Dale Hunter told Washington Capitals GM George McPhee during a meeting this morning that he will not be returning to the Caps next year as head coach. The decision comes shortly after the Capitals early exit from the NHL Playoffs.
According to the Washington Post:
"Dale and I met about 10 o'clock and he let me know that he will not be able to return as the coach," McPhee said, speaking on breakdown day at Kettler Capitals Iceplex. "He's going to head back to London [Ontario]. I guess we're all fathers and sons and husbands first before anything else, and if we have our priorities right in this life, family comes first. And Dale needs to go home."
"I thought he did a great job of coming in and helping us out," McPhee said. "Trying to hire a coach in the middle of the season is a difficult process. …So to have Dale available to come in, even if on a temporary basis, was something we liked a lot. That's why we did a one year deal, because we didn't know if he could do it beyond this season."
"I don't know whether it will be by the draft or sometime in August, like New Jersey did," he added. "We're going to take our time and get the right person."
Asked if he attempted to persuade Hunter to stay, McPhee said he did not.
"There's no gray in Dale's life," he said. "He's very decisive. The only thing I asked Dale was, 'Does this have anything to do with anything that's going on here?' He said, 'Absolutely not. He loved it here. This is his team.'"

Deepwater stingray
|Deepwater stingray
|Scientific classification
K. Nishida, 1990
K. Nishida, 1990
|P. daviesi
|Binomial name
|Plesiobatis daviesi
(J. H. Wallace, 1967)
|Range of the deepwater stingray[2]
Urolophus marmoratus Chu, Hu & Li, 1981
The deepwater stingray or giant stingaree (Plesiobatis daviesi) is a species of stingray and the sole member of the family Plesiobatidae. It is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific, typically over fine sediments on the upper continental slope at depths of 275–680 m (900–2,230 ft). This species reaches 2.7 m (8.9 ft) in length and 1.5 m (4.9 ft) in width. It has an oval pectoral fin disc with a long, flexible, broad-angled snout. Most of the entire latter half of its tail supports a distinctively long, slender, leaf-shaped caudal fin. Its coloration is dark above and white below, and its skin is almost completely covered by tiny dermal denticles.
Preying on crustaceans, cephalopods, and bony fishes, the deepwater stingray may hunt both on the sea floor and well above it in open water. It is probably aplacental viviparous, with the mother supplying her gestating young with histotroph ("uterine milk"). Captured rays merit caution due to their long, venomous stings. This species is taken by deepwater commercial fisheries, but in numbers too small to significantly threaten its population. Therefore, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed it as Least Concern.
Taxonomy and phylogeny[edit]
The first scientific description of the deepwater stingray was authored by John H. Wallace, as part of a 1967 Investigational Report from the Oceanographic Research Institute, Durban. He named the new species daviesi in honor of David H. Davies, the late director of the ORI, and placed it in the genus Urotrygon based on its long, low caudal fin and lack of a dorsal fin. The type specimens were collected during September 1996 near the Limpopo River mouth in Mozambique: the holotype is a mature male 92 cm (36 in) across, and the paratype is an immature male 33 cm (13 in) across.[3] Other common names for this species include Davies' stingray and giant stingray.[4]
In a 1990 morphological phylogenetic study, Kiyonori Nishida concluded that the deepwater stingray and the sixgill stingray (Hexatrygon bickelli) were the most basal stingrays (suborder Myliobatoidei). Therefore, he moved this species to its own genus, Plesiobatis, and family, Plesiobatidae; the name is derived from the Greek plesio ("primitive") and batis ("ray").[5] Subsequent morphological studies have corroborated the basal position of Plesiobatis, but disagreed on its relationships to nearby taxa. John McEachran, Katherine Dunn, and Tsutomu Miyake in 1996 could not fully resolve the position of Plesiobatis, thus they assigned it provisionally to the family Hexatrygonidae.[6] McEachran and Neil Aschliman in 2004 found Plesiobatis to be the sister taxon of Urolophus, and recommended that it be placed in the family Urolophidae.[7] Until the phylogeny is better-resolved, authors have tended to preserve the family Plesiobatidae.[2][8]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Records of the deepwater stingray come from a number of locations scattered widely in the Indo-Pacific: KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa and Mozambique, the Gulf of Mannar, the northern Andaman Islands, the South China Sea, the Ryukyu Islands and the Kyushu-Palau Ridge, along the southern coastline of Australia, northwestern Australia from the Rowley Shoals to Shark Bay, northeastern Australia from Townsville to Wooli, New Caledonia, and Hawaii.[1][9][10][11] This bottom-dwelling species generally inhabits the upper continental slope at depths of 275–680 m (900–2,230 ft), over muddy or silty substrates.[11] An anomalous record from only 44 m (144 ft) deep off Mozambique was made. It seems to be locally common in tropical Australian waters, but may be rarer elsewhere.[1]
The deepwater stingray has a flabby body,[11] with enlarged pectoral fins forming a disc usually longer than it is wide. The leading margins of the disc converge at a broad angle. The snout is thin and measures over six times as long as the diameter of the orbit; the snout tip protrudes slightly from the disc. The small eyes are positioned just ahead of the spiracles, which have angular posterior rims. The large, circular nostrils are placed close to the mouth, to which they are connected by a pair of broad grooves. Between the nostrils is a broad curtain of skin with a strongly fringed posterior margin. The wide, straight mouth contains 32–60 tooth rows in either jaw, increasing in number with age. Each tooth is small with a low, blunt cusp; in adult males the teeth at the center are sharp and backward-pointing. The five pairs of gill slits are small and placed beneath the disc.[2][10]
The pelvic fins are small and have blunt outer corners. The moderately thick tail measures 93–102% as long as the disc and lacks lateral skin folds and dorsal fins. One or two serrated stinging spines are present atop the tail, just ahead of the halfway point. The slender caudal fin originates a short distance behind the sting; it is symmetrical above and below, and terminates in a rounded leaf-like shape. The skin is densely covered by fine dermal denticles, that become sparse to absent on the pelvic fins, towards the ventral disc margin, and around the mouth. The deepwater stingray is purplish brown to blackish above; some rays also have irregular darker blotches and spots. The underside is white, with a narrow dark border along the lateral disc margins. The tail is entirely dark, and the caudal fin is black. This large species grows up to 2.7 m (8.9 ft) long, 1.5 m (4.9 ft) across, and 118 kg (260 lb) in weight off southern Africa, though it is not known to exceed 2.0 m (6.6 ft) long off Australia.[2][3][10]
Biology and ecology[edit]
The diet of the deepwater stingray consists of cephalopods, crustaceans (including penaeid prawns, crabs, and lobsters), and bony fishes (including eels).[1][4] Its long, flexible snout is well-suited for rooting through sediment, while the presence of mesopelagic species in its diet suggest that it may also hunt well above the sea floor.[11] One recorded individual was found severely gouged by kitefin sharks (Dalatias licha), which are capable of excising plugs of flesh, cookiecutter-like, from larger animals.[2] The deepwater stingray is presumed to be similar to other stingrays in being aplacental viviparous, and having the developing embryos nourished by maternally produced histotroph ("uterine milk"). Given its large size and deepwater habits, it is probably not highly prolific, with a small litter size and a long gestation period. The young are apparently born at close to 50 cm (20 in) long, as evidenced by the capture of a free-living specimen of that size that still bore a yolk sac scar. Males and females mature sexually at 1.3–1.7 m (4.3–5.6 ft) and 1.9–2.0 m (6.2–6.6 ft) long respectively. The maximum size, and likely also the maturation size, varies between geographic regions.[1][2][10]
Human interactions[edit]
When captured, the deepwater stingray flails its powerful tail violently, and its long, venomous sting can inflict a serious injury to a fishery worker. It is caught incidentally by deepwater bottom trawls and longlines; the meat may be sold but is poorly regarded.[10][11] None of the deepwater commercial fisheries operating within its range (including those off South Africa, Taiwan, Indonesia and Australia) are extensive, and thus only small numbers of deepwater stingrays are landed. As a result, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has determined this species to be minimally threatened by human activity, and listed it under least concern. However, should deepwater fisheries expand in the future, it may be susceptible to depletion due to its probable rarity and low reproductive rate.[1]

Have dry skin? Well, I can help! Handmade soap moisturizes your skin unlike commercial soap can not. Cold process soap retains the natural glycerin within the soap itself. Commercial soap is made in large batches with heat and the glycerin is removed!
Besides relieving your dry skin, handmade soap is often times so much more beautiful and fun than commercial soap! Grab a cup of coffee and take a while to check out the soaps that I offer! I just wish you could smell them through the computer…

We've upset our newly laid turf by cutting it too soon, because it is fast turning brown all over. Do we leave it, or is there something we can do?
Brown lawns usually mean frazzled, dry lawns. You decreed "off with their heads" before the grasses had time to put their feet down, so the roots weren't established enough to draw up sufficient water. The turf may have got fusarium patch disease, whose symptoms are round patches that start off pale yellow-green (often with a white mould in the morning) and then turn brown, though that's more common in cool weather and is an indicator that the grass was stressed or poorly aerated.
Once it warms up, say at the end of March, give the turf a rake and remove any dead stuff. Buy a packet of lawn seed (cheaper than relaying the turf) and sow on top of the dead lawn, which will make a fine seed bed. Rake, sow, then lightly rake into place (work backwards so you don't stand on raked soil). Water, cover with fleece or fine netting (otherwise it's just bird feed) and wait. Water again if it is dry. Only once the seedlings are 7cm high should you have a go at mowing, but be gentle.

The Argument--Probability
Looking at all these inkblots,
Images randomly appear in my head
Where did the doctor go?
I need help to forget what you said.
I can't believe you decided
To end it all before asking how I felt.
And if you say, "It's you, not me,"
I swear my self esteem will melt.
I'll do whatever you say.
If I agree, can we at least try it my way?
What's wrong with me wanting a life with you?
I promise that I'll do my best to stay true.
I'm letting you know right now,
There's no way I'll go along with what you're telling me.
You're acting as if I can't understand.
It's too good to believe.
What makes you think I'll stay here
Just to listen to the insincerity in your voice?
It's not like I want to go,
But I really have no choice.
Let me walk out through that door.
Why can't things go back to the way they were before?
Don't even bother, just leave me be.
The chances for us is a low probability.
Please don't say you wish we'd never met.
Isn't it easier to just forgive and forget?
My heart is filled with your pollution.
I'm sad to say that there's no positive solution.
Where we'll end up no one can tell.
So for now, it's farewell.

Vibration Problems
I have a 98 Laredo which is now having issues with vibration on the transmission. It all started on Sunday when I had slammed on my brakes when I was trying to diagnose another problem with my brakes. Now after the brake slam I have vibration coming from, what feels like my transmission. The vibration is coming up from my shifter and slightly from just sitting in the car. I also got under the transmission and felt around and the area with the largest vibration is where the engine meets the transmission.
Before this I hadn't any problems with vibration, the only issues I had were with engine hesitation between 45 to 60 mph for shifting; and a slight knocking coming from lower parts of my engine.
So my question after all this is, Does anyone know what could be causing the vibration (or the engine knocking, but for now the vibration)?
Re: Vibration Problems
Now the engine is literally chugging, and is vibrating more.
Re: Vibration Problems
Is it throwing codes yet or what?
Re: Vibration Problems
Do the Key Dance! I'm not going to guess what it is, but for the engine to start chuggin, gas would have to be blocked or maybe some misfires.
Re: Vibration Problems
It's already throwing codes because the tard who had (I've only had it for 3 weeks) it before me cut off the back O2 sensor connector (the female end not the male from the O2 sensor itself). But it had never does this up till now when I slammed on the brakes.
I'm guessing it might be misfires, but I'm not sure if that could cause the vibration and knocking from the bottom of the engine.
Re: Vibration Problems
Get a diagnostic scan first to see what codes are being thrown, then you can see what exactly the area of the problem might be coming from.
Re: Vibration Problems
that o2 sensor by itself can cause it to run erratic
Re: Vibration Problems
find a girl... go for a drive. it may not solve your problem but hey at least you got a shot.
all kidding aside that 02 sensor itself could be your problem.

Theoretically maybe. In real life total bollocks - on my 10Mb connection downloads and general surfing slows down to a crawl between certain hours. I'm lucky to get 1.5Mb most days.

What else can I do with an architecture degree?
This guide should help you think about the skills you have, the jobs they can be applied to, and the options available.
The following is a list of key skills that architects develop while studying for their degrees. It also applies to architecture technologists, who are particularly concerned with the technical performance of buildings:
- time and self-management
- design skills
- concise and accurate writing/communication skills
- organisational skills
- identify and predict trends and patterns
- interpret and evaluate events, information, and ideas
- computer literacy
- up-to-date knowledge of the latest legal developments in their field.
Architecture graduates tend to be perfectionists, as it is crucial for original plans to be faultless in order for a project to succeed. This means that they would do very well in careers that require mathematical precision, such as finance, accounting and computer programming.
They are also used to having to think laterally. If something doesn't work on the build, they will have to think of ways of getting round the problem. This would make them ideal for roles in the armed forces, civil service, or education.
Other relevant jobs include:
- business and management
- finance
- fire prevention and safety
- law
- management consulting
- urban and rural planning.
Don't worry if these career paths don't immediately grab you, as there are plenty of other things to do after studying architecture. Take these famous people as examples:
- Weird Al Yankovic
- Ice Cube
- Leonardo Da Vinci
- Aishwarya Rai
- Seal

Best Web Filtering Software: Barracuda Web Filter
This is a discussion on the "Barracuda Web Filter" entry in the Best Web Filtering Software SpiceList
3 Replies
May 6, 2010 at 11:23 UTC
In your view, what are the benefits of hardware vs software-based web filtering solutions?
May 6, 2010 at 11:28 UTC
Hardware can be done inline, is impossible to get around, cheap, low resource usage, seamless.
Software, no hardware to maintain, distributed management (no single point of failure), highly customizable.
May 6, 2010 at 11:50 UTC
there are pros and cons to both,
IMHO it is best to employ both....... the hardware solution is first in line and provides front line filtering..... then behind that a software solution can play clean up and catch the thing missed by the other..... this provides a multi layered blanket of protection as well as a bit of redundancy. so is cuda a best in class web filter? I would say that it is above average..... as I can think of several other filters that are better.

TI - Use of Water Treatment Residuals to Reduce Soil Phosphorus Loss and Protect Surface Water Quality: an Interregional Study
JO - Proceedings of the Water Environment Federation
N2 - Drinking water treatment residuals (WTR) are traditionally disposed of in landfills, stored on-site, discharged to streams, or discharged into sanitary sewer systems. Beneficial use options are rapidly becoming more popular. Beneficial use of WTR as phosphorus (P) sorbents to protect
surface water quality could provide an economical disposal option for utilities and economic and environmental benefits for communities. The role of P in runoff water from agricultural land in the degradation of surface water has been well documented. Too often, manure or biosolids are land
applied based on crop nitrogen (N) requirements resulting in a two to threefold excess P application. Because WTR are rich in amorphous aluminum (Al) or iron (Fe) oxides that are reactive to P, they can be used as a best management practice (BMP) to protect surface water quality by removing
dissolved P from agricultural runoff water and decreasing P solubility in manure / biosolids and soil.The objectives of this research project (funded by AWWA Research Foundation as a Tailored Collaboration project) are to (i) evaluate the ability of different WTR types to reduce P loss
from agricultural land, (ii) develop tailored recommendations for all participating utilities for use of their WTR, and (iii) calibrate land application of WTR as a BMP.After chemical characterization of all WTR, three land application methods will be investigated. Incorporation of WTR
into soil will reduce soil test P by reducing P solubility, decreasing risk of P loss by leaching or runoff from agricultural land. Surface application of WTR will remove dissolved P from agricultural runoff water. Co-application of WTR with manure or biosolids will reduce P solubility in
the waste material prior to land application.Participating utilities include Pennsylvania-American Water Company, Tulsa Metropolitan Utility Authority, and Denver Water. Results of this project will provide tailored recommendations to the participating utilities, as well as general guidelines
for beneficial use of WTR for all utilities. Specifically, the results of this work will provide information for utilities and regulators of the expected performance of different WTR to serve as a P BMP based on chemical characteristics of the WTR.

Season ticket holders and Blue Pride waiting list members had the first chance to score Seattle Seahawks playoff tickets Monday morning, and a limited number of tickets are going on sale to the public Tuesday.
The Seattle Seahawks stomped the Arizona Cardinals, putting themselves in the drivers seat to win the NFC West and become the No. 1 seed in the NFC heading into the postseason. The incredible performance by the Seahawks saw a minor distraction when kicker Steven Hauschka missed 3 field goals during last nights game.
The near perfect kicker had a bad night to say the least, and it lead fans and critics to enjoy a feeding frenzy on social media. One Facebook friend of mine wrote "Is our kicker on the take?" another friend posted "Something is definitely up with Hauschka."
I think he just had a bad night, and it's not like these attempts were from 30 yards out. Seahawks punter Jon Ryan came to the aid of his fellow teammate by saying
Several local teams will see state playoff action this weekend. Here's where and when they will play.

Ever since I killed my hair by dying it and straightening it way too many times, I've had trouble trying to find a shampoo that leaves my hair soft and silky. I used to use Garnier all the time, I was in love with it. But that worked better on my natural hair than on my color-treated hair. I switched to Tresemme Anti-breakage shampoo and Moisture Rich conditioner. The combination works very well for my hair, which is really fine and tangles very easily. The shampoo cleans very well, but sometimes it leaves my hair way too tangled. However, using the conditioner helps a whole lot. This shampoo/conditioner is also great for you if you straighten/flat iron/curl your hair often. The moisture rich conditioner really restores moisture that the heat from the straightener/iron sucks out. It leaves my hair really soft and silky, which is exactly what I want.

As a Beauty Diva I Just want everyone to know that TRESemme is not as great as everyone seems to think. They use wax to soften the hair which causes wax build-up in your hair which is gross......(same with Pantene or any of the products that claim they are "Professional products") if u used TRESemme on a everyday basis and then went to a salon to get your hair washed with clarifying products they could literally scrape the wax out! Also I would love to add that if you go and buy any type of Professional product from a place that is not a salon etc. then there is chance that it has been tampered with.....most of these items they got because they either went bad or they are expired!some actually had bought a Paul Mitchell product from a pharmacy type store and had it tested, there was urine in the mix! Plus they charge u so much for the product there the truth is u can buy professional products from the salon so cheap especially when there is a good sale!

Comments about TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo:
I have fine, naturally curly hair that gets frizzy very easily. I have to use a shampoo that gives me extra moisture because it also tends to be very dry. I have been using this shampoo for years. Occasionally I switch to a different brand because I find something with a scent I like or that promises to work well on curly hair; plus, sometimes switching shampoos for a bit seems to make my hair more manageable. That being said, I always come back to this shampoo. I never feel like my hair is coated in anything or ends up with a buildup. My hair is always soft and manageable. I feel like this product just works really well for my hair type. I like the smell and the value. It's not too expensive. I like the large bottles with the pump too. It's much easier to get the shampoo out of the bottle and the squirt mechanism doesn't pump out too much, so I don't accidentally get a ton at one time.
I highly recommend this shampoo!
Comments about TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo:
I used this for awhile along with the Tresemme moisture rich conditioner for my hair when I bleached it. I had colored my hair black for two years and I wanted to go red so I had to bleach my long hair twice in order to go red. Doing that damaged my hair so badly. The ends were dry and brittle and I was freaking out because I didn't want to cut my hair. I went out and bought the Tresemme moisture rich shampoo and condtioner because they didn't make the keratin shampoo and conditioner yet. I washed my hair with the moisture rich shampoo and I could feel the difference in my hair. Sometimes shampoo can make hair dryer but this shampoo was really helping. It wasn't drying out my hair so I felt like I was doing something good for my hair after what I put it through.
It worked in adding moisture in my hair instead of making it dry like other shampoos sometimes do. Other shampoos wash out the natural oils but the Tresemme moisture rich shampoo cleaned my hair and added moisture to my dry, damaged hair.
Comments about TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo:
Tresemme shampoo is awesome. It is a higher end brand in my opinion, and should be respected as one. It has superior cleaning effects versus other shampoos, making it well worth the extra splurge in your budget. Even though it is a little more, it is not salon priced even though it brings salon results. There are so many different kinds to specify towards your hair styling needs that make it perfect for each individual. You do not have to use a lot of this shampoo formula to get the great results. Lathers exceptionally well and does not need a repeat like some other shampoos. I also use this on my son as it helps his hair type and does not smell too "Girly" or "fruity" or "flowery". I definitely recommend to all hair types and genders. It also lasts a long time for the amount. A comparable sized generic brand would only last half as long as Tresemme.
no repeat needed.
Good scent, but not only "girly" or "manly".
Comments about TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo:
I need a lot of moisture for my hair because its blonde and dry. My hair always needs that extra moisture because my ends are especially dry. I get dandruff from time to time and I noticed it cleared up with this shampoo. It was very lathering to my hair and it got really soapy to my scalp. It was like a deep cleaning to my scalp that was gentle and it removed all the buildup I had. It helped provide weightless natural conditioning on my hair. It left my hair with a healthy radiant shine. It was color safe to my hair and didn't strip out my color. The scent smelled really nice, it had a natural clean scent to it that I loved because the scent lasted all day. The texture of this shampoo was very thick and rich. My hair was soft after I used this shampoo and it was easier for me to style my hair. I didn't have anymore tangles. It tamed my frizz without weighing it down. My hair looked a lot healthier and I still had the volume I wanted and needed. I would recommend this to anybody who has really thick coarse hair that needs that extra pick me up on there hair.
Comments about TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo:
I've tried all sorts of shampoos, salon quality, and drug store brands. None of them have made my hair feel so clean and healthy as this one. The name moisture rich really describes this product perfectly. My hair looked and felt nicer without being weighed down. It kept my hair moisturized and not looking oily. I feel like I have to wash my hair a lot less with this product too because it didn't strip my hair. There's even biotin in the shampoo and conditioner,. I used to take biotin for my hair, and it helped my hair grow out faster. I've noticed my hair growing out a lot better with this.
This cleaned my hair without weighing it down. The shampoo works really well with the conditioner. I would recommend using both of them together for the best results
Tresemme has the best smelling shampoos and conditioners on the market. It kept my hair smelling fresh for days. The scent is indescribable, but in a good way! Smell it for yourself and you'll be hooked!
Comments about TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo:
This product is very affordable and works as well as most salon brands--just as the commercials say. My sister has been a hair dresser for years and recommends this product to all of her customers. It makes my hair smooth, healthy, and CLEAN. The bottles are huge and last a long time!
Comments about TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo:
Tresemme Shampoo used to be the only shampoo I'd use for years. But lately, I've noticed that its starting to dry my hair out. Using more conditioner does not help either. I love the way it smells, but if long term usage causes brittle, dry hair, then I can no longer use it! Why would I buy something that is supposed to keep my hair beautiful but doesn't in the long run? I still currently use it just because I can't see wasting money by throwing it away, however I will be switching to a new type of shampoo and conditioner once these bottles are gone.
Comments about TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo:
TRESemme Shampoo leaves your hair feeling clean, light, and fresh. It is the best shampoo I've found so far and I definitely recommend this product to everyone. This is a great value at an affordable price. Surprisingly this shampoo works wonders on long thick hair and doesn't leave hair dry or stripped. These qualities help a lot with curly hair, as well as colour treated hair. I've used TRESemme shampoo for quite a while, one bottle lasts me a long time and I have thick hair down to my waist. A completely worthwhile buy and an amazing product. TRESemme shampoo proves that you don't need to spend a fortune to get a salon quality product without breaking the bank.
It gives a complete clean without any buildup or residue. TRESemme shampoo leaves hair soft, shiny, and light.
The smell of TRESemme shampoo is always lovely and leaves your hair smelling light and clean. No matter
Comments about TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo:
TRESemme Shampoo is awesome. makes my hair feel like silk after using it. Price is affordable with salon results and it smells good and leaves your hair smelling great too. Usually on sale at the local Pharmacy for a reasonable price. Love the large bottles that last a long time because you don't have to use a lot to get a head full of lather. I have been using it for a long time. Recommended to me by my hair stylist.
Comments about TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo:
Tresemme is just so-so to me. It seems to leave my hair dry in the wintertime. It didn't help with static much. It isn't the worst product on the market and certainly isn't the best either. I would choose other inexpensive brands over this one that work better moisture wise. My hair feels hydrated and silky in the shower, but after it drys, my hair feels dry and static filled again. I can always tell when a product is good for moisture because the moisture lasts all day. The product comes in a large size and the price is good too. Tresseme is good for those who don't have to worry about frizz and dry hair very much. This product is not the best for moisture.
Tresemme is not a good product to use everyday for dry hair. It seems like the moisture doesn't last long. My hair feels depleted in moisture by the end of the day, unlike other cheaper and more effective products on the market.
It notable for it's smell, but doesn't smell bad either.

Illegal alien lawlessness on parade
There are 16 comments on the timesfreepress.com story from Nov 22, 2011, titled Illegal alien lawlessness on parade. In it, timesfreepress.com reports that:
Considering the administration's policy of coddling illegal aliens rather than enforcing the law, it is no wonder illegal aliens now openly join protests and chant slogans such as "Undocumented, unafraid" and "No papers, no fear." The president has sent a message that they need not fear deportation even though they are in this country unlawfully.
When lawlessness is exalted -- or ignored -- our nation is bound to get more lawlessness.

The Republican controlled House Representatives also cut $600 million from immigration enforcement & border security. Did you think that Obama can faithfully execute the law when Republicans cut funding to immigration enforcement?
Seriously, wake up and smell reality.
Republicans Move To Cut Border Security Funds
PHOENIX -- In spite of their tough rhetoric, Republican lawmakers in Washington want to cut big bucks from border security and immigration enforcement.
This week, GOP leaders proposed to slash $600 million in funding.
On Thursday, several Arizona sheriffs gathered at the Capitol to shed a light on how the cuts will hurt efforts to crack down on drug cartels and human smugglers.
"The funds they're talking about would go toward the dang fence. I believe we need the dang fence, so why are we cutting the money for it," said Navajo County Sheriff K.C. Clark.
Cuts to the Border Patrol alone would total nearly 41 million dollars.

Highly unlikely.
You'll all continue to remain in the same state you came here in and that's "illegal". The elitist in the USA love illegals and it will stay like that until Americans begin plinking off the elitist in the USA that control our elected officials.
However by the look of the anti-illegal foot troops around here, they seem to think that drooling to blueservo.net is the best thing since sliced bread.
Face it my border brother, you have some stupid Americans around here that don't know their heads from their azzes. You'll be around for a long time to come.

Obama's budget proposal cuts border fence funds
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's budget blueprint Thursday canceled
plans to extend the border fence along the U.S.-Mexico border beyond the 670
miles already completed or planned, symbolically breaking with a
much-heralded approach to border security advocated by President George W.
The Obama administration's turnabout left limited funds for roads, lights
and so-called tactical infrastructure - but not a dime to extend the
pedestrian fencing and vehicle barriers erected along roughly one-third of
the nation's 1,947 mile border with Mexico.
As a Democratic senator representing Illinois, Obama joined 79 other
senators in 2006 to support construction of the barrier system.
The top financial officer at the Department of Homeland Security, Peggy
Sherry, and her team told reporters in a telephone conference call that the
Obama administration would not extend the barrier network that has irked
Mexico and stirred concerns among immigrant-advocate organizations.
Napolitano Doesn't Intend to Secure a Single Additional Mile of U.S.
Border-This Year or Next
Tuesday, February 15, 2011
( CNSNews.com )- Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano released a
budget document on Monday that indicates that the Department of Homeland
Security does not intend to put a single additional mile of the U.S. border
under "effective control" in either fiscal year 2011 or 2012.
According to Napolitano's budget plan, the Border Patrol had 1,007 miles of
the U.S. border under "effective control" at the end of fiscal year 2010,
and DHS aims to stick with exactly that number through this year and next.
The 3311-page document released by Napolitano--"Congressiona l Budget
Justification: FY 2012"--also says DHS does not intend to add a single
additional Border Patrolmen in fiscal year 2012, after adding 859 this year.
Nor, the document says, does DHS intend to deploy a single additional Border
Patrol agent to either the U.S.-Mexico or U.S.-Canada border in fiscal year
2012, capping Border Patrol deployments at the two borders at this year's
DHS declares it has established "effective control" of a mile of the U.S.
border "when the appropriate mix of personnel, equipment, technology and
tactical infrastructure has been deployed to reasonably ensure that when an
attempted illegal entry is detected, the Border Patrol has the ability to
identify, classify and respond to bring the attempted illegal entry to a
satisfactory law enforcement resolution."
Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a subdivision of DHS, is responsible
for securing 8,607 miles of U.S. border, including the 1,994-mile-long
U.S.-Mexico border, the approximately 4,000-mile-long U.S.-Canada border,
and sections of coastline in the Gulf of Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
According to DHS budget justification released Monday, CBP currently has
only 1,007 of the 8,607 miles of border it is responsible for under
"effective control."

I get lots of funny looks when I tell people that I have not one ouce of faith in any, city, county, state, or federal government agencies. They are all crooks and bow down to which ever lobbiest pays them the most. Our elected officials have failed their offices, and the American people miserably. They don't take any pride in the oath they took when getting into office. They all took an oath to Uphold, and defend the Constitution of the United States. I don't think many of them even know what it says.

Isn't it fun? Reminiscent of those antique airplanes. Kids can decorate it however they want too.
You will need:
Mini craft sticks (about half the size of the large ones)
Glue (we used Elmer's glue, and although it works fine, a stronger glue would be better if you have impatient kids. A glue gun would work too, depending on your situation).
Each airplane needs:
2 large craft sticks
2 mini craft sticks
1 small wooden bead
1 clothes pin
PURCHASE A SINGLE AIRPLANE KIT! Now you can purchase single airplane craft kits in my new ETSY SHOP for only $2.00. This makes it easy for anyone that would like just make 1 airplane craft and not have to search or buy all the other supplies.
1. Color the craft sticks and clothes pin with your markers.
2. Place a dot of glue in the middle of the 2 large craft sticks. Place the sticks on the top and the bottom of the clothes pin as shown above for wings.
3. After the wings are dry, glue a mini craft stick on the back for the tail. Then glue a wooden bead onto the middle of another mini craft stick for the propeller and let it dry.
4. Stand the plane up and glue the propeller on the top opening of the clothes pin. You may have to hold it in place for a bit until it dries. This is where the fast-drying glue would be awesome.
CRAFT KITS for CHARITY:
So my Little Son wanted to do a Boy Scout service project for the local children's hospital, Primary Children's Hospital in SLC, Utah. We found out that our children's hospital needs a variety of craft kits for the kids staying in the hospital for treatments. If you want to do this kind of service activity with your kids, you provide everything they kids would need to make a single craft and put it in a Ziploc bag, including instructions. You do not have to provide glitter, glue, or scissors. Those craft essentials are already at the hospital.
This is an AWESOME service project that kids can help with, especially at Christmas time. They can help you collect or purchase supplies. They can help assemble the kits and deliver it to the hospital. It's also something they can understand that a child would want. We talked a lot about how the children in the hospital would get bored and need something fun to make.
Many times these hospitals also need craft supplies donated. Little Son and his friends gathered a few donations in the neighborhood of colored duct tape, bubbles, glue, playdough, and other craft activity supplies they run out of quickly. Check with your local hospital to see if this is something they need.
Yay for CHRISTMAS! I encourage you (and me) to find a way to give back, help someone in need. Get your children involved and have a Merry Christmas!
What other service projects have you done with your kidlets?

The Luxury Visionaries 2016
It's not often the path to a new career begins with an arrest, but Shaban Andrea's first encounter with the safari company Singita came 11 years ago when he was apprehended by one of the scouts employed to patrol the 350,000-acre Grumeti conservation area on the western edge of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.
A feared hunter and poacher, Andrea had already served two prison sentences. But staff at Singita, which offers what many regard as the ne plus ultra of game-watching experiences, were confident that he poached because it was the only way he knew to make a living. Their intervention allowed him to be paroled on condition he join Grumeti's anti-poaching team. And so the poacher turned gamekeeper, earning an honest wage for the first time in his life, building himself a house and seeing his own sons educated and go on to university.
"We knew we had to protect the land because poaching was absolutely rampant there," says Singita's owner and CEO Luke Bailes. "But the poachers quickly learned that if they started protecting the animals rather than killing them, then tourism would flourish and they could have jobs for the long term. The success has been remarkable."
He now employs 120 scouts, most of them former poachers – "They now form the nucleus of our anti-poaching units" – at Singita Grumeti, which accounts for just over a third of the million or so acres of land that comprises Singita's private concessions.
Spread across four countries – Tanzania, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique – each of the brand's 12 lodges and camps is unique, not to mention strikingly and beautifully designed. And not all feature tents. At Lebombo on the edge of the Kruger in South Africa, for example, the 15 "eagle's nest" suites are steel-and-wood structures cantilevered out from the cliff overlooking a river where hippo gather to frolic.
The food and drink aspire to exemplary standards too. Indeed they take their wine so seriously that Bailes has set up what he calls Singita Premium Wine Direct, so that guests can order the rare South African wines he sources for his 80,000-bottles central cellar at Stellenbosch after they've returned home.
And of course the service is practically telepathic. The young daughter of some guests was once overheard fretting that she'd forgotten her bathing suit. Within 24 hours, a selection of child-sized swimwear had been delivered, unbidden, to their room.
But what's a safari lodge without abundant animals nearby? Singita's anti-poaching initiative has been so successful that a decade on Grumeti has a greater concentration of game than anywhere else in the entire Serengeti," enthuses Bailes. Thanks to the annual census of wildlife they conduct each year, they know, for instance that the buffalo population has grown tenfold from 600 to 6,000.
Just buffalo? "You start by getting animals that range, buffalo, wildebeest … Then you get what we call resident animals [elephant, rhino, giraffe and so on], and as those populations build up, you get the predators: cheetah, lion, because there's such a huge food source. We're finding new prides almost every week. It's just incredible!"
For, he continues, "First and foremost we are a conservation business. With the population explosion in Africa, pristine wilderness is disappearing by the day. Singita's core purpose is to conserve large tracts of land for future generations."

I am the daughters of Israel, who were hired as cooks and bakers in the palace of the king.
I am the young widow Ruth, harvesting crops to support myself and my mother-in-law.
I am Huldah the Prophetess. Though my husband had a good job as a taylor, I also worked outside our home as a college professor, which provided us, among other things, room and board at the college. My devoutness earned me the respect of priests, who consulted with me about God's will.
I am Lydia, a businesswoman with an eye for a "good thing." I recognized at once the truth of the gospel message an Asian missionary brought across the Aegean Sea to Philippi. I became the first convert in Europe, supported the ministry, and founded the first church in my home.
I am all these women. I am a career mom.
These women found me, respectively in Exodus 35:25-26, I Samuel 8:13, Ruth 2:7, II Kings 22:14, and Acts 16:14. I wasn't looking for them. I was just going to church, dealing with my reality as a single mom, and feeling the burn of the then stereotypical lack of acceptance the church had for working women. Notice even the term "working woman" has its own negative connotations. 8/ I felt like I was damned if I didn't work, and damned if I did, so to speak. I was doing "the right thing" and being told I was wrong by well meaning people. But, I continued to read my Bible, and understood that God does not see things as we do. Fortunately, today many people are laying aside those stereotypes, and most men admit their biggest fear about their wives working is that their wives will quit. :) The economy has a way of cleaning or clogging our ethics it seems.
But, I felt so bad about not being the image projected of the "Pentecostal Woman," a picture I looked nothing like, that one Mother's Day morning I found myself dreading going to church. I just knew the Pastor would preach about that Proverbs 31 Woman again. I couldn't stand her...she was so darn perfect. I would have liked to get my hands around her neck. But, this Pastor was a true man of God. He had his ears to Heaven's throne. And, of course, God knew my heart. I drug myself to church, to hear what a lousy woman I was again, to find a very different message about the P31 Woman. I was astounded as he went through the chapter, showing how she worked outside the home, bought and sold property with her own money, AND was a pride to her family. I was shocked to see she was a woman like me...not like that old lady on the magazine sitting in her garden, wiling away her days in the house while her husband worked.
Proverbs 31:10-31 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. She has a monetary value put on her worth. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. He doesn't have to take a second job, but is relieved to come home to a woman who will be a true helpmate. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She is a Home Builder. She builds up instead of tearing down her family. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She makes investments in textiles, and makes a profit on handspun goods. She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She goes shopping and orders online to get a good deal :) She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She gets up before dayliht and puts a roast in the crockpot so dinner will be ready when she gets home from work. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She bought and sold property with her own money...smart enough to know real estate value. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. Maybe she pumped weights and kept herself in shape at the gym because she knew that was important :) She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She stayed up late because she knew a lot of people were counting on her. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She had her own paycheck and wasn't stingy, but gave to the poor. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She knew where to buy the best clothes and materials. Second rate wasn't good enough for her family. She dressed them with care because she was a provider, and cost was no object when it came to her loved ones. I love this part! Go shopping ladies, it's in the Bible! She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. She dresses nicely and is not afraid to look good for her man. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. The men who work with her husband respect him for having this woman and her husband is proud that this smart, beautiful lady is his wife. How lucky he is to have her. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. She has her goods in stores all over town. Her merchandise is a household name. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. People listen when she speaks, and she speaks kindly to all. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. The most important quality she possesses is that she fears God. All the other things named can be taken away, but her faith in God will keep her through all circumstances. Then, even if her career, her husband, her children, her money is taken, she knows she will still be praiseworthy. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. Give her her paycheck and let her enjoy the fruit of her labor all her life, because she works for it.
This Mother's Day, I hope all of you know what you are worth as Mothers. Happy Mother's Day woman! And, if your children get tired of being told what to do, remind them that Jesus did too, but in the end, even God did what His Mom told Him to do. :)
John 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

The story of Cleo Cotton begins in Southwest Kansas on a beautiful spring day in April. He was just a cotton seed.
Cleo knew his big adventure was about to begin when the big tractor and planter came rumbling down the road.
Cotton Seed
After being planted in the ground, and receiving warmth from the soil and moisture from the rain, Cleo grew into a cotton plant.
The sunshine helped him grow and grow into a big cotton boll.
Cotton Field
With the sun shining down, all the moisture left his cotton head. Cleo was all dried out and wondered what would happen next.
He soon got his answer, a big cotton picker cut his stem and pulled him into the big machine. Cleo was harvested.
Cotton Harvest
Cleo Cotton looked very different.
He didn't looked like a plant anymore, he looked like a light poof of cotton. He was now raw cotton.
Raw Cotton
Cleo Cotton enjoyed the bumpy ride across the field to a large truck.
Kailey, a young girl visiting the cotton farm was asking the truck driver where the cotton was going, "I'm taking the cotton to a cotton gin."
Kailey said, "Oh! Can I come too?" She loved going on ag adventures.
Transporting Cotton
After arriving at the cotton gin, Cleo and Kailey stared at the huge box, Kailey asked the operator, "What is that?"
The man looked down and said, "This is a cotton gin. It is going to clean all the seeds and leaves out of your friend Cleo."
Cotton Ginning
As Cleo entered the cotton gin, he told his new friend Kailey goodbye, at least for now.
Cleo Cotton loved the cotton gin. He was shaken, twisted, turned and tickled. He felt his seeds falling out and he felt extra soft and fluffy. He was now clean ginned cotton.
Ginned Cotton
After Cleo Cotton's ride through the cotton gin, he was squeezed tightly into a cotton bale.
Cleo's adventure was about to get very interesting, he was loaded onto a truck and taken to a textile mill.
Cotton Bales
At the textile mill, Cleo Cotton was unloaded and stretched as long as his fibers would stretch.
Then the machine twisted and twisted him into spun yarn.
Spun Cotton Yarn
Cleo Cotton enjoyed being spun yarn. He could bend and wiggle in every direction!
Suddenly he felt a tug, he was being rolled onto a spool.
Cleo noticed that some of the other spun cotton around him had been dyed bright beautiful colors.
Dyed Yarn on Bobbins
Marathon Threads Canada
Cleo Cotton's next stop was a big machine called a weaving loom. He unrolled as he traveled through with other yarn. Now woven together, they made beautiful fabric.
100% Cotton Fabric
Weaving Loom
Cotton Fabric
Little Cleo Cotton was now fabric and laid out on a table. He was measured, pulled, snipped, cut, and stitched.
Anxious to know what he looked like, he tried and tried to see but couldn't. Can you help Cleo find out what he had been turned into?
Cotton Clothing
Clothing Inspection
Cleo Cotton was now a 100% made in the U.S.A. cotton shirt. He was loaded on a freight truck and shipped to a retail clothing store to be sold.
Retail Clothing
Kailey and her grandmother were shopping when she saw a beautiful shirt. It was her friend Cleo Cotton! Kailey was very happy when her grandmother purchased the shirt for her to take home.
Cleo Cotton had finished his big adventure!

Virginia Sorbino, 52, of Wilmington, was hit by a vehicle near the intersection of South 10th and Dawson streets at about 12:50 p.m. Friday, according to Wilmington Police Department Spokeswoman Cathryn Lindsay.
Sorbino was standing near a 10th Street bus stop just before the intersection when she was hit, Lindsay said. When officers arrived on scene, they found the suspect vehicle – a Lincoln SUV – had crashed into the side of a house located in the 800 block of South 10th Street, on the opposite side of the intersection from where the victim was hit.
The initial investigation revealed the SUV was traveling north on 10th Street, veered to the left and struck the pedestrian. The SUV the cut across three lanes of Dawson Street at the intersection, and then barreled into the side of the home. The home was unoccupied, but three house pets were rescued from inside the home.
Sorbino died at the scene, Lindsay said. The driver of the Lincoln – 54-year-old Christopher Eugene Bowden, of Wilmington – was taken into custody and charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle and cited for driving left of center.
The intersection was blocked for about three hours Friday afternoon, as investigators and emergency responders worked to clear the scene. The incident is still under investigation. Police are working to get surveillance video to determine more details about the wreck, Lindsay said.
Bowden was released Friday from the New Hanover County Jail on a $1,000 bail.

Most of us as kids spent time in front of the mirror lip syncing to our favorite artists. I definitely could have had a career as a pint-sized Madonna impersonator. But it takes a special sort to do it as an adult, and a self-confident one to put the videos on the internet for the world to see. Bonus points if you're an NBA player.

Brazilian Belle du Jour
December 13th, 2005 | Published in Google Blogger Buzz
Like Blogger-powered Diary of a London Call Girl, a few months ago a Brazilian blogger (nsfw) landed a book deal, and apparently it's selling quite well:
"In just over a month, it has sold some 30,000 copies and is already in its third edition -- a huge success in a country where only a fraction of the population reads books. It also ranks third on Brazil's bestseller list for nonfiction books, neck and neck with international hits like "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner."[Via Y! Odd News]
