Measure the width (side to side) where your refrigerator will go, and allow at least two extra inches for the door to swing open.
Measure the height (top to bottom) where your refrigerator will go. If you have a cabinet that hangs above that's flush with the top of the refrigerator, be aware the refrigerator's top hinges will need to clear the space.
Measure the depth (front to back) where your refrigerator will go. Allow two inches of extra depth for waterline access in the back if you want an ice maker and/or dispenser.
Standard refrigerators (34 ¼ inches deep) are a few inches deeper than your countertops. If you want a built-in look without the custom price, consider a counter-depth refrigerator (30 inches deep) that will sit flush with the front of your kitchen cabinets.
Make sure you measure all doorways that your new refrigerator will be passing through to ensure that it can be easily moved into your home.
A built-in icemaker means no filling up ice cube trays.

The information provided below is a general summary of the County's process to amend or revise the level of approved development. The specific regulations, contained in the Broward County Land Development Code, have been adopted by ordinance of the County Commission and cannot be superseded by this presentation of information. Please contact us for details.
All plat applications are approved with a restrictive note that must appear on the recorded plat. The restrictive note establishes the level of development intensity used to determine the plat's impact upon regional services and facilities. Impact fee amounts and concurrency obligations are based upon the approved level of development. The project must be developed in conformity with the recorded plat note, unless a revision or amendment to the note is approved by the County Commission.
Types of Requests & Submittal RequirementsAn application to amend or revise the level of development may be filed with us. These applications are categorized into three (3) types: full review, minor review, and requests to place a note on a pre-1979 plat. Please contact our staff if you need assistance in determining the type of the application to file.
Amend or Revise Note: Full and Minor Reviews - Application requirements include the submittal of one (1) original of each document and an electronic copy of each item listed below. Each document listed below must also be submitted electronically as a separate pdf on a CD, flash drive, etc.:
Place a Note on a Pre-1979 Plat - An applicant may choose to place a note on a plat which was approved prior to the time plat note restrictions were required, to vest the property for a certain level of development. The procedure for this review is similar to the process for a new plat, except that an agreement to place a note on the plat is recorded in the public records instead of a plat drawing. The time frame to record the agreement and comply with all conditions of approval is 12 months/1 year from the date of approval. Please see the link at the end of this section for information about the platting process or contact our staff if you have questions about this process.
Additional Documentation For Existing BuildingsAdditional information is required if there are existing buildings on the property and/or if buildings were demolished within eighteen (18) months of this application as follows:
Completeness of ApplicationIt is recommended that applicants discuss their request and proposed note language with us before filing the application.
All plat information including the name of the plat, project number, plat book and page, copies of the plat report and recorded plat, and other plat information is a matter of public record and can be obtained from us and the County Records, Taxes and Treasuring Division. If you have any questions regarding filling out the application, please contact us.
As per Section 5-181(a) of the Broward County Land Development Code, the Planning and Redevelopment Division Director has seven (7) working days to determine if an application is complete. A complete application is defined as having met all submittal requirements. If the application is not complete, it can be rejected and returned to the applicant. The application may be re-submitted after the applicant provides the additional documentation needed to make the application complete.
Time FramesYour request will be scheduled for the next County Commission meeting in accordance with the published Filing Deadlines schedule. Full review requests are scheduled for a County Commission meeting approximately seven (7) week from a filing deadline date. Minor Review requests are scheduled for a County Commission meeting approximately one (1) month from a filing deadline date. Applications to place a note on a pre-1979 plat are processed like a new plat application.
Review ProcessThe application will be reviewed by County agencies appropriate to the type of request. During the review period, our staff will advise the applicant of any issues which may result in a deferral or denial recommendation. A staff report will be generated from recommendations made by County agencies. A copy of the staff report will be available to the applicant prior to the scheduled County Commission meeting.
Affidavit of ApplicationA blank affidavit will be attached to the staff report. If the applicant signs the affidavit, agreeing with staff recommendations, the request will remain on the County Commission's Consent Agenda. If the affidavit is not signed by the applicant, before the County Commission meeting, the request will be automatically deferred for at least 2 weeks and will be rescheduled for discussion at a later County Commission meeting.
Approval and RecordationIf the County Commission approves the request, the approval is subject to the conditions set forth in the staff report. A condition of approval requires the recordation of an agreement documenting the changes to the plat note in the public records. In addition, other conditions of approval may include impact fee payments, new or replacement impact fee agreements and securities, and construction requirements.
For full and minor review requests and requests to place a note on a pre-1979 plat, the applicant has twelve (12) months from the date of approval to comply with all conditions of approval and record the agreement to amend note.
Failure to complete this process within this time frame shall render the approval null and void.
Please contact us for questions regarding agreement processing.

A modern shredders dream guitar that offers classy appointments with sleek, modern styling.
Though they originally gained recognition for their bass guitars, Sterling by Music Man has grown throughout the years to become a premier crafter of fine electric guitars as well. Backed by the legendary Ernie Ball brand, Sterling is a name that musicians all across the world trust and love.

Whether you're an amateur or on par with John Petrucci of Dream Theater, Sterling has the guitar you need. When you're making your selection, take a moment to think about your skill level, as well as the features that are important to you. Doing this can make finding the right Sterling even easier! For example, are you a beginner looking for their first electric guitar? If so, the Silo3 was practically made for you. This beauty features an HSS pickup configuration and a tremolo bridge that makes it a seriously versatile workhorse. With a wonderful tone and look, this is a top notch entry level guitar for any performer.
If, on the other hand, you're already an established player and you're looking for a guitar that can really show off your skills, you'll want to spend some time with the LK100D Electric Guitar. This guitar is based on the Music Man LIII guitar and built to the specifications of the legendary Steve Lukather. This guitar really stands out with its DiMarzio Luke Signature "Transition" DP254 and DP255 humbucker pickups that offer absolutely spellbinding tone. Steve Lukather himself has said that he can't imagine playing anything else; after one strum, you're sure to share that sentiment.
Sterling is a brand that has built their name through unparalleled quality and playability. Their traditionally styled designs mixed with forward thinking hardware has always set them apart from the competition. When you're looking for a guitar to help bring your music to life, a Sterling by Music Man is the right choice for you.

As a research assistant for the revised edition of Boy R. Dee's Pastafarianism for Dummies, I thought I should turn to the atheologians and philosophers here for assistance with the development of my thesis on Gnosticism. (Gnosis: the esoteric knowledge of spiritual truth held by the ancient Gnostics to be essential to salvation.)
I was shocked to learn how many historians and philosophers have failed to acknowledge that ancient texts on Gnosticism had their origins in Pastafarian oral history. Inaccuracies of scribes, poor translations have led to some basic misconceptions. But my initial readings reveal Gnosis is clearly derived from the Pastafarian word Gnocchi. And it is not salvation the Elders were trying to achieve, but instead it was salivation (so easy to drop one simple letter...) Through the Rites of Chianti followers learned to pronounce Gnocchi, understand Gnocchi, and achieve an enlightened state, followed by salivating. The enlightened state, known as AlDente, could only be reached by intensive study, meditation and years of carbo-loading.
The Gnostic (Gnocchic) view of god is pastatheistic, that is the Flying Spaghetti Monster dwells in all things pasta and via emanation, all things are pasta. Emanation explains the creation of the world by a series of radiations originating out of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. When thinking of the visual representations of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, such an accurate description is uncannny.
I'm still early in my research, but soon I hope to know more about Cheeses and early Gnocchics. Indications are that a controversy about the main ingredient of the primordial ooze (potatoes vs. flour) was involved. And what about the later Gnocchics known as Strozzapreti (priest-stranglers)? This is clearly against modern day Pastafarian canon.
Of course, no Gnocchic commentary would be complete without reference to Sophia, the figure of wisdom in Gnocchism. We admire this figure even today in the great philosopher Sophia Loren, who once said, "All that you see is owed to spaghetti."
May His Noodly Apppendages bless my work.

With partimage, you can image, then resize the partition using qtparted, both are included in this: http://www.sysresccd.org
My hard drive has been occasionally making noises (spinning-type sounds ??? ), so I want to move _Everything_ over to a new hard drive.
I'm stuck, and could use a little feedback.
My new drive is bigger, and naturally, I wanted to use the extra space, so I fired up the "systemrescueCD", ran qtparted, and recreated my partitions on the new drive, except I made all of them larger (heck, I now have so much space to spare, I even made the swap partition larger!) Then, I used dd to write the contents of the old drive to the new drive, partition by partition. This worked, re-installed grub, the machine booted up, and I was greeted by my familiar desktop. Everything looked ok, but.... df showed that the sizes are still the old ones - ie, although a partition is shown to be "newsize" by parted,fdisk,et al, df shows me that the partition is still "oldsize". Well, the system worked for a while... Running fsck gave me errors. And then finally, a crash, and on restarting, the system wanted to do a fsck, which I let it do, and fsck basically gave up, and said my data was toast.
OK, no problem, at this point I had only lost a couple of days. And, this is just my home desktop, nothing that important on it. Popped the old hard drive back in, and back to square one. (Funny thing, the sounds have not come back yet)
I thought, well, why not just dd the whole drive, and then resize the partitions using parted. Good idea, I suppose, but didn't work. Parted reported "filesystem has incompatible feature enabled", and refused to resize my (ext3) partitions. I googled for this error, and found some posts that said to turn off journaling, resize, then turn it back on. However, this didn't work for me, still got the same error.
I looked into partimage, but it requires same size partitions, so again not an optimal solution.
I suppose I could do it the windows way, re-install, but I am hoping that I don't have to go that route.
tar seems to be the best candidate for what I want to do, but something in its documentation has me wondering. Since I want to restore my entire system, I want all ownerships and permissions to remain the same. In tar's documentation, it is stated it is the default behavior to preserve these, but it needs a copy of /etc/passwd to achieve this. If I am completely restoring my system on to a new drive, I don't see how it is going to find /etc/passwd. Hopefully, I missed something on reading the documentation.
This whole thing has taken many hours already, and I am thinking maybe I could use a little advice/feedback before going further. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
With partimage, you can image, then resize the partition using qtparted, both are included in this: http://www.sysresccd.org
The sysrescuecd is what I have been using.
Sounds logical, and I'm game to give it a try the way you suggested, but wouldn't parted still complain about "filesystem has incompatible feature enabled" ? (When I tried it originally using qtparted, the resize option was greyed out, so I used parted at the command line instead)
try using the command
run_qtparted for resizing, after imaging.
I can fire up qtparted, as I mentioned before, but the option to resize the partition is greyed out - I think it has to do with it being an ext3 partition.
Anyway, I read the parted documentation, and ran parted on the command line while using the sysresccd - after all, qtparted is just a graphical front-end for parted. And parted is what gave me the error message regarding "Filesystem has incompatible feature enabled".
Sure enough, after using partimage to backup a partition, and restoring that partition to the corresponding (same size) partition on the new drive, neither qtparted nor parted would resize the partition - parted gave me the same error message. At least I was smarter about it this time, I did only one partition first to test if it would work :P
I wasn't about to give up yet, so I thought to myself, well, if it can't resize ext3 partitions, maybe it will work on ext2 partitions. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I found this link http://troubleshooters.com/linux/ext2toext3.htm
and followed the directions to get my filesystem to be ext2. I am sure I did everything exactly as outlined (I printed out the whole article, read and re-read it, googled for some more info on this kind of operation, etc) but the end result was an unbootable system after changing the root partition. Oh well ........
So I re-installed. And, yes, I am now able to use _all_ of my new 160Gb hard drive - Hooray!!
Thanks countach, anyway. Appreciate the effort.

ORCHARD PARK, NY-- The Buffalo Bills have announced changes in the team's management structure.
CEO Russ Brandon has now been named President, and announced during a news conference on Tuesday thatteam owner Ralph Wilson is passing the torch to him [Brandon] to run the Bills and that Brandon will have complete control of the team "with no restrictions or limitations".
"Russ Brandon has done a tremendous job in his 16 years with our organization and is very highly respected throughout the National Football League. He has proven to be extremely successful with each new level of responsibility he has been given and has earned this opportunity. Russ is a proven leader and he will now have full authority over the entire Buffalo Bills operation. I have granted him full autonomy to run the organization as he feels is best," said Wilson in a team statement.
"These past 13 years have been very difficult on our fans and we have not produced the type of winning team that they deserve," Wilson added. "It has been frustrating for our organization and for me as well. We want our team to be one that our fans are proud of. I believe that Russ has the unique abilities to assemble and lead the talent we will need to get the job done."
Brandon acknowledged the team's image is tarnished and promised to bring in people to bring the franchise to a new level.
"This organization is willing to do whatever it takes... We haven't won enough games... We need to change it," Brandon said at the press conference.
Emotional Moment:
It would not be unusual for a team owner to summon his CEO to meet the day after the conclusion of a season. However, after another particularly disappointing one, Brandon claimed he didn't know quite what to expect.
Indeed, as Brandon was winging his way to Detroit to meet with Wilson on Monday, the Bills were announcing that head Coach Chan Gailey was being relieved of his duties after three less than stellar seasons.
"I was asked to come over and see him (Wilson), and I went over there with an open mind," Brandon told WGRZ-TV's Dave McKinley during the news conference.
It also appeared though, that Brandon was certainly not expecting, what came next...and that on Tuesday,almost 24 hours later, still seemed stunned by it.
"We had a wonderful visit," Brandon recalled, while seeming to take measured steps to keep his emotions in check."It was a rather emotional visit... he told me he was passing the torch to me to run this franchise in totality...it was almost like a father passing the torch to his son...and it was a great day," Brandon said.
Asked if he and Wilson, who Brandon described as a man he "dearly loved" shed any tears at that moment, Brandon replied, "I'm not going to get too far into that."
Nix Staying On:
Brandon also confirmed that Buddy Nix will remain General Manager of the team for the next three years.
Nix was appointed General Manager of the Billsin 2010.
As for the future of Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, Nix says they plan on drafting a quarterback and look into free agency, but the decision will lie with the new head coach.
The team now begins the task of finding a new head coach and coaching staff for next season.

VIDEO> Formula D Irwindale, From The Driver Seat
Ryan Tuerck shows YAER around the track at Formula D from Ryan Davis on Vimeo.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in the DRIVER'S seat, drifting around Irwindale Speedway's oval? I asked Ryan Tuerck if he could show us around the track from a driver's perspective. He was excited to show us how an FD run went down, so we grabbed some cameras and followed him out. Have a look!

VIDEO> Team Yellow in Norway Never Stops
It's official. Team Yellow is the most awesome grassroots team there is. With at least eight running/driving/drifting/awesome cars at any one time, drivers from all over Scandinavia, and several tracks to lay down ridiculous amounts of smoke, these guys get sh!t done. They've got an SR powered AE86, and all their other cars are 2JZ powered. There's never a dull moment with Team Yellow. Huge thanks to Lars and Dag Harlem for inviting Joe and I over multiple times and even allowing us to drive their 1JZ MarkII. We heart Team Yellow.
VIDEO> Formula D Irwindale 2011 = Best Thing Ever
Seriously though, this year's Formula Drift Finale was one of the greatest weekends of my life. All the media, drivers, and industry people I've met over the last few years all in one place to be a part of arguably the greatest drifting spectacle in US history. I say "arguably," but I will fight you. FD Irwindale 2011 was the best thing ever. Period. (more…)

VIDEO> Tuerck Prepares for Top32 at FD Seattle
When Ryan Davis of YAER Productions asked me to edit these clips of Ryan Tuerck piloting the Gardella Racing Mobil 1 Nitto Tire Red Bull Chevrolet Camaro during Formula Drift Seattle, I didn't hesitate whatsoever. I love Ryan's driving style and now that he's in an enormous car with tons of power, I really enjoy watching him drive. That being said, the concept for this video was all Ryan Davis' idea and I can't take much credit for the awesomeness you're about to witness. I just edited it. (more…)

As many of you may already know, Joe Ayala and I recently traveled to Rudskogen Norway for the Gatebil Festival, thanks to our friends at Team Yellow out of Rakkestad.

If you've been tuning in to MotorMavens lately, you'll know that Joe Ayala and I recently returned from a trip to Norway to cover the three day Gatebil Festival in Rudskogen. Thanks to Team Yellow Drift and Racing, we were able to shoot virtually nonstop action as well as live comfortably in between drifting spectacles. We enjoyed local cuisine, local people, and most importantly – local race cars. Joe and I saw an endless number of home built drift and grip machines, ranging from 100-1000hp strong. No vehicle is turned away at Gatebil. (more…)

VIDEO> YAER Shoots Formula Drift Palm Beach
Formula Drift at Palm Beach International Raceway in Florida was AWESOME!!! First off, I was excited getting there being part of the first group to shoot this location. It's Florida, it's new, they were changing the track up last minute.. It was a very freestyle feel to the weekend. Much less structured seeming than the previous events this year.
Secondly, the YAER team was out and about running wild, the drivers were killing it, and Walker Wilkerson (YAER sponsored driver) had a new reverse gear installed that allows him to enter the turns backwards. (more…)

This year was Joe's and my first trip to Formula Drift at Wall Speedway in New Jersey. Super bummed that I couldn't make it out last season, I was very excited to see this awesome track. I know it may not look like much to most people, but as a videographer, Wall Speedway is what dreams are made of. There is so much texture and color and grit. The trees, asphalt, and guardrail all make it very fun to shoot. (more…)

MotorMavens | TANDEM OF DIE | Formula Drift Palm Beach from MotorMavens Dotcom on Vimeo.
During Formula Drift's first Florida event last weekend, there were many bobbles, a few spins, and even a couple of wrecks. The new layout on Palm Beach International Raceway proved to be a challenge for drivers, event organizers, and media personnel alike. The slippery track was slightly technical, with a high speed and high angle entry, and rounded off with a smoky finish. (more…)
VIDEO> Drift Posse – Road To Formula Drift Atlanta
Today is Dan Cyr of Cyrious Productions' Birthday! If you don't know who Dan Cyr is, he's the brother of the Pat Cyr, the baddest privateer AE86 Formula Drift rookie who cleaned up at the Irwindale Pro Am event in the tail end of 2010. What a better way to honor Dan's efforts as a drift documentarian than posting his latest video from Formula Drift Round 2 – Atlanta. It's the best we can do Dan! We are all starving artists for now. Happy Birthday!
What does it feel to be the proverbial black sheep? Or better yet, the wolf in sheep's clothing? Before you contemplate and think that I'm going to throw all kinds of cliché's at you, consider where privateers like Pat Cyr sit right now in the world of Formula Drift. It's hardly cliché at all to see a 360hp, garage built, ratty AE86 in a field of expensive dream machines and famous drivers. To me, and to countless others, the story of the "underdog" never gets old. (more…)

To be quite honest, Hotlanta Georgia isn't always hot. Sometimes, it's the skilled drivers and drunken spectators who raise the temperature through the metaphorical roof.

On any given day of the week, you might hear me saying the following:
- I love wool.
- I love garter stitch.
- I love colorwork.
If I had to choose a favorite, I would be at a loss. I equally enjoy all three of those things. When it came time to design my new pattern, I was able to combine all three loves and the result is balanced, simple, and wearable (another three things I love in knitting).
The pattern is Graveyard Socks, and the idea came about when I read about the Socks Revived Contest on the Exercise Before Knitting blog. This is my entry for the contest.
Knit from the cuff down, and combining elements of colorwork, plain stockinette stitch and a reinforced garter stitch heel, the socks are a good balance of "I need to pay attention to the chart right now" and "All I want to do is watch TV while I knit".
The decidedly macabre motif was scribbled on graph paper, then transferred to my charting software while Jerry was watching over my shoulder. It came time to save the file, and I mumbled something about needed a name for the socks. Jerry, who is 7, noticed the similarity of the chart to a graveyard, and the name of the socks was born.
The heels are knit using garter stitch short rows, and two strands of the yarn are held together for extra reinforcement. If you're worried about garter stitch ridges digging into the bottom of your feet, I urge you to try this technique. The stretchy nature of garter stitch makes for a very comfortable heel.
The toes are French (or at least that's what Nancy Bush says). There are three lines of decreases, rather than the usual two, and the stitches are gathered at the end instead of woven. It was the first time I tried this toe shaping, and I really liked it!
My foot model, as usual, was Lisa (here and here, her new education technology blog). I can't thank her enough for helping me with the photo shoot. I had her climbing under the picnic table (not easy!) and taking directions like: "Try to look more dead." (see first photo) Thank you, Lisa!
Graveyard Socks – $6
Yarn: Nature Spun Sport
Needles: Size 1 (2.25 mm)
Gauge: 8 sts = 1″ (2.5 cm)

Recent Snowshoe Reviews
MSR Shift
A great little shoe in firm snow, not just for kids. These shoes are sold as youth snowshoes, but they perform very nicely for adults looking for light shoes in firm snow conditions (think spring in the Rockies). MSR lists these shoes as fitting youth up to 125 lbs and up to a Men's size 7. I took a bit of a gamble and ordered up pair as I was looking for a lightweight shoe (but still wanted good traction) for spring trips where you often carry your snowshoes more than wear them, but when you need… Full review
MSR Women's Revo Ascent
MSR has created a good all-around 'shoe which uses spans from a beginner to a serious snowshoer. Its flex, fit, grip, and heel lift bar create a solid product for those who want a tough, wide ranged product. This 'shoe works really well in a casual capacity, but is easily capable of handling hilly terrain or a serious excursion of a more dynamic trip. These shoes are an excellent choice for the novitiate who wants to grow to for the more experienced outdoor adventurer who needs a reliable, sturdy,… Full review
Yukon Charlie's Men's Trail Series 825
Broke apart in less than 10 short hikes...CRAP. Used them less than 10 times and the plastic broke and the entire foot piece came out still attached to my foot. Cheap construction...going to attempt fixing them, but would never buy another pair. Even some of the plastic on the decking cracked and broke off. Full review
MSR Men's Revo Ascent
Built for climbing, but make a great all terrain snowshoe; these work well on or off trail. Great traction in most conditions including on hidden branches and other debris under the snow. Secure multi-strap bindings adjust to different boots easily. With a toe made for kicking and easy to use heel elevator these shoes live up to their name and excel at climbing but have some issues on descents due to the lack of a heel crampon. They have pretty good float and are worth considering for those hitting… Full review
Yukon Charlie's Men's Trail Series 825
These are junk. The plastic break up around the rivets the first time you wear them. I have two pair, worn one time for a 2-mile hike. We had to stop in the middle and use shoe string to tie them back together to get home. Complete and total waste of money. Don't buy or you will be sorry! Full review
Atlas Race
Toe crampon breaks easily!!! I like these snowshoes except the titanium toe cramping breaks easily. Then Atlas makes you contact the retailer to set up repair through Atlas, and then you have to pay shipping. How do they consider this a warranty? So far they have broken twice in same location, seems to be a design flaw that they don't wish to change. Very poor customer service! Full review
Dion Snowshoes 220 Back Country Frame
Excellent performance and clever modular design. I snowshoe almost every day in the winter and have used many different brands including Red Feather, Tubbs, Atlas, Crescent Moon, MSR, and an ancient pair of modified bear paws. Although I weigh 174 lbs., I almost always use snowshoes that are actually large enough to allow travel in deep snow conditions. In the relatively short time I've owned these modular Dion 220 shoes, I've been overwhelmingly impressed with their superb quality and performance,… Full review
Easton Women's Hike
The Easton Hike is a sturdy, entry-level snowshoe that is at its best on groomed or well-tracked trails. However, it does not perform as well when you travel off the beaten path into the backcountry. Easton is taking us from the baseball field into the backcountry! The Hike snowshoe is advertised as providing "…the perfect balance of traction, flotation, and comfort to accommodate longer and steeper excursions." Those who spend their snowshoeing days on groomed trails are likely to agree. Full review
Bigfoot Snowshoes ADV Adventure
Do not buy this junk!!!!!! Promised by Barry these glorified popcans would work in the SNOW, like in a real forest type setting, not the parking lot setting they filmed their commercial in. NOPE, because we actually used them in a forest, all warranty is void. Even called the Ontario BBB on this junk, what a waste of time!!! Wesellit.ca is a scam!! Full review

TraceyUSHairDark BrownDry HairFine or Thin HairI Finally Have Manageable Hair!I'm African American, my hair has fine texture, but is very resistant/kinky. I was referred to the product by a friend who is multi cultural. I was using a popular no lye relaxer for many years and suffered hair loss due to extended usage. I chose this relaxer as an alternative to a Brazilian Keratin Treatment (Keratin treatments do not last for me because I sweat. The sodium/salt in sweat neutralizes the Keratin). This product will not make african american hair "bone straight". At least it doesn't make my hair that way. I was going bald with the "bone straight" look, I really just needed manageable hair, and did not want to flat iron daily (living in Florida).
I've used the product for close to two years, and am only posting to give some tips for people who are considering the product for purchase. If you are not used to applying relaxers, you may want to purchase and take to a stylist. My hair is medium length, and I get my ends "clipped" every 6 weeks. I know that not everyone gets their hair trimmed that frequently. If you overlap relaxer too much, it could result in breakage. Clipping the ends help.
It is VERY important to follow the directions in the kit re: applying heat, washing hair prior to treatment, etc..... I know going without a flat iron for several days is a hassle (that's when I become "scarf girl" - LOL), but it does make a difference.
ALSO: If you use Phyto Vital Bath conditioner, it definitely helps. The key is to do a deep condition at least once a month. The other thing that helped me was to use a Keratin based infuser/replenisher. I've used Keratase and Coppola products with much success. The Keratin products restore protein to your hair, and helps keep it strong. I think Phyto has a serum, but I've never tried it. I hope my review helped.7 out of 7 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

AngelaFloridaHairDark BrownDry HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairBest Relaxer On Earth!I've been using this relaxer for 1.5 years and the transformation I've seen in my hair is amazing. I have very course and thick hair and have used a variety of relaxers in the past that left my hair dry, damaged, non-elastic and quick to break or shed. I tried to go "natural", but my texture along with the Florida humidity just wouldn't allow it so I read about the science behind this relaxer and wondered, "how in the world can soy and eggs straighten my hair?". In my desperation, I thought i was worth a shot. I was literally shocked at how beautiful this relaxer made my hair. It was full of body and volume (unlike harsh lye and other no-lye relaxers). It had incredible shine and did not shed a bit. This product has transformed my hair (and Oprah's from what I hear). I really hope that other women with my hair texture discover this product and start demanding that our salons carry it. I know the price seems steep, but people with my hair texture spend tons of money on hair products and services and if they only knew what this product could do, they would consider it a bargain.13 out of 13 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Discover Tuscany Slowly
27 Feb 13
Tuscany is the region of sprawling vineyards, rolling hills, charming old cities, masterpieces of art, culinary specialties and prestigious wines. In a seven-day tour, visitors can explore this region the "slow" way in a tour organized by Slow Travel, Slow Food Italy's project that caters to travelers wanting to discover the authenticity and little-known aspects of Italy's regions.
The tour, which begins on April 28, includes a visit to magnificent Florence, the "Cradle of the Renaissance"; Siena, famous for the Palio horse race; the Chianti area, Montepulciano and Montalcino, known world-over for their prestigious wines; and San Gimignano, a UNESCO world heritage site.
Participants will have the unique opportunity to sample several Slow Food Presidia products - high-quality, traditional foods at risk of extinction - and other local delicacies from Slow Food's network of quality producers, such as the Certaldo onion, the Pienza pecorino cheese, the wine of Nobile di Montepulciano, Brunello and Bolgheri vineyards, and gelato from Florence's oldest ice cream parlor, "Perché no!"
The group will visit local wineries; sample excellent wines, cured meats, cheeses and olive oils and shop for delicacies in the many bakeries, pastry shops, fresh produce markets and more. Participants will also taste the delicious, authentic dishes of the regional cuisine dining at locations highlighted in Slow Food's "Osterie d'Italia" guide - small local restaurants that still cook using traditional recipes and fresh, local produce. The itinerary also includes visiting the most interesting monuments, works of art, churches and natural landscapes of the region.
The tour will be held in English language and begins on April 28 for seven days (six nights). Click here for the full itinerary.
The Tuscany tour has been organized by Slow Food Travel, a Slow Food project that organizes itineraries in Italy that help travelers to discover less celebrated destinations or little known aspects of the most visited areas. It allows participants to discover the authenticity of a region by tapping into Slow Food's local network of food producers, winemakers, farmers, artisans and restaurateurs who, through their daily work, promote the local food culture and protect quality traditional products in their regions.

Microsoft announced that the first update for their Windows Phone 7 operating system such Unlocked LG c900 is finally here. The update has been rumored to be coming soon for quite some time. Although it has been highly anticipated, some of the more prominent feature upgrades were not included. The upgrades that many were expecting, such as the ability to copy and paste, were mysteriously absent in the first upgrade for the operating system that is suddenly gaining a following.
It also does not include third party multitasking support, which was one of the biggest features that many thought may be included in the update. The update does provide users with a number of fixes, and is probably serving as a test run for the company to roll out bigger, more prominent features in the future. This might end up being a good thing, and allow them to seamlessly transition in the future when these features are added.
Users will likely first hear about the update on their phones. They will be notified directly on their devices. They will also need to connect their phones to a desktop computer in order to install the new software.
Now that the first update for Windows Phone 7 has been released, you can expect the company to more continually roll out updates in the future. With these prominent features not included, Microsoft probably knows that they are disappointing some users that were expecting to be able to copy and paste and also multi-task.
Microsoft addressed these issues on their Windows Phone Blog, and provided users with information regarding everything that is included in the update. They claimed that it is "praving the way for all future goodie-filled updates," making it sound as if this update was a preliminary update more than anything.
PureMobile carries wide range of cell phone accessories and unlocked windows phone such as HTC HD7 unlocked, HTC 7 surround, etc..

BUFFALO, NY - A group of 100 or more disaffected individuals took to the streets to express their outrage over the court decision that acquitted George Zimmerman of all charges in the killing of Trayvon Martin.
"We're a non-violent people, we're not here to demonize white people or say that all cops are bad," said event organizer William Richardson, "but we do understand institutional forces that affect all individuals, that put them and put us in a position where they are hurt."
Protests were reported in various cities across the nation, from New York City in the east to Oakland and San Francisco out west.
A racially diverse group of protestors marched from the intersection of Kensington and Bailey avenues to the "E" District police station at 2767 Bailey Avenue Sunday evening, chanting slogans and carrying protest signs. There were no reports of violence.
Richardson organized the ad hoc rally mostly on line in the hours since the Zimmerman verdict was reached.

HOUSTON — Scott Brooks warned that this would be the toughest game.
"Nobody wants to go home," the Thunder coach said beforehand.
HOUSTON — Scott Brooks warned that this would be the toughest game.
"Nobody wants to go home," the Thunder coach said beforehand.
Brooks was right. Houston didn't.
And the Rockets won't be.
With their season on the line, the Rockets dodged a series sweep by securing a 105-103 win over the Thunder in Game 4 on Monday night inside the Toyota Center.
Now, rather than heading home, the Rockets are returning to Oklahoma City. Game 5 is on Wednesday night. Tip-off is 8:30.
Kevin Durant scored a game-high 38 points to lead the Thunder. Reggie Jackson added 18 points, Kevin Martin scored 16 and Derek Fisher chipped in 12.
Playing its second game without Russell Westbrook, however, the Thunder again missed its All-Star point guard and appeared lost at times on the offensive end while its most dynamic weapon watched from his couch.
Still, the Thunder fought valiantly and had an opportunity to send the game into overtime. Two missed layups from point-blank range in the final three seconds, though, sealed the Thunder's fate.
The toughest game yet in this series ended in the toughest way possible.
With just 12.1 seconds remaining and the Rockets leading by two, the Thunder had a chance to tie or win the game. After the inbounds pass, Durant mishandled his dribble and was forced to pass to Jackson. Following a strong drive and heavy contact by Rockets center Omer Asik, Jackson missed the layup. Serge Ibaka had an uncontested putback opportunity but left it short.
"They got into us," Brooks said of the final play. "At that moment, it was a scramble play. I thought Reggie did as best he could. We had an open tip-in."
Chandler Parsons led the Rockets with 27 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. Asik had 17 points with 14 rebounds. Patrick Beverley scored 16 points and Carlos Delfino added 13 points off the bench.
James Harden, meanwhile, struggled mightily. He scored 15 points with just one rebound and three assists. He had five steals but 10 turnovers.
"I couldn't get it going early," Harden said. "At halftime, I kind of regrouped. Then foul trouble kind of set me back."
Harden's personal performance was a microcosm of what was a particularly sloppy game, as both teams turned it over 22 times.
But the Rockets, to no one's surprise, started the game with a sense of urgency expected for a team whose season was on the brink. Fueled by that impossible-to-ignore possibility, Houston jumped to a 29-24 first-quarter lead as its shooters finally awoke, finding their stroke in the opening quarter and making five of nine 3-pointers. The Rockets hadn't converted at least 33 percent from beyond the 3-point arc in any of the previous three games.

We're setting a challenge to find the highest Microsoft Tag. If you think you've got what it takes, let us know and you could appear right here on the Tag blog.
Microsoft Tag works at both the highest altitudes and the lowest depths (subject to smartphone pressure and water resistance, naturally). If Tag had existed a century ago, no doubt it would have been used by both Phileas Fogg and Captain Nemo for balloon and submarine activities. But that's merely speculation. We do know one thing for sure, and that is that one of the highest Tags is currently located in Wyoming at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, whose highest elevation is 10,450 feet.
Why go high with Microsoft Tag? Well, Tag is great for providing dynamic information in rugged outdoor environments. At Jackson Hole, the primary activities are skiing and snowboarding, and snow lovers need to know exactly what kind of conditions they're going to get on any given day.
The resort is extensive, with two mountains, 2,500 acres of in-bounds terrain and 116 named trails for skiers and snowboarders to choose from. That's a lot of space. Providing guests with useful information when they're already out and about can be tough using only traditional methods such as static signs and guides.
The Jackson Hole Tags are located at various skier-friendly locations, such as the top and bottom of lifts and on all trail maps. Guests can scan the code and grab the latest news such as which slopes have been groomed and which haven't, trail status, and other environmental information that will help them judge where to go and when. Best of all, the Tag gives guests access to web cams so they can see what's happening at other parts of the resort before they even go there.
The Tags are also used by Jackson Hole hosts to provide guests with up-to-date news and guidance. The hosts in particular have found them invaluable. Says Niall Bouzon, digital marketing manager, who implemented the Tags: "We've had the Tag since late November, which is the start of the season for us, but the feedback has already been great from the hosts. The Tags are just a really quick and useful way to get data."
While some mobile applications can lead to problems of platform compatibility, Microsoft Tag, in contrast, has helped the resort send information to all kinds of smartphone users. Says Niall: "A lot of our guests are from the East Coast or LA; they're very tech savvy and are used to using their phones to get local information. The Tags are available to a whole range of or guests, not just iPhone users for example. And because Microsoft Tag has analytics incorporated, we can see how popular the Tags are and who's using them where."
The resort intends to add more content to the Microsoft Tag in the near future, such as happy hour specials and deals of the day. Jackson Hole also runs a mountain festival and is considering creating an on-mountain scavenger hunt using Microsoft Tag. "Our guests appreciate extra content and services that don't always have a dollar sign at the end of them," says Niall. "You know, the fun stuff."
We think there must be higher Tags out there, and we want to hear about them. Have you used a Tag at a higher altitude? If you have, let us know and we'll feature you here on the blog! And no matter where you used a Tag, can you think of a better idea for delighting guests with Tag? Get in touch in the comments below or on Tag's Facebook or Twitter pages.

Thursday, October 04, 2012
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Midway through the Atlantic Sun Conference season, the Lipscomb women's soccer team is set to host Mercer and Kennesaw State in weekend match-ups. Friday's contest against Mercer is slated for 7 p.m. while the Lady Bisons will play Kennesaw State on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
The Lady Bisons earned a draw with Stetson and fell 2-0 to Florida Gulf Coast last weekend, as its record stands at 2-7-3 and 0-3-1 in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
Caroline Chadwell scored her second career goal on Sunday, the equalizer, in the 56th minute to push for a draw at Stetson. Baylee Linnell used a throw-in to connect with Chadwell, the second time this season that scenario has played out for LU.
In the loss to FGCU, the Lady Bisons were only able to attempt one shot against the stifling Eagle defense.
Goalkeeper Erin Zerio continues her assault on the A-Sun record books as she sits in 11th place all-time with 310 saves. With 12 more saves, she will crack the top-10.
Mercer enters Friday night 8-3-2, unbeaten in their last six games. In A-Sun play, the Bears are 2-0-1 and in second place. Most recently, the Bears defeated USC Upstate 3-0 and East Tennessee State 3-1.
The high-powered Mercer offense leads the A-Sun with 30 goals scored and is led by Lauren Gassie with six goals and three assists. Splitting time in the goal, Maggie Cropp has 21 saves and a 0.48 goals against average while Nikki Atkinson has logged 90 more minutes than Cropp, with 22 saves and a 1.11 goals against average.
Kennesaw State enters the weekend 5-6-1 and 1-1-1 in conference play. Last weekend the Owls fell 3-1 to ETSU and beat USC Upstate 3-0.
Danielle Gray leads KSU with six goals while Katrina Frost has tacked on four goals and three assists with a team leading 38 shots. Melissa Hutto has spent nine games in goal stopping 41 shots and a 1.27 goals against average.
Both contests can be seen live on ASun.TV for free.
Following the weekend, the Lady Bisons travel for the final time this season as they go to USC Upstate and ETSU next Friday and Sunday, respectively.

Too many people do not understand, in MN if you perchase a firearm from a dealer, you do go through a background check. If you urchase from a private individual, for instance, I sell you a firearm, then you do not go through a background check. In order for this to work, all firearms will have to be registered and reregistered with current owners. This undoubtably will become a drawn out, costly process just like everything else with the government. I ask you this.. what would stop people from selling firearms without going through the background process? How will the government know if ALL current firearms are registered? It would mean you opening your house, car, office, etc., for complete searches by the government. Does that sound like a wonderful idea? MN is just fine with processes we have in place now for background checks. I agree the counties need to make sure they update the FBI quickly and accurately, which is a total different problem!

I'm just zinging ya', Avoice. You have to admit, *******costof war****/ doesn't carry much credibility.
Your numbers from OMB are probably right, too.
My guess is the difference is in whether or not long-term costs are factored into the gross. Future veterans' benefits and V.A. costs and...on-and-on...are rarely included in those budget numbers.
Believe it or not, as of 2005 there were still about 300 CHILDREN of CIVIL WAR veterans who were receiving benefits. No this is not a misprint. The veterans had children in when they were in their late 60's, particularly in the South, and the kids were in their late 80's and early 90's in 2005.
The point is, the cost of war goes on for decades. Or, in the case of the Civil War a century-and-a-half.

'Red Devils' wash up on Oregon Coast
FLORENCE, Ore. -- They go by many names: Jumbo squid, Red Rockets, Red Devils, Diablos Rojos, Humboldt squid.
They are known to be aggressive -- and delicious.
And for some reason more and more of the squid are turning up further and further north along the Pacific Coast.
YouNews reporter annieo posted photographs of Humboldt squid washed up on the beach near Florence, Ore.
"We didn't see them often off our coast, but now they're off Oregon, Washington and even British Columbia," said Brandon Ford with the state wildlife department in Newport, Ore.
Ford said it is fairly common for the squid to wash up on shore now in late summer or early fall. He said they don't pose a risk for anyone on the beach.
Not that the squid can't do some damage when alive.
"Their beak is about the size of a macau," Ford said, "so you can imagine that could take a chunk out of you."
There is no fishing season for the squid, so Ford said to anglers are free to fish for them. He said the squid can be aggressive when being fished, so use caution.
The squid have short life spans and usually die after they breed, Ford said -- and they are usually congregated in large numbers when the die offs happen.
The squid can swim at 15 mph and shoot out of the water "like a rocket," Ford said. "They call them red rockets."
And while the examples washing up near Florence are only a few feet long, Ford said the squid can reach 7 feet in length and 100 pounds.

PAWTUCKET — Pawtucket police are seeking information from the public, as well as reviewing surveillance camera footage, as they try to find a suspect in the Dec. 24 shooting of Ryan Almeida.
The 21-year-old man was shot at around 5 a.m., just outside his mother's apartment in the Galego Court housing complex on Leonard Jenard Drive. Almeida was found lying injured on the ground and was taken to Rhode Island Hospital, where he later died.
Major Arthur Martins said Thursday that the investigation is still ongoing and there was nothing new to report about a suspect or motive in the slaying. He added that police are still urging anyone with information about the crime to contact detectives.
Family members of Almeida's told police they didn't know why he had been shot. The young man, who also lived in Providence, was not previously known to Pawtucket police.
Police have not given any details about Almeida's activities in the time leading up to his death, citing the ongoing investigation. The multi-unit brick apartment buildings of Galego Court have security cameras mounted on them, and investigators are continuing to review footage, Martins said.
Galego Court, operated by the Pawtucket Housing Authority, has a guard shack and a gate at the entrance, located off Weeden Street, and often posts a security guard to check motorists coming in. However, at 5 a.m. on Tuesday, there was no one on duty.
Stephen Vadnais, executive director of the Pawtucket Housing Authority, said that cutbacks were made well over a year ago to the security guard shifts, and they are not done round-the-clock. He said a security guard is still on duty during evenings, but no one was scheduled to work at that early morning hour.
"Maybe at one point, we had security (in the guard shack) 24/7, but the Housing Authority could no longer afford to do that," Vadnais said.
He added, however, that there are numerous surveillance cameras on the apartment buildings, and the staff is comprised of three former police officers who rotate through there on a frequent basis. Pawtucket police also do regular patrolling in the area, he said.
Vadnais added that the incident is still actively being investigated and that it hadn't even been established if the gunman arrived by car. He said that 24/7 surveillance is not standard operating procedure in public housing, and that crime problems "go deeper" than simply focusing on preventative measures such as posting a security guard.
Anyone with information about Almeida's slaying is asked to call Pawtucket Police at (401) 727-9100, ext. 740 for Detective Sgt. Paul Brandley, ext. 737 for Detective Donti Rosciti, or ext. 760 for Detective David Silva.
