A NY Tea Party Gov Candidate Not Named Paladino
Monday, September 20, 2010
A wave of fiscal conservativism and pent up frustration with the political establishment helped propel first-time candidate Carl Paladino to the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Since that surprise victory over former Rep. Rick Lazio, many have ascribed Paladino's victory to the Tea Party movement, which also fueled the unexpected victories of underdog candidates in Maryland and Nevada.
But Paladino, technically, isn't a Tea Party candidate. And Steve Cohn finds that assumption a little irksome.

General Campaign Season Kick Off: What's Ahead
Monday, September 20, 2010
With the party primaries receding in the rearview mirror, political candidates have their eyes fixed on the six week road to November. As the first full week of general election campaigning gets underway here's a look at what lies ahead for the gubernatorial and AG candidates.
30 Issues in 30 Days: Nominate an Issue
Monday, September 20, 2010
The Brian Lehrer Show and It's a Free Country are about to launch their election series 30 Issues in 30 Days. Each day between now and the mid-term election, we'll be going beyond the horse race and talking about the issues that matter. What do you want to hear discussed? It can be national or local; related to Senate, Congress or other important races.
Callers into the Brian Lehrer Show have helped us start the list. T. Howard in Queens said it's time to focus on the real backbone of American economy: oil policy. Christopher in Armonk suggested linking school funding to income taxes instead of property taxes. Ruth in Westchester wants to talk about repealing the Second Amendment in the wake of Supreme Court rulings that have restricted local gun control measures. And small business owner Joseph in Massapequa had questions about how new tax rates and the health insurance overhaul could affect his bottom line.
What do you want to know about this election season? Leave a comment below to nominate your issue and any other suggestions for the series here, and stay tuned!
Contest for Congress: In Hudson Valley, Republican Tries to Recapture Seat from Rockstar
Monday, September 20, 2010
Until four years ago, New York's 19th House District in the lower Hudson Valley was considered Republican territory. But in 2006, former rock star John Hall of the band Orleans used a grassroots coalition of environmental and peace groups to beat the six-term Republican incumbent. Now, he faces a well-financed challenger in Nan Hayworth, who is campaigning for votes with a message of fiscal restraint and small government.
Bullhorn: Gerson Borrero Asks What's Wrong with a Little Crazy?
Monday, September 20, 2010
Have we all gone loco in the media? Whether we like it or not Carl Paladino received 62.09% of the primary votes casted by Republicans on September 14th. The more widely known Rick Lazio, the presumed "sane" candidate received only 37.91% of Republican votes. Call me nuts, but as much as it may sicken us, we should acknowledge that Carl Paladino's in-your-face ways, his candid vocabulary, political incorrectness and even his racist tinge may connect and reflect millions of New York State voters.
Pennsylvania Voters: Depression Where Obama Inspired Hope Two Years Ago
Monday, September 20, 2010
Depressed. That certainly describes Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, a former coal-area that now, as one local once explained it to me, "scratches to get by. Where I'll sell you pizza, if you buy my tires." But it also describes the mood of the voters, who, less than two years after "Yes, We Can" swept the nation, pretty much believe, "No, We Can't."
Bullhorn: Juan Manuel Benitez Asks For GOP - Press 1 Only?
Monday, September 20, 2010
"We speak English here!" is often the answer I get at Republican or Tea Party gatherings whenever I skim the crowd looking for a Spanish speaker that can produce a soundbite for my television story. I wonder if they are the same people who cringe when an automated machine tells them to "press one for English, para español, oprima el dos."
Farai Chideya Interviews Allen West, Tea Party Star in Florida

The Mix: Voices From The Week of September 13th
Friday, September 17, 2010
Welcome to It's A Free Country's The Mix, where we take some of the notable Politics Bites clips and other voices found on WNYC this week and mix 'em up. Here's what we've got on tap. Voices are in blue, connections are in bold.
It was Primary Day in New York, and in NYC one of the big stories was the new paper ballots and voting machines -- designers Milton Glaser (the man behind the I [[heart]] NY logo) and Charles Blow of the New York Times were not fans...but by the time all those ballots were counted, the winners were decided, including a defiant Charlie Rangel, Democratic Attorney General nominee Eric Schneiderman, and the new kid on the block, Carl Paladino. Paladino was part of a big night for the Tea Party, which notched victories across the country. That movement is the subject of a new book by New York Times National Correspondent Kate Zernike, who sees parallels in the movement to the 2008 Obama/Biden campaign. Joe Biden was quick to remind his '08 supporters that they would need to be active in what looks to be like a very interesting fall contest.

Bullhorn: Edward-Isaac Dovere's Questions for Democratic AG Nominee Eric Schneiderman
Friday, September 17, 2010
Many of the questions State Sen. Eric Schneiderman will have to answer as he emerges from the Democratic attorney general primary are ones that were put to him by his fellow Democratic candidates, and have now been taken up Staten Island District Attorney Dan Donovan, the Republican nominee. He dismissed them as issues so far, but whether the New York general electorate—which is much larger and more diverse than the interest-group driven base Schneiderman successfully mobilized in an ultra-low turn-out primary—will let him may decide who becomes the next attorney general of the state.

Running Man Member : Haha
Brief Details about Haha :
Haharo (after Poporo). Real name: Ha Dong Hoon. Has a reputation for duplicitous conniving and betraying. He is fairly capable mentally and physically, but also has failings and inadequacies (he's weaker than Jae Suk, but in a sprint he might be among the fastest). He goofs off a lot and portrays a character that has a few loose screws and insatiable desire for female guests. He's still likeable for his childlike playfulness.

Kenyans living with disabilities make big community contributions
Commemorating International Day of Persons with Disabilities
Fredrick Mwangi Mbugua delivered a powerful address in honor of International Day of Persons with Disabilities at the Joytown School for the Disabled in Thika. Mbugua speaks from personal experience, from resilience…and from a wheelchair.
Fredrick, an 18-year-old graduate of the Thika school, shared the stage with United States Deputy Chief of Mission Isiah Parnell. "Fredrick could go on to become the President of Kenya just like Franklin D. Roosevelt was the President of the United States," remarked Parnell. Both Fredrick and former U.S. President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, participated fully in democracy despite being confined to a wheelchair.
Fredrick is one of the ten percent of Kenya's young people that are living with some form of disability. Persons with disabilities in Kenya are often discriminated against. People with disabilities have the same needs as other Kenyans, but do not have equal access to education and skills training to help them meet these needs. USAID partners with Kenyans in the government, civil society and the private sector to help people with disabilities overcome these barriers.
Teaching disabled students to Feed the Future
Students from the Joytown School for the Disabled and the Mary Magdalene School for Mentally Handicapped Children in Thika have learned how to grow nutritious foods like spinach, pumpkin, kale, and sweet potatoes. These vegetables have improved the nutrition of their school meals. Students can now grow and maintain healthy gardens of their own.
John Nyanjui is one of 32 mentally handicapped young people that can now find employment with their gardening skills or grow their own gardens for income or food. John, a recent graduate of Mary Magdalene has built a career in maintaining the nutrition garden and sharing his knowledge and skills with students. "I am very grateful for this job because I can now prove to everyone that disability is not inability. Now I can meet my own needs and even send something back home every now and then," he said.
The 42 nutrition gardens in the Thika area are part of Feed the Future, the United States Global Hunger and Food Security Initiative. Feed the Future partners with countries like Kenya to reduce hunger, poverty and under nutrition.
Providing hearing disabled students with the tools to learn
USAID programs are evaluating the effectiveness of information and communications technology (ICT) in classrooms that would address the learning needs of students with hearing disabilities. Fifty-two laptops were provided to Kibarani School for the Deaf. Twelve teachers were trained in how to integrate ICT into their special needs curriculum. See what Dzidza, a student at Kibarani thinks about this program.
Encouraging persons with disabilities to participate and lead
USAID supports community organizations that represent persons with disabilities. These local organizations raise awareness on the issues persons with disabilities face. They ensure the rights of these persons are included in legislation and work to make sure these rights are fully realized under the new constitution. Election and leadership training materials have been adapted to braille, large print and audio. Persons with disabilities are politically active, and 59 persons with disabilities are aspiring for political office in the 2013 general elections.

By KEN LARSONSun Advocate publisher
This summer several large projects have kept the Price City crews busy coordinating and supervising work. At the council meeting on July 10 several of these projects were discussed and payment approved towards many of them as they are completed or as completion nears.
It was announced at the meeting that a change order is necessary to incorporate expenses for an alteration in the pipe alignment along Carbonville Road. The increased amount raises cost of the project by $465,034.
Analysis of utility and blue staking data for Carbonville Road has resulted in a request from the contractor to change the proposed water pipeline alignments. This information revealed serious conflicts between the proposed water pipeline and the existing four inch and eight inch high pressure Questar gas lines under the road, as well as areas of conflict with the 12 inch and 16 inch Price City water lines that are presently there. The change in alignment is based on avoiding those lines as much as possible and placing the new lines in conformity with the county's parameters on distance from centerline placement.
According to the discussion at the meeting, attempts during the design to locate existing gas lines were hampered by blue stakes refusal to locate them before construction began. So as construction has progressed the contractor has found that there is a much greater conflict with existing utilities than expected. A large number of existing lines would have to be relocated to make way for the new transmission line. It was brought out that the impact on the city's existing water system would be significant and would negatively affect the delivery of water. However, by moving the new line further out into the road a larger portion of existing asphalt pavement will need to be restored.
In other city business J. D. Home Improvements has completed the reroof of the indoor pool. The city approved partial payment of $25,577 and extended the contract period by three days so the project can be completed.
Guymon Fabrication has completed the metal frame structures for the pool picnic pavilions and they has been delivered. The structures will be installed by city crews and then Guymon's will install the blue metal raised ribbed roofs. Partial payment of $3560 was approved for disbursal on this project.
Badlands Fabrication has completed the construction of the 300 East storm water detention basin pedestrian bridge. The council approved the final payment of $362.50, which completed the total cost of $7,250 for the project. Kent Stilson Construction has also completed the installation of the storm detention basin. The final payment of $1418.50 was paid to them.
Ray Moore of Professional Engineering Services has initiated work on the design of the new boiler system for the city's swimming pool facility. Partial payment of $750 was approved.
The Miox Corporation has submitted an invoice for payment in the amount of $88,843.50 for a Miox 502 package chlorine-mixed oxidant generation system for the city's water treatment plant. They must inspect the system after the city crews complete the installation and monitor the start-up. Partial payment was approved.
Sunrise Engineering submitted an invoice for their portion of the Main Street reconstruction that was completed last month. The amount of $18,459.77 was approved for the construction management, inspection and testing of the project. The Utah Department of Transportation will be reimbursing the city for this cost.

This tour was amazing!
An outstanding day trip from Munich with Ana as our very knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide. For WW II history buffs - this tour is a must! Magnificent scenery of the Bavarian Alps. Hitler's Retreat (Eagles Nest), Documentary Centre and the town of Berchtesgaden were among the highlights of a great day.
very enjoyable and interesting tour especially for my brother who has a great interest in history He could have spent hours in documentation centre
Excellent service and an amazing tour. What an incredible engineering feat Eagles Nest Is! Worth every Euro.
Very interesting and informative day. Our guide was great and we had plenty of time to explore the Eagle's Nest and the tunnels beneath it, visit the information center and the former site of Hitler's residence and see the sights of Berchtesgaden, before returning by coach around 7.00 pm.
We would be pleased to recommend the tour to other travellers.
We loved the view from the top of Eagle's nest it was breathtaking. Ana our tour guide was terrific, she was very knowledgeable, and spoke perfect English. we loved the town of Berchtesgaden. The whole trip was enjoyable from stat to finish.
This tour was one of the best tours we took. Ana our tour guide was great. She was very easy to understand and was very knowledgeable.
The views from the top of Eagles Nest were beautiful. We enjoyed the tour very much. Ana our tour guide was terrific.
Brilliant! I booked this tour for my mothers birthday. Our tour guide, Ana, was fabulous and ensured we were all taken care of and that we had plenty of time in each place. We were lucky to be blessed with good weather so the views were breathtaking once up at the eagles nest. We also visited the documentation centre and had a lovely lunch. Berchtesgaden was also lovely, we opted to just have a sit in a cafe rather than do a quick walking tour.
All in all a great day, totally stress free :)
Very nice tour by Ursula! Comfortable bus ride (bathroom and drinks sold by bus driver) with Ursula providing background on the history of Bavaria and current events. She was right...all the cows in Bavaria do look happy! She also got us up to the Eagle's Nest very efficiently so that we had plenty of time to explore and then back with enough time for lunch and shopping. Good walking tour of Berchtesgaden, I think it would have been great to see the salt mines, as well.
I thought the tour was very educational and enlightening. A lot if that probably has to do with our tour guide. She had everything scheduled perfectly and even showed us a few extra things. She also seemed to love her job!! Excellent job!
Excellent tour and good guide
Beautiful scenery. Excellent tour guide. Well worth the money.
My favorite tour of them all! Gunther, our tour guide was great! It starts with a bus ride viewing the beautiful countryside of Germany, while traveling on the Autobon . The sight of the Alps takes your breath away. Upon our arrival we entered into Hitler's bunker. (Had no idea Hitler had this built). We had time for lunch, which was delicious, and some time to spend money for souvenirs! Then we continued up the mountains to Eagles Nest. What a ride!! Amazing all the twists and turns as your bus climbs higher and higher and higher to the Eagles Nest. Once you arrive, words cannot express the beauty that is around you. The vista is something to see. We were fortunate to have blue sky and sunny weather, we could see for miles. I will have that image burned in my memory forever! The Eagles Nest is very interesting. Our tour guide walked us through and explained everything. We concluded our visit with a walk down a path, led by Gunther, to the bus plateform. It's all downhill and actually very easy to do, if you have the opportunity do it. Only takes 15 minutes tops, instead of taking the elevator down to the basement of Hitler's hideout. We wanted to take in the view for as long as possible and that was our way of enjoying it. After we headed to Berchesgardens for some brief shopping and site seeing. It is so worth the tour, I recommend it to anyone. The best is if the weather is sunny and clear, you will not believe the views.
Interesting tour, explained relevant detail about the construction of he Eagle's Nest. Possibly needed more time at the Documentation Centre/Bunker. Not this tour's fault but desperately need English translations at the Documentation Centre!
Excellent views.
Enjoyed the whole day and the experience of being at the Eagles Nest.
This tour is one my son wanted to do since he is a history buff of World War II. I had really very little knowledge about Eagle's Nest, so I was a bit reluctant at first. I have to say that the tour was more than I expected! We enjoyed the beautiful sights, as we drove in a comfortable bus, and our guide gave us information along the way. Once we got there, you realize how magnificent this place is and the exceptional feat to build this high in the Bavarian Alps in only 2 years. Never mind it was built for Hitler on his 50th Birthday; it is a lovely place to see and visit with views that will blow you away!
Very well organized. Highly recommend if you like the WWII history.
The scenery was beautiful. Breathtaking. It was a very interesting trip. Our tour guide was most delightful. She was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of information on the ride to Berchtesgaden. Be sure to eat lunch at the restaurant at the tour bus parking lot (not up at the Eagle's Nest). Some of the best food we had in Germany. Well worth the time and money to go.
Excellent tour. Our Guide Gunther was most charming and very informative and knowledagble. More time could be spent up at the Eagles Nest itself I'd say. The surrounding town of Berchtesgaden is beautiful. Great restaurant at bottom of Eagles nest. Time in the Documentation centre is a must - especially in the bunker! Most stunning views over Germany and Austria. Highly recommend this trip - lots of walking, so be prepared!
Breath-taking landscape ("courtesy" of lucky weather . Well organised tour baptised "Happy Tour" by our exceptional multi-lingual tour guide - mr. Gunther - I guess ?).
Keep it up !
D and D
glad we went but didn't appreciate anythong which glorified the Nazis
Enjoyable tour, totally recommended, Margit was the guide, lovely lady. Getting to the Eagles nest on a 30C day seeing snow on the mountains was amazing.
Very informative tour. Neat to visit places with such historical significance. Incredible views!

Results of a new University of Florida College of Medicine study suggest anti-aging supplements are most effective when taken before the onset of old age.
Using an animal model, lead author Christiaan Leeuwenburgh and his colleagues tested a mixture of anti-aging supplements on a group of middle-aged and late-aged subjects. The supplements contained antioxidant coenzyme Q10, creatine and ginseng.
After six weeks, the younger subjectswhose age corresponded to 50-year-old to 65-year-old humansimproved their grip strength by 12 percent and their neurological function by 66 percent compared to a cohort of control group participants.
In contrast, older subjectswhose age was comparable to 65-year-old to 80-year-old men and womenexperienced no statistically relevant improvement in physical or cognitive function.
"It is possible that there is a window during which these compounds will work, and if the intervention is given after that time it won't work," said researcher Jinze Xu.
However, older subjects who were given the supplements did lower their levels of oxidative stress and improve their energy levels.

Voluntary test nipped tainted pistachios in bud
TERRA BELLA, Calif. (AP) - The reason it didn't take dozens of illnesses for federal regulators to learn about salmonella-tainted pistachios has nothing to do with federal regulations.
Routine but voluntary testing by a manufacturer for Kraft Foods Inc. first detected the contamination almost two weeks ago, when workers at a plant in Illinois decided to check roasted nuts going into huge vats of trail mix. Private auditors hired by Kraft later found problems they think caused the contamination at a supplier's processing facility in central California.
If Kraft had not chosen to prioritize testing, 2 million pounds of pistachios that touched off government warnings and a nationwide salmonella scare this week probably would still be on the market. Neither the Food and Drug Administration nor state laws require food manufacturers to test the safety of their products.
"We're relying on companies to find the contaminated foods on their own, and since there's no national standards for this, some companies don't bother to test at all," said Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., a critic of the nation's food safety system. "What if these nuts had been distributed by a company that doesn't test? We wouldn't have found out until people got sick."
DeGette and numerous other lawmakers are calling for the FDA to monitor testing in all segments of the processed food industry, and for companies to be required to release test results.
Federal health officials warned people this week to avoid eating all pistachios and products containing them while they determine which products may be tainted. The nuts Kraft manufacturer Georgia Nut Co. tested on March 20 came from Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella Inc., the second-largest pistachio processor in the nation, which has recalled more than 2 million pounds of its roasted pistachios.
Inspection reports obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday show the California plant had two minor violations when inspectors visited last year, none serious enough to cause a health risk. But the company's sister plant in New York failed a surprise inspection last month after state authorities found cockroaches and rodent droppings. A spokesman for both companies said the Terra Bella plant supplies pistachios to the facility in Commack, N.Y., but he declined to comment further.
The investigation of contaminated pistachios contrasts sharply with that in the salmonella outbreak that began late last year involving peanuts, the subject of a criminal investigation and thousands of recalls. The problem was not traced to peanuts until hundreds of people around the country got sick. The company involved, Peanut Corp. of America, had tested its products, but inspection records show that in some cases it shipped peanuts it knew were probably tainted.
Private industry reported the pistachio problem immediately, rather than waiting for public health officials to intervene. And as of Wednesday, authorities had not confirmed any illnesses.
"You can call it a fluke, you can call it good luck, or you can call it good judgment on the part of Kraft," said Dr. David Acheson, FDA's assistant commissioner for food safety. "They're not required to tell us, they did and we're moving on it."
Acheson said the FDA does not mandate testing so companies are free to decide whether to take that step before distributing food products to stores.
Officials with the Grocery Manufacturers Association, an industry group that represents major food manufacturers, say Kraft has one of the most aggressive food safety systems in the business.
But they say getting the government to require testing of all foods is not the answer, since different foods are at risk of becoming contaminated at very different steps in the manufacturing process.
"You don't want to do testing just for the sake of doing testing," said the association's chief science officer, Robert Brackett. "That tends to be this one-size-fits all situation where it may work really well for some products and not for others. What we really focus on is for companies to build the safety into their programs in the first place."
Setton Pistachio has tried to do just that, by regularly sanitizing its equipment, and routinely testing for salmonella bacteria and other pathogens at the plant, said Lee Cohen, the production manager for Setton International Foods Inc.
Spot tests of the nuts the California firm shipped out to their customers since September did not detect any salmonella, he said Tuesday.
A plaque on the office wall said the company's hazard-control program was verified by the American Council for Food Safety and Quality.
"Our quality control record is fantastic. It's stellar," Cohen said. "You get a worm here and there. Every industry suffers from that."
Records show that the last time state health inspectors visited the plant, they found no violations that would pose a health threat.
When a California Department of Public Health inspector visited the plant in April 2008, he found some minor violations, such as insulation hanging over some equipment and packaging equipment that was temporarily repaired using tape.
Neither of those violations is thought to pose a threat to human health, and the company corrected them a few days later.
Last month, a New York state inspector found nearly two dozen dead cockroaches, rodent droppings, peeling paint, hanging insulation and one live cockroach on an ingredient rolling rack in the chocolate tank at the company's sister plant in New York, which produces chocolate and yogurt-coated nuts and dried fruit.
The company failed the inspection due to those "critical deficiencies," and was set to get a second, unannounced visit, said Jessica Chittenden, a spokeswoman for the New York State Department of Agriculture&Markets.
Two California legislators recently introduced a bill that would require periodic testing of food at food processing facilities in the state and mandate food processors to report to state authorities within 24 hours any positive test result for a dangerous contaminant.
"Consumers need to be confident that the food that they're purchasing is safe for their families," said Assemblyman Mike Feuer, D-Los Angeles. "Our economy is contingent on it."

Federal courthouses built in the recent construction push appear to have been overbuilt, according to a study by the U.S. Government Accountability Office in May 25 testimony before the House public buildings subcommittee. While the report's conclusions are preliminary because it has not yet been reviewed by the federal judiciary and the U.S. General Services Administration, GAO says that the 33 federal courthouses completed since 2000 include 28%, or 3.56 million sq ft of excess space, which cost $835 million to build and $51 million in operating costs based on 2010 dollars. The excess was due to building over congressionally authorized size limits and insufficient GSA oversight, overestimating numbers of judicial occupants and lack of planning for space-sharing, says the report. It is set to be released officially this month.

This really didn't do too much for me. It definitely makes my hair look better than no product at all (a low bar, to be sure) but it didn't provide enough definition and hold for my wavy layered bob. I have been using Redken Moveability instead, which delivers better results.

This is okay but I prefer Alterna's Caviar CC 10-in-1. I find that Bumble & Bumble's Grooming Creme provides some added definition and softness, but it also tends to leave my hair weighed-down, a little bit sticky, and it ultimately dries my hair out.
I like the added smoothness and control that this provides but that's it. By the 2nd day this product makes my hair feel greasy and dirty. I used this off and on for a couple of years until I found other products that work better for my hair.
Wouldn't buy this again.

I've been using Bb grooming cream for about 6 years now and can't live without it. It gives you definition, shine, texture and just enough weight. I mix it with Bb hairdressers oil and sometimes Bb texture- all so good. My hair is long wavy and can be a real pain. I love a beachy wave with some texture and grooming cream works wonders. At the same time it can deliver a smooth sleek look when blow dried through your hair. Men also love the product, my boyfriend raves about it! If you're considering it definitely go for it.

I've been using this with Texture to style my shortish, lowlighted hair. A small amount, really warmed up between my hands and distributed well throughout my hair, gave me a good amount of body, but somehow my hair was still a bit unruly--sticking out in places, looking frizzy in others, no matter how well I combed it through. I've now tried Drybar Cream Soda and have completely abandoned the B&B--the results are incomparable. I think Grooming Cream would be better for styles that need more hold, or for coarse hair. It's not a bad product, but I've found something better and will not repurchase.

This, mixed with Texture Cream, is amazing! My hair is fine but curly/frizzy and this product combo makes my curls look beautiful! It calms down the frizziness while defining the curl and making my hair super shiny. I can also use it by itself for less hold and a more natural look, it's great either way. No crunch either! I don't love the tube because if it were a flip-top, you could get the last little bit out. This is a tad expensive but a full-size tube lasts me several months so well worth the investment. And have already repurchased. :)

I got the travel size of this at sephora. I mix it with a glossing serum and apply to towel dried hair for frizz calming and it works well. I have layered asian hair and it gives a good finish without being heavy.

very happy with this. I have sort of coarse, wavy (part curly part straight) rediculous hair which tends to frizz and pouf up, and this makes it look like it has some purpose in life. I refuse to blow dry my hair, so I just smoosh a good amount into my damp hair, comb it through with my fingers, let it air dry, and I wake up to better looking hair. doesn't get rid of frizz entirely, but much more than I expected.
I like the squirty tube, and the scent is light and inoffensive. It's pricey, but considering it's the only hair product I'm using at the moment, and it allows me to put almost no effort into my hair, it's worth it.

I had this 5 years ago and didn't get that great results. Back then, I used a tiny, tiny dollop and mostly on dry hair, only in the ends. I thought of it as a smoothing product only, something to use very sparingly in my long, fine, pretty soft and healthy hair. I did mix it with surf spray in damp hair sometimes, but again a very small amount. Liked it, but wasn't thrilled enough to keep using it.
Recently it caught my eye again at Sephora, where a SA taught me a new and much better way to use it. She dampened my hair with Prep and put Grooming Creme ALL OVER my hair, and in huuuuuge amounts compared to how I've previously used it. This gave me a sexy, tousled beachy-look full of body. Like when I use a lot of surf spray, but without any crunch, so much softer and nicer to touch. My biggest surprise was the fact that it turned out absolutely non greasy or heavy, something I'm always afraid of with styling products. Needless to say, I bought a new full sized tube. This is a nice alternative to my Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray and surf sprays for the volume and soft texture I'm always seeking. Fine haired girls, do not be afraid to use enough of this wonderful cream. It is definitely so much more than a smoothing product.

EDIT: so I figured out how to make this work: mix a pea size amount with 2 pea size amount of Styling Creme and work into my towel dried roots only. Voila! Natural volume and hold.
EDIT: hm...it makes my hair soft but it also makes my ends a little choppy now.
I have long and layered straight slightly course Asian hair. I use a pea size amount mixed w Bumble Straight on damp hair and blow dry. This makes my hair soft and smooth, especially the ends and it helps the layers lay flat. A little goes a long way and keep off your roots! Worth every penny!

Social Security Disability Medical Information
Many disability applicants have to attend Social Security disability consultative examinations to receive a medical decision on their disability claim because their medical evidence is to old to be considered current, or they have no medical evidence at all for Social Security to make their medical disability determinations.
Generally, Social Security, for its disability determinations, would like to have a twelve-month medical history of an individual's disability condition, or conditions, that includes medical treatment information that is less than ninety days old (current medical information).
In the practical world, disability applicants often have no medical treatment information that is current enough for a Social Security medical determination because they have no money or insurance coverage to pay for medical treatment. Disability applicants often have lost their medical coverage and are financially stressed because they have not been able to work.
Which brings us back to situations in which Social Security medical examinations are the only source of current medical information available. In such scenarios, will one of these exams help an individual get approved for disability?
The simple answer to this question is that Social Security medical examinations or consultative examinations rarely help an individual get approved for disability. In fact, one can argue the point that they very often "help" an individual to get denied for disability benefits.
Consultative examinations are, by their very nature, somewhat biased against the disability applicant. They are short cursory examinations performed by physicians whose medical specialty may have nothing to do with the individual's disability condition, or conditions. Additionally, the examining physician typically knows absolutely nothing about the individual or how their condition or conditions have affected their everyday life. Generally, by contrast, only a treating physician (a physician who has a treatment history with their patient) would actually be in a position to know how an individual is affected by their condition.
Consultative examinations are usually performed to give a disability examiner some kind of current medical information so the examiner can make a disability determination. Many disability applicants are confused and think that they are actually being examined for treatment purposes and that they will finally get needed medical treatment. But, in actuality, most social security exams simply facilitate the closing of a case.
The reports that follow consultative exams are seldom ever used as the basis for an approval and if an individual was considering a disability application, but their recent treatment history was sparse, it would be in their best interest to try to get some kind of current medical treatment even if that was simply a visit to their local hospital, or an income-based medical clinic.
In general terms, medical information that is provided by medical sources outside the Social Security disability process (translation: medical records from doctors who actually have a history of treatment with a claimant) is more helpful to an individual's disability claim than the medical information received from a consultative examination.

Shapley's Super Tail Bag protects and keeps tail clean, promoting growth and preventing sun bleaching. Quick and easy Velcro closure holds bag in place while allowing bag to release if hooked or snagged. Red 24" bag is made of lightweight, durable nylon.
- After putting on bag, make sure your horse can still use tail to swat flies.
- Never apply bag or wrap to the tail bone, with or without use of Original M-T-G.
- Do not put wet tail in bag, as it can cause mold/mildew damage.
- Keep a watchful eye on your horse if new to bags. Sometimes young or bored horses love to chew on the bag.
"Thank you for your Super Tail Bag...it saved my horse's tail and I will be forever grateful. When I got this in your grooming kit I was a bit skeptical that it would really work. Well...let me tell you...it does! I had braided and bagged my quarter horse's tail (which reaches the ground!) and turned her out. Her pasture mate decided he was bored and started biting at her tail. Fortunately, his teeth got the bag...and ended up in his mouth...without her tail!! Made a believer out of me!"–- S.T.

Chic and ladylike are the words that come to mind for the DKNY spring/summer 2011 collection. Although a bit run-of-the-mill by this fashion week's standards –- tailored looks and neutral colors sound familiar? -– Donna Karan's trendier line includes go-to pieces that will no doubt be staples of any fashion darling's spring wardrobe.
Karan, like so many other designers, hopped on the sartorial bandwagon this season with sleek trousers, work-appropriate blazers, and simple femininity. Flouncy dresses and khaki trenches also made their expected appearances, and long-panted rompers appeared on yet another NYFW runway. However, mixed in among the sea of traditional silhouettes were standout details and one eye-catching accessory that seemed to hold the whole collection together: the DKNY Heritage scarf. From neck adornments to full-on dresses, this scarf was that bit of flare keeping Karan's collection unique and interesting. And the standout details? Beautiful ruffles, luxe fabrics and pops of unexpected color that deviated from traditional candy-like hues for spring.
Despite the fact that the overall theme was perhaps a bit expected this season, DKNY's collection is a showcase of exquisite pieces and wearable trends that we're already coveting for spring.

An Assistant Superintendent of Police attached to Ayobo Police Division, Longus Amuzie, and about two yet-to-be identified policemen, were killed during a robbery at an Access Bank branch in the Ipaja area of Lagos State.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the incident occurred around midnight on Sunday.
According to police authorities, some armed robbers were attempting to break open an Automated Teller Machine at the bank when policemen received a distress call.
It was learnt that on sighting the policemen in a patrol van, the robbers opened fire, killing at least three policemen on the spot.
The remaining policemen were said to have engaged the robbers in a gun duel which lasted for some minutes.
It was said that the policemen called for backup and the Officer-in-Charge of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Abba Kyari, deployed his men in the area.
Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said four of the robbers were arrested, while the others escaped with bullet wounds.
Braide maintained that no money went missing from the ATM.
She said, "Around 2am on Sunday, Ayobo Police Division received a distress call that armed robbers were trying to break Access Bank ATM in the area. A patrol team, led by the operations officer, ASP Longnus Amuzie, responded swiftly.
"The robbers, on sighting the patrol vehicle, opened fire while the police engaged them squarely.
"Sadly, two of our officers lost their lives while the attempted robbery was forestalled. During this encounter, SARS men were also drafted to the scene and four of the robbers were later arrested as they were attempting to flee the area.
"They are currently undergoing interrogation, but some other members escaped with bullet wounds. We are appealing to members of the public to report anyone seen with bullet wounds to the nearest police station."

Loud and clear, appraisers and appraisal groups by the hundreds wrote to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over the past two weeks. The main topic of discussion was the desire to separate appraisal fees and AMC fees on the new disclosure forms that will be used once the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure rules take effect. Read on to find out what industry leaders had to say.
Leaders at The Appraisal Foundation and the Appraisal Institute are working to galvanize support for two very different ideas about how appraisers should be regulated at the federal and state levels. Their efforts highlight not only the philosophical differences between the two groups, but among the appraisal profession and legislators as well. Read on to find out the details of their proposals and what the movements could mean for the way appraisers are held accountable and asked to remain compliant in the coming years.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yabby or Yabbie is a name given in Australia to two different kinds of crustacean.
- A freshwater yabby is a crayfish of the genus Cherax (infraorder Astacidea, family Parastacidae). They are often caught for food. They are frequently found in dams, ponds, lakes and rivers in Australia's Eastern States. They are usually caught by way of a baited string or trap. A widespread species is the common yabby, Cherax destructor.
- A marine yabby is a ghost shrimp (infraorder Thalassinidea), which lives in deep burrows in the intertidal zone. They are used as bait for fishing, especially in Queensland and northern New South Wales. A common species in south-eastern Australia is the Bass yabby, Trypaea australiensis.
The name is derived from the word yabij in an Aboriginal language of the Pama–Nyungan family.

Britain may need 0% interest rate to avoid a depression, leading economist warns
Posted By admin On October 27, 2008 @ 4:16 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,World News | Comments Disabled

Mail Online
October 27, 2008
Interest rates may have to be slashed to zero as Britain battles to avoid a full-blown depression, one of the country's leading economists warns today.
The extraordinary claim from Charles Goodhart, a founding member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, came as Gordon Brown signalled that he wants to see further, aggressive cuts in the cost of borrowing.
Mr Goodhart, professor emeritus of banking and finance at the London School of Economics and a member of the MPC between 1997 and 2000, tells Channel 4's Dispatches programme: 'Interest rates will go down from now, by how far and how fast
nobody knows.
'They could go to zero. They went to zero in Japan in the 1990s when the Japanese had a recession or depression which went on for a long time and was quite severe.'
Such a drastic move here would bring rates, currently 4.5 per cent, to their lowest level since the Bank of England was founded in 1694.

US budget gap widens, tops $1 trln for 3rd year
Posted By kurtnimmo On October 14, 2011 @ 2:08 pm In Economic Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Pedro Nicolaci da Costa
October 14, 2011
The U.S. budget gap widened slightly in fiscal 2011, staying above $1 trillion for a third straight year and providing fodder for a political battle over taxes and spending ahead of next year's presidential election.
The Treasury Department report on Friday comes just over two months after an epic showdown over the nation's debt ceiling that pushed the United States close to a debt default and led to a downgrade of America's prized AAA credit rating.
The shortfall in September, the final month of the fiscal year, widened to $64.57 billion compared to the same month a year earlier, although it came in at a few billion dollars less than economists had projected. The annual deficit was $1.299 trillion, up from 1.294 trillion in fiscal 2010.

Few people, if any, have impressed me more during my career than the Dutch twin brothers Alfons and Adrie Kennis, also known as Kennis & Kennis. Specialized in meticulous, extremely accurate and awe-inspiring beautiful paleontological reconstructions and paintings, the talent of the Kennis brothers is as amazing as their personalities.
Alfons and Adrie started publishing in the magazine in the early 2000's, brought in by former Art Director Chris Sloan (see Chris' new company here). I remember vividly the lasting impression their series of paintings of extinct mammals of the Jurassic left in me, a couple of years before I started working for National Geographic. I wanted to meet them right away!
Adrie and Alfons work simultaneously in all their paintings in an organic process where it's impossible to know which one of them worked in the different phases or areas of a canvas. Their feature textured white backgrounds are beautiful and the exquisitely lightning and sculptural feel of their figures reveals their technique: they first build every animal they paint as a three dimensional, small-size, clay model for reference of volume and lightning.
As it turns out the Kennis brothers are terrific sculptors and their anatomical knowledge is sought by natural history museums all over the world.
Most paleo-reconstructions of extinct hominids feel stiff and lifeless to me, but not theirs. The emotion and expression of their figures is unique. As examples, see their "Lucy's baby" below. The playful 3 year old Australopithecus afarensis was our cover in November, 2006. Below it, the weathered face of a Neanderthal male:
I was fortunate to work directly with the Kennis brothers in the reconstruction of a female Neanderthal we created for our October 2008 cover. The story had it all. Terrific science (the neanderthal genome was being decoded, offering new clues), picturesque fossils sites in Siberia and Spain and the unfolding drama of a species being cornered into extinction in Europe as homo sapiens quickly occupied their former range in Europe.
Alfons and Adrie worked for 6 month on our female Neaderthal, in a meticulous process that started with the reconstruction of an entire skeleton based on the existing fossils of different specimens scattered around the world. I art directed from Washington, and visited in their amazing studio-warehouse near Amsterdam during the process.
Since the best existing reference for the thorax was a male specimen, Adrie and Alfons painstakingly disassembled a model of the thorax, shaved off a few millimeters off each rib and each vertebra and put it back together to obtain an appropriately sized smaller female thorax.
We worked closely with scientists at Duke University, the University of Washington in St. Louis and the Natural History Museum of London for accuracy. Despite the enormous amount of work involved in creating a life-size, articulated and scientifically accurate skeleton, at the end it would not be visible. The purpose was to serve as a base for the external layers of the body, knowing that the proportions given by the bones were right. The next step was to add all the muscles and skin, in layers of plasticine clay:
And this is the external appearance of the clay model before casting it into the final silicone figure:
The finished model incorporated real red hair of Scottish Highland cattle (DNA evidence pointed to many neanderthals being red-haired) and a carefully crafted outer layer of skin that included wrinkles and pores the Kennis brothers obtained by transferring skin impressions of their own faces into the model. Alfons and Adrie finally added black pock marks, a tan face tonality and reddened cheeks after studying the faces of Mongolian nomads and other populations that spend a lot of time outdoors in climates as cold as Europe was when it was inhabited by Neanderthals.
Being National Geographic, we couldn't just photograph Wilma (our reconstruction's nickname) in a studio. The Kennis brothers took her all the way to Spain in the back of their truck, and I joined them there along with photographer Joe McNally and our Creative Director to do a photo shoot next to the cave where some of the evidence was found.
The adventures of the photo shoot were best narrated by then Design Editor Oliver Uberti in his former blog. Among other things, we were evicted from a National Park by guards for conspicuously carrying a large naked female figure without permission to do so, and chased by a wild bull on the way to the cave!
And all of that just to show a cover and two other pictures in the magazine, plus the accompanying graphic I did with artist Bruce Morser. You must think we are crazy, and we do feel that way sometimes!
In case you are curious, here are three of the many sketches the Kennis brothers did at the beginning of the process. The first takes were too feminized and idyllic to my taste. We wanted a neanderthal female that was defiant and strong, as some of the new scientific evidence pointed to the fact neanderthal may have participated in hunting along with males, unlike homo sapiens.
I'll finish with another painting by Alfons and Adrie for a more recent stories on extinct Australian megafauna. As in any art direction project involving this odd pair of geniuses, there were some heated arguments about the direction of the project, with me and former Graphics Editor Hiram Henriquez working on it from Nat Geo's side. It's not unusual for them to refuse ANY changes to their artwork but I see that as an expression of how deeply they care about the integrity of their artwork and the scientific accuracy behind, and we always ended up agreeing. Can't wait to do it again!
Check the Kennis brothers' website here, I hope you'll love their work. Also, here is a video where they narrate their process for a reconstruction of Otzi the Iceman. This one was not commissioned by National Geographic, be we used a picture of the model in our November 2011 issue.

Bail extension for two on drug rap
Christopher Thomas, STAR Writer
The case against two St James men who were reportedly held with more than two pounds of cocaine last March was last Wednesday deferred to September 2 in the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court.
Hugh Roach from Westgate Hills, and Kirk Levey from Porto Bello are charged with possession of and dealing in two pounds and 3.24 ounces of cocaine. They had their bails extended.
It is alleged that on March 6, 2013, 5:20 p.m., a police team on operation in Westgate Hills saw Roach and Levey on the front patio of Roach's house.
Roach allegedly attempted to hide a plastic bag under his chair, but it was retrieved and found to contain a rectangular package wrapped in masking tape, which, when cut open, had a white, powdery substance resembling cocaine. Roach and Levey were arrested and charged.
"If it pleases your honour, the prosecution has not been able to obtain phone records in this matter," clerk of the court Natalie Malcolm told presiding magistrate Carolyn Tie.
"So the bottom line is, we are where we were on the last occasion," RM Tie replied.
The case was subsequently set for mention on September 2.

What Do I Need to Know About Filing Divorce in Indiana with Help Yourself Divorce?
Help Yourself Divorce is a no-fault divorce service, for those who agree on the terms of the divorce and are both willing to sign the papers. The following is a list of requirements and information about what to expect from the process. Please note that this will only apply if you use the services of Help Yourself Divorce. Those seeking to use another route for their divorce should perform their own research about what to expect from the process.
Indiana Grounds for Divorce.
In order to file for divorce, you must tell the court why you want a divorce. The legal reason why you are filing for divorce is known as the "grounds" for divorce. Because we are a no-fault divorce service, Help Yourself Divorce will prepare your papers based on the no-fault grounds of "irretrievable breakdown of the marriage". This means you and your spouse agree to file a no-fault divorce.
Indiana Residency Requirements.
In order to file for divorce in Indiana, at least one of the parties must have been a resident of Indiana, or stationed at a United States military installation within Indiana, for at least 6 months. At least one spouse must also have been a resident of the county where the divorce papers are filed, or stationed at a United States military installation within the county where the divorce papers are filed, for at least 3 months.
If you and your spouse have minor children, the court must have jurisdiction over them. Generally this means your children must have lived in Indiana for at least six months and currently live in Indiana, or have lived in Indiana within six months of filing.
Filing for Divorce in Indiana.
Generally you will file for divorce in the Indiana county where either spouse lives.
Indiana Divorce Filing Fees.
When you file the papers, you will have to pay a separate filing fee to the Courts. Please check with your local court clerk to find out how much the current filing fee is.
Serving Your Spouse.
After filing the divorce papers with the court, the clerk of the court will serve your spouse with a copy of the divorce papers. This is either done by certified mail or Sheriff.
Waiting Period.
There is a 60 day waiting period in Indiana after filing the divorce papers before your divorce can be finalized. However, how long it actually takes to finalize your divorce will simply depend on the schedule of the Court.
Finalizing Your Divorce.
In Indiana, you are allowed to waive the final hearing if both spouses agree in writing. We will provide you with this form so that neither party will have to attend a hearing. The judge will simply review your paperwork, sign the final decree, and mail it back to you. You will know your divorce is final when you receive the signed decree back from the judge.
If you have any questions about whether our service is right for you, please don't hesitate to contact us.
IMPORTANT: Help Yourself Divorce is a paralegal service, not a law firm. Please don't rely on this information for legal advice. Seek help from an attorney if you need legal advice.
