful picture agan, but, not complaiing about the sun!
Entering into
Kaboodle Doodles Challenge "Think Spring, Let's See Some Flowers"
I want to show you how en-trend my Mum was back in 1954!
It would have been their 58th anniversary this Tuesday 6th March. Dad passed away in 2005, but he'd have made some joke about them being together so long....Love ya Dad!
Back in 1954, they photographs were only black and white, but, these '2 young lads' that took their photos hand painted the photo to match the dresses, how cool!

"Less is More" Colour Week 57
ood morning, from a chilly Shanklin! We had a bit of fog that hung around all day yesterday, it wasn;t nice, dont like fog. One of the pitfalls of living by the sea I guess.
So it's Saturday and a new challenge on
"LEss is More" This week, ebing the first of the month is Colour and we have chosen
We are also sponsored by
WOW! Embossing Powder offer over 160 different colours of embossing powders: Embossing Glitter, Metallic, Puff and Ultra High to name a few collections. WOW! also sell Fab Foils, embossing inks, embossing pens, bonding powder, flock, stamps and stamping accessories.
Neutrals to me means NO sparkle, glitter or bling...SOB SOB!
I decided to use kraft for my first card. I stamped the Agapanthus, from the Kanban set I used on ym personal blog. It;s a super little sheet, available from Create & Craft only at the moment, I think. I stamped in Versamark then embossed in WOW Pepper embossing powder. For any of you that dont know, WOW embossing powders, are fantastic! I never used to be a big fn of heat embossing, but, WOw have changed my mind competely. Whatever they are made of give a superb finish, they seem finer somehow and are available in The most gorgeous colours!
Holding a dark brown pece os paper the same size as my kraft panel, I tore the bottom, then placed with the brown just down slightly. I prefer the ripped edge to be roughly the same shape. I roughly coloured the Agapanthus using my Chocolate Chip marker pen.
The brad [cou;dn;t resist snucking a little bit of bling on]is Stampin up, poked through, then Linen thread, also Stampin up wound round the brad, then secured behind before sticking. The sentiment is from You are Loved, again Stampin up.
For my second card I took my layout inspiration from our Neutrals colour block.
It is nothing like I planned in my head! How often does that happen!!
Looking at the photo, I planned my squares, roughly first on paper, then cut to size. In Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Crumb Cke and Sahara Sand.I then used Stampin Up French Foliage and embossing folders [Swiss Dots and Square Lattice]to create different textures. This again is heat embossed in Pepper.
[As you can imagine, all my other powders are all sparkly and shiny, SO not Neutrals week!]
For any Stampin Up products or if you would like to join my Stampers 6 club starting April 1st, please contact me
Only 3 places left!
Thansk for stopping by and for leaving such FAB comments, I truly appreciate them
Have a great week

Beautiful day here in Shankin, the su is shining and it;s quite mild again. Who;d have thought it for March 1st!
On that note Happy St David's Day to those celebrating
i have joined in with One Layer Wednesday today. I really should do more as it is something I thoroughly enjoy doing!
This week is
and Cream, Black and a touch of bling.
The flowers are from a newly acquired Kanban set, I bought from
Create and Craft
There are 4 A6 sheets in the set, 3 of them I wasn't fussed on, but I love the sheet this is on!
I have had a little play with my setting today. Usually just get up, put the card on my chair and take the pic!
Since I've been more involved designing with the wedding shop display of my stationery I think it adds a bit of je ne sais quois! Plus I've always been in awe of
. Aswell as THE most stunning cards, her display of them is fabulous.
Thanks for stopping by
Enjoy the sunshine, if you have it

The Bowman City Council approved several personnel decisions, including pay raises for some current employees.
Deborah Walker was hired to be the new Bowman City Clerk at a rate of eleven dollars an hour; additionally Angie Pullen was hired on as the Assistant City Clerk at a rate of nine dollars an hour.
Both those hires were approved unanimously by the Bowman City Council.
Three employees received pay increases, Jeremy Holmes from $7.25/hour to $8.50/hour; Tyler Wade from $8.50/hour to $9.50/hour; and Jerry Elrod from $13.47/hour to an even $15.00/hour.
Mayor Pete Gibbons said these raises are not to just be handing out the city's money.
"We do appreciate the work that our city employees do; we don't take lightly the management of the city's money, we're not just handing out money to hand out money", said Gibbons. "We feel that all these people have done an exceptional job for us, and we will continue to be fiscally responsible with your money. We went through the books to make sure we could afford the increases before moving forward with them."
All three raises were also approved unanimously by the Bowman City Council.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. ---
The Cal State Northridge softball team (12-18) lost 4-0 to LMU and defeated Seattle 10-2 in six innings Saturday in a pair of non-conference contests at Matador Diamond. After suffering a tough 4-0 defeat to the Lions, the Matadors pounded out a season-high 10 runs and 13 hits in defeating the Redhawks.
Seattle Recap
Northridge defeated Seattle 10-2 in six innings, pounding out a season-high 13 hits that included four doubles and a home run. Korinne Randazzo went a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate to set a career high and added a double, three runs scored and an RBI.
Not far off was fellow senior Mikayla Thielges, who finished 3-for-4 and tied a career high with four RBIs. She blasted her sixth home run of the season and also scored two runs in the victory. A third senior, Mia Pagano, had two doubles, a sac bunt and a run scored as well.
Madalyne Handy, making a start in right field, had a career-high two hits, two runs and two RBIs against the Redhawks. Fellow rookie Maylynn Mitchell added a 2-for-3 performance with two RBIs, a double and a run scored.
After Seattle scored a run in the top of the third inning, CSUN answered with two in the bottom half of the frame to take the lead for good. Handy had an RBI groundout that scored Tiffini Lucero and Thielges added a two-out RBI single to plate Randazzo.
The Matadors broke the game open in the fifth inning. Pagano doubled to start the inning and moved to third on a single by Randazzo. After a groundout that cut Pagano down at the plate, Thielges delivered an RBI single and Mitchell mashed a two-out, two-run double.
Northridge scored five runs in the sixth inning to end the game early. Pagano once again started the frame with a double and scored on an RBI double by Randazzo. Handy singled through the right side to score her and Thielges blasted a shot over the left-field fence to give her 25 for her career, the sixth-most in school history. The fifth and winning run came around to score on an illegal pitch.
All the offense was more than enough to support CSUN starter Shelly Tait(5-6). She tossed four innings with three hits and one unearned run. Tait also had two strikeouts.
Brianna Elder tossed two innings of relief work, giving up three hits and a run with two K's.
LMU Recap
CSUN lost 4-0 to Loyola Marymount University in its first game Saturday morning. Lions' starter Sydney Gouveia finished with 17 strikeouts as the Matadors could not solve the freshman.
Northridge managed one hit, a bunt single by Korinne Randazzo in the bottom of the sixth, to spoil Gouveia's no-hit attempt. She fanned three batters in the first, third and sixth inning and had two in every other frame.
LMU scored once in the first, twice in fourth and once in the sixth inning to take the victory. CSUN starter Mia Pagano (6-6) went 3.2 innings with six hits, three earned runs and two walks. Alexa Limon tossed 3.1 innings of relief, allowing one run and striking out three.
The Matadors return to action with a pair of games on Mar. 17. CSUN faces Seattle at noon and LMU at 2:30 p.m. with both games held at Matador Diamond. The Lions and Redhawks will also play a game starting at 9:30 a.m.

Nowadays, we live in a fast-paced world full of stress that we do not pay attention anymore to what we are eating. However, to live a long, productive, and healthy life is still a desire. One of the ways to become healthy and live longer is through eating organic foods.To understand the benefits of consuming healthy and organic foods, it is important to learn how these foods are grown compared to traditionally cultivated produce including the impact of farming practices on the environment. It is also vital to understand how a healthy lifestyle and diet can help live longer.Organic foods are grown using natural fertilizers such as manure and compost. In contrast, chemical fertilizers are used on commercial crops to increase yield. It is not unusual to see giant tomatoes or pumpkins thrive as a result of this artificial stimulation.
Another difference lies in the use of herbicides and insecticides. Organic farming practices do not involve chemical use at all. Instead, birds and insects are allowed to control pests in plants. Crop rotation, mulching, and manual weeding are practiced in place of applying herbicides. Therefore, organic foods contain no traces of these chemicals that are harmful not only to humans but to the environment as well. Organic foods are healthy and wholesome with no artificial flavors and additives.Perhaps, an alarming concern is the use of hormones in animals to stimulate growth as well as the administration of medications and drugs. In contrast, organic animals are healthy because they are free to roam, eat organic fodder and live in a clean habitat.The virtues of eating organic foods have been extensively studied.
One renowned study was undertaken by Dr. T. Colin Campbell. Known as the China Study, the eating patterns and behavior of people that live in several villages in China were studied. The aim of the research was to investigate the impact of an animal-based diet versus a plant-based diet.Drawing on the conclusions reached by the research, Dr. Campbell and his team raised several points. One of the points brought is that nutrients and vitamins provided by animal-based foods are also present in plant foods. There is no nutrient in meat or animals that cannot be found in plant foods. This means that even if a person decides to go on a vegan diet, it will not have an adverse impact on the type of nutrients that he or she receives.Another point made is the incidence of diseases and health issues due to a meat diet.
The risk of raised cholesterol levels is higher in people feeding on an animal diet than those on a fruits and vegetables diet. A high cholesterol is strongly correlated to a heart and coronary disease implying that a meat-based diet is a contributing factor. Brain impairment, eye diseases, obesity, cancer, bone disorders, and autoimmune diseases are other illnesses linked to an animal-based diet. In effect, there are more diseases linked to a meat diet than on a plant diet. People afflicted with such diseases do not live long.An interesting documentary that could be of interest is Forks and Knives. In a nutshell, this film sends the message that shifting to a healthy diet is a way to avoid illnesses. This means turning our backs on a diet that is meat-based if we want to live longer.
The benefits of consuming healthy and organic foods extend beyond the health and lifespan of a person. If people want to live longer, it is also crucial that there is still a planet to live on. Organic farming practices are safer and more sustainable since there is no use of harmful chemicals and substances that contributes to environmental degradation such as soil erosion and pollution.Eating healthy and organic foods also stimulate entrepreneurship amongst societies. You can grow your own organic foods or support farming communities by purchasing organic foods. Cultivating organic foods creates employment and spurs local economic growth while adopting a healthy diet. Eating organic foods means a healthy lifestyle that allows you to live longer.
Organic foods induce a ripple effect as well since healthy people means able and productive citizens. It also means lesser costs to families and to the society in general from fees that go for medications, doctor consultations, surgeries, and hospitalization. There is also a constant supply of labor if people were to live longer.While schools of thought differ in eating solely healthy and organic foods or following a meat diet, it is undeniable that there are plenty of benefits derived from consuming organic foods. Ultimately, it is the person who decides if he/she wants to live a healthy and long life. Changing lifestyle and habits can be difficult or even traumatic. But, a diet of organic foods is healthy and sustainable. You are more healthy and live longer the way Mother Earth intends us to live.
Benefits of Eating Organic Food
One of the ways to become healthy and live longer is through eating organic foods.

Elder Scrolls Online Requires Pay Monthly Subscription
Developers Shunning Free-To-Play Model
Gamers who want to play The Elder Scrolls Online will have to pay a monthly fee, ZeniMax Online has confirmed.
Speaking to Gamestar, game director Matt Firor said the studio is shunning the free-to-play trend in favour of the classic MMO business model.
He said: "We're thrilled that gamers are looking forward to diving into The Elder Scrolls Online and we've been working hard to deliver the game that fans want – one that's worthy of the Elder Scrolls name. Choosing the right business model is part of that. We are going with the subscription model for ESO.
"We're building a game with the freedom to play – alone or with your friends – as much as you want. A game with meaningful and consistent content – one packed with hundreds of hours of gameplay that can be experienced right away and one that will be supported with premium customer support.
"Charging a flat monthly (or subscription) fee means that we will offer players the game we set out to make, and the one that fans want to play. Going with any other model meant that we would have to make sacrifices and changes we weren't willing to make."
Firor said the studio believes "putting pay gates between the player and content at any point in game ruins that feeling of freedom".

I know this is a horrible photo. I have not learned how to do it when it is shiny gold as it bounches off the lens..but the pin is awesome. We made this one, and I love it, haha..it has a big slot to put in really wide ribbon, or two ribbons if you have pins for more than one Fraternity. (example- OES & Rainbow) you can put two ribbons in it.
The back has two nice butterfly clutches to hold whatever weight you put on it, so you won't have to put each pin on and off each time you visit. NO Ribbon included but the wonderful thing is the price. ONLY 5.00 each..You will love this pin. OES in full color, and the pin in shiny gold finish with the words Order of The Eastern Star....wonderful!!!!
These are beautiful, and so delicate. It says "You're a precious masterpiece, a wondrous work of art, molded by the master's hand and cherished in his heart"..just beautiful. The whole poem comes on a little card with it..If you, or a precious friend, collect tea cups , this is one you will have to have. Makes a beautiful present for a special Star.only 10.00 each
Officer SET of CLUTCH BACK... Complete Set - $120.00

Giving up control and empowering your team can be a terrifying experience for many leaders. You might feel compelled to watch their every move and peek over their shoulders. But by monitoring someone's every move, you're actually impeding his or her ability to grow. Give your team some space, trust them, and you might be impressed by what they're able to achieve. Tim Ferriss wrote about his difficulty with coming to this decision and how successful it was in his book, The 4-Hour Workweek. He's now a strong advocate for employee autonomy.
Breaking out of the traditional leader-follower mindset can help you create stronger staff bonds founded on trust, self-confidence, and achievement. When you create room for independent work and decision-making, your team might discover that they're able to achieve far more than they originally thought possible. Test drive these leadership techniques, and see what your own team is really capable of.

As another season of Mob Wives is laid to rest, it's time to dissect everything that was said–and worn–during this year's reunion episode. We've taken you behind the scenes for the hair and makeup process, and pressed you to declare the wearer of the best bling, but who flat-out stole the show with their glamorous ensemble?
Big Ang made sparkle a priority in a reflective top by Michael Mioné, while Drita paired a BCBG dress with her own makeup skills. (She knows a thing or two about it, we suppose.) These special episodes come but once a year, which is why Dr. Drew made sure to wear his fanciest of striped socks. We see you, Doctor! Let us know which cast member had your favorite look of the night in the poll below.

On today's Sunday shows, both campaigns came out spinning in force, arguing why their candidate is confident heading into Tuesday's election. Also, former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour says Hurricane Sandy broke Mitt Romney's momentum; national polls remain stubbornly tight; and National Geographic Channel's controversial bin Laden movie airs tonight.
Romney's Political Director Predicts 'Big Win'
Romney Political Director Rich Beeson predicted a "big win" for Mitt Romney on Election Day, dismissing President Obama's chances in several key swing states.
Plouffe: Obama Campaign Playing 'Offense'
Citing the president's slight leads in battleground states and the upper hand on early voting, Obama campaign senior adviser David Plouffe sounded confident about Obama's chances for reelection.
Barbour: 'The Hurricane is What Broke Romney's Momentum'
Former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour joined the chorus of Republicans suggesting that Hurricane Sandy could help Obama and hurt Romney politically. "The hurricane is what broke Romney's momentum," he said.
National Polls Show Race Still Extremely Tight
Obama heads towards Election Day with a razor's-edge lead over Romney, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released on Sunday, which showed Obama ahead by a single percentage point nationally, 48 percent to 47 percent. A new ABC News/Washington Post poll also shows a dead heat.
Gergen: Election is 'Impossible' to Call
"I don't think it's too close to call," said David Gergen, a political commentator who has served in both Republican and Democratic administrations. "I think it's impossible to call."
Portman Optimistic About Romney in Ohio
While Ohio remains a key element of Obama's reelection strategy, his consistent lead in polls there fueled in part by his role in the rescue of the auto industry, the state's Republican senator, Rob Portman, says Romney can still take Ohio.
Cantor Bullish on Romney's in Virginia
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said he's confident the Republican ticket will win in his battleground home state of Virginia. "We're going to win this state and I think we're going to win a lot bigger than we predicted," he said.
Axelrod: Tuesday Could Be a Late Night
Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod said that it could be past midnight before the country knows who the next president will be, but he said the Romney campaign was nonetheless in "deep trouble."
Gillespie: Romney Has Expanded the Electoral Map
Romney campaign senior adviser Ed Gillespie said that, with two days left in the campaign, the "map has expanded" for the Republican nominee.
Obama Campaign Says Libya Response Was Not Political
Plouffe said the decision to release the results of an investigation into the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya after the election was not political.
Bin Laden Movie Airing Tonight Gets Some Details Wrong
National Geographic Channel's Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden, which will air tonight, differs from the actual account of the al-Qaida leader's killing in several ways, according to a National Public Radio report.
Podcast: Colbert, Cocaine, Clinton and the History of Pols on Comedy Shows
This Week's Political Landscape, National Journal's weekly podcast (now available on iTunes), looks at the relationship between comedy shows and candidates, with guests that include former Rep. Robert Wexler of Florida and two producers from National Public Radio.
