Re: Favorite NFL moment
Sorry, disregard the previous post. I noticed one needs to select Media Player and Preference first (top of the page) in order to see the video.
Sure enough, the players role was reversed on that INT: Largent zeroes in perfectly and delivers a picture perfect whack of a hit! What a licking to Bronco No. 31!
Alright Stevieee!

Re: Favorite Nfl moment
All the best Ram moments have been listed so I'll go with my favorite "non-Ram" NFL moment, which had to be watching the Faiders get their heads handed to them by Tampa Bay in SB 37. That whole game was just so fun to watch and gave me so much satisfaction. It's the one moment in time when Faider fans had absolutely NOTHING to say.

Re: Favorite Nfl moment
When me and my family went to Buffalo last year. We lost the game and I remember my son telling me, as he put his hand on my shoulder, "Dad I am sorry we came to the game because we lost!" I said to him in the closing moments of the game, "Jay, it's not the game that I cared about, it was watching Marshall, Tory, Issac, Mark, Adam, and all the great players that are on the team" My son was 11 years old and he smiled at me and said "Hall of famers?!" That was a nice chat I had.
The Tackle by Mike Jone.
And of course our Superbowl win!

Re: Favorite NFL moment
2002 NFC Championship at home.
* Marshall Faulk and the Ram OL plow their way on a short run into the Eagles end zone. Faulk's helmet is yanked off by the Eagles' defense but the battering ram kept charging to score one of his two TDs.
* Aeneas Williams intercepts Donovan McNabb's pass late in the 4th Qtr to shock and end the Eagles last drive. Captain Aeneas runs in celebration along with Ram defenders all the way to the Rams end zone.
-07-22-2005 #22
Re: Favorite NFL moment
Please refresh my memory. hone:
* Philly Eagles at St. Louis Rams. Grant Wistrom, with a strong pursuit, runs / hustles, chases and barely but effectively reaches Donovan McNabb's ankle to ruin an Eagles' 3rd down attack from near their end zone.
Did this great play also take place in the 2002 NFC Championship game?
I only remember it was a GREAT individual effort by 'The Engine'; that it was a big and important play. I want to say that play ended the Eagles chances in the 1st half?
Anyone have a clearer picture of this Wistrom-trips-McNabb play?

Re: Favorite NFL moment
'Starting new job in two weeks' -- I hear you, Masspatsfan12.
Now, has anyone remembered the Grant Wistrom sack on Donovan McNabb as described (post #22)? I still want to say it DID happen during the 2002 NFC Title game.
Yes? No? :angryram: A figment of my imagination?
It was ONE of many, many of my favorite NFL/Rams moments but, sad to say, I cannot seem to pinpoint the occasion!

Welcome to ClanRam, Carolina! You'll like it (despite the offseason).
Yes, it was a flush/semi-scramble to the left and McNabb was almost going to try making the 1st down on his own -- Wistrom says, "not on my watch!"
Good coverage by our secondary on Eagles receiver targets.
I'll settle for this taking place during our 2002 playoffs.

The New Year's resolutions span the gummut of health improvement and self improvement, but what are some of the most common ones? Well, quitting smoking is a big one. Smoking cessation products take a whole new view of advertising opportunity during the new year, and there's a reason why! Also, weight loss is consistently up there as far as improving overall health. Working out more is another common new years health resolution and is often connected to the weight loss resolution for most people. Some people have more of a personal goal, like getting together with friends and family more often, or expanding their personal business or goals for the year in some way.
Another health goal for some may be to just generally try to be happier, and have a healthier outlook on life, trying not to fall into depression (which 99% of the population has at some point in their life, whether man or woman). For those people, they may want to get more into activities that involve socialization and other activities that involve helping others, as well as taking care of their bodies.
Whatever your health goal is, there are some great ways to achieve optimal health, as discussed here in herbal news magazine, so please, remember to bookmark us for the latest in alternative health news!

12:0309(68)RO - INS and AFGE -- 1983 FLRAdec RP
[ v12 p309 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
12 FLRA No. 68 IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE Activity and AMERICAN FEDERATION OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, AFL-CIO Petitioner Case No. 3-RO-89 DECISION AND DIRECTION OF ELECTION Upon a petition duly filed with the Federal Labor Relations Authority under section 7111(b)(1) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute), a hearing was held before a hearing officer of the Authority. The Authority has reviewed the hearing officer's rulings made at the hearing and finds that they are free from prejudicial error. The rulings are hereby affirmed. Upon the entire record in this case, including the parties' contentions, the Authority finds: The Petitioner, American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO (AFGE), seeks an election in a nationwide unit of all non-supervisory professional employees of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), excluding special inquiry officers. /1/ INS contends that the petitioned for unit is not appropriate because it does not meet the criteria set forth in section 7112(a)(1) of the Statute. /2/ More specifically, INS contends that the employees sought do not share a community of interest separate and distinct from other attorneys of the Department of Justice, and that such unit would not promote effective dealings with, or efficiency of the operations of, the agency involved. INS is one of several Bureaus within the Department of Justice. Under a Commissioner, who reports to the Attorney General, it is primarily responsible for administering and enforcing the provisions of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952, as amended (the Act). /3/ Structurally, INS is composed of a Central Office, located in Washington, D.C.; 4 Regional Offices-- Northern, Eastern, Western, Southern-- ; and 35 District Offices. /4/ Each of the Regional Offices is headed by a Regional Commissioner, who reports directly to the Commissioner of INS. Each District Office is managed by a District Director who reports directly to the Regional Commissioner in charge of that District. The Central Office has Enforcement, Examinations, Management, and Operations Support offices, each headed by an Associate Commissioner. In addition, the Central Office has an Office of the General Counsel. The petitioned-for unit consists primarily of attorneys, but also includes accountants, economists, statisticians, architects and engineers. There are approximately 240 employees in the unit sought, of whom approximately 200 are attorneys. Attorney and non-attorney professionals are located in the Central and Regional Offices whereas only attorneys are assigned to the District Offices. AFGE exclusively represents a nationwide unit of all (approximately 5300) non-professional INS employees, as well as a unit of all (approximately 2000) non-professional employees assigned to Border Patrol Sectors, service-wide. Additionally, as previously noted (supra n.1), the special inquiry officers are exclusively represented in a separate professional unit. Thus, the petitioned-for unit comprises all of the potentially eligible employees within INS who are not already included in existing units of exclusive recognition. The non-attorney professionals are in the competitive service and are, for the most part, employed in the Central Office. Attorney professionals are in the excepted service and are, for the most part, employed in the District Offices. The non-attorney professionals render support services in the area of their expertise. For example, accountants, who constitute the major segment of this group, perform financial, accounting and bookkeeping functions in the Central and Regional Offices. Attorneys are classified either as Trial Attorneys or General Attorneys. The principal duty of a Trial Attorney is the preparation and presentation of deportation and exclusion cases before an Immigration Judge. The principal duties of a General Attorney include preliminary examinations of individuals petitioning for naturalization and the trial of naturalization cases before Federal and State Courts. Under a consolidation program established by the Department of Justice in July 1980 in order to assure as much as possible that INS attorneys are hired, classified, evaluated, promoted and disciplined under standards essentially similar to those applicable to all other attorneys in the Department of Justice, certain personnel functions relating to these attorneys are reviewed and approved by the Associate Deputy Attorney General (ADAG) in the Department of Justice. Thus, the program requires that all attorneys hired by INS and the position descriptions of all INS attorneys must be approved by the ADAG; all appeals on grievances concerning performance evaluation must come to the ADAG; and all recommendations for discipline in excess of 14 days must be approved by the ADAG. However, the record also establishes that INS' recommendations for hiring attorneys have never been disapproved; that the position descriptions for attorneys are certified by the classifiers in the Central Office; that the general personnel functions for attorneys are handled by the Central Office in the same manner as for non-attorney professionals; that the day-to-day direction of attorneys is accomplished within INS' line-of-command authority; that labor relations functions for attorneys, as well as for non-attorney professionals, are handled by the Central Office; and that personnel policies and general working conditions are basically the same for all INS professionals. Based on the foregoing, the Authority concludes that the petitioned-for unit is appropriate. Thus, as noted above, all professional employees are engaged in a common mission; are under the supervision and direction of the Commissioner of INS; and are covered by generally uniform personnel policies and practices, as well as common labor relations policies. Under these circumstances, the Authority concludes that the employees in the petitioned-for unit share a clear and identifiable community of interest. Further, the Authority concludes that a unit of all professional employees within the INS will promote effective dealings and efficiency of agency operations noting particularly that the record reflects a substantial degree of centralization of personnel functions relating to the employees in the unit sought. Accordingly, the Authority finds the following unit to be appropriate for the purpose of exclusive recognition within the meaning of the Statute. All professional employees of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, excluding special inquiry officers, non-professional employees, management officials, supervisors, employees engaged in Federal personnel work in other than a purely clerical capacity, employees engaged in administering the Statute, employees engaged in intelligence or other security work directly affecting national security, and employees engaged in investigation or audit functions related to the internal security

Mexico GP rumoured for 2013
This topic contains 10 replies, has 6 voices, and was last updated by necrodethmortem 3 years, 8 months ago.
30th May 2012, 18:25 at 6:25 pm #131473
– will next season be GP of Mexico in the Hermanos Rodriguez circuit in Mexico City.
– Valencia to be altering with Barcelona in May.
– Mexico to be mid-June alongside Canada.
– Refurbishments to begin as soon as the elections finish.
The circuit's layout; in black is what will be used most likely:
http://www.abc-latina.com/sport/images/circuit-hermanos-rodrigues-.gif30th May 2012, 18:34 at 6:34 pm #202445
Makes sense to have the race. Sergio Perez is pretty much the next big thing, so for him to have a home race is necessary.
With New Jersey also on the calendar next season, I wonder if the sport will stick with 20 races and drop one race off the calendar, or have 21 races. My guess is that the teams would want a 20 race limit and we'll see a race dropped. Dropping Abu Dhabi would be a dream, but being realistic I think that we're more likely to lose either both Spanish races because of Spain's economy or South Korea, which would be a shame.30th May 2012, 18:39 at 6:39 pm #202446
Refurbishments as soon as the elections have finished? Mmmm, heard that before with the French GP. But I'd welcome it back – this was always a good old track for proper drivers, and the altitude, bumps etc produced some interesting results. I don't mind if they chop the old hairpin as that layout pic is suggesting – there was never much passing there – the important thing for me is they keep the Peraltada.30th May 2012, 18:51 at 6:51 pm #202447
Peraltada is not gonna happen, that s****y section in the stadium is more likely and that will make it one of the worst tracks on the calendar. Would love to be proven wrong though!30th May 2012, 23:29 at 11:29 pm #202448
confirmed? not until the usual players have something to say about it.31st May 2012, 4:10 at 4:10 am #202449
Peraltada is not gonna happen, that s****y section in the stadium is more likely and that will make it one of the worst tracks on the calendar. Would love to be proven wrong though!
The stadium section doesn't exist anymore.31st May 2012, 5:07 at 5:07 am #202450
This is a satellite overview of the Hermanos Rodriguez circuit.
(click on thumbnail for larger image)
As previously pointed out, the stadium (longer) section doesn't exist anymore.31st May 2012, 5:09 at 5:09 am #202451
I think the most viable solution for the Peraltada would be to Hockenheim-er-ise it.
No, I don't mean castrating it.
When Tilke re-profiled Hockenheim, he added a chicane of sorts in between the hairpin and the entry to the stadium section. And while the entry is quite slow, the drivers can accelerate on the exit. A corner like this could be replicated behind the pits to cut the entry speed to the Peraltada, but not dramatically slow. The drivers would still take the corner at speed, but they wouldn't be going at full throttle. The trick is to slow them down just enough to make the corner safe, but not so much that the challenge is gone. Something like this is what I have in mind:
I also changed the very sourthern end of the circuit to cut out a corner and increase the entry speed to Turn 9.
The other alternative is this, which is a little more extensive in its changes, but it still handles the Peraltada with the same logic – that the entry speed can be controlled with a medium-speed extension of the existing Esses just as easily and effectively as it can be with a brutal chicane:
And in the most extreme version, the chances for an accident at Peraltada are further reduced by lengthening the circuit, thereby decreasing the overall number of laps:31st May 2012, 10:58 at 10:58 am #202452
From what I can see, everything is still in place for the stadium section, all they have to do is remove the rubber floor or whatever it is that has been put there for concerts (or maybe leave it to make it extra grippy :P). Surely a much lesser task than what PM suggested and many more tickets that can be sold.
And another couple of esses is the last thing this track needs, that would make it completely farcical imo. I already get bored after turn 6 when driving the '88 version in rFactor.
Basically the only good thing about this track is the Peraltada taken at full speed and that's the one thing I'm sure won't be in it.1st June 2012, 5:43 at 5:43 am #202453
Because the corner can't be taken at full speed. It's simply not safe enough.1st June 2012, 6:23 at 6:23 am #202454
Exactly, and there is no room to improve on that. I remember discussing this before around here.

Amazing, unique, beautiful, fun, and relaxing are all words that I would use to describe my experience at El Sol la Vida. My partner and I spent 9 glorious days at this B&B. Ray and Linda, the owners, were incredible, welcoming, warm, and a lot of fun. They were one of the main reasons that made our trip so special.
The property itself is tranquil and inviting. It has a lovely garden, a fantastic pool, and breathtaking views of the sea. There is a café next door, which was closed during our visit; however, it will open its doors again this autumn. Ray and Linda's daughter runs it, and I would imagine if she's anything like Linda in the Kitchen, the place will offer deliciously scrumptious meals.
Our room was perfect. The bed was extremely comfy, the A/C worked well, the bathroom was spacious, the balcony was charming, and the décor was tastefully done. They do a great job in keeping it super clean.
I would recommend this place to people wanting to relax and rejuvenate. I would not recommend this place to people wanting to party.
We can't wait for our next visit!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

Beretta has submitted a revision of the Army's Standard issue M9 hand guns in hopes of being awarded the next contract with the US Army as they select a new sidearm to outfit a new generation of soldiers. The Army however had recently declined the proposed pistol and will not be evaluating it for future uses. However here are some details to the changes made to in creating the newly configured M9A3.
A: Threaded Barrel
B: Polymer recoil guide rod
C: Removable front dovetail sight
D: 3 slot MIL-STD-1913 rail
E: Cerakote earth tone finish
F: Anodized earth tone finish
G: Universal slide design-interchangeable 'F' and 'G' style levers
H: Tritium night sights (front and rear)
I: Over-center safety levers
J: Oversized magazine button
K: Wrap-around backstrap grip unit (*1)
L: Vertec thin style straight grip
M: Beveled magazine well (*2)
Dozens of changes have been made internally and structurally to improve its reliability, but some of the largest and overt changes are the inclusion of tritium sights, an accessory rail, an oversize and reversible magazine release for left or right handed users, a over the center safety lever and decocker, as well as a optional wrap around grip to accommodate different hand sizes. Which addresses some of the design changes the Army are looking for in a new pistol. However unlike their decision for the rifle selection which was scrapped to use a different configuration of the tried and true M4A1, the Army is continuing in the direction of choosing a different path for their new sidearm of choice.

Ich, Kurbisgeist: Don't make the Great Pumpkin angry
Skyler Nowinski in Ich, Kurbisgeist.

It's fitting the the 30th anniversary season of Red Eye Theater opens with an absolutely confounding work.
That's not to say I didn't enjoy much of my time withIch, Kurbisgeist
. It's just that it defies usual analysis. The plot involves the denizens of a village where the pumpkin harvest is celebrated, in part, with some wanton destruction of our favorite autumn orange squash. The spirit of the pumpkins is none too pleased by all of this.

text: Hi All, So here's the problem. A project I am working on has a composite metal panel assembly, which a previous engineer designed. The metal panels are simply glued to the polystyrene (styrofoam sm). The problem is that the previous engineer did not consider the difference in thermal expansion between the foam and the aluminum, and the foam has begun to fail in shear, and detach from the metal panels. I'm putting together a report basically laying out the problem, and what I want to find is a temperature gradient which is "allowable" before the styrofoam will shear. Basically what I have done is set the thermal stress due to restricting thermal expansion (σ=EαdT) equal to the shear strength of the styrofoam (452kPa) and solved for the dT...which ended up coming out to 2.39degC.....which seems extremely low to me. Any suggestions on where I have gone wrong? The only thing I can think of is that I cant directly use the thermal stress due to restriction of thermal expansion directly as a shear force....not sure. Thanks,

I am 6 weeks tomorrow and have had on and off dull pain in my right ovary (or what I think is my ovary). It's not horrible, but it woke me up last night. All I can think is ectopic. I haven't had any bleeding, but the pain is on and off and more "on" the last few days. I am calling my OBGYN tomorrow but was wondering if anyone has had same experiences? This would be my third child.
Dull pain right ovary
Comments (9)
I don't have any experience with ectopic, but this is #2 for us and I notice a lot more discomfort this time around. I am also way more bloated. I'm wondering if things are just stretching out sooner and that is causing me some discomfort? I have had some pain close to the site of my ovaries on both sides the past couple of days.
I would definitely call the doctor, though, to put your mind at ease. :)

Yes.. it can be completely normal. I had that a lot during my first pregnancy..
Typically the ovary that releases the egg is in "charge" of feeding the egg until like 10 weeks when the placenta takes over..

Thanks for all the responses. Kimberly1407, you were right. I just got back from the doctor and had an ultrasound. Thankfully the sac is where it's supposed to be. It's crazy what you can convince yourself of thanks to Google. She said we all have cysts on the producing ovary until about 12 weeks. It's probably putting pressure that I can feel. H U G E relief.
PS- my doctor shared that as we get "older" pregnancy is a little bit more difficult sometimes. We feel more and have more aches and pains. Something to keep in mind!
I have been having some pains in what I assume is the general vicinity of my right ovary today. Nothing horrible, but noticable. Maybe that is an excuse to get in to the doctor before the 26th to make sure everything is going well...hmmmm....

Yay so glad you got confirmation of everything right where it's supposed to be!!!
Glad you found out-have the same pain and doc told me it was a cyst...a relief! I had a previous ectopic so was initially worried as well...congrats for a sticky bean!
Ok...my pain was constipation. Apparently it was poking in the area of my ovary.
I unloaded in the toilet (oh what a relief...I hate constipation, but especially when pregnant) and now the pain is gone.
I feel silly.

I just finished reading A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore, which may be my favorite book that I've read by him thus far (and I have read many Christopher Moore books). The main character, Charlie Asher, was described as a Beta Male steadily throughout the book, from the first paragraph to the last.
Moore describes Charlie Asher as "a pretty normal guy. A little hapless, somewhat neurotic, sort of a hypochondriac. He's what's known as a Beta Male: the kind of fellow who makes his way through life by being careful and constant — you know, the one who's always there to pick up the pieces when the girl gets dumped by the bigger/taller/stronger Alpha Male."
Moore goes into more detail in his Beta Male Manifesto. There is also a quiz at the end of A Dirty Job entitled "The Official 'Are You A Beta Male?' Quiz":
You're wondering if perhaps you didn't identify just a little but too closely with Charlie Asher. You're wondering if perhaps your very own [insert your personal weird neurotic tendency here] makes you less a quirky, original Alpha Male and more likely a . . . Beta Male. Well, don't worry! Step right up! In just a few short moments, you can answer the question: Am I A Beta Male? (PS: Ladies, if you want to find out if your fella is a Beta Male, just insert "Is he" where you read "Am I." You may want to keep the results to yourself.)
Now, assuming you (the reader) have read Moore's entire Beta Male Manifesto, I would like to pose the following question: is there such thing as a Beta Female?
As far as I'm concerned, the answer is Yes. Finding anything on Beta Females, however, is not easy. Mostly the links my search turned up were mere references in Alpha Female articles. The Beta Female is so good at being invisible that she doesn't even show up in a Google search! Oddly enough in searching for Beta Males, I didn't find much either. I did stumble across an article from the New York Times, The Beta Male's Charms, that highlights a web series a friend recently told me about (We Need Girlfriends).
I think that Beta Females are just as prevalent as Beta Males, but the Beta Males are the ones garnering all the attention. Maybe because nerds are stereotypically guys with thick-framed glasses who frequent the comic book store and gather for a D&D game night once a week with their friends. But for every Screech Powers there is a Violet Anne Bickerstaff. (That's a Saved by the Bell reference, if you missed it.)
Since Geek Chic is now in the mainstream, it's socially acceptable for the Betas to parade around like peacocks, only with colors that aren't quite as bright as the Alphas. The Beta Male and Beta Female are less afraid to be themselves. We even have a smattering of popular geeky shows: Chuck, The Big Bang Theory, 30 Rock. Again, more on the Beta Male trend, but Liz Lemon is representing for the Beta Female.
Personally, I'd prefer a Beta Male to an Alpha Male any day of the week. Alpha Males are often arrogant, which is one of my least favorite personality traits in a person; being confident is one thing, but being cocky is taking it a little too far. I prefer someone more on my own comfort level. Perhaps because I am a Beta Female.

Destinations » Germany » Cultural Heart of Germany Travel Guide
"The Cultural Heart of Germany symbolises a unique wealth of international culture, historical venues, impressive architecture and varied landscapes."
The federal states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia are the centrepieces of German history and culture. Together they form the 'Cultural Heart of Germany'.
Whether in Magdeburg, the German birthplace of the Holy Roman Empire, Wartburg Castle near Eisenach, where the famous reformer Martin Luther first translated the Bible into German, or Dresden, where Elector Augustus the Strong developed his impressive Baroque splendour, you will find unique sights all around the region. You will be charmed by art treasures, Gothic cathedrals and imposing castles, and fascinated by beautiful landscape gardens.
Many towns invite you to stroll around their lovingly restored historical centres. Whilst walking through quaint cobble-stoned lanes, you will discover places that have been shaped by the Middle Ages, such as Erfurt, Meissen or Bautzen just to name a few. Again and again, you will find yourself in the footsteps of influential historic personalities. Germany's most famous poets and composers lived and worked in the area of these three states. So it is no surprise that today the Cultural Heart of Germany is still one of the country's liveliest regions for theatre and music.
For those who are looking for a bit of peace and quiet, the scenic countryside has a lot to offer. Mountain ranges and lush forests will provide fabulous walking trails and the regions' chefs master the balancing act between hearty and haute cuisine.
The Cultural Heart of Germany symbolises pure joy of life!

The images remain fresh even as the memories
fade - the blinding flash of "shock and awe"
bombing, the square-jawed confidence of an
American president leading his people into war,
the cowering prisoner trembling on the ground
in the face of a small piece of American power. (Ed. Note: Some
images may be disturbing for some readers.)

I am, like the other happy reviewers, thrilled that Clairol brought this back, and really hope they never discontinue it again. I absolutely love it--works great, economical, smells amazing. I tried some of Clairol's newer Herbal Essences shampoos and conditioners and found the names cute but didn't care for any of them. I put the conditioner in, wait about a minute, then comb through and rinse thoroughly. Love it!

THIS IS GREAT STUFF! I started using this (yellow bottles) when they brought back the original yellow (Camomile) and Pink (Ros Hips) versions in 2013. I was looking for a drugstore brand that was simple and straightforward and did the job and made my hair look good (what a concept--a beauty product that works). So glad I found this again. My hair now looks amazing, healthy, shiny but not from product, just looks naturally shiny like young children's hair. That is pretty hard to achieve on 40-something hair. I brought these products to my sister's house and got her hooked. Ditto for my mom. I don't use a ton of this as it is not needed and mostly on the ends and work some in toward roots then rinse quickly. I highlight my hair so it needs conditioner. My sister has really dry, bleached/highlighted hair and she uses really expensive products. She couldn't believe this worked so well! It smells great (as opposed to the Herbal Essence curvy bottles which all smell fake and gross to me and don't work). My hair has literally never looked better. If you are looking for a simple shampoo, nice smell, drugstore product that makes your hair look naturally healthy--this is it! I have a review on the shampoo, too.

Was so glad HE brought back some of it's old products! I purchased this and the shampoo. Did not like it at all! Left my hair knotted and flat, flat, flat! Looked coated no matter how much I rinsed. I wish they would bring back the pink one. It had rose hips in it and smelled so good!

This was my favorite for ages!!!!!! Glad to see its back and still great as ever. It makes my long, blonde color treated, wavy hair feel soft and look shiny. The smell is wonderful and the product is light yet still very effective. Will definitely use again

I'm glad Clairol brought this back too. I loved using this when I was in middle school and high school. It has the same floral fragrance I remember and it still smells wonderful. Wish they could bottle this fragrance! The formula does have cones, but my frizzy hair does not mind it. It gives great slip and I was able to detangle my hair easily after my shower. I had softness and shine as promised. I also had very little halo frizz when my hair dried. I normally buy the pink bottle, but the yellow bottle is just as good. If you have had general success with Herbal Essences products, then you will love this.

This is a nice, light conditioner that has that great Herbal Essences scent that became popular in the 90s. It works well on my fine, oilier at roots, drier at ends hair. Leaves it very shiny. Don't believe the false advertising, though, this *does* contains silicones (cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone) and the shampoo **does** contain sulfates. However, my hair needs it since the matching shampoo is so drying, otherwise I would never get the tangles out (however the pink 'smoothing' formula was not as drying on my hair, so I have been mixing the 2 together and it's been working better). Overall, I like this conditioner and it's only $4.

I was so happy to see this back on the shelves! I found it at Target. This is the most amazing conditioner out there. This is sooo much better than the current line of HE shampoo/conditioner. My hair feels so soft and is much more controllable after using this. Having tried everything under the sun and having similar results, frizzy poofy hair, I guess I figured my hair had changed with age and that was that. Not so! It has made a huge difference in how my hair looks, feels and behaves. I feel like I just got my old hair back.......Gorgeous scent, too. Listen to Mommala.......try it!!!!!

Well it's about time they brought back the classic! You just can't beat the "original" smell of Herbal Essences. This crap they put out on the market these last several years has been nothing but junk. My hair feels clean, moisturized but not weighed down, and the scent lasts all day.

Canada adds whopping 95,000 jobs, more than half in Ontario; more students find work
Statistics Canada says the economy added 95,000 jobs in May, the biggest monthly increase in nearly a decade
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The Canadian economy delivered a "jaw-dropping" 95,000 new jobs in May, Statistics Canada reported Friday.
Almost all of the jobs were in the highly desirable full-time category, more than half were in Ontario, and even summer students got a break, according to the federal agency's data.
The spectacular gain pushed Canada's jobless rate down by one-tenth of a point to 7.1 per cent, the agency also said. It would have gone further, but more Canadians also rejoined the labour force, a sign of rising optimism about job prospects.
"Canadian employment shot the lights out in May, with a furious increase of 95,000 net new jobs, close to the largest single monthly gain on record," BMO chief economist Doug Porter wrote in a note to clients.
But economists also cautioned against reading too much into what has been a series of choppy monthly data. May's gain comes after several months of lacklustre job creation.
"While the headline is jaw-dropping, the six-month moving average for job creation is a more reasonable 19,000," Sonya Gulati, senior economist, with TD Economics, wrote in a note to clients.
Nearly half the jobs in May were in construction, a sector considered at risk as Canada's housing boom begins to cool.
Federal finance minister Jim Flaherty said May's figures are a sign the government's policies are working.
"What's more important is the positive long-trend when it comes to employment in Canada. Since the depth of global recession, we have seen Canada's job market steadily record solid gains — the best record among all G-7 countries," Flaherty said in a statement.
"We now have over one million net new jobs created since the depth of the recession in July 2009," he noted.
But he cautioned Canada continues to face global headwinds.
"We can't be complacent — we are still facing a very volatile global economy. Canada is not immune to these challenges from beyond our border and we will be impacted," Flaherty added.
More than half the jobs — 51,000 — in May were created in Ontario as unemployment in the province fell to its lowest level since November, 2008.
The jobless rate in Ontario was 7.3 per cent, down 0.4 percentage points, in May.
Across Canada, all the gains in May were in the private sector, offsetting losses in this group during the previous two months
Nearly half the hiring occurred in the construction sector, which created 43,000 jobs.
In a sign the summer job market may not be as weak as in prior years, the economy created 54,400 jobs for people age 15 to 24 years. The jobless rate in that age group fell nearly a full percentage point to 13.6 per cent.
Retail and wholesale trade created 27,000 jobs in May.
"Other services," such as repair and maintenance or private household services, created 22,000 jobs.
The business, building and other support services category also made gains.
Youths and older employees both landed more jobs, while employment for those ages 25 to 54 was little changed.
The U.S. economy created 175,000 jobs in May, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday, a pace economists described as modest.
The unemployment rate rose 0.1 percentage points from April to 7.6 per cent as more Americans joined the labour force, generally considered a sign of optimism about economic conditions.
The pace is below the six month average of 208,000 jobs, noted Paul Ferley, deputy chief economist at RBC Economics. It suggests U.S. employers were feeling cautious in the face of forced expenditure cuts that came into effect March 1.
Ferley said he expects that cautiousness to ease through the second half of the year.
"The U.S. labor market continues to recover. All in, the May report was decent but not fabulous," BMO economist Jennifer Lee wrote in a note to clients.
Most of the jobs were created in professional and business services, food services and drinking places and retail trade.
The average workweek was unchanged at 34.5 hours. Average hourly earnings in the private nonfarm sector were also little changed at $23.89.

Actually this would be better than pc imo if they offered say 3 tires of upgrades kits over time. Maybe every 3 1/2 years they would offer upgrade kits over the course of 11 years. That would give you more power and they could still do console optimization. also this is not gonna happen. #1 (Edited 1181d ago ) | Agree(19) | Disagree(5) | Report | Reply Welshy + 1181d ago This idea totally defeats the purpose of console gaming in my opinion. When i bought my 360 and PS3, i bought in the knowledge that from that day on. every single game released would perform as intended and equally with everyone else for the next 4-6 years. If consoles start to to hardware upgrades, they would be nothing more than restricted PC's. With a PC, you can upgrade anything, anytime you want, why would i shell out £300-400 on something knowing that not all games in the future will run fully? Or having to wait for Sony or Microsoft to tell me when and what i can upgrade. If consoles become upgradable, they will have completely lost their purpose and identity not to mention a whole lot of sales (excluding uninformed buyers). #1.1 (Edited 1181d ago ) | Agree(19) | Disagree(9) | Report | Reply nukeitall + 1181d ago There is a big difference between this approach and PC. The main one is the PC path is riddled with nasty incompatibilities and pretty poor overall user experience. There is no reason this upgradeable console can't have games that are still backwards compatible with the Xbox you bought and at the same time compatible with the upgraded part. That means the developers only have to test and optimize the game with two versions of the hardware as opposed to gazillion with PC. Retain all the benefits of console, yet make it current with the times. Sounds like a winner for me. #1.1.1 Agree(12) | Disagree(9) | Report hellvaguy + 1181d ago "This idea totally defeats the purpose of console gaming in my opinion." I kinda see your point, but if done right, I do like the idea behind it. I mean nothing can stay the same forever. Have to evolve or the competition will do it for you and take over. #1.1.2 Agree(4) | Disagree(0) | Report DeadlyFire + 1181d ago Don't worry this doesn't mean anything about upgrades. This is the specsheet layout of the Xbox 720. Nothing about upgrades at all. Communication fabric = ARM CPU? Sounds so similar to this? http://www.anandtech.com/sh... Other CPU/GPUs. 1 CPU/GPU each for Kinect 2/projector room, X360 compatibility, and X720 game design. Yes? or No? #1.1.3 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report SilentNegotiator + 1181d ago "There is a big difference between this approach and PC. The main one is the PC path is riddled with nasty incompatibilities and pretty poor overall user experience" Better, but it would STILL cause fissures in compatibility and the community. Upgradeable consoles absolutely defeat the purpose of consoles. #1.1.4 (Edited 1181d ago ) | Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report ShabbaRanks + 1180d ago Remember the N64 .... :) I don't think its a bad Idea, but anyways RAM is so cheap now that next gen will most likely have 4gbs minimum. If not MS and Sony are retarded... The only thing missing will be the SSD that I will definitely get at the same time xP #1.1.5 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report Oh_Yeah + 1181d ago The name xbox infinite would actually make sense if it's upgradeable.. Hopefully it is. Every 4 years or so just release an upgrade kit instead of a whole new console...same case, different parts..it would save everyone including the companies a bunch of money. #1.2 (Edited 1181d ago ) | Agree(7) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply thawind + 1181d ago Exactly #1.3 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Jazz4108 + 1181d ago Not to seem uneducated but please tell me what Tires has to do with this? I must be missing something Shutup? #1.4 Agree(0) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply JamieL + 1181d ago I think he meant tiers. #1.4.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report Mike134nl + 1180d ago Either way in some sense a new xbox720 or whatever will be upgradable to some extent with hard-drives and maybe some new face plates I assume . Leaving a slot open for possible future ram upgrades like the n64 is possible. In Microsoft case I would guess any upgrade kits to the system would only influence the media and apps functions of the box and not the specifications needed to play games. An additional processor might be included in kinect(2),but this is not a upgrade to the box. #1.5 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply chukamachine + 1181d ago PS3/360 already have upgradeable parts. HD,LOL. As for anything else, just no. Already got a pc, don't need another one. All console games must run the same. #2 Agree(7) | Disagree(6) | Report | Reply PtRoLLFacE + 1181d ago it sounds good but is going to have a big impact on the design, in a consoles every component is glued to the motherboard reducing the size of the machine, the only way i see it, is having gpu, cpu and ram cramped to a different board with is own cooling system, and then make attachable to the motherboard just like pc graphic cards, if everything is separate like normal pc it needs a different cooling system for each piece, increasing the size of the console, and don't forget the power supply, i don't know how that will play out, but the idea it self is not bad as long as they don't make upgrades every six months lol #2.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply AAACE5 + 1181d ago Believe it or not consoles used to be made with upgrades in mind. The n64 had the ram upgrade and an under slot for the disc drive that only released in japan. The sega genesis had so many addons it was sickening. It wouldnt be hard to design a console that has slots to upgrade ram and gpu. But the cpu would probably have to stay in place. It would be cool if we were able to swap out disc drives since those die out. #2.2 Agree(8) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Bathyj + 1181d ago The RAM expansion only came out after they realised Perfect Dark was going to run like crap without it and it was a big game for Nintendo with alot of anticipation for it. It never would have released if not for that game. And it was horribly under utilised by other games that came after that. I can only surmise that the fact there was a slot even built for it that Nintendo knew the N64 was going to be lacking in this area from the start. #2.2.1 Agree(4) | Disagree(0) | Report cee773 + 1181d ago then why was it a slot for ram genius #2.2.2 (Edited 1181d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report Bathyj + 1181d ago At least I can read #2.2.3 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report THC CELL + 1181d ago Sony owns a patent to upgradable consoles http://www.gtplanet.net/for... #3 (Edited 1181d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(17) | Report | Reply konnerbllb + 1181d ago They own a patent to do a very specific thing with their own console. They don't own a patent on upgradable consoles, that's ridiculous. Notice how Sony patented their own kinect technology earlier this year and didn't get sued into the ground by Microsoft? The same idea can be patented for different applications using different means of achieving what is patented. #3.1 Agree(9) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply ALLWRONG + 1181d ago @THC CELL Why the hell did you post that? #3.2 Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply GraveLord + 1181d ago Never going to happen. The whole point of consoles is that you don't to worry about any sort of settings/requirements. Just pop in and play. Why would someone buy an upgrade-able console when they can just buy a PC which would give you a much wider range of options. #4 Agree(7) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply Indo + 1181d ago Exactly. Everyone buys a console for the simplicity factor. If you want an upgradable system invest in a Gaming PC. #4.1 (Edited 1181d ago ) | Agree(3) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply BitbyDeath + 1181d ago Story Quality = WTF? Consoles are popular because you don't have to upgrade. Aside from Software you literally plug and play. Why nerd it up? #5 Agree(9) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply Bathyj + 1181d ago So you would either have a console you could upgrade that no devs would take advantage of because it has to be able to run on the lowest spec machine, or you would get games that take advantage of those specs, but everyone with the lower machine would be out of luck. I really doubt devs are going to make games scalable for different hardware configurations. The whole point of consoles is to have an even playing field so the dev knows exactly what hes dealing with and then can get the most out of it. And even if they did, it would only be slightly cosmetic differences. Theres no point to it. #6 Agree(7) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply IWentBrokeForGaming + 1181d ago I remember Jay Allard (if I got his name right) when he was still with MS he mentioned the possibility of them doing this with the 360 back before it came out! #7 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Hicken + 1181d ago Not gonna happen.

- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup sliced celery

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups cubed cooked turkey breast
- 1 cup instant brown rice
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- In a Dutch oven, saute the red pepper, onion, celery and garlic in butter for 5-7 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add the broth, wine or additional broth, thyme and pepper. Bring to a boil.
