Two bison square off during the fall season in Yellowstone National Park. These animals may well be related to the ones that will be moved from the Henry Mountains to the Bookcliffs in the next couple of weeks. Some of the original herd in the Henry's came from Yellowstone.
Forty bison will soon have a new home in northeastern Utah.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources captured the bison on Jan. 15 and 16 on the Henry Mountains in southeastern Utah.
Many Utahns don't realize that a free-ranging herd of bison occupies 240 square miles of open country on the northwest side of Lake Powell.
The Henry Mountains herd began in 1941, when the Utah Department of Fish and Game trucked three bulls and 15 cows from Yellowstone National Park to the area. That small herd of 18 animals has grown to more than 300 bison today. The herd continues to provide Utah's sportsmen with a unique hunting opportunity.
The bison that were recently captured on the Henry Mountains will join about 50 bison that already occupy the Book Cliffs in east-central Utah. This herd was established in 2008 and 2009 with 14 animals donated from the Ute tribe and an additional 30 bison coming from the Henry Mountains. Calves have been born since then, which has added even more animals to the herd.
The 40 bison, which are scheduled to be released in the Book Cliffs on Jan. 25 (depending on the weather), will bolster Utah's newest bison herd.
Capturing and moving a buffalo is extremely risky. To try and minimize the danger, the DWR decided to capture only calves, cows and yearling bulls. These animals weigh between 300 and 800 pounds.
The DWR developed a capture plan that involved the use of two aircraft-a fixed wing aircraft with DWR spotters in it, and a helicopter capture craft operated by Leading Edge Aviation. The spotters kept track of the bison herd from the air, while the capture craft concentrated entirely on the rodeo show.
Once the spotters spotted the bison, they let the capture crew know where the animals were. The helicopter then closed in and singled out one bison. That animal was cut out from the herd, and a net from a specially designed rifle was fired over it.
Once the net landed on the animal, the net entangled the bison and it dropped to the ground. At that point, crewmen called "muggers" jumped from the chopper and blindfolded and hobbled the immobilized animal.
The muggers then rolled the animal into a carry bag. Within seconds of rolling the bison into the bag, the chopper dropped a cable to the muggers, and they attached the cable to the bag. The helicopter then slung the bison through the air to a crew waiting on the ground.
The ground crew consisted of DWR personnel. The crew was positioned about 10 air miles from the capture location, on one of only a few roads that access the southeast portion of the Henry Mountains. (Known as the Burr Trail, this secondary road connects Bullfrog with Escalante.)
The ground crew's job was to transfer the slung bison into a waiting horse trailer. Before placing the bison in the trailer, the crew performed health checks and drew blood samples for laboratory testing.
After the horse trailer was fully loaded with bison, the captured animals were driven to Antelope Island State Park. They'll stay in quarantine at the park until blood tests certify that they are free of disease.
After an "all clear!" from the state veterinarian, the bison will finish their trip to the Book Cliffs.

BUFFALO, N.Y.- It's a post-Easter tradition that seems to get bigger and bigger every year and Monday's Dyngus Day festivities throughout WNY was no exception.
Historically, the day is a celebration of Polish-American cuture and marks the end of the restrictions of the Lenten season. But like many ethnic holidays throughout the area, everyone and anyone is invited and encouraged to participate.
From heaping plates full of traditional Polish food, a kielbasa tasting contest and parade, Western New Yorkers got their Dyngus on at several dozen locations. The day got underway with a Dyngus Day mass at Corpus Christi Church on Clark Street in Buffalo.
Festivities wrapped up with the first ever Dyngus Day fireworks over the heart of Polonia in the vicinity of Memorial Drive and Peckham Street.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
Two presentations to the board of the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum lastThursday introduced several promotional ideas and marketing concepts to local civic leaders.
While the presentations were not connected, the ideas and concepts seemed to go hand in hand, addressing efforts to make Price a destination community with a center.
The first presentation was done by Dave O'Brien. He represented Carbon County Small Business Alliance at last.
CCSB was formed earlier in the year by a group of local business owners to find ways to promote the area. The group's members include O'Brien, Sam Farlaino, Tony Basso, Neil Breinholt, Frank Peczuh, Angelo Kiahtipes and Jerry Carlson.
O'Brien joined many of the concepts that have been batted around business circles for years, from branding the community to leading tourists into the center of town.
"We can find ways to get people off the bypass road and onto Main Street," pointed out O'Brien. "What we are missing is some marketing opportunities for what we already have in the community."
Finding a center - a place that can bring people into town - is important, added O'Brien. The local community has actually had a center for a long time - the CEU Prehistoric Museum.
In the presentation, O'Brien pointed out that the advertising is good from some points of entry into the local community.
Signs in Utah County on U.S. Highway 6 and along the route down Price Canyon for the museum and Nine Mile Canyon are good, noted O'Brien. Coming from Emery County on Utah State Road 10, there is also some good advertising. But on the eastern route from the Colorado direction, the marketing approach has been non-existent.
In terms of traffic, O'Brien said the eastern approach into the county actually handles more vehicles than the route coming from the west.
However, the CCSB proposes to change the situation with a series of signs and drawings designed to attract more visitors to the museum and the businesses in downtown Price.
One of the group's proposals is to use the dinosaur theme strongly in the marketing of the area, possibly using a series of "raptors" both in signs and figures in various areas to attract people to town.
But even with marketing and branding, traffic flow traveling through the town will head in the direction of the wrong places if steps aren't taken to draw people into the local business areas.
"The original intent of some of the rerouting of traffic when the bypass was built was for truck traffic, not for regular traffic," said O'Brien. "We need to change that."
Suggestions for accomplishing the goal included the following:
Changing the entrance to Price Main Street from the west by drawing people off the overpass through the railroad underpass where U.S. 6 used to come into town.
Using private properties around the city that border the main throughfares to advertise all the local services and the museum.
Once the county ambulance garage has been relocated, using the lot as an overnight recreational vehicle parking area.
Possibly placing a gallery at the site to display local artist Gary Prazen and others work in the town. Another feature that may be added in two intersections downtown could be centerpieces featuring Prazen's work as well.
The other group that made a presentation is a marketing company called the ThinkTank Creative Consortium. They also suggested new marketing techniques because they think people just don't understand what Price has to offer.
"It is our belief that many Utah residents, in addition to out of state tourists, are simply unfamiliar with everything that Price has to offer," the group said in it's presentation materials. "By making this potentially vast audience aware of stellar destination attractions, such as Nine Mile Canyon, the San Rafael Swell, Goblin Valley State Park, and historic Helper."
The company largely feels that visibility is important, and they presented materials to the group that promoted this idea. A series of signs, figures and wraps around town and within sight of the entrances to Price is key to the ideas.

Ethanol is a renewable energy source that produces less air pollution than pure gasoline. But to a man who starts a lawn mower on a hot afternoon to be greeted by the abrasive sound of a failing engine, its a source of irritation.
Ethanol-free gasoline has made a strong comeback at gas stations in the north country, however, with Nice N Easy recently joining Fastrac Markets and many marinas by offering the premium fuel at its pumps. The 91 octane, non-ethanol gasoline was launched about two weeks ago at 14 Nice N Easy locations in the north country. The stores are co-owned by franchisee Edward J. Valentine, who did not return calls seeking comment. The more pricey ethanol-free variety has become a niche fuel for owners of lawn mowers, snowblowers, dirt bikes and power boats that have small engines that can be harmed by ethanol.
Fastrac introduced non-ethanol gasoline at 45 upstate locations in the summer of 2012, including locations in Watertown on Arsenal and State streets, and in Lowville on Shady Avenue.
On Tuesday, staffers at the Nice N Easy in Sackets Harbor, 13821 Route 3, said the store has been swamped by boaters whove filled up with the new fuel en route to Henderson Harbor, where they launch boats on Lake Ontario.
Every year, ethanol gums up the motor in my boat, so I need to get it serviced, said Sackets Harbor resident George M. McCulloch, who visited the store Tuesday. He plans to fill up his 20-foot fishing boat with 50 gallons of the ethanol-free fuel here before launching it in a slip at Madison Barracks Marina, which sits on Black River Bay.
Non-ethanol fuel is great, he said. Its horrible what ethanol does, particularly to inboard-outboard motors. It just gums it right up.
When motors are running, ethanol-based gasoline tends to separate water and fuel to disrupt the operation of fuel pumps and carburetors. It gradually collects moisture if left in equipment for long periods, corroding carburetors until machines dont start.
Most of the marinas in the Thousand Islands region began offering ethanol-free fuel last year, said David E. Cornell, co-owner of Cornells Marina in Henderson Harbor. Though the marina doesnt offer fuel, it frequently repairs the carburetors of boat engines that have been destroyed by ethanol-based gas.
The trend at marinas really started last year of giving ethanol-free gas, Mr. Cornell said. Before marinas got ethanol-free, I was selling K100 fuel treatment because thats the only thing that would keep the carburetor burning the fuel. We have a lot of people with carburetor problems here, because they dont buy (fuel treatment) for the problem. Its caused by water that gets into the gas. Ethanol thats open to the atmosphere draws 10 percent moisture, so 1,000 gallons of gas can draw 100 gallons of water.
Though using fuel treatment can solve the problem, Mr. Cornell said, more boaters are now using only ethanol-free fuel to be on the safe side.
I think people are getting close to being educated about this, he said.
Ethanol-free fuel also is a boon for yard equipment. A pair of friends eating lunch at the Subway inside the Sackets Harbor store Tuesday said they both filled up 5-gallon containers with the premium fuel during the past two weeks, to be used for lawn mowers, weed trimmers and other yard equipment.
Three Mile Bay resident Lyle M. Weaver said his lawn mowers carburetor has been repaired twice as a result of using gas with ethanol.
I treated the fuel with an additive for ethanol and still had problems, he said.
The price of ethanol-free premium gasoline Thursday at the store was $4.15 per gallon, compared with $3.70 for regular unleaded. Mr. Weavers friend Tedd R. Jamieson said treating gasoline with additives for ethanol has kept his yard equipment operating. Even so, hes now willing to purchase the ethanol-free variety at a higher cost to avoid problems.
It costs more, but I now dont have to buy the treatment, he said.

exhibition: Blur of the Otherworldly: Contemporary Art, Technology, and the Paranormal
The Blur of the Otherworldly: Contemporary Art, Technology, and the Paranormal
Center for Art and Visual Culture, UMBC, Baltimore, MD
Curated by Mark Alice Durant and Jane D. Marsching
October 20, 2005 -- December 17, 2005,
Opening Reception October 20th from 5 - 7pm
Organized by the Center for Art and Visual Culture, The Blur of the Otherworldly: Contemporary Art, Technology, and the Paranormal is a major traveling exhibition featuring twenty eight contemporary artists whose work employs modern communication technologies (photography, film, video, computers, radio, internet, and digital media) to explore culturally inbred questions / superstitions concerning parallel worlds to our own.
Today, the amount of attention devoted to paranormal phenomena such as UFOs, demonic possession, psychics, and ghosts in the media indicates that photography 's early fascinations have not disappeared. Millennial angst, bewildering leaps of science, wildly improbable technological inventions, and ever-decreasing wilderness as human sprawl grows exponentially, makes other worlds once again appear possible, even probable, and definitely alluring. Our escalating desire to prove the existence of another dimension (no matter which one) is linked to photography, with its history of providing us with our proofs. Seduced by the invisible in the face of the medium's relentless and dull dependence upon the physical, photography as a tool of fact (in science), fantasy (in spirit photography), and invention (in the hands of artists) is exploring new frontiers once again.
Included in the exhibition are: Mark Amerika, Zoe Beloff, Diane Bertolo, Jeremy Blake, Corrine May Botz, Susan Collins, Gregory Crewdson, Paul DeMarinis, Spencer Finch, Ken Goldberg, Susan Hiller, Marko Maetamm, Miya Masaoka, Jennifer and Kevin McCoy, Mariko Mori, Maria Miranda and Norie Neumark, Paul Pfeiffer, Fred Ressler, John Roach, Ted Serios, Leslie Sharpe, Chrysanne Stathacos, Thomson & Craighead, Suzanne Treister, and Anne Walsh & Chris Kubick

After leaving the 100th birthday parade for Sutherlin OR,
I had went to the park to see the other activities.
Then this rainbow cloud appeared, and I took a shot. I didn't think it would last that long but it did. My last shot I took of it was 23 min later. Then My battery went out but finally left over an hour later and it was still visible. There was also a visible ring around the sun later on, one of the pictures I took has part of it, since the trees blocked the rest of the view for that.

A conservative legal advocacy group has come to the rescue of a New Jersey man who was told by authorities in his community that he could not display a cross in his yard. In early July the Alliance Defense Fund sent a letter to officials in the township of Livingston asking them to cease from employing an ordinance prohibiting homeowner Patrick Racaniello from displaying crosses in various areas of his front yard. Local police had used the ordinance as justification for ordering Racaniello to remove a cross he was displaying on a tree in his front yard in celebration of Lent, after one of his neighbors had complained.
"It's ridiculous to stop citizens from displaying a cross on their own property," said ADF attorney Jonathan Scruggs, who is representing Racaniello. "The Constitution guarantees the right of Americans to express their religious beliefs in this fashion, and no local ordinance can trump that." Scruggs noted that in the present case, "the ordinance itself doesn't actually even prohibit these crosses. The law is being used in a vague fashion to stop him from doing what he wishes on his own private property."

The reality is that it doesn't really matter, there's clearly tons of people skipping security and there's no impact. It's hardly a real security concern if someone has access while on duty but skips security while off duty. And it's not like the checkpoints are effective anyway.
The real "problem" is that it demonstrates how ineffective and pointless the TSA is anyway.
Thank you! TSA's retarded rules drive me nuts. I mean, I used to go from the parking lot, into ops, straight out to the ramp and onto a plane to start work, no search needed. But, if I had a wheel chair passenger to help through the security point, I have to strip off everything to help them through the check point if I'm not lucky enough to have another employee on the other side to "Hand them off" to... And I'm not even going anywhere!
And yeah, we get employee lines for when were flying out, but we still get checked. And the employee lines are really there to get flight crews through to their birds on time, we just get lucky enough to be allowed to use them also lol. Or thus has been my experience so far.
Rules are rules. It was very clearly explained to me when I got my SIDA badge that it was only to be used by me while on duty, and that I was not to use it in any way to help anybody circumvent security. I signed a document that said I understood that and that I accepted any consequences for failing to follow established security procedures. If I mess up, I am fired. That simple. And when I am traveling my badge does not mean I get to the front of any line, skip any procedure, or anything. I am simply a passenger that does not have SIDA access. Yes, while on duty I have to clear TSA. And so what? That is just part of the job. Yea, I can cut to the front of a line but I try to use cheakpoints with an employee lane whenever possible to prevent doing that. These employees knew better. They knew the rules, but decided that they did not apply to them. Well they do.
In the article you can see how the "privileged" are treated differently. This article and the issue is, people bypassing security for personal gain. Security is there for a reason, and everyone is subject to it. The CAL worker who bypasses security, gets fired. He knew the consequences, he's out of a job. The Chief Operating Officer for American Eagle breaks the exact same law, bypassing security, and loses his badge and has to go through retraining to get it back. Why? Because he is privileged. Same crime, different penalty. What happened to the TSA violator, the FAA manager? Slap on the hand. Bag smasher....fired. As long as there are "exceptions" and TRUE lack of enforcement..the system is a self sustaining joke.
Why are we still using 16th Century badges? Use biometrics. No doors for workers, let them enter through a man trap.
"We don't need to show you no stinking badges!"
-Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Airport security is a joke. Period.
If large employers can screen their employees in and out, so can airports.
As we have seen over the years, the current system is wide open to abuse and fraud.
Crooks investigating crooks!!! What a concept!!!
[This poster has been suspended.]
LOL Yep thats a dam fact... It did get a memo sent to all of us "flight crew" at my airline. Say n don't try this the News people are pushing TSA and DFW so look out. Bad part is i bet some one will do it with the memo in ther bag. lol
I was just there and no one is amused.How does the saying go "Just takes one bad apple." OK, so there are some and this is what Big Brother uses as an excuse to monitor more and more.
The silly thing is that employees don't even have to wait in lines at the checkpoints. There are employee lines for employees without SIDA badges that are usually very short.
SIDA is a responsibility and a privilege.
It's a government ran operation staffed by people who have never had any form of power in their life and now have a chance to show off their so called power and authority. Half of them should be prosecuted and sent to jail for the unneccessary things they do while at work. Do something about it and quit whinning.
Makes me feel safer. What a joke. But no handcream or cup cakes were harmed.
If your a top Airline Executive and you pull this crap, what else is this idiot guilty of?
This should start an all out WAR against EVERYONE who lie,cheat and steal.
And a new law should be created with real mandatory jail time. What national tragedy are waiting for? Were just dying to repeat history...
If you have Escort privileges, what is the problem... If no escort, then you broke the rules.
Back in 2000 I snuck my ex-wife to my ops office at DFW and had a good time :) Does that count?
uh... proof read , yea

Why the solo canoe is my favorite
Dave Foley
Wednesday, May 01, 2013 8:19 AM
We've got canoes and kayaks stored under the deck, sitting on a rack and hanging from the garage ceiling. Ten of them altogether. But if I could only keep one boat, it would be the first boat I bought back in 1983, my Sawyer DY Special solo canoe.
I paddled tandem canoes for years, mostly as a camp counselor taking kids down Michigan rivers or leading them on forays into the Canadian bush. If I wanted to paddle and no partner was available, I put a cement block in the stern of a tandem canoe and sat in the bow seat facing the cement block. My brother Steve, the family canoe guru, told me this arrangement would put me closer to the middle, which was the place to be for solo paddling. After a few months of this, I was ready to buy a real solo canoe. I drove to Ann Arbor, selected a 17-foot DY Special and bought it without even testing it.
I quickly discovered that paddling a solo canoe was a huge improvement over trying to handle a tandem canoe alone. The mechanics of steering were different, however. The straight ahead conventional canoe paddle stroke was the same, but for turning, forget the rudder or j-stroke. They don't work when you are sitting in the center of a boat. It's a bow rudder that will move you to the right or left. The best results come when you get up some speed then reach forward to sink the blade just below the water surface.
Since most of my paddling was done right at home on Lake Mitchell or in the nearby Manistee River, purchasing a 17-foot canoe proved wise. Solo canoes range from 13 to 17 feet in length. Longer boats, such as the DY Special, are harder to turn, but they track well, meaning that they are easier to paddle in a straight line. However, when I venture up the narrow and twisting Mitchell's outlet creek, a shorter boat would be easier to maneuver.
Temporarily tippy
The first time I sat in my Sawyer solo, the boat shivered in the water as my body sought balance. This tippiness was alarming. I wondered if I had made the right choice. I should have realized that a little initial instability was to be expected as the canoe's width was almost a foot narrower at the center of the gunnels than the tandem canoe. The thinner width was necessary if I was to do paddle strokes without hitting my hand on the side of the canoe. As I began to paddle, things improved. Within the first hour, I felt completely at home in my new boat and didn't worry about flipping.
Something I didn't realize until I began to kayak was how much higher one sits in a canoe. Canoes offer a much better view down into the water, a definite advantage for spotting hazards and prime fish habitat. On calm days I have been known to even stand up, increasing the risk of tipping but to get a better angle from which to scan the shallows for spawning fish.
That first summer with my solo canoe, I headed to Quetico Provincial Park. I added my boat to the fleet of three tandem boats in our group. On the water, not having to coordinate with a canoe partner meant I was free to do whatever came to mind. While my fellow paddlers pointed their boats to the next destination, I was able to zip over to the shoreline to make a few casts or linger over a drop-off to see if I could entice a bass.
A solo paddler, I discovered, is beholden to no one. These side excursions, weren't a problem since longer solos like the Sawyer are quick boats and I could easily catch back up to the other canoes. My trip companions were jealous of all the fun I was having and by the second day I was giving others in the group opportunities to try out the solo canoe.
Though the wider tandem canoes could haul more gear, I still was able to transport two packs. I imagine there is room enough in my canoe to take all that I need for a week of solo camping.
For portaging, you need to purchase a clamp-on yoke with pads or foam cups. Before each carry, the sliding seat is shoved back and the yoke is secured to the gunnels at a point where the boat balances. The craft itself is a bit lighter than a tandem canoe of comparable length, making the portages easier.
What makes me most partial to solo canoes (and I have three of them) is the freedom that comes from being alone. Paddling out on the lake, I pick my route and go at whatever speed suits me. I might stop and glide while looking to see if that is indeed an eagle perched atop the white pine or sprint to try and catch a ride on another boat's wake - all spontaneous moves made with no need to get consent from a paddling partner.
Granted, I enjoy the same independence when I am in my kayak. But it's not the same. It comes down to the paddle; the stroke itself. There's a satisfying feeling that comes from reaching out, sinking the blade, then thrusting outward, almost a punching motion as the top arm drives the blade through the water and the canoe surges forward. Rather than the repetitive rhythmic strokes of a pair of kayak blades, in my solo canoe, I mix it up, switching sides, angling the blade, or applying subtle sweep strokes to keep the canoe on course.
I feel like a water artist as my paddle cuts lines in the lake. As the canoe slips through the water, I am happy and content. Buying a solo canoe 30 years ago might have been one of the best decisions of my life.

|Police still investigating Kangaroo Express incident
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 08 May 2007 06:19
Boone police are still trying to find out what happened early yesterday morning at the Kangaroo Express.At approximately 4:40 a.m., Boone police officers responded to the service station on West King Street in reference to a possible assault. Three customers had entered the store and did not see the clerk. According to Captain William Greene, the clerk was found outside the building near the dumpster, her clothes in disarray and very disoriented. The last thing she could remember was mopping the floor.
The clerk was treated and released from Watauga Medical Center. In the meantime, Boone police are struggling to assess what happened. There was no sign of a robbery.Today, Boone police have still not figured out exactly what went on at the Kangaroo Express, and are urging anyone with any information to come forward. Call Boone police at 828-262-4500.

An Egyptian human rights organization said that an Egyptian Coptic Christian who died while being detained by Libyan Islamists was tortured to death. Ezzat Hakim Attallah was one of over 50 Coptic Christians detained by Libyan authorities last month and charged with proselytizing. Naguib Guebrayel, a Coptic Christian attorney who heads a group called Egyptian Union for Human Rights, told AFP News that Attallah "died after being tortured with other detainees."
Fox News reported that Atallah, who was among several dozen Egyptian Christians detained since February 25 in Benghazi, had been hospitalized March 6 before he was brought back to his cell and later died, according to family members.
Attallah's brother, Effat Hakim Atallah, said that Attallah had originally been arrested February 13 while working at a mobile phone shop in a Benghazi marketplace. Other Egyptian merchants from surrounding shop stalls were arrested as well, supposedly because they had displayed Christian symbols in their businesses.
Fox News reported that Atallah's wife visited him three days after his arrest "and found him in a state of severe fatigue and with bruises and cuts, according to Effat Hakim Atallah." At that time, said the brother, Libyan officials had already subjected him to both physical and psychological torture. "According to Atallah's wife," Fox continued, "he was arrested because his telephone number was found on a telephone of another suspect who had been arrested for possession of Christian books."
While Attalah's family and attorney insist his death was the result of torture, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said he also suffered from diabetes and a heart ailment, which most likely contributed to his death. Watchdog groups noted that Egyptian Christians who have emigrated to Libya for employment have been subjected to arrest and brutality from Islamist groups over the past several months, and that the Egyptian government has remained largely silent regarding their plight.

MistyNew Orleans, LaDon't Do It!!!You DO NOT need to perm your daughters hair to achieve this style. I actually suggest you not at all. The girl in the tutorial (Brittany) is also mixed and her hair is not permed. My hair type is curlier than Brittany's and I use a different method to achieve the a similar style and I'm all black and have never had my hair permed or relaxed. It's healthier to not process her hair.

Jay J.Steer Me In The Right Direction!!!!I must admit that iam one who will try anything once i hear positive reviews, in regards to hair. Ive heard so much about your product, i feel compelled to try it. My neice has the baby buttercreme, i did try some on my 1yrs old. Her hair is natually curly w/ a dry patch in the back. I did see a difference,but im wondering what product would be good for moisture on that area, as well as the whole head. Now, to my hair I usually condition my hair w olive oil and a deep conditioner in between pressing of the hair, i am interested in the rapid recovery, my hair is curly, with a touch of sraightness due to the pressing. My question is would that be the best product to use and if not PLEASE steer me in the right direction....Thank You!!!!1 out of 1 shoppers thought this post was helpful.

BrittianJust A Hint Of AdviceThe dry patch in the toddler's head is not uncommon in enfants or toddlers but you want to be certain you are using a rich moisturizing shampoo and conditioner for the hair and a soft scented, light oil for the scalp-If you are using a harsh shampoo (aka baby shampoo, which has a high acidic level that can dry out hair and scalp), it may be stripping the scalp and hair of its natural oils, also, make sure you are not over shampooing his/her hair. Use "conditioner-rinses" in between shampoo's-Lightly massage the oil into his/her scalp so that the skin quickly absorbs (warming the oil is recommended as well). Popular oils for scalp or skin issues are Tea Tree, Carrot, Vitamin E pure (awesome) and Caster oil. For your hair, the rapid recovery is an awesome product that helps with tangles, frizziness and retaining moisture in the hair but make sure you thoroughly rinse it out or the hair may feel heavy and become stiff during drying & styling stage. It will not re-curl the damaged straight ends. Side Note: Try to use less heat on your hair as possible, when you decide to go straight use a lower level of heat and an awesome heat protectant before you blowdry and a small dab before you flat iron. Also, you may want to cut off those straight ends so that you can avod any damage spliting up the hair shaft. Good luck and I hope this helped!

Infinite Liquid Eye Liner
This formula is very tenacious, and you can count on smudge-free, flake-free wear throughout the day.
Eye Tech Liquid Eye Liner
Eye Tech Liquid Eye Liner is a great example of good things coming in small packages.
Add to Faves?
Milani Cosmetics At-a-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive with some excellent options for women of color; good Baked Blush; silky pressed-powder eyeshadow palette; Infinite Liquid Eye Liner and Eye Tech Liquid Eye Liner have amazing staying power; Smooth Finish Cream-to-Powder Makeup.
Weaknesses: Baked Bronzer; numerous products that contain potentially irritating fragrant ingredients; several mediocre to poor products including Color Perfect Lipstick, Crystal Gloss, and The Multitasker Face Powder.
Launched in 2002, Milani Cosmetics prides itself as being an affordable beauty line with a "passion for color and a recognized need for a broader variety" for women of different ages, skin tones and income. While many brands have a limited selection of products designed for medium to dark skin, Milani has succeeded in catering to women with deeper skin tones, which is this makeup line's chief point of difference. We admire Milani for celebrating the beauty in diversity, and their dedication to providing color options that are appropriate (and appealing) to a wide range of skin tones.
Milani focuses on face and eye products, and this is where they excel. Despite being a smaller brand (compared to the likes of Cover Girl or L'Oreal), Milani products can be found tucked alongside the big makeup lines in many drugstores and stores like Target and Wal-Mart. They've definitely added a splash of color to the cosmetics aisle, and several of their inexpensive products are definitely worth a look. But as with most makeup lines, there also are some poorly executed products to avoid.
This is a diverse line with a mix of bold, classic, and trendy makeup. Although the products may be aesthetically pleasing on the shelf, their visual appeal doesn't always translate well to actual application and performance quality. In some instances, Milani's philosophy of "color, color, color and more color" misses the boat by offering glitzy, ultra-vibrant shades, instead of more options for a classic makeup application (women of color have to go to work, too, not just out for the evening). Just because you have dark skin doesn't mean your color choices need to be shocking or ultra-bold. Still, as mentioned, Milani offers some worthwhile products and their prices are budget-friendly. On balance, you'll find more to like than avoid.

Thailand lady
- The modern Nation of Thailand is a multicultural society. The predominant Thai culture, identity and civilisation emerged as a by product of the interaction of the indigenous population with Tai and other immigrant peoples ( including Chinese and Indian ).
- When people call themselves '' Thai '' they mean they are in the political sense, subjects of the Thailand nation. If explored further the word has a cultural and, for many, a linguistic sense. However not all Thailand citizens speak Thai and of those who do so it is a second language for them.
- This Thai identity in its present form is relatively recent.
- For your travel information guide we extensively detail ethnic diversity in Thailand and the resulting varieties of festivals, customs and beliefs.
- This web site has over 450,000 words about Thailand history, art, people, places to see and Thailand National Parks and other places of natural beauty in over 4,200 pages including all language versions. Accordingly we recommend you also use the ''search'' function in the top right side corner.
We Are Expanding With A New Sister Site; www.asiasworld.net
The World Of Asia From Space
- Asiasworld offers you the finest quality images and text content
about Southeast and East Asia. Unlike many web sites our information is
written by experts and we offer to explain what is distinctive about
Asia, what to look for and what to understand about its ethnic
diversity, religions, culture and how these are reflected in art and
architecture. Many people visit Asia but fail to see and understand the
details of what they see.
- Asiasworld explores themes in each region, these are ethnic cultures, history, and the art and architecture of each ethnic group in their respective region.
- Asiasworld also explores the Asia world heritage sites, the places of significant natural beauty and offers suggested priorities on what to see and where.
- Asiasworld explains the various religions, origin myths, social and cultural concepts of Asia. In doing so we do not paraphrase the teachings of each but make simple analysis of comparisons.

Every Tourist Should Understand About Thailand History To Appreciate What Is seen Here Today.
- Thailand history commences in the pre history period and then during the last 2000 years is the history of different empires and different ethnic kingdoms. These flourished over different portions and at different times over the land which now comprises the modern Thailand nation.
- These groups and periods included The Srivijaya Kingdom in South Thailand the Dvaravati Kingdom of the Mon people in Central Thailand The Haripunchai Kingdom in North Thailand The Khmer Cambodian Empire over most of Thailand and the Tai Kingdoms the Lan na Kingdom the Sukhothai Kingdom the Ayutthaya Kingdom the Taksin Kingdom and the Chakri Kingdom.
- As not all events took place in all of Thailand we have also divided Thailand history into NorthCentral Northeast and South Thailand history and therein dealt with events relevant to that part of Thailand.
- In this travel guide we inform about history of Thailand...... Read More Here
- Thailand has ten Historical Parks administered by the Thailand National Government through the Department of Fine Arts, a Division of the Ministry of Education. For your travel information guide we detail each of these. They are;
- 1. Sukhothai Historical Park, Sukhothai Province.
2. Ayutthaya Historical Park, Phra Nakhon Sri Ayutthaya Province.
3. Phanom Rung Historical Park, Buriram Province.

Travel Guide Information About Thai People
- In Thailandsworld.com we mention the major non-Tai speaking ethnic groups as well as the Chinese and major Tai ethnic groups. We detail 16 ethnic groups located in North Thailand, 5 in North East Thailand, 4 in South or Southern Thailand and 4 in Central Thailand. This list of detailed groups is still not complete and other minority groups will be detailed soon.
The Tai tribes ( of which we identify the significant groups ) are considered in the regions of Central Thailand, North Thailand, South or Southern Thailand and North East Thailand. These regions are relevant in that ethnic diversity is also varied through out the regions of Thailand. Modern Thailand is a modern political Nation now comprising what were historically numerous ethnic cultures and Kingdoms. The ethnic characteristics, belief systems, languages and lifestyles of each of all the tribes are compared also within these links. As between the Tai tribes the points of comparison are language and script, culture and art and architecture style. As between all the other ethnic tribes the points of comparison are language groups, monogamous and polygamous cultures, animist and non animist beliefs, ancestor worship or not, Indic script or Khmer based text, highland dwellers ( dry rice farmers ) or lowland farmers ( wet rice farmers ), hierarchical and non hierarchical societies, spirit beliefs and religion ( Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Taoist, animist, etc ).

That is why you don't want to be landing close behind in a small plane.
Yeah the gust of air behind would have been very hard to fly through.
Wow, that is awesome. :)
Rarely do you get to see such vivid displacement; whoever lit that runway did a great job ;)
Hermoso video, el poder de la aviacion
Isn't it amazing how beautiful the world can be? I could go into the complex equations, but that would ruin the sheer awesomeness of the spirals of fog.
totally awesome
that was sweet
What a beautiful landing, lovely video.
What an excellent piece of video that should be part of the pilot training program.. so that we really understand the forces involved...
Nice work !
Great stuff! I sent the link to my lady friend who lived in Zurich once upon a time (I've landed there more than once).
Proof positive that a sizable vortex follows behind those big boys!
Love is in the air...amazing video!
Incredible effects! Shows the amount of disturbed air behind the big boys.
Nice. I'll show it to my class.
Most Awesome....wow....a beautiful display of the vortices that come off the wings of planes....neat!!
Wow! Awesome video!
Outstanding Video, enhance the beauty of flight!
thank you.
Nice landing, too!

Well, aren't you special?
Beautiful winglets are not only reducing drag but are creating the spectagular spinning cloud.

David Hall: The 1943-S is less scarce than the 1942-S and 1941-S in Gem and Superb Gem condition. In the heyday of the uncirculated roll market in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the 1943-S was considered the second best roll of the 1941 to 1949 Washington quarters, after the then highly regarded 1942-S. I would speculate that many rolls were saved and many of today's Gems come from those rolls.

Le Bourget Aero Suites
7770 Johnson Avenue South
Minneapolis Minnesota 55435United States
(952) 893-9999
(800) 449-0409
Editor's Review
A fresh remodel and French-inspired touches make this suburban hotel a pleasant stay for a great value.
Le Bourget Aero Suites opened in 2009 and is part of the Choice Hotels chain (of the Comfort Inn and Suites variety). It's located 3 miles west of the Mall of America in Bloomington, in an older red-brick tower right off Interstate 494, tucked near a day care center and some office buildings. We do not pretend to understand what spurred the French influence, but it's there. Fleur-de-lys patterns edge the entrance, the elevator signs and the room number signs. French music plays in the lobby. And the artwork depicts French World War I-era aeronautical magazines. If our rusty college French can be trusted, it seems that Le Bourget is the name of an airport in France. And this is close to the airport in Minneapolis. Hey, they're practically twins! This property, which offers free wi-fi, has 159 rooms but was quiet on the Saturday night of our springtime visit. Our fifth-floor room overlooked the interstate, but the in-room heating and cooling system drowned out any traffic noise we might have otherwise heard. The black-and-white-decked suites are large, with generous sitting areas. The tiny bathrooms, which come with granite counters and new shower/tub combos, likely reflect the building's original footprint. The linens were new and soft, with four fluffy pillows on each bed. Our suite came with two doubles rather than two queens, but the hotel does offer suites with queen beds, king beds and two queens. (Rates from $69.95.) The biggest surprise of our stay was the in-lobby restaurant. The granite-topped tables are paired with armless, high-based easy chairs that made for comfortable seating at the end of a day filled with Mall of America adventures. Our waiter adopted an "I'm here to take care of you" approach that was most welcome. He made us strawberry smoothies even though they usually only serve them at breakfast time. All of the items we sampled--Minnesota Wild Rice Soup, bruschetta and a basic chargrilled burger, were cooked well, flavorful, piping hot when they arrived and reasonably priced, which is not necessarily what you'd expect in a hotel lobby restaurant. The dinner tab came to $30 for three people. Muffins, bagels, juice and coffee are available in the lobby for breakfast, but breakfast is not included with your room rate.

Vega Stealth Helmet Reviewby ernhardt
I love this helmet it is anything you need and very comfortable
List Price: 99.99
Sales Price: $99.99
All Colors Are Gloss With The Exception Of Flat Black
Helmet Sizing Information.
To achieve proper helmet fitment, begin by finding your head circumference size using the method described below. Remember that the helmet sizing you choose should fit around the crown of your head comfortably with no pressure points. The cheekpads should fit firmly around your face. Once your chin strap is fastened, grab the chin bar of the helmet and move it side to side. Your cheeks should move with the helmet, which should not slide across your face. Different thickness cheekpads can be purchased to obtain the perfect fit.
Head Measurement Instructions.
Wrap flexible tape measure around your head approximately on inch above eyebrows and ears. Use this measurement (in either inches or centimeters) to find your helmet size in the chart below.

Vega Stealth Helmet Reviewby ernhardt
I love this helmet it is anything you need and very comfortable
Great helmetby United States - verified purchaser
Haven't yet tried to add bluetooth speakers yet, but helmet fits and is optically correct, just a pleasure to wear.
Good value for the money, but...by Paul Brusen - verified purchaser
.. the product does run approximately a half-size smaller than listed. As for fit, it's a little different in that the face is more snug and close to the face than is typical in most "standard" full-faced helmets. Some might like that, some might feel slightly claustrophobic. There's an issue with having the necessary gaps for ears on each size, even after the ear pads were removed. (for headsets) I'll need to do some trimming of the padding to get it to where it's comfortable. Jafrum shipping was faster than expected, as usual. How they can continually be faster than expected is beyond me.
I love itby Steven Youngblood - verified purchaser
My stealth phantom helmet arrived. it is snug as stated in other comments. I'm glad I ordered a size bigger than what the measurement came to. Mine was 24 inches(xlarge) I ordered the 2x-large. it fits tight on the sides of my jaw, but should break in nicely. the longer face shield is great, not claustrophobic, like old style full face helmet. Jafrum got it here in a hurry. I ordered it on sat night and got it wed afternoon. I Love it. Thanks
Vega Stealth Phantom Helmet Reviewby C W - verified purchaser
I have been wearing Vega Medium for years. This Vega Medium did NOT fit at all. Different shape from the others I have worn. Looked like a big, goofy, round ball. Sent it right back, very disappointed.
Vega Phantom Helmet Reviewby Carolan Ivey - verified purchaser
After a ton of research on lightweight FF or modular helmets, I settled on this one. I wear an XS, which is about three pound, a good half-pound less than most modulars. It has an oval inner shape which fits me perfectly. It was comfortable from the first time I put it on, and stays comfortable through hours of riding. I like the extra vertical length in the view port; I don't have to rotate my head down to read my gauges, just flick my eyes down. The jaw piece is easy to take on and off, though you CAN'T do it while riding. The air channels are grea - I can feel them drawing heat away from my head as soon as I start moving. I got the red and it is gorgeous. I get a lot of comments on the color and style. The only minor problem is the sun shade. When I use the lever to flick it down, the upper rim of it often gets caught on the rim of the eyeport, making it impossible to use the lever to put it back up again. I have to raise the face shield a couple notches, and push in on the sun shield to free it. However once i figured out the problem, it's become second nature to deal with it with one hand. It's not enough to make me send the helmet back. For comfort, fit, light weight, and functionality, I don't think you can beat the price.
Vega Stealth Phantom Helmet Reviewby Frostbite - verified purchaser
I LOVE this Lid!!! Been riding 50+ years, year-round and this is beyond doubt the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn. The venting is great for cold or wet weather as the air flow clears the faceplate as soon as you start moving without freezing your nose or chin off. In the rain, you don't get the water blow-up from below into your eyes, or the dripping from the upper edge of the shield present in so many others. But the best point is the oval shape. Why it took so long for the OEMs to figure out we do not have "Bowl" heads I don't know, but VEGA got it right with this one. There are not the pressure points present in every other helmet I have worn so the long ride comfort factor is off the charts. And, with the added sunshield, removable chinbar and elongated shield viewing depth Vega has produced the ultimate unit for any ride length or weather condition. In short, I would reccommend this helmet to any rider who is serious about comfort and features
Vega Phantom Helmet Reviewby Alex Johnson - verified purchaser
Very sleek looking helmet but runs small compared to other sizes from other manufacturers. Would recommend but would advise getting a size bigger than you may be used to.
Unique and Comfortableby Kimberly - verified purchaser
I enjoy helmets that have a unique profile - different is good. Bell Rogue, Shark Raw, Vema CiQi... I love all of them. But a helmet has to be comfortable as well as practical and safe, and while I loved the Rouge and Raw, they just weren't comfortable for me. The Vega Stealth Phantom certainly does the trick, though! I love this thing! I usually wear a size XS, but ordered S after watching the video review. No need. I had to send the S back and get the XS. Yes, it is a little snug at the cheeks, but that will soften and fit like a glove after a couple of long rides. Things that really sold me on the Phantom... 1) The style is very unique. My last helmet was the Vema CiQi - a very stylish modular that offered a removable chin guard for added protection. But the CiQi's chin guard tended to block my view of the tank spedometer and I was forever trying to tilt my head to the side to see past it. 2) The Phantom's large face plate allows an amazing field of view. No more tilting my head to see the speedometer. The faceplate also offers great wind and rain protection while allowing the interior to vent enough to prevent fogging. This is huge for me because I ride year-round in all weather. Nothing is worse than fogging your faceplate while sitting at a stoplight in winter! 3) The helmet is bluetooth friendly. I love the large, comfortable ear space - they mean I don't have to fear my ears being painfully compressed by any speakers that are installed. 4) The Phantom is modular. The ease of switching from full-face to half-helmet is great. I love the freedom to change between full-face and half-helmet look and both versions still provide outstanding protection and keep a great look. I would definitely recommend the Phantom to anyone looking for a new modular helmet. :)
Wayyyy smallby Neal - verified purchaser
I wear a 7 5/8 hat and am intermediate oval. Tried both an XL and 2XL and sent them both back. There's no give in the cheeks at all and could barely get them over my ears. Once I did, they were so tight I couldn't bare it for more than 10 minutes.
not badby Ryan A - verified purchaser
I ordered the high vis "yellow" which looks more like a highlighter safety yellow which didn't really show in the photos. anyway I wear an L and this helmet feels like trying to put on a M. it scrapes my face every time I put it on and I wish I'd ordered an XL. Also I wish I had the option for a quick release chin strap as the D ring feels very poor and is frustrating after having a quick release. the helmet shoulder checks very well and has a massive field of view which is the main advantage of this helmet. Also I can have strangers with people at a stoplight without lifting the face shield. This visor profile shows your whole face which is also a very distinct look. the holes for the speakers fit too high for me to really hear my headphones I transplanted, but this could be the sizing issue. if I could do it again I'd get it in black and XL. Overall cool helmet for under 100 bucks. I hope their next version of this helmet is better.
The Stealth Phantom is a good option for the rider that likes the modern, low chinbar look, but, like many of us, is riding on a budget. The Phantom has a similar look and style to say a Nolan N44, but the Nolan retails at 389 bucks, this Stealth retails at about 120 dollars. Now, I'm not saying that the overall quality is name, it isn't, but this is definitely a very good value, and definitely a cool looking option for the money.
The shell of the phantom is made of a DOT and ECE rated, lightweight ABS plastic, and this XL weighs in at a mere 3.3 pounds. It's available in sizes XS -- 2X and in 7 colors including Black, Blue, Candy Red, Flat Black, Gray which is like an anthracite, High-Viz Yellow, and Silver. The fit on this helmet is a little on the snug side, but I also have a very oval head shape. I typically wear between a large and an XL depending on the brand. I definitely wear an XL in this model and it will take a couple of rides of break in for it to be perfect. Once it's broken in though, this helmet will be really comfortable, especially for a helmet in this price point. This elongated shield profile is a nice feature, especially when riding bikes with low mounted gauges or gauges mounted on the tank because you don't have to move your whole head, but rather just avert your eyes to check your speed. Removing the shield is easy, but it definitely isn't quick release. You have to unscrew this dial and it takes about seven full revolutions to remove, so removing the shield while wearing the helmet is probably not going to happen. Complementing the long shield shape is the low profile, removable chin bar. The chin bar features ample ventilation with eight total vent ports for shield fog management and two additional vents that pass directly to the face. The Phantom can also be worn as a ¾ by removing the chin bar. You simply slide this orange lever on each side of the eye port and pull the chin bar from the helmet. These black inserts are provided to clean up the look and reduce buffeting and wind noise. In addition to the chin bar vents, there are exhaust ports on the rear of the helmet for extracting hot air out of the helmet. This lid also features a mechanical drop down sun visor that is replaceable and available in light smoke, dark smoke, and amber colors. To operate, you just slide this lever up or down. The liner of the Phantom is better than you may expect for the money. It features a very soft and moisture wicking liner that is quite comfortable. The liner is completely removable and washable but be gentle when removing the liner. The Phantom's liner snaps are not its strongest feature. With the cheek pads removed, it's easy to see the foam pads that can be removed to provide a convenient place to install your Bluetooth helmet intercom system.

The lone survivor of a September shooting in a Titusville neighborhood that left two other men dead says he and his family are being evicted from their home on Monday.
Local 6 news partner Florida Today reports Bruce Blake said benefits such as disability and Social Security have been bogged down in red tape since the Sept. 3 shooting and he hasn't been able to pay rent.
Blake, 49, said he has received a total of $183 in benefits. Records show that Blake has been involved in eviction proceedings five times since 2007.
Blake worked full time running heavy machinery and as a welder before the shooting, but says he needs to be cleared by a doctor and get second opinion before he can return to work. He hopes that will be soon.
"I don't know why you have to have a second opinion with 17 bullet holes in me," he told Florida Today. "The bullet in my back hurts, the bullet in my calf hurts. … But I'd be able to run a crane."
Bruce and Keri Blake – who are raising two daughters – will return to the home in the 1900 block of Smith Drive this morning to get the rest of their belongings. Bruce Blake said they have to be out by 9 a.m. and will stay with family in the Titusville area.
He said though it has been "hard as hell" on his family since the shooting, there is one good thing coming from the eviction:
"Every time I go in and out the door, I don't have to walk right past where me and Roger got shot," he said.
Early Sept. 3, on the Labor Day holiday, Titusville police said neighbor William T. Woodward opened fire on Blake, Gary Lee Hembree, 39, and Roger Picior, 44.
Hembree and Picior died of their injuries, and Woodward was arrested on charges of murder.
Woodward's family told FLORIDA TODAY he suffered post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in the military, and snapped as the result of ongoing disputes with the neighbors who were wounded. Titusville police said Hembree was "heckling" Woodward immediately prior to the shooting.
Woodward is charged with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder. He is being held in Brevard County jail and his case is set for a status hearing in March.
Blake said the family has found a place to live but can't get there without money to move in.
"We do have a donation fund set up at TD Bank, the Blake Family Fund," he said.
