Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/4/2014 (1168 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MINTO -- If Red River College ever looks to amend its journalism program, it might want to add "tour a goat farm" to the curriculum.
Barely two minutes in, my tour of the Oak Island Acres Goat Dairy near Minto found me in a tug-of-war with a goat trying to eat my reporter's notebook.
"They love paper, so watch out," warned owner Diane Rourke, adding she's lost several notebooks to her goats. (The old saw that goats will eat just about anything is true.)
Not five minutes later, another goat had leaned over the gate and was nibbling on my notebook again. A short time later, yet another goat was caught chewing on the pages -- ready to swallow everything I'd written, as it were. The lesson for journalists could be like a fumble drill in football: Keep notebook securely gripped while goats try various subterfuge to take it away.
Who knew goats are this cute?
Diane and David Rourke run Manitoba's only commercial-size goat dairy. They have 500 head of goats, plus their kids (goat kids, not their own; the Rourkes have four grown children). Diane runs the goat farm, and David operates their 5,500-acre grain farm.
The advantage for Diane is goats are much smaller than cows. Cows get up to 362 kilograms. Goats weigh in at 45 to 68 kilograms. "I can work with these animals," she said.
Her goats are a bunch of comedians. They always want attention and love being petted. They are curious about everything and show no fear when exploring.
Dairy cows are dour by comparison. "Cows are more standoffish. Goats are very personable. The ones we named, they know their names," she said, like Cookie, Biscuit, Dinosaur and Little Red.
The Rourke family bought the goat farm four years ago from previous owners in éle-des-Chênes, south of Winnipeg. Minto is down Highway 10, south of Brandon. The Rourkes wanted to add alfalfa to their crop rotation -- alfalfa is good for the soil, fixing it with nitrogen -- but needed a market for the alfalfa. "So we looked for a ruminant business" to make use of the alfalfa, Diane said. They already had a very open, well-lit building to convert for the goats.
Ile-des-Chenes means Oak Island in French, and that was the brand name -- Oak Island Acres Goat Dairy -- previous owners marketed under, so the Rourkes kept it. They also retained the customers. The Rourkes are the sole supplier of goat milk for Safeway and Sobeys stores across Western Canada, except in British Columbia, where another dairy shares the market.
They sell to several organic food stores, as well. The milk is shipped to Notre Dame Creamery to be pasteurized and bottled before hitting store shelves. They also make goat cheese, processed at the cheese-making facility at the University of Manitoba's dairy science department.
Goat dairies are regarded as something out of developing countries, but their market in Canada is milk for people with low lactose tolerance. Goat milk has 13 per cent less lactose. Its fat particles are smaller and the membrane on those particles is thinner, so it's easier to digest.
While goats are playful, they're also very trainable. They usher quietly into the milking parlour twice a day without a fuss. Food is provided in a trough in front of them, while two suction-cupped tubes draw milk from their teats. They provide up to 3.5 litres each per day. "They're very quiet when they come in. They just get busy and eat," Diane said.
Another reason the goats are so friendly is they are handled on a daily basis and get to live out their lives. A doe can produce milk for 10 years. The barn is open and spacious with lots of natural light, and with access to outdoor paddocks.
There are some major tasks unique to goats. Their hooves have to be trimmed twice a year.
The operation for 500 goats takes three or four people about five days. If their hooves aren't trimmed, they become lame. The horns are often trimmed, too.
It means early mornings. The goats are milked at 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily.
They dairy uses no antibiotics, hormones or growth enhancers. The goat diet is alfalfa and barley. The majority of the family's herd is a Swiss breed called Saanen.

Strange but true
Bat-Eating Giant Bat
Thought to be a modern pterosaur
If you have
seen something
flying at night, not
like a bird but too big
to be a bat, please contact
Jonathan Whitcomb
to report
details about your sighting.
By Jonathan David Whitcomb
Do Ropens, Extant Pterosaurs, Eat Bats?
"One of the flashes took off from a big tree overhanging the river and made a kind of flashing coma turn. Many flashes were parallel to the river. . . . there were many
fish . . . Prime hunting grounds for fish-
eating birds. Only these things fish at night
with bioluminescence." (page 59 of "Live
Pterosaurs in America
," nonfiction)
creature was huge
. . . In the distance I perceived an object in the sky. At this point it was rather indistinct and wondering what it might be I watched it as it approached. . . . Within a minute or so it had reached our position and was about 250 or 300 feet above us . . . It did not appear to be covered with feathers but had a leathery texture. Soon after it passed us it flew over a more brightly lit sports area which highlighted even more the leathery appearance also bringing more detail to view. . . ."
Extinction of Pterosaurs
"the idea that dinosaurs and pterosaurs became extinct many millions of years ago is not "science" but an assumption. No evidence proves universal extinctions, but ample eyewitness evidence supports the concept that some supposedly "ancient" creatures still live, including pterosaurs."
Copyright 2009 Jonathan Whitcomb
Flying Fox Fruit Bat
"Flying Foxes sleep hanging upside down during daylight hours, sometimes on branches crowded with dozens of [other fruit bats] chattering at each other.
. . . In some areas of Northern Australia, fruit bats . . . [eat] tons of fruit from orchards." But these bats are unlike the giant flying creatures that many report.
Almost all of the researchers who have studied these accounts for years believe that these creatures are live pterosaurs. Most of the eyewitness accounts include a description of a long tail; some include a structure they have seen at the end of the tail: like a Rhamphorhynchoid tail flange. Believe what you will, investigations continue.
Nocturnal Pterosaurs Alive
These giant nocturnal flying creatures are sometimes observed where bats are common. See Chapter Seven of the book
Live Pterosaurs in America
: "The Bat Connection."

are ugly is gonna get kicked in the goddamn fruitstand.
Consider you short, skinny, jean short wearing asses on notice, fucksticks. If you attempt to compare me to some skank-ass sorority bitch from some Florida school and tell me that I should aspire to be like her, you better fucking listen close for the footsteps approaching. I'm stealthy like a ninja and I'm gonna go America all over your Penthouse-reading, stripper-loving, misogynistic ass.
And by the way- there's probably a reason why you think that girls whose bodies resemble those of prepubescent boys are sexy. Think about it, cocksucker.
If you don't like girls who are smart, funny, well-dressed, pretty, booze-loving, ND football enthusiasts like the girls that I knew at ND because they don't whore themselves out like a FSU cowgirl, then fuck you.
And believe me, I was there too. For every smokin' hot Tommy Z or Dan O'Leary (to throw back to my era) there were about 500 skinny little geeks who would rather sit around playing Playstation and jerking each other off than talk to a real, live girl. So fuck OFF.

Gael Garcia Bernal Is AnOtherMan
Just because.
We do have a few Gael Garcia Bernal films to look forward to this year. The King, in which he stars as a Mexican-American looking for his father, and The Science of Sleep in which he plays insecure young man who lives in his dreams as much as in his real life attempts to establish a connection with his new neighbor.
More images of Gael Garcia Bernal from AnOtherMan, after the jump.

By Gwladys Fouche
NAERBOE, Norway (Reuters) - A workshop that seeks to educate asylum-seekers in Norway about Western attitudes to sex and sexual assault will appeal to European neighbors struggling to cope with a wave of refugees, but not everyone who attends the course is a fan.
Sitting with his arms crossed in a classroom with 21 other male Syrian asylum seekers, Issam Alhlabi is wondering why he has been compelled to attend.
"I know all this already from back home," the 52-year-old teacher from Aleppo told Reuters.
"Syria is like Norway ... In every country you have backward people with low education."
The ultimate aim of the course is to discuss - and discourage - rape in the context of a Scandinavian society that is more sexually liberal than back home.
But for at least a few of the attendees, it exposes implied preconceptions about the sexual mores of those in the class, not to mention their views on violent crimes like rape.
"It is unexpectedly interesting: that most people think we did not experience such things, because we are outsiders, foreigners," commercial airline pilot Muaz, 26, told Reuters.
"We go through them every single day in our country. I have two sisters and they could be harassed walking anywhere in the world," said Muaz, who declined to give his last name. Continued...

It has since been put on hold indefinitely due to market research results and game engine instability. Later the game was cancelled and replaced with Dungeon Lords MMXII."

Cruise lines lure new generation with extreme sports, adventure
By Marina Lopes
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Cruise ships are hosting everything from Broadway shows to skydiving, as companies focus on luring in millennials seeking thrilling and immersive experiences, industry experts said on Thursday.
Incidents like the sinking of the Costa Concordia and the breakdown of the Carnival Splendor have done little to deter people from taking cruises, industry data shows.
Sixteen new cruise ships will be launched in 2014 and passenger numbers will reach 21.7 million this year, up 400,000 from 2013, according to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), which represents companies around the globe.
Millennials, people born from the 1980s to the early 2000s, are driving that growth and to keep them coming, companies are extending port stays and adding exotic locales like Thailand and Fiji to their itineraries.
"We are really trying to cater to that generation," said Jim Berra, chief marketing officer of Carnival Cruise Lines and CLIA's marketing chair.
Extending excursions, he said, is one way of attracting a consumer looking for a more immersive experience.
Azamara Club Cruises launched "AzAmazing Evenings", complementary late-night excursions that allow sports lovers to watch water-jousting in France and cultural seekers to sample local wine and dance in Cyprus.
Companies are also investing in thrills aboard their cruises, such as skydiving, zip lines and observation spheres that tower over the new ships. Continued...

Once in a while some pop culture phenomenon comes along that doesn't just reflect the name gestalt of its day, but actually influences it. This was the case with the glossy nighttime soaps of the late 70s and early 80s–most particularly Dynasty—which were all about wealth and greed, ambition, melodrama, campy catfights –and humungous shoulder pads.
The writers on these shows were quite ingenious in the way they came up with names that reflected perfectly those values and vices. Male names that were short, sleek, and powerful. Sophisticated, boyish women's names like Arliss that were a complete reversal of the previous decades' unisex nicknamish names like Jodie and Jamie. Elegant surname names such as Blake Carrington.
Probably the most influential was the name of Blake's ex-wife, that evil viper, Alexis. Despite the character's villainy, her name took off, and was instrumental in the success of other Alexi: Alexandra, Alexa, Alex et al. In the year before Dynasty debuted in 1982, there were scarcely 1500 girls given that name across the country; by 1999, it had reached #3 on the list, with the birth of 19,000 baby Alexises.
The boys' and surname names for girls trends were definitely given a big boost by these shows. Consider these female characters:
AFTON – Dallas
ARLISS –Dallas
FALLON – Dynasty
JORDAN—Falcon Crest (Jordan did not reach the girls' Top 1000 until 1978, a few year's after this show debuted, it was #135 and would rise much higher)
KIRBY — Dynasty
LANE — Flamingo Road
PAIGE – Knots Landing
SAMMY JO — Dynasty
And then there were those clipped one-syllable boy names, whose impact is still felt:
BLAIR — Paper Dolls
BLAKE – Dynasty
CHASE –Falcon Crest
COLE — Falcon Crest
LANCE — Falcon Crest
MILES—The Colbys
PIERCE — Knots Landing
Here are a few other girls' names that were probably helped along by these melodramas:
And some that weren't:

Its all those little things that people don't think about that I worries me. What's the benefit of keeping them around? I mean, I can commit to saying "we'll remove a project and keep it offline for a year if someone complains we'll give it to them". I guess I'm just putting my foot down on this since almost all the support for "keep everything around forever" has come from people that don't have to deal with the consequences of that decision.

I got stuck driving to midtown Atlanta this weekend, to a childrens hospital. I hate that place (the city), and really didn't want to go. But I'm glad I did.
I drove my mom and my GF to see a friends kid. We get to the covered parking area (all 6 floors, I believe), and I pull in. I get to the second floor and its all dark and creepy. I hear a car rumbling and I follow a car to the area. Seconds go by and this car speeds off from the area. I see why. 3 young black toughs in a parked POS '60's car, giving folks the eye. I had stopped, then noticed them notice me. As they did so and looked at each other, I slid my para out of its holster at the ready. One of them got out of the car and started walking my way. I hit the electric door button and rolled my window to about quarter down. He also noticed this as I kept an eye on him and his buddies. He slowly walked in front of my vehicle to get to another car. He opens the door, grabs something and walks back. I know it wasn't a gun, because I would have noticed that. He gets back in the car saying something to his buds and they slowly pull out of the parking area. As they descended the level, I pulled into the parking space. My GF just looked at me. She NOW knows what could have happened, and why I carry. Thats when I got nervous and scared. If that would have happened during the situation, it may have resulted into a different scenario.
Whats really bad, what if I wasn't there and it was just my mom and GF ?.....

The 41-pupil class in the meeting room behind the sub-county office was lively, even if it was a handful of students asking all the questions. When he was not replying to questions himself, the teacher turned to his pupils for answers.
"How often do you de-worm these children?" the teacher asked. "What do you do if you find body lice on the children?"
This is no ordinary class. Here, the 41 teachers from four schools, in Olwelai parish in Katine sub-county, are attending a teacher-training course. The trainer is Edward Egau, the health inspector for Soroti district, in which Katine falls. The subject is hygiene and sanitation.
Under its initiative to strengthen the link between schools and communities, Amref is training teachers so that they in turn train their pupils in hygiene and sanitation issues. The children should religiously learn to wash their hands at critical times, to bathe regularly, and to cut their nails and hair short.
The children also learn practical activities such as constructing the "tippy tap", which allows a latrine user to wash their hands without touching the water can. The hope is that these pupils will be Katine's "change agents", by transferring best practices from school to home. That way, diseases like diarrhoea and dysentery will be reduced in the community.
It is an ambitious mission, and the training of teachers appears timely. The trainer asks his class how they would handle a pupil who has lice in his/her hair, one teacher suggests the children should be advised to use deodorants. The class does not seem to agree on how often their pupils should de-worm.
"What if some pupils refuse to use the latrine?" one teacher asks.
"Behaviour change is gradual; you cannot achieve it overnight," the trainer answers. "You have to continue talking about the benefits of personal hygiene. And you are lucky you are going to be dealing with children who can easily change their behaviour."
However, even if younger children can be more receptive to new ideas, there are some limitations that may make progress difficult. Samuel Omoding, 36, teacher at Ochuloi primary school, is ready to pass on knowledge from the training to his pupils, but does not expect it to be easy.
"It may be hard, because some of the children don't have pit latrines at home," Omoding says. "So it will take time for such pupils to get used to the idea of pit latrines and hand-washing facilities."
Omoding has a point. Initial assessments by Amref suggest that less than half of the households in Katine have access to a latrine, the only imaginable form of toilet in rural areas. In fact, in Olwelai parish where Omoding's school is located, latrine coverage is only 24 per cent. The danger in these statistics is that people without access to a latrine are most likely to use the bushes, raising the risk of water contamination and disease.
Charles Oyuu, 25, from Kadinya-Katine primary school, says his school does not have facilities for pupils to wash their hands after visiting the latrine. Water itself is a problem, since the school does not have a borehole. It relies on a well, one and a half kilometres away, which gets contaminated with faeces in the rainy season.
Last year, Amref gave the school a water harvester but villagers desperate for water broke the tank during holidays. In such cases, expecting teachers to encourage and enforce a strict hygiene code may be asking too much. Yet Oyuu remains positive.
"The washing facilities are not there, but now we have attended this workshop, we have been given that provision to improvise washing facilities. I think it will help us a lot," he says.
Such an attitude is what both the Katine project and district health educator Egau hope for from teachers working amid constraints. "We want to encourage these appropriate technologies and we want Katine to be the model for the entire district," Egau says.

PWG Failure to Communicate - October 27th 2012
(It kinda goes without saying, but BOLA spoilers are abundant here!)
Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's Failure to Communicate Takes Place October 27, 2012!
By Silverback, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Staff Writer
Pope Valley, CA - Coming out of the 2012 Battle of Los Angeles there was a totally new hierarchy of power in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (
). After all, World Champion "Mr. Wrestling" Kevin Steen was defeated in the opening round of the tournament by Ricochet in a non-title match, who in turn lost in the semi-final round to "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin. Unfortunately for Elgin, he was ultimately bested by the 2012 Battle of Los Angeles winner, the "Panama City Playboy," Adam Cole. Immediately after winning this year's tournament, Cole made his intentions of winning the Pro Wresting Guerrilla World Championship title abundantly clear. However, Cole also made it clear that he would be winning the World Championship on his own terms, on his own timeline.
Rather than writing any more about it, we will let the 2012 Battle of Los Angeles winner Adam Cole speak for himself:
Along with Adam Cole's refusal to accept his title shot or even appear at Failure to Communicate, World Tag Team Champions Player Uno and Stupefied, the Super Smash Brothers, have a previous engagement and will be unable to appear on October 27. The champs will be back in action at Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's final event of the year in December.
Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's Failure to Communicate takes place Saturday, October 27, 2012, at 8:00PM at American Legion Post #308. American Legion Post #308 is located at 7338 Canby Ave., Reseda, CA 91335. Front Row tickets are $35, and General Admission tickets are $25. Tickets for Failure to Communicate will go on sale Thursday, September 20, at 8:00PM PDT.
Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Championship Title Three-Way Match
"Mr. Wrestling" Kevin Steen (Champion) vs. "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin vs. Ricochet
-- With Adam Cole taking himself out of the picture at Failure to Communicate, the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Board of Directors were forced to look elsewhere for Kevin Steen's next challenger. After the first round of the 2012 Battle of Los Angeles, it was very easy to peg Ricochet as the number one contender for the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Championship. But with Ricochet's elimination from the tournament, that also puts Michael Elgin's name into the number one contender conversation. Does the man who directly beat the World Champion receive the title shot, or does the man who beat the man who beat the man get named top contender? Rather than attempt to unravel this convoluted web, the Board decided to give both Michael Elgin and Ricochet a chance to dethrone "Mr. Wrestling" Kevin Steen on October 27.
As if having to worry about facing two other world-class competitors, whichever man leaves Failure to Communicate as Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Champion will also be forced to confront (and endure the mind games of) the 2012 Battle of Los Angeles winner, the "Panama City Playboy" Adam Cole. Will the challenge waiting on the horizon unnerve the competitors, or will they be able to remain focused on the task at hand and devote all of their concentration to winning the World Championship?
Tag Team Match
Eddie Edwards & Roderick Strong vs. The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson)
-- After the Super Smash Brothers were crowned the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Tag Team Champions at Death to All But Metal, Player Uno and Stupefied put the titles on the line against Future Shock (Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly) and the former champions, The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson), in one of the most talked-about matches of the year, a three-way ladder match for the titles at Threemendous III. Since Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's ninth anniversary event in July, the majority of the focus within the company has been on singles matches, due entirely to the 2012 Battle of Los Angeles. That is not the say that the World Tag Team Championship is any less important; on the contrary, the tag titles have been the source of much discussion, mainly due to the lack of a clear set of number one contenders.
The Young Bucks, two men who are defined by their enormous success as tag team wrestlers, immediately began angling for a shot at the world titles. The Jacksons claimed that because their match with Super Smash Brothers at Threemendous III was a three-way match, it was not a true rematch, and therefore they deserved another chance to dethrone the new champions. The Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Board of Directors were unconvinced, and agreed that while impressive, the Bucks' previous tag team achievements do not necessarily warrant unlimited title shots. Therefore, like all other tag teams in this post-Death to All But Metal world, the Bucks will have to prove their worth.
Two men familiar with putting in work and proving themselves are Roderick Strong and Eddie Edwards. After both were eliminated in the quarter-final round of the 2012 Battle of Los Angeles, the pair, having previously teamed together in Pro Wrestling NOAH, decided to reunite and try their luck at the World Tag Team Championship titles. Roderick is a multiple-time Tag Team Champion in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, and while Eddie Edwards has not reached the top of the mountain in PWG, his success elsewhere makes him a very serious threat for anyone unlucky enough to be standing across the ring from him.
Edwards and Strong know that they're starting off near the bottom of the tag team food chain, but a win over the former champions would certainly propel them up the ladder. However, The Young Bucks are not known as the most dominant tag team Pro Wrestling Guerrilla has ever seen because they're push overs. Sure, they can talk the talk, but they can walk the walk, as well. Have the Bucks lost a step, along with losing the titles, or was their defeats at the hands of the Super Smash Brothers just momentary set backs?
Singles Grudge Match
Brian Cage vs. Willie Mack
-- When Brian Cage challenged "Mr. Wrestling" Kevin Steen for the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Championship, he had no one to blame but himself (well, ostensibly Kevin Steen, too) for coming up short. When Willie Mack challenged Steen for the title at Threemendous III, Willie Mack could not only blame himself (and ostensibly Kevin Steen), but Brian Cage, as well. After Senior Official Rick Knox was incapacitated during Willie and Steen's match, Cage hit the ring and decked both champion and challenger alike. While it is unknown how much of an effect this had on the outcome of the match, Cage's interference undoubtedly put an Asterix next to Willie Mack's first-ever Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Championship title shot.
Fast forward to the 2012 Battle of Los Angeles, where Brian Cage once again interjected himself into Kevin Steen's match, though this time the interference backfired, with Cage finding himself on the receiving end of a package piledriver. To most rational men, this would be the end of things. You tried to jump a guy, but he got the better things and dropped you on your head. However, Cage was unsatisfied and continued to run his mouth by not only calling Steen a coward for refusing to accept Cage's challenge, but Willie Mack as well, naming him an unworthy challenger to the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Championship.
Having seen and heard enough, Willie Mack approached the Board of Directors and asked that he be granted a match with Brian Cage. Not a number one contender match, not even a number two contender match, but a match where Willie Mack can get his hands on Brian Cage, and kick his cheating ass. The Board, always happy to see a grudge match take place (typically because it results in a lot of spilled, and subsequently purchased, beer), obliged, and therefore on October 27 at Failure to Communicate, Brian Cage will take on Willie Mack, one-on-one!
Singles Match

In search of soft, natural waves
I understand that a lot of the CG methods really help 3s and 4s. But, as a 2, I'm questioning them.
What's the point of trying to make our waves as curly as possible? Sure, if you like it, that's great -- go for it! I like the way curly hair looks just fine.
The problem is that I'm so tired of fighting the weird mix of curls that is my hair, trying to make everything curly. Some pieces are nearly straight, while others are almost 3s. Often, the strongest curls deflate within a few hours anyway. Instead of trying to make them all 3s, why not go for a happy medium?
My hair is super soft. I like how soft my hair is. When I do all the curl junk, it's not. Breaking the casts helps to an extent, but it's never as soft as my natural hair.
Like most wavies, I fight frizz, and I think this is my real battle. Co-washing has helped a lot, as has getting a shower filter. I use Hair One, and lately I've been using mousse (no cones or parabens). My hair has been acting fairly decent, especially now that the summer humidity has passed. I use low heat only sometimes, and use a heat protectant when I do.
Anyone else out there going for soft, natural waves instead of curls? What do you use? What do you find helps?
You definitely should do what's best for you and your hair!!!! My hair is 2a and I have no misconceptions that it's waves and will never be "curly". I'm trying to just accept what they are and not what they'll never be. I tried both the strict and mod-cg method for quite some time and I finally got frustrated with all of it and gave up on making my hair wavy for 7 months. Now it's grown out a lot and I missed my waves so I'm working on them again but this time I'm using sulfates and 'cones in my shampoo and conditioner. I just got annoyed and stressed trying to find CG approved products. If it works for some, that is awesome but don't try to do what isn't right for you! Good luck!
I don't have particularly soft hair, and it's curly, but I do get waves on my canopy when the dew point is very low, and I like the softer look a lot! When it's very dry it's easier for me to experiment with curl shapes, and I've been trying a more "wavy" look lately. People keep commenting on how much my hair has grown, but it's really just not as spirally as usual.
Your post caught my attention because I've recently been using a product called Miss Jessie's Pillow Soft Curls, and the softening is incredible. Seriously, my hands don't recognize the feel of my own hair when this stuff is in it. Also, it can give me hair that's closer to waves than curls, if I rake it through my hair while stretching it out. When I sleep in it, packed in a sleep cap, I have long wavy hair in the morning! This cream might be just the kind of thing you're looking for. (You can send for free samples on Miss Jessie's website.) It seems kind of expensive but the tube is HUGE and you'd probably need only a little to perk up waves and stop frizz.
Another product that's amazingly versatile is Ouidad Climate Control gel. Some people use it when they straighten their hair, so it may be able to keep your waves from curling up on you. If they poof, you can wet your hair a little and the gel reactivates.
Also, maybe just use leave-in conditioner but don't add any creams, mousses, or gels. I think most stylers can "encourage" curl (at least they seem to with my hair), so maybe just conditioner will leave your hair free to be wavy.:cat:
I was reading about that Pillow Soft Curls. I know I've seen it at Target. I'm not sure I want to add another cone, which it said that it also had.
I don't really have an objection to being curly in itself, I'm just tired of trying to make the straight pieces match the curlier ones. I think it might be easier to just let the curlier ones soften a little, and blend into the straighter ones. My hair is shoulder-length, so not that long, and I think if I let it grow a bit, it'd develop into big ringlets.
What about flax seed gel? Since you can make it, you can customize it however you like.
My hair is a 2b/3a mix, but I like soft, flowy hair rather than hold and definition. I've been experimenting with conditioner only styling, and so far I really like it. Basically, all I do is wash my hair, leave some conditioner in, comb it through, and that's it. It's so simple, and I've been loving the results.
I also ordered a sample of Pillow Soft Curls, along with a sample of Baby Buttercreme. It's nice that Miss Jessie's lets you send for free samples like that.
Let us know how you like them! Your hair in your avatar is just beautiful. It looks extremely shiny and the color is gorgeous.
Thank you. It's actually lighter now, sort of strawberry blonde, but all the color is artificial. I'm premature grey.
I got the sample for the Pillow Soft Curls in the mail, and it was very greasy. It did a fairly good job, though. I think it would be better on someone with coarser or drier hair than mine.
Since we wavies don't get a lot of attention, I think I'm going to start a tumblr for wavy hair. Probably less photos and more guides and stuff.
Can I ask what coloring you use? I'm covering grays myself, but I don't want to lose my copper red. A lot of colorings I've tried leave my grays blonde or pinkish, before they wash out completely. 10 Volume peroxide helps the color stay a lot longer, but it's hard to keep it out of my non-gray hair, but it darkens my hair for a couple of week, no matter what color I use.
I wish I could help you more with product recommendations. :sad8: Even though I have Type 3 hair, the products that work best for me from CurlMart are often recommendations for Type 4 curls.
One thing I've noticed from reading posts here is that a lot of wavies find some Jessicurl products are perfect for their hair. Almost all of these products contain flax seed, which, I think boosts curls. I've used a lot of Jessicurl products (the "Rich & Radiant choices), and they are very light, and they don't seem to be greasy.
Light & Luminous Collection - 8 oz.
Usually L'Oreal Paris Excellence, because it seems to last longer on the gray. Sometimes I go with Feria if I want to use a brighter color. My hair growing up was strawberry blonde, but it darkened some in my college years to maybe a light copper brown. I'm finding the lighter colors are easier to blend into the grays when it grows out. My gray hair is actually bright silver, so they really show up.
I think that tone was the reddish brown, but not totally sure.
Roswenthe, recently I tried a new product and I immediately thought of you!
The product is 4Naturals Spring Back Custard. It gives amazing, even definition and great hold, but it's not sticky or flaky.
-Just thought I'd let you know.;)
Aw, thank you! I looked it up on Amazon. Has a very short ingredients list. I like that...
So here's my hair with KCCC, scrunched and diffused. It's still barely damp, so I haven't scrunched out the crunch yet, but the difference in all my curls is quite obvious.
I'm going to start photo tracking all my experiments and posting them on my Twitter and the wavy hair group on Facebook.
Roswenthe, Your hair looks beautiful! I can see it's being sneaky and it's really trying to curl up, but the KCCC should keep it stretched and in waves.
After seeing this pic, I am so curious to see what Spring Back would do in your hair! I love to experiment and I am my own guinea pig. My four year old daughter is "on" to me, so she hardly ever lets me use her as a test subject anymore.:toothy3: You have such huge spirals! So pretty.
I know the "look" of not-quite-dry KCCC, so I suspect your hair is going to appear curlier when it's fully dry, but it will still be "wavy". It's extremely defined and bouncy...your hair definitely likes the KCCC.
It does fine with KCCC, and the front was curlier, but I still don't like how it feels. Even now that it's been combed out (wide-tooth), it still feels rough and dry. Those 1c pieces dry almost straight, with a slight curve, like a used a wide-barrel curling iron on them. Half the back is straight (see pic below). In the pic, it was scrunched, but I hadn't combed it yet.
I went to Sally's and ended up getting the 4Naturals Curly Wave Serum. I looked at both, as well as the Shea Moisture Milk. Nobody has done a review on the Serum yet, not even on Amazon, and it's marked just for wavies, so I thought I'd be a guinea pig and try it out. So tomorrow I will comment on that and take pics. I did want a comparison with the KCCC, so I did this today.
I think you are right about my curls, though, and I think part of my problem is the length right now. When it gets longer, I think it will be much easier to wear curly. It's just so uneven right now. I think curl will start showing up in the back the longer it gets.
One thing I've always noticed about KCCC on my hair that I see the same on your hair is that it can make the top layers look almost "too" defined. It makes very thin clumps that wind up not blending with the lower layers. Your hair looks thick and so smooth, the last thing you need to do is dry it out.
One of the problems with my "canopy" right now, is I butchered it being into the shortest layers on my head (right before I went CG in August '11), so it doesn't have the length to spiral all the way. The more it grows the curlier and thicker it gets. Depending on where you live, though, the winter air can make hair way less springy.
When I'm visiting my mother-in-law in the mountains I have a "trick" for helping my hair not to be a straight mop of static. I add some hair gel to my cleanser when I wash, then rinse it out when you rinse the cleanser. I wore my hair short for many years, and my hair just flops in very low dew points plus cold air, to the point where it's like different hair. I can easily have straight hair just by blow-drying when my hair is short. One time when I was visiting my MIL, I got curious on my guinea-pig self and decided to try my MIL's shampoo. I'd never even seen the stuff in my life, which made me even more curious. It was called Wash & Curl. I could feel a difference right away when I was rinsing my hair. My hair started to "spring" up into shape even when it was soaked. I read the ingredients of her shampoo and it seemed as though it had hair gel ingredients in it. (PVP maybe?). Whenever I do my "cleanse" in super low dew point temperatures, I add a little hair gel, and it gives that extra little boost.
I almost bought the Wave Serum when I was at Sally's. In fact, it was what I originally planned to buy, but the SA recommended the custard. I'm going to try the Serum soon, because it might work like Pillow Soft Curls - sans DDT, hydrochloric acid and thalidomide.:laughing8:
Let me know how it works!:)
Very surprised by the 4Naturals Curly Wave Serum. It's very, very light, almost weightless, but as soon as I took the diffuser bowl off my first section, all these tiny curls jumped out! It didn't clump at all, but is very curly.
In my quest for something more natural, once it was dry, I combed it out, and I am very pleased with the result. Still didn't get any curl from that back underlayer, but it's quite cute today, and no frizz so far. It's still soft and feels like my hair, too.
I have 2a-2b hair. Co wash has definitely helped in reducing the frizz, I use garnier and herbal essences as conditioners. They soften my hair well enough. I still use sulfate shampoo, but I dilute it before I put it in my hair.
I'm working on finding a prefect leave in (natural or watered down rinse out conditioner) and perfecting the exact amount needed so my waves aren't weighed down and greasy.
I sometimes like to enhance my waves with braids and twists, but I love my flat iron too. As long as my hair is healthy, anything works for me.

"Not for me"
I like strong funny women, she is not that. Found so much of the story not believable. I returned this book half way through.
"Such potential for a great story and such a shame"
The author should have spent more time building their relationship up. The story didn't have a good indication as to why the girl would fall so hard for this guy in a matter of brief meetings, to the point of almost worship. There wasn't enough depth in the story. Also, the girl in the story was sooooo annoying! Get a backbone! Have some self respect!
I literally rolled my eyes about every half hour at how weak and pathetic the girl was in different situations.
She did a great job in every aspect.
The scenes were Trace told her to leave, to get out and they were over and Ember would follow him everywhere.
This story has great potential with the right 'tweeking' here and there. Was very disappointed to see such a good story get ruined the way it was.
"What a Surprise!!!"
It is one of the most exciting and interesting books I've listened. Surprising, romantic, emotional. Exquisite!
The plot was so complex. Many side plots and characters making the story so interesting and addictive.
My favorite scene was the one when Amber proposed :-)
Yes!!! And I almost did ;-)
I have bought this book as a romance. I was seeking a nice story with a hot hero and some bad boy actions. What I got was soooo much more. It is truly one of the best books I've listened because of all the extraordinarily balanced drama, crime, romance and action. I'm waiting for the next book from this series.
Avid reader and Audio books listener
"Love and Intrigue"
A great listen. enough to make you want to keep listening
There was a story
"Great Story"
Thought I had it figured out and then it changed--great book. Amy Rubinate does another great job as narrator.
"im not sure where this went wrong"
I have read this book 2 times and I liked it, however after listening to it be read in a breathy voice with really bad renditions of male voices I now cant imagine why I liked it. The characters are kind of ridiculous and the story line started one place and ended up someplace totally different. This did not bother me when reading this book but after listening, this kind of reminds me of one of those ideas that sounded good in theory but once you started telling others about it kind of sounded dumb instead. I keep forgetting that I dont like the narrtors voice. she makes everything sound like im listening in on a sexy phone call. And the men sound girly dumb or like hillbillys.
"Beautifully Disappointed"
I did not enjoy the narration of this book nor the story itself. The characters were contradictory and underdeveloped. While there were some semi-interesting twists and turns in the plot, at a point the twists became annoying because there were just too many. I thought Ember's obsession with Trace got annoying and happened too quickly with too little build up. I do not recommend this book at all, it was out of sheer stubbornness that I even finished it.
"Lots of interesting twists!"
I loved how well everyone's story is connected to the ultimate healing of someone overcoming their demons. I also love how each friend and family member was connected and how essential they were in revealing secrets.
I fell in love with Trace. No matter what he went through in life his morals and need to protect the innocent was solid. The fact that Trace ultimately accepts that he is not his father was my most favorite revelation.
Braving the unknown can heal old wounds.
This would be a great movie!
"second half was good"
I almost gave up on this book SO MANY times. the heroine is a doormat an she never grows a back bone an that drove me nuts. She won't leave the hero no matter what he does. luckily by the second half he treats her better
"Beautiful story"
Beautiful story capped with a fantastic performance. I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to listen to the next in series.
Having red the book previously, I was disappointed to hear parts miss out and the characters back drop were somewhat different . Kind of spoilt it a little. The narrator's voice I found to be unexpressive.
full of cliches. reads like it was written by a 12 year old girl. Its reminiscent of twilight, In that the main character thinks she's plain and uninteresting yet this "amazing" man finds her irresistible. Its a romance novel. narrator was fine.
"Enjoyable listen"
Like Twighlight meets 50 shades. Enjoyable if you like that type of thing and definitely far better narrated than the latter!

Try this website. I googled it. I couldn't find a rescue on it, but it has breeders. Sometimes breeders will put you in contact with rescues or rescue a dog themselves. Kali's breeder has taken in a few dogs that people couldn't handle. So maybe someone listed on this website will do the same. Good Luck!

The interminable haggling by regulators over the long-pending merger between America Online Inc. and Time Warner Inc. may seem like just the usual noise out of Washington. But as the Federal Trade Commission and the companies cobble together a settlement to unleash the $183 billion deal, the resulting blueprint could end up reshaping the future of the Internet industry.
The parties may not come to a final agreement until early December, but the elements of the regulatory compromise are now emerging. And they suggest hopeful news: The next generation of the Internet may not be as hypercompetitive as today's Web-access businesses, but neither will the lights go out on healthy rivalry.
MUST-DO LIST. That's because, according to industry sources, the FTC is demanding that AOL Time Warner hook up at least one independent Internet service provider (ISP) to Time Warner's high-speed cable pipes. That way, AOL, the nation's largest ISP, won't automatically dominate broadband. The FTC is also likely to require the new company to sign up two additional ISPs within 90 days. And the feds want some of those ISPs to be national-scale providers, not just smaller players that present little competitive threat. Already, Time Warner is trying to strike a deal with EarthLink, the nation's No. 2 ISP after AOL (table). And in Columbus, Ohio, Time Warner Cable is conducting a small-scale test of technology that allows it to carry multiple ISPs on its system there.
Then, to ensure that AOL Time Warner doesn't stop at just three competitors, any subsequent ISPs that may be having problems reaching agreement with the new company will be able to demand arbitration. Regulators are focusing on cable because it is more widespread than competing broadband technologies such as the telephone companies' digital subscriber lines (DSLs) and satellite.
True, the FTC's proposed provisions don't guarantee that the 7,000-ISP market of today survives intact--and may even hasten more consolidation. Indeed, unless the FTC requires AOL Time Warner to sign up at least one national, one regional, and one local ISP per market, the company may end up with just a handful of national ISPs--those with the biggest businesses, such as EarthLink, Microsoft Network, and Prodigy. "Most ISPs will never end up on Time Warner's networks," says Charles Ardai, CEO of Juno Online Services Inc., an independent ISP that is putting the finishing touches on an access agreement with Time Warner. "There are only 10 to 20 of any size." Adds Jeff Chester, executive director of the Center for Media Education: Most ISPs "would be digital toast. You might as well make room in cyberspace for 6,999 graves."
Yet the small fry, which make up the bulk of the ISP industry today, may not automatically wither on the vine. They could team up in joint ventures to capture the cable guys' attention or opt for broadband with DSL. Indeed, DSL operators may step up to the plate and vie more aggressively for these ISPs' business by undercutting cable's prices. Already, ISPs are dissatisfied with cable's terms. Typically the cable companies charge online services a big cut of their retail revenues. For instance, Time Warner Cable takes about 70% of Road Runner's subscriber fees, leaving the online service, a Time Warner unit, only 30%.
FATTER PROFITS. By contrast, DSL providers offer a more favorable wholesale pricing scheme--generally charging ISPs a flat fee for each subscriber, somewhere around $25 a month. That gives ISPs more flexibility to fatten profits, especially as phone rates head down because of relentless competition, notes Juno's Ardai. "We're not thoroughly convinced that cable would be a viable commercial option," says Stephen A. Heins, marketing director at NorthNet Internet Service in Oshkosh, Wis., an ISP with 2,500 subscribers. "There's no incentive for us to do it if it isn't profitable for us."
But regardless of how many ISPs are signed up by AOL Time Warner, Washington's goal isn't to replicate today's crazy-quilt dial-up ISP market in a broadband world. While regulators can't guarantee that tomorrow's Web access business will be as competitive as today's, they can try to ensure that AOL doesn't dominate the medium right off the bat. Ironically, through an AOL Time Warner pact, the FTC may be able to spur more competition in the high-speed Internet world than the market alone would have wrought.

The Draper 121026 VIC-115 115V Video Interface Control (VIC) allows the screen to be controlled by projector switch so that when the projector comes on, the screen descends automatically. The VIC-115 interfaces screen operation with a projector or receiver featuring a 115V switched outlet. When the VIC-115 receives a 115-volt signal from the projector or receiver, the video interface control sends power to the screen motor to lower the projection screen. When the 115-volt signal is no longer sensed, the control sends power to raise the projection screen back to its stored position. The VIC is housed in a metal box and has COM/NC/NO contacts and a 115V coil.
Connections: The VIC has the following connections:
- AC Power Cord: The VIC has a 7-1/2' heavy duty AC power cord to provide power to the module. The module should be plugged into a constant standard 115-volt AC outlet.
- 115-Volt Trigger Input: This 2-wire, 115-volt DC input receives a signal from the projector or A/V receiver when it is turned on. When the projector or receiver is turned off, the signal stops.
- High-Voltage AC Output: This 4-wire, 115 Volts AC output should be connected to the screen's motor terminals. The attached wires include:
- Green: Ground
- Blue: Motor up
- Red: Motor down
- White: Neutral
- Green: Ground
The VIC can be used with the Override Switch, permitting independent operation of the screen without the projector.
- AC Power Cord: The VIC has a 7-1/2' heavy duty AC power cord to provide power to the module. The module should be plugged into a constant standard 115-volt AC outlet.

So, the other day, Mom and Dad took us out for a walk, and there was a lot of snow on the ground, it was DEEP! We walked up this snow drift and got really excited to see all the untouched snow over the drift and took off! Mom slid down the hill with us, it was funny!! We ran around for a long time and didn't want to go back inside, but Mom and Dad's feet were about to freeze off so we had to. It was tons of fun. SNOW!!!!!!!!YAY!!!!!!! and there is only more to come!!!
This morning it started to snow! We didn't know what it was at that point of course, but when mommy got home from work, daddy and her took us the the dog park so we could run and run and run in fresh snow! It was SO COOL! Shadow kept nose diving in it and Nanook loved to run around in it! We had a blast! WE LOVE SNOW!!!!!!!! but, mommy and daddy were stupid and forgot to bring the camera out for our little adventure. But they'll get it next time!
We just has our FIRST CHRISTMAS MORNING! It was very fun! There were lots of new things for us to chew on.Mom and Dad got us some new balls to play with, and Grandma and Grandpa made us some treats, FROM SCRATCH! They taste GREAT! We can't wait until next year!

Yell fore, Tiger Woods, because you just hit–to quote the title of a certain book–a Big Miss.
This time, it comes in the form of the former No. 1 doing a Q/A with fans on his website Monday rather than meeting with the media in advance of this week's Quail Hollow Championship in Charlotte.
Here is a link to the so-called press conference.
Basically, it is Woods first reading the question and then supplying the answer. The difficult (not!) queries include:
How many practice rounds do you play before a tournament?
What do you think is the coolest trophy among the four majors? (A: Claret Jug)
Do you have a good chance of winning?
The video session lasted 14 minutes, and surprise, surprise, it included two sponsor-related questions that produced nice plugs. His public just has to know about Fuze.
Naturally, Woods' critics pounced. Geoff Shackelford wrote:
Love the minimalist hostage video and echoey (sound)…The only thing missing is Tiger holding up today's paper.
Stina Sternberg of Golf Digest did this tweet:
Downloading Tiger's video for those sleepless nights when counting sheep doesn't work.
Jason Sobel of GolfChannel.com said.
Boy, that Tiger Woods is a swell guy.
He obviously knows how overworked we in the golf media are on a week-in, week-out basis. He undoubtedly understands our difficulties in trying to ask and re-ask new, exciting interview questions in hopes of writing and rewriting new, exciting pieces about him.
(Your sarcasm detector should be beeping feverishly by now…)
And so what has Tiger done for all of the hardworking members of the press focused on his every move? He gave us the day off.
Prior to most tournaments, Woods usually meets with the media in an interview area just off the green following Wednesday's pro-am. It usually lasts 10 minutes tops.
Why couldn't he have done both the fan Q/A and his media Q/A this week? I don't think it would have been that taxing.
And it would have saved him from taking more shots from his critics.

ARCast.TV - Mark Pollack on Architecture Refactoring
Download this episode
While there are many qualities by which to judge an architecture, two technologies--dependency injection (DI) and aspect-oriented programming (AOP)--provide guidance on some of the most foundational. Not only do they influence how a system's components are designed and organized, they also determine how easily the system may evolve. In this episode, Mark Dunn and Mark Pollack discusses DI and AOP from an architectural point of view, showing how the principles promoted by DI and AOP translate to tangible architectural benefits such as loose coupling and a separation of business and technical concerns.

Jim Renacci and Bob Gibbs just voted to kill Medicare. Remember those Tea Party signs "Keep the government's hands off my Medicare"? Well Jim Renacci and Bob Gibbs are working just for you. By voting for the Paul Ryan's "Roadkill to Ruin" Plan they voted to turn Medicare over to our beloved and trusted private insurance industry and give Grandma coupons to find her own way. The problem is that these vouchers will be worth far less than the amount needed for bad insurance risks (senor citizens) to buy health care.
As for the claim of saving 6 trillion dollars - "the plan" doesn't actually do this because it gives big tax breaks costing at least 2 trillion dollars to millionaires. In fact according to the CBO, for the ten year budgetary window this Republican plan actually increases the national debt and deficits more than if Congress did nothing at all. In the second decade the deficits start to decline . What magic formula do these "fiscally responsible" congressmen use to accomplish this? By doing away with Medicare and making Grandma pay increasingly more and more for her health care - at least $6000 more annually (CBO).
By voting to eliminate Medicare while giving big tax breaks to the rich, it is perfectly clear that Bob Gibbs and Jim Renacci plan to balance the federal budget on the arthritic backs of our senior citizens.

Colleagues and Champions Remember Elliott Carter
As part of our all-day celebration of the late Elliott Carter, we asked a handful of Carter experts, colleagues and collaborators to share their memories of the man and his music.
Cellist Fred Sherry has been a close Carter collaborator since the 1960s. In addition to an illustrious and ongoing performing career, Sherry was the Artistic Director of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center from 1988 to 1992 and is currently on faculty at the Julliard School, the Mannes College of Music and the Manhattan School of Music. Carter, Mario Davidovosky, Charles Wuorinen and John Zorn have all written concertos specifically for Sherry.
As a member of the Julliard String Quartet, violist Sam Rhodes worked closely with Carter, recording all of the composer's string quartets. Currently chair of the viola department at Julliard, Rhodes has appeared with numerous ensembles including the American, Bretano and Mendelssohn String Quartets.
President of the Cleveland Institute of Music and former member of the Julliard Quartet, Joel Smirnoff is the former chair of the violin faculty at the Julliard School. In addition to his work with Carter through the Julliard Quartet, Smirnoff toured with pianist Charles Rosen as a featured performer in Carter's Piano Concerto.
Clarinetist Charles Neidich has appeared as a soloist with a wide range of esteemed ensembles, including the Minneapolis Symphony, the Royal Philharmonic and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Currently on faculty at the Julliard School, the Manhattan School, Queens College and the Mannes College of Music, Neidich worked with and recorded the music of Carter extensively over the course of the last two decades.
A former student of Carter, composer Tod Machover has written for Yo-Yo Ma, Joshua Bell and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, among others. Currently Professor of Music and Media at the MIT Media Lab, Machover was the first Director of Musical Research at the IRCAM institute.
Co-founder of the celebrated contemporary music ensemble Speculum Musicae, pianist Ursula Oppens is a longtime champion of contemporary music. Having commissioned and premiered numerous Carter works over the course of her career, Oppens celebrated the composer's 100th birthday with a series of performances featuring his complete works for piano. Her 2009 recording "Oppens Plays Carter" was nominated for a Grammy award.
Celebrated pianist and music historian Charles Rosen has performed nearly all of Carter's keyboard music, including offering the premiere performance and recording of Carter's Double Concerto for Harpsichord and Piano with Two Chamber Orchestras in 1961.
Clarinetist Virgil Blackwell was a founding member of the contemporary music ensemble Speculum Musicae and is a former member of the Steve Reich ensemble. A longtime Carter collaborator and assistant, Blackwell premiered Carter's bass clarinet solo Steep Steps, written specifically for him. He served as Executive Producer on a number of Carter's recordings with Oliver Knussen.
President and CEO of New Music USA, Ed Harsh has served as President of Meet the Composer and Director of Development of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. A composer and former student of Louis Andriessen and Martin Bresnick, he's written for ensembles including the Albany Symphony and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestras.
Founder and director of the New Julliard Ensemble as well as a co-director, with Cheryl Seltzer, of Continuum, conductor, pianist and pedagoge Joel Sachs is a longtime champion of contemporary music. Currently on faculty at the Julliard School, Sachs also directs New York City's annual Focus! Festival. His extensive biography of Henry Cowell was published this year by Oxford University Press.

Game of Thrones - Review @ PC Gamer
PC Gamer looks at Game of Thrones, resulting in a score of 58%. For fans, however, they suggest looking beyond the score if you have the patience:
Even when you 'get' it, combat feels weak and ill-thought out – bland, uninteresting, and based almost entirely around status effects. Use skill to make enemy bleed (or whatever). Use skill that does extra damage against bleeding enemies. Repeat until all the enemy's blood has gone. Other elements are simply out of step with the source material, such as glugging down health potions mid-fight and Alester's more advanced fire powers. Honestly, it's best to just switch the difficulty to Casual and focus on the story. Most regular fights become trivial, though there are still a few tough ones to handle.
Ultimately, Game of Thrones is a frustrating, ugly, low-rent RPG that's flawed in almost every way and difficult to impossible to recommend – but which fans still might enjoy more than they probably should. At the very least, it's not a lazy cash-in, just one trying its best on far too small a budget. If you can tolerate that – and yes, it's a lot to tolerate – don't necessarily run screaming from its score.

Demon War - Review @ Armchair General
Soldak sends in a new review of Din's Curse: Demon War at Armchair General, with a score of 90%:
As described above, Din's Curse is unique in that you not only have to kill a wide assortment of creatures below, but you also have to actually save the NPCs above, by providing them food, water, money, and weapons, or by physically defending them from attack, disease, and a host of other problems as they arise.
When an NPC says he's are starving, he really is starving and may die if they don't get food, or money to buy food, soon. Players can talk to an NPC, inspect the NPC's equipment, and give the NPC food from your inventory. The same can be done to provide them with money donations, or better weapons and armor, keeping them better equipped to face random monster invasions into town. If the three primary quest givers in town (apothecary, steward, and warmaster) perish, the whole town is lost, and players must continue the quest for redemption in a new town.

Like Wild Bill Hickok?
I'm sure there is logic involved but for me that would only work as a crossdraw.
This is a discussion on Strong side carry/butt foward...problems? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; i noticed in pictures of old west gun toter's some have the butt forward on their strong side carry piece. does anyone carry like that ...
i noticed in pictures of old west gun toter's some have the butt forward on their strong side carry piece. does anyone carry like that now days? any advantage to this style of carry? potential problems? thanks in advance for your insight.
Like Wild Bill Hickok?
I'm sure there is logic involved but for me that would only work as a crossdraw.
Seems like it would unnaturally twist your wrist. also might be a bit harder to control your gun in a gun grab situation.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." Thomas Jefferson
Nemo Me Impune Lacesset
"Later, it was found that the reversed holster can be more comfortable, especially when worn while sitting down, than the normal type holster. In addition, cavalry draw can be performed while sitting, as well as retaining the original off-hand crossdraw capability. For these reasons, the FBI used the cavalry draw when they were equipped with short .38 Special revolvers.
Cavalry draw is performed in three steps:
1) Rotate the wrist, placing the top of the hand toward the shooter's body.
2) Slip the hand between the body and the butt of the pistol, grasping the pistol's stocks in normal shooting grip.
3) Draw the pistol, rotating the wrist to normal orientation as the arm is brought up to shooting position.
With practice, the cavalry draw can be as fast or even faster than drawing from a normal, butt-rearward holster, due to the assistance of the body in placement of the hand on the pistol stocks."
It was for cross draw. Remember that the primary mode of travel for many of them back then was on horseback. While holding the reins in front of you a cross draw can be easier than a regular strong side draw, especially if you carry up around teh waist and not in a lower "traditional" cowboy holster.
As far as potential problems go, anyone using a cavalry draw is going to sweep their midsection when they draw the gun. The stress of a gunfight (or even a training session) could lead to an ND at this point. Putting a round through your gut certainly counts as a potential problem.

Also, some old photographs were made in such a way that they are actually mirror images (i.e what looks like left is actually right)
http://www.cycleback.com/1800s/earlyphotos.htmAs a negative shows lights as darks and darks as lights, a black backing was put behind the image to correct the contrast. The negative's mirror image could not be corrected, so all images including writing are in reverse.
The early-bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
When I carry my single actions I draw normal with my right han and cavalry draw with my left, I NEVER sweep my midsection when I draw the pistol, If a person sweeps their midsection then they are doing the draw wrong. As you lift the gun from the holster you twist the gun around and it comes out of the holster facing the normal way. If done correctly the twist is completed before the barrel leaves the holster.
The rotation should be completed BEFORE the gun clears the holster with the barrel pointed down. Then the pistol is then brought into action the same as any conventional draw. It requires practice, but I see done safely and with great speed many times each year.3) Draw the pistol, rotating the wrist to normal orientation as the arm is brought up to shooting position.
Having said that I would not recommend carry of a modern firearm butt forward unless crossdraw is the intent. I agree the it looks cool in pics of the old west, but I don't carry to be cool. I carry to protect my life and the lives of those I love. And since it's concealed, no one would see it any.
'The assailant chooses the time, location and method of attack.
Since they are unlikely to let you know ahead of time when, where and how violent they're going to be, you should always be prepared.' - matiki
Thanks for all the insight! i have to admit i did try it w/ an unloaded pistola...my first impression was that it seems to conceal better with the butt facing forward but it sure would take practice to make it a natural draw.
personally, this falls under the heading of "just because you can doesn't mean you should" ...
There are several reasons for butt forward strong side.
When the military began carrying handguns the primary weapon was the sword which was carried opposite of the strong hand, crossdraw if you will. Swords are used strong hand. If you needed to draw your handgun, sword still in hand, the handgun was drawn with the left hand, crossdraw. That gave the person the sword (primary weapon) in the strong hand and the handgun in the off hand.
Another reason many still carried butt forward/strong side such as Hickok was it's much more comfortable while sitting. Try it and you will see. Take a straight wooden chair with wooden back and arms. Use a revolver in the 5"-6" or longer barrel with a square butt. Carry it butt to the rear and sit in the chair and get out a few times. Then sit for long periods. You'll find that the butt hits the back of the chair and if it's slotted back the butt can hang up in slots making getting out of the chair quickly a real problem. Drawing is severely restricted while seated. Now carry the same gun butt forward and sit in the same chair, getting in and out several times and sitting for long periods. The butt forward doesn't hang up on the back of the chair nor get hung up as easily. In addition to not causing restriction, butt forward is easier to draw from a seated position.
As far as the Wikipedia and the FBI, that's another example of don't take what you read on Wikipedia as gospel. The entries can be made by anyone, doesn't matter if they know what they're talking about or not. In this case, who ever wrote that didn't know what they were talking about. Years ago I talked to several agents from the earlier era of the FBI about the guns they carried. No one ever mentioned cavalry draw and from the holsters they had those weren't cavalry carry style holsters. Their holsters were what later came to be called Hank Sloan style pictured below. I knew some who carried crossdraw but none who ever carried cavalry style strong side.

I'm surprised folks aren't familiar with cavalry carry, which allows for crossdraw as well.
Your description is dead on and IMHO it is more comfortable a mode of carry although with relatively small handled autoloaders it's difficylt to do. If I were carrying around Peacemakers or some other large framed revolver I'd entertain it.
Also not mentioned in posts above cavalry draw was safer as conventional butt rearward put your firearm in a state where it could be easily drawn and removed by someone other than yourself from the rear. Modern law enforcement officers carry holsters with internal protections against just this situation.
BTW there is a very good demonstration and hilarious depiction toward the down side of cavalry carry as featured in the spaghetti western 'My Name is Nobody' starring Henry Ford & Terrence Hill; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070215, which is a personal and long time favorite of mine.
Fans of westerns might not be aware of this film as it's very obscure even as it was produced by Sergio Leone and scored by the equally famous Ennio Morricone.
For those who decide to rent this go to the bar room scene where 'Nobody' (Hill) enters a contest to shoot glasses and finds himself challenged to a duel by a black hat type wanna be tough guy. The results of that fight is comedic genius, and depicts the cavalry carry method toward draw and it's downside.
