The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is some fresh talc, a last-minute cinch of the belt and the satisfying knee lock of an the afternoon poker news deadlift.
Got a tip you want profiled in a future 3-Bet? Drop a note in the comments and we'll be glad to take a look.
Today in the 3-Bet we find dig a little deeper into the new November Nine to find Dan Sindelar's World Champion pedigree, Bruno Politano's national identity and a second chance for Mark Newhouse to change his life forever.
1) Dan Sindelar: Quiet Crusher
The more we find out about the 2014 November Nine the more we think this might be the most intriguing group of poker players we've seen yet.
Past the pure awesomeness of Foosball World Champ (and poker amateur) Billy Pappas being involved there's also the curious case of Daniel Sindelar.
A virtual unknown to the tournament world prior to the Main Event it turns out Sindelar has quite the impressive poker background.
A native Nebraskan-turned-Las-Vegas-poker pro Sindelar actually has a very storied history both live and online under the nicknames dsindy/sindy2.
One of the first big $10/$20 NL grinders he eventually moved up to $100/$200 and crushed big names like Mike Matusow and Daniel Negreanu.
As an added nod to his genetic lineage, Sindelar wouldn't even be the first World Champion in his family. His Dad Bill is a Masters World Champion in powerlifting. So take that. More from Dan in a sitdown with PokerListings in Las Vegas yesterday:
2) Bruno Politano: "It's a Country's Dream Come True"
Another member of the November Nine it's hard not to love? Brazilian Bruno Politano.
The first Brazilian to ever make the November Nine Politano says it's more than just a great moment for himself - it's a great moment for the whole country.
"Brazil is a community of brothers," he told us yesterday in Las Vegas. "Everybody supports everybody. Brazilian guys rail for the other, pray for the other. If you are good, everybody's good. It's a powerful moment for Brazilians."
If you caught a glimpse of Politano's rail yesterday - or any rail when a Brazilian player is involved - you know exactly what he's talking about.
He'll be the short stack coming in but he'll bring a lot more to the table (and crowd) than just 12m in clay chips. More from our sitdown yesterday below:
3) Mark Newhouse: "I Got a Shot at Some Real Freedom"
Who would have thought Mark Newhouse would get TWO shots at the World Series of Poker November Nine?
Not us. Not anyone. Not even Newhouse himself. Not because he's not a great player; simply because the math on it actually happening in 6,500+-player fields is astronomical.
But he's here. He's calm. He's better positioned than last time. And, importantly, he knows how lucky he is to get another shot at financial freedom.
Isn't that what we all play poker for, after all? More from Newhouse on his accomplishment below:

The RecipePrint this recipe
When we planned out the recipe for this month we felt the challenge of a soufflé would be be refreshing, but it's safe to say that we underestimated the intricacies of truly understanding and mastering a french soufflé. Needless to say, 6 different recipes, 20 plus ramekins of soufflé to test and too many burnt tongues later we present to you the 'In Our Kitchen' Chocolate Soufflé.
We started out with a typical French soufflé, but we felt the addition of egg yolk (though scientifically helpful), over powered the soufflé and turned it into a sweet omelette. We used a few recipes as measuring sticks but we found there was too much chocolate in most, so we decided to tweak our base recipe. Overall we decided we wanted a rich, moist, well balanced soufflé that was more like a mousse than an omelette. Those qualities, along with the addition of dulce de leche (courtesy of Alton Brown), make this the easiest, and most rewarding chocolate soufflé.
Of all the dishes you can make in the oven, these have to be the easiest to marvel at. Once they are set in the oven, grab a drink and park yourself in front of the oven and watch the magic happen.
The inclusion of xantham gum is needed if you'd like a stiffer structure in the soufflé, allowing it to rise evenly and keep it's shape once it's out of the oven. Traditionally this is accomplished with egg yolks, but as we mentioned, it felt too egg-y when we incorporated egg yolks.
Feel free to add a splash of acid when whipping your egg whites, it will help denature the egg white, creating a stiff and rich creamy texture.
Dulce de leche is the perfect compliment to this soufflé, but feel free to use your imagination: raspberry coulis, vanilla pudding, butterscotch, the list is endless.
Make sure the bowl in which you beat the egg whites is completely free of any oils. Use a metal or glass bowl as plastic releases oils.
The Formula
Chocolate Soufflé
- ½ cup whipping cream
- 3 oz. dark chocolate
- 3 egg whites
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp. butter
- ½ cup super fine sugar
- 2 tsp. butter (for ramekin dusting)
Dulce de Lèche
- 2 cups whole milk
- ¾ cup organic cane sugar
- ½ vanilla bean
- ¼ tsp baking soda
Chocolate Soufflé
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Prepare ramekin dishes by rubbing with butter.
- Melt dark chocolate with whipping cream and butter in a double boiler until completely mixed. Add cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly. Set aside melted chocolate mixture and allow to cool completely.
- Whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Once soft peaks have been formed, add sugar in 2 tbsp. increments. When the egg whites form soft peaks, they are done. Be sure to not over mix the egg whites, as this will impede the souffle's ability to rise.
- When chocolate base mixture has cooled completely, fold in egg whites - quickly. Fold from the bottom of the mixture, coming over top it and repeating until just incorporated. You don't want any noticeable streaks or white or brown.
- Pour batter into ramekin dishes. Run thumb around the inner edge of the ramekin dish. This will help with the souffle raising.
- Moisten finger and flatten the top of the batter in the ramekin.
- Bake for 15 to 20 min. on the middle oven rack. Bake until souffle has risen about 1- 1 ½ inches above rim of ramekin.
- Serve immediately with a couple tablespoons of the Dulce de Lèche over the soufflé.
Dulce de Lèche
- Combine the milk, sugar, vanilla bean and seeds in a large, 4-quart saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, add the baking soda and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered at a bare simmer. Stir occasionally, but do not re-incorporate the foam that appears on the top of the mixture.
- Continue to cook for 1 hour. Remove the vanilla bean after 1 hour and continue to cook until the mixture is a dark caramel color and has reduced to about 3/4 cup, approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer. Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to a month.
What to do now?
Share this fine food with the world!

This State Park is in an excellent location and just a short drive from Interstate 12 in Madisonville, Louisiana. The State Park is just across the river from Old Town Madisonville. There are several nice restaurants, a museum and a snowball stand. I put the snowball stand in this description because people from up north and other areas never herd of snowball stands. If you have never had one then you owe it to yourself to get one. You have about 50 flavors to choose from and prices start as low as $1. I always get the jumbo size which is about $2.50 depending on what you want on it. Click Here for more information on Snowballs.
Directions: From I-12, take LA 21 (Exit 58) south to Madisonville, then travel east on LA 22. The park is two miles east of town. GPS Coordinates: N 30 24.5278, W 90 8.4277.
Hours of Operation: Gates are open
7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday through Thursday; entrance station is open
8 a.m. to 7 p.m. All park sites close at 10 p.m. on Friday, Saturday
and days preceding holidays.

These are awesome if you have any young builders in your life. My guys used to love stuff like this and would spend tons of time creating and then destroying!
I think I saw one at Costco cheaper?????
Darn, I bought it the other day from kids woot for $40.

What Children's Stories Teach Us About Life
October 16, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Some of the titles in Story Mama *** The Bible says that if we are to understand spiritual things, we are to be as children. I would like to adapt this concept for mamas: If we are to understand life, we must understand children's books. Let me illustrate (not literally, of course): When you go to Barnes and Noble to buy a self-help book, you might pick a bestseller off the shelf that has the following chapter titles: 1. How to feel accepted just the way you are 2. How to take good care … [Read more...]

[COLLEGE MEN: Weekend] Unranked California followed up on its 2-0 win over then-No. 3 Georgetown with a 3-2 win over then-No. 1 Maryland on Alec Sundly's golden goal. Twice the Golden Bears went ahead and twice the Terrapins came back to tie the score before Cal won.
Steve Birnbaum put Cal ahead in the 14th minute with a header off a Seth Casiple corner kick, but Maryland equalized 72 seconds after the start of
the second half when Schillo Tshuma scored on a feed from Patrick Mullins.
Cal went ahead again in
the 51st minute on a goal by Stefano Bonomo, but Jake Pace sent the match to overtime with a goal in the 79th minute.
"It was a great game by two evenly matched teams," Cal head coach Kevin Grimes said. "Both teams left everything on the field.
Even though we gave up two leads, I think we were absolutely resilient in coming back in overtime and finding a way to make it happen."
The Terrapins, who tied Stanford, 3-3, thanks
to Pace's late goal in regulation on Friday, gave up six goals on their two stops in the Bay Area.
On Sunday, Maryland started five freshmen: U.S. U-20 Zack Steffen in goal and Alex Crognale, Michael Sauers, Sui
Dainkeh and Chris Odoi-Atsem on the backline.
Freshman Watch ...
-- Thales Moreno scored in the 102nd minute to give Clemson a 2-1 overtime win Monday night over South Carolina before 5,585 fans at Riggs Field.
IRISH REPEAT. Senior Leon Brown scored twice in less than 20 minutes to start the game and match his career total,
leading Notre Dame to a 2-1 win over SMU that was good enough to capture the adidas/IU Credit Union Classic for the second straight year. A record crowd of 7,720 at Armstrong Stadium watched Victor Chavez score 49 seconds into the first overtime and give UCLA a 1-0 win over Indiana, the defending national champion.
The Irish and Bruins both
finished 1-0-1, but Notre Dame won on the tiebreaker of goals scored.
"We played very well in the first half and could have been up by more," Notre Dame head coach
Bobby Clark said. "Leon scored two very good goals, but we also missed some chances. His first goal was set up by a nice run from Alex Priede. Patrick Hodan sent him a nice cross that he one-touched for the second goal."
UCLA prevailed
despite playing a man up for the last 15 minutes of play. IU had had a 9-3 shot advantage in the second half and was awarded a penalty kick in the 76th minute when Joe
Sofia took out Tommy Thompson in the box, resulting in a red card for Sofia. Dylan Mares took the PK attempt for
the Hoosiers but his shot was saved by former U.S. U-17 keeper Earl Edwards as he dove to his right.
FIU rallied from a goal down to score three goals in the final six minutes of the first half and went on to win, 5-3, at San Diego State. The Panthers got goals from Josue Espana, Gonzalo Frechilla, Quentin Albrecht, Sean McFarlane and Luis Betancur. Abraham Villon led the Aztecs with two goals.
Frenchman Goffin Boyoko made it three goals in two games with a first-half header to lead UC Santa Barbara to a 1-0 win over UIC, giving the Gauchos
two-for-two on their Chicago road trip after Friday night's victory over Northwestern.

Louise Penny Help Desk: Part 1
As part of crime month on Canada Writes, we asked you to send along to us some of the questions you had for our Master Class leader Louise Penny. Here, Louise answers two of them—letting us know what kind of personal experience is required to write in the genre and what she did before turning into a crime fiction star.
Jennifer Haney Routledge of Palo Alto, California asks:
What professional and/or life experiences have given you the insight necessary to write crime fiction? What types of exposures do you suggest prospective crime writers open themselves up to?
I think crime fiction is about emotions, Jennifer: what drives a person to do something so dreadful? What happens to a man that he must make a ghost? Research you can always do—what great crime fiction writing, like any writing, demands is knowledge of yourself. Your inner thoughts and emotions. The lovely, kindly ones, and the rank, rancid, putrid ones. The more in touch with yourself you are, the more courage you have to look into your own dark corners, the better you'll be able to create them in your characters. "
Debbie James Gillund of Montreal, Quebec asks:
I read in your bio-blurb that you did not begin your writing career until your mid-forties. What did you do before that, and what gave you the courage and/or drive to start when you did? Was it something you had always wanted to do, or did it surprise even you?
Hi Debbie! I worked at CBC, hosting radio programmes before I took up fiction writing. But my dream since I was a child reading Anne of Green Gables and Charlotte's Web, was to write. I always felt so safe, so excited by and so comfortable in the fictional worlds I read about. I couldn't imagine anything more wonderful than creating them myself. "
Thanks Jennifer and Debbie for your questions! You've each won a copy of Louise Penny's latest mystery, A Trick of the Light.
Do you have questions for Louise Penny? If so, leave them on our Facebook wall or Tweet them to us @cbcbooks (#canadawrites). Our favourites will be sent along to her and if she answers your question then you too will win a copy of her latest mystery.

As the Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Cory Booker has been a prominent figure within the Democratic Party of the United States and the Cory Booker keynotes address his path to his political position and his post as mayor. Having attended Stanford University for a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science in 1991, Stanford again for his Master's in Sociology in 1992, the University of Oxford for a Bachelor's Degree in 1994 (where he was also a Rhodes Scholar) and Yale Law School for his J.D in 1997, Booker has an impressive list of educational experiences.
However, it is more than education that makes Booker a dedicated and respected political figure. After serving as a Central Ward Council Member for the City of Newark from 1998 until 2002, Booker experienced New Jersey in ways that have equipped him to be a passionate politician. As Mayor from 2006 to the present, Booker has made many headlines with his service to his constituency -- such as a reduction by 40% in the area of gun violence and a revitalization of the Newark Police Department. The Cory Booker keynotes reflect his passion for the political realm.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I was a bit sceptic at first about the whole dry shampoo thing, but I still decided I wanted to give this Tigi Rockaholic Dry Shampoo a try, as many of my friends already had used it for some time and was very pleased with it. Now, I always bring this Tigi with me when on holiday or travels, and I also often use it when time is short and hair needs refreshing!
I paid only 5 pounds for a 300 ml can of this product, and didn`t therefore expect it to be a miracle in the land of dry shampoos... But I have to say that after having used it now for a long tim, I still haven`t found a single aspect to complain about, it simply does what it promises to do and leaves your hair feeling clean, refreshed and lovely!
The scent of this shampoo is very reminiscent of perfumes you would use in summer, it has a very sweet, refreshing and citrus like feel to it that I have come to like very much!
This dry shampoo is very easy to use, you simply shake the can, spray onto your hair, leave it in for some minutes and then brush your hair afterwards... Easy and fast!
So, this is a Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo, but it`s no secret that this is a good product for good value!
I have a love/hate relationship with dry shampoos. It is something that I don't enjoy using but at the same time it is something that I always find myself buying as you never know when you might need it. For instance on those mornings when you sleep in and your hair is greasy and you don't have time to wash and style it before you leave the house.
Tigi Rockaholic Dirty Secret is one of the better dry shampoos that you can buy which is just as well as it is also one of the more expensive dry shampoos around. It cost me £8 which was for quite a large 300ml bottle so a little more than comparable high street versions.
This dry shampoo is a spray can and it works by lightly spraying what appears to be a fine mist of some powdery substance which is supposed to absorb excess oils and leave hair looking and feeling fresher.
You just spray at the roots for greasy roots or if you want to refresh your whole head of hair then you need to make sure that you spray the entire head. There is an art to using this and making sure that you don't get that horrible grey look that happens when the powder just sits on the top of your hair and drags it down and makes it look overly matt and heavy.
Once you have sprayed the shampoo you then need to vigorously rub it in to ensure that it is evenly spread. If you work it into the hair properly then the results are really good and the excess oil is removed and hair is left looking much better and although it won't look like you have just freshly shampooed it, it will look tons better than lank greasy locks.
If you don't rub the shampoo in properly then it can actually make your hair look worse than before you used it. If if just sits on the top of the hair your hair will look grey and as if it is matted and dirty which is really not a good look for anyone.
All in all I quite like this dry shampoo and have bought it on several occasions. It will never leave your hair looking as good as being freshly washed but in a pinch it will do.
I have to admit I used to be a bit of a snob when it came to haircare and all of my products were bought in the salon. However, since having a baby and only working part time I can no longer justify wasting money on non essentials. This is an item that cost me around £9 in my local salon. I have seen it on Amazon for £5.
A can of this contains 300ml of dry shampoo and is suitable for men and women. The packaging is similar to others in the Tigi Rockaholic range in that it is black with silver patterns and a brightly coloured top in this case bright green.
This product is designed to prevent the need to wash your hair daily thereby protecting your hair because your not heat styling it as often. The shampoo will absorb excess oils and help remove odours from your hair like oil and smoke. It also states it will add volume to your hair.
To use the dry shampoo you simply need to spray to sections of your roots from a distance of about 20cm and then wait a minute, you then need to brush your hair or if you have shorter hair work lightly into your hair.
The product states that it is colour free, however when I was using it I found like other dry shampoos it was a bit powdery. The product had a really nice 'fresh' smell which is great for me and women, although I can't see many men using this. The product was easy to work into my hair although I did get some residue which left my hair looking a little dull. The product did add volume to my roots however and absorb the grease meaning I could leave my hair a little longer than normal.
I would describe this product as ok. It isn't as good as Batiste dry shampoo which is a lot cheaper and a little disappointing from Tigi whose products I normally love. I would give it 3 out of 5 stars.
Using so many Tigi beauty products before, I decided I want to ween myself off washing my hair every day and I was going to a festival, we was going for the extra days and of course camping so there was no showers, I could go around the festival looking grungy so I had a few reasons to purchase a dry shampoo, I didn't really know which ones to buy, so I bought a really cheap £1.99 can and 'Tigi Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo' this was £5 for a 300ml can which, for this brand was a massive bargain. The places that stock Tigi products are : TKMaxx, Amazon, Look Fantastic. the TIGI website & a lot of hair salons.
For anyone who doesn't know, dry shampoo is an aerosol spray that you spray onto the roots of your hair and then work down your hair by brushing it, this then absorbs all the excess oils that make your hair 'greasy' it can be used so you don't have to wash your hair every day or to simply give your hair extra volume. This can be used on any hair type, any length and thickness and even if the hair is coloured. One of the main things about 'Tigi Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo' is that it is colour less.
I have short hair, just above my shoulders, but I wear extensions too, This can be used on any hair length which is good because it means you don't have to mess around buying lots of different products all the time you can just stick to this one, I have been trying to stop washing my hair every day, and so now I wash it every other day and dry shampoo in between, this saves a lot of time in the mornings and washing your hair really does make the shower a lot longer, and this is really handy for me as I find it hard to get up on time so if I am up late I can just have a quick spray and I've saved myself 20 minutes from not washing and drying it.
I use this when I'm going out or if I'm actually making an effort for the day, because I back comb my hair so it's fluffy and big, this dry shampoo helps to add volume to your hair and it makes it seem thicker which is useful to me because I have really fair hair and sometimes you can see my extension clips, this really does help to volumize your hair, compared to the cheaper dry shampoos, they are white sprays, and I have black hair so sometimes you can see the white which is very annoying. 'Tigi Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo' is colour less so when you spray it on you don't need to worry if you have a little patch that hasn't soaked in yet because no one can see it. Personally, I don't use a brush or comb to work this down my hair, I can just simply give my head a good rub and it all be fine and have even more volume to it.
The smell is citric, of course as you would expect because citrus acid gets rid of all smalls which is why all house hold cleaning products usually come in Lemon, this helps to cover up and discard any bad odors lingering in your hair. This smell is very invigorating and refreshing making you smell of lovely fruit, it isn't a strong smell and it won't be overpowering which is great because I like to wear perfume and I don't like my smells to clash.
I would 100% recommend this to anyone, the price is really cheap, it's a big can that will last just over a month if used int he right proportion.
I had always heard of dry Shampoo but have only been using it for the last couple of years. I don't know what I done without it, and it does wonders to perk up my Greasy Hair when i'm a little short of time. I have to wash my Hair every 2nd day but I find that on the 2nd day the Roots look a bit Oily halfway through to day, so a squirt of such a product is great.
I bought this about a month ago from Boots and there was an offer of 3 for the price of 2 on the Tigi range so I bought the Shampoo and Conditioner that I like to use and this tin. It's not the first time that I have used this.
This comes in a 300ml tin and I think this was selling for £5. It is more expensive than the other brand named Dry Shampoo out there but it is a brand name after all.
The tin looks like the picture on here. I don't think it is all that eye catching since it is a dark tin. Not exactly the bright and colourful tin that I would have expected.
Just use this in the usual way that you would use Dry Shampoo. Shake the tin, spray the area that you wish to cover, leave for a few minutes and then brush through your hair. This seems to spray out in a fine, clear spray and unlike the other brand named one which comes out a bit white and powdery then you brush that one through your hair with your fingers. So I feel that this one is better as you don't have the Powdery bits flaking out your Hair when you rub this in.
I find that I really notice a difference with this Shampoo. It seems to mop the Oil up quickly and my hair looks fresh, clean and non Greasy which is great and hassle free.
The scent of this is nice. It is a Citrus scent and although at first it smells quite strong and perhaps a little Sour, when this is in your hair then it takes any stale scents out your hair and leaves behind a lightly Citrus scent.
This tin lasts me a good lenght of time since a small squirt of this goes a long way and although it is a little more expensive I think this product is woth it.
Worth a try if you are looking for a Dry Shampoo.
A few weeks ago I got the good news that I was being made full time at work. And because I was so happy I decided to have a little shopping spree for myself and treat myself to some new hair products - Ive been neglecting my poor locks a little bit recently!! TIGI is always my first port of call when it comes to hair products of any kind so I decided to treat myself to a few sets I found at a discounted price on amazon and this 'TIGI Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo' was one of the products contained in the set. Now for me dry shampoo is a necessity as I work funny shifts and dont always have time for a proper wash and blow dry but Id only ever used one brand before (Batiste) so I had no idea whether this one would match up or even be better but because of the brand name I must admit I expected big things. Im happy to report I have not been disappointed this is another smash hit from TIGI!!
Useful Information:
Price: A 300ml can is around £5 (quite cheap for this brand IMO!)
Stockists: Amazon, Look Fantastic. the TIGI website & a lot of hair salons stock this brand.
Other Info: This product promises to - remove excess oils & odour from lifeless/dull hair, promises to make your hair look, feel & smell fresher. Also promises to save your hair from heat damage by ensuring you dont have to wash & blowdry it as much. Also adds texture and volume to tired locks.
*As far as I can tell this can be used on any hair length/type/colour. But it does say on the TIGI website that this one is ideal for thick hair - I dont have thick hair though and it works amazingly well so this is a product for anyone. I believe this one could even be used on men as well as its one of TIGI's less feminine products both look and scent wise!*
- - - - - - - - -
The packaging of TIGI products is always the first thing that attracts me to them and even though this one is a little more toned down than others its still really nice and a little bit edgy. This comes in a 300ml black and silver canister - like you would expect from a dry shampoo and it has a very rock chick (or dude!) look about it. Another great thing about this is the packaging is very unisex so women and men alike could have this in their bathroom without the fear or it looking to girly for the men or too masculine for the women - packaging wise it will appeal to everyone. On the front and back of the can is all the information you could need on the product - a small list of ingredients, directions for use, claims of the product, shelf life etc and should you need to know anything else there is an email address you can write to so all your questions should be answered. At the top of the can is the usual push down nozzle, like you would find on a body spray so packaging wise its pretty standard with an edge. Its very nice and effective in my opinion - and unisex!!
- - - - - - - - -
Normally I would add an ingredients list here but try as I might I cannot find a full list ANYWHERE on the WWW.! I would say if you have serious allergies to any ingredient normally used in hair products to email the company and make a query with them - that saves any disappointment when using this!
Using this is very simple as its no different from any other dry shampoo. You simply spray a small amount onto your greasy roots, wait a few minutes, work it through your hair and then brush through so all of your hair gets the benefit. Now here comes the thing I love most about this product - its totally colourless!! Now Im sure all other dark haired girls who have used dry shampoo will agree with me WE HATE the grey flakes it leaves behind when you accidently use a little bit too much! With this one you dont have that problem as it sprays out colourless and doesnt leave any residue or flakes in your hair whatsoever - although I still wouldnt recommend using laods and loads as that would make your hair feel very sticky and very matte (like using loads of hair spray!). Anyway applying it is very simple and can even be done on the go without using a mirror - I use this before starting work most of the time (we dont have mirrors there) and Ive always found it to work just as well and my hair always feels and looks better after Ive applied this. This is the perfect product for people who are planning on travelling or going to a festival and wont be able to wash your hair as often as you'd like - it really is like a wash and blowdry in a bottle, its just much faster!!
- - - - - - - - -
The scent was one thing I assumed I wouldnt like about this product. Its described as Citrus and that would not normally be my cup of tea! I thought it would smell a bit like furniture polish but Ive been amazed to find I really like the smell of this product. Yes it is very citrussy and lemony but not to the point where it smells overpowering or chemical. The citrus is very zingy and fresh and covers up every bit of stale cigarette odour on my hair for the whole day after Ive used it - even if I didnt like the smell anything is better than smelling like a giant cigarette. As with the packaging I believe the scent is also very unisex - its a very fresh, clean scent without being girly OR masculine so men and women alike would feel comfortable using and smelling like this product in my opinion - which I dont often say about products from this range as I would say they are usually aimed more at women - especially scent wise.
But even better than the smell is the results. I can say with 100% confidence this makes my hair look and feel so much cleaner and fresher when I use it. I love that it is colourless so I can use it on my dark hair as much as I like without any residue or flakes being left behind - that gives i the edge over other dry shampoos Ive used for a start. This helps my hair look cleaner and fresher without weighing it down or making it too matte or like I have loads of product on it - I normally use this 2 days in a row at most and Ive never found there to be a product build up in my hair so it does everything I wanted without any issues for me. Another thing I really like about this is the volume it gives to my hair. I dont know about other people but when y hair is in need of a good wash it goes very lank and dull looking but this gives it a serious boost and this does just that - gives my hair more volume without me having to wash and blowdry it for hours before it has that look. I would also say that using this has reduced the amount of times I wash and style my hair meaning I get less heat damage from my straighteners and hair dryer & means my colour has lasted much longer this time so everything about this product I love. There is literally nothing bad to say about it - yeah its a little more expensive than other dry shampoos but it is completely worth it for me!!

I have been looking into the Rockaholic range recently, after realising that I have purchased nearly all of the Bedhead products. The TIGI product concepts always interest me, along with their bottle designs which are really eye catching and the lovely scent of their products. The Rockaholic range seemed right up my street so I thought I'd give it a try!
This product sounded perfect for me. I have been buying dry shampoo from stores such as Boots for quite some time and it seems to be an 'in' thing at the moment, so I imagined that a dry shampoo by TIGI would be well.. Fab! As always, the exterior of the product is outstanding - their products always look great on a girls (or guys!) dressing table or in the bathroom and this is no exception. The dark bottle colour contrasted with the yellow/lime lid is a great combination that will catch anyones eye.
My main function for this product was to use the day after I washed my hair when it starts to look almost less fresh than the previous day. My hair is very thick and I find it gets oily, particularly through the months when it isn't hot enough for the sun to dry it out, and I notice how greasy it gets. I aim to wash it every other day as I dry to give my hair a break from the chemicals in shampoos and conditioners. To me, this seemed like the perfect solution.
So, I tried the product out when my hair started to look like it needed a wash and I was really pleased with the result. I shook the can well before use and sprayed it towards my roots as advised. The product can be rubbed or brushed into the hair to ensure it is absorbed properly. At first, it seemed great. My hair resumed its shine and looked fresh, although didn't really feel as though I had just washed it which was a bit of a let down. I was happy with it so far though. However, when I went out I noticed a couple of hours later that it had gone back to how it was before I put it on, perhaps even worse.
My verdict is that this product is great as a touch up for a short while, however the effects do not last and once they have worn off your hair will just feel limp. This product isn't an alternative to washing your hair, it just gets some shine and freshness back for a few hours. To be honest, I would rather make the effort to wash my hair - at least I know it'll last for the day, at least.
I love this dry shampoo from the Tigi range and it is an absolute must have when I go to festivals or on holiday as it provides a quick fix for your hair when you might not have chance to wash it. You can buy this online for around £6-7 or from some hair salons for anywhere up to £10. I picked up a can recently from my local Bodycare store for £5 which was a bit of a bargain so it is definitely worth shopping around for - in terms of value for money, a can generally lasts me about a year because you only need a tiny amount each time you use it, it therefore works out quite cheap.
Basically, you shake the can and spray it at the roots of your hair when they start to look a bit greasy (for me this is any day when I haven't washed it, virtually straight away). The stuff that comes out is strangely freezing cold and like a fine, white, powdery spray. Once it is on the roots it looks more like a powder than a liquid and you then massage it into your hair.
The effect is pretty much instantaneous and fairly impressive. It seems to dry out the greasiness of your hair and gives it the appearance of more fluffy, newly washed hair, it also seems to stop it sticking to your scalp and looking lank and heavy.
The smell of this spray is quite strong and a sort of fruity and floral scent. This is actually quite useful if you have been around smokers or have any cooking smells hanging around in your hair as it obliterates any nasty odours and makes your hair smell fresh as a daisy again. I have noticed that the scent does not linger all day though, only for a couple of hours.
You will not get away with using this two days in a row, unfortunately, the second time it will not particularly 'take' to the hair as effectively, I find. Really this is a bridging product to get you to your next shower! I find it particularly useful after a long haul flight as it will make my hair look decent until I can get to a hotel and sort it out properly and it is easy enough to apply in a small aeroplane bathroom.
Easy to use, very effective and good value for money, this is a product I would not want to travel without.
Tigi isn't a brand I buy very often, although I do love their shampoo and conditioners I think they're overpriced considering there are three of us in this house who all wash our hair every day so bottles of hair washing stuff don't tend to last long enough for me to splash out. And don't get me started on the Tigi styling range! I did have a few bits for Chrimbo though from a client of Marks who knows how much I love bathroom stuff in general, one item in my pressie being their Rockaholic Dry Shampoo.
This is basically a powder shampoo which you can use on those occasions when you haven't got the time (or inclination!) to wash your hair the normal way. The idea is to give the can a good shake then either spray on your hair to remove any grease, or spray along the length of your hair to freshen it up and make it look freshly washed. I've used it both ways and haven't been very impressed, much preferring to spend the extra few minutes in the bathroom washing my hair under the shower even if it means leaving the house with wet hair - after all, it's a proven myth that going out with wet hair will make you ill!
Rockaholic smells nice, and actually that's the only good thing about it! The smell is quite awkward to describe so all I can really say is that it's like a slightly perfumed baby powder, it's pleasant and the type of scent I like to use but unfortunately it doesn't last long to my nose so I'd actually prefer Tigi to have used something a little stronger. It has a fresh and uber girly scent, I can't for the life of me think why they came up with Rockaholic as a name as this is the least Rock-like smelling product I've ever smelled!
Spraying it onto the hair is easy, just make sure you've given the can a very good shake before you use it and you'll find the product will spray out smoothly and easily. The nozzle is angled nicely so you can spray it in any direction you need to, this is handy when you're just doing the roots of your hair as it allows you to get right up close to your scalp as well as underneath your hair and around your fringe area. Then simply leave the dry shampoo to work its magic and brush out.
Sounds good? Well, yes. But it isn't. For a start, the clean appearance doesn't last anywhere near the whole day and within a couple of hours of using it for the first time I was beginning to wish I had washed my hair properly. This won't make your hair *feel* clean so if, like me, you suffer from an itchy scalp if your hair is dirty then it will more than likely make this issue worse. To start with Rockaholic will leave your hair looking shinier (not dusty and grey, a'la Bastise Dry Shampoo) but this doesn't last long and after a while the grubby appearance of unwashed hair starts coming through.
The freshness doesn't last either. Even when spraying more than I really needed through my long hair (almost waist length) I didn't find it smelled or felt fresher than if I had just shoved it up in a ponytail, which is my usual way of dealing with hair that could do with a wash. As I wash my hair on a daily basis, I really only needed Rockaholic to freshen up the smell of my hair and help get rid of any lingering cigarette smoke from the night before. It couldn't manage this and after an hour or so I sniffed my hair and realised that I actually still smelled of stale Benson & Hedges, something I have been studiously trying to avoid since transferring from being an everyday smoker to a social (nights out only) one.
To add insult to injury, this can of Rockaholic will only do two or three applications which considering the price is not good at all. The first time I used it I only sprayed on my roots and on the hair at the nape of my neck, but when I shook the can I realised half of it was gone! I had to hide it then because if either of my girls' had seen and used it there would have been none left! Which wouldn't necessarily have been a bad thing, but I wanted to use it all up myself to really put the product through its paces.
£7.50 (or thereabouts) from any Tigi stockist.
I don't always like to wash my hair everyday as I like to give my hair a rest from shampoo's and conditioner, I have fine hair which is fly away after washing and drying and then it goes gresey after three days if I don't wash it again. Which means I have to wash it every other day or it drys out and begins to break.
I have found hair conditions changes with age and so to help it look good on the days I don't shampoo I use this Tigi Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo.
I like the name as it gives it a fashionable edge.
Dry shampoo's came out when I was younger in the 70's and I have tried them before so this one looked a good up to date choice as it is a trendy stylish black and silver aerosol spray.
This cost me £5 from the Savers shop in my local town but you can buy it from hair salons and online for around £7 for a 300ml can.
This is a little expensive but it's not for everyday use so you only need a light spray for it to work.
The spray is a light white dusty consistancy that is aimed at the roots of your hair and covers the ends of the hair at the scalp. Shake the can well before use and hold at least three inches away from the scalp for a good covering. The spray smells a little flowery which will freshen the hair and cover any smells of smoke if you've been out clubbing the night before and haven't had time to wash your hair.
My son uses this too as he's likes to burn the midnight oil so to speak.
Once the spray is on the hair gently massage it into the hair with the fingers, the hair will feel a little dry but should fluff up instead of sticking to the scalp. Then brush as normal.
Using too much spray will leave a white residue next to the scalp so go lightly.
The dry shampoo will leave the hair in a slightly better condition than before using it and for the quick and easy option if your late for an appointment or work and don't have time to wash your hair, then it is good in an emergency.
This isn't for everyday use and there's no point using it two days in a row as it will stick the hair together and make it look less shiney and lack lustre.
If your just in a hurry then this is ok to grab and spray.
I normally wash my hair every day because if i don't it looks very greasy and flat. i suppose when i bought this product i was being a bit lazy as i saw it as a good alternative to having to wash my hair every day. i have tried dry shampoo before and not liked it but i have always highly rated Tigi products and thought a dry shampoo from this brand might be worth a go. Like all Tigi products it is a bit expensive but i love the shampoos and conditioners so was quite happy to part with my money when i bought this from the local salon. I tried it straight away and at first i was impressed, it seemed to perk up my hair and make it shine. But as the day went on my hair became lank again and just felt unclean. I decided that perhaps i hadn't used enough of the product so a couple of days later i tried it again. But using more of the shampoo seemed to make it worse. My hair looked very greasy and had a straw like feel which i was very concious about. i also noticed i had white powdery clumps in my hair which looked like dandruff! Not a good look. I wasn't impressed. After experimenting a bit more with this product (after all it cost me a small fortune) i noticed that it didn't look to bad if i wore my hair up but i just couldn't tolerate the way it made my hair feel if it was down. Nevermind, i tried, but at the end of the day i don't believe there is a substitute for clean, freshly washed hair.
Have you ever had a bad hair day? I had loads of those recently which were not helped by using herbal essences new formula of shampoo and conditioner which had left my hair looking lifeless. I decided to treat myself to some really nice hair care products after getting a haircut so headed through to a designer discount outlet where they have Tigi products on sale. As well as buying some excellent shampoo and conditioner I decided to buy the Rockaholic dirty secret dry shampoo too for those days when I can't be bothered to have a shower and wash my long hair.
Dry shampoo works by absorbing any grease and dirt from your hair, I regularly use the Batiste brand which is excellent, unfortunately the Tigi dry shampoo which cost around £6 for a 300ml bottle from a discount store is not nearly as good.
The dry shampoo smells absolutely amazing, like lemonade and it is a lovely fresh smell. To use you spray the shampoo into your hair and leave it for a few minutes to absorb any dirt and then brush it out again taking any dirt out with the shampoo.
I found the dirty secret dry shampoo was only partially effective and not nearly as good as the cheaper batiste. If your hair is still almost clean then it looks good when you use the shampoo on but if you are sweaty after the gym or your hair is greasy then you might as well not bother using it for all the effect it has. As well as having a minimal effect on how my hair looks it still leaves it feeling dirty. I have experimented by using varying amounts of the dry shampoo but even using vast amounts of it makes little difference.
The good thing about the dry shampoo from Tigi is that it is nice and light so does not leave my scalp feeling itchy, it also leaves a nice fresh smell on my hair which lingers all day.
A poor product from Tigi which does not measure up to the excellence of their other products. Save your money and buy 3 cheap and cheerful bottles of Batiste instead of one can of dirty secret.
I bought this Tigi Dry Shampoo because I am getting sick of washing my hair every day, I wanted to start washing it every other day, but after one day of my hair being washed it is suddenly greasy and although it is not awful, I like the feel of my hair being completely clean. So I thought perhaps a dry shampoo would enable my hair to feel like it was just washed for an extra day.
I have used talc in powder before and although this removes the grease from hair it leaves your hair looking grey because of the colour of talc in powder being white.
***Where to buy this and how much is it***
You can buy it in most hair salons and it retails at £10.50. However there are many online shops where you can get two for £9.99.
***What did I think of it?***
Well to be honest I wasn't very impressed. I sprayed it through my hair and underneath it to get to the roots. It was slightly white in colour on my hair but once I had brushed it through my hair the white colour had disappeared so this was a pro against the talc in powder. However I didn't feel like it really made my hair feel as if it were washed, it just made it bare able not to wash it. So its claim that it removes excess oils from the roots didn't really take effect.
My main disappointment with it was that to get the closest feel to just washed hair, I had to spray a lot of it through my hair. This meant that I found within 3 weeks of use I had virtually used up the whole spray can and baring in mind that I only use it every other day, this is not great value for money.
I have seen a couple of other dry shampoos in Boots and I think I am going to try those out which retail around £5.99 rather than spending double that on what doesn't act as a salon product should do.
I do love many of the Tigi and Bed Head products but I was quite disappointed with this product, so I will keep searching for a better one. However it is not all bad news on this product, it did smell fantastic! It smelt quite tropical, but is the smell worth an extra £5 on other dry shampoos? I don't personally think so.
Tigi dry shampoo
I have recently been buying quite a lot of the Tigi products and this is one I bought in the hope that my hair would look (if not feel) clean even when I didn't have time to wash it.
This product promises to be "funktabulous", allowing you to leave your hair another day without washing and making hair smell fresh. It's supposed to absorb excess oil and the texture of the shampoo will allow you to have fabulous "up dos"!!
The product comes in a funky 300ml can with a lime green pull off/push on lid. There are no instructions on the back so it's worth checking out the website, www.tigihaircare.com to make sure you're doing it right.
When I spray the can, a light mist of what looks like white powder comes out in a steady stream. It does, like most of the Tigi products, smell good- kind of fresh and fruity.
Shake the can well. For volume and texture, the product should be sprayed just at the roots and for the absorbtion of oil and odours, it should be sprayed all over the hair. Then, brush the hair or work the product to achieve the desired style.
This is widely available in stores and online and the average price seems to be around the £7 mark.
I have tended to use this right through my hair which left it feeling ratty and dirtier; really dry and straw like. Given that it was a big bottle I persevered and used varying amounts but with the same result- not nice. I used in on a couple of occasions almost as a styling product to back comb my hair and this seems to work better although my hair still didn't in any way feel clean, just product loaded. It does smell nice when it is applied but this doesn't last for very long and it's quite difficult to rid your hair totally of the white powder, giving an almost grey sheen to hair.
The product is useful if you have hair which hasn't been washed for a few days and you want to style it but as an alternative to washing I would say a definite no. Far easier and probably quicker to wash hair than to struggle with the product.

Highest Ceiling
Taylor Teagarden: Many believed the Rangers got a steal when they were able to select the hometown product in the third round of the 2005 draft. Aside from his affiliation with superagent Scott Boras, doubts about Teagarden's bat led him to drop to the Rangers at 99th overall. There was never any question about Teagarden's defense, as he is an advanced game-caller and learned to work with pitching staffs while playing at the University of Texas. Teagarden also works with fluid mechanics behind the plate to go with a strong, accurate arm.
Teagarden ran into injury problems and missed practically the entire 2006 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Still somewhat limited by his injury this year, Teagarden caught nearly one-third of his games and DHed the others. His defense remained as solid as ever and his arm strength appeared to improve as the season progressed. But the story for Teagarden in 2007 was his offense. The 23-year-old displayed the ability to hit for average (.310) and power (27 home runs) with solid plate discipline (75 walks) in 110 games between High-A Bakersfield and Double-A Frisco. Teagarden struggled to make contact at times – racking up 128 strikeouts, including 39 in 102 Double-A at bats – but he should hit enough to be an everyday catcher in the majors.
Teagarden's defense may be enough to carry him to the majors by itself, but his offensive development makes him one of the organization's top prospects. Aside from giving the Rangers Gold Glove caliber defense, Teagarden could develop into a .280 hitter with 15-20 home runs annually.
Max Ramirez: Ramirez became one of the best pure hitters in the Rangers organization the day he was acquired this past July. The 22-year-old is a line drive hitter that has hit for both average and power throughout his professional career. He has a thick and strong body and figures to develop a little more home run power as he grows older. Ramirez has already drawn praise from the organization for his outstanding strike zone judgment.
The knock on Ramirez has been his defense, but the native of Venezuela has only been catching for three years and continues to show improvement behind the plate. Ramirez's arm is good enough for the position and his handling of pitching staffs has steadily improved. The primary area of focus for Ramirez in 2007 was his footwork, which he feels is also getting better. He gunned down 30 percent (9-of-30) of prospective base stealers after he joined the Rangers organization and should be good enough to remain at catcher down the line.
Closest to Majors
Chris Stewart: Stewart doesn't project to be much more than a big league backup, but he could fulfill that role for the Rangers in 2008. The 6-foot-4 backstop broke camp as the Rangers' backup catcher this past season and displayed his strong arm, as he nailed four of eight attempted base stealers. He went on to throw out 38% after being sent to Triple-A Oklahoma. Stewart did struggle with his receiving abilities in the minors, racking up 10 passed balls in only 45 contests with the Oklahoma RedHawks. Though Stewart's defense is good enough to land him a role in the majors, he is a career .251 minor league hitter and batted just .242 in 153 minor league at bats this season.
The "Sleepers"
|De Los Santos has a strong arm. b>
Need to Make Their Move
Kevin Richardson: At 27 years of age, Richardson recently completed his fifth full professional season and his second at Double-A Frisco. The Gonzaga product has developed into a fine defensive catcher and even threw out 36-of-87 (41%) base stealers with the RoughRiders in 2007. But despite repeating the Texas League, Richardson saw his offensive production drop off in nearly every category. With solid skills behind the plate and a little bit of pop, Richardson could eventually become a backup catcher. However, with just one year left before he becomes eligible for minor league free agency, that opportunity might not come as a Texas Ranger.
Manuel Pina: The 20-year-old Pina has hands-down the best arm for a catcher in the Rangers system. Originally signed out of Venezuela in 2004, the club moved Pina behind the plate and he has done nothing but impress in all facets of the game defensively. Pina spent the entire 2007 season with Single-A Clinton after an elbow injury caused him to miss most of 2006. Because of his time missed, Pina has yet to develop with the bat. The right-handed hitter batted .228 with one home run in 86 games with the LumberKings this season. Pina does make contact – he struck out just eight times in 142 second-half at bats – but wasn't able to square the ball up often enough. As solid as he is behind the plate, it is far too early to give up on Pina, but he will have to show more with the bat as he will likely repeat the Midwest League in 2008.
The Jury is Still Out
|Santana is an advanced hitter. b>
Jonathan Greene: Regarded as an outstanding hitter during his time at Western Carolina, Greene racked up 33 home runs over three seasons with the Catamounts. The Rangers' eighth round pick in the 2007 draft, Greene continued to hit for power in professional baseball, as he launched 11 round-trippers in 58 games during his debut with the Spokane Indians. Although the 22-year-old spent the majority of his professional season behind the plate, he was more of a utility player during his collegiate career, spending a great deal of time at third base and left field. Greene may very well develop into a fine prospect, but many advanced college hitters dominate the Northwest League in their debut only to never be heard from again.

What are the most popular apps for travelers? Which apps should you definitely have on your smartphone when you're planning or booking a trip? Which ones will still be useful once you get home again?
This summer, mobile analytics firm App Annie began indexing the top apps in the Travel & Transportation category to see which apps are most popular among travel-minded Android and iOS users. Beginning in June, App Annie looked at the top apps in the Google Play Store and iOS App Store. While the June report looked at the category as a whole and divided apps into categories of Airline, Hotel & Lodging, Ground Transportation, and Aggregator, the July report focused on the Hotel & Lodging category, a specific subset of travel and transportation apps. The reports measure the most popular apps by number of downloads across Android and iOS, and draw on App Annie's tracking of 60 billion app downloads.
As the mobile analytics firm notes, the travel industry has historically been slow to embrace technological advances, but now that tradition is changing to keep up with the market. "Mobile devices are quickly becoming the focal point of travel planning," the June report notes. "Millennials, who will soon make up the lion's share of travel spending, have the highest levels of smartphone penetration in the U.S. and are the most likely to use mobile apps to enhance their travel experiences."
In June, sharing economy apps like Lyft and Uber and public transit apps like HopStop Transit and Moovit landed in the top ten ground transportation apps. Similarly, Airbnb landed squarely at the top of the list of most-downloaded hotel and lodging apps in June, and five of the top ten overall travel and transportation apps were aggregators (think Hotels.com, Expedia, and TripAdvisor). Additionally, App Annie's June results for the top seven airlines by app downloads exactly mirrored the top seven airlines by domestic revenue passenger mile with apps by Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, American Airlines, and US Airways at the top of the list. In the firm's July report, App Annie paid particular attention to apps in the hotel and lodging category, because downloads of apps in that category grew by more than 30 percent with apps by Airbnb, Marriott International, Hilton HHonors, and HomeAway in the lead.
So what are the most popular travel and transportation apps that you should consider downloading? Let's look at App Annie's July results for the most popular travel and transportation apps. (These are the apps with the highest number of downloads across iOS and Android.) With these popular apps, your smartphone may be the only tool you need to plan and book your next getaway — or make exploring your own city a little more fun.

Got plenty of primers, powder, bullets & boolits ; )

Got plenty of primers, powder, bullets & boolits ; )
I have never run out of ammo or panic buy,I can cast bullets and reload for everything from 380 to 44 magnum,223 and 308,Ihave about 10 pounds of rifle powder and 40 pounds of pistol powder not to mention around 50,000 primers.I been reloading for about 8 years and I shoot around 300 rounds every week,even when nobody else could find ammo.But even unprepared reloaders that buy 1000 primers and a pound of powder at a time got caught because the primers were bought up and Powder that was very common was sold out
The people that get caught in the panic buying are the people that can pretty much only afford a box of ammo a month and I feel for those guys,but people that have the cash reserves to stockpile either ammo or get into reloading but wait til the panic is on.
There are also retailers that buy cases of ammo and then when people need it jack the prices up 100% thats a hell of a return on your money
^^^^^^Funny how some people^^^^^^^^^
Keep their heads in the sand, then when the sky does fall, they can't see it.
They scream , "This is America for God sakes, they would never do this, & never do that".
While is some other state, what they are saying will never happen, already has.
I shoot a couple thousand rounds of 22lr a year, and nearly a thousand center fire rounds yearly also. I try to keep a two year supply on hand. But this year I'm a little behind in the rimfire. I have reloading supplys to keep me shooting for at least another couple of years in all the calibers I'm set up to reload. But I need to find a god sale on 22lr. DR
After experiencing the Obammoscare of 2008-2009, I make sure to keep about 1000 rounds of every caliber on hand at all times. That way I can still go shooting and wait 'til prices decline to replenish. This'll slow down at some point.
Some observations and conclusions that I have come to over the years...
Those that do not observe,or refuse to see and understand the world around them...
call it hoarding, panic buying, price gouging, and put the blame on the retailers...
Those that do observe, pay attention and anticipate...
but what they can, when they can, while they can.
When it is out, it is out.
There will be those that have what they need and there will be those that wish they had what they need but are too late.
He had full intentions of addressing our guns in the second term, if he got a second term. And you can take it to the bank, he's going to address them now that he has a second term. This recent school shooting in CT, was all they needed to put it on a "fast track." Especially with a Republican (supposedly pro-gun) party in complete disarray and barely holding control of the House with their fingers.
I look for things to be done in stages over the next 4 years. But if Republican's lose control of the House in the 2014 mid-terms, we are toast, and it'll be full steam ahead for Obama & Co.
Now I ask you, what exactly to you think a "Fundemental Transformation of America" means?
When people tell you exactly what they are going to do... Why do so many people continue not to believe them?
Obama: "We're going to fundementally transform America!"
Obama: "I fully support an Assault Weapons Ban!"
I hope it means getting out of debt, starting fewer guerrilla wars, and letting the free market economy do what it does best. Smaller government/less waste would be nice too. That's change I can believe in!
But seriously - they are definitely going to try to ban guns. Having a 2 party system, and the Republican party always looking like a bunch of idiots doesn't help at all.
Been slowly stocking my shelves for a L-O-N-G time. No need to panic here. Would love to start reloading, maybe this spring.
^^Maybe this^^^^^^^^^^^^
seen below.
Agenda 21 is a two-decade old, grand plan for global 'Sustainable Development,' brought to you from the United Nations. George H.W. Bush (and 177 other world leaders) agreed to it back in 1992, and in 1995, Bill Clinton signed Executive Order #12858, creating a Presidential Council on 'Sustainable Development.' This effectively pushed the UN plan into America's large, churning government machine without the need for any review or discussion by Congress or the American people.
Is the Soros-Sponsored 'Agenda 21′ a Hidden Plan for World Government? (Yes, Only it Is Not Hidden) | Video | TheBlaze.com
Local shops here r cleaned out! I got the last bulk bag of 556 I could find.. A shop here said he sold 53 ar-15s in 3 days! Now that's crazy! Also said that gun manufactures r turning down orders on Guns and they are already at their production limit for 2013 with the orders they already have.. Crazy stuff out their right now for the semi autos..
I don't need to touch my defensive stash. My practice stuff may run out by 2016. If prices stay elevated, it'll make reloading more economical.

Harriet Tubman. Oskar Shindler. Esther. People iconic for their courage and the bold actions they took to save the lives of others, actions that put their own lives at risk.
Every time I hear a story about someone who stands up to society, their peers, their family – someone who goes against the norm – to right an injustice, I wonder if I would be so brave. Fortunately, I have never had to put my own life on the line; fortunately, most of us never have to.
But most of us do encounter events in our daily lives when we see something happening that we know is wrong. Then we face the choice: engage or walk away, speak up or remain silent.
I confess, I have failed the test more often than I like to admit. One time in particular sticks in my mind.
For 30 years I worked in the public relations business, a job that sent me all over the United States interviewing farmers, veterinarians, and scientists who used my clients' products. One trip to a North Carolina tobacco farm in 1977 opened my eyes to race relations as I'd never experienced it before, while leaving life-long scars on my heart.
As the interview wound down, the farmer and I were standing in the yard, exchanging pleasantries about the weather and local sports teams. Just then a young black boy, maybe eight or nine years old, came out of the barn.
"Hey, Joseph." The farmer waved him over. "You need to dance for this lady."
The boy stood, his arms limp at his sides, his bare feet covered in the soft dust of the lane.
I blanched. Dance for the lady? "Oh, no," I excused myself. "I need to be going."
"He likes to do it. He's a real good dancer," the farmer insisted.
The boy looked at me. I cannot recall if I smiled or even met his eyes.
Dance for the lady? All I could think about was slave owners forcing their slaves to entertain visitors. Sweat poured down my neck. Thunder roared in my ears. My eyes swam. I wanted no part of this. Yet I could see no way out.
The boy danced for me. And I said nothing.
Why? Out of some misguided sense that I would offend the farmer, my client's customer? Because I was so shocked I didn't know what to say? Because I was a coward? I really don't know. What I do know is that I will always wear the shame of not stopping that demeaning act.
Confronted with a blatant injustice today, I hope I would do better, that I would have the courage to act. But who knows for sure? The circumstances are seldom simple, the decisions seldom clearcut.
The question of if, when, and how to engage in the face of injustice is at the heart of the novel I'm writing now. In the course of her work as a consultant, my main character must face her own biases and decide how long she can remain on the 'it's not my job' fence.
The story is autobiographical only in that the issue is one I've always thought about. Like me, my main character doesn't always get it right.
What has your experience been in speaking up – or not – when you saw something that seemed unfair?

My Drunk Kitchen Apron
Following Our Harto
There's a lot of love for Hannah Harto around the SparkFun office, so when we saw her campaign to launch a national tour, the enthusiasm level was high. After some measured and rational debate, we persuaded our fearless leader to risk a sizeable investment in the Internet and bring Harto to SparkFun headquarters!
In this tutorial, we will show you how to make your own (possibly haunted) MDK apron, complete with downloadable audio clips from your Harto!
Suggested Reading
Here are some skills used in this tutorial. If you are unfamilir with any of them, please take a look before building your MDK Apron.
Gather Your Ingredients
Here is a list of the electronics parts you'll need to create this project. We've included a little bit of soldering and a little bit of sewing. The basic tools for those tasks aren't on this list, so make sure to include those if you don't already have them!
You also need a few non-electronic parts:
- A blank apron (you can make this if you'd like- we bought one from a restaurant supply store)
- Felt to make food shapes
- Glue (I used hot glue, but do whatever works for you!)
Prep Work
Let's start with the buttons!
We used five buttons, shaped like a grilled cheese sandwich, a taco, nachos, a corndog, and a "Just say no to baking!" icon. If you'd like to use the same shapes, you can download the PDF or vector files here!
All of the instructions for completing a button out of these or any other shapes have already been demonstrated in the LDK Experiment 4 tutorial. Cut out your shapes, either using our templates or your own favorite foods, and follow the same steps to create your buttons!
You may have noticed in the video that the buttons are a little bit glitchy. I chose to consider that some of the charm of a handmade gift, but you can reduce the false positive rate on those by making them smaller, so that they don't flex every time the body wearing them moves! If you REALLY want precision, you can create plain old felt shapes that AREN'T buttons, place them, and then place regular ol' LilyPad buttons next to them and wire THOSE up. It doesn't have the fun factor of mashing down on the big felt shapes to generate the sound, but you'll get a LOT more precision.
Mix It Up
We're working with the LilyPad MP3 trigger, a very cool piece of hardware that will let us play sound clips through the apron. To get there, we'll have to add speakers, and we're also going to throw in a lithium polymer battery charger to make it easy to charge the apron up when the batteries die. For this portion of the apron, we're going to do a little bit of soldering. Wire will give us better sound running to the speakers than thread would. The wire will also form a very solid connection to the charger, which is likely to take a little bit of stress when plugging and unplugging the battery.
Start with the charger. Both the charge board and the MP3 trigger have a black JST connector on them. Behind the connector, each board has two small through-holes, labeled positive and negative. Using stranded hookup wire, connect these, positive to positive and negative to negative. To power your circuit, you will plug the Lithium Polymer battery into the JST connector on the red charge board. To charge the circuit, plug a micro USB cable into the silver connector on the red board. An LED will illuminate to let you know it's charging.
Next, the speakers. The white wires on your speakers aren't long enough to reach the top of the apron where you need them, so you're going to extend them with more hookup wire. Strip and solder the ends. Once they're solidly connected, cover the junction up with a bit of heatshrink to help protect it.
Over the sew tabs for the left and right speakers, there are two pairs of through-hole solder holes. If you flip the board over, those holes are labeled L and R for left and right. Each set also has a positive and negative.
Go ahead and solder both sides of one speaker into the left set of through holes, and both sides of the other speaker into the right set.Notice the tiny '+' and '-' signs on the back of the speakers. Match each wire accordingly.
Next, you'll want to get these parts placed on the apron. Ours had two key features that we really liked: a wide double-thickness hem at the top edge and a pencil pocket. We made heavy use of these features, so if you don't have them, you might have to get a little creative.
First, we cut a slit along the bottom of that wide top hem, turning it into a sort of inverted pocket. We slid the two speakers into that pocket, black sides facing towards what will be the front of the apron. Once we were happy with them, we secured them with a couple of small dots of hot glue on the back sides.
Next, we cut a tiny hole in the back of the pocket.
This allowed us to drop the lithium polymer battery into the pocket, then poke the wire through the back and plug it into the red charge board. Turn on the power switch on the MP3 trigger, and you should see an LED light up.
You could use another couple of drops of hot glue to hold these boards on, but you'll be doing it on a single-thickness of fabric, so it could show through. I recommend a couple of quick stitches with regular, non-conductive thread to hold everything in place while you sew your traces.
With your speakers and charger attached, you're ready to get down to some serious sewing!
Cookin' Along
Here's a diagram of how you're going to want to put this bad boy together. All of these traces can be sewn by machine – I used a machine because that allowed me to use a white top thread and a conductive bottom thread, which made the stitches nearly invisible from the front of the apron. If you hand sew, they're going to be a little more visible. Regardless of the route you choose, you'll need to hand stitch the MP3 trigger and button edges onto the ends of the traces. You can do this by winding your conductive thread around the trace and knotting it before you sew down the corresponding component tab. It's easy and effective!
A quick note on placement: we wanted the buttons on the front of the apron, but the circuitry on the back where you couldn't see it. So, when you're looking at the diagram, grey components are on the opposite side of the fabric as the colored components.
As shown in the diagram, you're linking one side of each button to a numbered track tab on the MP3 player. The other sides of the buttons will all meet at the GND pin. It's fine for those threads to touch, cross, or contact each other – they're all going to the same place! It's also important to note that when I say 'side' of the button, I mean those two conductive edges you made while you were following the button tutorial, which are the two spots that aren't conductively connected to each other unless the button is being pushed. The end result should be that when you press a button, connecting the two sides of it, you're also connecting the associated numbered pin to ground. That's what tells the MP3 trigger to play a sound.
Here's a quick detail shot of the top of the apron, so you can see the connections to the MP3 board.
Special Sauce
You've got a beautiful apron and an awesome circuit, but the project lacks Hart, no? Here are four sets of audio clips you can choose from to finish up! Choose any 5 sounds clips from these downloads to associate with your 5 buttons!
Set 1: Food Related Quotes from MDK Episodes

- Pin 2 (Corndog)
- Pin 3 (No Baking)
- Pin 4 (Nachos)
- Pin 5 (Taco)

Set 4: One Liners
- "Grilled Cheese"
- "Corn Dog"
- "Nachos"
- "Taco"

Download the entire set here.
Uploading your chosen tracks to the MP3 trigger is a cinch! You'll need to pop your flash memory card into an SD card reader, and plug it into your computer.
When you unzip the sound files, you might notice that each file has a name that starts with a number between one and five. We've named the files to correspond with the pin that has the matching food in our diagram. If you moved the foods around and connected them to other pins, or if you cherry picked sound files and don't have one of each number, you'll need to change the names. The file you want to play when you press the button attached to pin one should start with the digit 1, pin two should start with 2, etc.
Once you've got one track with each number, save those to your memory card. Take it out of your card reader and pop it into the SD card slot on your MP3 trigger. It's that easy! Power it up, and try pressing the buttons to hear your sounds!
Serve It Up
If you were using our felt templates, you also got a couple of extra pieces – an MDK monogram and the spatula glass logo. We used those to embellish our pencil pocket and give it a little bit of pizazz!
Charging your apron is easy. The red charge board you connected at the very beginning has a plug for a micro USB on it. You can connect this to any micro USB charge cord, or just a USB to Micro USB plugged into your computer.
If you need to wash the apron, be gentle! No machine washing, just a gentle hand wash or spot clean, and make sure that you unplug the battery first!
Thanks again to Hannah Hart for visiting and making this all possible!

Change my vote from 6-8 to 9. I left one out. Ruger MK111 with a red dot.
If you don't use it, you lose it. Or something like that. Was that meant for guns?
As many as I can! Or should I say that my wife will let me
I have three...
Smith & Wesson 442 Airwieight 38 Special with CT Laser
Kel Tec P-3AT 380
Cobra 380
I currently have the following.
Ruger Blackhawk .357
Jennings .380
.22 single action revolver (brand unknown)
Working on more at the moment! :mrgreen:
just purchased my 5th pistol ever, which makes four in my possesion right now. sold my firestorm . 380 about a year ago, kinda wish i didn't now.
glock 17, glock 19(new one), rossi 851 38spl, s & w 22a.
I have only one, but I seem to like rifles a bit more:smt023:smt023:smt023
I am not yet an owner, but after my first im sure the collection will increase...
I'm thinking of collecting handguns for investment purposes. I bought my first Glock 19 almost 18 years ago for around $500 and I'm sure I could get $400 tomorrow if I needed the money. A good handgun will hold it's value.
I own several but did not buy them all. Many were given to me by gun makers, some were inherited and some were bought for court exhibits.
Being a gun lover, I am always on the lookout for another gun at a decent price. They generally will increase in value with time.
I bought a Colt AR 15 in the mid 60's for $149. A sheriff recently offered me $1,200 for it.
I paid $129 for a S&W model 36 in 1972 and could get $350 for it today.
Guns are great investments.
updating I now have 4 pistols, 3 rifles and one shotgun. hopefully adding a p-3at, lcp or lcr to the collection soon.
I don't have a large collection by collector standards, but some are priceless because they were my grandfathers. My favorites:
Sig: p226, 229, 245
Colt model 1903
Colt Officers Revolver
hi guys , in the county of rockland in southern New York , the judge decides how many you can own , a short time ago a collector moved to New Hamsphire after the local judge denied a additional pistol to be added to a excisting pistol license , the man owned over 70 , but another according to the judge one more was too many , zorro
ps say a prayer for NY tomorrows the beginning of the end of legal gun ownership
3 handguns and I am now looking at the XD40 for number 4.
Currently own 3 pistols, S&W M&P 9c, S&W M&P 45c, Walther P22,and a remington 870 18" 20 gauge....Looking to buy an XD 9 sc next...
4 hand guns presently. The only one longer than 3 in. is a ruger p89. Hate the trigger pull on this one.
I have 3.
S&W Model 28 Highway Patrolman 357
Sig Sauer P230
Walther P22
Looking to add a 45 and a 9mm soon.
LMFAO I can't believe some of you guys really do have 70+ handguns. OOOOhhh how I envy you!!!
I am a proud px4 owner, my lonely pistol for now.....:smt083
all sigs here
Being retired and working parttime makes it a little easier for me to curtail my urges, limited budget and all. However, I find that I am in need of a .22(hee, hee) since I have about 2000 rounds of a.22LR that are just itching to go flying somewhere. I do have a Springfield 87A semi-auto rifle, but don't fire it at the range.
I can understand though about never being enough. I currently have in addition to the Springfield, a Taurus PT92AF, a Taurus 24/7 Pro DS in .40 S&W, and my little Eastern European special, a Polish P64 in 9x18. And the P64 is in need of a buddy that I saw at my local gun shop. So, if I can swing it, there may be two more in the immediate future.

The big economic story of our times is not the Great Recession. It is how China and India began to embrace neoliberal ideas of economics and attributed a sense of dignity and liberty to the bourgeoisie they had denied for so long. The result was an explosion in economic growth and proof that economic change depends less on foreign trade, investment, or material causes, and a whole lot more on ideas and what people believe.

Bourgeois Dignity turns to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe to reconsider the birth of the Industrial Revolution and the rise of capitalism. According to McCloskey our modern world was not the product of new markets or imperial theft, but rather of shifting opinions about the economy. Talk of private property, commerce, innovation, and the bourgeoisie radically altered, becoming far more approving and contradicting prejudices several millennia old. The wealth of nations, then, didn't grow so dramatically after 1800 because of economic factors; it grew because rhetoric about markets, enterprise, and innovation finally became enthusiastic and encouraging of their inherent dignity.Bourgeois Dignity retells the story of modern economic growth, recasting what we thought we knew from 1776 to the present. McCloskey tests the traditional stories against what actually happenedu and the usual stories don't work very well. Not Marx and his classes. Not Max Weber and his Protestants. Not Fernand Braudel and his Mafia-style capitalists. Not Douglass North and his institutions. Not the mathematical theories of endogenous growth. Not the left wing's theory of working-class struggle, nor the right wing's theory of spiritual decline. What works is "rhetoric." What people said about markets and innovation changed in Holland and then England and then the world. --Book Jacket.… (more)
