Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
In order to reach a diagnosis for liver, biliary, or pancreatic disorders, a thorough and accurate medical history will be taken by your doctor, noting the symptoms you have experienced and any other pertinent information. A physical examination is also done to help assess the problem more completely.
The most commonly performed diagnostic procedures include the following:
Cholecystography (also called oral cholecystography or gallbladder series). A series of X-rays are taken of the gallbladder after a special contrast dye is swallowed, making it possible to detect gallstones, cholecystitis, and other abnormalities, although this is not commonly used.
Computed tomography scan (CT or CAT scan). A diagnostic imaging procedure using a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). A procedure that allows the doctor to diagnose and treat problems in the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. The procedure combines X-ray and the use of an endoscope, which is a long, flexible, lighted tube. The scope is guided through the patient's mouth and throat, then through the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The doctor can examine the inside of these organs and detect any abnormalities. A tube is then passed through the scope, and a dye is injected which will allow the internal organs to appear on an X-ray.
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (also called EGD or upper endoscopy). A procedure that allows the doctor to examine the inside of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. A thin, flexible, lighted tube, called an endoscope, is guided into the mouth and throat, then into the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The endoscope allows the doctor to view the inside of this area of the body, as well as to insert instruments through a scope for the removal of a sample of tissue for biopsy (if necessary).
Hepatobiliary scintigraphy. An imaging technique of the liver, bile ducts, gallbladder, and upper part of the small intestine.
Laparoscopy. Use of a viewing tube with a lens or camera (and a light on the end), which is inserted through a small incision in the abdomen to examine the contents of the abdomen and remove tissue samples.
Liver biopsy. A procedure in which tissue samples from the liver are removed (with a needle or during surgery) from the body for examination under a microscope.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). A special type of MRI that uses radio waves and magnets to obtain pictures of the bile ducts and internal organs.
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC). A needle is introduced through the skin and into the liver where the dye (contrast) is deposited and the bile duct structures can be viewed by X-ray.
Ultrasound (also called sonography). A diagnostic imaging technique, that uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues, and organs. Ultrasounds are used to view internal organs of the abdomen, such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys, and to assess blood flow through various vessels.
X-ray. A diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.

Hi. I just want to say I'm new to the group and I'm really new to blogging and hoping i can find some help. Ive noticed on a few blogs that some blogs have days like 'Wordless Wednesday' and there are a few others Ive seen out there and I'm wondering where you guys come up with ideas like these.
Thanks, Christal
Views: 71
I've done Wordless Wednesday and for a while did One Word Wednesdays and then Best and Worst posts...just a way to to shake things up. Recently I have begun Parent Fail Fridays (though not every week). Just keep blogging and reading blogs and the ideas will come to you.
Really it is just a way to get readers to have something to count on. For instance I think I am going to start a Pay-It-Forward Friday. That way readers know that every Friday that's what I'm going to talk about and perhaps I can get a readership for that. It depends on your blog and the things that you think you are going to talk about kind of frequently. Then try to come up with a title for those kind of posts. I wish you luck!
(Don't get too carried away though. I once stopped following a blog because every single day was designated and it felt pushed)
Good luck!
http://mygraceheart.blogspot.fr/ i will follow your blog please do the same thank you..

I have been waiting for a new tape form Outasight for a while, his last one, From There to Here, was the music that initially got me into his music. This time he teams up with LRG to give you 14 new tracks to vibe to until his album drops sometime in 2010. Congratulations to the homey Outasight too for signing recently with Asylum/WMG, I know all the artists out there grind hard to get to that point and I'm sure it is a big milestone for him as an artist. Grab the tracklist and direct download link below the break.
This is now at least a few days late but it still deserves a post. Le Tour De Loisirs Professionelle (i.e. The Professional Leisure Tour), is the latest free EP (i.e. mixtape) from the Kidz. Naledge and Double-0 needed a buzz-builder for their upcoming album Land Of Make Believe, and what better way to do just that than to drop some free music? I must admit that I frequently overlook these guys seeing as I'm not that big on the whole "hipster-hop" sub-genre with the exception of The Cool Kids. Although the inner nerd in me is irritated by the improper French usage (it should be "Professionels"…just saying), this tape seems like it's worth a listen.

DL: Wale ft. Tre & Young Chris – "Nightlife"
Great new track that is off of Wale and 9th Wonder's new mixtape Back to the Feature. The artwork and album concept are on point but that is to be expected because Wale has been a pioneer of the retro reinvention being adopted by a lot of the new school rappers. Produced by Mikey Mike, the track has a big sound and it sounds as if Wale's live band should be able to play it easily. Can't wait to see what else 9th and Wale cooked up for this LRG mixtape.

Commemorating National Latino AIDS Awareness Day
On this National Latino AIDS Awareness Day, October 15, 2010, the leadership of the Hispanic/Latino HIV/AIDS community is assembling an impressive national grassroots network of community based organization and HIV/AIDS services providers to focus attention on the many challenges related to HIV prevention, testing, and treatment facing the Hispanic/Latino community. This year's awareness day theme "Save a Life, it may be your own" speaks to the deadly turn HIV/AIDS has taken in the community. With Latino's generally testing very late, at times only months away from developing an AIDS diagnosis, the leadership has mobilized the community around an effort to increase testing and prevention efforts.
This effort is consistent with the recommendations of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy which is to focus efforts on communities disproportionately affected by the epidemic. Recently, the Office of National HIV/AIDS Policy (ONAP) convened Latino leaders, including some NLAAD members and Federal partners in the White House to discuss how they are implementing the strategy at the community level (please take a moment to see the video.
Latinos are more likely to contract HIV than Whites. According to the CDC, the rate of new AIDS diagnoses among Latino men is three times that of White men, and the rate among Latinas is five times that of White women. Even though HIV-related mortality has been declining since effective medications have become available, Black and Latino Americans are more likely than White Americans to die earlier from AIDS. In part, this is due to lack of access to treatment. HIV-positive Latinas are less likely to access therapy compared to HIV-positive men; and access to care and supportive services is particularly difficult for HIV-positive persons in emerging communities in rural areas, as well as other underserved communities.
Established in 2003, NLAAD is one of the nation's largest and broadest reaching community level awareness campaigns focused on by promoting HIV testing opportunities, connecting people to care and enhancing HIV/AIDS awareness among Hispanics. During the Hispanic Heritage month (September 15 – October 15) over 420 NLAAD eventswill be held throughout the United States, the US territories and Puerto Rico.
Please join the ONAP and our network of community-based organizations and service providers in helping raise awareness across the country of the prevention, testing and treatment needs of our Hispanic/Latino community.

Discovery & Innovation

Highly magnified image shows a sharp crack introduced into palladium-based metallic glass and the extensive plastic shielding, marked by the white shear lines extending out from the crack, prevent the crack from opening the glass any further. Inset is a magnified view of the shear lines (arrow) developed during plastic sliding.
Drop a glass and it breaks, right? But there's a kind of glass that while not exactly unbreakable, can be unusually strong. It's not transparent, and it's actually made of metal, but it's a "glass" in the technical sense—that is, a solid whose underlying structure resembles that of a liquid. These so-called "metallic glasses" are among the more interesting and useful new materials devised by modern materials scientists, and they possess valuable mechanical, electrical, and magnetic properties.
Now a collaboration of researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has just produced a new version of metallic glass that is stronger and tougher than steel, or any other known material. What's more, even better versions of this new glass may be on the way.
Glassy materials have a non-crystalline, amorphous structure that makes them inherently strong but invariably brittle. Whereas the crystalline structure of metals can provide microstructural obstacles (inclusions, grain boundaries, etc.,) that inhibit cracks from propagating, there's nothing in the amorphous structure of a glass to stop crack propagation.
The problem is especially acute in metallic glasses, where single shear bands can form and extend throughout the material leading to catastrophic failures at vanishingly small strains. The new metallic glass is a microalloy featuring palladium, a metal that counteracts the intrinsic brittleness of glassy materials. It marks the first use of a new strategy for metallic glass fabrication that should yield even stronger and tougher glass in the future, according to Robert Ritchie, a Berkeley Lab materials scientist who led the Berkeley contribution to this research.
"In our new palladium-containing glass, the energy needed to form shear bands is much lower than the energy required to turn these shear bands into cracks," Ritchie says. "The result is that our glass undergoes extensive plasticity in response to stress, allowing it to bend rather than crack."
Ritchie, who holds joint appointments with Berkeley Lab's Materials Sciences Division and the University of California (UC) Berkeley's Materials Science and Engineering Department, knows a lot about strong and tough materials. Two years ago, he and his research group mimicked the structure of mother of pearl to create what may well be the toughest ceramic ever produced. Through the controlled freezing of suspensions in water of an aluminum oxide (alumina) and the addition of a well known polymer, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), they produced ceramics that are 300 times tougher than their constituent components. Prior to that, he and his group had undertaken a study to determine why the bones of elderly people are more prone to fractures than the bones of younger people.
Using state-of-the-art imaging, testing techniques, and detailed mechanical analysis, they learned that as people grow older, their bones lose their ability to resist the formation and growth of cracks that lead to breaks.
This earlier research in material strength and toughness paved the way for the investigations into metallic glass. The first metallic glass fabricated by the Berkeley-Cal Tech collaboration was dubbed "DH3."
In DH3, the propagation of cracks was blocked by the introduction of a second, crystalline phase of the metal. This crystalline phase, which took the form of dendritic patterns permeating the amorphous structure of the glass, erected microstructural barriers to prevent an opened crack from spreading. Now the collaboration has produced a pure glass material whose unique chemical composition acts to promote extensive plasticity through the formation of multiple shear bands before the bands turn into cracks.
"Our game is to try and extend this approach of inducing extensive plasticity prior to fracture to other metallic glasses through changes in composition," Ritchie says. "The addition of the palladium provides our amorphous material with an unusual capacity for extensive plastic shielding ahead of an opening crack. This promotes a fracture toughness comparable to those of the toughest materials known. The rare combination of toughness and strength, or damage tolerance, extends beyond the benchmark ranges established by the toughest and strongest materials known."
The initial samples of the new metallic glass were microalloys of palladium with phosphorous, silicon and germanium that yielded glass rods approximately one millimeter in diameter. Adding silver to the mix enabled the Cal Tech researchers to expand the thickness of the glass rods to six millimeters. The size of the metallic glass is limited by the need to rapidly cool or "quench" the liquid metals for the final amorphous structure.
"The rule of thumb is that to make a metallic glass we need to have at least five elements so that when we quench the material, it doesn't know what crystal structure to form and defaults to amorphous," Ritchie says. "Traditionally strength and toughness have been mutually exclusive properties in materials, which make these new metallic glasses so intellectually exciting. We're bucking the trend and pushing the envelope of the damage tolerance that's accessible to a structural metal."
While the most immediate applications of this new metallic glass are likely to be in the electronics industry, or in medical devices, such as orthodontics or spinal implants, Ritchie envisions a future in which metallic glass could be used in airplane engines or large structures, such as bridges. Metallic glass might eventually even be used to make stronger and tougher containment vessels for nuclear reactors that would be more resistant to catastrophic failure.
"This metallic glass is probably the best damage-tolerant material we've ever seen," he says.

Temper Tantrums - Topic Overview
A temper tantrum is a sudden, unplanned display of anger or other emotions. It is not just an act to get attention. During a temper tantrum, children often cry, yell, and swing their arms and legs. Temper tantrums usually last 30 seconds to 2 minutes and are most intense at the start.
Sometimes temper tantrums last longer and are more severe. The child may hit, bite, and pinch. These violent tantrums, in which children harm themselves or others, may be a sign of a more serious problem.
Temper tantrums are most common in children ages 1 to 4 years. But anyone can have a tantrum—even an adult.
Temper tantrums are common. Most children ages 1 to 4 have temper tantrums. Some children have tantrums every day.1
A tantrum is a normal response when something blocks a young child from gaining independence or learning a skill. The child may not yet have the skills to express anger and frustration in other ways. For example, a temper tantrum may happen when a child becomes frustrated while trying to button a shirt or is told it's time for bed when he or she wants to stay up.
Some children are more likely to have temper tantrums than other children. Things that might make a tantrum more likely are:
- How tired a child is.
- The child's age.
- The child's level of stress.
- Whether the child has other physical, mental, or emotional problems.
Parents' behavior also matters. A child may be more likely to have temper tantrums if parents react too strongly to poor behavior or give in to the child's demands.
Ignoring the tantrums and helping a young child learn how to deal with anger and frustration are often good ways to deal with tantrums. Pay attention to what starts the tantrums. Knowing what triggers the tantrums can help you act before your child's emotions get past the point where he or she can control them.
You may want to use time-outs if your child age 2 or older has a lot of tantrums. A time-out takes the child out of the situation and gives him or her time to calm down. It also teaches the child that having a temper tantrum is not acceptable behavior. Time-out works best for children who understand why it is being used.

Juneau police say two people were taken to the hospital after a single-vehicle rollover accident on Egan Drive on Wednesday afternoon.
The 2013 Chevrolet Camaro left the roadway and struck a light pole before coming to a rest on pedestrian bridge next to Egan Drive.
The driver and passenger, identified as a 22-year old Silver Maake and 23-year old Siaosi Maake, had to be extricated by firefighters before their transport to Bartlett Regional Hospital. The extent of their injuries was not immediately known.
The Camaro was totaled and officers say the crash remains under investigation. Speed appears to be a factor in the crash.

Hi everyone,
Previously, When I was using V4l2 and Linux-2.6.29-rc3-omap1 on mistral revG kit, this same application was consuming 15 to 20 % of cpu on mistral revG kit . (I guess ARM there was running at less than 720Mhz).
But I now have a new OMAP board which operates at 720Mhz and the cpu usage looks terrible (around 30 to 45%), the difference being that I upgraded the kernel to 184.108.40.206 and also now I am using FBdev instead of V4L2.
Details on the components used:
Thanks and Regards,

Jenas believes the loss to the Gunners was just a bad day at the office.
He told Sky Sports News: "We are disappointed that we didn't give a good account of ourselves on the day.
"It is upsetting losing the derby games. We have just got to look forward now and try and push on for the rest of the season.
"I think we can look at it as a one-off, bad performance.
He added: "We conceded some sloppy goals, which, as I think the gaffer said, completely changed the game.
"At the time, on the pitch, we were looking around thinking that this hasn't happened. Everyone was really frustrated.
"In terms of morale, we have got to brush it to the side and move on. We have had a good season so far so have got to continue to be positive."

5. Gandalf's dragon firework in The Lord Of The Rings
If there's anyone who knows how to pull off a killer fireworks show, it's a wizard. The bonus is that even if things go wrong, with all that hair on their heads it will surely be delightful to watch. It's surprising that Gandalf even goes near a pipe – but considering the primo wizard stash he no doubt carries it's probably worth that risk.
The dragon firework, which is prematurely let off its chain in Fellowship, has to be the most perfect firework ever created. It covers all four stages: anticipation, delight, mortal terror, and finally celebration. Terror is a very important one – it's the magical moment where the sparks begin to descend and everyone realizes, for only a second, how irresponsible the whole event is. It's childishness on a massive scale. But before you can truly register this, another firework goes pummeling upward and it starts all over again.
Fireworks are why birds shit on us.
4. The Phoenix in Star Trek: First Contact
Nothing better shows the spirit of American ingenuity than a half-drunk yahoo moving faster than sound through the clouds in the hopes of breaking a speed record. Throw in rock and roll and two Starfleet officers who've traveled back in time and you've got yourself a great moment in Star Trek history. First Contact wasn't the best by far – but it filled in a great piece of the Trek timeline by showing us the moment when Zefram Cochrane tested the very first warp drive, drawing attention to Earth and causing our first ever contact with aliens. It's a cool story, and we also get to see Worf kill some Borg and Troy get drunk – all good things.
Interesting bit of information about Cochrane – while the role was written with James Cromwell in mind, they did almost go with another actor: Tom Hanks, who happened to be a big Trek fan. Turns out that Hanks had a previous commitment and couldn't do it, and while a lot of people (including director/Riker Jonathan Frakes) thought it was ultimately for the best, it would have been neat to see Hanks in the Trek universe.
3. The Space Ark in When Worlds Collide
They just had to be different, didn't they? When everyone was going all nuts over rockets launching vertically into the sky, the makers of When Worlds Collide went ahead and reverse-bobsleded that shit. But hey – it got them an Academy Award out of the deal so the joke's on us.
What makes this film so badass is that it has almost all the typical space-disaster staples in it long before they were popularized. Everything – the lone scientist pleading with world leaders only to be laughed at, the threat of extinction and the race against time to build escape ships whose occupants are selected by a lottery, young lovers who are separated by said lottery, and people heroically sacrificing their seats. It really sets the stage for many of the extinction porn we see today – if only the rocket sled track thing caught on, that would be boss to see done with modern visual effects. The characters also wore these killer space-robes, which should totally be a thing.
2. Johnny Knoxville's Big Red Rocket in Jackass Number Two
If there were a human on this earth that perfectly represents the freedom our founding fathers had in mind when fighting for the United States, it's Johnny Knoxville. No other person is so happy doing something so unwise, and the image of this man strapped to a big stupid rocket is more American than the flag itself.
The funniest thing about Jackass is the outrage people have for it – not the superficial outrage mind you; there's nothing wrong with finding their stunts upsetting or too gross to watch or anything like that – I'm talking about the people who see Jackass as some kind of sign that our country has gone downhill. People who throw up their arms about Jackass because its violent displays of fleeting comedic physicality have clearly never seen a Buster Keaton film or a vaudeville or side show act. Like the daredevils and freaks before them, Jackass scratches a very traditional itch in our country.
1. The Saturn V in Apollo 13
No denying this launch for a few reasons – firstly, it's an amazing moment of movie visual effects, and secondly, while it's badass enough to watch any movie character get launched into space –it's a whole other enchilada when it's something that actually happened. Seriously – can you imagine it? It's space! They went into space! It doesn't matter what happens to them after that, hell, just getting off the launch pad is beyond Fonzie-cool. There's no way that you can fail after that moment. Sure – they had some problems up there, but even so – the worst-case scenario in space is that you die, and dying in space is 10 times more badass than doing anything on earth. It's win-win.
This is why we need this NASA business: it's not about doing something useful with the effort but rather proving to ourselves, God, and any snot-nosed alien out there that we don't need air to have a good time. It's about working a job that requires a 50 million budget and five-star actors, directors, and producers to recreate. Ron Howard sure as shit isn't interesting in recreating just anybody's boring work week – so we need to crank it up. Let's get our ass to Mars. Go America!

The Orioles prepared for the winter meetings by officially signing outfielder Francisco Peguero to a one-year contract on Saturday morning.
Peguero played in 25 games with the San Francisco Giants over the past two seasons and batted .200 with a home run.
"He's an interesting kid," Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said.
"There are not too many lifetime .300 hitters. He just needs an opportunity to play."
The 25-year-old Peguero batted .306 in his eight seasons in the Giants organization, and can play all three outfield positions.
"He's a good runner, he's a good hitter and he's a good fielder," Duquette said. "He's young, has good tools and just hasn't had an extended opportunity."
[RELATED: Orioles acquire Brach, Phelps to boost depth]
With the departure of Nate McLouth, Peguero joins Nolan Reimold, Steve Pearce and Henry Urrutia as candidates for left field. The Orioles will look for more at the winter meetings.
It wasn't a shock that both McLouth and Scott Feldman left the Orioles to sign elsewhere. It was a shock that both left on the same day.
The Orioles were already looking for another starting pitcher and a left fielder. Now the search becomes more intense.
As baseball's decision makers gather for the winter meetings in Orlando, the Orioles have a hefty shopping list.
It seems obvious that they'll have to leave Disney with more than another Rule 5 draft pick.
Losing Feldman and McLouth, who were both clubhouse good guys, wasn't entirely unexpected. The Orioles would have liked Feldman back, but not at three years and $30 million. The Houston Astros, who were badly in need of starting pitching, stepped out on Feldman.
McLouth's loss is more expected. The Orioles valued him, but didn't want to pay him the two years and $10 million outside observers predicted. In the end, McLouth got even more than that, two years at $10.75 million plus a three-year option.
That's not bad for a player who was in Norfolk in the summer of 2012 and needed an endorsement from Tides manager Ron Johnson to get back to the big leagues.
McLouth provided needed spark for the Orioles in 2012, especially after Nick Markakis was injured, and had a nice start to 2013. Once the Orioles lost Reimold and had no other reliable left fielder, McLouth was forced to play against left-handers too often, and his stats dropped off.
He was also an honest go-to guy, who didn't especially enjoy the cameras, but was a great quote in front of small groups.
McLouth also showed off speed, stealing 30 bases in 2013, most in the early months.
In the National League, where McLouth has played most of his career, he can be used as a fourth outfielder, pinch hitter and pinch runner for the Nationals.
He'll get to face the Orioles four straight times in early July, and undoubtedly will receive a warm welcome when he returns to Baltimore.
Feldman was only around for three months, but he was a reliable innings eater. He threw the only nine-inning complete game of the year, and easily adapted to the team.
Manager Buck Showalter, who had him as a young pitcher in Texas, always liked him, and would have loved for him to stay.
Feldman said that perhaps 15 teams were interested in him, and in that mess, the Orioles didn't have much of a chance, particularly when the Astros went the extra year.
It's been a rocky week for the Orioles. They traded Jim Johnson just before the midnight deadline for tendering contracts, getting back only second baseman Jemile Weeks from Oakland. Weeks spent nearly all of 2013 in the minors, and it's no sure thing he'll start the season with the Orioles.
The Orioles are in the process of searching for Johnson's replacement. On Friday, Jim Duquette, a former Orioles executive and cousin of Dan Duquette predicted the team would end up with a new closer from three candidates: Joaquin Benoit, Chris Perez and Fernando Rodney. That would help.
The Orioles signed right-hander Ryan Webb, who was nontendered by Miami earlier in the week. He hasn't closed, but can provide depth for the sixth and seventh innings. Webb has impressed with his ability to avoid the home run.
With Webb, Josh Stinson, Darren O'Day, Tommy Hunter and perhaps a new top shelf closer, the bullpen could again be a strength.
It wouldn't be a surprise to see Brian Roberts re-sign as long as he'll accept a cut from his $10 million annual take over the last four years to perhaps $3 million plus incentives.
The Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays won the last two offseasons. It didn't help them in the regular season. While the Orioles don't have to win the offseason, it sure would help if they could avoid losing it.

Up next,
In their first round match with the Cougars (25-6), the Bulldogs claimed the doubles point and then picked up singles wins from Chelsey Gullickson, Nadja Gilchrist and Lauren Herring for the victory.
"We are a 100 percent confident right now, in great physical shape and it was fun to get out on the courts again and play a match because we haven't had one since the SEC Tournament," said Gullickson. "We'll be ready for Clemson. I know we played them already this year but that was three months ago and they have a different lineup and the matchups will be different too."
In doubles, the No. 1 Bulldog team of Gilchrist and Kate Fuller, ranked No. 46 nationally, was the first to finish, cruising to an 8-1 win over Samantha Maddox and Irene Viana. Then at No. 3, the duo of Lilly Kimbell and Maho Kowase clinched the team point with an 8-3 victory over Katie Lee and Christin Newman. It was a school record-setting win for the duo, their 20th straight this season and moved their overall record to 22-2. The No. 2 match was halted with Gullickson and Herring leading 7-3 with a match point. In the postseason, matches are halted once the double point and overall contest winner has been decided.
In singles, Gullickson dispatched Newman 6-0,6-1 in the No. 1 contest for a 2-0 Bulldog lead. She has a team-best 32-8 singles mark. Gilchrist registered a 6-4,6-1 win over Kelly Kambourelis at No. 2 for a 3-0 edge. Herring clinched the win at No. 4, defeating Maddox 6-2,6-3. It was a team-leading seventh match-clinching win for Herring. She had been out with an arm injury since April 1.
"I thought we came out and played really well;
The previous record for consecutive doubles victories was 19 by the All-American duo of Marissa Catlin and Vanessa Castellano set in 1999.

Oh, to be a New York Times writer. The Newspaper of Record yesterday reported that consumers who "liked" General Mills General Mills foods on Facebook could "give up their right to sue the company." Today, the paper backpedaled a bit. Under a misleading headline suggesting that General Mills had amended its legal policies, the Times reports that only consumers who join the cereal maker's online communities and download items of value, such as coupons, agree to the company's policy requiring legal disputes to be settled in arbitration.
It doesn't look to me like General Mills amended anything. It just told the Times that the paper's social media-friendly lede, linking the arbitration policy to Facebook, was a stretch.
The bigger issue is what the Times writers work so strenuously to keep out of their stories. The fight here isn't over individual lawsuits; it's over class actions, those cases that reward lawyers with millions of dollars in cash fees and give their clients little to nothing. In editorials and articles like this, the Times carries water for the class-action bar, which also happens to supply a significant amount of money to the Democratic Party each year. The paper conflates the individual right to sue with the right of lawyers to assemble huge groups of consumers, typically without their knowledge or participation, into zombie armies that can compel companies into settling on lucrative terms.
What do General Mills customers really give up if they agree to an arbitration clause?
Google Google "cereal class action" and you'll see. The attorneys at Blood Hurst & O'Reardon negotiated this Mini-Wheats settlement in 2013, under which consumers got whatever was left of $4 million after the attorneys subtracted expenses and up to 25% in fees. Class-action lawyers generally make it difficult to find out how many Mini-Wheats customers mailed in for their $5 checks, but in general only a tiny number do. Lawyers also resist any attempt to adjust their fees to reflect the effectiveness of their settlements; they get paid cash regardless of whether their clients got any value at all.
The General Mills arbitration policy is a so-called "clickwrap" agreement that consumers theoretically agree to when they click on the company's website for "discounts, content, features, services, or other offerings." It requires consumers settle all disputes in binding arbitration, instead of in front of a jury. Lawyers and many judges hate such agreements, both for cynical reasons — lower legal fees — and the sincere belief that consumers will always get the worst of a binding agreement with a powerful corporation.
But arbitration does offer some advantages over traditional litigation. Such as: No lawyer would ever take a small case against General Mills in the first place. The General Mills policy specifies a $200 filing fee, which the company waives in cases involving less than $5,000. And anybody who really wants to preserve his right of jury trial can opt out of the policy entirely by notifying General Mills in writing.
Yesterday's Times story raised the frightening prospect that consumers could be forced into arbitration even if an employee deliberately put ground glass into a box of cereal, as an official of the American Association for Justice, a trial lawyers' group, put it.
That's technically possible, although I am skeptical any judge would allow it and even if she did, it might prove a good case to settle in arbitration without lawyers taking 30% of the proceeds.
I spoke with Alan Kaplinsky of Ballard Spahr, a pioneer of arbitration clauses, and he said it's possible to sweep even personal injury claims into a clickwrap agreement.
"Clickwrap does generally bind someone to an agreement if it's adequately disclosed," he said. "Will it cover personal injury? No reason it can't, as long as it is written broadly enough."
That's not what's got the folks at the Association for Justice, Public Citizen and the Times editorial board so worked up, however. It's the class-action waiver in the General Mills agreement, which prevents lawyers from assembling classes like the one above. This is a very old battle, going back to 1925, when Congress passed the Federal Arbitration Act requiring judges to honor most arbitration agreements in contracts. The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld it in several landmark decisions, most recently rejecting an attempt to strip out class-action waivers in American Express vs. Italian Colors.
That's what the General Mills story is really about, not an individual's right to sue over a defective box of Cheerios.

Berlin Justin Bieber's pet monkey is set to become the property of Germany.
Mally the Monkey was seized by German customs March 28 when Bieber failed to produce required vaccination and import papers for the animal after landing in Munich. He had until midnight Friday to produce those documents.
Customs spokesman Thomas Meister said after offices opened following a holiday weekend that officials received no documents. He said the customs authority will formally transfer ownership of the animal to the German state on Tuesday.
Bieber will then have six weeks to contest the decision. It wasn't immediately clear when authorities will make a decision on the monkey's permanent home.
Mally, a capuchin monkey, has been cared for at Munich's animal shelter since being taken into quarantine.

If you are anything like me, you will know how quickly time passes. That one day you are holding your tiny new baby, and the next you are patting them on the head and kissing them goodbye as they start school – seriously! How many times have you heard (and said!), "oh it goes so quickly". Well it does. Often we are so stuck in our routines, that we can sometimes forget that life is what happens when you're busy making other plans (thankyou John Lennon :)).
So when Becky Higgins developed the Project Life Kit, I knew it was a rare opportunity to actually capture and grasp those fleeting moments – so that they are forever recorded for my children and my children's children (and indeed for husband and I when we are old and grey and we wonder what on earth happened to us during those 20 years of child rearing). In a nutshell, Project Life is a great big photo album in which you can store a year's worth of photographs, and space to store journalling cards so that you can actually record the story behind the photo. The scrapbookers love it because you can be as creative as you like (I am SO not creative) and the non-scrappers love it because you can do the most simple, basic version AND IT STILL LOOKS FAB!!!! This is where I come in!
I have chosen to complete my Project Life as a "photo a day". That means I have committed to taking one photo every single day in 2011. Now that did seem daunting at first, but now that I am almost a month in, I realise I am having trouble, not in remembering to take one photo a day, but in trying to find the BEST one that captures our day. Because Lucy is such a wee little baby, I am enjoying capturing how quickly she is growing. But I have also taken snaps of the kids playing with new Christmas presents, some baking, guests in our home, the rain and floods, and "normal" photos of our backyard. And I say normal because THIS is exactly what we tend to forget! We always have the big days – birthdays, weddings etc, but we so often forget that 90% of our life is just normal. And this is what our children will remember in years to come. Here is a spread from my album to give you an idea.
I have stored all my extra journalling cards, my pen, stamp and stamp pad in this cute little box from Ikea. When I get a spare moment, I can sit down and just have to grab the box and album and I am underway. Saves wasting 10-15 mins trying to find everything! I also highly recommend having your photos printed online – I use Snapfish. You can edit them at home when you have a chance, and there is no urgent dash to the shops to pick them – they are delivered to your door. My last order cost just 9c per photo and $2.95 for delivery – I think that is a BARGAIN! When the photos arrive, I just pop them in the box with the other bits and pieces 'til I am ready for my "session". My basic rule is to order prints every Sunday night, and journal once a week. I have journalled both before and after having my photos printed and either works fine.
I am so excited about completing my album this year, and I think it's a wonderful way to remind yourself of all the amazing moments, achievements, and people who are in your life.
If you are interested in completing Project Life for yourself – there are HEAPS of blogs dedicated to completing the kit, including some inspiring ideas for your photo a day. One of my favourite blogs belongs to a wonderful friend (she is my Organizing Inspiration! ) and she has a heap of Project Life Ideas here – Super Organiser Mum
Get snapping and ………SMILE!

The coaches don't think the future is bright but what else can they say? Louisville is still looking to bail as are Uconn and RU.... Louisville might be the only one of the three with a place to go... for RU if the PSU scandal didn't get them into the Big Ten as the squeaky clean, high academic counter to the tarnish of PSU, nothing will. The ACC would be the best fit but unless the SEC raids the ACC we've got nowhere to go... And here's my condolences to the RU season ticket holders who will have to watch one of the ugliest home schedules I can remember.
RU is in a bad spot - I don't blame Pitt for trying to get out of the BE mess...as for the future it looks like there will be 5 big conferences that matter: PAC12, BigTen, Big12, ACC and SEC. BE and conf USA will be also-rans. We can't find a landing spot - our only hope is to see FSU and Clemson hop away and force the ACC to create a real northern division with RU and UConn added to the mix. But dont count on it.
They talk about the major college programs losing money - I think most of those schools would laugh. Its not just the dollars in and out on the program itself but the amount of money these programs, especialy football, help draw into the universities from the alumni for other things.
Its a great way to draw in dollars for new campus buildings, programs and the like - football, the alumni comraderie, the special boxes etc all helped woo these donors. Many a school building and program gets money from alumni who's main attachment to the univiersity are the sports programs. I hate to tell the pointy heads this, but wine and cheese parites with discussions on 19th century poetry just dont do it.
Talk about an interesting take on things. What hurt Komen was not the reduction of funding to PP, who did not perform breast exams in the first place but received money for referrals and showing how to do a self exam, but the vociferous reaction from PP and its abortion supporters to the loss of money. Never mind that the amount was miniscule vs their budget, PP had a hissy fit and threw Komen under the proverbial bus and made them submit to the abortion lobby demands. Planned Parenthood made it a public fight. Bottom line is an org like Komen devoted to saving lives can't be associated with a group like PP that participates in the taking of life.
I rarely watch MLS but when I do I am amazed at how poorly the Red Bulls play defense. I'm not joking when I say most youth soccer teams have a better idea of defense than theses guys. On two of the goals the DC players dribbled through 3, 4 RB defenders? Talk about a team that doesn't care and a coach who has no clue. Get rid of that entire backline, hire some college soccer players and call it a day.
Sounds like someone isn't getting a kickback somewhere... how dare this Johnson guy come in here and not follow the South NJ rules of the game! Doesn't he know that every project has to produce some sort of job or contract for some politician's family member? Doesn't he know that 2-3 no show jobs are necessary to grease the skids?
One thing the SCOTUS questioning revealed was how the liberal justices walk in lockstep on issue after issue. This was especially disturbing when talking about the mandate - you would think the liberal justices would have some concerns regarding what is obviously a change in the relationship between the govt and the citizen, as noted by Justice Kennedy. Instead they spent their time propping up the Solicitor General as he bumbled and stumbled his way. As somebody pointed out on a news show, liberals realy don't care about the constitution per se - they care about outcomes. Since they want this outcome, the constitutional concerns are swept under the rug.
They're NOT special tax breaks - they are the same tax code deductions that apply to a multitude of industires. What Menendez and the dems are doing is trying to exclude 5 specific companies from getting a standard tax benefit. A very dangerous way to go - bad enough the Obamaites want to pick and chose winners like Solyndra - now they want to target individual companies for tax penalties.
Saying "actual football program" and "Notre Dame' in the same sentence is ridiculous. As for Auburn, they had their one year and now permanently sit as the second best team in their own state, and maybe 6th best in their conference.
I was raised an Episcopalian and married a catholic. We still put our kids through the whole CCD/Faith Formation program but my wife ceased going to church several years ago - she was tired of the priests, tired of the demands for money and sickened by the whole pedophile scandal and how it was and has been handled. There's something inherently wrong when finding a good priest seems to be the exception, not the rule.
But the Episcopal church is not the answer to everything. It has and continues to split along conservative and liberal lines. I find my church is becoming the "gay" church where damn near everything is considered ok. Look at Jim McGreevey.
I did always like that we welcomed everyone at communion, be they catholics or whatever, while the catholics always make me seem like a pariah of some sort as I sit iin the pew while my family goes up to the altar.
I luv the kid and wish him well at RI or wherever else he goes. He gave it all at RU - I think that's why no one suspected he would leave.
In looking at next years's lineup, it seemed his minutes would diminish with Wally Judge on board and the other bigs getting bigger and stronger with another year in the weight room. With Hurley at RI he would seem to have a chance for more playing time.
And don't discount the relationship with Rice - Rice always said he treated him like a son, and a coach's son gets more yelling, cajoling, etc... add that to less time and he may simply have wanted to move on. Rice should learn from this - I think he had already as he treated the freshman very gingerly this past year.
Ha,ha,ha,ha..... what a good laugh! I think there's an article at the top of the page about Brian Stack of Union City which illustrates the typical NJ situation.
A couple frank assessments:
- No matter what the recruiting services may say, as a team these kids are average.
- CVS can't coach offense
- CVS can't recruit a "suburban" outside shooter. None will come anyway - CVS is considred toxic.
- This program has been on a downward trend for years.
- Very few people care about this program
- There is no justification either in wins or fannies in the seats for CVS's salary
- CVS still does better then the men although I think Rice and the men's team moves to a different level next year
I agree, take Stony Brook.
And as to why not use the Prudential Center: why pay to open and operate a 18,000 seat arena when maybe 2500 fans would show up. At least at little Walsh they may be able to fill it up since its on campus.
I could never figure out why some of the sports pundits kept saying SH was getting an at-large bid. If you have a losing record in your conference and you out of conf. schedule is poor, why would you go? And Willards complaints are just silly.
Hey, I'm as crittical as anyone of RU sports but let me point out a couple things.
Rice is the first coach I can remember who admits he didn't know everything.
Rice didn't throw his players under the bus.
Physically, this is the first RU team that could compete with most of the Big East - it was mentally that they were lacking.
Ask yourself this: if Wally Judge adds a true, BE low post presence and the other bigs get in the weight room, will that be worth 2-3 more wins? And with the guards now shaking out into the true starters over the pretenders, do you think that can be worth 2-3 more wins? I say theu are very close to being very good. And I am no optimist - I just see it that way.
Ron Paul's alleged strategy was to work in caucus states because his various eccentricities mean he can never appeal to the broader GOP electorate in a primary. He's yet to win anything - I think he managed a 2nd place somewhere. Interesting articles on the web today about how Paul's own advisers are somewhat baffled by his poor showing - like haven't they figured out that the extent of Paul's support is the size of his event crowds x 25% since the same people show up at his rallies in a particular state over and over again.
The inconsistency didn't surprise me, just that it continued all year, right to the final game. I do think next year's team will be better - and I think Rice and his staff will figure out that some kids are progressing and some are stuck in HS mode (see Myles Mack) and that playing time next year will be different. I also think a year in the weight room will make a world of difference for some of these kids. Lets be honest as well - you rarely get to play 5 or so freshman on a regular basis and win alot - this was the first RU team in a while I thought was fast enough to compete, so I take that away.
And next year, barring some sort of epic collapse, is not Mike Rice's make or break year.
Tim P is not going to tear down a program after 2 recruiting years and start all over.
I'll predict now: 9-7 in the BE, 19-11 overall, NIT bound.
Coach Stringer actually nailed the problem on the head - everything IS routine, from her, her coaching, the lack of offense and the freshman who don't seem to pan out like some recruiting service says. Rutgers is paying a boatload of money to a coach who's better days are behind her. They don't draw well, they keep tumbling down the BE ladder - there's not much more to say. We never seem to be able to shoot the ball - saw NE and Purdue women play yesterday and its amazing what some outside shooters do for a team.
In one sense, Stringer is pulling a Fred Hill Sr. - no matter what the outcome of the baseball team year after year, he refused to leave and they didn't push him. Thing is, he's a bargain in terms of costs vs Stringer. She won't go voluntarily - TP will need to ease her out (he won't push due to gender and racial sensitivities) and stick her somewhere making $250k as an advisor to wome's sports or some other made up job.
My gosh, Andrew's media group of conservative websites has done more to highlight stories the MSM tries to ignore than possibly any other outlet. Just go to Big Journalism and it highlights on a daily basis the absurdity of what passes for mainstream journalism in this country. His Big Government site also is great to pick up some activities most citizens are unaware of. And he did while taking all those vicious attacks from liberals on a daily basis. He stood up in ways I, and I suspect you as well, have not despite our convictions.
Paul, your comments only show how out of touch you've become sitting there at the SL as their token conservative, libertarian or whatever else you want to call yourself. The fact that you went to one clip of the late Mr. Breitbart to discredit him shows more about you than it does Andrew.

With state budgets tight and demand for a college education at a high point, public universities across the country are increasingly turning to the private sector to build and finance on-campus dormitories.
Even before the recession, states found that companies that specialize in student housing could build residence halls more rapidly and cheaply than universities could. They can ease the burden of being a landlord. And perhaps most important, these partnerships free capital for facilities like classrooms and laboratories.
But as bad economic times make these arrangements even more appealing, the new efforts raise questions about how private ownership of dorms will affect student life and costs in years to come.
Public universities that have entered into or are considering such partnerships include the University of California, Irvine; Arizona State; Portland State; the University of Kentucky; and Montclair State in New Jersey, which in the fall opened the Heights, a two-tower complex with 2,000 beds and a 24,000-square-foot food court that officials say is the largest residence hall complex in the state.

Removes makeup, oil and smoothes skin all-in-one. Daily use hasn't dried my skin out either. It smells horrible though, but that's just witch hazels natural scent so there's not much you can do about it.

It cleansed my skin really well, minimized blemishes on my face and has helped so much with my oily skin. Great price for a lot of product. Only downside is that once you open it, you can't lay it down if you want to travel with it, its going to leak, so if you want to travel with it you have to transfer to another bottle..

It has a strong smell to it, but you get used to it with time. However, you get a lot of product for your money and it does work pretty well.
Fantastic Toner

Great Product

I really like this product as everyday face cleaner. This purifies my skin and closes pores.
Does not very good as make up remover. The scent is very strong, but not that bad.
Good natural product and very fair price.

Backbeard: Pirate for Hire
Title: Backbeard: Pirate for Hire
Author: Matthew McElligott
KDL Description:
Backbeard may have a new suit, but he is still one of the orneriest, smelliest, and hairiest pirates ever to sail the high seas. And his crew still likes to smash and steal things—they just prefer to do it in style. Unfortunately, certain members of the Pirate Council don't think he looks piratey enough in his new garb, and since they are just as stubborn as Backbeard, it's their way or the waterway.
Amazon Description:
Unwilling to give up his birthday suit, Backbeard sets out in search of new employment. He can pillage and plunder with the best of them, but who'll dare to hire a dirty, smelly ex-pirate?

Philadelphia Magazine
Philadelphia Magazine's Be Well Philly blog examines the role of exercise in helping cancer patients avoid side effects during and after treatment. Kathryn Schmitz, PhD, MPH, associate professor of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, says new research shows that exercising while undergoing cancer treatment — particularly chemotherapy — helps with cancer-related fatigue. The extent to which the healthy cells in a patient's body are taken care of will have a huge impact on a person's ability to have a good quality of life after the treatment, Schmitz says. "What I can guarantee those cancer survivors is that there are decades of research that show us that individuals who are more physically fit withstand any type of medical treatment better than someone who is overweight and sedentary," Schmitz says. "You recover faster, you withstand treatment better, all of your healthy cells are ready. They're in fighting shape." Read More

The Phillies played another extra-inning game Saturday night — 18th to be exact — and picked up another loss in this season destined for nowhere.
Rookie reliever Ken Giles came back to earth, permitting the decisive run in the 12th inning and picking up his first major-league loss in a 6-5 defeat to the St. Louis Cardinals (see Instant Replay).
But afterward, the talk wasn't about Giles or the offense clawing back from a 5-2 deficit. No, it once again revolved around the much-maligned Domonic Brown and his defense.
With a runner on second in the top of the sixth inning of a 2-2 game, Brown pulled up on a flared single that fell in front of his feet. Caught off guard by Cardinals catcher A.J. Pierzynski breaking for third, Brown paused slightly and then fired an errant throw, allowing the runner to score.
It was all part of a slipshod inning by the Phillies that uncoiled with another throwing error by Cody Asche, resulting in two more St. Louis runs.
"We struggled in the sixth inning," manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Not a good defensive inning for us."
And again, it all came back to Brown. The sixth inning could serve as a symbol for his season. The 26-year-old has struggled at the plate and in the field.
Saturday was just another game of Brown receiving resounding boos for questionable defense.
"It definitely wasn't a ball that I think I could have got to, but I should have charged it better than that," Brown said. "I knew it was a wet ground, I didn't know if the ball was going to shoot right or left there, so I was just trying to keep it in front. He took the extra base on me, I short-hopped Cody Asche and they ended up scoring a run, so it was a big play, for sure."
Has Brown had trouble reading balls or getting quality jumps?
"I mean, I'm not out there everyday, so it's kind of tough coming off the bench," Brown said. "I'm doing the best I can out there. I'm trying to catch every ball, and if I can't catch it, it's gonna fall. But I'm definitely going out there and playing as hard as possible."
As a result of his struggles, Brown has split time of late with Grady Sizemore and Darin Ruf.
"Ryno's doing the best job that he can with the outfielders that we have," Brown said, "just getting us all playing time right now."
Sandberg removed Brown in the seventh as part of a double switch, replacing him with Sizemore, while calling upon Antonio Bastardo to relieve Justin De Fratus.
"I don't know if those are late breaks or what but I know outfield defense is something we've stressed," Sandberg said. "We've improved overall outfield defense in right field, and center field's been better. Whether it's better jumps or having reads on those balls."
Brown said the shoddy defense is not for a lack of effort. Sandberg agreed.
"No," Sandberg said, "I don't question effort with the guys."
In the end, the Phillies helped turn that sixth inning into somewhat of an afterthought with an offensive rally. Ryan Howard hit his 19th home run in the sixth to pull the Phillies within two before Marlon Byrd delivered a two-run single in the eighth to knot the score.
"Well, the guys battled right down until the end," Sandberg said. "Battled back, had late fight."
David Buchanan threw five innings of two-run ball. He scattered eight hits on 90 pitches, but minimized damage. He wasn't thrilled with his early exit.
"That caught me off guard, honestly," Buchanan said. "I didn't expect that. I wasn't too happy about it. But I can't control that. I just do what I'm told. And I go for as long as I can. Unfortunately, that was only five innings tonight. But it definitely caught me off guard."
But once Giles surrendered his first run since Aug. 3 on a sac fly by Matt Carpenter in the 12th, the discussion reared its head back toward Brown.
It's been that kind of season for him.
"I feel great out there," Brown said. "When I'm out there, I feel good."

I use this in the Ash Medium Brown shade and it's awesome. Covers up brassiness and the occasional grey hair nicely. Lasts several weeks. Doesn't stink like permanent hair colours though it does have a somewhat chemical smell. This has a much better formula, colour, and smell than Clairol's Natural Instincts (another demi-permanent product) if you're deciding between those two.

I had blonde highlights this summer and wanted to go brunette for the fall. I dyed my hair with Clairol Nice n Easy Medium Natural Brown (permanent), but after only 3 washes, the color faded away and left me with a very brassy and dry look and my highlights came out orange - yuck! I wanted a shiny brown color that makes my hair look healthy again! So, I decided to try this product in Dark Brown 400 shade. I am not sure if the product is discontinued in the U.S., but in Canada, we can find it everywhere and they still advertise the product on their Canadian website.
Pros: My hair color turned out a gorgeous dark brown! Very shiny and soft and the color is even, unlike the Nice n Easy color! Also, I keep getting compliments from everyone at work on how healthy my hair looks! I see in previous reviews that people complain about the smell, but I actually like it!
Cons: For some reason, the color is a bit harder to apply than other products I used (gets hard while applying it, so difficult to spread), but not a big deal. Also, I don't like the packaging of the conditioner as I never know where to store the leftover.
This product is definitely a winner!

I used this to make my hair brown. I previously had kind of darkish blonde hair. It was a success, easy to use and what not, however my only problem was that after 28 washes it still to this day hasn't washed out. I kind of got sick of it after a while and thought 'well it will wash out' but yeah. From my experience it's great product and from reading the other reviews it did wash out. But now I'm planning on bleaching and re-dyeing or getting a hair dye remover to remove it because everything I've tried has done nothing.

Wanted to love this because the colors are so rich and pretty but they do not last beyond a few days on me. I don't wash my hair every day and they still last 5 days max. It did not cover my grays much either.
For the money they charge, I would rather buy permanent dye that does cover my grays and lasts for more than 5 days. Just a waste of money IMO.

I gave it three stars because even though the colour was absolutely fantastic ( deep purple) IT FADED UGH like most colours do. Sheesh. Now I have to keep on dying it. Do they do this on purpose? Too much chemical are going to KILL my hair. Ugh.
But, it's actually a pretty colour...........WHILE IT LASTS.

This is a great product. I bought it in shade 200 (Brownish Black) and it turned my frizzy mouse brown hair into a georgous black with reddish brown undertones. My hair is so shiny and silky, it's incredible. I have no idea what all the bad reviews are about. Best part? It only cost me $4.00.

I can't even believe the negative reviews on this! I love this hair dye and have been using it for 3 years now, nothing compares! My hair is naturally a light brown almost dark blonde and I initially dyed it a dark chocolate brown for prom. It faded a bit but I hated my roots showing so I re did it, this time using the soft black. I didn't intend on keeping the color but I wasn't about to bleach my hair and then dye it back to it's originial color. I think this dye works best if you're using the darker brunette colors, but I have never tried the light dyes. I just use the soft black to touch up every couple weeks now and it's made my hair healthier and behave better. It also thickens it up and gives it a glossy sheen and literally shines like glass plus making it softer. The little conditioner packet that they put in there is to die for, as well; If Garnier made liters of it, I would snatch it right up. I have pretty healthy hair anyways that goes down to the middle of my back, but this just takes it to another level. It smells like...well hair dye, it doesn't burn my nose though like others have. I wish more came in the box because my hair is pretty thick and 1 box doesn't cut it. It is pretty cheap for how amazing it is. Especially if you get it at WalMart. It's also not as JET black as I would like it to be, it is at first but obviously it fades a little and I've been trying other black hair dyes but they just don't compare to this one. Herbashine isn't damaging or drying (at least to me!), actually makes my hair healthier, shinier, and thicker. It lasts about a month or so on my hair. I've seen other's comments on how it's darker than they orginially wanted.. I can't comment on the actuality of the 'true' color on the box, being that I WANT a darker color because my hair is black, so that's perfect for me. If you're going for a dark brunette/black I would absolutely choose this as your dye. It may fade a tiny bit faster than permanent dyes but I can deal with that; especially with all the other beneficial things that come with using this. I will not go back to another hair dye, every time I do I regret it.

I used this demi-permanent hair colour last august so that's 7 months ago...and it just absolutely ruined my hair >:( gave me horrible frizz, which I have not been able to get rid of, though I have not coloured it since. As another reviewer noted, the colour does not fade out from the bottom portion of the hair - my hair is still red from the ears down. I dyed it mahogany brown...the brown faded out completely, and now I just have this cheap, brassy red look in my ends. When I called the company to inquire about fixing the problem, I found the customer help person disinterested to the point of being rude. Their only solution was that I should use more of their crappy hair dye to fix the problem :/
For a product that has a low amount of ammonia, it still smells horrid. The formula was difficult to work with - rather drippy - and it was difficult to apply well. Came with cheap, awful gloves. And the colour came out far darker than the image on the side of the box. Spare yourself the agony of permanently ruining your hair, and find a better brand! PLUS Garnier tests on animals, as I have since found out. :(

First off, I have bought this product about three times, in various colors for my medium brown hair dyed lighter with permanent dye this fall. I LOVE the way it makes my hair feel, and I love I found it on sale all three times. However, I find it didn't completely cover my slight amount of grays (whites?) and although the reddish undertones lasted, i still saw a root line. But, for 3 or 4 dollars, it makes your hair feel fantastic, like a clear glaze. It gave my hair lots of body and eased some of the kinks from my erstwhile wiry strands. I did like that, but maybe it was the hair mask/conditioner that did that instead:)

1992 Ford Crown VictoriaDr. Muhammad Shoaib Ahmedani, Clinton, IA, November 07, 2012 05:57I own this vehicle since three years. The engine is perfect. The gear has never created any trouble for me. AC is also in very good condition. I enjoy driving this car on long. Although I am also having a new model Ford Explorer, but the SUV does not please me while driving as I enjoy easy and confident ride on this old Model crown Victoria. However I suggest if some one is having US model of this car with closed grill from front, he or she should replace the grill with a grill of 1993 model car having three lines form ventilation to avoid heating of the car in at slow speed on a busy road of very hot countries like middle east.

In December of 2011, Patricia decided to expand the DigThisDesign interior design blog by inviting other creative professionals and Do-It-Yourselfers (DIY) to share their stories, design inspiration and decorating ideas.
The result is a ever-growing library of inspiring tips for interior designers of all kinds.

Through her design firm and her internet companies she has created an Interior Design Network of services.
