I remember in the first game, one of the scenarios gave you infinite money and a huge ass sandy landscape to build rides. I had over 40 roller coasters by the end... If only I can get that save file off of my Pentium 1 machine back at my folk's home... I'd play it again.

Quote :If you want to play RollerCoaster Tycoon in a widescreen resolution, you will need to edit the RCT.exe with a Hex Editor [1] (create a backup first!). You need to search for these two hex values: "58 02 00 00 68 20 03 00 00" and "20 03 00 00 c7 45 f4 58 02 00 00". In both of them you have to change 20 03 to the new width and 58 02 to the new height. In the game, you need to switch to Fullscreen 800x600 in the options menu, as that is the resolution you customized with this method.
Working ResolutionsEdit
1280 x 720 (16:9): Change 20 03 to 00 05, 58 02 to d0 02.
1280 x 768 (15:9): Change 20 03 to 00 05, 58 02 to 00 03.
1280 x 1024 (5:4): Change 20 03 to 00 05, 58 02 to 00 04.
Higher resolutions won't work, though lower resolutions should be possible. Ensure that the wanted resolution is compatible with your video card settings, otherwise it will be set to 640x480.
The hexadecimal values are calculated by converting the width or height number from decimal to hex, then inverting the order of the bytes. For example, 720 in decimal is 2D0 in hex (this can be converted with the Windows calculator in scientific mode). Adding a zero to the left we get two bytes, 02 D0. Inverting the order we get d0 02.
Another example: 800 (decimal) -> 320 (hex) -> 03 20 -> 20 03 which is the width value to be changed from the 800x600 resolution.

Maurice and Bernadette have made it through the dog days of summer and are both looking forward to cooler weather. Cheesey is not sure if they care about leaf watching, but they certainly care about the crisp mornings! Maurice, the cat, is now waking up from a summer stupor and has been seen actually hunting (and still catching) little presents for the office. Bernadette, the Bernese Mountain Dog, has spent much of the summer in the air conditioning but now is frisky and still puppy like. With the drought we have experienced since the end of August, Winey and Cheesey, predict an early leaf change this year. But there will be no guarantees of a certain date.
The menu is changing to fall with some scumptous free range veal three ways, local Lamb from Fields of Athenry, and local Larsons Rabbits. We continue to get alot of our products locally, to ensure the best and freshest ingredients for our guests. And that travels right through breakfast with our local farm fresh eggs. A great time to come and dine!

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
by Ken Kesey
Analysis: Tone
Take a story's temperature by studying its tone. Is it hopeful? Cynical? Snarky? Playful?
Kesey is clearly sympathetic to the patients on the ward. His portrayal of the patients shows their humanity and their dignity, as well as their ability to perceive the truth of a situation despite their frequent inability to comprehend reality. Kesey's portrayal of the staff indicates how the very position they're put in corrupts them.

This year's incarnation distance between _______. (approaches to contemporary drawing), has been culled from four sections of the Art Academy's Drawing V course. It features works by Eunha Chung, Megan Gertz, Hannah Graff, Cody Gunningham, Lindsey Henderson, Kerrie Houle, Evan Lautzenheiser and John Sloan. These young artists explore the frontier of drawing as both a process and an end in and of itself. I happen to be adjunct faculty at the Art Academy, so you'll have to allow me this one indulgence of promoting student's work. I think they've earned it, and I hope you will, too. Opening reception is 7-10 p.m. Saturday.

Jixi County belonged to Huizhou city in ancient time. At that time, studying was very popular, so the buildings of ancestral hall were scattered in everywhere. Hu ancestral hall in Longchuan was built in the 25th year of Jiaqing period in Ming dynasty (namely the year 1574), and it was rebuilt in the fourth year of Guangxu period in Qing dynasty (namely the year 1898). The hall situates in the north and faces the south. It has three gardens, and occupies 1271 square meters. The decoration in the hall is elegant, especially the well preserved wood carving. The hall is called the treasure house of wood carving arts of Hui style. Two of the ministers in Ming dynasty came from Longchuan. The place is also the hometown of Hu Jintao, the present president of People's republic of China. The Hu ancestral hall was listed as the major historical and cultural site under state protection in 1988. Experts concerned praised the Hu ancestral hall is the best hall ever seen.

Shares of Maruti Suzuki India rose by more than 4 per cent today after the company reported over two-fold jump in net profit for its third quarter ended December, 2012.
Scrip of the country's largest car maker settled at Rs 1,600.20, up 4.15 per cent on the BSE. During the day, the stock touched 52-week high of Rs 1,607.65.
The scrip was the top gainer among the BSE's 30 bluechip companies that make up its index, Sensex. At the NSE, the stock rose by 4.17 per cent to Rs 1,603. "Maruti Suzuki reported strong performance in Q3 FY'13, mainly on operational front," Karvy Stock Broking said in a report.
According to Yaresh Kothari, Research Analyst (Automobile), Angel Broking: "Maruti reported strong set of results. While the top-line was broadly in-line with the estimates, bottom-line was slightly ahead despite higher tax rate."
Riding on good sales of new models like Ertiga and Swift DZire, and benefiting from low base effect, Maruti Suzuki today reported over two-fold jump in net profit at Rs 501.29 crore for the October-December quarter, 2012.
The company's net profit stood at Rs 205.62 crore during the same period in 2011-12 fiscal.
Net sales during the period under review were at Rs 10,956.95 crore, up 45.57 per cent from Rs 7,527.10 crore in the year-ago period, Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) said in a statement.

NCAA released the allocations today.
Big XII tourney gets:
125: 4
133: 3
141: 3
149: 3
157: 3
165: 4
174: 3
184: 3
197: 3
With Z getting hurt Gibson might be the only AQ at heavy.
Edit: Just checked the RPI and coaches poll. Gibson and Mellon (Missouri) are both AQs at Heavy. The Big 12 would have had three if Z hadn't gotten hurt last week.
Last edited by Judoka; 02-23-2012 at 12:11 PM.
I'll post my preview after the OSU-Mizzou dual on Friday. Looks like our AQs are Finch, Goettl, Sorenson, Spangler, and Gibson. But both Beard and Ward are in a very good position to steal a spot. And Moreno just needs one win to sneak in. And you never know if Cozart could get lucky and pull off a throw.
Beard is a "Bronze" standard wrestler and only isn't an AQ due to not having enough matches. So depending on what happens around the country with upsets at 184 he could get in to the NCAAs even if he takes 4th. Technically Moreno and Ward also could get a wild card, but Beard is the only one who would realistically be considered for one in that situation.
Last edited by Judoka; 02-23-2012 at 12:54 PM.
Beard did not earn a spot at 184? Why not?
Does the Ok State wrestler have 8 matches at 184? I thought you needed 8 matches at your qualifying weight to be eligilble for a qualifying bid.

To be an AQ you must be a "silver" or "gold" standard wrestler, which means meeting at least two of the three following criteria:
Ranked in the coaches poll (Beard is 15th)
Ranked in the RPI (Beard did not meet the 17 match minimum for an RPI ranking)
Be above .700 winning percentage (Beard is 9-4, which is a .6923)
So Beard is a "Bronze" standard wrestler due only to not having 17 matches and being one win shy of a .700 record. He has multiple wins over other AQs and I fully expect him to qualify.
Finch had exactly 17 matches against D-1 opponents. So if Finch had wrestled one less match during the entire season he'd be in the same situation.
Sorenson was our only "Gold" standard wrestler. Finch, Goettl and Gibson all meet the Coaches Poll and RPI standards but not the .700 winning percentage. Spangler meets the Coaches Poll and winning percentage standards but lacked the 17 match minimum to be included in the RPI.
Cyclone Report is saying that the OSU wrestler is the 1 that didn't get the bid at 184. Is the guys who received bids listed somewhere?
To be considered for a wild card a wrestler must be at least "Bronze' standard. To be considered "Bronze" standard a wrestler must meet at least two of the following criteria on March 7th:
●● .700 Win %
●● Top 33 RPI
●● Top 33 CR (2/22/12 measure)
●● .700 winning percentage against all competition
●● One win against a wrestler receiving automatic qualification via an earned position (pre-allocated)
●● Qualifying event placement one below automatic qualification
So our AQs plus Ward, Beard, and Moreno would be eligible by these standards.
This is what the committee will look at for wild cards:
●● Head-to-head competition
●● Qualifying event placement
●● Quality wins
●● Results against common opponents
●● Win %
●● Number of matches contested at that weight class
Based on this, barring a bunch of upsets in other tournaments Beard would likely have a good shot at a wild card. Ward just doesn't have enough matches and I can't see Moreno getting serious consideration if he doesn't win a match at Big 12s.
Last edited by Judoka; 02-23-2012 at 12:51 PM.
What is the win % for McNeil of OSU? He is 25th in coaches poll at 184 and not in RPI. Beard is 15th in coaches poll and also not in RPI.

They did reserve the right to lower or raise the .700 winning percentage as needed to get to exactly 29 qualifiers at each weight. So it is possible that they did that and made Beard an AQ. Both Beard and McNeil would be "bronze" standard without the committee doing some manipulation.
McNeil is at .550, so it does look like they lowered the winning percentage and Beard is an AQ based on that.
Sorry to be a pain just trying to figure it out. Thanks, Judoka!
So the guys that didn't earn qualifiers are
125 - All are in
133 - Iowa State
141 - Missouri
149 - Cozart
157 - Moreno
165 - All are in
174 - Oklahoma
184 - OSU - McNeil
197 - Ward/Shafer
Hwt - OSU and OU

When you look at that list, it's really impressive. This has turnned into a 4 team conference for now, and when you look around the country at qualifying tourneys, we're doing pretty well. Wow.

Keep in mind to that both Ward and the guy that Oklahoma State pulled out of redshirt after Z got hurt would both have been AQs if not for their circumstances. So even without doing a 'Woulda, coulda shoulda' look at injuries to starters throughout the season, 33 of 40 wrestlers taking the mats next Saturday have legit chances at NCAAs, including all four at 125, 165, and 197. The Big XII is pound for pound the toughest conference around. The only other conference that even comes close is the Big 10.

A seaport on Panama's Caribbean coast, the country's second-largest city offers numerous parks and monuments, as well as the largest duty-free shopping zone in the Americas. Perhaps you'll browse some of the 1,600 showrooms before embarking the Tere Moana here. The ship sets sail this evening.
Today is at leisure to experience the amenities of Tere Moana. Enjoy a massage at the luxurious spa. Take a dip in the pool. Or simply relax in a deck chair and bask in the warm sun as your ship sails toward Colombia.
Enjoy your first port of call on your Caribbean cruise with a stop at Cartagena. A blend of Spanish colonial influences and a tropical Caribbean lifestyle infuses the vibrant local culture of Colombia's fifth-largest city — and most popular travel destination. Cartagena is also one of the loveliest cities in South America, with narrow streets, stately mansions, sprawling plazas, grand monasteries, open-air cafés, and a beautiful seaside setting. Perhaps you'll visit the Ciudad Amurallada—the city's historic walled city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll the Plaza Bolívar. Visit the Convento de la Popa (literally, "Convent of the Stern"), founded in 1607 at the highest point in the city. Take a ride by horse-drawn carriage. Or head instead to one of Cartagena's many beaches. The best-known of these, Playa Blanca, is considered one of the finest beaches in the country.
Enjoy another day to relax aboard Tere Moana. Perhaps you'll watch a movie on the private DVD player in your stateroom. And linger with new friends over an elegant lunch in the ship's La Veranda restaurant.
Come discover why Aruba's slogan is "Where Happiness Lives"! In its glittering, multicultural capital, Oranjestad, you'll find an ideal walking city brimming with shops, Dutch Colonial architecture, a waterfront market, and a 17th-century fort. Aruba is also world-renowned for its international cuisine, and restaurants are plentiful. Windsurfing is especially popular here, and shallow coral formations make this a great destination for diving and snorkeling. Or simply relax on a beach of soft, ivory-colored sands.
Today, you might watch the world go by from the comfort of a Balinese bed on the Sun Deck, or unwind in the whirlpool. Select a good book from our onboard library. And savor gourmet specialties inspired by one of the top chefs of Paris over dinner in L'Etoile.
Located just six miles south of Guadeloupe, this small archipelago of eight gorgeous tropical islands is a world apart with its serene, relaxing ambiance. In Terre-de-Haut, one of just two inhabited islands in the chain, enjoy exceptional snorkeling in the magnificent bay, or take in the view from above at Fort Napoleon. Watch fishermen at work wearing unusual hats found nowhere else. Or explore the village, with its interesting shops and art galleries.
Chic shops are a hallmark of this "Manhattan-sur-Mer" (Manhattan on the Sea"), known for its duty-free shopping. Others include the island's balmy climate and brilliant blue skies, iguanas, and night-blooming cactus. Distinctly French in language, culture, and cuisine, St. Barts remains thoroughly independent in spirit. Enjoy excellent snorkeling and diving from the island's fabulous cove-style beaches.
The smallest island in the world to have been partitioned between two nations (France and the Netherlands), St. Martin/St. Maarten has prospered in peaceful coexistence for nearly 350 years. Disembark Tere Moana on the Dutch side of the island, St. Maarten, after breakfast this morning.

Economic growth is projected to recover in 2016, and reach 2.3% in 2017. The drag from falling energy investment should fade away by early 2016, while non-energy exports lead the subsequent pick-up, with business investment following. As economic slack is taken up through 2016, inflation should increase to above the 2% midpoint of the Bank of Canada's inflation target range in 2017.
Increases in policy rates are assumed in late 2016 and to be gradual thereafter. Further macro-prudential measures should be taken to contain financial stability risks from high household debt and house prices. Reductions in the general government budget deficit are set to decline, reflecting the incoming federal government's pledge to run small deficits to finance infrastructure spending.
Reducing barriers to foreign direct investment in telecommunications, broadcasting and airlines, and continued efforts to increase the quantity and productivity of R&D would raise long-term growth prospects. To make growth more inclusive, targeted needs-based financial assistance to disadvantaged groups for tertiary education should be increased, the aid application process made more transparent and public health coverage of essential pharmaceuticals expanded.
Canada is not on track to meet its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30% relative to the 2005 level by 2030. The federal government has indicated its intention to pursue a collaborative approach with provinces and territories to achieve Canada's climate change objectives. The four largest provinces have adopted, or are in the process of adopting, price instruments – cap and trade or a carbon tax. To reduce abatement costs, the other provinces and territories should follow suit. However, emissions reductions would be less costly if provinces coordinated or the federal government took the lead on a national greenhouse gas abatement policy.

Two residents are appointed on the first of July each year. To be eligible for consideration, applicants must complete an approved ACGME accredited general surgical residency, and are expected to be eligible for examination by the American Board of Surgery. Residents who have successfully completed their training requirements are then able to apply for examination by the American Board of Thoracic Surgery.
Our residents rotate between three services: adult/pediatric cardiac surgery at Rush, thoracic surgery at Rush and cardiac/thoracic surgery at Stroger Cook County Hospital. On each service the cardiothoracic surgery resident serves as the chief resident in charge of the patient care experience, responsible for directing the service and delegating responsibilities for patient care and operative coverage. Interns, PAs, NPs and general surgery residents round out the complement on each of the services.
Residents are expected to communicate clearly and compassionately with families and patients, as well as develop effective working relationships with other health care professionals in a multidisciplinary environment. Often times the personal development and growth is often neglected on busy surgical services and left to attending physicians to manage. This is not the case at Rush, because we believe that effective communication is the key to exceptional outcomes and has a prominent place in our training program.
By the end of their second year of service, residents are expected to function as independent surgeons in all aspects of preoperative assessments, surgical procedures and postoperative care in adult cardiac, and general thoracic surgery including the interpretation and management of hemodynamic parameters, mechanical respiration, and potential complications.
Thoracic Resident Role In Housestaff

For consideration into our program, please apply through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Please note that we no longer accept paper applications as these will be returned without review.
Operated by the Association of American Medical Colleges, the ERAS website is an introduction for those who are unfamiliar with its support services. The website contains contact information and explains general specifics on completing the ERAS application. It also includes information on required fees, application timelines, and use of the "token," an alpha-numeric code utilized for the registration process.
Questions can be e-mailed to email@example.com or contact the Help Desk at (202) 828-0413. The MYERAS website provides information on letters of recommendation, ECFMG Reports, USMLE, and personal goals and statements. A step-by-step guide to the application process application and guidelines, is available for successful submission of your materials. Our office is available for questions. In addition, you may contact Dr. John Calhoon, Secretary of the Thoracic Surgery Directors Association (TSDA), for questions at (210) 698-099 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We also require that you have a minimum of three letters of recommendation, one written from your chairman of the Department of Surgery, a copy of in-service scores, ECFMG certification, when applicable, visa status, and a recent photograph. These items are mandatory for our review and its absence will constitute an incomplete folder. We will only review complete folders for consideration of an interview.
The Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery welcomes prospective applicants to submit application materials through the National Residency Matching Program. After all application materials have been submitted, we will review folders and invite selected cadidates for a series of interviews with the program director and faculty members.
We look forward to receiving your application.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D not rendering entire object http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=65662&th=13719#msg_65662 <![CDATA[so, i'm uploading some files, and one if them isn't rendering properly. it consists of several parts combined into one object, and is being uploaded as an .OBJ file, and in both the still render and the 3D turn-around, it's not rendering the entire thing. it will render some of the parts, but not the others. i've uploaded 7 other objects that are very similar to this one, and they're all rendering fine. i tried re-exporting the .OBJ and re-uploading it, but it's always the same problem. i also tried downloading the .OBJ from the site to check it, and the file is indeed okay. also, if i change the dimensions to inches instead of mm, it renders properly... but it also makes it more than twice as large.

 i mean, so long as it prints properly, it wouldn't be a real problem, since i'm planning on using my render for it, anyways, but i plan to sell it, so i don't want potential buyers to think that my renders are inaccurate and that it actually looks how it's being rendered by Shapeways.]]> TheAntitheticalChiasm 2013-04-07T11:11:27-00:00 Re: not rendering entire object http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=65663&th=13719#msg_65663 <![CDATA[oh, actually, on closer inspection, the others are also having rendering problems... it just wasn't as obvious that they were leaving parts out.]]> TheAntitheticalChiasm 2013-04-07T11:19:28-00:00 Re: not rendering entire object http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=65664&th=13719#msg_65664 <![CDATA[Normally the Shapeways render is what you get - if it doesn't show up there it will not be in the finished print. Therefore I would not order prints until this is sorted.

Quote:

Also, if i change the dimensions to inches instead of mm, it renders properly... but it also makes it more than twice as large.

 Something is not right here - if you change from mm to inches it should be 25.4 times bigger.

 Looking at the items in your shop, I think the problem is one of scale. All of your pendants are TINY

 e.g. Aquarius Pendant

 cm: 0.542 w x 0.312 d x 0.782 h in: 0.213 w x 0.123 d x 0.308 h

 If you are using the same scale for the item you are talking about, then the small scroll details that you are missing are just being ignored by SW.

 If you have already ordered prints of these other items and I am correct about the scale you may want to try and cancel the order.

 Good luck

 i haven't ordered prints on anything, and now i'm wondering if i should make the pendants already in my store unavailable to sell until this is sorted out... i think it's a problem on Shapeways end of things.]]> TheAntitheticalChiasm 2013-04-07T11:32:06-00:00 Re: not rendering entire object http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=65666&th=13719#msg_65666 <![CDATA[see, this is why i'm confused.

 in the program i'm using, if i have it set to inches, the pendant is about 2 inches wide.... why is it not maintaining those dimensions on Shapeways?? if i upload it with mm, it's really tiny, and if i upload it with inches, it makes it like 5 inches wide.]]> TheAntitheticalChiasm 2013-04-07T11:48:30-00:00 Re: not rendering entire object http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=65667&th=13719#msg_65667 <![CDATA[when i upload the file and chose inches.... see?? it's more than twice as big as it should be...

 i don't... understand.....]]> TheAntitheticalChiasm 2013-04-07T11:55:05-00:00 Re: not rendering entire object http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=65669&th=13719#msg_65669 <![CDATA[I cannot help you specifically since I am clueless in Maya.

 Is it possible you can open your export file in another program, e.g. netfabb basic or Meshlab, and check the dimensions there? Then you will know if you have your model/software set up ok. Then you can follow up with SW if it is fine your end. ]]> AmLachDesigns 2013-04-07T12:12:19-00:00 Re: not rendering entire object http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=65670&th=13719#msg_65670 <![CDATA[i don't have any other 3D programs, nor do i know how to use anything other than Maya. right now, i'm just arbitrarily rescaling them in Maya and then uploading them to see if they're the size they should be. ]]> TheAntitheticalChiasm 2013-04-07T12:19:59-00:00

Medicaid Expansion
A Huge Opportunity for Pennsylvania Families, Businesses & Hospitals
Taking advantage of this unparalleled opportunity would allow Pennsylvania to bring health coverage to 500,000 -- 700,000 residents, lowering our uninsured rate by over 50%.
The federal government will pay the majority of the costs. From 2014 -- 2017 the federal government will reimburse states 100% of the costs of coverage; after that the reimbursement rate will slowly go down until it steadies out at 90%. This will bring an additional $43.3 billion in federal funding into Pennsylvania's budget between 2013 -- 2022.
Pennsylvania's state spending on the Medicaid program would only see a modest increase of 1.4% ($250 million per year) between 2013 -- 2022. The significant savings and revenue generated from accepting this opportunity will greatly outweigh the costs.
Read our special report "Making the Right Choice for Pennsylvania: Seizing the Opportunity in the Medicaid Expansion" to learn more about the benefits of extending coverage.

An Android Tablet with Split Personalities
Published on: 9th Feb 2014
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
A US security firm has developed an Android tablet that splits work and personal usage by having two totally separated hardware based operating systems.
Operating code in one (including any malware) cannot access the other. One OS is called the "WorkZone," the other the "PlayZone," recognizing that tablets are increasingly used for both enterprise and personal activity.
The two OS's do not share resources that could possibly cause cross-contamination, distinguishing the technology from methods such as sandbox/containerization, virtualization, profile separation.
The company, InZero Systems says that it developed the product to address the BYOD market, while also offering a level of security for the company data that is required by IT managers.
Each Zone can be managed autonomously and contain separate Android security applications, as desired. Switching between Zones takes a few seconds by touching a switch icon. The Tablet also embodies additional security features such as AES256 encryption and a secure boot.
Lou Hughes, Chairman of InZero, who formerly served as President of General Motors International, President of Lockheed Martin and U.S. State Department Chief of Staff for Afghanistan Reconstruction, noted, "We think the WorkPlay Technology keeps important data out of harm's way by making sure that it can't be corrupted through casual or careless use of the device, and that makes the administrator's job much easier. Personally, I use one Zone just for online transactions, and the other for everything else."
The WorkPlay Technology can be adapted to mobile devices using CPUs with Trustzone technology.

Letters: GOP's future
There has been much talk these last two days about what the Republican Party needs to do to regain relevancy. I figured this out quite some time ago. For decades (literally) the Republican Party has presented candidates who are quite simply unacceptable to the majority of California voters. The only Republican candidates who win general elections in California (other than Arnold Schwarzenegger) have been those running in "safe" (gerrymandered) districts. Many voters have had to hold their nose while voting for the Democratic candidate and could have accepted voting for more fiscally conservative choices. But the fact that Republican aspirants continue to expound so-called biblical values and the issues that accompany that mentality, they will remain unpalatable to a majority of voters.
Most voters don't want a politician deciding matters of personal choice. One case in point: Dan Lungren vs. Gray Davis in 1998. Lungren ran as the Republican candidate for governor against Democratic Lieutenant Governor Gray Davis. I personally perceived Davis to be a despicably slimy politician. But Lungren was such a reactionary, unacceptable alternative that the lesser-of-two evils choice was the only viable option. Davis won, only to be recalled by the Republicans because they didn't like the results of the election. More recently the Republicans ran Meg Whitman. All she had to offer was "I'll run the state like a business" which was laughable plus all that 'value' voters nonsense. All we could do was go with the less objectionable Jerry Brown.
I've had to wonder why smart Republicans haven't abandoned that sinking ship for the Libertarian Party. Yes, it's bit "out there" on some issues but fiscally it seems to be quite in line with Republican monetary ideas. As long as Republican candidates have to lug that 'righteous dogma' baggage during their campaigns, they will continue to fail at the polls. Wise up, give voters a palatable option. – R.A. (Rick) Munoz, San Diego
There's been much to-do about the Republicans not being responsive to the voting strength of Hispanics, their importance for inclusion in the Republican voting drives and so on. This is crazy for one simple reason: every year the Census Bureau makes estimates of ethnic influence in the population and it is there for all to see if they want to look at it. Several books have been written about this "phenomena" in the past decade or two and shows Hispanic strength. You don't need to wait for 10-year census studies, particularly if you're a congressman.
In retrospect I personally thought Marco Rubio would be an excellent choice but not just because he's Hispanic. He's got a lot of things going for him: he's young, he's charismatic (extremely important in close elections), very intelligent and articulate, and has a good record while he's been in the Senate. In a recent Wall Street Journal poll of blacks voting preference, 100 percent (that's right, ALL of them) would vote for Obama. Any votes for Romney would be piecemeal at best. The Republicans should direct their efforts elsewhere, obviously. and the Hispanics is where it's at – period. And, lastly, they'd better get the white vote out in 2016 and they might have taken this group for granted this time. Bad mistake. Not going hot and heavy for the Hispanic vote with inclusion efforts this time and in 2016, bad mistake.
We need adults at the helm these days, not incompetents like President Obama and Harry Reid, and we've got to use our heads in pulling it off. We have already fallen off the cliff of hope and change. – Charles Hartman, San Marcos
It is incredible how open-borders pundits from the far right to the far left are attributing Romney's defeat in large part to his moderate, highly principled stand on illegal immigration: enforce existing laws, make E-Verify mandatory, and rely on attrition through enforcement.

How to Condition Curly Hair
Two Methods:ConditioningDeep ConditioningCommunity Q&A
Taking care of your curly hair can be a challenge if you don't know what products and tools work best for your hair type. A good conditioner and homemade remedies can be essential for curly hair.
Method 1
1Select a conditioner or natural oil. Most curly hair benefits from moisturizing conditioner for dry or damaged hair. Larger curls that clump into ringlets benefit from a light moisturizer or oil, while coils or kinks benefit from a heavy, creamy moisturizer that provides excellent protection. Alternatively, select a natural oil instead:
- Jojoba oil is an extra-light oil that feels less greasy than other options.
- Coconut oil is excellent at penetrating hair to restore strength.
- Olive oil or grapeseed oil. These are medium-thickness oils. Olive oil has a strong scent that not everyone enjoys.
- Castor oil may help restore thinning hair, although this doesn't always work. Because it is extra-thick and heavy, try cutting it with coconut or grapeseed oil.
- Optionally, warm the oil by placing the jar in a bowl of hot water. This improves its ability to penetrate your hair.
2Apply conditioner and untangle gently. Distribute conditioner or oil throughout your wet hair. Use your hands or a wide-toothed comb to gently detangle your hair and distribute the conditioner. Start by untangling bottom sections of your hair, then gradually move upwards.
- Never scrub your scalp with conditioner! It can clog your pores, damaging your hair and weighing it down.
- If using oil, start with about 1 oz (30mL). Increase if necessary for full coverage.
3Let sit in your hair. Let the conditioner or oil sit in your hair for at least five minutes. This gives your hair time to absorb some of the oil. For a greater effect, leave it in for 15–20 minutes instead.
4Rinse your hair. Rinse your hair with running water. Cool water will help seal your hair cuticles, reducing frizz and locking in the oils.
5Apply leave-in products or hair masks (optional). Once the regular conditioner or oil is removed, consider additional products for protection.
- A leave-in conditioner is easy to apply and requires no removal.
- A leave-in cream or conditioner nourishes your hair while holding styles in place.
- For stronger protection, apply a hair mask over the ends of your hair. Use the hair mask once a week in place of deep conditioning, or more frequently for easily damaged hair. Try masks intended for curly hair, or for making hair softer.
Method 2
Deep Conditioning
1Select a deep conditioner. Deep conditioner helps tame extra-curly or frizzy hair. Deep moisturizing will also treat dry or damaged hair, which often occurs with curls.
- If your hair is healthy and relatively shiny on its own, consider the oil treatment described below instead.
2Apply about once a week. Deep conditioners take some time to apply, and can leave your hair feeling greasy. They're best applied about once a week, or whenever your hair feels dry.
- It's especially important to deep condition after swimming in a chlorinated pool.
3Wash your hair. Wash hair as usual, applying shampoo in a downward motion to prevent tangling. Rinse out thoroughly.
4Section your hair. If you have long hair, divide it into 6–8 sections for more convenient handling. Detangle your hair if necessary, but be gentle as wet hair is more vulnerable to damage.
5Rub in conditioner. Squeeze out a dab of conditioner about the size of a large coin (such as a quarter). Rub this into the ends and middle of your wet hair, evenly distributing it across all sections.
- You may apply near the roots if they are damaged, but take care to avoid the scalp.
- If your hair feels exceptionally greasy, gently blot out the surface oils with a towel.
6Apply heat (optional). Heat will open up the cuticles of your hair, allowing the condition to penetrate more deeply. Wet three or four hand towels with cold water, wring them out, and microwave until hot, about 1–2 minutes. Wrap around your head and leave on for 5–10 minutes. Microwave the towels again if they get cold before the time is up.
- Alternatively, put on a plastic cap and sit under a hooded dryer for 20–30 minutes.
7Rinse hair. Rinse your hair thoroughly to remove the conditioner.
8Apply additional products or style. If you plan to use any of these treatments, apply them now:
- Apply leave-in conditioner or styling cream to keep your hair protected and shiny.
- Detangle if necessary. Use a gentle approach to avoid damaging hair.
- Large hair rollers can encourage a more uniform wave. This will also make your hair softer and more manageable.
9Let air dry. Avoid blow dryers, which can cause further damage to your hair. If you normally rely on blow drying to help style your hair, try other methods to curl or straighten your hair. Keep in mind that any method involving heat can cause damage.
- If you use a curling iron, look for a thick one 1–1.5" (2.5–3.75cm) in diameter. Set it to the lowest heat setting.
Community Q&A
Are these methods both safe to do? If so, what's the best?
Do we use these methods after washing curly hair?
If I just rinse with water after applying the oil, won't my hair remain oily?
- Sulfates (such as ammonium laureth sulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate) are found in most shampoos and can be drying and damaging to curly hair. Consider not shampooing and washing with only conditioner ("co-washing"), which are popular techniques among many African-American women.
- Trim the hair as needed (depending on how fast your hair grows, but every two to four months could be a good starting point) to get rid of split and dry ends. Ask your hair stylist not to use a razor as it will leave your ends ratty.
- Consider a protective hair style such as braids or twists. These can be left in for a month or two, reducing damage from exposure. Do not leave in the style for longer than two months, or it may cause severe matting.
- Curly hair has different needs during different seasons. In the summer, use more liquid products and/or reduce the amount of leave-in products, to prevent frizzing and increase definition. In winter, switch to heavier, creamer products and use more conditioner to combat dry, wintry air.
- If you are using essential oils, dilute them first with a thinner oil (not water) before using them on any part of your body - whether hair or skin.
- Avoid combing/touching curly hair. It has a mind of its own. Let it stand like it wants to. Curly hair is more sensitive to touch, so treat it gently like a flower.
- Sun can damage hair. Look for a conditioner that includes sunscreen, or wear a wide-brimmed hat or scarf when in bright sun.
- Do NOT use any heat tools or hot water on curly hair. Wash curly hair with room temperature water (yes, in winter too, if you can). Heat makes the hair cuticle to remain open, thus losing moisture and making the hair very dry and frizzy.
