Great and gentle!
By Rohan
from Undisclosed
Comments about Hair & Body Shampoo - 14.5 oz:
As fantastic as PC's products are, I unfortunately can't use many of them due to my sensitivity to silicones. But this product is great. The simple formula is fragrance and silicone free, lathers decently and even conditions well so I don't need to follow up a silicone laden conditioner! Love the big size too. Lasts ages. Don't discontinue this :)

Awesome! Must try yourself!
By Indira M.
I ordered two samples just to try it out. What a surprise!? My hair looks awesome...Full, soft and easy to style! I've spent a lot of money on very expensive shampoos. Never again!!! Just placed my order for a full size. Thank you, Paula!

Quality Stuff
By Meg M.
This shampoo/body wash is truly nice. It makes my hair shiny and soft, and even in the Northeast winter climate, my scalp isn't itchy or irritated. As someone with acne-prone, eczema-prone skin, this proves to be a non-irritating body wash. I do follow with a body lotion in the winter, but this wash is moisturizing enough that in the summer I could probably go without. It's a little pricey so I now opt for a drug store body wash, but it's great for travel. Overall worth the money!!

I love this shampoo.
By Lori L.
I can't wait to wash my hair. It smells so clean and rinses well. It leaves my hair fluffy and soft. I also use it as a body wash and am happy with the results. I color my hair and do partial highlights. I'm over fifty and this shampoo is very good to my mane. My only suggestion would be to sell it in a larger size bottle as a refill. I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. Give it a try.

Very Nice Shampoo
By Kristy M.
Lathers well, fragrance-free of course, and does a stellar job at cleaning my hair and scalp. I have no complaints about this product and will probably continue to use it for a long time.

Didn't help with my KP
By Sasha
I am currently at war with my keratosis pilaris, and I hoped that a $16 body wash could help me win it. Alas, it just didn't. Yes, it's a nice body wash, I love that it is non-scented, it foams well etc., but I can't see any difference after almost three weeks of using it on a KP-affected zone, while on the other zone, where I use 10% AHA by Paula's Choice, the progress is quite visible. As a shampoo, it did no wonders either. Just a regular non-scented shampoo.
best bodywash ever.
By nY
This has been the best bodywash ever. I didn't think I'd find anything more moisturizing than the Aveeno washes but this All Over Hair and Body Shampoo lathers more but milder bubble, a little goes way more, and it's so moiturizing.

Not pleased with an ingredient
By Vera M.
I haven't actually used any of the samples but I was reading the ingredients and it contains sodium Lauretta sulfate. I am really surprised at this. That is a harsh chemical that were all trying to exclude from any of our beauty products.
Customer Service Response: Hello, and thanks for your comments! This is likely the result of a common confusion of two very similarly-named ingredients. Sodium laureth sulfate is a cleansing agent that is considered gentle and effective, while sodium lauryl sulfate can be very irritating. We hope this clears up any confusion!

Wonderful stuff
By Carol A
I love the idea of a body wash with shampoo and conditioner combined. I've waited a long time for this product but haven' yet used it. With the little sample I ordered, actually be enough for what it's supposed to do? Gee, I hope so. I have older skin which is just started to show it's age and I don't like what I see.

My Favourite Shampoo
By Nancy P.
Why only 4 stars if this shampoo is my favourite? Because of the way it comes out of out of the bottle --way too much, way too fast. Other than that, I love this product. It's great for my colour-treated hair. It is a tad pricey -- but completely worth it when compared to salon brands.
Allergic to Everything Else
By M J K.
I have developed allergic reactions to every "sensitive" skin body wash out there. My skin is so sensitive that the reaction would be redness and many times a break out in the hives. I was so relieved when I found this body wash. It is gentle just as advertised. It cleans my hair and my body. I'm grateful that Paula's Choice came up with this product. It works great for me!
Suprisingly I like it as a shampoo.
By LESLIE B.
While I would prefer a few more conditioning agents, this shampoo lathers quickly and rinses cleanly. My regular conditioner soaks in quickly because this shampoo rinses rather easily. I have to learn to use less because it works easily. I just wish PC still had the last conditioner that I finally samples after saving my packets for a year. That conditioner detangled INSTANTLY and rinsed cleanly off the the skin.

Allergy to ingredients
By Jennifer S.
I have very sensitive skin. After using this shampoo a few times, my scalp started itching badly, flaking, and my hair was falling out at an accelerated rate. I had this happen with one other shampoo and now I'm trying to isolate which ingredient I am allergic to. Switched to an organic shampoo and my hair was all better.Two stars because it did leave my hair soft, despite the scalp issues, and clear up my bacne. One of the ingredients just disagrees with my sensitive skin.
Works great as a body wash for Keratosis Pilaris
By Marcia L.
My 7 year old daughter developed KP when she was 5. I have tried just about everything out there, from Dove sensitive body wash to Cetaphil body wash. From the moment I used Paula's Choice All Over Hair & Body Shampoo, I noticed a significant improvement in my daughter's texture and overall appearance of her skin. This product really works great for KP on the skin and I will definitely use it again. Thank You!

Avoid if you have a sensitive scalp
By Cecilia M.
I noted that this is recommended for sensitive skin, but it gave me oozing sores on my scalp. I thought the SLES might be better than SLS, but I had the same reaction that I do to products containing SLS. If you are in doubt, avoid this product.
Customer Service Response: Thanks for your review! Sodium laureth sulfate is not known to cause this type of reaction (or any negative reaction at all) for most people, and we're sorry you experienced it. Please contact us so we may assist you with a refund.

Good product, bad packaging
By Cheryl B.
I use this as both body wash and shampoo and have written positive reviews in the past. But the redesigned bottle is just bad. The top is convex, not flat, so it won't stand on it's end. It's a bit narrow and wobbly on the shower shelf, even upright. When the bottle gets low, you have to sort of prop it in a corner upside down to easily dispense all the product. I keep emptying them into the last of my pump bottles from the old design. Please redesign the packaging or offer a pump option.
Customer Service Response: Thanks for your review! We have heard the packaging complaints loud and clear and are sourcing a new bottle for this product and its companion conditioner. No word yet on when this will be changing, but know that a change is coming!
Part of my daily skin care routine
By Rebecca A.
I consider this product a vital part of my skin care routine. It just leaves my skin so soft! I've always had really sensitive skin, and this body wash never irritates, it just cleanses gently. I tried this as a shampoo when I first got it, but the results weren't great. Fact is, it's so awesome as a body wash that I really don't care to use it as anything else.This product also helped with clearing away the keratosis pilaris on my back and shoulders. No more pore-clogging soaps for me!
Just Shampoo
By Anonymous
This contains SLS and protein. I'm surprised PC doesn't have a protein-free option. Protein CAN strengthen hair, but if you're like me, it makes your hair dry and straw-like. I think PC should come up with a SLS free option for those of us trying to wash less who don't want stripping. I tried this shampoo thinking it might be more mild than other SLS shampoos, but it didn't seem to be. Didn't get to use the whole bottle because of protein overload.
Customer Service Response: Thanks for your review! Just to be clear, this hair and body shampoo does not contain SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate). Rather, it contains its milder "cousin", SLES (sodium laureth sulfate). We suspect this formula wasn't moisturizing enough for your hair, as its protein content isn't high enough to cause buildup that would ever lead to straw-like hair.
Love it!
By Heidi M.
I love this product. I thought I might miss using a product that was scented, but I don't at all. I love that it makes my scalp feel clean and not dried out at all. It does come out quickly, so I have learned to give it a light squeeze! I love it as a body wash - it does not dry out my skin and I feel really clean and fresh.
Very drying
By Kate
I hate to write a negative review but I feel that I must because I am quite disappointed with this product. I have been using it for about 2 weeks and it dries my hair out... A LOT... I have never had issues with dry hair before - it's only been since using this product. My hair feels like straw. I hardly ever use heat on my hair either... 90% of the time I let my hair air dry and still, it is extremely dry. I also make sure to concentrate the product on my roots and not the ends - still dry. :(
A little runny
I have only used this product a few times but the first thing I noticed was that it is quite runny. This makes it very difficult to control when I am trying to dispense some into my hand and I end up with more product than I intended on having. Therefore I feel like I am wasting product. My second complaint is that I find it lathers great for a few seconds but then the lather goes away and I end up having to use more to achieve the lather I want.
By TRACY
I absolutely love this product and so does my boyfriend, I just wish the packaging was a little more unisex looking as he feels like he's using women's products and is reluctant to display it in his bathroom. I'm a loyal fan though.
Wish there was a bigger bottle!
By Mae
I like this shampoo A LOT but unfortunately it is too expensive for me. With my thick and long hair I went through this shampoo very quickly and I can't be constantly re-ordering this shampoo or spending that much money on shampoo.
Missing the old formula...
By KATHLEEN R.
I'm torn between giving this 3 and 4 stars. While I think this is a nice formulation and cleans very well, the old one was far superior in my opinion. I noticed it right away when I tried the new one a while ago now. This one isn't quite as luxurious and silky feeling. There was nothing like the old one. I miss it. Please bring it back! Can you offer both?
Customer Service Response: Hi Kathleen! Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback! We made the change in response to overwhelming customer requests for a lighter, faster rinsing formula, which we know can leave some who loved the previous formula a bit dissapointed. The previous formula no longer exists (which means we can't bring it back), but we'll share your comments with the team for consideration!
Great Shampoo for Sensitive Scalps
By KAREN D.
My husband and I use this gentle shampoo regularly. It has zero dyes and fragrances and leaves the scalp and hair nice and clean. We have tried many other shampoos that did not work as well or left a residue on our hair. Great product!

Seattle CB Brandon Browner suspended 4 games
Posted at: 12/05/2012 7:35 PM
By TIM BOOTH
(AP) RENTON, Wash. - The Seattle Seahawks are about to find out how much losing at least one of their top cornerbacks means to their defense.
Brandon Browner has dropped the appeal of his suspension for using performance-enhancing substances and will miss the final four games of the regular season, the league announced Wednesday.
Browner's loss leaves the Seahawks without a Pro Bowl cornerback whose size and physical play has flustered wide receivers for much of the past two seasons. Walter Thurmond, who was a starter for a short time during the 2011 season before suffering a leg injury, will take Browner's spot.
Browner will be eligible to rejoin the team on Dec. 31 and will be able to play in the postseason should the Seahawks make the playoffs.
"I've thought all along that we are very fortunate to have Walter with some background that has started for us in the past," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "He's an excellent athlete. He played very well for us this last week and he'll step right up into that mode."
News broke after Seattle's loss at Miami on Nov. 25 that Browner and fellow starting cornerback Richard Sherman were facing suspensions after testing positive for PEDs.
A day later, Browner's agent, Peter Schaffer, said his client had no knowledge of how any banned substance got into his system, but he did not provide specifics on when an appeal might take place.
Messages left for Schaffer on Wednesday were not immediately returned. Sherman is going forward with his appeal and he can play while that is under way.
"I'm still not commenting about it, but I'm disappointed when we lose anybody by injury or whatever. These guys work so hard to be here and all of that and you come to rely on guys, and when you lose guys it's always disappointing," Carroll said. "But really where the focus goes for us is right to the guys who are stepping up."
Browner has 44 tackles, three interceptions and six passes defensed this season. He is in his second season with the Seahawks after getting pulled from the Canadian Football League because he fit the mold of what Carroll wants: big, physical cornerbacks who can play man coverage.
He was voted as a Pro Bowl alternate in his first NFL season, and ended up playing in the game. Last season he had 54 tackles and six interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns.
Browner is the fourth Seahawks player to be suspended for a PED violation in the past calendar year, joining John Moffitt, Allen Barbre and Winston Guy.
"I've been disappointed about the whole situation, that it is something that he had to deal with it and we had to deal with it, but there is nothing we can do at this point," Carroll said.
Thurmond has played in just one game in the past 13 months, that coming last week in Chicago when he took over as Seattle's defensive back in nickel situations with veteran Marcus Trufant out with a hamstring injury. Thurmond played in six games and started three during the 2011 season before suffering a broken ankle at Cleveland.
Thurmond's injury opened up a chance of Sherman, who has developed into one of the best cover cornerbacks in football.
"It felt like I hadn't missed a step from where I was last year. I'm just trying to make progress and get better," Thurmond said. "It's really just being patient, just getting back to my technique and my form of where I was last year and continuing to get better each week."
With the Seahawks still unsure whether Trufant will be back this week, rookie Jeremy Lane will get the first chance at being the Seahawks' nickel cornerback.
Lane, a sixth-round pick out of Northwestern State in Louisiana, has yet to play a down on defense this year, but he has been a standout on special teams, especially in punt coverage. Behind Lane is second-year cornerback Byron Maxwell.
"We have some concern about it, but I also know we have forced them to compete with our best guys throughout the time and we're always anticipating with the younger guys that they are going to have to play, so they're ready to go," Carroll said. "They are as ready as they can be."
Carroll also announced that wide receiver Sidney Rice has cleared all concussion tests and is expected to play against Arizona. Rice took a shot from Major Wright on the game-winning touchdown in overtime in Chicago last Sunday.
Defensive end Red Bryant played against Chicago despite a foot injury and is expected to be able play versus Arizona. Carroll was also hopeful about linebacker Leroy Hill, who missed the Bears game with an ankle injury and was replaced by Malcolm Smith.

The Medical Lake Alternative School could receive a new name in the coming months, following a discussion at the Aug. 28 meeting of the Medical Lake school board.
Principal Trish Smith said students from last year went through a number of potential names for the school, coming up with Lakeview and Lakes. The school board heard the different suggestions from last year's students, while suggesting the school could bear the name of a former district employee with a strong connection to alternative education.
The name change would require new letterheads and materia...

Mary Virginia Merrick was born to upper-class Maryland family.
Merrick and her friends formed Christ Child Society in Washington, D.C. Early work included providing layettes, sending city children to camp, and forming alliances with other community organizations, all of which were later echoed by the Center in St. Paul.
Mr. and Mrs. HT Quinlan traveled from St. Paul to Washington D.C. on business. While there, Mrs. Quinlan met Ms. Merrick and was so inspired, returned to St. Paul fired up with the intention of inaugurating similar work. She imparted her enthusiasm to a group of friends and organized the St. Paul Chapter of the Christ Child Society.
The Italian Society purchased the Hope Chapel, located just off lower Payne Avenue, and invited the Christ Child Society to operate it as a community center.
The Christ Child opened its doors in the Hope Chapel.
The Hope Chapel was destroyed by a fire, but immediately rebuilt on the same site.
The Merrick Community Center, named in honor of the founder of the Christ Child Society, was built with funds from St. Paul's Community Chest Youth Campaign, the precursor to what we know as the Greater Twin Cities United Way.

It was said to have been the most anticipated Fashion Show this season, and Nicolas Ghesquière's Louis Vuitton Fall 2014 collection debut lived up to the hype and then some. When you think of the Louis Vuitton brand, footwear may not be the first thing that comes to mind, and while LV has tried to get rid of these assumptions in the past, this Fall 2014 collection proves that Vuitton should definitely be considered when buying luxury footwear.
According to Vogue, Ghesquière felt that the collection "express[es] an easiness" of modern dressing, and the footwear exemplifies just this. This collection featured all boots and booties with curved heels, some of which were adorned with belt-like straps around the ankle. These runway shoes definitely set the tone for what's to come from Louis Vuitton.

Welcome to the GR Moms group! Feel free to introduce yourself on this message or in a new one.
This group is for Grand Rapids, MI, moms or moms-to-be to connect and discuss topids related to the GR area.
Hi, My name is Cindy. I live in Eastown. I have one DS, Caleb, who is 10wks tomorrow. We TTCed for 3 years and had one MC before Caleb made his appearance. My DH is Dustin and I have 2 dogs, a papillon and a pitbull/lab. I have worked as a manager for Barnes and Noble in Rivertown but am stepping down after the holiday to stay home part-time. Caleb is a wonderful baby and a joy for my husband and I. He is a bit of a fusser though and that can be frustrating. I just started eliminating dairy from my diet to see if it makes a diff ( I EBF). I go to a breastfeeding group at Baby Beloved everyother Tues 930-1030. There is one tomorrow. I also go to From the Heart Yoga. Those are my 2 activities other than hanging out at home with Caleb.

Hi, I'm Liana. I live near Richmond Park on the NW side of town. My son, Aidan, will be 7 in a couple weeks and my daughter, Marcella, is 9 months. My husband, Patrick, is a chef and I stay home with the baby. I am relatively new to babycenter--haven't really partcipated in anything until now. I'm not up on all the lingo and abbreviations. Forgive me if I don't know what you're talking about sometimes. My current frustration is a teething baby. She is miserable. She's cutting all 4 top teeth right now. Poor thing. She is also a terrible sleeper--and has been pretty much from birth. I don't get any free time away from the kids at all it seems. Honestly, I could use a break. The hubby gets stressed out too easily with her. (Welcome to my world!) I love my family and I know that they are only little for a short time and I have to take the good with the bad. Can anyone relate? I know I can't be the only one feeling this way.
Welcome Liana! I totally understand about your hubby (usually abbreviated DH for Dear or Darling Husband) getting too stressed with the baby. I have a 5 month old and my DH is working really hard to realize she can't express herself like we can and to be patient with her. She has also been teething for a month or so. Her first tooth just peeked thru last week. She has a horrible cold right now and I have not slept for a week because of it.

Hi Everyone!
I'm Stephanie and I grew up in Grandville but now call Hamilton home. I'm 28 and married to DH for 15 months and we've been together for 5 years. We have 1 DD Karly together, she'll be 5 months on the 10th. I have a 10yr old DD Katie who is my biggest helper and my best friend!
I worked for a large ophthalmology practice in GR for almost 7 years but decided not to go back after Karly was born. I have been a photographer for almost 5 years and ran my business part time while I worked for the eye doctors. I am now a SAHM and run my photography business full time.
I am hoping to make new friends from around the area and possibly find a playgroup to join.
Welcome Stephanie!

Hi there! My name is Aimee, and I am a part-time GR mom :) Kind of a confusing story, so I will try to make it short! I am originally from GR, then 5 years ago when I was almost 23, I randomly joined the Navy! I spent 3 years in Hawaii, where I met DH. We married in Sep '05, and I was pregnant 3 months later. Aiden was born 8/29/06 and spent his first year in onsies :) After that, I was sent to Virginia and gave DH and DS their first taste of cold... although it only snowed for 2 days there! In March, we bought our first home in East Lansing after DH was accepted to MSU for his MBA, and we realized that it would be ALOT cheaper to buy a forclosure! We bought it without seeing it, but knew it would need a ton of work, which turned out to be an understatement! My parents spent a lot of the summer gutting it and getting the walls and floors, and DH moved up August 4th to start school. I took 30 days vacation Oct 1st and moved to my parents house in GR... I was 36 weeks pregnant and wanted to deliver at Spectrum. Connor was born 10/28! The house still needs electrical work in the kitchen before I will move there with the kiddos, so me and the LOs live at my parents still, and make the drive to Lansing for a day or two each week to see DH and get our 2yo used to the "new house" (I think he may always call it that!).
I am on maternity leave now, but I get out of the military officially on December 8th (pregnancy timing worked out perfectly... maternitiy leave ends on the 10th!). I am going to be able to stay home with the boys while going to college online at Lansing Community College, which will be such a nice change from military life!

Three Greenwood residents were arrested Monday, January 20, 2014, for human trafficking after a woman claimed she was brought to Indiana in an arranged marriage, was beaten, sexually assaulted, and forced into servitude the Indianapolis Star reports.
Johnson County Prosecutor Bradley Cooper charged these three men in association with these claims. Gurdeep Singh Dhaliwal, 29, was charged with human trafficking, while his brother Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal, 31; and mother, Amarjit Dhaliwal, 65; were charged with aiding human trafficking. Gurdeep is claimed to have kept his wife as a prisoner in their home in the 2800 block of Treehouse Pass.
"It's akin to human slavery and it will not be tolerated," Cooper said.
The crimes are class B felonies, carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if convicted. All three suspects posted bond of $50,000 and were freed Tuesday from Johnson County Jail.
This investigation began in August after a concerned citizen, Keri Sanders, called 911 reporting that the woman, her sister, and sister's 21-month-old son were being confined in the family's home in a closet. The woman's sister is married to Kuldeep.
The victim reported to police on Oct. 22 that she arrived in the U.S. and married Gurdeep in September 2012. She claimed that the abuse began on their wedding night when he slapped and raped her.
The woman told police that she was repeatedly beaten, forced to have sexual intercourse, forced to perform household chores, and was not allowed to leave the home without an escort.
The women told police they were scared of their husbands and were beaten regularly, once of these incidents resulting in a perforated eardrum. Upon the arrest of the three, the women and child were safely placed with a friend.

Heating healthy is important for a healthy lifestyle. Consuming clean foods is an added benefit. Knowing what foods can provide your system a naturally detoxification process without having to medicate yourself is the best way to remain healthy and in control of your system.
Eating these types of foods can also help you lose some of that excess weight you have been struggling to lose.
Natural detoxification can be obtained by eating these clean and cleansing foods:
- Artichokes
- Avocado
- Beets
- Broccoli
- Collard greens
- Dill
- Fennel
- Green tea
- Lemon
- Onion
- Garlic
- Yogurt
Benefits of these foods once they are consumed:
Artichokes contain an antioxidant compound called caffeoylquinic acid. This compound is usual to the treatment of hepatic disorders which affects the liver. When this compound is introduced it affects the flow of bile in the body. Bile is the substance that aids the body to digest fats and helps eliminate the body of inflammatory substances that are usually found in fatty foods.
Avocados provide the body with glutathione and heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. This compound helps block the absorption of fats through the intestines that can cause oxidative damage while cleaning the path of the liver.
Beets contain plant pigments called betalains that provide anti-inflammatory as well as fungicidal properties to the body. This compound is also the reason beets get their dark red coloring. The betalains aid the liver through repair and regeneration as well as promote cell structure.
Broccoli is known for its antioxidant properties. Consuming this cruciferous vegetable it helps reduce the risk of some cancers. Other cruciferous vegetables that are just as beneficial to the body as broccoli are Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage and kale.
Collard greens help maintain or lower LDL "bad" cholesterol levels. These greens increase the body's bile acid binding mechanism which binds lipid molecules and excretes any leftover bile acids from the body's gastrointestinal tract "GI".
Dill is good for you since it contains a rich source of vitamins and anti-inflammatory chemicals. Those chemicals aid with the activation of glutathione which is a liver antioxidant that attaches to the free radical molecules in the body and disarms them.
Fennel is a good source of vitamin C. It also contains antioxidants and antimicrobial properties, is high in fiber, a great cleaning food and very low in calories.
Green tea has the most antioxidants than any other type of tea. Drinking green tea acts in two ways and contains caffeine. It is energizing and also acts as a natural diuretic which helps alleviate bloating caused by water retention.
Lemon is a super source of vitamin C and contains a bounty of antioxidants.
Onion and garlic contain flavonoids that stimulate the production of the liver antioxidant glutathione. These two vegetables have a powerful way to help boost immune systems and contain anti-bacterial properties regardless of their pungent odor and flavors.
Yogurt fortifies the GI tract naturally with probiotics from the healthy bacteria it contains. This increases the flora in the gastrointestinal tract, provides a natural boost the immune system and helps with digestion.
Eat healthy and cleanse naturally – clean foods for a clean system!

A helicopter that appeared in the James Bond film "Goldfinger" will be part of the 2014 Goodwood Revival historic motor racing event. The announcement was made via press release on Wednesday, August 20, from the Goodwood Estate located near Chichester, England.
According to Goodwood, the helicopter made famous by the character "Pussy Galore" in the 1964 James Bond feature film, "Goldfinger," will be a central feature of the Freddie March Spirit of Aviation exhibition at this year's Revival.
The flying machine, officially known as the Hiller UH-12E4 is the one flown by actress Honor Blackman in her portrayal of Galone taking Goldfinger's atomic bomb to Fort Knox in the film's finale. The previous year, the chopper was also used by Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in the Oscar-winning film, "The VIPs."
In addition to historic racing cars, the Goodwood Revival also showcases vintage aircraft. Besides the "Goldfinger" helicopter, there will be as many as 30 other flying machines on display at the Freddie March Spirit of Aviation exhibition. These include: a 1948 Tempco 'Globe Swift' GC-1B whose previous owner's father was taught to fly at 14 years old by aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright and had the latter's signature on his license.
The heavy metal band Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson will bring his Fokker DR1 triplane, the same kind of machine used by German World War 1 hero Manfred von Richthofen, also known as The Red Baron. The largest machine this year will be a Douglas C47A Dakota.
Two very rare Austers will be on-site -- a '5' that was used in the D-Day landings of 1944 and a J1, which completes the line-up of the Leicestershire-built machines.
Beechcraft's presence will be marked by a pair of twin-engined aircraft, an E18S and a BE-50 Twin Bonanza, while de Havilland, Cessna, Percival, Piper and others will also be represented at the Revival.
Commenting on this year's exhibition, Rob Wildeboer, Goodwood Aviation General Manager, said: "Every year we gather an amazing selection of aircraft together for the Freddie March Spirit of Aviation exhibition, but this year's is truly the most impressive to date. We have famous aircraft and some extreme rarities that will appeal to both the true aviation enthusiast and those looking to get up-close to something pretty special."
The Goodwood Revival takes place September 12-14 on the grounds of the Goodwood country estate in England. Ranked as one of the premiere historic/vintage motor racing events of the year, the sell-out event attracts 150,000 spectators over the weekend.
For more information, see the Goodwood website.

December Weather in the Dominican Republic
A collective sigh of relief as December brings forth the end of hurricane season through out the Caribbean and opens a window for travelers looking for some tropical relief on the beautiful island of the Dominican Republic. You can look forward to average daily temps being in the low to mid 80Fs with night time lows of around 75F. You're also not going to get soaked at this time of year, there may be rain once every three days but let's face it – the rain is warm! So forget the snow shoes and thermals and bring out your sandals and tank tops!
Traveling to the Dominican Republic in December: The Pros
Cost is one of the major pros when considering December travel to the Dominican Republic. Just bear in mind that early December you are going to find lots of bargains on both hotel rates and airfares just before the Christmas rush, as this is generally a slow time for tourism. Many families look at the collective price of airfare, hotel, food and drink as being a superb and reasonable option as opposed to a traditional home style Christmas and find the savings considerable. Don't worry about celebrating Christmas Mass as there are plenty of churches in the Dominican Republic that will have midnight mass going on (ask your local on the ground tour rep when you arrive) and what a great way to meet your fellow countrymen and embrace some Caribbean Christmas Culture!
Traveling to the Dominican Republic in December: The Cons
Whilst early December is cheap travel time, mid to end of December is not as this coincides with school break, college term ends and so on. Still look as bargains can be found, if you opt for celebrating New Year back in your home country you will still discover savings. Do not expect a white Christmas and those of you expecting a traditional home from home type Christmas will also be disappointed. Shopping is limited in the Dominican Republic, and much of the hype and usual Christmassy expectations will be limited. Remember that you will see palm trees with Christmas lights and not fir trees etc.
What to Pack for your December Vacation in the Dominican Republic
Light weight clothing is a good rule of thumb. Linen, khaki and cotton pants (as they dry easy if you get wet), leave your denim jeans at home. Plenty of shorts, t-shirts and a couple of swim wear options as there is nothing worse than putting on wet swimwear the next day! Sarongs, tank tops.
For Ladies: Remember the Dominican Republic has a tropical climate, so bring as many light weight tops as you can roll in your case (rolling will save creasing). If you are planning on going to Christmas Mass then you will probably have to have your arms covered when entering the church or cathedral (same as if you are going to Santo Domingo to visit the main Cathedral on the island). Many of the restaurants in your all inclusive resorts will not allow you to dine in just your bikinis, so bring a cover up for the day time like shorts/t-shirt or a nice sarong. Capri pants are a good in between option and are cooler than long pants whilst not as offensive to other diners if you shimmy in to eat in your Daisy Duke bum skimming shorts!
For Men: Smart shorts, linen cotton long pants and polo shirts are usually a good option It can sometimes get a little chilly in the evening especially if you are sat in an air conditioned lobby or having drinks in an air conditioned bar so you might wish to bring a light weight jacket with you. For Christmas and New Year then a shirt with dress pants will usually do the trick.
For everybody including kids: Flip flops, tennis shoes, sunglasses, bug spray, water shoes, dress shoes, water proof jacket. Sun cream, after sun cream, talc powder or Desitin (tropical climate is muggy and clammy and chafing is not pleasant for toddlers or grown ups!), your meds if required and your toiletries for the duration. Bring your baby's formula/feed.
Christmas & New Year in the Dominican Republic Resorts
Most of the all inclusive resorts will have a Christmas and New Years Eve Gala Dinner in their restaurants. You may like to dress up for this, it is not expected although you will find that most people do bring an extra special outfit for these 2 nights and really get into the festive spirit. You will usually find a traditional Christmas turkey dinner going on in at least one of the hotel restaurants, so you can go and get your turkey fix with the trimmings!! Great firework displays are usually put on at all of the hotels at New Years Eve with special dinners, ice carvings and cocktails in abundance!
So what are you waiting for? Come on down and celebrate Christmas in the Dominican Republic in style, we'll be waiting for you!!

Marianne Faithfull: Reinventing A Rock Legend
Marianne Faithfull in Studio at WFUV
Love Song
Hear More Songs From This Session
Prussian Blue
Why Did We Have To Part
It's unusual to associate the word "momentum" with an artist nearly six decades into her career. But the week Marianne Faithfull arrived at WFUV's Studio A, she made a successful appearance at the Montreal Jazz Festival, and was riding a wave of critical acclaim for her new record, Horses and High Heels.
Faithfull's 23rd album marks her return as a vital part of the rock 'n' roll world, but in our conversation, there was no need to focus on her remarkable legacy — Faithfull was more than happy to stay in the present. Horses and High Heels was produced by Hal Willner, and boasts collaborations with Lou Reed, Wayne Kramer of the MC5, and Greg Dulli of The Afghan Whigs. The all-star guests and unique covers that make up the album breathe new life into Faithfull, who gives much of the song-selection credit to Willner. That said, she's responsible for finding the Lesley Duncan-Elton John number "Love Song," which she says became a particular challenge to record.
"I was sure there was a much sort of hipper version in there, and I thought I could do it," Faithfull says. "It's not my fault I'm an old bat and still cool."
We discussed her love of vinyl, acting, the artists she's influenced (going back to a baby Rufus Wainwright) and her travels around New Orleans, where she recorded Horses and High Heels. Joking that her motive to go down south was purely for the cuisine, Faithfull also took a lighthearted approach to the album cover, deciding on a paint-by-numbers-style illustration she describes as "very kitsch" and the outcome of a long-held desire for psychedelic album art. It all reflects Faithfull's infectious enthusiasm for music and life, which shines through here.

Isabela Castro won two events and set a pool record in the 200 fly.
Jan. 26, 2013
By John Lock
Individual Results | Team Results
ST. LOUIS - The Southern Illinois women's swimming and diving team turned in a dominating performance this afternoon against Washington (Mo.) and Rhodes College. The team set seven pool records on its way to winning against both schools. Southern beat Washington (Mo.), 228-71, and Rhodes College, 269-31.
"I was blown away by our performances tonight," head coach Rick Walker said. "We're three weeks away from the MVC Championships, and this should give us great confidence heading into the home stretch of the season."
The Salukis won 13 of 16 women's events and both men's diving events. Along the way, Saluki swimmers set pool records in the 500-yard freestyle, 1000-yard freestyle, 200-yard butterfly, 200-yard freestyle relay, one-meter dive and three-meter dive. Men's diver Kegan Skelton, who accompanied the team, won both diving events and set a pool record in the men's three-meter dive.
Southern kicked off the meet by taking the top two spots in the 200-yard medley relay. Katy Ovington, Holly Johnson, Charlotte Davies and Luisa Silveira won the event by three seconds over their teammates and four seconds over the nearest opposing school.
The Salukis kept things rolling, taking the top three spots in the 1000-yard freestyle. Second-semester addition Helena Amorim dominated the event, winning in a pool-record time of 10:28.82, which was 35 seconds faster than the closest finisher from an opposing school.
Amorium was one of three newcomers to the squad competing in their first event of their Saluki career. Katy Ovington (200-yard medley relay) and Esther Chen (one- and three-meter dive) also were part of winning events for SIU, with Chen setting pool records in both diving events. A fourth newcomer, Morgan Timms, finished second in the 200-yard backstroke.
"We were very encouraged by our mid-year additions," Walker said. "They have proven that they give our team not only depth, but also top-end competitors that will prove valuable for the last two meets of the year."
Pamela Benitez led another trio of Salukis sweeping the top three spots in an event, this time the 200-yard freestyle. Benitez went on to win the 500-yard freestyle (4:58.75) with a pool-record time in the meet's 12th event. Holly Johnson (1:08.72) and Melissa Larocque (1:09.39) took the top two spots in the 100-yard breaststroke.
Isabela Castro (2:05.72) became the second individual Saluki of the meet to set a pool record, with hers coming in the 200-yard butterfly. Castro also won the 100-yard butterfly (58.54) later in the meet. Luisa Silveira also swept two events for SIU, the 50- (24.15) and 100-yard (54.00) freestyle.
Esther Chen won and set pool records in both the one- (285.10) and three-meter (305.75) dives. The Saluki quartet of Chen, Sherry Zhang, Brittany Weigel and Anna Beeck swept the top four spots in both events.
SIU continued its dominance with the top three places in the 200-yard backstroke, this time with Hannah Pinion (2:07.97) taking the top spot. The Salukis closed the meet out with yet another pool record, this time in the 200-yard freestyle relay. Luisa Silveira, Holly Johnson, Shaily Brumley and Pamela Benitez teamed up to win the event and set the record with a time of 1:36.58.
The Salukis are back in action with a home dual meet with Evansville on Feb. 2 at Dr. Edward J. Shea Natatorium in the SIU Rec Center.

Erin Clark
Erin Clark's new school record in the pole vault lasted exactly one week.
The Cheney senior broke her own mark of 11 feet, 6 inches set April 18 in a dual meet with East Valley and Deer Park by going six inches higher last Thursday, winning the event and helping give the Blackhawk girls two Great Northern League wins at Colville, over the host Indians, 89-58 and West Valley, 79-70.
Clark hit 12 feet for the first time, easily outdistancing the competition by 3 1/2 feet. But while going 11-06 last week gave her the second best mark in state 2A, topping 12 feet leaves her third, behind Burl...

What's the best way to deal with a snarling dog that is not under control?
By GrahamThompson
Become a tree! Plant your feet firmly to the ground, wrap your arms around your chest and stand still. Children are recommended to quietly say a nursery rhyme as this will calm them down. Adults may find repeating a nursery rhyme equally effective at calming themselves down. Finally, look at the ground so there is no face-to-face contact with the dog. The above is often enough to stop a dog progressing an aggressive challenge further and it will tend to stop and may walk off once it realises you are not a threat. If it does not stop, shouting "Help!" may draw the attention of passers by. Some people even recommend saying the word 'sit' or 'down' firmly, and this can work if the dog is trained. If all that fails then the next stage is to slowly back off, without turning away and without making the dog more aggressive. This may be enough to stop the dog barking and growling if it is guarding a territory. If the dog is following and remaining aggressive, then look for something you can get behind, such as a wall or door, and slowly back away towards it.Another tip is to have something you can give to the dog, such as some food in your bag, your bag itself or a jacket. Throwing such items to the floor for the dog to have may distract it enough to allow you to calmly walk back and away from it. It helps to understand why the dog is being aggressive towards you. It may be frightened of you entering what it thinks is its territory, or it may think you may take something from it, such as its food. The dog may also be driven to chase by your movements if you are running or walking. It may simply be frightened of you for some unknown reason. Some dogs are frightened of people with beards, caps, sunglasses or those that smell of beer, for example! So the dog is acting to protect itself or its property – and this is why it is so important not to give it more reason to be scared of you. Even the most aggressive dogs are not aggressive all the time and most will stop being aggressive when the person stands still and ignores them before slowly moving away.

Re: How do I deal with a snarling dog?
HiGreat way to make a dog really scared of humans ... and fire extinguishers!!There are spray devices available to use as positive punishment for dogs, and they fit on the collar. When combined with positive rewards, they can be effective sometimes. However, I have used them sometimes and the make the dog far more scared. I've also known of dogs attacking the person using similar spray devices or other punishment devices. Humans tend to act the same way when people spray things at them .... for some reason we only kill the dogs when they fight back though!GT

Quite simple really ! A fire extinguisher (not the foam type ) BUT this has obvious limitations when back packing or walking around the countyside If its your dodgy neighbours dog its very effective

HiThe problem is the faster you run, the more exciting you are to a dog, particular a border collie that is highly movement motivated, so the more likely the dog will chase you rather than your slower mate!!Check this link for running speeds of animals and you'll see humans are pretty rubbish at running ... that is why the police use dogs to catch people!http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0004737.htmlGT

I find it's useful to go walking with someone who can't run as fast as me.

Hi Old CragratThe trouble with the kicking the dog or poking the dog with stick method is that you could make the dog more scared of you and hence even more likely to attack - as discussed elsewhere on this thread.So you could end up getting bitten when you kick or poke the dog. But what is more of a problem is that the dog will now tend to be more fearful of trekking poles and swinging legs and it will tend to want to protect itself even more from these and hence it will probably bite someone else. When I'm dealing with aggressive dogs during my animal behaviour work, it is often very easy to spot the trigger for the aggression and often a swinging stick or moving foot or even a hand coming close to the dog is enough to make it scared and for it to bite - hence I stay still!!!!Furthermore when you kick or poke the dog it will tend to become more fearful and aggressive and the rise in adrenaline to deal with this stress will make the dog switch into automatic responses, rather than more considered responses , so once again a bite is more likely as the dog is now reacting in a fight or flight response to pain and a direct attack on it.In short if you want to encourage a dog to bite you or someone else, then kicking it is the best way ... hence it is among the worst ways to deal with the problem.Same problem with dealing with humans of course too, or other countries for that matter .... ie using aggression to solve a problem just creates more aggression.If you are really interesting, then read a book called Coecrion and its Fallout, by Murray Sidman, which looks at the effects of aggression in lots of situations.An interesting talk on aggression can be seen here too:http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/163Also this one, which is about a theory called Non Zero Sum which says that progress only comes from understanding one another, rather than through conflicthttp://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/68That isn't top say that punishment does not work, as it does sometimes, but the outcome is unpredictable and timing, level of punishment and the form the punishment takes must be more controlled that purely lashing out with a stick or boot ... or gun or bomb for that matter!GT

I''m looking for a decent flask. I've tried several but they're not keeping warm for long even after pre-warming. I'm going om MT winter skills course in 5 weeks so need to get something good for then.
