With rifle season right around the corner in NY I've been thinking about a few things. I hunt whitetail with a 30-06 Remington 710. But there are Black Bear where I hunt. I know that they are more likely to run away, but you never know.
So going into the woods, my rifle is strapped within my Cabela's hunting bag. I bring my Ruger Security Six as a BUG. I have it loaded with 125 gr Speer GDs. I'm not sure that this would work so well against a 250 lb Black Bear. Can anyone suggest a better load? Should I use FMJs?
Also, I was considering getting a .357 sig barrel for my 23 or 27 and bringing that instead. Better capacity and I shoot my Glocks very well. Plus I have a thigh holster for it that I can draw from much quicker than my Ruger.
Thoughts from the hunters?

Since ancient times, Hindus have expressed their love and devotion to their deities through beautiful ornamentation -- dressing and decorating the deities with elaborate clothing, jewelry, and flowers. In this pioneering study of temples in Vrindaban and Jaipur, India, Cynthia Packert takes readers across temple thresholds and into the god Krishna's sacred domain. She describes what devotees see when they behold gorgeously attired representations of the god and why these images look the way they do. She discusses new media as well as global forms of devotion popular in India and abroad. The Art of Loving Krishna opens up a universe of meaning in which art, religious action, and devotion are dynamically intertwined.

A program that pairs Columbus police officers with children at Pence Place Apartments to help kids with homework has received a $1,000 grant from the Women's Giving Circle of Bartholomew County. The grant will enable the program to meet its expenses and ensure it remains sustainable.
The Homework Help program began in November 2012 after a request from a child during a Columbus Police Department community meeting at Pence Place Apartments. CPD officers, led by Officer Julie Quesenbery, meet with children at the apartment complex for one hour each Monday to help the children with their homework. About five to 12 children usually attend. After spending time with the officers doing their homework, the children are provided a snack at the end of the hour.
Officer Quesenbery and Jill Sharp, Public Housing Manager for the Columbus Housing Authority, applied for the Women's Giving Circle grant and requested $820 to cover the costs of snacks and supplies for the Homework Help program. The Women's Giving Circle, which is managed by Heritage Fund – the Community Foundation of Bartholomew County, generously granted $1,000.
"Most of the kids have been very consistent in attending, and we have seen noticeable improvements in their work and attitudes towards homework," Sharp said. "We also believe that positive interaction with police officers at a young age is important for all children."
Lisa Shafran of the Women's Giving Circle Grants Committee said the committee was most impressed by the commitment of police officers who donate their time to children in the neighborhood and learned that Columbus Department officers value the positive interaction with the kids. The committee believes the grant has the potential to make a tremendous impact.

A temporary permit allows you to use a building or property for something different than its ordinary use for a short period of time. Some common examples include:
The Seattle Land Use Code has rules for temporary uses; the Seattle Building Code has rules for temporary structure and occupancies.
Some temporary permits are issued by the Seattle Fire Department. These permits include the temporary use of a building for assembly not more than once every 3 months, or the temporary installation of limited-size tents. See the Seattle Fire Department Special Events section for more information.
Our fees are based on the number of temporary structures proposed and/or the duration of the proposed temporary use.
We try to complete the initial review for temporary permit applications in 2 weeks, though actual review time depends on the scope of work. The total time it takes to get your permit depends on how complex your project is and how many corrections, if any, you need to make to your plans. In addition, if a temporary use will exceed 4 weeks, you may need a discretionary land use permit, which can significantly lengthen the permit review time.

When it came to light earlier this week that our military has a base named "Aryan" in Afghanistan, the DoD was quick to come up with excuses to explain it away. They claimed that it was the Afghan National Army, and not our military, who named the base; that it was spelled Arian, not Aryan; and that Arian is just a variation of Ariana, the ancient name of the region that includes Afghanistan.
Yes, There is a Base in Afghanistan Named "Aryan"

Adventures in OpenSolaris - Sun Ray Server Software
By user12609114 on Dec 21, 2008
A couple of my colleagues have posted an entry on how to run Sun Ray Server on OpenSolaris. The directions can be found here. I currently have an OpenSolaris server that I am experimenting with. What better way then to get a console on the server than through a Sun Ray? The installation went fine and I can now reach the server with my Sun Rays.
As the directions mention this configuration is not yet supported for production systems. If you are running OpenSolaris, go ahead and give it whirl!

History of science at the used book store
I have a minor interest in how scientific discoveries are made and another minor interest in the history of sciences, especially biology. The 2 interests are necessarily connected, for if one knows the history of a particular science, then it is easier to understand how the major discoveries in that field were made and vice versa.
I was, therefore, delighted last weekend when I visited my usual used bookstore and found 4 relevant books.
They were J.D. Bernal's The Scientific and Industrial Revolutions (1965), The Evolution of Biology by M. J. Sirks & C. Zirkle (1964), Thomas S. Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1970) and Willy Ley's Dawn of Zoology (1968).
The only one I had heard of before was Kuhn's book. But the most expensive among them being merely for $3, it would have been a shame to leave anyone behind and so I bought them all. Now I have to find time to go thru them, perhaps by skim reading.
Whatever interesting and useful ideas and facts I can distill out of the books are likely to be subjects of future posts.

There couldn't be a better time to go predator hunting with all the snow we have on the ground. The snow covering allows hunters to more easily see a coyote, fox or bobcat approaching from a far distance compared to snowless surroundings where these critters blend in.
If you'd like to try predator hunting and missed Cabela's recent standing room only predator hunting seminar featuring Kirk McKendree of FoxPro's pro hunting staff, his two-hour presentation was full of helpful tips and techniques for taking the aforementioned trio of predators.
Even if you've tried predator hunting, McKendree's first suggestion to make you a better hunter, is to learn your quarry. Know their habitat, food sources, breeding seasons (ie.. Jan-Feb for grey foxes) and ask landowners if they've seen predators and where on their land. Be in-tune with their personalities he advises.
McKendree says you should know that coyotes hate red foxes but can co-exist with grey foxes. And that grey foxes can climb trees whereas reds can't. Knowing their breeding seasons makes them more vulnerable to calling as whitetail bucks are during the rut.
Foremost in calling, McKendree says, is being at the right time and place. B using a rabbit call, he can call in any of these predators as they all respond to a possible meal of rabbit.
"Calling trends differ though between a grey fox and a red. You can get real aggressive with a grey fox and run the volume up high using hand calls, rabbit, bird or grey pup in distress calls. Gray's are good for shot gunners as the come in fast. Sometimes they'll run you down," he explains.
McKendree goes on by saying red foxes by nature are meeker than grays, so you need a more subtle approach in calling. He'll often uses a lip squeak, a squeaky dog toy, even a kids Happy Meal squeaky toy to call foxes in. "A little calling, he says, goes a long way." McKendree claims to have called in as many as 60 reds in a day.
Incidentally, coyotes hate reds. "Coyotes will outrun a red fox (40 mph vs. 30 mph) so they'll kill and often wipe out a red fox population in a specific area. Reds will then abandon the hardwoods and seek shelter in suburbia and around homes."
Bobcats: They use their nose to bust hunters. Yet their curiosity gets them in trouble despite their keen noses. Don't ever leave your stand less than 45 minutes when hunting bobcats, McKendree stresses. He prefers a rifle for them as they come in slow but can check up on you. Most bobcats are around 22 pounds but he's already taken a few weighing up to 40 pounds. Bobcats are typically a solitary creature that prefer living alone and are more carnivorous than a coyote, which will eat anything including watermelon.
McKendree says bobcats lose interest quickly so after calling, wait 15 minutes before calling again. He prefers to use high-pitched electronic rabbit or birdcalls to lure them in. "And when you do, shoot quickly."
Coyotes: Coyotes come in brown, black and a rare chocolate coloration with most having an average weight of about 36 pounds. They are the premier predator, McKendree contends.
Coyotes are in all 67 counties of the state with 19 different species and 16 subspecies. In March or April, Coyote females normally have 4-5 pups per year. And even if hunters take out 70 percent of them, they'll never be wiped out. "You can even put $25 on their head and try poisoning them and you still won't wipe them out," McKendree opines.
A lot of McKendree's coyote opportunities come when family dogs, cats or farmers' chickens and calves are killed. Then he gets calls to take them out.
When hunting coyotes he urges hunters to keep in mind they like to circle downwind. His quickest calling time so far was 3 minutes and the longest was 1 hour, 5 minutes. But most of the time coyotes come in late.
If hunted too hard, coyotes will become overly stressed and will quickly become conditioned to calling. And the five reasons they come into calling are: hunger, curiosity, territorial, breeding and competition from other coyotes or predators.
The alpha male, he points out, is the resident and main howler. Up to 70 percent of the coyote population are the young of the year and as omega's they don't want confrontations with the alpha's.
CALLS: Mouth calls come in closed or open reed models and they're versatile. They can sound like a rabbit, bird or a barker. But the pro urges hunters to put emotion calling but don't sound like a 200 pound rabbit. The only drawback to open reed mouth calls is that they don't produce deep calls. When he has a double coming in, he blows a shrieking whine-like call – similar to the sound when stepping on a dogs' tail.
McKendree said to get good with mouth calls, hunters must practice. He practices his calling while waiting for red lights, at home watching TV and anyplace that won't bother someone.
Hand operated shaker calls, he says, are great for a beginners as they're simple to operate. But they're not for long distance calling. When using one, it helps being a quick shooter as there's too much motion involved with a shaker. When he uses a shaker he shakes it behind his leg so the coyote can't see motion. The other shaker problem is that all the calls sound alike, there's no deviation.
Electronic Calls: When using a FoxPro electronic caller McKendree places it about 80 yards out from his location. And he'll often use a hand caller at the same time to mimic two coyotes. The advantage to electronic calls is that the sounds are unlimited. On the down side, if you're in an area with other predator hunters, everyone sounds the same. So he'll mix in some hand calls with the electronic generated tones and pitches. With electronic calls, a jackrabbit call, for instance, can be selected even though they're not indigenous to our area. But a coyotes' curiosity will bring him in.
Scouting: McKendree advises hunters to talk to farmers, landowners, rural mail carriers and WCOs to determine where predators are. Then, scout by checking back roads, trails, fencerows and edges of cover. Predators, he explains, use the same trails and back roads we do.
His last words of wisdom are that hunters should use camo, a quiet approach, stay still and ready, set up in the shadows keeping the sun at your back and during a full moon, and to use the wind and terrain to your advantage.
As a footnote of sorts, Jevon Ahnert of Northampton, used a .454 Casull caliber handgun to shoot a 40-pound Slatedale area coyote while deer hunting this past season. Ahnert shot it at a Hail Mary 300 yards using a Leupold red dot scope atop the handgun. Ahnert said he put the dot a little below the coyote's body but the first shot broke one of its legs. The second shot tumbled it.

Ducking under, a fist thrown casually*
She sneaks past, and out the door
Hiding herself, on a daily basis
Keep it inside, every night on the floor
Made to regret, each syllable
Turning into, a cautious being
Bruises concealed, as she lives
Barely life, there's no fleeing
Walking in the door she's grabbed by the hair
Thrown to the ground and his anger flares
She braces for the blows she knows will land
On her tenderized flesh, at her captor's hand
She closes her eyes
And takes herself away
Reliving happy days
Away from all the pain
The beating doesn't phase
She is almost glad
With remarkable mind power
She can escape her dad
Rising up, her arms covered in bruises
At last the will to fight, to escape the abusement
On the other end, she now wields the sword
Holding in her hand a blade with which to thwart his word
Slicing off the flesh of the one who gave her life
She gives in to the thrill of flesh parting for her knife

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin has been cleared by NASCAR to race this weekend at Martinsville Speedway after the sanctioning body received official confirmation from his doctors that he has been medically cleared to return to regular racing activities.
Hamlin visited the infield care center at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California on Saturday night bothered with an irritation in his eye, then returned to the infield care center on Sunday morning because his condition had worsened. The onsite medical team determined he would not be allowed to race due to a sinus infection that was impacting his vision; he was then referred to the local hospital for further evaluation.
During the hospital evaluation, a small piece of metal was found in Hamlin's eye; doctors removed the sliver and Hamlin felt immediate improvement to his condition. A CT Scan did not find any other problems, and the metal is believed to have been the source of Hamlin's vision problems. Hamlin was released from the hospital Sunday afternoon and given doctor's approval to fly home.
He was reevaluated by a doctor in Charlotte on Monday, was sent home to rest and told to return Wednesday for a follow-up examination. After the follow-up examination, his doctors provided the necessary approval for Hamlin to resume all racing activity without restriction.
Keep up with the action at joegibbsracing.com.

If you're trying to woo that special someone, instead of just bringing them a box of ordinary chocolates, how about a box of chocolates that look like you?

If you've ever removed the battery from a laptop, then you will know that it constitutes quite a large percentage of the total weight of the computer. Well, if you think you've got it tough lugging that laptop battery around, consider the plight of infantry soldiers – they have to carry multiple batteries to power devices such as weapons, radios, and GPS equipment, and they have to do so for hours at a time, often under very harsh conditions. Attempts to lighten the 45 to 70 kg (99 to 154 lb) loads typically carried by soldiers currently include the use of fuel cells, li-ion batteries woven into their clothing, and autonomous pack horse-like vehicles. Now, UK researchers are adding their two pence-worth, by developing wearable solar and thermoelectric power systems. Read More
Mathematicians are creating their own version of the periodic table that will provide a vast directory of all the possible shapes in the universe across three, four and five dimensions, linking shapes together in the same way as the periodic table links groups of chemical elements. The three-year project, announced today, should provide a resource that mathematicians, physicists and other scientists can use for calculations and research in a range of areas, including computer vision, number theory, and theoretical physics. For some mental exercise, check out these animations that have already been analyzed in the project. Read More
People living in landslide-prone areas will be glad to know that a new technology has been developed which monitors soil acoustics to determine when a landslide is imminent. The system consists of a network of sensors, buried across a hillside considered a risk. As soil moves within the hillside, it creates noise – the more the amount of movement, the louder the noise. When that noise reaches a threshold level, the system sends a text message warning to local authorities, that a landslide is about to occur. Read More
The local pub might not seem like the most obvious location to try and improve the health of middle-aged men but that's just the task researchers in the U.K. have set themselves. In a novel approach to get unfit men active, the researchers have devised an 'exergaming' system targeted at sedentary middle-aged men on Teesside in the North East of England. The plan is to put the system into workingmen's clubs and get the men to take part in virtual boxing matches with a computer-generated opponent. Read More
Whether you're chilling out to some smooth jazz, venting a spleen with the help of hard rock or jumping for joy to the latest in bubblegum pop – there always seems to be a song or an album that suits whatever mood you happen to be in.

It is hoped that the research may lead to music being used to bring folks out of a depression or even help with pain management.Read More
Traditional environmental enemies food packaging and other disposable plastic items could soon be composted at home along with organic waste and not collected for landfill thanks to a new sugar-based polymer being developed at Imperial College London.

A portable magnetometer being developed at the University of Leeds could dramatically simplify and improve the process of diagnosing heart conditions. Its creators say its unprecedented sensitivity to magnetic fluctuations will allow the innovative cardiac scanner to detect a number of conditions, including heart problems in fetuses, earlier than currently available diagnostic techniques such as ultrasound, ECG (electrocardiogram) and existing cardiac magnetometers. It will also be smaller, simpler to operate, able to gather more information and significantly cheaper than other devices currently available.Read More
The negative impact surrounding terrorism, crime and anti-social behavior has resulted in an escalation in the amount of remote surveillance undertaken around the world, but especially in the UK, which, according to the Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT), has deployed more than 4 million CCTV cameras. Putting aside privacy issues for another article, the increase in CCTV usage has had very little success in preventing crime. The main problem seems to lie in the amount of video captured versus the amount that can be viewed and interpreted by trained staff. To overcome these shortcomings, UK researchers are investigating the use of computer technology that recognizes suspicious behavior in live Internet-enabled CCTV feeds from buses and trains, allowing control room staff to intervene and protect drivers and passengers from assaults, thefts and other incidents.Read More

I find it so incredibly interesting that one person would condem another for choosing to remain with a program that has in their opinon saved there life. I have been a member of AA for 13 years, I love my life, I feel stronger than i have ever felt. I don't go to meetings because I am weak I go because I need to share with others how this beautiful program helped me to regain my self respect, self confidence etc. I do not write this email in defense of AA it needs nothing like that from me, it speaks for itself. I do want to say that not many who have choosen to live sober through AA feel the need ever to explain.

It makes sense that you would find this interesting, because you appear to have the same warped sense of morality that many Twelve Steppers display.
Why do so many Twelve Steppers viciously condemn me for doing something that I have never done? I have never condemned anyone simply for being a Twelve Stepper. What I do condemn is the blatant dishonesty and insane rage that loyalty to the Program inspires people to practice against the Program's critics (as if to criticize the Program is to criticize the individuals who join the Program).
Get this straight: It is the Program itself that I condemn, not the people who join it. It is the Program which teaches people that they are powerless, it is the Program that tells people that only the Program can help them -- and then drives them back to drinking because they cannot handle the religion in the Program.
And it is the behavior that the Program inspires its members to practice that I condemn. It is the dishonesty, the slander, the anger, the threats of physical violence, the acts of physical violence, the political maneuvering, and the outright lies -- just so they can give lip-service to the Program -- that I condemn. Because the Program teaches its adherents that if they don't give lip-service to the Program, they will die.
I don't condemn anybody for joining the Program -- or taking 12 3/4 years longer than one would think they'd need in order to figure out how to stop putting substances into their bodies (though I will denounce the Program for teaching someone that they still need to be with the Program for 13 years). But when somebody tells me that the Program works, they have just made a public claim, and I will show that this claim is simply not true. When people insist that the Program is good for you, I will show, by the dishonest behavior of its adherents, that loyalty to the Program has turned otherwise honest people into bald-faced liars.
Not everybody who joins the Program turns into a liar. In fact, after the first year, 95 percent of those who join AA today will have seen through AA's subterfuge and will have left the Program for greener pastures. But almost all who stick around eventually end up lying about AA's success rate or lying about one of AA's critics or competitors. This is what AA does to people, and this is why I strongly urge people to stay as far away from AA as possible.

I don't have to know someone to be able to detect that what they just told me is not the truth.
In 1988, without the benefit of even a drug- or alcohol-related charge, much less a conviction, I was court-ordered to practice your Twelve Step religion for three years. I balked on Constitutional grounds and was subsequently placed on a 30-day "hold," of which I served 24 days before being accidentally released by the jail staff. This was after having served all 180 days of a 180-day sentence for shoplifting to support myself after having been rendered barely able to hear by an infection and simultaneously barely able to walk from a virus that took up residence under the soles of my feet, producing lima bean-sized tumors.
After my release, I quietly did 25 months of your Twelve Step religion before being released of my obligation, wherein I have ever since been one of the busiest activists in recent times trying to restore my country to the secular status upon which she was founded. Seven and a half of those years were spent directly addressing the institutionalization of Alcoholics Anonymous as America's State Religion (wherein even her courts can get away with forcing you to participate) and spreading the word that Alcoholics Anonymous itself admits to its 95 percent rate of recidivism during the first year.

Justifying? No. I'm alive, but that's the only justification I have. Sometimes none of the choices we have are any good. I did my time and that solved the problem according to The People Of The State Of Oregon, who were the Plaintiffs in the case.
But, once I had completed my sentence, they sent me back to jail simply for refusing to undergo religious instruction in the form of Twelve Step meetings.
Methinks you're the weirdo for not admitting that it's wrong for my government to send me to jail for refusing to go to AA because (1) AA is nothing more than religious instruction and (2) AA simply does not work and, in many cases, impairs one's prospects for recovery. These were the reasons I gave to the judge -- long before I learned what I now know.
I do not drink right now because I am seeing a specialist who is a Seventh-Day Adventist, and he makes all his patients agree not to drink while they see him. Medical care is more important to me than a shot or two of Jamison or a pound of Guinness.

however that doesn't mean it doesn't work
No. The fact that AA allows our government to exploit its program says nothing to whether or not AA works.
However, all AA needs to do so stop being complicit in this travesty is to agree to stop signing meeting attendance verification slips. Until AA does this, AA remains the primary culprit in this matter. I doubt AA will do this, because AA is way too greedy, and loves the fact that our government plays the role of AA's recruiting arm.
AA DOES WORK for those who work it and want it
According to AA's own statistics, only about five (5) percent of those who join today will still be there a year from now. According to AA's own statistics, only between 1.6 and 2.6 percent of those who join today will still be there five years from now. That is a dismal recidivism rate, if you ask me.
Meanwhile, of all Americans who ever had a drug or alcohol problem but don't have one now, fully 80 percent took care of the problem without so much as reading a pamphlet. Very few people who solve their substance abuse problems do so by going to AA.
AA's success rate is much worse than chance, because AA teaches people that they are powerless to quit drinking. After hearing this, they throw up their arms and go, "Oh well! Bottoms up!" AA has just given them a perfect excuse to keep drinking.
I am particularly angry about this today because a former friend of mine, Julie, drank herself to death last week. She had Hepatitis C and just wouldn't stop drinking because she was convinced that she couldn't stop drinking. She went to AA and learned the powerlessness bit, but rejected the smarmy religious angle.
I was driven out of NA by a whisper campaign. A man who was once my friend (and once my sponsor!) told everybody that I had gone on television and said, "AA and NA ruin lives." I did not say this and challenged the man to watch a video of the television show in question. He refused. I also know that the man does not own a working television set and did not watch the program; he got the information from someone else who heard only part of what I said and did not accurately hear what I said. He did not watch it on TV, either, where there is a speaker reproducing what goes into the microphone: he was simply in the TV studio, barely picking up my unamplified voice. I told my former sponsor that this was not even my opinion -- and it wasn't at the time. However, that is my opinion today: AA and NA ruin lives with their defeatist philosophy.
Still, I do not blame people for getting suckered in to the Program. I do not denounce them for doing this. The pressure is intense, considering that almost everybody who says anything about substance abuse simply parrots the AA party line without ever questioning it. It's just not proper to question or criticize Alcoholics Anonymous -- or the Boy Scouts or Billy Graham or the Beach Boys.
While I won't fault people for joining, I will, however, reserve some of my most intense rage for those who repeat the AA party line, particularly those who know better than to tell us that AA works. All one needs to do is go to the same AA meeting for a month and watch all the newcomers come and go. All one needs to do is be the treasurer for a large NA group and count how many "Welcome" keytags they sell versus how many nine-month keytags. I was treasurer for two of the three largest NA meetings in Portland, and was both the Area and the Regional Literature Committee chairperson (and part of that job is to know how many keytags we sell). And this is what we sold: we sold about 30 "Welcome" keytags to every nine-month keytag. We sold seven to ten 30-day keytags to every nine-month keytag. AA and NA do not work. Otherwise, we would sell close to even numbers of each value of keytag.
You are so terribly mistaken about so much regarding aa.
I'm listening. Give us some facts. Demonstrate this very serious charge you level against me.
I really wish people like yourself who run around claiming to KNOW AA would really do some research HONEST research before making such untrue comments about the organization
It is AA's supporters who are lying through their teeth about AA, who have done research and who know exactly how bad AA's recidivism rate is. But they lie to the public because AA's disease model is their only justification for even being in business.
The number of people in the United States who know more than I do about the various other recovery methods could easily fill the room where your home group meets -- no matter how small it is. I was active in the Twelve Step Program for many years, and still hold the record for submitting more material to the NA Literature Development Committee than anybody else has. I spent almost eight years, full time, studying the various other methods, teaching one of those methods, and advocating for social change trying to compensate for the fact that the Twelve Step model (the only model that is even remotely profitable) holds a virtual monopoly on the addiction "treatment" industry.
The reason AA dominates the field is because AA is the only model that makes a big deal out of addiction. It is the only model that even pretends that learning how to solve an addiction problem is worth paying for. Thus, the Steppers have put themselves into business "solving" this "problem" that they've created -- a "problem" which, to the others, is really no big deal (just stop putting that shit into your body and get a job: you'll be fine).
Perhaps you best do some research about me before you make your denouncements of me in a public forum. Perhaps you might want to start with my outline for the 1991 Traditions Workshop that I presented to the Washington-Northern Idaho Region of NA.
If you had done your research first, before spouting off like you did, you could have avoided the embarrassment and ensuing lack of credibility which inevitably results from telling lies about someone in a widely read public forum.
Your lies about me have cost you not only personal credibility, in that you are now shown to be a liar, but have also cost the Twelve Step movement that much more credibility in that the ratio of liars to truth-tellers among Steppers who write to our forum just tipped further toward the "liars" side (though it was already very lopsided in that direction before you added to our collection of Twelve Step lies).
Why is it that almost all the Twelve Steppers who write here feel it necessary to lie to make their point? Why don't they just leave it alone? Why can't they settle for saying, "I disagree with you, and I like it in AA even though it doesn't work for very many people"?
And why is it that of all the people who write to our Forum and lie to us, it's the Twelve Steppers who are the worst? Why are the Steppers both more likely to lie and more desperate in their lies than even the Fundamentalist Christians who write to us? Why is this? Why do the Twelve Steppers, as a group, display our "Lies" trophy as if this is a source of pride of some sort? Why do the Fundamentalists run a distant second to the Steppers in this respect?
Why have the dozens of threats of physical violence and death threats that I've received all come from Twelve Steppers? What is it about the Twelve Steps that makes its members and supporters so utterly and pathetically desperate (seeming almost pathological about it) when it comes to defending the Program's reputation against criticism?
AA is not a religious organization
I don't know what you call it, then. You use a completely different definition for the word religious than the rest of us do -- kinda like Lewis Carroll's Humpty Dumpty character, whose trait was that he made up his own definitions for the various words he used.
As an atheist, I am unable to distinguish between religious and spiritual. All the dictionaries I consulted were equally ambiguous in distinguishing between these two words as pertains to the religious-spiritual connection (not counting such definitions as "a religious devotion to baseball"). In other words, none of the definitions allowed for something to be one but not the other, as in your claim that AA is spiritual, not religious. The main exception that I noted is Merriam-Webster's (owned and published by the Christian Science Church), which described religious as being informal and personal and spiritual as being formal and ecclesiastical. Merriam-Webster's, the only dictionary we have that distinguishes these words at all, makes the opposite distinction from what the Steppers insist is the truth.
In July, 1996, the New York State Court Of Appeals (the Supreme Court in that state) ruled that Alcoholics Anonymous was "unequivocally religious," and added that "adherence to the AA fellowship entails engagement in religious activity and religious proselytization." As a finding-of-fact, the Court noted that "God" is mentioned in five of the Twelve Steps, describing those Steps as the "cornerstone" of the AA Program. The court said that meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous were "heavily laced with at least general religious content." True, the court rules on the legal definition of the word religious, but that's what I'm most concerned about anyway, the legal problems.
in fact you can even be an athiest and be a loving a welcome member
Of course you can!
As long as you lie to the other members about your atheism, you can be as atheistic as you want!
And it's okay to talk about whatever god you want -- as long it's a god.
But once you start ducking out of the Lord's Prayer ritual or announcing in meetings that you don't believe in God and the supernatural, it's all over.
Try it sometime and see:
For the next six months, refuse to stand up and join the others during the closing prayer ritual. Don't simply stand there in the circle with your mouth closed, refuse to join the circle to begin with. No fair slipping out the door unseen, either (as a lying atheist -- an atheistic hypocrite -- might do); we're trying to discover the reaction of groupers to your rejection of the AA prayer ritual. Do this openly and and do this publicly, but don't do it defiantly: you don't need to make a big show of it. Remember, as an atheist (this is an experiment: you're pretending to be an atheist), as an atheist, you don't hate prayer, you simply do not indulge. So just sit there, quietly, conspicuously, and watch while the others stand up, hold hands in a big circle, and recite the Protestant version of the "Our Father."
If asked to join (and they will, they must so as not to be alone; they must "for the sake of group unity"), humbly respond, "It's against my religious beliefs to pray in public" (this will make any Christians who have read the Sermon on the Mount start to twitch).
I promise you that you cannot do this without someone urging you to join the rest of the group in practicing this religious ritual: this will happen at every meeting. I promise! And whenever they ask you to join in, calmly announce that you don't believe in God. In a calm but confident voice that everyone in the room can hear, tell whoever invited you to join in that you think it's morally wrong for you to pray.
When someone eventually pulls you aside and pleads with you to join in "for the sake of AA unity," explain to this person that for you to pray is tantamount to lying. When they push you on the God issue (and some of them will get very pushy about it), tell them you checked into it and you just don't see what it is that everybody's talking about.
Do this every time you go to a meeting for a full six months and see how much of a "support group" you have left even after the first few weeks. I dare you! 'Cause if you don't believe in God, all you have left in AA is your "support group" -- and if you admit that don't believe in God in AA, you won't have any "support group" to speak of.
A friend of mine, Kris, celebrated her three-year anniversary at a large 5:30 meeting. When she started talking about how she doesn't believe in God but stays clean by volunteering in hospitals and jails, over half the people in the room got up and walked out over about a five-minute period. It was pathetic. Kris and her husband, Dirk, worked sacrificially both at the Hospitals and Institutions Committee and for that 5:30 meeting. The two of them donated more time and money than practically anyone else -- but you wouldn't know it to hear people talk because they took anonymity seriously. Nobody knew. They gave people rides to recovery meetings, rides to committee meetings, rides to committee commitments -- not just across town but across the state. Kris once gave a woman from Washington and I a ride from Portland to Salem. Then she waited for our committee meeting to end (five or six hours) and drove us back home -- and she wasn't even a member of the committee!
But they other highfalutin NA members all stood up, one-by-one, and walked out on her anniversary meeting. They did this as she was admitting to the group that she does not believe in God.
Perhaps you should try it AGAIN.
Why, Charlie Brown? Whatever for? This period was probably the most miserable phase of my entire life -- up there with the time I was a Fundamentalist Christian and running rings around the time I was sick and homeless and unable to hear or walk.
It took me years after being in the Program to get up the nerve to drink again. Now (except for the next several months while I see this specialist who's making me abstain), I drink without getting into trouble. I have learned both how to abstain if I want to and how to drink responsibly if that's what I want to do. AA is wrong. Alcohol abuse is a behavior, not a disease. It is sheer irresponsibility. Alcohol abuse is pure self-indulgence and nothing more.
Society feels sorry for the "alcoholic," but I don't. Why? Because I've been there. I've been one of those who lied to my family and friends by telling them that I couldn't help it. All along, though, I did it because I had nothing better to do with my life (so I thought). Today, I still cop a buzz now and then, but only when I can justify it -- only when I can afford it and when my health is up to it and when I have the time. I won't drink unless I have enough money to spend on it, and I won't drink unless I am feeling healthy enough to handle it. I won't drink when I'm depressed. And I won't drink more than the predetermined amount that I have already allotted to myself over the course of an evening. Everybody who drinks responsibly does this, either consciously or unconsciously. Everybody. Since I've had problems in the past, I must do this consciously and deliberately. My father does the same thing, but he never even thinks about it. He just does it.
So why should I go to AA again, and get shunned and dissed and threatened and beat up -- again? Why should I go and listen to what I know is a lie?
As that John Giorno poem goes, "I don't need it / I don't want it / And you cheated me out of it!"

I think you are missing the point, I never said AA worked for everyone. I am sorry to hear about your friend I too have had many friends die from the disease of Alcoholism NOT AA. You seem like an intellegent man but perhaps you are the one filled with rage and anger. My suggestion is to put your energy into something good and allow people to make decisions for themselves. I am a very capeable person and I don't need you to save me from anything and I would imagine most other people with half a brain don't either. Everything about AA is suggested we do not tell anyone we are the only way, we do not tell people they MUST anything. We definitely do not tell people to beleive in GOD and if you truly knew anything about AA you would also know that we are a very powerful group of people capeable of changing our lives we are no longer POWERLESS. I actually appreciate that you have your own opinion I base my comments on my EXPERIENCE your's unfortunately was a different one. Such is life.

I think you are missing the point, I never said AA worked for everyone.
You said "AA works." You never qualified it until I called you on what you did say. AA either works or it does not work; it either has a track-record to back up the claims its supporters make for it, or only a handful of people who try it stick around for longer than a few meetings.
To state, at this point in the conversation, that it does not work for everyone is an understatement bordering on sheer deception. AA admits, in the memo describing the Triennial Survey, that AA doesn't work for about 98 percent of the people who try it.
I am sorry to hear about your friend I too have had many friends die from the disease of Alcoholism NOT AA.
Many die needlessly because they have been deceived (by AA and by AA's supporters) into thinking that "alcoholism" is a disease -- when the medical profession doesn't even use the word alcoholism! AA tells problem drinkers that they cannot control themselves and thus need supernatural assistance -- and they go along with that notion and drink themselves to death. I say that they can control themselves and then show them how to stop (or moderate). Then they live normal lives -- once they've stopped believing and acting upon The Big AA Lie.
You seem like an intellegent man but perhaps you are the one filled with rage and anger.
What does this have to do with AA admitting that about 98 percent of those who try AA will not be in AA's life-long program in five years?
Perhaps you've blinded yourself with your loyalty to AA so that you cannot feel the rage and anger that perhaps you ought to feel every time a newcomer does not "keep coming back" -- every time a newcomer goes back out and dies because the Program simply does not work.
My suggestion is to put your energy into something good and allow people to make decisions for themselves.
How can people make decisions for themselves when they only ever hear one side of the story? How can people make an informed choice when the only opinion available to them is The Big AA Lie?
I wasted a big part of my life and will most likely die young because I didn't hear the truth until it was way too late. Everybody who pretended to know anything about drug addiction told me that you cannot help it, that it is a disease for which there is no cure -- that only a miracle would help me, so I'd better get some religion. Okay, bottoms up, then! Shit! If I had only known then what it now takes me about twenty minutes to teach someone, dying young would not be a virtual certainty for me.
Okay, if I have to die young, at least I'm not going to die silently. I'm going to do all I can to keep from taking anybody with me.
You know what? Fuck you!
Go fuck yourself with a big zucchini!
You know why? Because you're one of those assholes who lied to me way back when (and took my parents' money for it in the process)!
If I had only known that it's a simple matter of realizing that it wasn't really "Me" who craved the stuff, but that it was just an appetite gone haywire -- a conditioned reflex -- a hallucination, if you will. If only I'd known that I do have full control over my arm muscles!
All because of a lack of information.
But you sit there and suggest that I am not allowing people to make their own decisions? Tell me, how can more information -- how can the other side of the argument -- prevent someone from making decisions? (Or did you even read this far?)
I am a very capeable person and I don't need you to save me from anything and I would imagine most other people with half a brain don't either.
I am not trying to save you from anything. I didn't write to you, you wrote to me. It was you who suggested to me that, "Perhaps you should try it AGAIN." I don't even care about you. My entire role in this whole dialogue has been to show that you are lying.
I don't even care that you are a liar! Your deceitfulness does not bother me in the least. But you will not log onto my Forum and lie to me without me showing both that you have lied and discussing the truth of the matter.
Everything about AA is suggested we do not tell anyone we are the only way, we do not tell people they MUST anything. We definitely do not tell people to beleive in GOD
Did you even read what I wrote last time? I doubt it very seriously, because your reply came only a few minutes after I sent it.
"Work the Steps or Die!" is anything but a "suggestion." AA is very coercive in its "suggestions." AA has a captive audience with their backs up against a wall, and AA comes off as very authoritative. AA also has the almost unanimous endorsement of the press and those physicians and counselors who have not specialized enough to know any better. And those who have specialized have, for the most part, specialized in selling only the AA product.
From the AA "Big Book":
"To one who feels he is an atheist or agnostic such an experience seems impossible, but to continue as he is means disaster ... To be doomed to an alcoholic death or to live on a spiritual basis are not always easy alternatives to face."
"But after a while we had to face the fact that we must find a spiritual basis of life -- or else. Perhaps it is going to be that way with you. But cheer up, something like half of us thought we were atheists or agnostics."
"But [the newcomer's] face falls when we speak of spiritual matters, especially when we mention God, for we have re-opened a subject which our man thought he had neatly evaded or entirely ignored. We know how he feels. We have shared his honest doubt and prejudice. Some of us have been violently anti-religious."
Anybody who disagrees is written off as "prejudiced," or "handicapped by obstinacy," or having "intellectual pride," or any number of tricky and derogatory slanders:
"...as soon as we were able to lay aside prejudice and express even a willingness to believe in a Power greater than ourselves, we commenced to get results..."
"Do not let any prejudice you may have against spiritual terms deter you..."
"[We] often found ourselves handicapped by obstinacy, sensitiveness, and unreasoning prejudice. Many of us have been so touchy that even casual reference to spiritual things make us bristle with antagonism. This sort of thinking had to be abandoned.... Faced with alcoholic destruction, we soon became ... open minded on spiritual matters.... In this respect alcohol was a great persuader. It finally beat us into a state of reasonableness."
"If you think you are an atheist, an agnostic, a skeptic, or have any other form of intellectual pride which keeps you from accepting what is in this book, I feel sorry for you."
AA lies to the public in telling us that AA is about quitting drinking. AA is not about quitting drinking but its "main object" is to proselytize people into joining the AA religion -- as is admitted in this passage from the "Big Book":
"Lack of power, that was our dilemma. We had to find a power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves. Obviously. But where and how were we to find this Power? Well, that's exactly what this book is about. Its main object is to enable you to find a Power greater than yourself which will solve your problem.... [That] means, of course, that we are going to talk about God. Here difficulty arises with agnostics."
AA is not about quitting drinking, AA is about AA. You have made this very clear by your continued belligerence in refusing to even address my criticism of AA.
I do not have a problem with people joining AA. But I do have a serious problem with people like you, people who lie and lie and lie and lie and lie in their defense of Alcoholics Anonymous.
You did not even bother to address the several challenges I made in my last letter. I spent quite a bit of time writing it, but I doubt that you even took the time to read it and see what it says. This (I suspect) is because your mind is already made up. You have presented nothing even remotely resembling a refutation of my case, but have merely parroted the same slogans that we always hear whenever a Twelve Stepper writes to us -- bald assertions and nothing more.
we are a very powerful group of people capeable of changing our lives we are no longer POWERLESS
Your organization is a very powerful lobby whose defeatist philosophy has monopolized an entire branch of medicine -- a branch of medicine which ought not even exist because drinking is a behavior, a form of irresponsibility, not a disease. AA is merely an extension of the groups which ushered in the Prohibition Era. When it became clear to even them that Prohibition doesn't work, they simply took a different tack. One of my favorite Abraham Lincoln speeches was when he was invited to speak to AA's predecessor, the oxymoronically named Washingtonian Society (as Washington, like most Colonials, was a heavy drinker by today's standards). Back then, Lincoln called the Washingtonians liars to their faces, and today I find myself calling many AA members liars to their faces.
I actually appreciate that you have your own opinion I base my comments on my EXPERIENCE
So, then, when you told me that AA works, was this in response to your experience of new people coming in to AA and staying there? Does your group or area actually have a recidivism rate that differs from AA's report on the Triennial Survey? that differs from what most AA groups experience?
Or does your report differ from what your experience has shown?
My opinion coincides with my experience, which happens to jive with AA's report: very few people who try AA stick around for very long. People go to a few AA meetings, drink in the concept of disease and powerlessness (pun intended). They recoil from the cult-like, very, very persuasive religious aspect of AA, they leave, and they often drink themselves to death because they bought the powerlessness business, hook, line, and sinker.
That's what Julie did. That's what she told me the last time I saw her, was that she couldn't help it, that she had this disease that could never be cured. Whether she actually believed this or was just lying to me in order to justify her theft and continued drinking is anyone's guess. But while we cannot know whether she believed this line or what influence it actually had on her drinking, there is one place and one place only where she could have possibly learned to talk this way: she learned it from an Alcoholics Anonymous member.

My horse has resently developed a nasty leg infection which has caused his leg to swell and he's become lame. He has had three doses of penicillin but hasnt yet improved. I have been told that his leg will burst out, could this cause permanent lameness or will he make a full recovery after a period of time?

Without more information it is hard to tell what part of the leg is affected and what could happen. From what you've said it sounds as though it may be an abscess, is this right? If so then once it has popped and cleaned up, it should heal over without leaving your horse lame and the pain will go almost immediately.
There is no sign of any abscess, literally the only thing is swelling of the leg and it smells. He is very sore on all of his leg, I've thoroughly checked his leg and hoof
It sounds as though there is something which is known as a "collection" i.e. there is a collection of pus in the tissues which has come about through infection. This could have gained entry through a cut or even a small scratch which you've maybe not noticed at the time. It will need antibiotics to clear it up, your horse will likely need a course of them so get the vet back onto the case straight away, if this is left without treatment your horse could become unwell if the infection gets into the bloodstream, the antibiotics will prevent this happening - it is called "sepsis" or "septicaemia". If the pus bursts out through the skin, which may or may not happen, then you will have a wound requiring a lot of sterile cleaning and dressing until it heals properly but your horse will still require antibiotic therapy. In other words get the vet back. All in all though, your horse should make a full recovery once treated.

I had a horse that had a similar situatio and he was on the wrong anti biotic for the infection and infact was put on an anti biotic that had only been tested on zebra equines but it worked and the vet put drains in his leg he made a full recovery but it was a long slow and very painfull process the worst thing was my boy was strict box rest but infact this made it worse and I had him out several times a day in hand moving reduces swelling and in my opinion helps mental state an the infection to tract out good luck

It took 19 years of nagging, but I finally got my husband to agree to let me purchase a German shepherd puppy. The breeder said it was the smartest puppy he'd ever seen, so naturally we named him Einstein.
Einstein and I were inseparable. By the time Einstein was 8 months old, he had never left my side at night. Initially, he had spent nights in his crate, one foot from our bedside. As the summer nights got increasingly hot, I let him sleep outside the crate. He happily obliged, curled up on the rug, where he could open an eye and verify that I was sleeping next to him.
When fall approached, the nights became increasingly cold beneath the window where he slept, so I purchased a dog bed for him. He was undeniably excited with his bed and relished the announcement of "bedtime!," at which he'd race upstairs and immediately bound into this padded "nest," curl up and sigh with pleasure.
It was shortly after he'd gotten his own bed that our 11-year-old daughter injured her foot while doing karate. X-rays showed that it wasn't broken, but she was sent home from the emergency room with crutches anyway. She was in great pain, and the novelty of using crutches had worn off before she'd made it home from the hospital.
Einstein, of course, had never seen crutches and couldn't understand what was happening. No amount of discouragement could keep him away from her. He interminably smelled the wooden crutches. He circled our daughter and followed her wherever she moved around the house, making it even more difficult for her to maneuver.
Nighttime came, and I helped my injured child into her bed where, exhausted, she almost immediately fell into a deep sleep. I called Einstein, and we went to bed in our room as usual. He obediently laid down. I was almost asleep when I heard him get up and walk away. That was so unusual that I sat up and watched to see where he was going. He headed directly to our daughter's room, and I heard him plop down. I waited a few minutes, then walked quietly down the hall to check on him. After all, he was still a puppy that chewed things.
He was lying, stretched out and at peace, on the floor at the bottom of her bed. I patted his head and returned to my own room. Einstein stayed in our daughter's room the entire night.
When the clock radio started playing in our room the morning, Einstein came scampering down the hall to greet us in his normal, happy manner: cold nose and wet slurp across the face.
He is a shepherd. And he had kept watch over the injured lamb all night.

$$\int_{-\infty}^\infty \text{e}^{\ a\ (x+b)^2}\ \text dx=\int_{-\infty}^\infty \text{e}^{\ a\ x^2}\ \text dx\ \ \ \ \ ?$$
hold, even if the imaginary part of $b$ is nonzero?
What I really want to understand is what the phrase "By analogy with the previous integrals" means in that link. There, the expression $\frac{J}{a}$ is complex but they seem to imply the integral can be solved like above anyway.
The reusult tells us that the integral is really independend of $J$, which is assumed to be real here. I wonder if we can also generalize this integral to include complex $J$. In case that the shift above is possible, this should work out.
But even if the idea is here to perform that substitution, how to get rid of the complex $a$ to obtain the result. If everything is purely real or imaginary, then this solves the rest of the problem.

Lady Raiders Fall to Eighth to Conclude UTSA Alamo Invitational
Kim Kaufman finished 3-over Tuesday during the final round of the UTSA Alamo Invitational.
Nov. 1, 2011
LUBBOCK, Texas - Following one of its best rounds of the season, the 20th-ranked Texas Tech women's golf team was unable to provide a repeat performance Tuesday, dropping to eighth place during the final round of the UTSA Alamo Invitational.
The Lady Raiders ripped through the Briggs Ranch Golf Club in San Antonio Monday, firing a 5-under card that was the second-lowest of the day. Things quickly changed Tuesday, though, as Tech finished with a 23-over 311 score that matched its season high and sent the Lady Raiders reeling after starting the day in fifth place.
"It was a hard round for us today," Tech head coach JoJo Robertson said. "Things didn't go our way for the most part, but we'll look forward to next week and try to finish the fall season the way we want to in Austin."
Kim Kaufman posted Tech's lowest round with a 3-over 75 card that left her a stroke out of the top 10 for the first time all season. The junior was sitting at even-par through 15 holes before bogeying the final three en route to finishing 3-over for the tournament and in a tie for 13th overall.
The Lady Raiders used only four scores over the final 18 holes as Deborah DeVilla added a 4-over round while Beverly Mendoza and Elin Arvidsson finished with 7-over and 9-over cards, respectively. Tech's lone remaining player, Gabby Dominguez, was disqualified late in the round.
Backed by the lowest score of the day, tournament-host UTSA claimed the team title as the Roadrunners finished 2-over and three strokes ahead of second-place Baylor. Tech wrapped the tournament 27-over and five strokes back of Texas State for seventh place.
The Lady Raiders return to the links in less than a week at the Texas State Challenge. The two-day tournament runs Nov. 7-8 at Onion Creek Country Club in Austin.

Watching old war movies, we expect firing a navy gun to be accompanied by a deafening bang and a dramatic cloud of burnt powder. This being the 21st century, the US Navy has other ideas as it prepares to install and test a prototype electromagnetic railgun on a Spearhead-class joint high speed vessel in 2016 as part of a program to develop the naval artillery of the future.Read More
Back in February, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) test-fired a prototype electromagnetic railgun that had been built by BAE Systems for the U.S. Navy. BAE isn't the only game in town, however – this Tuesday, ONR announced that it is now evaluating a second railgun prototype, made by San Diego-based General Atomics.Read More
The electromagnetic (EM) railgun prototype launcher that was recently installed at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Dahlgren, Virginia, has commenced firing, kicking off a two-month-long series of full-energy tests. Predictably, the first full energy shots make for some pretty impressive video.Read More
Think of the electromagnetic railgun as an electric cannon which uses electrical energy instead of chemical propellant to launch projectiles at hypervelocities. First conceived nearly a century ago, the concept was investigated by Germany during WWII, but has really only stepped out of science fiction and into reality in the last 12 months. With shells travelling at Mach 5 on impact, and accurate to within five metres at a 200 mile range, such weapons maximize the damage they do through kinetic energy, and hence don't need explosive payloads. Accordingly, they are ideal for naval warfare as they minimise the risk to warships which do not need to carry explosive warheads or propellants. Earlier this week, the US Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a USD 21 million 30-month contract to BAE Systems for the detailed design and delivery of an Innovative Naval Prototype (INP) Railgun. As previously warned, if the Daleks don't get here soon, they'll have a serious fight on their hands.Read More

Philly Mayor Apologies to Woman Punched by Police Officer, Who is Fired
October 5, 2012 08:13:25 am
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter extended a personal apology to the woman who was "cold-cocked" by Philadelphia Police Lt. Jonathan Josey in an incident that was captured on a cellphone video and gained national notoriety this week, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports The woman, Aida Guzman, 39, was "injured and humiliated at the hands of someone who knows better, or should have known better," said Nutter, who said he watched the YouTube video 20 times. "Every time I look at it, I am appalled, I am sickened, and I am ashamed on behalf of the good men and women of the Philadelphia Police Department," the mayor said at a news conference with Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey.
Nutter supported Ramsey's decision to fire Josey. Josey is a 19-year veteran of the department who was assigned to the Highway Patrol Unit. John McNesby, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5, has said that the union would appeal the decision and that he was optimistic that Josey would get his job back. Ramsey said it was possible Josey could face criminal count. Josey's punch bloodied Guzman's face and knocked her to the ground, hard. The incident was captured in a video recorded during a raucous, crowded celebration of the city's annual Puerto Rican Day Parade.

Your hair works hard all day long, from protecting your scalp from the sun to securing you dates. Doesn't your mane deserve a drink? Consider this conditioner from Oribe an end to Prohibition. Dried out strands will soak up this super-hydrating, tangle-fighting formula, which is designed to restore damaged hair to its glorious natural texture.
I love the Oribe Signature Conditioner - light but still moisturizing. Sadly, the tube packaging is ATROCIOUS in that the seam between the cap and tube literally split open when I hadn't even used half. I lose product out of the split seam every time I squeeze the tube - and this stuff isn't cheap! Redo your packaging, Oribe.3
I have long, curly, frizzy hair. This conditioner is the best I've ever used. After washing, I just air-dry without any product, and my hair is practically perfect. If I use anything else, I never get the same results--and end up using twice the product to tame my hair! Definitely recommend.5
I used the conditioner after the shampoo. I left it in for about a minute. It rinsed out easily. The smell matches the shampoo, which is pleasant, and not overly strong.
I noticed that my hair isn't limp and flat afterwards, which is great since I have very fine, thin hair. Overall, I'm pleased.
I hate / love that I found this. It is honestly the best conditioner/shampoo combo around. I have a lot of very fine/straight/long hair that can get pretty frizzy with humidity, rain, wind, really any weather condition. This is the first shampoo/conditioner that I have used that really works to tame the frizz, plus it leaves my hair so so so soft!!! I have tried other pricey brands, but this one is the best, and produces noticeable results (quickly I might add!!). My hate comes in because it is so much money, and I feel slightly guilty for spending so much on conditioner/shampoo, but truly, worth it!!! It'll be hard to get me to use anything else now that I've tried the best.5
