Annie Leibovitz
Wexner Center for the Arts
Sept. 22-Dec. 30
This was the Columbus art event of the year. The exhibit has brought in more visitors per day, on average, than any other exhibition in the Wex's 23-year history. A bevy of complementary events and a secondary exhibit, "Pilgrimage," perfectly framed the debut of the famed photographer's master set — 156 striking images of pop culture's most fascinating.
"Sacrifice + Bliss: Aurora Robson"
Franklin Park Conservatory
Sept. 9-April 28, 2013
Incredible are the treasures that Brooklyn-based artist Aurora Robson makes out of trash. It's also incredible that she addresses consumption and pollution without stepping once on a soap box.
"The Radical Camera"
Columbus Museum of Art
April 19-Sept. 9
The social situations and cultural circumstances presented in these images, which were taken on the streets of New York in the early 20th century, made this an artistic and historical tour de awesome.
"Todd Slaughter: American Primitives"
CCAD's Canzani Center Gallery
Sept. 27-Nov. 8
Canzani Center Gallery had a banner year, thanks in large part to its new exhibitions director Michael Goodson. The fact that its exhibits are free should be considered part of CCAD's community service. "American Primitives" was a welcome study by this Columbus sculptor of the notion of self-reliance in America.
"Keeping Time: The AM Cuckoo Series"
Ohio Art League
Oct. 4-27
Local artist Kat Marie Moya worked on the 12 cuckoo clocks in this exhibit for nearly two years. The assemblages' pieces, such as the topper from her parents' wedding cake, and use of Moya's glass etching and wood carving skills, made them worth the time to create and visit.


text: My daughter is 14 weeks old (8weeks corrected) and just got her tongue clipped after several weeks of latch issues and refusing breast. She was in the hospital for 4 weeks and didnt get much help breast feeding so I'm pretty much eping and bottle feeding. Sometimes I was able to slip in bf but she always seemed hungry after. Always she got it clipped this morning and the lc said try 48 with only giving her breast but she won't even suck once. She screams, I calm her down and try again. I tried that 3-4 times then gave her a little bit of bottle and repeated the process. She fell asleep when trying to calm her down. We are doing skin to skin now but I'm so frustrated but I don't want to starve her, help?!

New reforms seek savings in Medicaid
MONTPELIER Vermont is weeks away from embarking on a high-stakes experiment to curb health care spending on some of the states poorest, and most expensive, patients.
But lawmakers, advocates and some of the providers set to take part in the initiative say uncertainty about how the new program will work has provoked anxiety over a plan that seeks to transform the delivery of care to people on Medicaid.
The so-called Medicaid ACO short for accountable care organization aims to unite a network of providers with the common goal of reducing the cost of care for Vermonters covered by the federal subsidy.
Funded by a three-year, $45 million federal grant, the Medicaid ACO represents just one of the many payment-reform initiatives now underway in Vermont. Mark Larson, commissioner of the Department of Vermont Health Access, said the efforts are part of a payment and delivery system reform that is fundamental to both controlling costs as well as improving outcomes for Vermonters.
The goal of the Medicaid ACO specifically, and of payment reform generally, is to move away from the fee for service model that Larson says is largely to blame for rising health care costs that now account for about one-fifth of the states gross domestic product.
Instead of compensating health care providers for the sheer volume of procedures performed, Larson says, Vermont wants to reward them instead for helping patients hit well-defined health benchmarks.
Accomplishing that task, however, will require a massive reorganization of the health care system.
In order to pay differently, there has to be some mechanism to have providers organize in units where they can be responsible for delivering integrated services, and they can receive payments for integrated services, Larson says.
The Medicaid ACO, Larson says, will be one of the catalysts for that change. The shared savings program lures providers into the program by offering them a slice of whatever cost reductions the initiative yields. Day-to-day operations among participating providers, state officials say, wont change all that much.
But the organization overseeing the Medicaid ACO will track total cost of care for Medicaid patients enrolled in the accountable care organization. And if costs end up coming in lower than current spending trends project, the providers split half the savings amongst themselves. The federal government gets the rest.
This is a new layer of financial incentive that allows providers to come together to offer something of value to a payer, whether its public or private for delivering something of value to individuals who are being served, Larson says.
Other ACOs in Vermont will use an almost identical system of incentives to squeeze savings from people covered by Medicare, as well as people covered through conventional commercial health insurance.
Rep. Chris Pearson, a Burlington Progressive, a member of the House Committee on Health Care, and a longtime proponent of medical system reform, says he recognizes the imperative for payment reform. But he says the pace at which the state is moving ahead with the Medicaid ACO, and the lack of understanding among lawmakers and providers of its implications, make him nervous.
Medicaid is a big part of the state budget, and it impacts tens of thousands of Vermonters, Pearson says. So then the questions are, what is it going to mean for patients? And what does it mean, given what sounds like overlap between other payment reform initiatives?
Trinka Kerr, with the Office of Health Care Ombudsman, says the Medicaid ACO has induced anxiety among the advocates who monitor state health care programs for poor and vulnerable Vermonters.
I think that we have some general anxiety about whether ACOs generally, and the Medicaid ACO in particular, is actually going to mean better care for patients. Kerr says. It feels like a lot of the focus is on saving money for the system, and maintaining revenue for the providers.
Kara Suter, director of payment reform and reimbursement at the Department of Vermont Health Access, says providers wont be judged solely on their ability to reduce costs. She says the state will, in empirical ways, monitor and measure the quality of care delivered to Medicaid patients. Failure to meet or exceed pre-established quality benchmarks, Suter says, will prevent providers from being able to collect a portion of the savings.
Kerr, however, says providers played a significant role in determining the quality measurements by which theyll be judged. Providers were able to minimize the number of quality-assurance variables being tracked, Kerr says, by raising concerns about the administrative burdens that would come with monitoring too many metrics.
Kerr says her office has had a seat at the table during those negotiations, but that we still have overall concerns.
We know theyre going to be measuring, Kerr says. We just dont know if theyre going to be measuring enough.
Mike Del Trecco, vice-president of finance at the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems, an organization that represents nearly every hospital in the state, says providers also have some concerns. Del Trecco says hospitals are on board with the concept OneCare, an ACO made up of Fletcher Allen Health Care, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and every community hospital in Vermont, is bidding for the right to administer the Medicaid ACO.
Del Trecco said hospitals interest in the program lies in delivering higher quality patient care, yet at the same time preparing for a transition in payment methodologies away from fee for service to what is largely unknown at this point.
But Del Trecco says a major hurdle in the Medicaid ACO is that its still largely unknown how things will actually work.
The financial aspects of a Medicaid ACO how its funded and supported were all going to be feeling our way through this, Del Trecco says. And there are unknowns, and those unknowns can make things tenuous at times.
Pearson says he suspects the hospitals will ultimately win the contract to oversee the Medicaid ACO only one other group submitted a bid and he has concerns about what it will mean to have OneCare steering the ship.
And one question is why are we handing control of this stuff over to the hospitals, when our interests in payment reform may not always be in line with the financial interests of hospitals, Pearson says.
Suter says the rollout of the Medicaid ACO, and other aspects of payment reform, will be gradual, so as not to alienate the providers, payers, patients or advocates, all of whom will be key to the success of the venture. She says policymakers will gauge the impact of the incremental reforms, for good or bad, and make adjustments along the way.
Also, Suter says the payment reform programs are entirely voluntary. And she says providers who do choose to participate wont have to assume any downside financial risk.
Certainly it is true that any uncertainty naturally breeds some amount of fear, Suter says. And we have seen that.

US won't let borders hamper fight vs. extremistsap photo
President Barack Obama approaches a podium in Edgartown, Mass., Wednesday, to address members of the media about the killing of American journalist James Foley by militants with the Islamic State extremist group.
WASHINGTON A senior White House official raised the possibility Friday of a broader American military campaign that targets an Islamic extremist groups bases in Syria, saying the U.S would take whatever action is necessary to protect national security.
Were not going to be restricted by borders, said Ben Rhodes, President Barack Obamas deputy national security adviser.
The White House said the president has received no military options beyond those he authorized earlier this month for limited airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Iraq and military aid to Iraqi and Kurdish forces. Thus far, the United States has avoided military involvement in Syrias three-year civil war. But faced with the Islamic State making gains across the region and the beheading an American journalist, the administrations resistance may be weakening.
Rhodes spoke a day after Obamas top military adviser warned the extremists cannot be defeated without addressing their sanctuary in Syria.
Many prominent Republicans and some Democrats have called on Obama to hit back harder at the Islamic State militants.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a prospective 2016 presidential candidate, said in an interview Friday that attacking their supply lines, command and control centers and economic assets inside Syria is at the crux of the decision for Obama. The risk of getting sucked into a new war is outweighed, he said, by the risk of inaction.
To hit back at the group, Obamas has stressed military assistance to Iraq and efforts to create a new, inclusive government in Baghdad that can persuade Sunnis to leave the insurgency. He also has sought to frame the Islamic State threat in terms that convince other countries not just in the Mideast but also in Europe of the need to create a broad coalition against the extremists.
Lukman Faily, the Iraqi ambassador to Washington, said in an interview this week that Baghdads new leadership has been told to expect additional military help once the new government is seated, possibly in early September. But an Iraqi counteroffensive may yield only temporary gains if the Islamic State retreats to areas of Syria beyond the governments control.
The U.S. cant defeat the Islamic State terrorist army in Iraq if it does not strike its leadership and core base in Syria simultaneously, said Oubai Shahbandar, a Washington-based senior strategist for the Western-backed opposition Syrian National Coalition group. A real strategy requires linkage of the military effort in Iraq with Syria, he said.
Rhodes said the U.S. was actively considering whats going to be necessary to deal with that threat. Speaking on the Massachusetts island of Marthas Vineyard, where Obama is on vacation, Rhodes said: Weve shown time and again that if theres a counterterrorism threat, well take direct action against that threat, if necessary.
The recent execution of journalist James Foley could be seen as a turning point in a long-running battle against the group, whose origins are in an al-Qaida offshoot that U.S. forces faced in Iraq several years ago, he said. Foleys killing, he added, was an attack on our country.
Obama faces tough decisions.
He can continue helping Iraqi forces try to reverse the groups land grabs in northern Iraq by providing more arms and American military advisers and by using U.S. warplanes to support Iraqi ground operations. On Friday, the Pentagon announced that U.S. warplanes made three more airstrikes against Islamic State targets near the Mosul Dam, including a machine gun position that was firing on Iraqi forces.
But what if the militants pull back, even partially, into Syria and regroup, as Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Thursday predicted they would, followed by a renewed offensive?
In a sense, youre just sort of back to where you were, said Robert Ford, a former U.S. ambassador to Syria who quit in February in disillusionment over Obamas unwillingness to arm moderate Syrian rebels.
I dont see how you can contain the Islamic State over the medium term if you dont address their base of operations in Syria, he said in an interview before intensified U.S. airstrikes this week helped Kurdish and Iraqi forces recapture the Mosul Dam.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Thursday the Islamic State militants can be contained only so long and at some point their Syrian sanctuary will have to be dealt with.
Can they be defeated without addressing that part of their organization which resides in Syria? The answer is no, he told a Pentagon news conference where Hagel called the group a dire threat that requires an international, not just an American, response.
That (sanctuary) will have to be addressed on both sides of what is essentially at this point a nonexistent border, Dempsey added. And that will come when we have a coalition in the region that takes on the task of defeating ISIS over time, he said, using an alternate acronym for the group. ISIS will only truly be defeated when its rejected by the 20 million disenfranchised Sunni that happen to reside between Damascus and Baghdad.
Just in Iraq, Obama has difficult choices to make. Its sectarian divisions and political dysfunction created the opening that allowed Islamic State fighters to sweep across northern Iraq in June, capturing U.S.-supplied weapons that Iraqi forces left behind when they fled without a fight.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

Write for Oprah? Wrong for Me
From January through June of 2010 I wrote a column entitled "The Health Inspector" in O, The Oprah Magazine. Now, apparently, I have been fired; although they have not had the common courtesy to tell me so. The whole thing has been a bizarre, frustrating experience.
It started last fall, when I got an e-mail from Tyler Graham. He introduced himself as the new health editor for O, The Oprah Magazine, saying he had only been on the job for 2 weeks. He had read my work in Skeptic magazine and wanted me to write a column for O. I thought long and hard before accepting. I told Mr. Graham my opinion of Oprah and of her chosen medical expert Dr. Oz and why I was hesitant to associate my name with theirs, and he seemed to understand. Oprah has been widely criticized recently, even in the pages of Newsweek, for endorsing pseudoscientific and non-scientific health advice on her TV show. As for Dr. Oz, while he mostly gives good medical advice, he has appalling lapses into non-science-based practices like Reiki, and he has even invited energy healers into his OR to assist in open-heart surgery cases by waving their hands over the patients. I foolishly assumed Mr.Graham was trying to improve Oprah's image by introducing more science and skepticism to the magazine. I decided to accept, for three reasons:
- It was a chance to get my name and a mention of the Science-Based Medicine blog before a large readership (O's circulation is nearly 3 million).
- I could make sure that at least my one little corner of the magazine was scientifically rigorous.
- They were going to pay me. Not much, and I didn't need the money, but you must understand that I had never before been paid a single penny for writing anything. My writing has been entirely pro bono. The idea of my writing finally being recognized as having monetary value was seductive.
The skeptical community was delighted to learn that the SkepDoc had infiltrated Oprahdom. One young man tweeted, "Dude, Hell just froze over!" I'm afraid the celebration was premature. (more…)

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
If you ever feel like your brain is cluttered because you have so many little tasks to do and you don't know what to do next, try this simple technique.
First, make a list of every single little thing that you need to do. Be sure that this list is complete and only contains the little things. Big projects should be left off the list. Now, start at the top of your list and complete each task one by one in a continuous unbroken stream of focused energy. By fusing all these small things into one single chunk of time you can quickly get everything done and out of your mind. This will allow you to focus your full attention on a bigger task, or to have a relaxing weekend knowing that all your chores are out of the way.
When you are under stress try this short exercise to put things in perspective. It might make your problem seem less stressful.
Mentally rewind your life ten years and remember what you were like at that time. Try to imagine how your current problem would have seemed back then. Would it have been as important? Now fast-forward ten years into the future and imagine how your life might be like. How important is your current problem to your future self? Chances are your current problem may seem insignificant to your future self and this might change your perspective on how you view your problem today.
When we worry about something, we cannot get the thought out of our minds and this may interfere with our creativity or ability to get a good nights sleep. Exporting your worries to a notebook is a helpful technique for postponing the worry to another time.
When you come to the time when you must deal with the worry, get out a clean piece of paper and write the worry at the top of the page. Below this write down your goal or what you want to happen. To continue the example above you may write down, "I want my boss to approve my proposal." Now, draw a line down the middle of the page. In the left column write down all the barriers and obstacles that stand in the way of you achieving your goal. In the right column, write down all of your skills and resources that can help you achieve your goal.
On the back of the paper, write down all the ways that you can use the items in the right column to overcome the obstacles in the left column. At the end of the exercise you will have lessened your worries and will have a plan for how best to proceed towards achieving your goal.
Most people worry about future events that may or may not happen. This expectation of something bad happening causes people stress even though the thing may never occur. One helpful technique for reducing worry is to export your worries to a notebook or diary.
Suppose you can't get to sleep because you are worrying about a meeting with your boss later in the week. Pick up your notebook and write down that worry. Now, set a time in the future and promise yourself that at that time you will review what you are worrying about and make a decision. This should help resolve the present worry and put it off to the designated time. An added benefit of this is that during the interim, your subconscious mind will have time to process the problem and come up with potential solutions. This is very similar to how the 'Letter to Yourself' technique works.
If you ask someone why they feel stressed, they may not be able to point to a specific reason. This is because stress often comes from a source that the sufferer may not fully understand. If you have an easily identified source of stress, you are lucky (try to get rid of it). Most people cannot figure out why they feel stressed.
Stress comes in three flavors: physical, emotional, and behavioral. A physical stress might be an injury, an annoying sound or an uncomfortable chair. Emotional stress includes things like fighting with a friend, or the death of a loved one. Behavioral stress might come from alcohol, caffeine, or poor sleep.
Looking at these areas and taking a step back to look at the bigger picture may help someone understand where their stress is coming from. For example, someone who feels tense all the time may not realize that it's because of poor sleep due to noisy neighbors (behavioral and physical stress). A good pair of earplugs may make all the difference in the world! Try examining the various parts of your life to see if you can find something that might be causing stress. Experiment to see if eliminating the stressor makes you feel better.

After the City Council voted to override Mayor Peter Carlisle's veto of Bill 11 on Aug. 15, all commercial activity at Kailua and Kalama beach parks came to a grinding halt.
However, large stagecoach tour buses continue to roam the residential neighborhood, providing a boost to local businesses, but frustrating longtime locals.
"People have had to deal with safety problems with tour buses, with diesel fumes and with huge hoards hordes of people crossing streets at the same time," said Chuck Prentiss, chair of the Kailua Neighborhood Board.
Thursday morning morning, a meeting was held at HTA headquarters at the Hawaii Convention Center to discuss how large tour buses could continue to bring visitors to the popular beach parks without disturbing Kailua residents. The gathering was attended by 40 to 50 people, including several representatives from tour bus companies.
"I think we're trying to find a way to find some balance in this so that everyone can feel comfortable and feel good about what's going on out there," said McCartney. "We're looking for alternatives that minimize the impact on the community, and also provide the best guest experience possible."
Councilman Ikaika Anderson, who represents Kailua and sponsored Bill 11, told KITV4 one of the ideas being floated is to find a private, commercially zoned lot where stagecoach tour buses could park, and then ferry tourists to Kailua and Kalama beach parks in less cumbersome vehicles. Anderson was among those who attended the HTA meeting.
"I think it's a reasonable solution if we're looking at vehicles that would take tourists in decent numbers, 15 to 25 at a time, to get to where they're going," said the councilman. "I have been talking to people in my community to let them know that we do need to be mindful of our neighborhood businesses, while at the same time protecting the rights and the comfort of our Kailua residents."
Still, Prentiss doesn't believe residents who fought over a year to pass Bill 11 would be agreeable to any compromise that allows large tour buses to continue roving through Kailua streets.
"They could offload the tourists at the Pali Lookout if they want to and walk down, and it'll still be illegal," he said. "If it's part of an organized tour, then it's not legal."
But Anderson rejects any notion that Bill 11 was meant to control commercial activity outside of the two beach parks. He said all of the testimony and debate leading up to passage of the measure focused on regulating for-profit activities inside the popular areas, which had become unmanageable because of kayak rentals and other ventures.
"Anyone who tells you that the intent of the bill was to prevent commercial activity around the beach park and all over Kailua are severely misguided," said Anderson.
Kaneohe Ranch, which manages real estate owned by the family trusts of Harold K.L. Castle and Alice H. Castle, already allows stagecoach buses to park at an empty lot on Hekili Street, but visitors are forced to walk and many never make it to the beach.
Parks and Recreation Director Gary Cabato said any compromise that allows tourists to walk into the two beach parks on their own would not be a violation of Bill 11, as long as smaller vehicles that ferry visitors to the areas remain outside park boundaries.
Meanwhile, Bob Twogood, owner of Twogood Kayaks Hawaii in Kailua, said his business has dropped significantly after the commercial ban at the two beach parks began last month. Before the bill took effect, Twogood's 14 workers used to deliver kayaks to the water's edge, but no longer.
"I've laid-off over half my staff to this point, and we'll see how it goes over the next couple of months whether I have to lay off even more," he said.
Twogood said any compromise that takes the interests of businesses, tour bus operators and residents into account, is a good start.
"I think it's a really good move in the right direction," he said.
But McCartney said any solution could be weeks, or even months away.
"I think we have our work cut out for us, we still have a lot of work to do," he said.

Never Again!so i had been looking into this product for sometime now and like most other products had mixed reviews from people. when i decided to buy the product i was so exited only to find that the product sucks! The smell is strongly horrible! my entire house smelled even after i was finished! second, the product only made my hair frizzier, and drier. i have long wavyish hair. When i was younger i had really curly hair but when i started straightening it in middle school my curls fell and now only some parts get wavy. even though i have my hair colore black the saleswomen at sally's said i did not have to get the one for tinted hair so i chose the normal formula! i followed the instructions closely and did not like the results! i do not recommend this product at all! save your money, or use something other than this.Jun 5, 2011MaribelHAIR TYPEBlack / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Followed Exactly- Absolutely Did Not WorkMy teen son wanted his hair straighter for summer so he wouldn't have to blow it dry or flat iron it (his hair is kind of long) so much. His hair is thick and naturally wavy (but not curly at all). I studied the box for this product and it even shows a picture of the results you can expect with wavy hair (as opposed to curly). I followed the directions exactly, even bought a special comb for the purpose. I left the product on the full 15 minute maximum and then rinsed, did step 2, etc... The long and the short of it is that the product did not work at all. If anything, it might have stripped out some of the color in his hair (I bought the type for color treated hair).
So, the only explanation I have in light of the many positive reviews on this site, is that maybe if you have extreme curl, you will see a benefit but it just doesn't work for wavy hair (despite the picture on the box).May 17, 2011JamieHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Dont Do It!Ok, I researched this product and debated for a month to use it or not. I did, and I miss my curls. I am white and I have long thick curly coarse hair. Well, it was soft for about 5 minutes! lol I have to laugh because my hair is totally ruined. I have cut alot of it off and what is left is terrible. I lost my curls and hy hair resembles dry cracked straw. I will never do this again and I am just hoping my curls will come back one day. Its been about 5 weeks
am worried it is ruined fo rgood!Apr 12, 2011Suzie / OhioHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

It worked for the days i didnt wash it. after 48 hours or so i washed it and when it dried (today) it just went back to normal. at first i thought it worked.. but i guess it just came out. :( and my hair isnt even that wavy.

Finally Got The Courage To Try It!My hair is naturally wavy / curly especially underneath, however it grows in straight on the top. I have a definite "S" pattern but it is not tight curly. I have very coarse, thick. naturally light brown hair that I highlight blond. I was concerned that I would possibly damage the highlighted part of my hair, even though I purchased the "tinted" version,therefore, I decided to just use the product on the back underneath the top layer to the roots.
I had a friend help me since I was trying to only get the underneath section. It only took 20 minutes start to finish. Results were "ok" - some of the curl was definitely looser, however, I was hoping for more of a straight result, especially at roots where it is most kinky (btw, they said for naturally curly hair to start 1 inch from root or something like that, but we went as close to the root as possible). I think I should've left the product on longer, however, I was borderline maximum time as it was. My hair just must be very resilient. I did not notice ANY damage at all, just a somewhat looser curl that made my hair appear slightly longer. So all in all,I am glad I used this product and had better success than other "brazilian" or "keratin" treatments I have used at home before, plus much easier as I did not have to "straighten" hair with the product in it or wait 48 hours after wards to get wet or use ponytails.
I would say that this was a positive experience, with no damage, and much less expensive than other products I have tried, and with better results. And takes much less time because you are not blowing the hair dry or straightening it, I gave it 4 stars since it did not actually "remove the curl" , just made it less curly.

Beautiful Results For Semi-coarse Ethnic Hair !!!This product gave me excellent results! I have ethnic hair with a loose curly/wavy pattern to it. I had let my hair go natural. When I say natural...that's without any chemicals at all until now. No hair color, nothing at all. I really contemplated a long time before deciding to use ONO because I was not sure that I wanted to cut my hair short again if the results were not what was expected.
I am so grateful this kind of product was available for home use because I probally would have had to spend around $50 to $100 for this type of service at a reputable hair salon.
I followed directions to the letter and allowed the mixtures to stay on my head as the directions recommended for my hair type. The curls were loosened just enough for me to comb through my hair effortlessly. Afterward, I did use a deep protein conditioner to make sure my hair would be in great shape. My hair is soft and silky, not frizzy, puffy or brittle at all. The maintenance products that I use on a daily basis for my curls....such as mousses, leave in conditioners and various herbal and natural oils....are used in lesser quantities because of the new texture of my hair. I'm only sorry that I wasn't able to have my hair all natural as it grew out longer but ONO has made the decision easier because my hair journey has become less difficult by using it.
One n Only would get a "10 Star" rating from me if I could give it that. I would recommend this product to anyone with semi-coarse textured ethnic hair in a heartbeat. You will love how it leaves your hair in great shape after using it. I intend on purchasing more as I need to relax my curls every 4 to 6 months as needed for the regrowth.
I hope this review helps someone whom may be in the same hair predicament that I was in.

Go A Level Higher: Use It As A Japanese Straightener! It Works!I used this for japanese straightening method. Yes it works! For its price, it's very cheap and e-c-o-n-o-m-i-c-a-l. One box is more than enough for my mom's hair which is 2 inches below shoulder level.
USe a high quality ceramic (real not plated) or tourmaline iron, at steady 400-410 C Temp. You can risk burning at 450 C.
I absolutely love this product. Cheap yet effective.Nov 8, 2010BenHAIR TYPEBlack / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

It Works And It's Affordable!I'm of mixed heritage and relaxers straighten my hair too much and leave it with no body. This product reduces the curl, controls the frizz and I have lots of body. The only thing I can't stand about it, is the smell. With this product, I can wash and go, which is a miracle!Oct 31, 2010SequoiaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Bad ResultsI bought this product after reading the reviews and went in with high expectations. I used the normal formula and followed the directions exactly. I have naturally curly hair and this stuff just made it look terrible! Now I have some straight parts and some curly parts but the biggest problem is the frizz. I've never had this much frizz! Maybe I did something wrong, but I don't know what. I feel so dumb for damaging my hair to save some money on a real straightening.Sep 1, 2010Mary

Great Perm Be Gone!!!i decided to get a spiral perm a week ago. It was supposed to be smooth & soft waves but the hair stylest neglected to tell me she had never done that type of perm after she had rinsed it out! I was mortified... I went home and quickly tried to comb it and style needless to say nothing worked. My husband suggested that I just wear it down, but it was neck lenght short and just to frizzy and extremly dry even with mouse or leave in conditioners. I searched the web and came upon this site and read reviews for hours. It was incredible cheap so I had doubts but I figured nothing else can make my hair look any worse. Three days after my horrible perm my sis helped me with the ONO it was an ABSOLUTE MIRACLE!!!! My husband was shoked and turns out my hair cut is acctualy really cute short layered bob. My hair still gets a little frizzy in some ares but with a quick flat iron it's bone straight. I do recomend an intense conditioner.
THANK YOU for all of your great reviews I now log on for all sorts of tips & products!Jun 29, 2010Mila

The King and Jeff
I wish I was the kind of person who enjoyed aiming low blows at my friends. I'd like to be able to question why someone who will turn 30 thirteen
short days after me is counting down the days to my own birthday. I wish I could sit here and wonder out loud if my friend not having a girlfriend for the last several years somehow affected his cognitive skills. It would be great to openly wonder why he thinks that dousing himself in the smell of BK is effective for picking up women. But, I'm not that kind of person. I'm a real friend.
So, I'm not going to address the spurious accusations made at my expense yesterday. It would be demeaning to all of us and the work we do if I pointed out that most of the baseball intelligentsia thought the Tigers would win the World Series last year and concluded that Dave Dombrowski had hoodwinked the entire league with his off-season moves. I'd be doing no one a favor by saying that Detroit and the state of Michigan have been suffering since the 70's (just watch The Crow, Gran Torino or Eight Mile to see what I'm talking about) and it's only natural that its residents hopelessness would also be reflected in their view of sporting pursuits.
No, I refuse to debase myself in the same way as my friend. Instead, in the spirit of this new year full of hope and change, I'm going to say, "good luck, Jeffery." I hope the Cardinals pick up some relief pitching so AP's offense isn't wasted. I hope that 30 treats you well and really is the new 21. And I hope that you go on a date. Seriously, though, you gotta rid of the BK cologne first.

Allen, the maturity you show is refreshing. Shall I assume that we will hear later about your love life as well? And I guess I need to ask you as well, where should I send Jeff's birthday present? He did, after all, provide an address for me to use for your gift.
Julia, you'll will hear all about it… stay tuned😉
PS, what's wrong with the BK scent?
Mr Krause, Thank you for elevating the level of discourse at this pig trough. And thank you for your service.
I feel the love between you two right now, and it's beautiful. I'm choked up as I write this. Peace.
You can sell that rights to this blog as a modern version of Oscar and Felix in the technological age. Good stuff.

Jane, yes, there's love… in a weird brotherly sorta way😉
And yes, Greg, I believe you're right. I'm guessing Allen would be Walter Mathau.
Now don't get too down on Michigan it had a song about it "Especially in Michigan" on the last Chili Pepper album. Great tune on a great album if I may say so.
"Life is my friend
Rake it up to take it in
Wrap me in your cinnamon
Especially in Michigan
…well I could be your friend
White clouds I'm in
A mitten full of fisherman
C'mon Huckleberry Finn
Show me how to make her grin
…well I'm in Michigan
Cry me a future
Where the revelations run amok
Ladies and gentlemen
Lions and tigers come running
Just to steal your luck"
Not too shabby. Colorado hasn't really had anything since Ol' Johnny Denver put out Rocky Mountain High but he had to fly into a mountain and down went our number one songwriter. The Peppers are on "hiatus" but you got love and you still may get more from them!
Devil's Advocate here and wishing Eminem would get back to work:
From "Lose Yourself" (8 Mile)
"I've got to formulate a plot 'fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherf***ing option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in 'salem's lot
So here I go its my shot
Feet fail me not cause it maybe the only opportunity I got.

Wow, fellas. Nice work. All I can say in response is "Ya gotta keep ya head up"

This is a NASA Hubble Space Telescope color image of Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt.
Astronomers enhanced the sharpness in these Advanced Camera for Surveys images to bring out features on Ceres' surface, including brighter and darker regions that could be asteroid impact features. The observations were made in visible and ultraviolet light between December 2003 and January 2004.
The colors represent the differences between relatively red and blue regions. These differences may simply be due to variation on the surface among different types of material.
Ceres' round shape suggests that its interior is layered like those of terrestrial planets such as Earth. Ceres may have a rocky inner core, an icy mantle, and a thin, dusty outer crust inferred from its density and rotation rate of 9 hours. Ceres is approximately 590 miles (950 kilometers) across and was first discovered in 1801.

Struggling US Internet pioneer Yahoo! said it would slash some 2,000 jobs in a purge aimed at transforming into a "smaller, nimbler, more profitable'' company.
Yahoo! chief executive Scott Thompson, who took the helm in January promising to turn the company around after a year of falling income, said the job cuts were a "tough decision'' to achieve that goal.
"We are intensifying our efforts on our core businesses and redeploying resources to our most urgent priorities,'' Thompson said in a statement.
"Our goal is to get back to our core purpose - putting our users and advertisers first - and we are moving aggressively to achieve that goal,'' he continued.
The restructuring will center on "select'' groups and the platforms that support them, the Sunnyvale, California-based company said.
A key focus will be data that drives "deep'' personalisation for users and return on investment for advertisers.
"Today's actions are an important next step toward a bold, new Yahoo! - smaller, nimbler, more profitable and better equipped to innovate as fast as our customers and our industry require,'' Thompson said.
Yahoo! has been trying to re-invent itself as a "premier digital media'' company since the once-flowering Internet search service found itself withering in Google's shadow.
As the company has strived for a new identity it has seen an exodus of talent that commenced during a failed bid by technology giant Microsoft to buy Yahoo! four years ago for about $45 billion.
"They have been bleeding talent for a while,'' said independent Silicon Valley analyst Rob Enderle.
"At some point, all of the smart people leave because otherwise you are just waiting around to be shot,'' he continued. "There are places like Google and Facebook they can go work for.''
While Thompson did not share details on the company's "core values'' that are now in focus, they appeared to involve publishing online content tailored to tastes of website visitors.
"The rhetoric around the layoffs indicates he is taking Yahoo! down to a publishing core as a supersite,'' Enderle said.
"The super-portal things are very dot-com, and that didn't work out very well,'' he continued with a reference to the legendary boom and bust that took place in the Internet industry more than a decade ago.
Add into the mix that Yahoo! recently announced it would launch a tool allowing users to signal that they do not want their online activities tracked, which is a key component of effectively targeting lucrative ads.
The Internet firm's share of US online ad revenues sank to 9.5 percent last year from 15.7 percent in 2009 and will drop further this year, according to eMarketer.
Social networking giant Facebook is becoming the preferred venue for display advertising key to Yahoo! revenue while Google's dominance in search advertising strengthens, eMarketer indicated.
Yahoo! relies on Microsoft's Bing search engine to handle queries at its websites, customizing results for users.
The company said it would notify approximately 2,000 people that their jobs have been eliminated or would be in the future. It gave no details on the timing of the layoffs.
The 17-year-old company had more than 14,000 employees at the end of 2011. It also has a large number of software contract workers.
A Yahoo! spokeswoman told AFP that the 14 percent workforce reduction was "not across the board'' but that "most units have been impacted.'' She would not disclose further details.
The shakeup could target Yahoo's public relations and marketing division, research, and region-focused and other marginal businesses.
Yahoo! said Wednesday it expects $375 million in annualised savings from the job cuts.
"With a clear focus on profitability and growth, the company will be disciplined in its investments and radically simplify how it builds, launches and maintains many of its properties and products,'' it said.
Yahoo! stock price slipped slightly to $15.06 in midday trading in an overall declining market.
Thompson, formerly head of mobile payments firm PayPal, became chief executive after months of turmoil at Yahoo!, including deadlocked talks over possibly selling off the company's valuable assets in China and Japan.
Two weeks after Thompson was recruited, Yahoo! co-founder and former chief executive Jerry Yang resigned from the board of directors.
A few weeks later the chairman and three other directors said they would step down, opening the way for Thompson's agenda.

The sea slug is a herbivorous animals and feeds on plankton and decaying matter on the ocean floor, along with grazing on the rocks and coral reefs for algae. By munching on the decomposing plant matter on the ocean floor, the sea slug is of great benefit to every marine environment where the sea inhabits.
Due to their motionless nature, sea slugs are often very exposed and are therefore popular prey for a wide variety of predatory animals in the oceans. Crabs, lobsters, fish and even humans are among the animals that prey on the fleshy sea slug.
Some species of sea slug are able to protect themselves from danger by wrapping their tentacles around potential predators, so that the predator is unable to harm them. This only applies however to the species of sea slug that actually have tentacles, others are completely defenceless.
The sea slug is often an interesting addition to a salt-water aquarium and can be useful in keeping the algae levels at a minimum. Although the sea slug leads a relatively motionless existence, they are an important factor in any marine environment.
There are known to be thousands of different sea slug species found around the world and it is estimated that there are many more species of sea slug that have not yet been discovered. Sea slugs can range in size from just a few millimetres to more than 30 centimetres in length and can be found in a variety of colours and shapes.
The sea slug is a hermaphrodite, meaning that the sea slug has both male and female reproductive organs. Sea slugs release eggs into the water in ribbon-like sticky clusters which can contain thousands of eggs but usually much less. The eggs are fertilized and the sea slug larvae (the baby sea slugs) soon develop and become bigger, after hatching from their sticky eggs.
Sea slugs are not only harvested for food by humans but are also used in traditional medicines particularly in the far east as the extracts from the sea cucumbers are said to have healing properties.

Laurier faculty, alumni honoured among 2014 Juno Award nominees
Feb 13/14
There is no shortage of Laurier connections among the recently announced 2014 Juno Award nominees.
Laurier alumnus and faculty member Guy Few is featured as a trumpet soloist on the latest release by the Group of 27 Chamber Orchestra, the Canadian Concerto Project Volume One, which was nominated in the Classical Album, Large Ensemble or Soloist(s) with Large Ensemble Accompaniment category.
However, Few (BMus 86) isnt the only Laurier connection to this nomination. Man will only grieve if he believes the sun stands still, one of the songs on the album, was composed by professor Glenn Buhr, while Laurier Musician-In-Residence and Penderecki String Quartet violinist, Jeremy Bell performed as concertmaster for this recording project with the Group of 27.
Laurier alumnus Shadrach Shad Kabango (BBA 05) was also nominated for a Juno Award, making the shortlist in the Rap Recording of the Year category for his album Flying Colours, which was released in October 2013. This is Kabangos third nomination in the category, which he won in 2011 for his album TSOL.
Meanwhile, noted concert pianist Janina Fialkowska, who received an honourary Doctor of Letters from Laurier in 2013, was nominated in the Classical Album of the Year: Solo or Ensemble category for her recording of Concerto Nos. 13 and 14 with The Chamber Players of Canada.
The 2014 Juno Awards will be held in Winnipeg, MB with winners being announced throughout the week of March 24-30.

This year, the dance is expected to spill out into the parking lot west of the dance hall. Organizers are expecting as many as 500 A.C. Jones High School graduates to be there dancing to the tunes of the popular Austin rock bank, Suede.
Danny Swinney, a 1971 A.C. Jones graduate, is the bassist for the group and has been playing with them since 2007.
The big event is scheduled to kick off at 3 p.m. on April 27 and shut down at 1 a.m. Sunday.
The event will begin at 3 p.m. at T's, giving everybody a chance to get reacquainted and start getting ready for the party.
From 5:30 until 7:30 p.m., dinner will be served, and Suede will start playing promptly at 8 p.m. The music will continue until midnight, and then the exes will have an hour to say their goodbye until next year.
Tickets are $20 each, but that gets the exes into the party, provides dinner and two drink tickets and a koozie to keep the beer cold.
Those who plan to eat should make a reservation by April 20. And those who need a place to stay while in town should be calling one of the local hotels or motels soon because lodging at the new motels popping up around the city is hard to find these days because of the ongoing oil boom.
Those who choose not to eat dinner will be able to get in after 8 p.m. for a $10 cover charge.
The dance will be open to the public.
T's manager Gary Tindol said music lovers will want to make it to the dance Saturday night.
"These guys are big time," Tindol said of Suede.

Knocking On Doors Persistently Pays Off
Originally published: 05.01.13 by Andres Lara
Whether you are a business person trying to get more sales, a manager trying to find the right hire, an IT employee trying to write new software, or just the average Joe trying to get the most out of existence, your life will be a lot easier if you understand some basic principles in the art of persistence, determination, and influence.
Keep in mind that whether you are a salesperson or not, you are always knocking on some kind of physical or mental door, and your level of success and happiness will depend on how good you are at getting through those doors. So, as you go on knocking at the doorsteps of bigger and better things, keep these five ideas in mind:
1. Be patient.
No door was ever built with the purpose of being closed for eternity, for a wall would have been erected on its place. If you have been knocking on a door for quite a while and nobody has answered, be patient. However, do not confuse patience with laziness. Laziness is doing nothing. Patience, on the other hand, is actively waiting; it's suppressing negative emotions like complaints, restlessness, or annoyance while confronted with
You must understand that the world doesn't revolve around your timing; you revolve around it. And just like a farmer understands the timing of a seed and will not expect it to sprout any sooner; understand that some doors will open at their own time and not any sooner.
2. Reasons make more sense on paper.
From time to time, you might grow weary. If this happens, it's because you are getting too caught up on the mere routine of knocking on doors. It is easy to get discouraged and lose hope when you lose sight of what initiated your quest. It helps to have a list of at least 10 reasons why you must get through this particular door. Keep this list in a place you see frequently like on a refrigerator door, bathroom mirror, or even in your wallet. This will fuel your daily knocking with purpose.
3. Knock with confidence.
Just as you would probably regard a couple of soft knocks in the middle of the night as someone knocking on the wrong door and ignore them, your knocks — if done reluctantly and infrequently — will also be ignored. Your frequency and loudness will broadcast a message about whether or not you believe you are knocking on the wrong door. Conviction is contagious. Increase the frequency and loudness of your knocks, and this will convey conviction, which will open more doors.
If you are ever concerned about turning off a prospect, look back on specific instances when someone in the past rejoiced at the fact that you didn't give up on them. It's also helpful to remember that those who like you will like you no matter what you do, and those who dislike you would have disliked you anyway.
4. Affirm yourself.
Before you knock on any door, repeat this statement aloud and with enthusiasm at least 10 times: "Whatever brought me to this door I am currently knocking on understands that somehow I possess something of immense substance which only I can deliver." At times, affirming yourself is more important than the actual act of knocking for the frequency of your state of mind usually arrives days before you ever get to any door.
5. Have faith.
If getting through the current door you are knocking on will help you create relationships that will make your wildest dream come true, would you ever stop knocking on this door? Perhaps the only thing missing right now in your life is the fact that you are not treating whatever door you are knocking on as such. Believe that something bigger than yourself brought you to this door. And remember that faith is the beginning to every accomplishment.
Knock on every door today with extreme confidence as though a positive response is awaiting you. Approach the day as though the opportunity of a lifetime is right behind one of the doors you are going to be knocking on and since you don't know which door it is, treat every door with the upmost respect. When all else fails, remember to be patient and that not now doesn't mean not ever.
These concepts can be summarized with Calvin Coolidge's statement: "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." n

Karnes County's newest restaurant opened last week, and crowds flocked to try out the new place with a colorful dog face logo on its sign.
Located midway between Kenedy and Karnes County on the east side of U.S. Highway 181, the restaurant will offer steaks, burgers, beer, mixed drinks and a many other items on the menu.
General Manager David Swartz told The Karnes Countywide in a recent interview that the restaurant is the second in a "short" chain of restaurants – the first is located in Carizzo Springs.
"We want to bring really good food and really good service to these towns," Swartz said. "Everything that we do is scratch made."
Swartz said the restaurant is owned by a group of partners who have restaurants in the Houston and San Antonio areas and come from restaurant backgrounds.
The business idea at the core of the "Red Dogs" is somewhat novel, Swartz explained.
The concept is a fully portable restaurant that can be packed up and moved easily to a new location, as customer demand changes, especially customer demand associated with people working for oil and gas companies who are actively producing from the Eagle Ford Shale throughout several counties in South Texas.
"Our kitchen, bathrooms, freezers and dish area are all on a trailer skid module," Swartz said. "The entire restaurant is put together in a fashion that can be unbolted and taken down."
While Karnes County has seen an explosion of new hotels in the past four years, there haven't been very many new restaurants set up for business in Karnes County.
While the restaurant in Carizzo Springs incorporates more "tent" areas – canvass sides and canvass top – for customer dining, the owners are taking a slightly different approach with the Karnes County location, instead opting for a metal building based on what they have learned along the way.
The metal building is expected to be more comfortable for customers than the tent-based design in Carizzo Springs, Swartz said, especially during very cold weather.
While the design is portable, Swartz said the Karnes County Red Dog Ice House has no plans to move anywhere in the foreseeable future.
The Carizzo Springs Red Dog serves between 350 and 400 customers per day, Swartz said. He expects to serve an even greater number of customers in Karnes County due to a restaurant design that has greater seating capacity – both inside and outside in patio areas surrounding the building.
A private dining room is part of the 3,200 square-foot building set aside for meetings or other special events. Combined with the patio areas, Swartz says the restaurant can serve 400 customers at any given time.
Fireplaces will help add to the charm of the patio areas, Swartz said, and a full bar is available inside the no-smoking restaurant.
"We are a restaurant first," Swartz explained. "We are not a bar that serves food."
Swartz said that the types of food available on the menu is similar to what people may have enjoyed at the Texas Roadhouse chain of restaurants scattered across Texas, with steaks, pork-chops, ribs, burgers, appetizers, sides and more on the menu.
The plan is not to take anything away from the local restaurants in the area, Swartz explained, but rather to give Karnes County more restaurant choices and a greater variety. With the oil boom happening now, and what the partners anticipate will happen in the near future, there will be a very large number of hungry customers working and living in Karnes County in the years to come.
"It is filling a niche," Swartz. "We are here to add to the experience."
Swarz said most of the local restaurants are overwhelmed by the demand that has changed so dramatically in recdent years and it is not uncommon for customers to have to wait longer than an hour to get served.
"Everything in this area is overwhelmed right now," Swartz said, noting that it took longer than anticipated to get the new restaurant up and running since the project had to wait for power service and other services needed to get the latest Red Dog up and running.

Smith named aquatics director at D&E
Davis & Elkins College Head Men's and Women's Swimming Coach Nick Smith has been appointed aquatics director, a position in which he oversees all aspects of the pool area.
As aquatics director, Smith is in charge of coordinating with outside groups wishing to use the pool, hiring and maintaining the lifeguard staff, organizing swim lessons and overseeing the upkeep of the swimming pool facility, including the locker rooms.
"The pool area has had many welcome changes over the past year," Smith said. "We hope to continue improving the facility as well as offer new opportunities for community involvement. We have already more than doubled the amount of pool hours open to the public and we look forward to adding more opportunities in the future."
Smith previously worked in the D&E Admission Office. He recently entered his second season of collegiate coaching and will continue in that post in addition to his new duties. Under Smith's leadership, the 2012-2013 swim teams set 18 school records.
Prior to coming to D&E, Smith taught AP Government and U.S. History at Spring Valley High School in Huntington. He established the swimming program at Spring Valley and was the school's first swim coach. During his tenure at Spring Valley, Smith coached 18 state qualifiers, five collegiate athletes and one national qualifier.
Smith earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and social studies education from Marshall University in 2008. He also was a member of the Marshall Swim Team and completed certified lifeguard training. He swam competitively for nine years for summer league, club, high school and collegiate teams.
He is also the worship leader at First Baptist Church of Elkins.
The newly renovated pool area will be dedicated during Homecoming Weekend, Oct. 18-20. The facility upgrades include a new roof and ventilation system, digital pace clocks for lap swimmers, an electronic scoreboard and renovations to the men's and women's locker rooms.
