Gwyneth Paltrow's beauty secrets revealed!
Gwyneth Paltrow
Apart from being a gym bunny and health food fan - Gwyneth Paltrow's flawless skin is also down to a little help from some of her favourite British beauty products.
The 39-year-old actress has revealed how she keeps wrinkles at bay - by using British Beauty brand This Works no less!
They're already one of our fave brands but Gwyneth has her own set of This Works recommendations - including their No Wrinkles Get Started product which she credits with keeping her looking young and fresh.
Writing in her newsletter Goop, she explained: ''This Works is a British brand that mixes in natural, high-quality ingredients into all of its formulas. Their No Wrinkles Get Started is a little anti-ageing starter pack with a super moisturiser and an active anti-wrinkle serum.
This Works No Wrinkles Get Started is £25.00 and promises to keep skin looking fresh This Works Deep Calm Bath and Shower Gel is super soothing and only £15.00Get polished pins like Gwyn's with This Works Dry Leg Oil £38.00 "They also do a lavender infused relaxing bath gel that I love, an excellent oil for dry legs and a super rich moisturiser which I use.''
We're fans of their Deep Calm Bath and Shower Gel - and will soon be stocking up on their Dry Legs Oil - in our quest to have polish pins like Gwyn's!
Along with using This Works products, Gwyneth's good skin is down to some good old beauty sleep.
She previously said: ''For me, sleep is a major thing. I don't always get it, and when I don't, I look like I've been hit by a truck.''
We're sure that can't be true!
In any case we're stocking up on Gwyneth's This Work's essentials - by the looks of her peachy skin - they really do work wonders!

: appreciate any quick opinions
OK I have had scalp issues for a while, nothing new, but a newfound observation, and could use some opinions. I saw again lately, some flakes and had itching, so I did a sulfate wash, then the next day I did a Tgel with coal, extra strength stuff, putting conditioner on ends. After it dried, go figure, my head is full of that white stuff in my scalp. It's stuck to my scalp, but I just scratch a bit, and it starts coming up to the hair. Makes me think I have more white hairs than I do. So does this mean it's not dandruff, or does Tgel take a few uses for it to work or what's the deal. I could use some opinions. No itching, eh, but lots of crap in my hair! And I wouldn't think it would be build up, if I just did a sulfate wash, so now I'm more confused.

It's probably valve float.
It's probably valve float.
I never understood why people would rev to the limiter with engines that make all of their torque/power in the lower-mid range of the powerband.
this is like taking my 7mgte that make it max torque at 3.5k, max hp at 5.5k, power fall flat at 5.8k and then rev it to the stock limiter (6.75k)
only increasing wear, risking valve float and making my pistonts see incredible speed (longstroke ftl)
Well in my case, my car makes max hp at 6100rpm, and max torque at 4500rpm (says the wiki), so revving to 6500rpm puts me right back in the power when i change gears. It's a different story in my brothers jetta 4cyl, it's all bottom end power.
I just bought a GoPro HD Hero Motorsport edition, it's coming tomorrow morning I cant wait to mess around with it, expect video tomorrow night
TFriends parents bought a 2012 buick lacrosse
Shits lux, yo.
Ok Ill try and organize this properly.
For months now my Jeep has had this fuel issue, at least I think. My car has a rough idle that happens like 75% of the time. All of these problems are never fully consistent but happen frequently. My exhaust chuggs at idle, like it booms out of the tail pipe but not a back fire. When I accelerate, sometimes my car will shake and almost every single time, at the same place, from 45 to 55, my car violently shakes but if I really stomp on the pedal, it'll stop. I also smell what you smell from fireworks when it chugs at idle.
It's been really pissing me off. I've changed the fuel filter, checked the cataitlyic converter and that's not it so now I believe the fuel injectors but I really don't know.
If it's happening, try unplugging the injectors one at a time while it's running. If one doesn't change anything then there you go.
you gotta launch and shift a bit past redline for maximum respect
redline at 11k?
<--doesn't shift until 14k
Anyone ever had their car fucked with?
My mate a few doors down with a pretty nice 200SX had his wing mirror kicked off last night. He's a sound guy with no enemies so it was just some twat doing it out of spite. Kinda puts me off buying something that's gonna draw attention next. Luckily my car's down the drive but still in pretty clear view. Not the first time it's happened, the FTO just round the corner had the windscreen smashed in a few months back.
I've "fucked" with cars before. I think I've said it before (on the watevaman account), but when I went to ALMS in Baltimore we went to Wal-Mart to get some food and because all the people in Baltimore are of the black persuasion and insanely loud and annoying, I went down the row and folded everyone's mirrors in.
But I'd never do anything that would actually damage a car unless it was like a member of the KKK or something.
Same. I've let tyres down in the past, only because it was a car I recognised had cut me up a few days before
But actually damaging a car is bang out of order, you've gotta have a real decent reason to justify it... To fuck with a strangers car just because it's nice fucking boils my piss. I'd love to catch someone doing mine.
Tires shall be smoked in a balls out uturn if anyone ever throws anything at my car when im driving.
when i was a freshman these massive faygots from the one prep school were circle jerking over this mazda the one kids dad bought him
I threw an extra large soda onto the windscreen because fuck you rich person.
shit has ram air
and a fucking spoiler
come at me
What game is that ? Looks nice tbh
If only it was a game...
This however is:
I gotta pre-order it when I get money
That's also just early beta so it's gonna be looking alot better than that obviously
that game seem nice... Wish I could try it but 35$ for such a limited gameplay seem crazy
edit: Yo bradley, if you ever come to quebec let me know, we'll ride the fuck out of a road trip together because race cars
My dad and his friends would open the hood of each others cars (because back then on some old vehicles you could open the hood from the outside) and pull all the wires off the spark plugs so when they go to start the vehicle they would have to put it all back together.
On the topic of because racecar, you know any hookups on a 1G DSM sidemount? :P I'm needing one...
Same thing you do to find dead cylinders with an engine that has a distributor, only you're unplugging fuel injectors instead of spark plugs.
Da fuck
oh it's japan
Found this on Jalopnik Facebook page.
charcoal canister asploded in my car, charcoal everywhere, got canister replaced and now have inspection for 2 years.
So my TPS grenaded or one of my harness connections went sour (I honestly didn't mess with the TPS connection when I redid the harness because it looked fine, maybe should have done that now).
Gotta check it out tomorrow. For now I'm going to go kick some stuff around the shop and then pass out.
Some bitch was tailgating while texting
She made a right turn while still on the phone
I blades on my horn and she jumped and nearly a curb in daddys tahoe.
Whilst concentrating on another car and a mass of people I accidentally got in the way of another car coming down the road as I came up it (parked cars on the other side).
My little (Yaris sized) Hyundai and a jacked up Ford -F150. Oh how I appologised.
The shameee.
Fair play on the apology. Most drivers round my area just do that thing where they speed off and when you catch them up stare straight ahead, pretending they can't see you giving them the 'what the fuck?' look.
The F12 Berlinetta: Like or dislike?
I'm not sure how I feel about it. I don't really like the curved front end, and the back end reminds me of a brick. Thoughts? (Agree for like, disagree for dislike, or useful for neutral)
It's got a 6.3L V12 I love it.
I approve of this:

Macabre much? but with a Drag Me To Hell kind of a vibe so it will do more to remind you of a great horror rather than truly scare you into peeing yourself. This is True Blood's opening credits without the charm.
Lets not forget that Ryan Murphy gave us Nip Tuck. He knows how to sell fucked up sexual shenanigans and still make them look and feel kinda, um, sexy? No new TV show this year has produced a better poster, maybe not in the last year, so kudos for showing some creativity with the marketing. And then to go down the other route visit youregoingtodieinthere.com for a please don't touch me I feel far from sexy experience.
I wouldn't be surprised if everyone we saw in the Pilot (including the Harmon Family) were dead but then where would be the fun in that? Also, I'd like to be kept guessing for at least five seasons minimum please.
Long may that continue.
Was it her husband Ben? I sure hope so for her sake but wasn't he downstairs by the cooker looking to burn his hands off in a weird kind of Nightmare on Elm Street sleepwalking state?! I guess time will tell as that belly of hers grows.
If you felt sorry for her character Ruth Fisher in Six Feet Under then look away. Ryan Murphy has promised some intriguing backstory to the Harmon's housemaid Laura O'Hara and why she came to work at the house. We also might need an explanation as to why Ben Harmon sees Laura as a her younger sexier self (played by True Blood's Alexandra Breckenridge), while Vivien sees the older maid, played by Conroy. Intriguing.
Sure, not one of his shows are perfect but that's not why I love Ryan Murphy. He is forever unapologetic in his approach no matter what the subject matter and that is why I get excited for a Ryan Murphy show. Even with Glee, which is becoming a tad tiresome (saved only by Brittany's one-liners at this point), he pushes the boundaries of primetime and that has to be celebrated. This is the opposite of Glee though wasps. The is cable television. Anything goes.
She delivered the best line to the maid(s) in the Pilot when they asked her not to steal some jewellery from Vivien - "Don't Make Me Kill You Again." Twisty much? She is a batshit crazy Southern Belle who lives next door to the Harmon's and is undoubtedly going to win at the Emmys and Globes for her performance in this hot mess of a show. Guaranteed.
What I also forgot to mention were the scenes where; Dermott masturbates while crying (that's fun to watch), the flashback to the former resident who sets his family on fire because the house told him to (oh he also has brain cancer now in present day), the many homages, the baby parts in jars and ooh that twisted scene where the mean girl from school is taught a lesson in the basement by the lady/baby/monster.
I will hold back on mentioning one of my instant fave American Horror Story characters but only because she's my Hot Bitch this Friday. A whole post dedicated to her amazingness. Now go watch the show, its a whole lot of fun.

Alternative Petroleum Technology (APT) is an environmental technology company dedicated to comprehensive cost-effective solutions to environmental problems. We offer technologies and expertise to help operators of compression-ignition engines and industrial boilers meet increasingly stringent emissions requirements. We are developing new ways to help international power plant operators meet the constantly growing demand for electricity with heavier oil products that are made to burn cleanly, more efficiently and economically. Additionally, we are meeting the challenge of providing even cleaner combusting biodiesel fuels with new generations of emulsified fuels.
APT features emulsified fuels containing various percentages of water to reduce both oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) pollution created during the combustion process. This technology extends to both mobile and stationary sources:
APT is tailoring its technologies to meet the increasing demands for biodiesel in the 21st Century. For instance, we are developing biodiesel emulsions to solve the problem of increased NOx emissions from biodiesel blends, which are expected to be widely used because of federal and state low carbon fuel standards in the United States of America. We work with biodiesel producers and fuel distributors to ensure they are able to market the cleanest combusting biodiesel products.
APT is staffed by experts in analytical chemistry, mechanical engineering, combustion processes and regulatory affairs. We help customers understand specific emissions problems, develop technology packages aimed at solving them and assist with testing and implementation of solutions.

Citation: Jahoor, F., Badaloo, A., Reid, M., Forrester, T. 2005. Protein kinetic differences between children with edematous and nonedematous severe childhood undernutrition in the fed and postabsorptive states. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 82:792-800. Interpretive Summary: There are two types of malnutrition, one in which the patient retains water in their bodies (edematous malnutrition) and one in which they do not (non-edematous). Those with edematous malnutrition are sicker and are more likely to die. The reasons that cause a malnourished child to develop the edematous form of the disease instead of the non-edematous form are not clear. It was hypothesized that inability to break down protein ,which is necessary to supply 20 compounds called amino acids for maintenance of important organ systems and functions, was one factor. To test this theory we measured protein breakdown rate in children with edematous and non-edematous malnutrition. We found that both in the fed and fasted state the children with edematous malnutrition broke down protein at a slower rate compared to children with non-edematous malnutrition. These findings indicate that a slower protein breakdown response to chronic food shortage may be the reason why some children develop edematous malnutrition.
Technical Abstract: BACKGROUND: Pathogenic factors that cause a child to develop the edematous instead of the nonedematous form of severe childhood undernutrition (SCU) during food deprivation are not clear. It was hypothesized that, in edematous but not nonedematous SCU, impaired protein breakdown leading to inadequate amino acids for maintenance of important organ systems was a factor. OBJECTIVE: We measured protein kinetics in children with edematous and nonedematous SCU. DESIGN: Endogenous leucine flux, an index of whole-body protein breakdown rate, was determined in 4 groups of children with edematous or nonedematous SCU in the malnourished and recovered states. Two groups were studied in the postabsorptive state, and 2 groups were studied in the fed state. RESULTS: In the postabsorptive state, leucine flux was slower (P < 0.01) in the edematous group than in the nonedematous group in the malnourished state, but in the recovered state, it was faster (P < 0.05) in the children who previously had edematous SCU. When compared with the malnourished state value, leucine flux at recovery doubled in the group that previously had edematous SCU, but it did not change in the other group. In the fed state, leucine flux was slower (P < 0.01) in the edematous group than in the nonedematous group in the malnourished state but not in the recovered state. In the recovered state, enteral leucine extraction by splanchnic tissues trended higher in the group that previously had edematous SCU than in the nonedematous group. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate different protein breakdown responses to food deprivation between children with edematous and nonedematous SCU and inherent differences in protein metabolism when they have recovered.

High Energy Physics Seminar-Valentina Dutta-MIT-The Search for a Higgs boson Decaying to Tau Pairs with the CMS Detector
The discovery of a new boson compatible with the expectations for the Standard Model Higgs propelled LHC physics into a new era. Studying the properties and couplings of the newly discovered particle immediately became a goal of primary importance. The di-tau final state currently provides the only means of probing the coupling of the Higgs to leptons; it is also the fermionic final state with the best sensitivity for a Standard Model Higgs. This talk describes the latest results of the search for a Higgs decaying to tau pairs using all of the data recorded by the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment in 2011 and 2012. Looking beyond the Standard Model interpretation, an analysis of the data in the context of the MSSM is also presented. Finally, future prospects of the measurement are discussed.

As the House and Senate prepared to resolve differences on the new stimulus bill, Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, commented to the press: "I have consistently advocated … a package that will truly stimulate this economy, not an omnibus bill bloated with frivolous spending."
Unfortunately the fruits of her labors fail even minimal tests of fiscal prudence. If one concedes, as almost every serious economist now does, that deficit spending is essential to revive our economy, one must get the biggest bang for the buck.
Snowe, Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Arlen Specter, R-Pennsylvania, bucked their party and allowed a bill that was better than nothing to pass. Nonetheless, the actions and rhetoric of the so- called centrists worsened an already overly parsimonious and imperfectly targeted House
Of particular concern to Republicans and conservative Democrats is the possibility that many of the jobs created by the stimulus program will be "government jobs." Some Republicans will fund state governments hiring private contractors for road and bridge repair. Nonetheless, they
recoil at the thought of federal aid to states to hire more teachers or public health officers.
Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Nebraska, even tried to remove a $1.1 billion program to fund public research into what drugs are most cost-effective. Fortunately he was unsuccessful. Big drug
companies objected to the program, but it will reduce the long-term costs of entitlements, a favorite concern of many fiscal conservatives.
The centrists did succeed in inflicting major damage in other areas. With Maine facing a huge budget shortfall, Sens. Snowe and Collins imposed draconian cuts on what Paul Krugman has correctly labeled the most effective and most needed parts of the plan. In particular, aid to
state governments, which are in desperate straits, is both fast — because it prevents spending cuts rather than having to start up new projects — and effective, because it would in fact be spent; plus local governments are cutting back on essentials, so the social value of this spending would be high."
Republicans often cite as gospel truth the claim that "government does not create wealth, only the private market does." Such a sweeping assertion would have surprised Adam Smith, whose classic defense of markets included many examples of how government — and only government — can contribute to the prosperity of a market economy. In his day, the private sector had little incentive to build lighthouses but depended heavily on the warnings to mariners they provided. Even more so today a prosperous economic future requires basic research, community health services, education at all levels.
Washington Post columnist Steven Pearlstein adds that "What really irks so many Republicans is that all the stimulus money isn't being used to cut individual and business taxes, their cure-all for economic ailments, even though all the credible evidence is that tax cuts are only about half as stimulative as direct government spending."
The so-called centrist Republicans would have served a better purpose by attacking the Democrats' least effective tax ideas. Cuts in middle class taxes or the AMT may be appropriate as part of general tax reform, but they are minimally stimulative and do not belong in this package.
Frivolity, like pornography, is in the eye of the beholder. I won't defend every aspect of the original House package, but Republicans lose credibility by treating frivolity as a disease of the public sector. Subsidies to Hollywood have been a favorite whipping boy. Fair enough, but these pale in comparison to the money wasted by corporate America's own fantasy purveyors, advertisers. U.S. corporations pollute our airways with demeaning and deceptive ads that add unnecessary cost to our products, foster corporate monopoly, and undermine the "sovereign
consumer" of market myth.
Today's conservatives persist in measuring any government initiative against the ideal standard of a purely competitive economy. Firms are small, information is freely disseminated, and there are no barriers to entry. The modern corporate world hardly lives up to that standard — if it ever did.
Gone are the self-correcting markets Milton Friedman celebrated. In their stead stand powerful investment banks and manufacturers that rig the market and dump their failures on the rest of us.
Today we need John Maynard Keynes' irreverent intellectual spirit as much as a reconsideration of his economics. When the facts change, so should the views of any genuine maverick.

Vets reunite at Walker

Over 100 Walker Air Force Base veterans from across the country will be arriving in Roswell to attend the "Lest we Forget" banquet, in their honor, on Saturday. The Walker Aviation Museum is celebrating its one year anniversary in conjunction with the opening of two exhibits, "Lest We forget: Roswell Army Airfield- The Early Years" and "Peace Through Strength," as well as the 70th anniversary of the [auth] establishment of the Roswell Army Airfield, known by its later name as the Walker Air Force Base.
The event also coincided with the reunions of the 6th Bomb Wing and 40th Bomb Squadron. On Friday, men from the 6th Bomb Wing and the 40th Bomb Squadron, reminiscing about their time in service, peered into glass cases featuring memorabilia — a map of Hiroshima, a Roswell Army Flying School matchbook cover and an Enola Gay book signed by members of the crew — as part of their respective reunions at the museum.
The 6th Bomb Wing was established on Dec. 20, 1950, and activated on January 2, 1951, at the Walker AFB. It was equipped with B-29 Superfortress aircraft. The unit consisted of the 24th, 39th and 40th Bomb Squadrons.
Harry Biller, a member of the 6th Bomb Wing from 1956 to 1959, said he is amazed at the growth of Roswell that he's witnessed as he's returned through the years for reunions. Biller expressed his appreciation for the exhibit and the museum.
"The younger generation is going to appreciate it," he said.
The museum opened last fall, with the help of donations.
"This really is a grassroots museum," said Marie Talnack, a member of the Walker Aviation Museum Foundation Board.
Fundraising events also helped fund the museum. Last fall, Talnack attended the national reunion for the Air Force Missileers where she met the men from the 579th Strategic Missile Squadron who were responsible for operating and maintaining 12 Atlas missile silos around the greater Roswell area. The men helped the museum receive a grant in November 2010 from the Association of Air Force Missileers to open the exhibit, "Peace Through Strength."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|BUMP. some one on heres gotta know about the flow quantum?
what do you think of the Flow Quantum?
hello fellow shredders and shreddettes. im new to the site and need some advice on a new board. im curretly riding a Burton Love 152, large burton triads, and burton rulers(all fit perfectly together). i am 5'9" and weigh 135lbs. i love this board but the shovel tip and tail tend you make you loop out if you land in the back seat.
i am thinking of picking up a 2010 Flow- Scotty lago quantum 153. its got the same waist width as the love so size isnt an issue. im a slopestyle kind of rider (50%rails, 50%jumps) so i need something that handles park kickers but has and easy flex for jibbing. i've been told told the quantum is sick for that.
what do you guys think??
if you wanna suggest another board, im kinda picky. it must be a true twin shape. i absolutely DESPISE Ride boards and not a fan of K2 either.

Never mind found my answer.
Cable length is one of the most discussed items in RS232 world. The standard has a clear answer, the maximum cable length is 50 feet, or the cable length equal to a capacitance of 2500 pF. The latter rule is often forgotten. This means that using a cable with low capacitance allows you to span longer distances without going beyond the limitations of the standard. If for example UTP CAT-5 cable is used with a typical capacitance of 17 pF/ft, the maximum allowed cable length is 147 feet.The cable length mentioned in the standard allows maximum communication speed to occur. If speed is reduced by a factor 2 or 4, the maximum length increases dramatically. Texas Instruments has done some practical experiments years ago at different baud rates to test the maximum allowed cable lengths. Keep in mind, that the RS232 standard was originally developed for 20 kbps. By halving the maximum communication speed, the allowed cable length increases a factor ten!

Four Pirates Prospects Make Baseball America Rankings
Baseball America released their rankings for the best tools in the minor leagues last week. Four Pittsburgh Pirates prospects ended up on the lists.
At the AAA level, Alex Presley and Gorkys Hernandez were both recognized in the International League. Presley was named as having the best strike zone judgement in the league, while Hernandez was cited as having the best outfield arm in the league.
In A-ball, Robbie Grossman was named as having the best strike zone judgement in the Florida State League, which is no surprise considering the amount of walks he has taken. Jameson Taillon took three categories in the South Atlantic League, being named the best pitching prospect in the league, and being listed with the best fastball and the best breaking pitch....

The PlayStation 3 Slim is Great, But...
From our front-page news:
Where Sony's PlayStation 3 is concerned... there's one aspect that's a little interesting. To understand it better, take a look at Microsoft's Xbox 360. Since that console's launch, there have been multiple revisions made, and to my knowledge, all of them are for the better - despite price drops over the years. The PlayStation 3 didn't experience the same transformation, sadly, and as a result, the original 60GB model is still a hot commodity.
Last I saw the PS2 was still outselling the PS3 by a very wide margin. I still have to wonder how Sony could equate ~$15 in chips to be worth the potential in lost sales, considering the PS2 is such a hit exactly for it's massive, unparalleled library of games.
The Sony site claims the PS2 has over 1,800 titles, and supposedly the original Xbox has 950... So combine all of the Xbox AND the Xbox 360 games currently on the market, the PS2 still has over 200 more under its belt.
I wonder if Sony made the decision to remove backwards compatibility not just to save a few dollars off the production cost of their new console, but to also not deter from their unusually strong PS2 sales. If users can't get full backwards compatibility from the PS3, they're going to just have to buy another PS2 when theirs breaks unless they want to shelve the dozens, (Or like Rob) hundreds of games in their collection... and most users simply aren't going to want to toss all those games away.
At least the PS2 is still being sold though for those who want it. That plays PS1 games as well, so overall, Sony's solution for playing older games is still far superior to Microsoft's.
Well, I suppose they could get away with it. Backwards compatibility is such a mess with the PS3... some work 100%, some are extremely hit & miss, and others just don't work at all. But I'm sure they make a huge profit off of every new PS2 sold... this is Sony we're talking about, they wouldn't give up that revenue stream.
We still have the PS2, so we wouldn't mind buying the PS3 Slim, especially with its new price tag. Does installing linux on the PS3 make it any better? (I like linux, but I've never installed it in any of our video game consoles.)

It's no wonder that all roads lead to the fascinating and maddening metropolis of Athens. Lift your eyes 200 feet above the city to the Parthenon, its honey-colour marble columns rising from a massive limestone base, and you behold architectural perfection that has not been surpassed in 2,500 years. But, today, this shrine of classical form dominates a 21st-century boomtown. To experience Athens—Athína in Greek—fully is to understand the essence of Greece: ancient monuments surviving in a sea of cement, startling beauty amid the squalor, tradition juxtaposed with modernity. Locals depend on humour and flexibility to deal with the chaos; you should do the same. The rewards are immense.

Lobos Hit the Road for Back-to-Back Contests
Jan. 22, 2013
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - It's strictly a swimmers affair this weekend for the Lobos as the swimmers travel to Laramie, Wyo. on Friday for a meeting against the Cowgirls and then quickly turnaround and hit the road again for Greeley, Colo. where they will face the Bears. The meets are the final home events of the season for both Wyoming and Northern Colorado.
Although the drive from Laramie to Greeley is only 1 hour and 45 minutes going south, the turnaround is swift and it has given the Lobos problems before. During the 2010-2011 season, the Lobos made the same trip in reverse order. They visited Northern Colorado first and emerged victorious with a final score of 136-102, however, the very next day they dropped their contest against Wyoming 133.5-104.5.
Wyoming, always a contender in the Mountain West, will be a challenge to UNM once again. The Cowgirls are always a contender to take the MW, they came in fourth last year at the conference championships, and the team has a history of beating New Mexico. The meeting between the schools last season saw Wyoming emerge victorious with a final score of 190-110. That was the seventh straight victory over New Mexico for the Cowgirls.
The meet on Friday is the final home meet of the season for the Wyoming who currently stands at 4-1. Their lone loss of the season came at the hands of the Boise State Broncos this past Saturday by a score of 192-108. Head coach Tom Johnson returned 24 letter winners from last year's squad who came in fourth at the 2012 MW Championships. Of those 24, seven were named to the All-MW team.
The Bears of Northern Colorado may be an easier opponent. The team currently stands with a record of 1-5; the only victory coming against Colorado-Mesa 252-111. Northern Colorado has dropped contests against Air Force, Northern Arizona, Wyoming, San Jose State and Cal State-Bakersfield. The team returned 18 letter winners from last year's team. The Lobos took on the Bears last season on Oct. 27, 2011 and prevailed easily by a final score of 176-108. The meet begins at 10 a.m. MT on Saturday.
While Kunio Kono and the swimmers tackle the challenge of back-to-back meets, the divers will be in Colorado Springs, Colo. participating in the Air Force Diving Invitational.
The field this year consists of divers from MW schools past and present in: Utah, BYU, Boise State, Colorado State, Wyoming, San Diego State, UNM and host Air Force, along with divers from UCLA, Idaho and Northern Arizona.
Michole Timm and Megan Harper, the only healthy divers left on Abel Sanchez's roster will both be in attendance to represent the Cherry and Silver.
The invitational begins on Friday at 11 a.m. MT and ends on Saturday.

Hyphenated-Man (rendered on the cover in all lower case letters as hyphenated-man) is the fourth solo album by Mike Watt, and the first full-length recording he made under his own name since parting with Columbia Records in 2005. Initially released in Japan by Parabolica Records in October 2010, the album was released in the rest of the world on clenchedwrench, an independent record label newly founded by Watt. He is accompanied on the album by his band The Missingmen, guitarist Tom Watson and drummer Raul Morales.
Writing and Recording[edit]
The album is a loose concept album (Watt refers to it as his third "punk opera") of thirty short songs, all two minutes or under (most average about a minute and a half) inspired by creatures from the paintings of Hieronymous Bosch; each of the thirty song titles is derived from a nickname Watt came up with for each creature, "since I don't know three-hundred-year-old Dutch".[2] According to Watt, the album "is quite different" from his previous punk operas Contemplating the Engine Room and The Secondman's Middle Stand "in that it has no standard narrative... meaning no regular beginning-middle-end."[2] Another inspiration woven into the album's lyrics was taken from "the idea of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz kind of tripping on what men do to 'be' men."[2]
Musically, Watt was inspired to write short songs again after re-immersing himself in the back catalog of his first band, The Minutemen prior to and in the course of filming the documentary We Jam Econo. Watt had seen a parallel between the album's initial concept and The Minutemen in "how many little trips could roll up into one big one."[2]
The music to all thirty songs was written by Watt on one of Watt's late friend and Minutemen bandmate D. Boon's Fender Telecasters.[2][3] The guitar and drum tracks were recorded in three days in May 2009 during a planned break in a tour Watt undertook with the Missingmen, at Studio G in Brooklyn, New York, the studio of ex-Pere Ubu bassist Tony Maimone.[3] Watt overdubbed his vocals and bass parts thirteen months later.[4]

Newbie in need of some advice
Hi everyone :wave: I've been "lurking" on the forum for a little while and finally decided to join. I've had issues with my hair for as long as I can remember. I've always been very self-conscious about it. When I was younger I just wanted to have straight hair like everyone else. I was even made fun of growing up because my hair was curly. I used to try to straighten my hair but it's so curly it doesn't hold and is always frizzy. It literally used to take my hours to blow dry and then straighten my hair and the outcome was less than desirable. I eventually gave up on straightening it several years ago and have been wearing my hair curly ever since.
My routine is fairly easy- I shampoo and condition every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am currently using One 'n Only (sulfate free) shampoo and conditioner. I have tried everything, from the most expensive to least expensive and I have never been able to tell much of a difference in the way my hair looks. After I wash my hair I put in two pumps of the One 'n Only curl cream (my hair is very thick) and I let it dry naturally. I wash my hair at night so by the time I wake up in the morning it is 99% dry. In the morning I usually wet my hair just a little and then apply a small amount of Beyond the Zone Noodle Head cream.
Here are the problems I'm having...the hair at the top of my head is extremely frizzy (always has been) and I usually spray the top with hairspray to somewhat tame the frizz. If pull my hair up and pull some of the bottom layer down, there is a drastic difference- the top portion is very dry and looks damaged while the bottom is very healthy looking and almost silky feeling. This doesn't make sense to me because I do not color my hair or use heat on it so I cannot figure out why there is such a difference between the top layer and bottom layer. I have one side of hair that seems to grow faster and is thicker than the other, (I've been told this is normal) but on that side, it is always twice as frizzy as the other side and dryer than the other side. My hair overall has always been extremely dry. Whenever I get my hair cut they always comment on it and try to get me to try some product. I've tried them all though and nothing seems to help.
So I came here looking for some help. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong or what I could do differently? I hate having to spray hairspray and "glue down" the frizz on top and I'm so tired of my hair being so dry. I'm attaching some pictures below to give an idea as to what my hair looks like now. I've never been able to determine what hair type I am- it seems I am between a couple. Any suggestions you all might have would be greatly appreciated :smile:
Figuring out your hair properties - like porosity, density, elasticity - can help. These might guide you toward appropriate techniques/products. ... Debatably, many of us also place some value on curl typing systems, like Andre Walker's chart (1,2,3,4 / a,b,c) to determine size of curl and texture.
Some specific ingredients may or may not affect your hair dramatically. Some vary depending on climactic changes (with humidity/dew point changes). Some hair loves or hates protein in products. Sulfates and silicones have a certain affect, and so on. Balancing product when in combo is impt. Experiment.
You can peruse this site and continue gathering info (like on the things stated above, and more), and keep posting questions.
Just a gentle reminder: everything is relative. What's "dry" or "super curly" to one head of hair is normal for another. You might have to accept certain aspects of your hair. Also, frizz isn't necessarily Satan's halo. A certain amount of it often comes with the territory. Curly hair will rarely be 100% predictable or "controllable", which is half the beauty of it. Unless you chemically or thermally beat it into flattened submission, it will always have a will to do its own thing (brave little determined thing).
At times, I've had to fight against a tendency to fall into the trap of wanting "perfect" curls because it sets me up to be what folks here call a "product junkie" (My affectionate term for it is "product b--ch", because you get owned before you can bat a lash). It's an expensive, trifling little addiction that annoys lovers everywhere :D I mention this to you now just as a heads up.
Good luck!
Welcome!! :)
I'm also fairly new to the CG method... I also have frizz on top. But some things are gradually working... Like putting gel in the top of your hair when it's wet, let it dry, then scrunch it out. Or, add a nourishing oil. Experiment with products :)
Other than that, it's as Korkscrew said, you can never 100% control curly hair.
Welcome, SunStarsMoon! We're glad to have you here with us. Check out our Texture Types area to start learning more about your hair.

Book Fair plays it safe with 2010 Argentina theme
FRANKFURT (Reuters Life!) - The Frankfurt Book Fair has chosen to venture down a less controversial path in its choice of honored guest next year, picking Argentina after sparking debates with its past two nominees Turkey and China.
"For a guest of honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair, this is unusual, for we commonly deal with undiscovered literature," Juergen Boos, president of the Frankfurt Book Fair told a press conference on Thursday.
The decision to invite China as the honored guest this year has stirred much controversy because of China's human rights record, censorship and state-controlled publishing.
Last year's choice Turkey also caused a stir because of Turkey's long tradition of limiting free speech.
But next year the focus is likely to be more on literature than politics.
"In the case of Argentina, there is no lack of afficionados, lovers of Argentinian literature," Boss said.
"Argentina's place is occupied by memories even before we get to take a look at the country," he added.
Boss conjured up images of tango as well of the "violent history of the military junta" and "of course, Diego Maradona, Che Guevara, and Evita Peron."
Boss also mentioned writers such as Jorge Luis Borges and Julio Cortazar and that Argentina, the third Latin American country to theme the trade show, had a long tradition of comics. Continued...

Arizona Fall League
The AFL is starting its final week of play. The Phoenix Desert Dogs have been eliminated from the championship game and are playing out the string. Three of the A's participating in the fall league have turned in solid performances: Michael Choice, Grant Green and Ryan Ortiz.
Choice has appeared in only 17 games, but he is still tied for third in the league in homeruns with six. He is fifth in the league in OPS with a 1090 mark and is 4th in the league in SLG with a .667 mark. Choice has also done a solid job of making regular contact. After striking out 134 times in 118 games for High-A Stockton during the regular season, Choice has only 12 strike-outs (versus nine walks) in 17 games (66 at-bats) this fall.
Green has also had a strong fall. After a slow start, he has upped his OPS to an even 900 and he has four homers in 95 at-bats after homering only nine times in 530 at-bats during the regular season. Green has a .295/.352/.547 line in 23 games.
Ortiz has appeared in only 13 games, but he has been an on-base machine when he has been in the line-up. He has 13 walks and a .460 OBP. He is also batting .294 with an 813 OPS. Ortiz only has two extra-base hits this fall, however.
The A's other fall league participants haven't experienced as much success. Dusty Coleman, who is on the Desert Dogs' taxi squad, hasn't had a hit since October 8th (a span of nine games) and is batting .077 with a homer in 39 at-bats. As a taxi squad member, he is allowed to play only on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Starter Tyson Ross pitched well early on in the fall league season, but he has struggled over his last few starts. His ERA is 5.94 in seven starts (16.2 innings). Ross has a 13:5 K:BB ratio and he has allowed three homeruns. Fellow starter Murphy Smith has struggled throughout the fall league season. A late addition to the roster when the A's traded Ethan Hollingsworth, Smith has allowed at least three runs in every outing. His ERA is 13.50 and he has allowed 47 hits in 22 innings.
Reliever Anthony Capra has had a few good outings, but he has struggled for the most part. His ERA is an even 18.00 in nine innings. He has walked 13 and has allowed four homers. On the plus side, he does have nine strikeouts.
Andrew Carignan has only had two bad outings, but they were enough to inflate his ERA to 6.94 in 11.2 innings. He has struck-out 16 and has walked six. In two outings, Carignan allowed seven runs and three walks in 1.2 innings. In his other 10 innings, he allowed two runs and three walks.
The A's don't have very many players currently participating in the Venezuelan Winter League. Prospect Douglas Landaeta was recently promoted from the parallel league (which is a minor league version of the Venezuelan Winter League) and he has six hits in 20 at-bats over eight games for the Leones del Caracas. Leonardo Gil is also a member of the Leones' roster. He has only four at-bats in six games, however.
Oakland does have a number of prospects participating in the parallel league. Jonesy Zarraga is currently sixth in the league in batting with a .377 average. He is also second in the league in SLG (.705) and first in RBIs (25).
Dominican Republic
Brandon Allen is the only position player on the A's current 40-man roster who has participated in the Dominican Winter League thus far. He hasn't appeared in a game since November 2nd, however, and his DWL season could be over. Allen never got on track with the Estrellas de Oriente. He hit .143 with two homers and 17 strike-outs in 49 at-bats.
Fautino De Los Santos recently began his DWL season. In his first appearance for the Tigres del Licey, De Los Santos allowed three unearned runs in one inning. He struck-out two and walked one and hit a batter. Jonathan Ortiz, who pitched for Double-A Midland this season, is a teammate of De Los Santos' on the Tigres' roster. He has a 2.45 ERA in 10 appearances with five strikeouts and four walks in 7.1 innings.
Graham Godfrey has been a starter for the Leones del Escogido. Godfrey has a 3.31 ERA in four starts with 12 strikeouts and five walks in 16.1 innings. He last pitched on November 5th. Jordan Norberto is a teammate of Godfrey's on the Leones. He has a 6.75 ERA in four innings with seven strikeouts and five walks.
Jose Guzman has appeared in one game for the Toros del Este, allowing two runs in one-third of an inning.
Adam Rosales, Edgar Gonzalez, Carlos Hernandez and Andres Avila have all logged time in the Mexican Winter League this season. Rosales has been on the reserve list for the Aguilas de Mexicali since October 20. He hit .200 in seven games before landing on the reserve list.
Gonzalez signed a minor league contract with the A's last week. The native of Mexico has six starts for the Naranjeros de Hermosillo. He has a 4.39 ERA and a 15:5 K:BB ratio in 26.2 innings. Hernandez has pitched well for the Tomateros de Culiacan. After fighting off a slight oblique strain early in the season, Hernandez has been on a roll in his last two starts. In 13 innings over those two starts, he allowed one earned run on 10 hits with 14 strike-outs and three walks. Overall, he has a 3.00 ERA in 24 innings.
The young right-hander Avila has gotten the most playing time in Mexico thus far. He has 11 relief appearances for the Caneros de los Mochis. He has a 6.28 ERA in 14.1 innings. Avila has been uncharacteristically wild, walking seven against 10 strikeouts.
Puerto Rico
Right-hander Yadel Marti is the only A's player currently participating in the Puerto Rican Winter League. In two starts, he has allowed two runs on five hits in nine innings. He has struck-out five and has walked one.

George Clooney
George Clooney has been one of Hollywoods favorite actors since his work on the TV drama ER. Since leaving the silver screen George Clooney has made the a-list of movie stars with his roles in Peacemaker, One Fine Day, as well as the Ocean's series.
Basking in their newly engaged glow, George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin headed out to dinner in Lake Como, Italy last night (July 17).
The couple chatted with their pals, while the gorgeous lawyer looked absolutely lovely in a floral skirt with a matching top.
He's furious that the British tabloid Daily Mail made up a story about his future mother-in-law disapproving his marriage to Amal Alamuddin, and George Clooney isn't interested in making amends.
Even after Daily Mail issued an apology, the "Monuments Men" man insists he won't accept the gesture as genuine.
He's usually a pretty peaceable guy, but George Clooney was furious when he read a bogus report that his future mother-in-law is against him marrying her daughter Amal Alamuddin.
The Daily Mail published an article that Baria Alamuddin had told "half of Beirut" that she didn't think Clooney was the right choice given that he's not Druze.
Believe it or not, George Clooney is about to be made an honest man, and when he ties the knot with Amal Alamuddin there's a very good chance buddy Brad Pitt will serve as the best man.
The "Ocean's Eleven" stud's Aunt Staria told the Daily Mail she's certain that her nephew will choose his "Fight Club" friend.
Fully basking in their newly engaged glory, George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin celebrated their betrothment on Sunday (May 11).
According to reports, the party took place at Café Habana in Malibu, CA and brought together the couple's pals including Cindy Crawford, U2's Bono and The Edge and the club's owner Rande Gerbe.
They've been good friends for years so it's not surprising that Julia Roberts is over the moon about George Clooney's recent betrothal.
During her interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the "Ocean's Eleven" babe proclaimed, "I think it is sublime!"
As one of the most desirable men in Tinseltown, it took quite a woman to convince George Clooney to finally settle down.
And when the "Ocean's Twelve" hunk met Amal Alamuddin, it didn't take long for him to schedule an appointment with his jeweler to design a pricey and perfect engagement ring.
They're madly in love and it turns out the rumors of George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin's engagement are 100% accurate.
A representative from Ms. Alamuddin's law firm issued a congratulatory statement on Monday morning (April 28) wishing the happy couple all the best.
It appears that George Clooney is officially off the market and engaged to his girlfriend Amal Alamuddin.
A source close to the "Monuments Men" star told People magazine, "George and Amal are trying to keep things very low-key, but they also aren't really trying to hide this."
He is one of the world's most eligible bachelors, but George Clooney may just be headed to the altar yet.
Over the past week, the "Gravity" hunk's girlfriend, Amal Alamuddin, has been spotted out sporting a large ring on her left finger, sparking rumors of an engagement.

Chicago Sun-Times
6th March 2013
Throughout the '90s, David Bowie ran from his past. He swore off his catalog in concert, couched himself in a middling rock band (Tin Machine) and embraced emerging electronica music — even touring with Nine Inch Nails, looking frightfully the follower rather than the usual leader.
The results ranged from OK ("Earthling," 1997) to oh-dear ("Hours…," 1999). Then, recognizing that he had built for himself a wheelhouse containing many mansions, he did the smart thing at the turn of this century and went back inside. "Heathen" (2002) and "Reality" (2003) are two of Bowie's most accessible and enjoyable records, not only because of their renewed songwriting focus and alluring tunes but because he made them with Tony Visconti, the trusted producer-pal who helmed most of Bowie's landmark albums in the 1970s. Together they drew inspiration from Bowie's past without retreading it. "Heathen" rang a lot of familiar Bowie bells, and "Reality" started to fashion something like a new sound — a sound that "The Next Day" capitalizes, underlines and emboldens.
"The Next Day" is titled for the future, yet its face is a defacement of the past, papering the new title over the cover of Bowie's landmark "Heroes" (1977). The first "New" single is the maudlin "Where Are We Now?," a sighing reminiscence of Bowie's days in Berlin (recording some of those early albums with Visconti). That song materialized in January on Bowie's 66th birthday. Not a peppy comeback, by any means, it was embraced overenthusiastically by fans just glad to know he was not only alive but writing.
Bowie's last tour, in 2004, was interrupted by an emergency angioplasty to clear a blocked artery. Dire rumors of his health have circulated since, and the Flaming Lips recorded a song called "Is David Bowie Dying?"
The title track here, though, finds Bowie sneering, "'I'm gonna say goodbye,' he says/Yeah," as in, yeah, right.
This new day, however, is a cloudy one. "The Next Day" is not an easy album to digest. Lyrics span a variety of Bowie fixations — dystopian futures, gangs of cross-dressing boys and, of course, fame cursed fame. While this is definitely a rock record, the music careens through several styles and affectations, from "Reality" rewrites ("The Stars [Are Out Tonight]") and good ol' glam-rock ("Valentine's Day") to the jazzy chase-scene arrangement of "If You Can See Me" and the wonderfully lurching, Morphine-like rhythm and sax of "Dirty Boys."
Instead of playing nearly everything themselves, as they did on the intimate "Heathen" and "Reality" records, Bowie and Visconti brought a band back to the studio — a legion of Bowie pals (including guitarist Earl Slick, bassist Gail Ann Dorsey, "Serious Moonlight"-era sax player Steve Elson) — the more the merrier to muddle the memories. The album thus plays like a band working on new tunes but relying on muscle memory, not resting on laurels but on the assurance of one of rock's richest catalogs.
Bowie obsessives will find plenty here for forensic analysis, musically and lyrically, but ultimately "The Next Day" stands on its own, or at least as the culmination of what "Heathen" and "Reality" were trying out. Finally comfortable with his own legacy, Bowie has made a record that feels like classic Bowie. Of course, we tend to say that about every new Bowie album. But "The Next Day" likely is the first album in at least 20 years that finally deserves this oft-repeated claim: "It's the best Bowie since 'Scary Monsters'!"
Note: "The Next Day" is streaming for free on iTunes through March 12.

Samsung quickly took to Twitter to dispel these allegations. The South Korean manufacturer stated that once a launch date is set, it would notify the world via Twitter first.
Korean website, MT, confirmed Samsung's side of the story saying that Samsung has not decided on a launch date as of yet. MT reports that Samsung is, however, planning on introducing a new, but unnamed, LTE-enabled Android handset in April, it just isn't the GALAXY S III.
It looks like we find ourselves in the middle of a classic he said, she said. Luckily April isn't that far away to find out for sure, but we tend to lean toward the side of Samsung since, in theory, they should know when they plan on releasing their own product.
Thanks to our tipster!

A WHEELCHAIR-bound former drug dealer - who had been awarded £1 million compensation for botched surgery - bought illegal pepper spray to protect himself, a court heard.
Daniel Grimes, aged 45, and wife Sharon Grimes, aged 41, were found in possession of the pepper spray as well as small amounts of cocaine and heroin when police raided their house in Worsley Road, Farnworth, on July 24 last year.
Grimes told police that they bought the pepper spray on holiday, because he was "living in fear" and believed he may be targeted by "people with sinister intent".
Prosecuting, Colin Buckle said: "He said he lived in fear of people coming to his house.
"One reason for this is because he has had a career of criminal activity with a number of drugs offences."
Grimes also thought he might be targeted after he was awarded more than £1 million in compensation in 2011, when it was decided that negligent medical care had left him wheelchair bound.
The court heard that following a motorbike accident several years before, damage to Grimes's spine went undiagnosed by doctors and an abscess developed. The infection then spread to his spine and left him having to use a wheelchair.
Mr Buckle said: "It appears that they were so concerned for their safety that at one stage they considered giving their daughter a can of pepper spray for protection, before thinking better of it."
Police also found more than 1,500 diazepam tablets at the house, which Grimes said he had become addicted to.
The court heard that both defendants have a long history of offending.
Sharon Grimes has 29 convictions including possession with intent to supply drugs while her husband has 51 convictions to his name including assault, burglary and possession with intent to supply drugs.
- 'Reason to suspect dishonesty' as law firm that took over Asons Solicitors is shut down
- Community support officer jailed for sexual offences against child from Bolton
- JAILED: Hammer attacker who broke friend's arms in 'drug-fuelled rage'
- Missing teens last seen in Bolton found 270 miles away
- Teenager arrives at Glastonbury without ticket - but it's found 220 miles away in petrol station bin
Sentencing, Recorder David Turner QC said: "You both have long criminal records, you are proven criminals and that is very serious.
"However, you have problems of your own and I am not going to add to them."
The couple were both given sentences of three months in jail which will be suspended for 12 months.

Family escapes east side house fire
A family was able to escape a fire on the city's east side Monday.
The fire broke out in a duplex in the 3000 block of East Michigan Street at around 10:00 am.
Firefighters say they battled heavy fire and smoke in the two-story home. They had the blaze under control in 20 minutes.
A family of five, including two young children, were inside at the time of the fire, but everyone was able to get out.
"I seen the older lady jump out the two-story window down to the ground so I ran over to ask if anyone else was inside and she said her grandkids. So I went up to the front door and the flames were so bad I could not go around to the front. The kids had run the out back door. I guess the window where the kids were was on fire, too," said Robert Miller, neighbor.
The family was taken to the hospital to be checked for minor injuries.
The fire is still under investigation. Officials say there were not any working smoke detectors in the home.
Three adults and two children who lived in the apartment on the east side of the home were taken to Wishard Hospital to be checked out for minor injuries. The apartment on the other side of the home is vacant.
The fire caused about $65,000 in damage.

HONOLULU -- Warriors star quarterback Colt Brennan sharply
criticized conditions at the University of Hawaii's athletic facilities and said he returned for his senior season largely to spark change.
Brennan complained there has been no soap in the football locker
room showers for months and student athletes must pay for campus parking to attend practices, workouts and study sessions.
"We spent all spring with no soap in our showers," Brennan told The Honolulu Advertiser. "Half of the soap dispensers are broken. How hard is it for us to have soap in our lockers? Isn't that something that should be a health issue?"
Brennan told the newspaper he has racked up as much as $800 in
parking fines at the Manoa campus, and his car has been towed twice.
"I would love for somebody to show how much we've made for the
school last year and then show how much kids owe for parking going to practice every morning," he said.
"We're not asking for multimillion-dollar facilities," he said. "We want some upgrades. ... People don't come to Hawaii for our facilities. They come for the experience and, in our case, the coaching staff. Imagine the possibilities if our facilities and resources were dramatically improved."
Brennan, who attended Colorado for a year, said the facilities and resources in Boulder were "galaxies away" in comparison.
"When we're winning, we get compared to big programs like Ohio
State and USC," he said. "I wonder how analysts would look at our achievements if they realize what we have to overcome through facilities, resources and traveling."
The record-breaking quarterback, who finished sixth in Heisman
Trophy voting last season, said he was hesitant to voice his opinions, which may affect recruiting, but felt compelled to speak out.
"I want to see change. I want to see this school way better off
when I leave," he said. "That's a big reason why I came back. When the seniors leave, we want to know our younger teammates will be taken care of. And I'm not just talking about football. I want to see the entire sports program become better."
Hawaii athletic officials were not immediately available for comment.
Brennan set an NCAA record with 58 touchdown passes last season,
leading the nation in passing yards (5,549), passing efficiency (186) and completion percentage (72.6). He withdrew from the NFL draft to return for his senior season at Hawaii.
