Whether you live in San Diego or Cleveland, every beach-lover should be able to enjoy the perfect hair that results from a seaside jaunt. Thankfully, the same wavy and effortless hair can be found in a bottle. Whatever word you want to use—maritime, tousled, or vibrant—the effect is one to savor.
I'm pleased with this product. I have really straight hair and I'm always looking for something to add some body/texture to it without too much hold. This does the job. I do think it dries my hair out more than expected (alcohol is one of the ingredients...the other major one being salt water) but it does remind me of my hair after a day at the lake.4
I never used to air-dry my hair because it would just look limp and unkempt. Forget curl cream, I use this stuff to air-dry my hair and it gives my curls such great natural definition. It's a little pricey but has probably saved me hours in blow-drying time.5
I randomly was able to get my hands on this product and my hair has never been more grateful for awesome beachy waves. I have slightly wavy hair. I usually curly it they spritz this on my curls and it just adds the right extra touch that I had been missing in my hair routine. I wasn't a believer in any sea salt sprays until this came along!5

Marta is a recurring minor character on Frasier. She is the maid to Maris and Niles Crane. In the first season, it is said she was seventy-eight years old. This puts her birth date at around 1915 or 1916, making her almost ninety at her last appearance. She was born in Guatemala, and fluently speaks Spanish and German. She learned German when she worked for a German family 'who showed up in Guatemala after the war'. She becomes Marta the Mole for Niles when he is kicked out the house. One Halloween, Niles mentions that she is severely arachnophobic. Marta is played by Irene Olga López.

A state dinner was held for French President Francois Hollande on Tuesday. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama sat Hollande betweem them, as he attended alone - following the highly publicized breakup from his "first lady" Valerie Trierweiler, according to a Fox News report on Wednesday. Trierweiler left him after there were tabloid reports of the French president seeing actress Julie Gayet.
The guest list for reportedly the biggest social event of President Obama's second term, so far, was with a huge number of celebrities and Democratic financial donors, as well as politicians and business persons. Naturally, some of the large donors to Obama's political causes and business icons are one in the same person.
The report asserts that celebrities who were at the affair included Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mindy Kailing, Bradley Cooper, Stephen Colbert, and non-celebrity yet well-known Obama supporter Al Sharpton. As per usual, approximately 25 of President Obama's hefty campaign donors and donors to the Democratic Party were in attendance at the chic event, including Irwin Jacobs of Qualcomm Inc. who donated more than $2 million to super PACs that were promoting the president.
Mary J. Blige, an apparent Obama favorite and Obama supporter, sang at the event.
The event with some 350 persons in attendance, was held in a heated pavilion on the South Lawn of the White House. The four-course dinner reportedly was of American cuisine which included dry-aged rib eye beef, Jasper Hill Farm blue cheese, and a creamy ganache cake with a micro-thin layer of chocolate that was put on the cape with a paint sprayer.
Reportedly, Vice President Joe Biden was seated next to star Julia Louis-Dreyfus of the television show "Veep" which is a show about a fictional vice president - suggesting that whoever was in charge of the seating arrangements for the evening has a great sense of humor. They were at the opposite end of the room from the Obamas and Hollande.
Under the Obama administration since 2009, these state dinners have cost from a bit over $200,000 to $575,000, according to the State Department Office of Protocol.

"A Million Ways to Die in the West" is now playing in theaters.
Set in Arizona in 1882, "A Million Ways to Die in the West" follows a sheep farmer named Albert Stark (Seth MacFarlane) who has no idea how to fire a gun and loses every ounce of confidence he has when his girlfriend Louise (Amanda Seyfried) leaves him for a pompous, well-groomed gentleman named Foy (Neil Patrick Harris).
With Albert's devoted Christian friend Edward (Giovanni Ribisi) and his promiscuous brothel working girlfriend Ruth (Sarah Silverman) with him every step of the way, Albert finds a new sense of purpose after meeting Anna (Charlize Theron); the new girl in town. Unfortunately for Albert, Anna is connected to the most dangerous gunslinger in the Wild West; Clinch Leatherwood (Liam Neeson).
MacFarlane's follow-up to "Ted" isn't nearly as good as his feature film debut. While the two films are very different, "A Million Ways to Die in the West" fails to have any big laughs and is worth nothing more than a chuckle or two at best.
The highlight of the film is the amount of cameos this western comedy is able to cram into its nearly two hour duration; Dennis Haskins from "Saved by the Bell," Gilbert Gottfried, Bill Maher, Alex Borstein, Ryan Reynolds, Patrick Stewart, and even Jamie Foxx appear in small roles. There's even a nod to "Back to the Future" that is hands down the best part of the film.
Albert's freak out sequence after the pot cookie is fairly entertaining and the mustache song is catchier than it has any right to be. The slavery shooting gallery is sure to be a talking point for the film, but aside from the cameos Neil Patrick Harris is the funniest member of the cast. His corny jokes followed by his ridiculous laugh are pretty funny at times and his love for his mustache just sends the Foy character completely into outrageous territory.
The biggest mistake "A Million Ways to Die in the West" makes is the same mistake "Family Guy" tends to make on a weekly basis; most of the jokes go on much longer than they should. "Family Guy" has made it a point to drag certain jokes out for several minutes, entire episodes, and sometimes even having jokes that are stretched out over several weeks and spanning a number of episodes. "A Million Ways to Die in the West" takes the same approach, but it results in the setups to the jokes revealing way too much causing the execution and follow-up humor to be almost painful.
Being R-rated and using gross out humor is one thing, but Seth MacFarlane skips putting that protective toilet seat cover down and decides to just spread urine and fecal matter all over his audience without remorse. "A Million Ways to Die in the West" covers every bodily fluid including urine, feces, and semen and that doesn't even cover the amount of farts in the film.
What's unfortunate is that the Edward and Albert characters are very easy to relate to. Edward is a different spin on the nice guy character and like all nice guys he finishes last by being the last guy in town to finally have sex. Meanwhile Albert can't seem to catch a break even though he's a good guy living in a town that kills its inhabitants with absolutely everything under the sun. Albert is screwed so he kind of just gives up on life until he meets the girl of his dreams.
Speaking as someone who enjoys toilet humor, it's a sad day when you have to come into a theater with moist towelettes, determine if the toilet seat is in fact down, and exclaim that enough is enough. "A Million Ways to Die in the West" spends more time trying to push the buttons of its audience rather than entertaining it. The comedy is amusing in small doses, but as a whole it's about three horseshoes away from being an atrocity to the comedy genre.

Sara Nics Named New Announcer!
Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know? welcomes Sara Nics to the announcer's seat
After searching the airwaves for the right voice to chime in with, "That's one right, Michael…" WPR and Whad'Ya Know? are pleased to announce Sara Nics will take over the microphone as announcer on Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know?.
"When we learned Sara covered Asia for Netherlands Radio from Amsterdam we knew she was perfect for Whad'Ya Know?. We're thrilled to have Sara as the new voice of Whad'Ya Know?!" said Feldman.
Nics has done a world of weird and wonderful jobs... helping salmon reproduce in the arctic, reporting on lobsters and logging in Maine, roasting coffee in Toronto, writing about the East Coast arts scene, teaching yoga in Nairobi, announcing India's news from a desk in a Dutch forest, choreographing surrealist children's theater for elderly listeners, roaming a national park in Nova Scotia, covering turmoil in East Africa and taking photos of flowers in the Netherlands.
When she's not roaming the world and making radio, you might find her adding to her Bakelite bangle collection or cooking delicious dim sum.
"I've been laughing with Whad'Ya Know? for years. It was an enormous compliment to be asked to audition for the gig, and fun to discover that the show's even funnier from the stage," said Nics.
Nics knows she's moving into a legendary position, taking over for longtime announcer, Jim Packard, who passed away in June 2012 after a brief illness.
"No one can fill Jim Packard's seat. I won't even try. But I'm looking forward to spending my Saturday mornings with Michael and his listeners," she added.
Nics joined WPR's To The Best of Our Knowledge as a producer in 2011. Raised on CBC radio, she decided to become a journalist when she realized that asking questions was her accidental hobby. Since then she's worked and lived in Canada, the United States, Kenya and the Netherlands. Nics will continue her production work with TTBOOK.

Welcome Aboard
This is good news. Thank you,
This is good news. Thank you, Sara, for joining Michael and his team.
By continuing to work for TTBOOK (which is a wonderful program, thank you), and now for WYK, are you at all afraid you might be spreading yourself a bit thin?

"But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith - virtue, to virtue - knowledge, to knowledge - self-control, to self-control - perseverance, to perseverance - godliness, to godliness - brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness - love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Do you (the proverbial you, not you specifically)…do you ever wonder how character develops, biblically? I mean, Christians talk about character quite a bit. Furthermore, most Religions have a great deal to say about building character, integrity and the importance of right living. Character, much to all of our collective chagrins, does not develop overnight, however. Actually, as in my case, it develops so slowly that it could appear to not be happening at all if one didn't know otherwise, until the day comes when the fleeting idea of character suddenly, it seems, appears. Or, in a less noticeable way, character can decline over timer, festering as if assaulted by decay, time and bad decisions.
Been there as well. As a matter of fact, I have learned more in my life from doing the wrong thing first than I have ever learned from making the right decision at the onset.
The biblical progression of character is outlined quite elegantly within the framework of Peter's ministry to His flock within the group of believing Jews he had been working with. Peter wrote (in his second book) the portion of scripture provided at the beginning of this column. It is quite elegant in my opinion, especially for an author like Peter who appears to be quite aggressive and blunt in his messaging towards the believing Jews at that time. Most folks view this scripture as an inventory, as a list so to speak, of character attributes to be attained to and/or checked off of, the great to-do list of life's daily accomplishments.
It is somewhat of a personal mirage though, in my mind, viewing this scripture, and those like it, as a list. It does indeed help in establishing whether or not we are on the right track so to speak, in our Christian walk towards morality…but it also allows us to pick and choose those things we may already be comfortable with or are working on, leaving those other "somethings" alone, those things of which we do not wish to develop as they are somehow distasteful or unattractive or just plain ol' HARD for us to think about.
Take, for instance, virginity and/or abstinence (as a moral decision) based upon the need to develop self-control in this day and age of seeming over-indulgence? Need I say more? Sex for humans…is very difficult to resist if you hadn't noticed. I think I just went from a G to a PG with that statement. chuckle
This scripture from 2 Peter isn't a list however. Nor, is it an inventory. Not to me anyways. It is a hierarchy, in many respects. No, no. It doesn't have anything to do with politics, pecking orders nor anything having to do with power and control in the way that the word -hierarchy- usually applies. It is more like a layer of bricks being leveled together and built upon each other; spiraling upwards towards a pinnacle, gaining strength of foundation with the ideal (as well as the reality) of love resting and waiting a'top the peak.
Take a gander through my eyes a minute, and see if you can see what I see.
First however, let me provide an example of something very similar. Abraham Maslow was a Psychologist who developed his Hierarchy of Needs as a theory in a 1943 paper regarding human motivation. See the diagram I have provided crowning the top of this column (I am not attempting to defend or define his hierarchy of needs; I seek only to use it as an example of a non-power motivated hierarchy). As one can easily see, there is a pyramidal movement from bottom to top, of general (yet specific to each level) needs being fulfilled at each step. The trick to understanding Maslow's hierarchy is to recognize that each level is dependent upon the previous level of development for it to spiral and blossom towards the next level upwards, towards what Maslow (and Peter for that matter) believed to be the pinnacle, self-actualization. In Peter's case, the pinnacle would be love.
Take the first two levels from the bottom up for instance, the physiological needs and the safety needs. Every human being needs to eat and hydrate. Nourishment and hydration are absolutely necessary if one is to survive. There is no debate about this fact. It is part of the human condition. Hence, it is a need. Therefore, when one is….say, homeless and living on the streets? His/her main concern will first be to secure water and food, even before shelter-although shelter, especially in winter, is very close to being a first level need as well. But, when dealing with thirst and starvation, even before one seeks to be sheltered from the storm, one will go forth to find food and water. In fact, the drive associated with hunger will push a person into the worst situations, such as storms, blizzards, crime and decay, just to find something to eat or something to quench the unbearable thirst that comes with living outside 24/7. Shelter is not exactly first priority when one is starving.
Nor is self-actualization or love for that matter. Let's face it, approaching the proverbial man deprived of nutrition for weeks on end in order to talk to him about his/her personal significance needs and whether or not he is getting his emotional needs met would be fruitless. He is as likely to spit on your shoe as he is to listen to you talk about enlightenment. His current needs completely supersede everything else and until those needs are met, he won't be looking to satisfy the higher level needs.
Now, take said homeless person and provide food and liquids. He eats. He drinks. He is, for a time, satisfied as far as hunger and thirst are concerned. What does he/she do next? Well? According to Maslow, and most if not all street folks, shelter then takes center stage. The first level of the needs hierarchy has been satisfied and the next level has been pierced, so to speak. Shelter than becomes the main concern that preoccupies our proverbial homeless human being.
This progression from a lower level to a higher level of needs satisfaction is the basis for my essay concerning a biblically stylized character development. Make sense? So then, take for example (in order), the previously established "list" of character traits that Peter outlines for us in his second book.
Brotherly kindness
Many believe, as I did for most of my adult reading life, that all of these are to be accomplished and developed separate from each other, as needed. Meaning, while I am working on my faith I can also work on my self-control…as it appears, I have none (I do have some, but for the sake of simplicity just roll with it).
The list approach suggests that if I decide NOT to work on my faith it won't affect my self-control work because they are separate tasks and can be developed separate from each other. I am suggesting that if I give up on my faith work, my virtue work will suffer…and that in turn will cause my knowledge work to suffer…and then in turn my self-control work will suffer…and then in turn etc. etc. Meaning, they are dependent upon one another as opposed to being mutually exclusive.
Furthermore, what I do at the bottom level of Peter's Character Development hierarchy will effect the development of the rest of my character attributes all the way to the top, all the way to the pinnacle, which is love.
Peter's point can best be exemplified in a personal way. Starting with knowledge and self-control as they are an easy example, let's develop this a bit. "…add to your knowledge self-control" Notice that knowledge predicates self-control, knowledge comes first. Meaning, we have to have a knowledge of something for us to need any sort of self-control over it. Take food for example, more specifically sweets.
Even more specifically….
Before the time when I discovered a specific tear drop from heaven known of as chocolate, I had no need for self-control over chocolate. Then? One day, along comes a candy bar and I become obsessive. The *knowing of chocolate (a neutral) led to an obsession for chocolate (the negative), and one that required due diligence and self-control, otherwise chocolate would have overcome my sweet tooth and no one would have ever seen me again while I squandered away my days swimming in an outdoor kiddie pool full of melted Hershey bars.. It wasn't the *knowledge of chocolate that was the issue. It was the obsession with the knowing of chocolate that necessitated self-control.
Footnote time…err…middle-of-the-column-note time
*(Knowledge is not an evil, in and of itself, as many folks try to portray us as saying in their assessment of the biblical view of knowledge. In the garden it was the knowledge of good and evil - more specifically the knowledge of the difference between good and evil, even more specifically the knowledge that evil exists and we can freely perform it - that Genesis was concerned about in that fateful day when, as I believe it to be, sin entered the world and man-and-woman were on their own. It was not knowledge that got them ejected from their original home. It was the obsession with the knowledge of evil vs. its counterpoint of good, and choosing evil over the presence of the option of good.... ie. the proverbial apple was good to eat and hey! You gotta try this! Let's see if we can get more. Seems harmless enough. I didn't die....yet ( it is said that addicts don't have a drinking problem, they have a thinking problem). They (Adam and Eve) had discovered the difference between a choice born of dependence upon the Father (life) and an independent and separate action from their Father (sin) and its consequences, death).
So in looking at knowledge in this light, I bring chocolate into the conversation. Before I knew chocolate in all its glory, I had no need for self-control over chocolate. I had a need for self-control in other areas, but to my mind at that point, which had neither memory nor experience of the delectable sweetness known of as chocolate, self-control was completely unnecessary.
BUT!!!! Afterwards… after my first experience with chocolate, the actual knowledge that chocolate existed and that I did indeed LIKE chocolate, self-control over chocolate became a necessary next step (and an important one) as I tend to gain a boatload of weight when my desire for all things chocolate gets out of control (It is quite common actually, especially in Whiskey drinkers, for sweets and things like dark chocolate to become a replacement of sorts, for the massive amounts of sugar and carbs that are no longer being consumed).
We know something. Or rather, we learn something. That something is knowledge. We then have to move forward with that knowledge and decide what it is we are going to do with said knowledge. Will it rule us? Or will we control the knowledge, each in our own respective walks.
So you see, in my mind character development and integrity are very much a progression born upon the building blocks of other personality traits, all working together to build the personality, the individual, we are to become.

Monodelphis dimidiata
|Scientific Name:
|Monodelphis dimidiata
|Species Authority:
|(Wagner, 1847)
Common Name(s):
Didelphis brachyura Waterhouse, 1839
Didelphis henseli Matschie, 1916
Didelphis lundi Matschie, 1916
Didelphys dimidiata Wagner, 1847
Monodelphis fosteri Thomas, 1924
Monodelphis sorex (Hensel, 1872)
Peramys dimidiata subspecies itatiayae A. Miranda-Ribeiro, 1936
Peramys sorex Thomas, 1909
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Populations from southern Brazil and Northeastern Argentina usually assigned to M. sorex, are now placed under synonymy with M. dimidiata (Vilela et al. 2010, Solari 2010). M. dimidiata is the type species of the genus name Peramys Lesson 1842, by subsequent designation and of Minuania Cabrera 1919, by original designation, same as M. sorex being the type species of Monodelphiops Matschie 1916. Because of synonymy of these two species names, all three genus names become synonyms too; with Peramys being the senior one (see Solari 2010). At this time, Peramys is a junior synonym (or subgenus) of Monodelphis.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Brito, D., Vilela, J., Flores, D. & Teta, P.
|Solari, S. & Chiozza, F.
This species is listed as Least Concern in because of its wide distribution, occurrence in a number of protected areas, tolerance to some degree of habitat modification, and because it is unlikely to be declining at the rate required to qualify for listing in a threatened category. This species is in decline and further investigations into rates of decline and adaptability to disturbed habitat could indicate that this species is or will be Near Threatened, however, inference from current knowledge suggests Least Concern is more appropriate at this time.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species occurs in Uruguay, southeastern Brazil, southeastern Paraguay and central and northern Argentina (Gardner 2007). The populations from the Atlantic Forest assigned traditionally to M. sorex, are now considered as conspecific with M. dimidiata (Vilela et al. 2010, Solari 2010).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Argentina; Brazil; Uruguay

|This species can be common in the appropriate habitats (see Pine et al. 1985). Remaining populations of this species have been reduced to isolated fragments of their former range. In southeastern Brazil, northeastern Argentina and southern Paraguay, the population may be larger than thought as surveys have been inadequate.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species is found in pastures, wetlands, pampas grasslands, and riparian areas next to waterways. Founded also in Atlantic coast rainforest (Eisenberg and Redford 1999, Emmons and Feer 1997).
|Major Threat(s):
|No major threats occur to the species, although numerous populations are threatened by habitat conversion to agriculture or urbanized areas.
|Conservation Actions:
|M. dimidiata occurs in a number of protected areas in Brazil.

User reviews on Dragon Wars (D-War)
Wow. Congrats. This had to have been the worst movie I have ever seen. The script, acting, and special effects were awful. If I had a choice between facing my biggest fear and watching this movie I would do niether of those, i'd kill myself. :D I barely remember anything about this movie probably because I fell asleep, but from what I can remember, this movie sucked. Don't waste your time seeing this movie.
I just got done watching this horrible movie. The plot dragged on and on and made no sense. The acting was so horrible. I left 3/4 of the way through
Great Special Effects. No storyline that makes any sense. Follows Korean Mythology. Character development is non-existant. Save Your Money, not worth your time.
A beautiful blockbuster movie. This awesome movie gave me a bunch of chances to be with my family, to talk with because plot was easy to understand even to my 13 year-old nephew, computer graphic was good...everythi ng was fast. Not BORED It was good movie.
Very dissapointed. I love dragons and was very anxious to see it and 20 minutes into the movie I regreted paying the money for my husband, my kids and myself to see it. It was hard to sit through because the acting sucked, graphics were fake and storyline was slow.
My nephew & I just got done seeing "Dragon Wars" & I'm glad we went to see an earlier movie at a cheaper price. The only thing I can say is "H B O" - because we should have waited until it came out on TV. Go see "Halloween" - we saw that last weekend and it was well worth the price !!!
what`s this? Korean movie? I can`t believe it... so great! graphics are fantastic... Maybe it`s better than japanese one. Well I am japanese and i just saw this movie today..I am shocked and impressed by good picture!
This movie is really terrific!!
I hope 'D-war' rocks the world!
Just saw this movie in Korea and I have to say it is one of the worst movies I have ever paid to watch. Very painful to watch.
Even though the movie was only an hour and a half, I was itching to leave my seat through out the movie.
The acting was weak and the plot even weaker.
The special effects were cheaply done.
In Korea, I am sure this movie will do well but I doubt it will fare well overseas.

Scientists at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center say that they have generated new data that establishes the role of glypican-1 (GPC1) as a driver of growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis of human pancreatic cancer cell lines.
The prognosis for individuals with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is poor, largely because diagnosis often comes after the tumor has spread to other tissues, according to the researchers.
In the study, human pancreatic cancer cell lines in which expression of GPC1 was downregulated showed reduced tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis when transplanted into immunocompromised mice. The scientists also found that transplanting human pancreatic cancer cell lines expressing normal levels of GPC1 into immunocompromised mice lacking GPC1 resulted in decreased tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis.
In addition, fewer metastases were detected following the transplantation of a mouse skin cancer cell line into immunocompromised mice lacking GPC1. This indicates that the importance of GPC1 to tumor metastasis is not restricted to PDAC, report the investigators.
The research is published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

Cranberry Mole
Making mole (a traditional Mexican sauce) doesn't have to be an all-day process - and eating it doesn't have to be a dietary nightmare, especially if you use sweet cranberries for flavor, cut down on the oil and reduce the huge quantity of nuts and seeds often used. This recipe makes more than you may need for Thanksgiving dinner, but the leftovers are delicious on Southwestern-style turkey sandwiches or quesadillas.Yield: about 4 1/2 cups, enough for 12 servings plus leftovers
Active Time: 70
Total Time: 70
- 5 cups water
- 10 dried chiles, any combination of New Mexico, pasilla and/or ancho (see Ingredient notes)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 4 tomatillos, papery husks removed, rinsed and halved (see Ingredient notes)
- 2 plum tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 1 small, very ripe, almost black plantain, (about 10 ounces), peeled and thinly sliced (see Ingredient notes)
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stem and seed chiles, then tear the skins into large chunks. Place the chiles and dried cranberries in a large bowl; cover with boiling water. Set aside to soften.
- Position rack at top level of oven; preheat broiler. Lightly oil a large baking sheet with a rim. Place tomatillos and tomatoes cut-side down on the baking sheet. Broil until the skins char, about 6 minutes. Transfer the tomatillos, tomatoes and any juices to a food processor or blender.
- Meanwhile, toast almonds in a dry medium skillet over medium heat, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the food processor or blender.
- Heat oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add plantain and cook until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes, turning the slices once. Transfer to the food processor or blender.
- Place garlic in the same pan over medium-low heat; cook, stirring occasionally, just until golden, about 3 minutes. Add to the food processor or blender.
- Drain the chiles and cranberries; transfer to the food processor or blender. Add cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary, about 3 minutes.
- Pour the puree into a large saucepan. Stir in broth, chocolate, salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mole begins to bubble, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat and gently simmer, stirring constantly, until the mole is steaming and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Ingredient Notes: Dried New Mexico, pasilla and ancho chiles are used in Southwestern cooking to add moderate heat and a rich flavor to sauces, soups and stews. To give the mole the most flavor, use at least two different varieties. Find them in the produce section of large supermarkets or online at www.melissas.com.
- Tomatillos are tart, plum-size green fruits that look like small, husk-covered green tomatoes. Find them in the produce section near the tomatoes.
- Plantains are a starchy, less-sweet relative of the banana. They are typically sold underripe, with yellow skin, but are best when the skin is almost completely black. Buy underripe plantains about one week in advance and ripen on the counter.
- Cut Down on Dishes: A rimmed baking sheet is great for everything from roasting to catching accidental drips and spills. For effortless cleanup and to keep your baking sheets in tip-top shape, line them with a layer of foil before each use.

The mission of the Workers' Compensation Board is to
provide timely and impartial resolution of disputes arising under
the Workers' Compensation Law and the Oregon Safe Employment Act.
The most significant goal of the Board is to be a model forum to provide
substantial justice to all parties that come before it. The Oregon
Legislature created the Board as an independent agency in 1965, and
in 1987, it continued the Board as an independent agency within the
Department of Insurance & Finance (now the Oregon Department of Consumer
& Business Services).
The Workers' Compensation Board Chair oversees the Hearings
Division, whose Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) conduct contested
case hearings and provide alternative dispute resolution for workers'
compensation matters as well as for Oregon Occupational Safety and
Health Division (OR-OSHA) citations and orders. Hearings Division
offices are located in Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Medford.
The Board is the appellate body that reviews ALJ workers'
compensation orders on appeal, exercises own-motion jurisdiction,
and reviews Claim Disposition Agreements (Compromise and Release of
workers' benefits). In addition, the Board conducts hearings/reviews
of appeals from Oregon Department of Justice decisions regarding applications
for compensation under the Crime Victim Assistance Program, and resolves
disputes between workers and workers' compensation carriers arising
from workers' civil actions against allegedly liable third parties.
The Board is assisted by staff attorneys who do legal research and
assist with the drafting of orders. The Board also furnishes policy
advice on workers' compensation issues to the director of the Department
of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS).
The Board consists of five full-time members, two of
whom are selected from among persons with backgrounds and understanding
of the concerns of employers, and two of whom are selected from among
persons with backgrounds and understanding of the concerns of employees.
One member represents the interests of the public and serves as the
chair. All five Board members are required, however, to impartially
apply the law and, once appointed, may not represent any special interest.
In making case decisions, the Board members may sit together or in
panels. A decision of a panel is by a majority of the panel. When
sitting "en banc," the concurrence of a majority of the
members participating is necessary for a decision. With limited exceptions,
Board orders may be appealed by the parties to the Oregon Court of
The members are appointed to four-year terms by the
governor subject to confirmation by the Oregon Senate. Presently the
Board consists of members: Abigail Herman, Frank Biehl, Margaret Weddell,
Greig Lowell, and Vera Langer. Please contact us if you have any questions.

By Jason Clay
HOUSTON, Texas - The Rotary Lombardi Award committee announced the 2014 Rotary Lombardi Award watch list on Monday, which featured three players from the Fresno State football team.
Bulldog seniors Tyeler Davison and Cody Wichmann along with junior Ejiro Ederaine were all named to the list. Fresno State is one of 14 schools in the FBS to have three players represented on the Rotary Lombardi Award watch list.
Eligibility for the Rotary Lombardi Award is limited to down linemen, end-to-end, either on offense or defense, who set up no farther than 10 yards to the left or right of the ball, or linebackers who set up no farther than five yards deep from the line of scrimmage. The candidates earned a place on the preliminary watch list by earning All-American honors, being named to their respective all-conference teams or receiving 2014 pre-season honors. The Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List will be updated prior to the start of the 2014 season in order to identify other players who have received significant pre-season honors.
"This is one of our favorite times of the year," Rotary Lombardi Award committee chair Brian Carr said. "The dog days of summer are when people start thinking about college football again. We are ready to see who is going to distinguish themselves this year, and we look forward to tracking the progress of each player on this list."
Davison, a defensive end, is a senior leader for Fresno State's defense and a two-time All-Mountain West selection. A two-year returning starter, Davison has 100 career tackles, 15.5 tackles for a loss, six sacks and has recovered three fumbles, one of which went for a touchdown in 2012 at Nevada.
Wichmann, the top returning lineman for the Bulldog offense that led the nation in passing last season, enters his senior campaign having made 36 career starts. He has played the third-most snaps (2,824) of any FBS offensive linemen entering the season.
Both Davison and Wichmann are also on the preseason watch list for the Outland Trophy.
Ederaine, who is on the CFPA 2014 Linebacker Trophy watch list, is coming off his 2013 season in which he was a second-team All-Mountain West selection. Ederaine led the team with 16.5 tackles for a loss - the sixth-most in school history - and 10 sacks.
The Rotary Lombardi Watch List, intended as a reference tool for the Selection Committee, will be periodically updated and revised through the conclusion of the voting to determine the 12 Semifinalists for 2014.
The 45th Rotary Lombardi Award will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2014 at the Bayou Music Center in Houston, Texas. For more information, visit www.rotarylombardiaward.org.
"Be Bold" - 2014 Fresno State football season tickets are now on sale and can be ordered online at GoBulldogs.com or over the phone at 559-278-DOGS (3647). The official home of the Fresno State Bulldogs is 940 AM ESPN Radio and ESPN Deportes 1600 AM.

The ORDINARY of NEWGATE his Account of the Behaviour, Confessions, and Dying Speeches of the Malefactors that were executed at Tyburn, on Friday the 19th of July, 1706.
AT the Sessions held at Justice-Hall in the Old-Baily, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the 3d, 4th, and 5th instant, Six Persons, viz. Five Men and One Woman, received Sentence of Death. The Woman, and three of the Men, having obtained the QUEEN's gracious Reprieve, there are but two order'd for present Execution.
The Day on which the Sentence was pass'd upon them, I did in the Evening, with two other Divines, visit them, pray by them, and exhort them to prepare themselves for Death, with earnest Prayers to God for Grace to Believe in Christ, and to Repent of their Sins. And this I did every Day, both Morning and Afternoon, while they were under this Condemnation. And,
On the Lord's Day, the 7th instant, I preach'd to them and other Persons there present, viz. In the Morning upon Psal. 109. the latter part of the 4th Verse, the Words being these, I give my self unto Prayer; shewing from these Words,
I. The Necessity of Prayer at all times, and particularly when we are in trouble
II. The due Qualifications for Prayer.
III. The great Virtue and blessed Effects of Prayer.
And in the Afternoon I preach'd upon these Words, Col: 3. 5 and 6 being part of the second Evening-Lesson, Mortify therefore your Members which are upon the Earth, Fornication, Uncleanness, Inordinate Affection, Evil Concupiscence, and Covetousness, which is Idolatry. For which things sake the Wrath of God comes on the Children of Disobedience.
From which words I shewed,
I. What those Vices, both express'd and imply'd in the Text, were, 1st, As to their Nature; And 2dly, As to their Effects.
II. Their Punishment, described by the Wrath of God which comes on the Children of Disobedience, i. e. on such as in Disobedience to, and Contempt of the Divine Laws, dare presume to commit those foul Crimes, which are so directly opposite to the Purity of the Gospel of Christ, and the everlasting Interest of Mens Souls.
III. Their Remedy and Cure, viz. How they (according to the Apostle's Precept) may be mortify'd and subdued, and totally rooted out of our Hearts. Which is effected by the power of God's Spirit, implanting in their stead, the Habit of Virtue, and forming and reforming us to Holiness.
On the last Lord's Day, being the 14th instant, I preach'd again to them, both in the Morning and Afternoon, upon Levit. 26. the latter part of the 43d verse - And they shall accept of the Punishment of their Iniquity; because, even because they despised my Judgement, and because their Soul abhorred my Statutes.
From which Words, first open'd and explain'd, I shew'd I. That it is both the Duty and Interest of Sinners to receive patiently and thankfully, and to improve carefully and comfortably, God's Corrections and Punishments inflicted on them in this World. And,
II. That if they do in the time of Grace and in the Sincerity of their Hearts, repent of all their Follies and Sins, they may happily prevent the terrible and endless Punishment of another World.
Having enlarged on these Heads, I then proceeded to give them Directions, by which they might know whether their Repentance was such as were available to Salvation: And I concluded all with pressing Exhortations to the Persons Condemned; That they would make good use of the present Opportunity, and husband the few Moments, now remaining them, so well and with such a Religious Care, as that (through the Divine Grace and the Merits of Christ) they might improve them into a happy Eternity.
In my private Discourses with them, I perswaded them to make ingenuous Confessions of their Crimes; which they did, and were willing, for the World's Satisfaction, that they should be made publick, as follows.
I. John Wills Gent . Condemned for stabbing Joseph Derrcy, on the 4th of May last past, in the Parish of St. Margaret Westminster. He said he was about 33 years of Age, born of very good and honest Parents in the County of Devon: That he had been 16 years in the late KING'S and HER present MAJESTY's Service, first under the Command of Capt. Spire in Col. Titcomb's Regiment in Ireland, and afterwards under that of Cap. Powel in the Duke of Marlborough's Regiment in Flanders, in both which he serv'd in the Capacity of a Sergeant ; and he also had rode in the Earl of Oxford's Regiment: And last of all in the Regiment of the Life-Guard, for near 12 Months. He acknowledged he had done a very ill Thing in killing Mr. Derry, who was his particular Friend, and for whom he had a great kindness but, (he said,) he was provok'd. However, he seem'd to be very sensible, that it was a very heinous Crime, and was very sorry he had committed it. He heartily begg'd Pardon of God and Man, both for that great Crime and for all other the Miscarriages of his Life, which (this bloody Fact excepted) he said, were no other but such as were common to Mankind, and those of his Profession. He pray'd, That God would deliver him from Blood-guiltiness, and from all other his Sins, for Christ's sake, in whom alone he trusted for Salvation. He was a Man of few words, and seem'd to be of a meek Spirit, while under this Condemnation: In which (to my best Observation) he behav'd himself as a penitent Sinner.
II. Benjamin Arnold; Condemned for Breaking and Robbing the House of Mr . Robert Crossfeild on the 11th of May last past, about one of the Clock in the Morning, and taking from thence a pair of Snuffers, 22 Plates, 6 Dishes 6 Silver Tea-Spoons gilt, and 6 ungilt, with another Spoon, and diverse other Goods; whereof some were found upon him when he was apprehended. He own'd his Commission both of this Fact and the other for which he was indicted, but acquited of it, for want of sufficient Evidence, viz. That of Breaking the House of Mrs . Dorothy Bentley, and taking from thence some Linnen and a Copper-pot, on the same Day and about the same time of the Night above-mentioned. He further acknowledged that he had been guilty of such other Facts before, but he could not give any particular account of them nor make amends for them; and he seem'd now to be sensible, that the profaning of the Lord's Day, and neglect of God's Service had first brought him to this Wickedness, and to all manner of Lewdness and Vice, as Swearing, Whoring, Drinking, &c. of which he confessed he had been highly guilty; and therefore was very much dejected, when he look'd back upon his past Life, which he found to have been attended with so great Miscarriages; and he pray'd that God of his Mercy would forgive him, for Jesus Christ's sake. He said, that he was 34 years old, born at Weston in Hertfordshire, and that at 12 years of Age, he listed himself to serve under Capt. Harding in Col. Dunbaon's Regiment, when it went into France, under the Command of the Duke of Monmouth, then Lieutenant General; That afterwards he serv'd in Tangier under Capt. Talbot in Col. Kirk's Regiment ; and likewise at Sea, sometimes in Merchant-Ships , and sometimes in the Royal Navy ; and was in that Squadron coming from the Streights, when Sir Francis Wheeler was cast away. He own'd that he had been in many dangers, yet so stupify'd and so deeply sunk into Sin, he was as not to be brought by them into any sense of his wicked Life, and of the Necessity of reforming it. He told me also, That he, for sometime, rode in the Earl of Oxford's Regiment, and that of late he had employ'd himself in the Trade of making Pump-shooes for Children , and lived in Grub-street, where he rented a House; adding, that if God had been pleased to spare his Life, he was resolv'd to follow his Trade, and to commit no more ill things: But since he must die, he pray'd that he might have Grace to die in Faith and Charity, and that the Divine Providence would take care of his Wife, now very big with Child, and of two other small Children he left behind him. And he desired that the World would not reproach his Wife upon his account; she being a very honest, virtuous, and pains-taking Woman.
This Day they were carried from Newgate to Tyburn, where I met them; and having discharged my last Duty to their Souls, by Exhortations, Prayers, and singing of Penitential Psalms, and rehearsing the Articles of our Christian Faith, I left them to their private Devotions, for which they had some time allow'd them. Then the Cart drew away, and they were turn'd off, whilst calling upon God, for Mercy and Salvation. Arnold's Voice, by reason of an Impediment he had in his Speech, was not so distinctly heard, as Mr. Wills's; whose last Prayer is Verbatim as follows.
O Merciful Father, who art the Lord and Giver of Life who desirest not the Death of a Sinner, but that he may be converted and live eternally: Who, in thy great goodness and pitty, hast promised pardon and forgiveness to all Sinners, that truly confess and forsake their Sins: Lord! I acknowledge my transgressions, which are many and grievous, I have sinned above the number of the Sands upon the Sea-shore. I have omitted good Duties, and committed ill things in thy Sight. I have by my Sins, defac'd thy Image in my self, and destroy'd it in him whose Blood I have shed, in a rash and cruel Manner, to the pollution of my own Soul. But, O Lord! I repent from the ground of my Heart, and in the bitterness of my Spirit; most humbly beseeching thee to forgive me all my offences. Lord forgive me, and destroy me not in mine iniquities! Deliver me from Blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou that art the God of my health; and my Tongue shall sing of
thy righteousness. And in this my great Extremely (in this needful time of trouble) Vouchsafe, Lord, to visit me with thy Salvation. Look down from Heaven upon me with those Eyes of Grace and Compassion, wherewith Thou art wont to look upon thy Children in their affliction and misery. Heal my poor wounded Soul, O thou Heavenly Physician, and pour into it, the Oyl of Joy and Gladness, the Spi it of Grace and th� Hope of Salvation. Encrease my Faith, perfect my Repentance, and let me feel that CHRIST dy'd for me; and that his most precious Blood, which cryes better Things than that of Abel, has cleansed my Conscience from all filthiness of Sin, and wholly purify'd and sanctify'd my Soul. Lord! grant that I may now peaceably and joyfully yield it up into thy merciful Hands. Let thy blessed Angels carry it into thy Kingdom; and do Thou receive it into thy Glory.
O Lord! hear me! and be gracious to me, and to my Fellow-Sufferer; that we may be both of us admitted into thy Heavenly Paradise.
Lord! Preserve thy Church: Bless my Friends; and forgive my Foes. Have pity and compassion upon my poor afflicted Wife; Comfort and Relieve her in her affliction, and be a Husband to her, protect and defend her in this troublesome World, and in thy due time bring her into that blessed and glorious Place, where I hope I am now going to enjoy Thee unto all Ages of Eternity, Amen.
O LORD JESUS, who didst shew Mercy and Salvation to the poor repenting Malefactor that was crucify'd with Thee upon the Cross, extend the same Grace to me; and speak peace to my afflicted Soul, and say, That this day it shall be with Thee in Paradise.
And Thou Holy Spirit, proceeding from the Father and the Son, sanctify me throughly, and fit and dispose my Soul now to enter into the possession and enjoyment of unspeakable and Eternal Blessings.
O THOU, most Holy, most Mighty, most Glorious, and most Blessed TRINITY, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, One ever Living and Immortal GOD, have mercy upon me; and suffer me not in this my last hour, for any pains or terrors of Death, to fall from Thee: But of thy Gracious and Divine Mercy, make this my Death a happy Passage for my Soul into the Mansions of Blissful Eternity; and grant, that my Body may also be raised one day unto the same Glory. Even so, O Blessed Lord God, who can'st do all things, according to thy infinite Power, both in Heaven and Earth; and to whom therefore I ascribe with my last Breath here, as is most due, all Honour and Glory, Praise and Adoration, for ever and ever. Amen.
Arnold shew'd me a Letter, which he sent (just before his Death) to his Wife; wherein he acknowledges, " That God " is just in his inflicting this deserv'd Punishment upon him; " and prays, that he would pardon and reform those Persons " (therein nam'd; but not here in hope of their amendment) " who brought him into those wicked things he had done, and " for which he must now die. He commends his Wife for her " Love to him, and for her being honest in every respect, and " exhorts her so to continue, and strictly to keep the Sabbathday; praying Almighty God to bless her, and their two " Children alive, with that in her Belly. And lastly, he heartily recommends them all (as he does his own departing " Soul) to the tender Mercies of God.
At the place of Excution, both Mr. Wills and Arnold desired the Standers-by, to pray for them; and both they and others, who should hear of their shameful Death, to take Warning by them; To avoid Idleness and ill Company; To serve God, and to keep the Sabbath-day religiously; To refrain from violent Passions, from Drunkenness, Swearing, and Cursing, and from all manner of Lewdness and Debauchery; And to think often of a Judgment to come.
This is all the Account here to be given of these Dying Persons, by
PAUL LORRAIN, Ordinary of Newgate.
Friday July 19. 1706:
††† Whereas some Persons take the Liberty of putting out Sham-Papers, pretending to give an Account of the Malefactors that are Executed; in which Papers they are so defective and unjust, as sometimes to mistake even their Names and Crimes, and often misrepresent the State they plainly appear to be in, under their Condemnation, and at the time of their Death. To prevent which great Abuses, These are to give Notice, That the only true Account of the Dying Criminals, is that which comes out the next Day after their Execution, about 8 in the Morning, the Title whereof constantly begins with these Words, The ORDINARY of NEWGATE his Account of the Behaviour, &c. In which Paper (always Printed on both sides the better to distinguish it from Connterfeits) are set down the Heads of the several Sermons' Preach'd before the Condemned: and after their Confessions and Prayers, an Attestation thereto under the Ordinary's Hand, that is, his Name at length; and at the bottom the Printer's Name, Dryden Leach; which if the Readers would but observe, they would avoid those scandalous Cheats so constantly impos'd, upon them.

Internals of Java Class Loading
By cbeckham on Feb 01, 2005
A.class is not A.class, when each is loaded by a different class loader. That's only the beginning of the trickiness unveiled by Binildas Christudas in his article Internals of Java Class Loading, in which he shows how multiple class loaders relate to one another, the consequences (and yet necessity) of loading classes from multiple class loaders, and why you might even want to write your own. He says, "all Java programmers should know how the mechanism works and what can be done with it to suit their needs. This can save time that would otherwise have been spent debugging ClassNotFoundException, ClassCastException, etc."
This is a very good post on Java.net that gives a good overview of the internals of Java class loading.

MACEDONIA — Another week, another season-best time for Wadsworth's girls 4×800-meter relay.
The foursome clocked a 9:31.93 Wednesday to finish runner-up at the Nordonia Division I District, securing a spot in next week's Youngstown Regional.
Just days after posting their lowest time together on the same track at Boliantz Stadium, the group of Sarah Berger, Michalla Gordon, Courtney Palange and Madi Salem lowered it again while finishing second to Solon (9:31.13).
"They're talented, very talented," Grizzlies coach John Burton said. "You've got girls like Sarah and Courtney and then Michalla and Madi are still learning; they're just a group that is athletically talented and motivated."
The race went as most expected, as Solon and Wadsworth came in with the best times and among some of the state's top 4×8 relays.
"It feels really good to run our team's best," Salem said. "This definitely gives me, not necessarily a confidence, but more strive to do better. We're going to work hard in practice and get ready for next week."
Four individuals punched tickets to regional competition, as Cloverleaf's Adam Podolak (high jump), Highland's Mason Simmons (pole vault) and Wadsworth's Zack Metz (pole vault) and Leah Runkle (long jump) earned top-four finishes.
A year after winning the Nordonia District crown, Runkle took third in the long jump with a season-best 17 feet, 4 inches.
"I'm just happy that I was consistently at 17 feet," Runkle said. "I was around 17-3, 17-4 all day and I'm starting to get consistent and improving every week."
On the boys side, it was a county showdown for the final two spots in the pole vault, with Metz and Simmons earning regional trips. For Metz it will be his first regional appearance, while Simmons advanced for the first time since his freshman season.
Metz did it in style, as the junior cleared a personal-best 13-3 to take third. His best jump had the bar shaking for almost a full minute.
"I was hoping it would (stay up)," he said with a laugh. "As I was coming down, I was like, 'Oh,' but it was a new pole; I've never practiced on that one.
"It feels awesome. All the hard work pays off. I was expecting 13 feet and I knew I could get it."
Highland's Simmons matched his career mark by soaring 13 feet.
"It feels really good," he said. "I did it my freshman year, but we were at an easier district, so being able to get it at one of the hardest districts in the state felt good."
Rounding out the regional qualifiers was Cloverleaf's Podolak. The junior cleared 6-1 and beat Nordonia's Jermaine Muse on jumps for third place, but the duo had to wait to see what Solon's Hari Fair did after the Comet passed on 6-1 and then missed his three tries with the bar at 6-2.
It was worth the wait.
"I've wanted to do this the whole time I've been in high school, so now that I'm actually there it feels awesome," Podolak said. "I'm just so excited."
The day had some heartbreak as well, as Highland thrower Martha Szekely, a regional qualifier in the discus last season, finished an inch off of the fourth and final qualifying throw.
Highland's boys 4×8 also was stuck in the dreaded fifth-place spot, finishing in 8:13.15, along with Wadsworth sophomore Alex Seme in the shot put.

Artist Claire Briggs is from upstate New York that is the home of Suny New Paltz. Many artists who come from that region possess craft skills akin to metal working and pottery, for instance. Claire Briggs brings to us the art of crochet, a handicraft in which yarn is made up into a patterned fabric by looping yarn with a hooked needle.
Asked where she learned to crochet and Claire said that it was a friend who taught her, and not her mother or grandmother that would be a typical source. Her acquiring that skill was purposeful.
Her art focus for this exhibit was executed with a good deal of investment in time and materials to use the medium to address a complex behavior that is "coping". Coping is dealing with something difficult such as a personal loss of a relative or friend. It can also mean coping with life's' circumstances however they manifest in difficulties that demand a response.
Coping is a personal process in dealing with difficult circumstances, and as an artist, Claire employs some familiar elements: color, texture, words, and simple ideas. When an artist embarks on simplicity, they could be on the edge of being trite that would be something overused and unfresh.
However, she balances on the edge by demonstrating intensity in dealing with her subject, and by applying her personal selection and making decisions that organize her expression about it. This exhibit exposes her inner self and shares a spectrum of her lexicon.
Claire Briggs has an outgoing personality, and she expresses much self confidence. Standing against a backdrop of a tapestry of her work at Artisphere, I asked if there was one event in her life that caused her to address this subject. Her bubbly self turned serious in an instant, and she said in a monotone, "There were several events to which I responded." Her change in mood said that this is a serious artist who is dealing with a sensitive subject with much sincerity.
"How does one cope with loss? What are some of the expressions that people tell themselves when they need support, understanding or help? #coping is a solo exhibition showcasing a series of crocheted wall hangings of common expressions that reflect the power of the words and the range of issues we cope with at any given moment.

Great RollersI bought these rollers and am so satisfied. They heat up quickly and are so easy to use. It seems that there are just enough of every size roller too. The clips are easy to use also. My hair looks great when I use them. No frizz, silky, and shiny. I wash my hair every other day and I used them on the second day. I had hair spray in my hair from the day before and that may have helped the style last. I am very satisfied.May 7, 2012JoanHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Bouncy Curls GaloreI liked this unit very much. (I have quite a collection at this point!) The curl holds well. You do have to be careful with the end that is exposed as it's hot! The only issue for me is that the curlers are too small for my shoulder length hair. So, I can only use the larger and some of the medium ones. Will think about buying the jumbo ones at some point since I like this unit for my hair type. I particularly like the ionic feature to minimize damage.Apr 6, 2012MillyHAIR TYPEDry Hair / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Perfect CurlsThis roller set it great, it heats up in less than 10 minutes and makes perfect curls. There is a nice mix of small, medium, large rollers and the butterfly clips keep them in well. The only negative is that the ends get a little hot when rolling and there's not indicator light for when they're ready. Other than that it's wonderful for curling.Feb 18, 2012J

Love It!!!!!First I was a bit skeptical about ordering this roller set, but I did and I am very pleased with it. The set heats up just right in like 10 mins, rollers are not too hot to touch and the results for me, each time that I hve used it is bouncing, flowing curls, with body. If I could change one thing it would be to add a bit moere larger size rollers to the set.Feb 13, 2012Yolanda R. / MemphisHAIR TYPEBlack / Normal Hair

Not Worth ItNot sure this product is worth the price. It works as well as my old Conair set. There is no indication as to when the curlers are ready. The curlers themselves are ok. The cool ends that are featured in the manual are not that cool. Like another reviewer said, the bottom tip is much hotter than the top. So be careful when you use them! Overall, the item works, but it may not be worth the price.Nov 5, 2011K

Stylish UnitI used these heat rollers for the first time today. Based on the instructions, the unit takes about 10 minutes to heat up. The unit has an On/Off switch and lights up. There is no indication of when the rollers are fully heated, so timing is up to you. Although rollers are not too hot to handle, the roller end that rests on the base of the heating element, gets hotter than the top end. The rollers are fairly lightweight, so only minor adjustments are needed when using the clips. After use, rollers need to be returned to the proper size hole-slot, so if you have any spacial difficulties, this will drive you crazy. Clips work okay and they do not leave a dent. Clips come in a plastic sleeve, so they are storable separate from the unit. I left the rollers in my hair for 10 minutes. The curl came out nicely, however, I use product in my hair (before and after) to help retain the curl, finished off with an anti-humidity hair spray. After careful consideration, I think I'm more impressed with how the unit looks, than how it actually works.Nov 3, 2011M* / Los AngelesHAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Scottish PipesFrom the mystery of the loch mists and the history of the Highlands comes a chorus of bagpipes, met by the snap of snare drums. Over the steady drones ride the regimented variations which would inspire anyone to don a kilt and be forever clad in plaid.https://www.smartsound.com/music/images/global.jpgSingle1808-ST$ 39.951808-EX$ 59.951808-W$ 149.95Instrument: Ethnic Ensemble, Bagpipe, Acoustic, Instrumental Genre: Cultural, Folk, Themes, World, Scottish Emotions: Positive, Uplifting, Confident, Lively, Spirited Production Types: Travel, Home Videos

Today he is known as Dr. Q, an internationally renowned neurosurgeon and neuroscientist who leads cutting edge research to cure brain cancer. But not too long ago, he was Freddy, a 19-year-old undocumented migrant worker toiling in the tomato fields of central California. In this gripping memoir, Alfredo Qui#xF1;ones-Hinojosa tells his amazing life story--a remarkable odyssey not without controversy. Dr. Q takes us from his impoverished childhood in the tiny village of Palaco, Mexico to his harrowing border crossing, to his transformation from illegal immigrant to American citizen and gifted student at the University of California at Berkeley and at Harvard Medical School. Packed with adventure and adversity--including a few terrifying brushes with death-- Becoming Dr. Qis a testament to resilience, hard work, the power of hope and imagination, and the pursuit of excellence. It's also a story about the importance of family, of mentors, and of giving people a chance. Ultimately, Dr. Q's extraordinary journey is a celebration of our common humanity, written by a man who has found a way to give back to the country that has given him so much.
