Flotrack.org Discusses The Husky Freshmen
SEATTLE - When the Husky cross country teams report to campus on Monday, the women's freshman class will have the distinction of being the top-ranked group in the nation. Flotrack.org finished unveiling its top-five women's recruiting classes today, and the young group of new Dawgs were pegged No. 1.
According to the website, there was little doubt as to who the top spot would go to. "[Washington's] class is far and away the best, no ifs, ands, or buts," said Flotrack.
The rest of the top-five was made up of No. 2 Virginia, No. 3 Stanford, No. 4 UCLA, and No. 5 Georgetown.
Flotrack highlighted incoming freshmen Megan Goethals, Katie Flood, Chloe Curtis, Megan Morgan, Liberty Miller, and Mackenzie Carter. The group comes to Seattle from all around the country with Goethals hailing from Michigan, Flood from Iowa, Carter from New York, and Curtis, Morgan, and Miller all from California.
Goethals is the Gatorade National Cross Country Athlete of the Year and won the 2009 Footlocker Cross Country National Championship along with a pair of 2-mile national titles on the track. Flood, Morgan, and Miller were all Top-20 finishers at Footlocker, and Flood also won the 2009 Nike Team Nationals individual championship as well as multiple Iowa State and Drake Relay titles.
Curtis is the California State Champ at 1,600-meters and also led the U.S. at 800-meters for much of the past season, while Miller and Morgan were the top two senior finishers at the California state meet over 3,200-meters, taking second and third, respectively. Carter's Fayetteville-Manlius high school won the team race at Nike Team Nationals and she also ran on FM's national champion 4x800-meter relay group in the spring.
Washington's cross country season begins a bit earlier this year with a special new dual meet against Washington State, held in Ephrata, Washington on September 3. The first home appearance for many of the new Huskies will be Sept. 18 with the Sundodger Invitational at Lincoln Park in West Seattle.

The Sun - May 9, 2013
This image was taken at the Phoebe Waterman Haas Public Observatory on May 9, 2013 at 12:25 pm EDT, with a hydrogen-alpha telescope.
Several prominences could be seen by visitors to the public observatory, including the large one seen on the right side of the image. Prominences are magnetic arcs along which plasma flows. There is also a large sunspot group near the largest prominence. Sunspots are magnetic storms on the sun. Surrounding the sunspot is a brighter area called a plage. These are bright clouds that float above the surface of the Sun.

there is no way to invade a country and dig out an entrenched military force without killing civilians.
I mean, what the hell...? This has nothing to do with Israel or their military's actions or suicide bombers from Palestine. OF COURSE Bush and his buds intended to kill Iraqi civilians! There was absolutley no way to invade Iraq without doing so! Hell-oooo...! They knew that all along, and they ignored international law to go in anyway. The US invasion has killed far more people than all the suicide bombings in Israel and 9/11 combined. What is your definition of "Evil" anyway? Al-Qaeda kills civilians it's evil, the US kills civilians it's not? Those people are dead either way.

D5200 1080p vs 1080i?

Re: D5200 1080p vs 1080i?
As someone pointed out, 60i is good for creating slow motion clips. The eye interprets roughly 18fps or so as smooth continuous movement. So at 30fps you can safely slow your footage down to just above half speed, but with 60fps you can really slow it down. There's a drawback, though, in that 60i has lower resolution, and in the end it's closer to 720p in quality.

Minor in Women's and Gender Studies
The minor in women's and gender studies is intended to give students a broad, interdisciplinary understanding of the ways in which gender interacts with race, age, class, and sexual orientation to shape human consciousness and the social, political, and cultural organization of society. In addition, the minor is intended to enrich the educational experience of students. It may also provide both men and women with tools for understanding and coping with the larger societal systems in which they must operate as both students and professionals. Because business and industry are increasingly sensitive to issues such as sex discrimination, sexual harassment, equal pay for comparable work, parental leave, and day care, students with a minor in women's studies will have a definite edge over other applicants for managerial and policy-making positions.

In ancient Hebrew letters it bears the inscription, "Belonging to Shema, servant of Jeroboam."

It is such a simple thing but one that completely revolutionized the world. It is an invention none of us would wish to be without. But transport yourself back to the moment the wheel was unveiled and you will no doubt see that some Luddite nearby was shaking his head, clucking his tongue, and mumbling, "There goes the neighborhood."

The Ligonier Valley Study Center Early Years
from Jack Rowley Jun 20, 2010 Category: Ministry NewsIn February 1970, Mrs. Dora Hillman, the widow of the industrial tycoon J. Hartwell Hillman, came to visit R.C. and Vesta Sproul in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mrs. Hillman was excited about R.C.'s teaching, with which she became acquainted through R.C.'s ministry as the associate pastor of teaching and evangelism at College Hill Presbyterian Church in Cincinnati. Mrs. Hillman, along with the heads of several different Christian ministries in the area of Pittsburgh, Penn., wanted to open a study and conference center featuring R.C. as its teaching theologian, and she offered fifty-two acres of property for such a center near Stahlstown, Penn., an hour east of Pittsburgh. R.C. was to train Christian leaders serving in organizations dedicated to reaching Pittsburgh for Christ. Thus, the Ligonier Valley Study Center was born. Keep Reading

Is your family prepared for an emergency? Floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, long power outages and wildfires are all examples of natural disasters and emergencies that could affect your family and your home at any time.
Don't let an emergency catch you off guard. While one can never be one hundred percent prepared, these tips will help keep your family safe for at least a three-day period following an emergency situation.
The Basics
Don't let the thought of assembling an emergency kit overwhelm you. It takes time and money to put together adequate emergency supplies. First start with the basics.
- One gallon water per person for three days
- Three-day supply of non-perishable food per person
- First aid kit
- Flashlight When buying food items, try to choose foods that people in your family will enjoy so that in an emergency situation they can have food that is familiar to them. Children, especially, will be comforted by familiar foods.
Make sure to include a hand operated can opener in your kit so that you can easily open canned goods. And if you're including food that needs to be heated in order to be edible, like pasta and rice, you'll need a propane camp stove. Of course, there are many options that are ready-to-eat, can be eaten cold if need be, or are simple just-add-water dishes.
Note: While having a three-day supply of food and water is a good start, The Red Cross recommends that you have a three-day supply of food ready to take with you in case you have to evacuate your home, and a two-week supply for your home.
Extra Supplies
Beyond the basics such as food and water, think about what else your family might need if you could not go to the store for at least three days. Three days doesn't seem like very long, but if you have an infant who needs diapers or formula, you want to make sure that you don't run out during that three-day period. You also don't want your pets to go hungry. Here are a few examples of extra items you might include in your emergency kit:
- Personal hygiene items
- Three-day supply of pet food
- Baby formula
- Diapers
- Fire extinguisher
- Multi-purpose tool
- Activities for kids
- Map of the area
- Extra cash -Lantern, candles and matches or lighter -Battery-operated radio
Important Records
You should keep copies of your important records in your emergency kit so that they can be taken with you if you ever have to evacuate your home. The last thing you want to do when disaster strikes is spend hours on the phone tracking down important records.
Copies of insurance policies, bank account statements, birth certificates, immunization records, passports, etc., should be stored in waterproof containers. You can download a free financial record organizer from the FEMA web site.
First Aid Kit
Every family emergency kit should include a first aid kit. You can either purchase a pre-made kit, or assemble your own. A basic first aid kit should include:
- Sterile gloves
- Antibiotic ointment
- Burn cream
- Adhesive bandages
- Thermometer
- Prescribed medications
- Pain reliever
- Scissors
- Tweezers
It is a good idea to have a book that describes first aid techniques just in case you ever need it. It is even a better idea for at least one person in your family to be familiar with CPR and first aid. Most communities offer CPR and first aid classes.
Car Emergency Kit
Of course, you aren't necessarily going to be home when encountering a major problem, so you should keep an emergency kit in your car, too. This will be a smaller version of your home emergency kit, and can be kept in a backpack or duffel bag.
Make sure to keep snacks and bottles of water in your car, in addition to a first aid kit, flashlight, hand sanitizer, large garbage bag, kleenex, pen and paper, etc.
If you have room in your car, it is also a good idea to keep a sleeping bag and/or old blanket in the car in case your car breaks down during the winter time. You should also have a small tool kit, jumper cables, and spare fuses. Of course, a AAA membership can help in most circumstances... so long as roads are passable and the nearest service vehicle isn't far away!
Maintaining Your Emergency Kit
Store canned food in a cool dry location with no direct sunlight. Boxed foods need to be stored inside of secure containers so that pests and rodents can't get into the boxes.
Rotate foods and use them before they expire, replacing them with new items. Water should be used and replaced every six months. Make a point of "shopping" from your food stash every few months so that you never have to worry about stored food getting too old.
Every year it is a good idea to reevaluate your family's needs and make any necessary adjustments to your emergency kit. For instance medication needs may have changed, or your children may no longer wear diapers. It is a good idea to keep your emergency items in a container that is easily transported, such as a clean garbage can with a lid, or large plastic bins. That way if you need to leave your home you can take all your supplies with you.
Family Disaster Plan
Does your family know what to do in an emergency? Similar to a fire escape plan, you also need to have a family disaster plan. Have a designated place outside your home to meet.
You should also designate a location just outside your community where your family can meet in case you are not able to return home or your town is evacuated for any reason. Map out two or three different routes to get to the designated location in case roads are blocked or congested with traffic.
Talk to your family about their responsibilities in an emergency situation. Give everyone an assigned task so that everyone knows what to do if an emergency arises. Explain that everyone should work together as a team to complete their assigned tasks.
Make sure that everyone in the family has emergency contact information stored in their cell phones. In addition, keep a list of important phone numbers in your family emergency kit.
These guidelines will help get you on the right track when assembling your family's first emergency kit. For further reading, make sure to check out the Red Cross web site, which has a lot of great tips and ideas so that you can get more information you might need to keep your family safe should an emergency or disaster situation ever occur.

Dallas 21, Carolina 7: Newman's Pick-6 Secures Win (But Not Garrett's Reputation)
For about seven minutes in the fourth quarter, it looked questionable whether Jason Garrett would ever serve as an offensive coordinator again, let alone as a head coach. With the Cowboys leading 10-7 early in the fourth quarter and having moved the ball from the Dallas 26 to the Carolina 1, Dallas faced a second-and-goal. […]Full Story »
Most Favor the Cowboys to Beat Carolina
The Cowboys head into Monday night's game with Carolina as heavy favorites. Most experts predict a Dallas win, and many think that Dallas will cover the 9.5-point spread. The last time that Dallas faced Carolina was in week 16 of the 2007 season. The Cowboys' 20-13 win over the Panthers helped Dallas to keep pace […]Full Story »

Slacker is the second mission of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and is given to the protagonist Toni Cipriani by Vincenzo Cilli.
The mission begins with Toni entering Vincenzo's warehouse in Atlantic Quays. Vincenzo tells Toni of a dealer who has not been working the Leone patch in Chinatown. Vincenzo also says that there are parallels between them, indirectly calling Toni a chicken-shit. Vincenzo sends Toni to find the dealer and take him to his patch.
Toni finds the dealer in Saint Mark's, opposite Salvatore Leone's Gentleman's Club. The dealer makes excuses, which Toni ignores. Toni takes the dealer to Chinatown, where the dealer finally admits he is scared off being killed by members of the Sindacco Family, who have taken the area over.
Vincenzo Cilli: We've got a dealer, working out North Chinatown patch. That lazy bastard ain't brought any cash in, in days. Maybe he needs some encouragement to get off his ass and do some work. Acting like a bitch... he kinda reminds me of you.
Toni Cipriani: What are you trying to say?
Vincenzo Cilli: I ain't TRYING to say nothing! I'm telling you to get over there and make sure this asshole starts bringing in some god damn money!
(Toni Cipriani drives to the dealer, who is in Saint Marks, opposite Salvatore Leone's Gentleman's Club).
Toni Cipriani: So, Vincenzo tells me you're too chicken-shit to work your patch?
Dealer: Hey man! I'm no chicken-shit! I... er... been ill is all! I'll go back tomorrow... or, maybe, the day after.
Toni Cipriani: Oh, I think you're going to work today... like it or not!
(Toni drives the dealer to the Leone Family patch in Chinatown).
Dealer: Oh, man... I don't feel too good... I think I might have a fevor or something. I told Vinnie already... Chinatown's no go for the Leones now! The Sindaccos are moving in! If I go there, I'm a dead man!
Toni Cipriani: Sure... Sure...
Dealer: I'm telling you, man! The Sindaccos are dealing.
The monetary reward for completion of Slacker is $100. Completion of the mission unlocks the next mission for Vincenzo, Dealing Revenge.

Saints outlook
Level of need: Medium
Current depth chart: Jermon Bushrod, Ben Grubbs, Brian de la Puente, Jahri Evans, Zach Strief, Charles Brown, Matt Tennant, Pat McQuistan, Fenuki Tupou, Phil Trautwein, Nick Howell.
Outlook: The Saints are set along the starting front line, but they could use some quality depth to tutor in backup roles. With Bushrod entering the last year of his contract and Brown still unproven, the Saints could use their third-round pick on an offensive lineman in hopes of hitting another home run like they did on Evans, Bushrod and former All-Pro guard Carl Nicks.
A look at the top offensive linemen in this year's draft class
Matt Kalil, OT
Southern Cal, 6-7, 306
Kalil is the top-rated offensive-line prospect in the draft and is expected to be a top-five pick. He has ideal size with long arms and could be a franchise left tackle. Kalil was an All-America selection, his brother is a Pro Bowl center, and his father is a former USFL offensive lineman. He helped USC average 456.8 yards total offense and was part of an offensive line that allowed only eight sacks. He ran a 4.99-second 40-yard dash and bench-pressed 225 pounds 30 times at the NFL Combine.
Riley Reiff, OT
Iowa, 6-6, 313
An early entry into the draft, Reiff was first-team All-Big Ten. He started 33 consecutive games at left tackle, right tackle and left guard. He ran a 5.23 40 at the Combine and had 23 bench-press reps. He arrived at Iowa as a top tight end/defensive end prospect but moved to guard after he grew from 250 to 280 pounds before the 2009 season. He eventually developed into a 313-pound behemoth, and his athletic ability allowed for a move to left tackle. Some scouts have questions about the length of Reiff's arms (33 ½ inches), but it shouldn't be enough to keep him out of the first round.
David Decastro, OG
Stanford, 6-5, 316
An All-America selection, he is the consensus top guard prospect after helping open holes for Stanford to average more than 200 yards rushing in each of the past two seasons. DeCastro was a finalist for the Outland Trophy, given annually to the best lineman in the country. He was all-conference each of the past two seasons. He showed his strength at the Combine with 34 reps in the bench press. In his three years as a starter, the Stanford offensive line allowed just 24 sacks.
Cordy Glenn, OT
Georgia, 6-6, 345
Glenn tied a school record with 50 starts, including 28 at left guard, 18 at left tackle and four at right guard. He could play guard or tackle in the NFL. He was used at left tackle in Senior Bowl workouts. Scouts are intrigued with his size/speed/strength combination. He was one of the largest offensive linemen at the Combine. But he proved to be more than just a big guy when he ran the 40 in 4.96 seconds. He also had 31 bench-press reps, an impressive feat for a player with 36-inch arms.
Jonathan Martin, OT
Stanford, 6-5, 312
A standout left tackle, Martin declared for the draft after his junior season. He was all-conference in each of the past two seasons and was the cornerstone of an offensive line that yielded just nine sacks last season. Despite stellar accomplishments during his college career, Martin has suffered from sub-par performances leading up to the draft. He had just 20 reps on the bench press and ran a 5.33-second wind-aided 40 at his pro day. Still, he's expected to be a late first-round pick.
Mike Adams, OT
Ohio State, 6-7, 323
Adams had his moments at Ohio State, at times looking like a dominant tackle, but other times he was underwhelming. Still, scouts are intrigued by his size and ability to get to the second level of the defense. But there are concerns about his health and character. In 2008, he had shoulder surgery and then a season-ending left-foot injury. He missed five games in 2009 with a knee injury and was suspended for two games for violating team rules. He was one of five players suspended the first five games last season for receiving improper benefits for selling memorabilia.
Kevin Zeitler, OG
Wisconsin, 6-4, 314
Zeitler was extremely productive in his final season at Wisconsin, where he was All-Big Ten. According to NFL Draft Report statistics, he led college football with 142 knockdown blocks and had 33 blocks that resulted in touchdowns. Zeitler did 32 reps in the bench press at the Combine and ran the 40 in 5.39 seconds. He is likely an early second-round pick.
All-Americans: First team: Kalil, Zeitler, Decastro and David Molk, Michigan.
Award winners: Molk (Remington Trophy).
Best underclassman: Kalil.
Potential first-round picks: Kalil, Decastro, Glenn, Martin, Adams.
Sleeper: James Brown, Troy.

Justin Harris is the Georgia father accused of intentionally leaving his 22-month old son in his car while he went to work. Harris has been charged with eight counts in relation to the death of his son Cooper including felony murder and cruelty to children. According to NBC News on Thursday, if convicted for the hot car death of his son, Justin Harris faces the death penalty.
Harris told investigators that the June 18 death of his son was accidental. He recounted the day, saying that he and his son enjoyed Chik-Fil-A for breakfast and that he forgot to drop Cooper off at his daycare. Instead he drove to work, parked and forgot that his toddler son was still inside the car.
Prosecutors argue that the death was not accidental at all. Evidence that Harris searched for information online about how long it takes to die inside a hot car prior to the incident is a major theme in this case. Prosecutors also allege that Justin and his wife Leanna were having marital problems. They say that Harris was sexting with as many as six other women, some of which he contacted while his son was dying inside the family vehicle.
Justin Harris has other charges against him that are unrelated to the death of his son. The Cobb County grand jury indictment includes charges that the 32-year old man was communicating with multiple other women, some of which were underage. He has been charged with dissemination of harmful material to minors for allegedly sexting lewd pictures to underage girls and also has been charged with criminal attempt to commit a felony for the sexual exploitation of a minor. Justin's wife Leanna has not been charged in the death of her son Cooper.

The One That Got Away: Schwinn Sting-Ray
We here at Car Lust have batted around the idea every now and then of doing an occasional series called "The One That Got Away": Vehicles that we either had and let slip away or ones that we had a chance to buy but neglected to take the plunge on. . . .until it was too late. We've never quite gotten around to formally deciding to, well, take the plunge with the idea (irony duly noted), but I figured I might as well start it off anyway, jumping on the Way-Back Machine and starting with the very first one that got away for me.
This is one of my biggest regrets in life (which probably says something about me, I suppose): that of all the bikes I had as a kid, I always wanted a Sting-Ray but never got one. I suppose this is sort of off the beaten path as far as Car Lust is concerned, but I imagine most of us got our first taste of the freedom that your own set of wheels provides from our bikes. I further imagine that this might be a generational thing: Back when I was a kid, nearly everyone had a bike. We rode them everywhere: to school and back (unsupervised!), to the swimming pool in the summer (unsupervised!), to our friends' houses (unsupervised!), to the Dairy Queen (unsupervised!), and pretty much all over town all day nearly every day in the summer (unsupervised!). There was no such thing as a "play date" and the only time we didn't walk or get driven to school or wherever was when the weather was too cold or raining or snowing or some such. Otherwise, our bikes were our transportation, our favorite toy, our imaginary motorcycle, or anything else the young mind can come up with.
And when I was a kid in Wisconsin in the late '60s and early '70s, the Sting-Ray was the bike to have. Sadly, I never had one and made do with a string of largely forgettable two wheelers that to this day probably foreshadowed my eventual string of largely forgettable cars.
Schwinn had been producing bicycles since 1895, but up until the 1950s you wouldn't have known it: They sold the bulk of their bikes to stores who then labeled them as their own store brand and sold them that way. Starting in 1952, Schwinn began branding their products as Schwinns and getting those stores to sell them as such, often as their exclusive brand. Eventually they dominated the market, at least for youth models.
And then in 1963 they dropped the bomb: The Sting-Ray. Whoa. Not just a couple of wheels with a seat in the middle, the seat was directly over the back wheel and was long -- a banana seat, they called it. And the handlebars didn't just kind of stick out to the side, they curved upwards. Supposedly, they were modeled after the low-riders, dragsters, and custom motorcycles of the day, but whatever the source the Sting-Ray was distinctly different from everything else on the market, at least in the way it looked. As a bicycle, it wasn't all that much different from other bicycles: it had a single speed and basic coaster brakes. It didn't appeal much to adults, but kids ate it up.
Schwinn, much like Ford was doing at the same time with the Mustang, also offered a bunch of accessories that you could add to your bike to make it more uniquely yours: streamers for the ends of the handlebars, side-view mirrors, different colored seats, and a basket on the front for the ladies. Plus you could modify it yourself: pull the handelbars back and you'd have yourself a chopper; push them forward and you'd have yourself a. . . .well, I don't know what, but I remember a lot of kids doing that.
Then in 1968 they brought out. . . .The Krate. The ultimate Sting-Ray. It was da bomb. The front wheel was smaller than the back, and it had a shock absorber for the seat. It had dual caliper brakes (just like a motorcycle!), and multiple gears. . .with a stick shift on the bar! On top of that, they made several different specialty models including the original Orange Krate, the Apple Krate (bright red), the Grey Ghost, the Cotton Picker (white with lots of chrome), the Manta Ray (larger wheels), and the Ram's Horn (curled racing handlebars). See several examples at First Flight Bicycles, but watch your wallet if you're feeling nostalgic. Sadly, the Stik-Shift was banned in 1974, but by 1970 Schwinn had sold over a million Krates.
Sales started to fade in the late '70s as BMX-style bikes started to become more popular. By that time I had moved on to a 10-speed touring bike called the Schwinn Continental II (which I still have, btw), a derivative of the Varsity that you can see in the ad above. But no, I never had a Sting-Ray. At the time it was a fairly pricey little bicycle and that wasn't something that my parents were willing spend much money on, especially seeing as how I was pretty hard on bikes at the time. I remember having a neat 3-speed tourer for a time (which I trashed), a clunky old black thing that I painted gold (which I trashed), and then a green BMX type that I tried my darndest to trash but couldn't. And so I left childhood behind never having been one of the cool kids with a tricked-out Sting-Ray.
Baby Boomer nostalgia has been making old Sting-Rays into collectors items, many in mint condition going for up to $4,000, with rumors of some going even higher. I can understand the motivation, as lately I've taken to buying vintage stereo gear from my youth. But I don't think I'll be buying a Sting-Ray anytime soon, never mind the money: vintage speakers I can listen to and enjoy; not sure I'd want to be seen out riding an old Sting-Ray around the neighborhood even if I could swing it size-wise.
Schwinn brought back the Sting-Ray in 2004, this time making it look more like a motorcycle than ever before. But times have changed and I doubt it had the same impact as the original. I'm not sure what it's like in the rest of the country, but here in Seattle you don't see too many kids just out riding their bikes around much, at least not outside of their own immediate neighborhood. Some of that's no doubt due to the urban nature of this area, but I think the days of the youth bicycle culture are long gone, as much due to video games as our helicopter parent culture. Back in the day during the summer, we'd often leave the house in the morning and spend nearly the whole day just riding our bikes around and goofing off. My mom wanted to sort of know what we were planning and who with, but otherwise we'd just go and amuse ourselves most of the time. Somehow the words "Mom, I'm going out and I'll be back for dinner" don't seem to me to be spoken much any more. Nowadays it seems as if not knowing exactly where your kid is, who they're with, and what they're doing 24/7/365 will get you a visit from Child Protective Services.
But whatever. I don't really ride the old Schwinn much anymore, mostly because Seattle is very hilly, very rainy, and very full of cars, not to mention that I don't much care to show up at work sweating like a pig from a long bike ride. At the moment it's hanging upside down in the garage waiting for me to completely overhaul it so I can at least ride it every now and then in the summer. We've had a lot of adventures, my Continental II and I, but, you know, I'll always have a bit of unrequited Lust for the Sting-Ray and always wonder. . .what if. . . .

Ticks are small insects that live in grass, bushes, wooded areas, and seashores. They attach their bodies onto a human or animal host and prefer hairy areas such as the scalp, behind the ear, in the armpit and groin, and also between fingers and toes. Tick bites often occur at night and occur more in the spring and summer months.
Regardless of how careful you are about animals in your home, or how many precautions you take when your child is outdoors playing, animal and insect bites and stings are sometimes unavoidable.
By remaining calm and knowing some basic first aid techniques, you can help your child overcome both the fear and the trauma of bites and stings.

Amazing StraightenerThis is an excellent choice for a straightener, its less expensive than some of the other models and works just as well. It heats up super fast and has multiple settings so depending what youre doing super high heat isnt forced on you. It left my hair straight very fast (faster than most salon folks can get it done in) and very soft. I have curly and thick hair that takes a lot of work to straighten and this product took that work out of the equation. I also like the wider plates because my hair is so thick it makes it faster to straighten with. It snagged my hair once but only when I pulled an excessively large clump through and Ive yet to find a straightener that DIDNT snag (Im tender headed though).Jan 12, 2009Cally / North Carolina

Great Iron!I am still unsure about the content of the plates (pure ceramic?) but the product is great. What I like most about it is the extra long plates and its really lightweight and easy to handle. I think I like this more than my $100 CHI. In my pic, my hair had been washed, conditioned, airdried and then flat ironed with just a heat protectant spray. I rated it 4 stars because idk if the plates are ceramic or just coated.Jan 9, 2009Cheezi / The Sandbox

Broke After A Year And A Half.I used to LOVE this straightner. But one day after doing my hair, it turned off. I turned it back on, and it would cut of every 5 minutes. And now when i turn it on, i have to press the button at least 50 times. So now im getting a new straightner, which would be that red conair steam straightner. The reviews on that are exellent, and hopefully it wont break (:Dec 3, 2008Marina / Alabama

Love It!I have gone through many straighteners including chi, solia, hot tools, etc, but this particular conair straightener is amazing! It really does make my hair feel so smooth and shiny afterwards and makes it straight that actually lasts. I would rate this best, but a couple of days ago my conair straightener began to not heat up, I changed outlets and even used electrical tape, but that didnt work so unfortuantly I do have to buy a new one :/Nov 15, 2008Stephanie

Buy It!This straightener is a life saver. i straighten my hair almost everyday before school and it works great. I have unruly, super curly hair and i can finish straightening it in less than 20 min. Make sure that u do not wrap the cord around it b/c it can cause it to randomly turn off, but it totally still works. If u r worried about frying ur hair, u r fine. There are different levels to put it on and it is amazing. I have had it for over 1 1/2 years and it has been satisfactory from the get go! this is one of the best straighteners on the market!Sep 5, 2008Mary / AlabamaHAIR TYPECurly Hair

Incredible Flat Iron For A Great PriceI have been looking for a flat iron for a long time now and when i went to the local shoppers I saw this one and i have heard about it. So i went home and i did some research and the reviews impressed me. It made my hair very shiny and incredibly soft although it was soft before its even more soft now. I wary people that only to put a smal section of hair at a time or some hair will get caught on the end of the flat iron. i am quite impressed with this conair product. There is no need to buy a "miracle" flat iron! For this one will meet your needs if you have nice hair wavy to somewhat straight to having loose curls. I also love the case> Genious you dont even have to wait till it cools since the mat and the case is heat resistan tbut use the tabs to seperate the cord and the iron to prevent melting. Oh and the thing will shut itself off after 60 minutes if you leave it and forget. Still not recomended to leave it but ya a great product. I would suggest this product.Jul 28, 2008Anonymous

Salon Results!! I'm Excited!I bought this product on Saturday and today I have salon results with this great Conair Infinity Nano Silver Hair Straightener! I have to say I was a little weary about it due to the cost and the first time I tried it I had it on the lowest setting because Im always worried about frying my fine wavy hair. This setting was not quite high enough because I wasnt impressed with the results. Today though, I stepped up to the next higher setting [310] and it was perfect! I looked in the mirror when I finished and I was totally impressed! It looked like I just walked out of the salon with a professional result, shine and all! I highly recommend this product even with the higher price, I just hope it has longevity!Jun 24, 2008Claudia / Anderson, SC

Ugh.Well my hair is really frizzy and kinky and likes to flip out. Since my hair is really short, i need it really straight to look good. this product just doesnt deliver! I would say that the straightening didnt even last 5 mintues, but it didnt even last that long! While i would straighten the other side of my hair, the previous side would star to curve under. It looks so stupid! So i would not suggest this product. And if you live in a humid place DO NOT buy this. One walk outside and fwoom! Back to stage one frizzy unruly hair. But I do suggest chi, my sister has one and I used it and it works great! :]Jun 17, 2008Christine / Florida

How a US Citizen Should Address an Ambassador of the United States of AmericaIf you are looking for foreign ambassador to the US, here's that form. If you are looking for retired or former US ambassador, here's that form. These are the correct forms for a US citizen to address a US ambassador. Outside the USA it is also correct for foreign residents to address a US ambassador with these styles, but is also correct for foreign national to use the international diplomatic form for addressing current accredited ambassadors. There are a number of ways to address a US ambassador to a foreign nation depending the situation: United States Ambassador at Post outside the Western Hemisphere United States Ambassador at Post in the Western Hemisphere United States Ambassador away from his or her Post
How to Address a Current US Ambassador at PostExcept in the Western Hemisphere
Envelope, official: The Honorable (Full name) American Ambassador (Address)
Letter salutation: Dear Mr./Madam Ambassador:
How to Address a Current US Ambassador at Post In the Western Hemisphere
Envelope, official: The Honorable (Full name) Ambassador of the United States of America (Address)Letter salutation: Dear Mr./Madam Ambassador:
How to Address a Current US Ambassador Away from PostNote: Use Ambassador of the United States of America in the Western Hemisphere. Use American Ambassador elsewhere.
Envelope, official: The Honorable (Full name) American Ambassador to (country) * See NOTE Above (Address)Letter salutation: Dear Mr./Madam Ambassador:

FYI, here is what's come in to the Blog that relates to this office/rank. For recent questions sent in, check out Robert Hickey's Blog. For specific offices/ranks, check out Robert Hickey's On-Line Guide.
Dear Ms. Bentley: A retired US ambassador is addressed by US citizens on the envelope and in the address block of the letter in the standard style used for high US officials: The Honorable (Full Name) (Address) If he (or she) was a career diplomat – someone who spent their career as a diplomat and is now retired, in the salutation or conversation he/she would be addressed as: Dear Ambassador (Surname), Traditionally only career ambassadors … retired career foreign service officers … are Ambassador (surname) in a salutation or conversation in retirement. Political appointees -- those appointed to a post and go immediately back to private life after their service – revert to whatever honorific to which they were entitled before serving as an ambassador. I am not saying you don't encounter individuals who briefly served as an ambassador seeking to be addressed as "Ambassador" – you do. But that's not the tradition. So if he/she was a political appointee who served once as ambassador, traditionally you would use the honorific which the individual used for the bulk of their career: Dear Mr./Ms./Dr./Senator/etc. (Surname), -- Robert Hickey
How to Address an Ambassador: Your Excellency? or The Honorable?I see some ambassador's names written as The Honorable (full name) and others as His Excellency (full name). Which is correct? The ambassador who is coming is the French Ambassador. How should I write his name? ~ The Diva of DiplomatsDear Diva: 1) An ambassador of the United States is addressed by US citizens as: The Honorable (full name) The Ambassador of the United States of America (Address) The form -- the Honorable -- is used because US citizens formally address their own officials as the Honorable (Full Name). 2) Any foreign ambassador is addressed as: His/Her Excellency (full name) The Ambassador of (official name of country) (Address) Form #2 is standard around the world for addressing ambassadors. Even US ambassadors are addressed as His/Her/Your Excellency when they serve abroad by citizens of the countries in which they are serving. Thus, the French Ambassador to the USA is addressed as: His Excellency (full name) The Ambassador of the French Republic (Address) -- Robert Hickey
How to Address AmbassadorsAt-Post and Back Home? We are doing an overview of usage of the title Your Excellency to the Ambassadors (of the State and accredited to the country) when accompanying their Heads of State or Government abroad. I would like to know - 1) Would you address your Ambassador (USA ambassador accredited in UK) with "Your Excellency" when taking part of the official visit by the President of the USA to UK? 2) Would you address UK Ambassador accredited in USA with "Your Excellency" when taking part of the official visit by the President of the USA to UK? -- Tina
Dear Tina, FYI, your questions are answered in my book in the chapter on Diplomats and International Officials. 1) Foreign ambassadors at-post In the US we follow the standard international practice of addressing accredited current ambassadors ... from one head of state to another head of state ... as "His Excellency John Jones," "Her Excellency Mary Jones," "Your Excellency" or "Ambassador Jones" the last being the least formal. 2) Foreign ambassadors when back home in their own country In the US, US citizens follow our standard practice of using "The Honorable" for everyone appointed by The President. So we address US ambassadors as "The Honorable Henry Smith" or "Mr. Ambassador" or "Ambassador Smith" ... the last being the least formal. Your questions: Would you address your Ambassador (USA ambassador accredited in UK) with Your Excellency when taking part of the official visit by the President of the USA to UK? I would as a US citizen address a US Ambassador would "The Honorable Henry Smith" or "Mr. Ambassador" or "Ambassador Smith" I would not use the British spelling of "Honourable" just because we were in the UK ... since the nicest way to write a name is the way one sees it at home ... which would be "Honorable" Would you address UK Ambassador accredited in USA with Your Excellency when taking part of the official visit by the President of the USA to UK? I would as a US citizen always address a UK ambassador as "His Excellency John Jones" "Your Excellency" or "Ambassador Jones" the last being the least formal. -- Robert Hickey
How To Address Two Officials Addressed as The Honorable on an Envelope?Please tell me what the joint salutation would be for married officials, both addressed as "The Honorable" (in this case they are both U.S. ambassadors) with different last names. Am I correct in that the mail names would be ... The Honorable Jack G. Small and The Honorable Ann K. Jones -- Debbie
Dear Debbie: Yes ... that is perfect. Each gets their full name spelled out on their own line. Next question is whose name is listed first? You listed Jack Small. Officially the one who became an ambassador earlier has higher precedence ... and would be listed first ... unless you are writing to one of them at their post ... and an ambassador at his or her post has the higher precedence. -- Robert Hickey
How a Should Non-US Citizen Address an American Ambassador ? I am writing an invitation letter to the ambassador of the United States to Japan. According to your book the ambassador should be addressed by US citizens as The Honorable John V. Roos. But I am a Japanese citizen. I will be writing to him in care of the US Embassy in Tokyo. Should I address him as The Honorable John V. Roos as the U.S. citizens do? Or should I address him as His Excellency John. V. Roos? ~ T. SuzukiDear T. Suzuki: Using The Honorable would be honoring his tradition -- would be how a US citizen would address him -- and how he would expect to be addressed in the USA. It is not wrong for you to use it. Using The Excellency will follow the international custom -- and how he would expect to be addressed outside the USA and in Japan. Both are correct, but use Excellency since you are in Japan and are a Japanese citizen. -- Robert Hickey
Not Finding Your Question Answered?Below are other topics covered in my blog and at right is a list of officials, Between the two I probably have what you are looking for.
