is there way to Kill bacteria around the tooth ROOT CANAL using natural means?

heres the thing:
what dentists today dont tell you(and pretend they dont know about is microbial bacteria being trapped within the tooth sometimes travelling to other parts of the body and creating other illnesses.
You need to do some reading on Weston Prices work:
link to www.healingteethnaturally.com
check that sites out too its pretty good.
it does sound like you have an infection trapped in there.
Usually a normal dentists will clean out the roots(filing the canals) again and again until they'think' theres no infection left.
Antibiaotics sometimes dont work if youd had heaps of them or the infection type changes.
You can try some natural antibiotic remedies like taking colloidal silver, vitC/zinc, garlic,etc.
Youll know your really in trouble if you get an abcess that doesnt form a pimple on the gum and cant drain.
have the put a crown on the root canal?how many times have they filed/cleaned the roots?
did you have an abcess/pain before you had root canal?did it form an abcess that drained?

This root canal (bottom molar) was first done a year ago (it was supposed to be a filling, but after dentist prepped it for a filling, it became sensitive to the touch, so dentist started a root canal. There were shooting nerve pains right after the procedure, so he sent me to a specialist) Specialist finished the root canal and sealed it. I took antibiotics at that time. Tooth never settle for a year (always tender, especially when pressing on sides).
So finally, it was retreated 2 months ago, special medicine was put in it twice (it was cleaned out at least 3 times by a specialist - one of the times it was cleaned, there was a lot of throbbing pain in the gum/tooth right after - so I had to take strong antibiotics).
It got better, but still was tender like before, but a week ago, it suddently got weird pains when eating/drinking hot stuff.
I don't believe there was ever drainage, but as I mentioned there were times after procedure when it was very painful and swollen, I had to take antibiotics, and also a steroid shots.
Another thing happened recently, a top gum/tooth above it got really painful about 2 months ago as well, there was some drainage in that area, and I did a heavy duty oil pulling/silver/oregano/etc that eventually cleared it off. I don't know if it's related....
Root canal is not completed (still has medicine in it).
I have been doing oil pulling every day with coconut oil.

holy shit.
first-sounds like you didnt actually need a root canal when you visited the dentist because of a cavity-a good dentist can crown a badly cavitied tooth-unless he drills out the hole too much to expose the pulp/nerve, which is what sounds like has happened.If the cavity had hit the pulp/nerve-youd have been in pain then, maybe had an abcess and face swelling-but before that youd have had heat/cold sensitivity.
Did he anethetise you for this first root canal when you thought you were going for a filling?you shouldnt have had pain or felt tooth sensitivity during the procedure if you were properly numbed.
so then he sent you to an endonist who put you on antibiotics and cleaned/filed the roots.Its normal to have the tooth filed/cleaned and the meds put in up to 5 times before they crown a tooth.
I need to make this point-if your tooth is still sensitve-its not dead-theres still some nerve function for it to have both pain and sensitivy-especially intermittantly and for so long-root canaled teeth are dead-not sensitive.Im thinking maybe you have curved roots, that havent been filed properly or cleaned properly or maybe even and extra root that they havent gotten to.Technically it should have showed up on xray, but ive heard of worse dental mistakes.
All that dentist/rootcanal talk aside-i should say, i do not think rootcanal is good, im against it.
I would try some of the natural food/herb cleansing remedies, i left a link in one of my other posts for the cure tooth decay site, it has a lot of dietry and supplement info, diet plays a major part in tooth health also for helping with pain/inflamation etc.
Try some of those first, it may help with the tooth up top too you said was playing up.
As far as dentists go-if you want to go that way and continue with trying to save the tooth via rootcanal-see someone else-because that type of pain from a 'dead' tooth is just not right.
Personally because its a back molar id have it removed.If it was a front tooth or one visible when smiling etc i may try save it.From what ive found the negatives of rootcanal outweigh trying to save teeth-but the choice is yours.
Another thing is some rootcanaled teeth even when crowned done last-because the tooth is dead its stucture gets brittle and most people ive known(including me) have had rootcanaled teeth just crumble and shatter-money down the drain and a lot of angst.

Construction of a linkage map with TRAP markers and identification of QTL for four morphological traits in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). 17th International Sunflower Conference, June 8-12, 2008, Cordoba, Spain. p. 655-660. Interpretive Summary: Quantitative trait loci (QTL) are defined as chromosomal regions that can be located by their statistical association between molecular markers and a measurable trait in a segregating population. In this study, we constructed a linkage map containing 202 target region amplification polymorphism (TRAP) and 24 SSR markers from an F2 population derived from a cross between two sunflower breeding lines. We used this linkage map to map the QTL underlying four agronomically important traits including plant height, chlorophyll content, leaf shape and head shape using both F2 and F3 generations. We identified 18 QTL for these traits. One major QTL for plant height and one major QTL for chlorophyll content could explain more than 30% and 40% of the phenotypic variation, respectively. These mapped QTL will be useful for sunflower improvement.
Technical Abstract: Genetic maps have been constructed using RFLP, AFLP, RAPD and SSR markers in sunflower, and quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying agronomically important traits have been positioned on these maps. In this study, a linkage map containing 202 target region amplification polymorphism (TRAP) and 24 SSR markers was constructed in an F2 population derived from a cross between two sunflower breeding lines. This map spans a total distance of 1597.5 cM and contains 17 linkage groups, and 13 of them were aligned with the linkage groups of the published SSR map. QTL for plant height, chlorophyll content, leaf shape and head shape were identified and mapped in the F2 and F3 generations. A total of six, five, six, and one QTL were detected for plant height, chlorophyll content, leaf shape, and head shape, respectively. Among the QTL identified, two QTL for plant height and two QTL for chlorophyll content related traits were identified in both F2 and F3 generations. In addition, a QTL for plant height and a QTL for chlorophyll content explained more than 27.2% of the phenotypic variation. These QTL will be useful in molecular breeding. Each of the QTL for leaf shape and head shape had a small contribution to the phenotypic variation and was detected only in one of the two generations, suggesting a complex genetic basis for these two morphological traits. The results demonstrate the benefits of TRAP markers for genome mapping and QTL analysis.

Queens School Faces Heavy Demand on Eve of Kindergarten Deadline
Iris Rodriguez lives one block away from Learners and Leaders (Public School 305), a relatively new elementary school in Ridgewood, Queens. So, naturally, she expected her 4-year-old son would go there for kindergarten in the fall. But now, she's not so sure.
"It's very, very crowded," she said, explaining why she also submitted applications for him to three other elementary schools.
Ridgewood is one of several growing neighborhoods in Queens, along with parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan, where available kindergarten seats are scarce. A total of 3,000 incoming kindergarten students were wait-listed citywide last year, a 50 percent increase over the previous year. That number shrank by the fall, however, and only a few hundred children had to go to schools outside their zones.
City policy is to place students in their zoned elementary schools, usually within a few blocks from home. But when crowding makes that impossible, they are sent to other schools in their district, which may require more travel.
The application period for kindergarten ends on Friday.
The fact that Learners and Leaders has filled up so quickly is a symptom not only of a crowded neighborhood but also of its mission to be a different type of elementary school. Learners and Leaders is one of a couple dozen public schools in the city that go up to second or third grade and are known as early-childhood schools.
Everything at Learners and Leaders is designed specifically for younger children. The building is brightly lit and cheerful, with tiny furniture in every room. The school plans family weekend outings, movie nights and cooking classes. Teachers said they collaborate frequently. The gym teacher, for example, designed an obstacle course - including a long tunnel - for first graders who were recently studying solids and liquids.
But there's a downside. Students graduate to another school, Public School 81 Jean Paul Richter, for fourth grade. Tania Torres, the Parent-Teacher Association president for Learners and Leaders, said the parents wanted to have the school extended to fifth grade because, "as parents, we don't want our children to be transitioning so often."
The Department of Education denied that request for a simple reason: if Learners and Leaders did take the older students, it would not have enough space to meet the demand for kindergarten. The building can hold about 420 students.
A list of the city's early-childhood schools can be found by clicking on the Progress Reports for early-childhood schools. Many of them are charter schools that will eventually grow to include higher grades.

Positive Feedback ISSUE
soaring audio
SLC-A300 amplifier
as reviewed by Fown-Ming Tien, Ed Morawski, and Greg Ewing
I was thrilled when PFO Editor Dave Clark told me that I was now part of the review staff. He immediately gave me some power cords and the Soaring Audio SLC-A300 stereo amplifier to review, but that was before I found out that I would be moving within three weeks due to a job transfer. Suddenly, reviewing audio gear seemed to be just another deadline among the many rushing at me like a freight train. Fortunately, the PFO deadline was the most enjoyable of the ones I needed to meet, so I chose to attack it first. Reviewing is a dirty job, but someone's got to do it!
I first heard the Soaring Audio SLC-A300 amplifier at CES 2004. SLC stands for Signal Loss Compensator, which is supposed to provide image enhancement, smooth out the digital grit sent out by digital-to-analog converters, and increase the amplifier's dynamic range at all output levels. I felt that the amp presented movie soundtrack material in a less digital fashion, but could not be certain, as the room and associated equipment were unfamiliar.
Because the amplifier is less than 3.5 inches high, its 38-pound weight was rather surprising. The SLC-A300 features oxygen-free copper Cardas speaker connectors, an oversized transformer, Mogami internal wiring, and massive heat sinks to eliminate the use of a cooling fan. The back panel has inputs for left and right channels, an IEC input for a power cord, connections for a 12V DC remote trigger, and the speaker connectors. The front panel is rather unconventional. Two knobs on the left side control the Signal Loss Compensator feature. To the left of each knob are LEDs. The input pair indicates the signal level from the RCA inputs, one green and one red. Green signifies that a signal is present, and red comes on when the amp has clipped. The output LEDs reflect the amount of enhancement applied by the SLC. A volume knob and power switch are on the right side of the amp's front panel.
Since the amp had a gain control, I tried connecting my source directly to it, but found that I preferred the sound with my preamp in the circuit. After spending some time fiddling around with the SLC and gain controls on the amp, I discovered that the best sound was achieved with the SLC knob set at the 2 o'clock position and gain knob at 11 o'clock. Having found these settings, I discovered that the SLC-A300 was extremely quiet. I had never found the noise level of my Aragon Palladium II monoblocks to be objectionable, but in comparison to the dead silence of the SLC-A300, the Aragons were positively noisy. It is important to note that this lower noise floor was only achieved after I had adjusted the SLC-A300's settings. Prior to dialing these in, I experienced high levels of hiss at idle.
I then proceeded to do some critical listening. The first thing that became obvious was excellent imaging, an increase in midrange detail, and a forward presentation on Andrea Bocelli's Cieli di Toscana and Josh Groban's self-titled album. The excellent texture, tonality, and detail of both recordings revealed the weaknesses and strengths in the amplifier's midrange. The vibrato from both singers was simply the most detailed I had ever heard. Imaging was tight and focused, and had excellent clarity with no haze or smearing. A quick return to the Aragon amps confirmed these impressions. The SLC-A300's midrange was more forward and detailed, but added no harshness. With the Aragons, the singers seemed to take a step backward, and while their voices were not lacking in vibrato, there was less of it. I have always found the midrange of the Palladium IIs to be one of their strengths. They are supremely smooth, yet maintain excellent fullness, detail, warmth, and balance compared to other amplifiers I have heard, so I was surprised to find an amplifier that could surpass them in this respect without an increase in grain or glare. Piano notes had no hint of the iciness or hardness that less capable amps can impart.
My Palladium amplifiers are absolutely incredible when it comes to bass reproduction. They produce the most articulate, detailed, and well-controlled bass of all the amps I have owned. Looking at the SLC-A300's specifications of 100 watts at 8 ohms and 150 watts at 4 ohms, I had doubts about its ability to control bass. This is not what I consider a powerhouse of an amp, especially compared to the Palladiums, which are capable of delivering 400 wpc at 8 ohms and 1000 wpc at 1 ohm. To test my theory, I played Bela Fleck's Flight of the Cosmic Hippo, a disc that will reveal an amplifier's ability to dish out tight, clean bass. While the Soaring Audio amp performed admirably for a 100-watt amp, it fell far short of the bar set by the Aragons. Instead of the vise-like grip that I have become accustomed to, the bass sounded muddy and lacking in impact and punch. The lack of fullness, depth, and articulation resulted in a rather flat presentation. I would never expect a 100-watt stereo amplifier to be able to surpass or even match a pair of 400-watt monoblocks, but in the realm of 100-watt amplifiers, the SLC-A300's bass performance was admirable, with power reserves deep enough that even the extremely demanding cannon blasts on Seiji Ozawa's EMI recording of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture did not leave the amp gasping for breath. It failed to clip, even pumping out more than 95dB.
The SLC-A300's treble, airiness, and transparency were excellent, due to its forward nature. On the Bela Fleck disc, brushes, high hats, cymbals, and snares had an openness that I have not experienced with my amplifiers. Nevertheless, accompanying the additional airiness was a bit of extra sibilance. The "S" sounds of voices were accentuated, although not to levels that I considered objectionable. I enjoy a detailed, yet smooth treble presentation with as little sibilance and brightness as possible. With the SLC-A300, the higher trumpet notes on Miles Davis' Kind of Blue were a bit more piercing than I prefer. Of course, I am accustomed to the very smooth top end of the Aragon amps, and it is possible that spending additional time with the SLC-A300 would allow my ears to adjust to the sibilance.
My digital front end is relatively glare-free, so I did not notice whether the Signal Loss Compensator smoothed out digital grit in my system, but I did notice an extremely wide and deep soundstage. When pushed to play at high levels, the SLC-A300 remained composed, and never sounded strained or compressed. The only area in which I found myself desiring higher performance and more refinement was in the amplifier's bass reproduction, and the only area in which I found myself desiring less was in the level of sibilance. The strength of the Soaring Audio amplifier was in the wonderful midrange, which was very engaging and full. Fown-Ming Tien
Despite spending two weeks listening to it, I simply could not get a handle on the Soaring Audio SLC-A300. Although it is billed as a home theater amp, it is only a two-channel amp, so I listened to it in a music system. The oddities of this piece of equipment are many. It is only 3 inches high and 19 inches wide, but at 38 pounds, it is extremely heavy for its size. The first things I noticed were all the LEDs and knobs. These are a departure for a power amp, but they are required because of the SLC-A300's Signal Loss Compensator (SLC) circuitry. This was one of the most confusing aspects of the amplifier, and one reason that Soaring Audio includes rather extensive "quick setup" instructions in the manual.
The manual states that the SLC-A300 should be directly connected to the source. I took this to mean that this was optional, especially since this is supposed to be a HT amp, and would therefore need to be connected to a pre/processor. At any rate, I could not get it to function properly with any preamp. I first tried my E.A.R. 864, but the volume was too low. I tried a Harmon Kardon HT receiver, with the same result, then a Panasonic and a Kenwood—no luck. With every unit, the volume was extremely low, even with the SLC controls turned up to maximum. The manual states that the SLC controls should be adjusted to bring the green LEDs on almost continuously, but I was not able to do this with any preamp or receiver. I was about to give up, but decided to try hooking my Musical Fidelity Nuvista CD player directly into the amp. Low and behold, sound! I was even able to make all the adjustments called for in the manual. I cannot explain this, but I figured okay, now I can review the unit.
The SLC-A300 is rated at 100 watts into 8 ohms, and that sounded about right. The bass was strong and well defined. The soundstage and imaging were wide and also well defined. I really could define the character of the unit. I had the Xindak integrated amplifier in the house at the same time for comparison. I thought the Xindak was sterile, but the Soaring Audio was simply neutral. It did not impart anything to the music, nor did it take anything away. According to the Soaring Audio website, the SLC circuit is supposed to take out the digital "grit":
This lead me to wonder whether the SLC circuit only worked with DVD players, so I tried a Pioneer 525 DVD player with a music CD and heard no improvement. In my opinion, DVD players make terrible CD playback devices, and the SCL-A300 did not make me change my mind. After switching back to the Musical Fidelity CD player, I played many CDs and fiddled with the SLC controls, but again couldn't hear any difference. The SLC-A300 seemed competent, robust, and fairly enjoyable to listen to. It didn't seem to color the music in any way. It sounded fairly grain-free, but the Musical Fidelity Nuvista has always sounded that way, so I'm not sure the SLC-A300 had anything to do with it. I did miss my E.A.R. tube preamp when it wasn't in the chain, and perhaps that is why I was not moved by the amp.
I am not sure where this piece of equipment is supposed to fit in the scheme of things. I also do not understand the thinking behind including SLC circuitry on an HT amp that is going to be getting a signal that has already been processed to death. And if it doesn't work with pre/processors, what is the use of it? If you are looking for a two-channel power amp that you can run without a preamp, this might fit the bill. Ed Morawski
What is "Signal Loss Compensation"? We may never really know. The folks at Soaring Audio have patented it, so they must have disclosed the details of the circuitry, yet on their website they describe what SLC sounds like without saying anything about how it alters the signal. Given widespread audiophile paranoia, this is probably a good thing, but if it brings me closer to my favorite music I am all for it. Having recently acquired the Margules Magenta ADE-24, I am guilty of using a black box if I like what it does to my music (though when reviewing, I take the ADE-24 in and out of the system to make comparisons). I listened to the Soaring amp with and without the SLC engaged, and the effect of the circuitry was clearly audible.
I was excited about trying the Soaring Audio SLC-A300 because I am searching for an amp to drive my Magnepan 1.6QRs. These planars suck up all of the juice you can throw at them, and are quite revealing. My current Parasound 1500 amp is a decent match, but I have been looking for an amp with a little more current and a more relaxed and refined sound.
The first thing that surprised me about the SLC-A300 was the number of volume controls and LEDs on the front panel. The gain controls allow you to dial in as much Signal Loss Compensation as you want, or to remove it altogether. I found it difficult to believe that it could be entirely removed from the signal path by turning the main gain control all the way up, but that is what the Soaring folks claim. The manual provides a fairly simple procedure in which you match the amp's gain with your preamp, then dial in the amount of SLC desired. The setup recommendations matched what I heard almost exactly, though the SLC's effect on the signal was a slight distraction, as I was always wondering if I had tuned the settings properly.
One of the SLC-A300's interesting design touches is its use of thirty-two small storage caps in the power supply instead of two or four huge caps. This seems to have become a trend among amp designers. The amp also uses bi-polar transistors as opposed to MOSFETS. I used to associate bi-polar transistors with a cooler sound, but not any more. The SLC-A300 also incorporates most of the requisite audiophile features in the way of power, input, and speaker connectors, and is a fairly impressive package.
The SLC-A300 seemed fairly powerful for its 100-watt power rating. It sounded smooth and reserved driving my Maggies. The Maggie QR tweeter is fairly revealing of the high-frequency performance of the upstream electronics, and the Soaring amp never let me down in the top end. Its upper midrange was buttery smooth and grain-free. I turned off my dedicated subwoofer amp and let the Soaring amp do the heavy lifting with the Maggies, and the bottom end was clean and articulate. Even though the Maggies only go down to 40-50 Hz, you can still hear and feel what a muscle amp does for them in the bass. The SLC-A300's low bass and mid bass sounded very clean and tight.
The amp was not soft or mushy, but neither did it have razor sharp detail or punch. It was incapable of sounding harsh or bright, and there was no trace of edginess or grain at any time. The SLC circuitry seemed to smooth the sound and make everything seem rounder, darker, and more tube-like. If I had to guess, I'd say it was adding odd-order harmonics, but I doubt the explanation is that simple.
Did I mention that the amp sounded FAST? One of my favorite recordings is the Cactus Choir CD available on www.cdbaby.com. The Soaring amp revealed all of the Choir's Eagles-meets-Beach Boys harmonies with all of the detail and image layering that is in this great recording. I had never heard it sound more musical or real. Percussion sounds really floated in space. Does the SLC manipulate phase? If it does, I like the effect. It's very non-fatiguing.
Soaring Audio states that the amp "allows you to hear deeper into the rest of your audio system. You will hear things on your favorite CDs and DVDs that have remained hidden for years. It is like hearing a piece for the first time." While I didn't hear things that were buried for years, I did enjoy certain favorite recordings, and they did sound more present and in-the-room than they did with other amps that I have recently heard.
The Soaring SLC-A300 is a fine amplifier with a unique feature. At $3400, it has a lot of competition, but if you look carefully at its features, specs, design, and parts quality, it appears to be priced very fairly. I might have found a match for my Maggies. Greg Ewing

Finally finished Zelda's gloves!!!
Woohoo! Although, they took me THREE hours... and I accidently sewed through the tip of my finger while trying to unjam that stupid spandex from the machine. Ouch... BUT! At least this means my Spirit!Zelda is officially 50% done and I still have 6 months before Animazement. I'm actually ahead of schedule for once. O_o
Next up on my to-do list is either pattern out the bodice, shawl, or work on her crown. And I need to figure out how to do her belt. I know I'm going to use the blue/pink foam from Lowes for the pieces, but I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about the actual waistband/belt. I'm thinking it would be better not to use elastic.

Ex-County Judge Dolores Briones, businessman Sonny Garcia sentenced in corruption cases
EL PASO, Texas - Two more pawns have fallen from an in-depth federal government investigation - a former county judge and an el paso businessman are heading to jail.
Businessman Ruben "Sonny" Garcia was sentenced to four years in jail and $1.1 million in restitution. Ex-County Judge Dolores Briones was sentenced to 30 months in jail and $36,000 in restitution.
Briones' Commissioners Court hired LKG, run by Garcia, to evaluate how the Border Children's Mental Health Collaboration used grant money.
The FBI said Garcia and Madrid billed the county for more than $500,000 dollars worth of work that was never done.
When asked by ABC-7 Friday outside the courthouse if she had any apologies to offer the community, Briones nodded her head but did not say anything.
In late July 2012, some El Pasoans received a letter in their email stating Briones took thousands of dollars in bribes because of her battle with breast cancer.
"In the ensuing aftermath of aggressive treatment, she encountered fog and gaps in concentration and cognition, experiencing lapses in judgment and struggling to process information. And emotionally, at times she found herself in deep dark places brought on by depression," states the letter. It comes in an email from a woman named Yolie Flores. Briones did not return ABC-7's phone calls or emails in late July seeking comment on the email.
In it, the friend asked for funds for Briones to pay back to the government for accepting bribes.
The feds said Briones cheated taxpayers of up to $30,000, when she accepted bribes to help LKG land a county contract to evaluate the Border Children's Mental Health Collaborative, a program that helped children get mental help without having to go to residential treatment centers. Briones in December pleaded guilty to embezzlement and conspiracy.
Federal document show Briones, in 2006, accepted twelve payments totaling $24,000 in exchange for her help steering more than half a million dollars in federal grant money to LKG enterprises.
Like the other defendants who've pleaded guilty, she has been ordered to report to a probation officer until she's sentenced, plus post bond, surrender her passport and not travel outside Texas or New Mexico without permission.
The letter states Briones at that time, faced financial insecurity because of her battle with cancer. "All of this contributed to planting doubt in her mind about her ability to provide for herself in the future. These were private, secret concerns. But essentially, she felt pretty beat up and intimidated. As a consequence, she made choices she may not have otherwise made under normal circumstances."
According to ABC-7 archives, Briones was cancer-free in 2005, about a year before she took money under the table.
The letter also asked for character reference letters and a consulting job with a pay cap so Briones could get the maximum unemployment benefits. It also states Briones 'championed' the cause for the collaberative and implies she took the bribes to keep the program running. "In her attempt and haste to secure the program and get it off the ground, she made poor choices. What she did was wrong. Had she been in a clearer state of mind with her former capability to thoroughly think things through, she would have made other decisions consistent with her life-long record of service. She takes full responsibility for this horrible mistake and suffers deep remorse for her part in this," the letter states.
The friend who reportedly wrote the letter, Yolie Flores, did not return calls or emails to ABC-7 in late July seeking comment. Flores is listed as the Chief Executive Officer of Communities for Teaching Excellence, an education advocacy group based in Los Angeles.

A family man begins to question the ethics of his job as a drone pilot.
A Las Vegas-based fighter pilot turned drone pilot fights the Taliban by remote control for 12 hours a day, then goes home to the suburbs and feuds with his wife and kids for the other 12. But the pilot is starting to question the mission. Is he creating more terrorists than he's killing? Is he fighting a war without end.

Vice President Joe Biden cast his ballot for himself in Delaware Tuesday morning shortly after polls in the state opened in the state, but maybe not for the last time.
"Is this the last time you will vote for yourself?" reporters asked the vice president when he was finished. Grinning, he replied, "No, I don't think so."
Biden encouraged voters to stand in line as long as necessary to cast their ballots, adding, "Oh, I'm feeling pretty good," about his and President Barack Obama's chances today.
The full pool report from the LA Times' Michael Memoli is below:
Voters are voting in Delaware, and VPOTUS is now among them.
Pool assembled at Alexis I. duPont High School (Home of the Tigers) in Greenville, Delaware, VP's polling place. It's a different polling place than where he voted in 2008, a change brought about because of redistricting, pool was told.
VPOTUS arrived at 7:04 a.m., and entered the school holding the hand of granddaughter, Natalie (of Casper the Ghost fame from the stump speech). Dr. Jill Biden, Atty. Gen. Beau Biden and Hallie Biden accompanied. VP wearing overcoat and blue tie with white diagonal stripes.
VP wished good morning to the pool. Gregory F. Lavelle, the Republican nominee for state Senate, was out front of the school greeting voters and also said hello to the VP. Beau walked over to shake his hand.
Pool then moved via side entrance into the voting room, which looks like it is usually a band room and has trophies lining shelves around the room. About three dozen voters, possibly more, had arrived and were waiting in line ahead of the VP and his family.
As he waited, the VP chatted with a woman in line ahead of him and also shook hands with an older gentleman behind and the occasional passerby.
At one point the VP looked over to the pool and pointed at the trophies: "Best band in the state!" he said. Said inaugural parade too.
"Sorry you had to wait in line," a poll worker said to VP as he drew nearer to the registration table. "Oh, stop!" he responded. Woman in front said, "I offered him my spot!"
After an 11-minute wait, he signed in and then waited for a turn at the booth.
"I hope you all voted at home," he said to the pool.
There were three voting booths; VP used the middle one. "Now voting, Joe Biden," announced the worker manning his booth. He was in no longer than 20 seconds.
After emerging he walked back to his family, still waiting in line. He leaned down to his granddaughter and said something to the effect of, don't forget to vote for me. "I'm not supposed to be campaigning" in here, he joked.
Pool then went outside for the departure. VP emerged shortly after, family in tow. He walked toward the pen.
"Hey, guys. Thanks for coming to Delaware. Now y'all voted, right?" Pooler indicated no. "We've got to get you home, man."
Pool asked VP if he was nostalgic at all, 40 years after he first voted for himself for Senate.
"I tell you what, you know, every time I do it — this is the eighth time that I've run statewide in the state of Delaware. It's always a kick, it really is, to see people out here. I hope everybody exercises their right to vote. It's a great honor. And people who are standing in line in a lot of places, I encourage you to stand in line as long as you have to."
Any prediction?
"Oh, I'm feeling pretty good."
Is this the last time you will vote for yourself?
"No, I don't think so," he said with a grin.
VP then shook a few more hands and got in the motorcade. Cars rolled out at 7:23 a.m.
Pool returning to our hotel.
Here is the order on the ballot, with the Democratic column first, from left to right:
President and Vice President
U.S. Senator
Rep. In Congress
Lt. Governor
Insurance Commissioner
State Senator – District 4
State Rep – District 12
Clerk of the Peace
County Executive
President of the County Council
VP's name listed as "Joe Biden."

Last year Turner warned that alongside the options of working longer, saving more and raising taxes, there was a fourth: muddling through. The divisive debate over the weekend suggests that muddling through is top of the agenda. This would be a tragedy. Of all the legacy issues for Labour's third term, pensions offer the greatest promise. Forty years after the state pension was introduced in 1908, pensioners were still collecting their "Lord [Lloyd] George". Politicians who sort out pensions get remembered.
We are a wealthy country. Pensioners are a large and growing section of our population. Unless pensioners are going to live in penury, we will have to transfer a growing part of our national wealth to them. The cost is primarily determined by the how well off, or poor, we want pensioners to be. Most people want the answer to be "better off". Once we've made this choice, the cost over time won't vary much, whether the burden falls mainly on state or private pensions. But how you pay for it will determine the politics of the new pension system. And it will be politics, not economics, that will sustain or undermine it.
Burden the future taxpayer too much and the taxpayer will revolt. Leave too many people facing a means-tested retirement and they will stop saving rather than see the fruits of their efforts clawed backed by a future chancellor. They won't thank us for forcing them to save, either. And if we keep a system that is biased to men, 50% of the population will have little stake in it.
But reward saving and people will support a system that works for them; with real security, they may well work longer, save more or pay more tax. Urge an employer contribution into every employee's salary and the costs can be fairly shared. Turner's report should be read as much for how he has stepped through this minefield as for the costs.
It seems his commission will advocate a better first-tier pension, sufficient to lift pensioners above basic means-testing. Equally available to men and women, this is the minimum to make saving - voluntary or compulsory - worthwhile. Increased savings depend on a decent first tier; they are not an alternative to it. Almost everyone has come to the same conclusion. Debate the details of Turner's prescription, but do not doubt the basic cure.
Labour shouldn't be too sensitive about implied criticism of our policies. The new consensus is much more a profound rejection of the policies backed by the Tories since 1981 and wrongly but enthusiastically supported by the financial services industry. Targeted means-tested benefits and ad hoc universal payments were the pragmatic response to the deep poverty we inherited. But we shouldn't confuse defending our record with our policies for the future.
A better state pension will determine whether new reforms will be profound. Guard against "muddle through" changes (such as offering women equal rights to the diminishing state pension, but only in the future when it's worth a pittance). And remember the politics. The NHS survives because people believe it is fair and, compared with the alternatives, works for them. A pensions system will stand or fall by the same test.

Police search for missing elderly Putnam Valley man
Police are asking the public for its assistance in finding an elderly Putnam Valley man who authorities say suffers from dementia and Alzheimer's.
Ely Semidey, 78, walked away from a parked vehicle in the Bronx on Wednesday. New York City Police was contacted by family members who notified the Putnam Sheriff's Department in Carmel.
Chief Investigator Gerald Schramek said after receiving the complaint, his department sent a "missing vulnerable adult alert message" to all police agencies throughout New York State as well as contacting the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services Missing Persons Clearinghouse.
Schramek said the Sheriff's Department was also working closely with Semidey's family.
The missing man is described as a white male who is bald with brown eyes, standing 5-feet tall and weighing 170 pounds. He was last seen wearing a blue collared shirt, blue jeans and black shoes. Schramek said Semidey may be in need of medication.
Anyone knowing Semidey's whereabouts is asked to call their nearest police department or the Sheriff's Department at 225-8060.

Over the next few pages we show a range of test shots. On this page the full size image at the minimum and maximum ISO settings have been reduced to let you see the full image, and a series of full resolution crops have taken from original images at a range of ISO settings to show the overall image quality. The pictures were taken outdoors in overcst daylight.
Here's the full frame at 80 ISO.
At 80 ISO the image is nice and clean with no noise.
Still no noise at 100 ISO.
There is a little noise in the darker areas at 200 ISO, but it is well controlled.
Much the same result at 400 ISO.
More noise at 800 ISO, but colour reproduction remains unaffected and there is still good detail.
Detail is fading at 1600 ISO, but the image is still printable, which is impressive for a 14MP camera.

I don't mean to question your facts as you've obviously used it, but are you absolutely positive that the body is all-metal? I only ask as when I had a look at this camera recently, I was reasonably sure that it was plastic. It really did feel like plastic, look like plastic close-up and when I subsequently checked specs online with Canon's own blurbs, other ixus' had metal body mentioned in the specs, but notably not so for this camera.
Can you say for certain that it's metal?
Also, is a review for the stunningly gorgeous new ixus 100 IS due soon?
@Carl - I can't speak for the 980 IS but I have my 960 IS right here, and that's definitely metal-bodied. It would imagine the 980 is too, since it's been something of an IXUS trait over the years, hasn't it??
Carl - Yes, the body is definitely metal, Aluminium as far as I can tell. I tested it with a multimeter and it conducts electricity, but it is not magnetic. Science!
I'm expecting an IXUS 100 to arrive any day now, but in the meantime I've got the new PowerShot SX200 IS, which is looking very nice. Review coming next week.
Wow! Tested it with a multimeter! Now there's certainty for you! Many thanks for the confirmation of that and for the news of the Ixus 100. Strange really that up until the I'd clapped eyes on the 100, I thought the 980IS was sexy as hell and my favourite-looking Ixus so far; then the 100IS comes out, is the polar opposite of the 980 - slim & svelt versus curvy & 'fullsome', and to be honest I think it is nothing short of beautiful, a genuine piece of handheld metallic sculpture that I'm hoping takes great photos's to boot.
Keep up the good work, it's appreciated.
Cliff, Interesting review. I debated about getting a entry level DSLR or the 980. Portability + quality meant the 980 won as I like having a good camera that's always on hand. The only real design flaw I have found is it's one touch replay button sometimes gets bumped, in the bag, on leading to unintended battery drain.
@ Carl Abudephane, get a girlfriend man. :)
@ Ohmz, Ha!! Thanks for the heads-up! Just re-read my post and yep, it screams 'get a girlfriend/life'! Got the girlfriend, so obviously ...!
Does this do geo tagging of photos?
ChristianMonk3y - No.
Hi Cliff.
After your positive comments I decided to order a Lumix dmc fx35 from an internet website. However, one week later the company have informed me they are out of stock of that specific model! Very frustrating. This has therefore given me the chance to rethink my options. I can pick up a Canon IXUS 980 for around £80 more than the Panasonic Lumix I am interested in. Would this be a better choice for the extra money? Bearing in mind I'm just looking for a simple,compact point and shoot camera that takes top quality images?
Kind regards
They're 'out of stock' because the FX40 is out now :) which I'm *guessing* will be just as good as this Canon.
Okay i've been on Amazon all morning and am looking at purchasing either the IXUS 100, Lumix FX35 (as there are very few reviews of the FX40 + the lens on the 35 is supposed to be superb) or the slightly chunkier IXUS 980 (i am slightly put off by it's dimensions as I am looking for an alterantive to my superzoom)
Any suggestions on that little mix?
It's just not wide enough - again Canon! I'd love to have this camera if it's range started at equiv 28mm - 25mm, but having 36mm is a joke for this day and age. This is why I'm probably going to get the Ixus 870IS.

I've created a very basic Non Resident CCW chart created on
'97 MS Word.
For some reason, I am not able to load it as a document to a thread.
If anyone would like to have a copy of it, please email me at:
and place "CCW chart" in the subject box.
If you would, please double check my work and send me the results of any errors, as well as any recommendations.
Remember, this is a chart of non resident CCWs.
Consequently, the states of Florida, West Virginia, Michigan, South Carolina and New Hampshire might cause some confusion to some.
IANAL, so do not take this chart at face value without verifying the information for yourself.
The purpose of the chart is a one look guide to determining have and needs for CCW in various states, outside of home state reciprocity and recognition.
Thanks so much for the work you did to produce this chart. It makes it really easy to track, and to figure out a strategy for the best non-res CCWs to get to complement my state.
Thanks again - it's great!

It has been an interesting summer to say the least and with fall upon us the time for football has arrived. UC football in particular has made their annual trek to Harrison for their Higher Ground rite of preparation, only to come back and find out the President of their beloved university, Dr. Gregory Williams, has resigned and the finger pointing has ensued. But it doesn't matter to them and you can credit coach Butch Jones for that.
Oh he cares; and they care about what it will mean when the permanent successor has been named but in football terms it has the value of Enron stock on the practice field. This is football; Butch Jones football and the focus is on the field, in the classroom and in the community. Not that the resignation doesn't fit in all of these categories because it does. It doesn't fit from the lens the team looks through. Neither did Brian Kelly leaving or Mike Thomas heading to Illinois.
Butch Jones is all about football, specifically UC football. He is a leader, a follower, a father figure and more. If it has something to do with UC football, his staff and/or players he knows. He has settled the faithful who were on the ledge about losing Coach Kelly to Notre Dame and now his name is rarely mentioned by the Bearcat followers anymore. That's because Coach Jones respect for Kelly and his forward moving vision makes a great recipe for success. It's not about bashing his predecessor, friend and mentor but thanking him. It's not about resting on last years success but building on it; and it's not about the vacant presidency because he doesn't select them.
Coach Jones keeps his vision between the lines, the classroom and in the community where the players live. His job is to shape young men while trying to win games and titles. When they leave the university he'll be judged by what they become as men, fathers and alumni. What they give back and what they contribute to society. I firmly believe he cares; I know he wants what's best and we all know he wants UC to be a major player in college football.
So with the shocking resignation of President Williams, the finger pointing and successor talk will build into a ground swell of rumors the size of Nippert Stadium. But rumors can't tackle, attend class or certainly do good in the community. But players can, especially players who can put it all in perspective. I think Bearcats under the influence of Coach Butch Jones will do that; focus on football, academics and the community. Rest assured if they don't rumors of their departure will surely get in line with all the other rumors that have preceded them. The bottom line is this is about UC football and Coach Jones will make sure it stays that way.
That's the way I see it, sitting in The Box Seat.

HELMAND PROVINCE, Afghanistan - Kareem Khan, the deputy district governor of Khan Neshin, and U.S. Marines with Civil Affairs Team 4, Kilo Detachment, Regimental Combat Team 5, traveled to several areas throughout Khan Neshin to survey sites for potential construction projects, May 19, 2012.
"The sites we went to go see are around little population centers," said Capt. Trevor S. Forbes, the civil affairs team leader and a native of Abilene, Texas. "In general, most of the infrastructure requirements for these local villages revolve around their ability to water and irrigate their fields. They're an agricultural society, so that's the number one concern for them."
Forbes and his team visited two different work sites, discussing five possible projects with the deputy district governor that ranged from a clinic to a hydroelectric power system for nearby homes.
"[We saw] issues like culverts under roads, foot bridges to get over canals," said Forbes. "A whole host of issues that revolve around providing water to their fields and maintaining transportation requirements."
As the team moved from one site to another, they met with local elders and discussed the most pressing issues for their villages. .
"All these areas are run by these elders," said Forbes. "They make the decisions, they're the number one leader for their local area."
Once elders have decided on which projects would benefit their village the most, Forbes and the deputy district governor bring this information and their recommendations back to the district governor, Shah Mahmood.
Mahmood carefully weighs his options to ensure the projects he chooses will provide the most utility to his people, said Forbes. Though the governor has the final say, he understands the importance of deliberating with district elders when deciding on these projects.
"It empowers him, it legitimizes him in the eyes of the locals," said Forbes. "They see him making the decisions, he has control, rather than just the Marines out there building stuff."
The civil affairs team works with the district governor and his staff to aid in the continued development of critical infrastructure in Khan Neshin and, ultimately, to improve the quality of life for people in the district.
"Providing the people better canals to water crops and other things needed for subsistence creates infrastructure," said Staff Sgt. Robert Miranda, a Tucson, Ariz. native and the Civil Affairs Tea 4 chief. It helps empower the local government, by showing them Marines aren't just doing everything, the Afghan government is taking the lead.
As coalition forces across southern Helmand shift to an advisory role, the mission in Afghanistan remains the same: aid the Afghan government and security forces as they push toward a stronger, more independent nation.
"That's our main mission here," said Forbes. "Legitimizing the government of Afghanistan and training up Afghan National Security Forces so that when we're gone they can take over and stabilize Afghanistan."
Editor's Note: Civil Affairs Team 4 is currently in support of 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion is currently assigned to Regimental Combat Team 5, 1st Marine Division (Forward), which works in partnership with the Afghan National Security Forces and the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to conduct counterinsurgency operations. The Unit is dedicated to securing the Afghan people, defeating insurgent forces and enabling ANSF assumption of security responsibilities within its area of operations in order to support the expansion of stability, development and legitimate governance.

I just tried to take another look at this video and found it to be a 30 second masterpiece. As soon as I noticed that 30 seconds was mentioned, I was curious because I was pretty certain that the video I had seen was longer. You know, the one that I said had mention of girlfriends in it??
Well I don't know how it happened, but when I first tried to view the video I was directed to the following critic's review. Be sure to select the subtitles option (in the lower right corner of the player window) in order to see the mention of the comparison to his girlfriends:
YouTube - BMW 5 series GT review (530d)
YouTube - BMW 5 series GT review (530d)
That explains quite a bit. I was thinking that either:
1)We had watched 2 different videos
2)Someone was using some really effective hallucinogens.

Fair Labor Association: Apple's Foxconn Plants Not So Bad
Tiffany Kaiser
February 16, 2012 11:45 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: digitaltrends.com)
FLA president said other factories in China are much worse, and that Apple's Foxconn plants are "first-class"
The New York Times
released a report
on the poor treatment of Apple's suppliers' workers, weeks of Apple bashing ensued. But a new study from the Fair Labor Association (FLA) takes the opposite stance, saying that workers at factories like Foxconn are not being pushed to their limits -- they're just bored.
Auret van Heerden, president of the Fair Labor Association, is currently investigating the conditions of Apple's suppliers' factories in China after
Apple recently volunteered for FLA inspection
. Van Heerden recently visited one of Apple's main suppliers, Foxconn Technology Group, and found that the working conditions there were better than many other factories in China such as garment factories.
"The facilities are first-class; the physical conditions are way, way above average of the norm," said van Heerden. "I was very surprised when I walked onto the floor at Foxconn, how tranquil it is compared with a garment factory. So the problems are not the intensity and burnout and pressure-cooker environment you have in a garment factory. It's more a function of monotony, of boredom, of alienation perhaps."
Van Heerden explained that many of the workers come from distant rural areas away from their families, and are thrown into an industrial setting that they're not used to with people that they don't know. With this kind of boredom, alienation and homesickness, the young workers require emotional support, and the factories were not aware that this was the case. Van Heerden said that this emotional distress is what led to the suicides at Foxconn, not employees being overworked.
Van Heerden also sided with Apple in the respect that the company decided to join the FLA, which subjects the company to intense monitoring.
"Apple didn't need to join the FLA," said van Heerden. "The FLA system is very tough. It involves unannounced visits, complete access, public reporting. If Apple wanted to take the easy way out, there were a whole host of options available to them. The fact that
they joined the FLA
shows they were really serious about raising their game."
Last month,
The New York Times
published a report detailing the harsh conditions that Apple's suppliers' workers must endure. The article listed problems like long hours, exhaustion, lengthy overtime, unsafe working environments (a collection of aluminum dust from polishing iPad cases led to
two explosions in two separate Foxconn plants
due to poor ventilation), underage employment and crowded living conditions as some of the violations to Apple's supplier code of conduct. Despite violations to this code, which have been brought to Apple's attention repeatedly on an annual basis since 2007,
The New York Times
wondered why Apple wasn't doing anything to improve it.
Apple CEO Tim Cook fired back about the claims
that Apple doesn't care about its supplier's employees overseas. He sent an email to Apple employees stating that the company cares about each and every worker, and that he was outraged by the accusations which stated otherwise.
"As a company and as individuals, we are defined by our values," said Cook. "Unfortunately some people are questioning Apple's values today, and I'd like to address this with you directly. We care about every worker in our worldwide supply chain. Any accident is deeply troubling, and any issue with working conditions is cause for concern. Any suggestion that we don't care is patently false and offensive to us. As you know better than anyone, accusations like these are contrary to our values. It's not who we are."
About 30 FLA employees will be spending the next three weeks at Chinese Foxconn factories in Shenzhen and Chengdu to interview 35,000 workers. Each Apple Foxconn worker will be given iPads to complete a survey, which asks them the following series of questions: how were they hired, were they paid a fee, what are the conditions of their dorms/food, were their complaints acted upon, what is their emotional well being, and were they offered/did they sign any contracts and did they understand them.
After collecting this information, the FLA will create a full report of their findings. The report will be available in early March 2012.
Foxconn will not be the only supplier investigated by the FLA. Asian suppliers like Quanta Computer Inc., Wintek Corp. and Pegatron Corp. will be placed under the microscope as well at a later date.

A great man and great advocate for the working poor in our state. I had the opportunity to hear him speak at a function many years ago when I was more personally involved in politics and was totally overwhelmed by him. Big guy, for sure, with a big voice and big presence. North Carolina politics will miss this guy regardless what side of the aisle he sat on. Here is a link by John Frank at the NewsObserver that I thought hit the nail and did like the article you linked here as well: http://www.newsobserver.com/2014/03/06/3680168/state-sen-martin-nesbitt-dies.html
I respect your post here about Nesbitt. BlueNC.com, our "sister blog site" took the dark road with this using Nesbitt's death as a means to trash republicans with a post by their owner saying he couldn't think of a republican that, if he/she died, would get the kind of outpouring as Nesbitt did. This, coming from someone that continues to trash republicans for being full of hate and being mean spirited. Lovely. Thank you Gary for how you handle these kinds of things and knowing that it isn't the time or situation to further some political agenda.
Isn't it strange when we run into someone who wants something like this for the right reason. Someone who doesn't just do things our of hate for capitalism, or because he hates big business, is really rare on this side of the political isle. The Democrats are so full now of capitalism haters that their motives arent usually this pure. Refreshing.

" Brand: Fcuk / Type: Bronzer / Texture: Gel / Tan / What it does: Tans, Bronzes, "
I recieved this product in an FCUK gift set several years ago. I initially thought that this product would not be great as I wasn't sure what their skincare products where like - so I left it unopened for about 12 months, then eventually decided to try it.
French Connection are more widely known for their clothing and accessories on the high street; but in the last several years Boots have also been stocking FCUK's cosmetic and skincare products, which tend to be contained in gift sets as well as sold individually. I believe this product individually retails at £5
~Product and packaging~
Tan your hide is a wash off bronzing gel and is ideal to slap on if there is a sudden sunny spell and you want to get your legs out! The gel is dark brown in colour, which allows you to see where you are applying and ensure that the coverage is even. The gel has quite a light silky consistency and smells quite fresh - it doesn't have that biscuity smell that comes with some developing fake tanners, which is a bonus.
The product is 150ml in quantity and is contained in light pink bottle with a pump dispenser. So depending on where on the body you use it, it could last for months and months - as a little goes a long way. Luckily it has a 24 month shelf life once opened.
~Using the product~
The gel is easy to pump out into your hand and wipe on your limbs, on my legs I tend to use 2 pumps for each leg to give a thin even coverage of colour. When using this I do not use body moisturiser as this product is to be used on clean dry skin, and this gel is quite moisturising. When it's applied to dry skin it is easy to blend and get an even coverage of colour. The colour is immediate and is medium bronze in colour. I have fairly light skin and I find one application is enough for a natural bronzed colouring, it does not look orange or fake.
Once applied, it takes about 10 minutes to fully dry. Once dry, skin is left moisturised, the colour it is long wearing and does not transfer onto clothing.
This product has the advantage over the long lasting, developing tanners in that, if this one appears streaky or patchy it can be washed off. However, I did spill some water down my leg quite soon after application before it was dry and it left a streak which I had to blend in. I tend to use this if I know it's not going to rain or that I'm not going to get wet!
The gel is easily washed off in the shower with soap and water.
This is reasonably priced tanning gel. I was pleasantly suprised that this delivers the results and is easy to use. Personally I use this on days when I'm sporadically getting my legs out, for days in which I will have my legs out for several consecutive days, I use a more permanent self-tan. When I eventually run out I would definately get again!
I brought this as a cheap trial product on a vist to superdrug,i like trying out fake tan as im very faired skinned,most tans look far to dark onme though so often they are unsuitable.The trial bottle i used looks exactly like the full size version except its smaller and in a pump action bottle,i paid£1.25 for it and i got 30ml of product.
Its described as a gel that will give you a golden shimmer and will wash off with water
When i squeezed some out onto my hand a huge brown splodge came out,far to much,it looked exactly like brown paint so i really didnt think i was going to like it.On the plus side it had a nice smell and as i slowly began to rub it in,it did infact look ok.
It wasnt dark or patchy and it sunk in easily,being already coloured it was easy to see what i had tanned and what i hadnt so i got a more realistic effect,i was a little didapointed it was more like a makeup washing off rather than a tan but i did end up becoming quite a fan,it seems now though its getting hard to get hold of
Just want to say how HOT this product is, i have used this ever since it came out and it really is the most simple fake tan to use i have ever came across......shame i have run out of it ....again.I used to always buy it from boots but i can't seem to get it anymore (and it was a bargain @ £5 a bottle) i have even e-mailed fcuk to see if i can buy it from them, (waiting on reply)Very very good product! like gold dust to me!
100ml / Tan your hide and start glowing with a subtle golden shimmer / This instant gel tan lasts until you wash it off /

Removing excess body hair is crucial preparation for bathing-suit season, when you can only enter the ocean if the dolphins think you're one of their own. Suit up with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $19 for 1 Brazilian wax or 2 bikini waxes (up to a $55 value)

Divine Wax & Skin
The experienced wax technicians at Divine Wax & Skin believe that a Brazilian wax should evoke minimal discomfort and take no more than 10 minutes. It starts with the wax. Not trusting domestic strip waxes that can pull the skin, the staff members use professional-grade hard wax from Belgium, which is designed to grip each hair shaft without sticking to the skin. They apply the wax with fresh new sticks each time and never reuse material—like a good comedian or a terrible schoolteacher. The technicians also educate clients on care and maintenance to help skin stay smooth for up to three weeks. Apart from its signature waxes, the staff glamorizes bodies with Norvell airbrush tans and dresses up down-unders with vajazzling services.
