Somehow, this Scandinavian nation of almost nine and a half million people frequently manages to field teams that are more than the sum of their parts.
Drawn against Ukraine, England and France, the Swedes will bring their usual pragmatic game to Euro 2012 - respectful of their opponents, but certainly not in awe of them.
The Swedes shocked Netherlands in their final Group E qualifier to secure automatic qualification as the best second-placed team.
A rampant Sweden came from behind to win 3-2, handing the Dutch their first defeat since the 2010 World Cup final.
Coach Erik Hamren maintains that his squad is "the best in the world at getting a result without changing the way we play", but if his team are to realise their full potential he may have some tinkering to do.
Hamren favours a 4-2-3-1 system with AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic free to display the full range of his talents at the fulcrum of the attack.
Ibrahimovic has stated a preference for PSV Eindhoven's Ola Toivonen to support him in the withdrawn striker's role, but the enormous physical capacity of Galatasaray's Johan Elmander makes him hard to drop.
The coach can call on two excellent goalkeepers in Andreas Isaksson (PSV Eindhoven) and Johan Wiland (FC Copenhagen).
Occasionally erratic, the 30-year-old Isaksson is approaching 100 caps for his country and Wiland is unlucky to have played in the same era, winning only six caps since his debut in 2005.
In the centre, holding midfielders Anders Svensson and Kim Kallstrom are both excellent readers of the game, and both also possess a surgical passing ability and can split any defence.
The evergreen Olof Mellberg, now at Olympiacos in Greece, steers a well-marshalled defence that is ably assisted by its midfield, but left back has been a problem area with several players being tried there.
After some shaky performances by Oscar Wendt, Blackburn's Martin Olsson looks to have made the berth his own.
Mikael Lustig was a given at right back, but since moving to Celtic from Rosenborg he has had precious little playing time, and Hamren may be forced to have a look at Sunderland's Sebastian Larsson should Lustig prove too rusty.
Although historically obsessed with English football, the Swedes are never awe-struck when meeting their national team and their defeat to them in a friendly last year was the first time they had lost to England in 43 years.
Even if they have historically had a hard time against France, Hamren's men are capable of getting a result against any side, as they showed in their 4-2 demolition of Holland to qualify.
Ibrahimovic missed that match and in their captain's absence the other players seemed liberated as they tore the Dutch defence to shreds to qualify directly as the best second-placed team.
This led to whispers in some quarters that Hamren should do the unthinkable and consider dropping one of the most effective scorers of the last decade in Serie A.
There is no doubting Ibra's prodigious individual talent; the question is whether his team-mates can perform in his shadow or whether the old Swedish collective ideal is better suited to their skills.

Gators Conquer Aztecs in NIT Opener
Maybe Florida coach Billy Donovan will let his players back in their practice facility now. With Marreese Speights scoring a team-high 18 points, & freshman guard Nick Calathes adding 16 points, five rebounds and five assists, and the Gators snap a four-game losing streak with a 73-49 victory over San Diego State in the first round of the NIT on Wednesday night.
The second-seeded Gators (22-11) outrebounded the Aztecs 35-22 by making the most of their size advantage inside, hit seven 3-pointers, played solid defense throughout and won for the first time in three weeks. They advanced to play Creighton in the second round Friday.
Florida lost eight of its previous 11 games and missed the NCAA tournament for the first time in 10 years. Donovan responded by kicking his players out of the team's $12 million practice facility and banning them from wearing any Florida attire.
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, in town to meet with some of Florida's draft-eligible players, sat next to football coach Urban Meyer for the game.
Fans in the student section tried to taunt Belichick with chants of "18 and 1" and "New York Giants." He didn't seem to notice.

text: Lois Ehlert has written and or illustrated many books. Any public library will have a good number of her books available in the children's section and rightfully so. She makes unique, entertaining and dynamic books for kids. Hands I had never read this book before grabbing it at my library this week, and I am so sad I missed it for so long. This little book has a great message. It's all about a daughter watching her parents create by building , sewing and gardening. She too creates both my watching, helping then painting. Making things with your hands isn't just something you pick up, it's something you learn from your very first teachers. The book is a mix of fun shaped pages, flaps to flip and photos and illustrations. My son loved the variety and so did I. In My World is a great book for toddlers. There are cut outs of shapes of animals, plants, and more. On every page they create different beautiful patterns as you flip the pages. The text is simple and not too long for even the youngest most eager to turn the pages themselves ( you know how toddlers are!)kiddos. Fascinating book about all sorts of natural wonders from worms to stars. Wag A Tail is a book about good dogs who are well behaved at the farmer's market until...they can't take it any longer and must get to the dog park. The rhyming text is fantastic for preschoolers and the fun mixed media illustrations make the dogs feel like they are popping off the pages. Our favorite part though came at the very end with a guide to all the dogs, with their pictures, breed and temperament. Kids will relate to having to be well behaved when it's hard and then letting loose when the leash is off !

The Gift of Gab
4th Dimensional Rocket Ships Going Up
Quannum Records
The Gift of Gab, the MC half of Blackalicious, ventured north from his Bay Area home and musical partner, Chief Xcel, for this debut solo album. Relatively unknown Seattle producers Jake One and Vitamin D share production credits on 4th Dimensional Rocket Ships Going Up.
It must have taken a truckload of restraint on a fledgling producer's part to leave out some of the shiny bells and whistles endemic to hip-hop technology today. The truckload of restraint that Jake One and Vitamin D display in laying out the stripped-down sound of FDRSGU would have the Washington State Patrol licking their chops at the weigh station.
Given the busy over-production that Chief Xcel brings to Blackalicious' Blazing Arrow, it's refreshing to hear GoG's introspective, uplifting, and sometimes funny rhymes sprayed over the mellow jazzy backdrop that his new Seattle cohorts smooth out for him. On "Flashback," shag carpet-worthy R&B groove backs up a stream-of-consciousness list of GenX nostalgia and illustrates best the chemistry of these collaborators.
As for the name? With nary a literal rocket ship appearing on the record, the listener is left wondering why Gab chose such a complicated title for such an uncomplicated album. (Caroline Keys)
The Gift of Gab and Lateef the Truth Speaker perform Wednesday, March 23, at The Other Side. Tickets cost $12/advance, $15/door, available at Ear Candy Music and Rockin Rudy's.
Uprite Dub Orchestra
Dubaliscious Productions
Dub is a primarily instrumental offshoot of reggae characterized by long, trippy tracks. Lyrics aren't important in dub, which means it's easier to get lost in the pure music, or something like that.
Most of the tracks on the Portland, Ore., band's debut disc are recorded live in various pubs. The sound quality is rich and full, the bass is deep, the horns are hoarse and the guitar is occasionally out of tune. The six Uprite Dub dudes blend traditional dub, as pioneered by Lee "Scratch" Perry, with ska and elements of dancehall. "Latin Goes Ska" is an example of the latter—too much snappy dancehall for some tastes, but there are nine other punchy tracks to listen to. "Business as Usual" features vocal shouts and a rigorous arrangement. The horns are tight and the beats are energetic—refreshing in a genre often associated with the slowed heartbeats of gregarious ganjafarians. Another ska-shaking track with similar qualities is "Blonde Dready."
Uprite Dub Orchestra also treats Duke Ellington's seminal "Caravan" to a revamp, with break beats allowing the band to switch gears between dub, funk and ska.
Dubrite is a fun disc for occasional play, perhaps better suited for ska fans than dub dudes. (Eric Segalstad)
The Uprite Dub Orchestra performs at 10 PM Monday, March 21, at The Top Hat. Cover TBA.
The Mammals
Rock That Babe
Signature Sounds
The kids have got pedigree, what with Ruth Ungar, fiddling daughter of Grammy-winning fiddler Jay; Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, grandson of folkily ubiquitous Pete; and resident pop songcrafter Michael Merenda—the irresistibly hook-saavy Sting of the group, if Mammals were Police, as it were.
There's a good amount of neo-old-timey NPR fodder, however pleasantly done, until an unforeseen Cuban groove and a moaning violin stretch out into "Chan Chan," an apparent classic from the Mammals' live set, and one of Rock That Babe's several standouts.
It's the very presence of standout tracks—you'll hear the other two or three—that makes the album as a whole, the band's third as a group, stand out in an increasingly crowded crowd of scratchy folk/old-time/post-bluegrass whomevers.
"Bad Shoes Blues"—now with Ruth vocalizing— is a good example of how the Mammals use tricks they picked up from rock and roll (is that really a fuzz bass?) and there's a version of "John Henry" here that you could see coming from a mile away, if only for all the dust it kicks up. Track 10, "Pearls," is where a creeping Grateful Dead echo starts to make itself heard, only to prove in the end that, speaking sonically, you can salvage just about anything with a properly placed fiddle. (Brad Tyer)
The Mammals play Saturday, March 19, at The Other Side. Doors open at 8:30 PM. Tickets available at Rainbow's End.
Amy Martin
Raven's Wing Records
Is she really the small-town South Dakota girl from her song "Away"? After spending the 50 minutes of Deliverance with Amy Martin, the listener will not necessarily know Amy any better than before. The listener will, however, have met an array of characters created by Martin (who's actually from Iowa).
Each of these songs comes from such different perspectives. Handclaps on a capella number "Born in the Country" make it feel primitive, like an Allan Lomax recording. Martin's fictional characters reveal their stories with sincerity, from the troubled religious missionary of "Amazon" to a single woman running down her checklist in the search for Mr. Right on "Man."
The tie that binds this array of gracefully crafted songs is musicianship. Martin, a fine guitar picker herself, has chosen some of the best acoustic musicians in the Missoula area to accompany her. Mason Tuttle, eternally appropriate, plays guitar, mandolin and bass throughout. Michael Blessing lends his percussion skills, Jennifer Slayden plays cello and Ellie Nuno fiddles. Lilting above this tasteful ensemble, Amy Martin narrates stories crafted with compassion for even the foulest of her characters. (Caroline Keys)
Amy Martin performs at events with activist Kathy Kelly Friday, March 18, at 12 noon on the UM campus Oval and again at 5 PM at the Wilma Theatre.

Today was a big day for us, P had her preschool orientation. Needless to say, we've been busy and having fun but I wanted to drop in and share a little bit of a "work in progress". So here we go!
A while back I saw this great runner by Ashley Ann Campbell at Under the Sycamore Tree:
|Image by Ashley Ann Campbell @ Under the Sycamore
As for me, here is what I have so far:
I'm still in the collection phase and I haven't started connecting the doilies yet. But after seeing Ashley's again, I think that I definitely need to get rid of the biggest doily on the right in the picture above. My doily collecting is slow going though. In fact, the big doily that isn't going to work is the only one I've bought; my girlfriend Bug picked the rest up for me at a garage sale. So far, between Bug and me, $3 has been spent. My goal is to keep this project cheap. Any ideas on where to doily hunt, on the cheap, in Oly?
Well that's all I've got for today. I've had this project on my mind for a long time now and I thought that I'd share. Maybe you have some doilies to repurpose for your own runner, or better yet that you want to contribute to mine (insert wink-y smile here). Oh! And if you want to keep up with what's inspiring me out on the internet follow my Pinterest boards, the button is on the upper right sidebar here.
I hope that you're having a great Thursday and a fun back to school week. We're definitely enjoying the sun here in Oly.
PS - If you haven't checked out Ashley Ann Campbell's Under The Sycamore blog, I highly recommend it. It's gorgeous, well written and full of great ideas and inspiration; it's one of my favs.
I'd love to hear any comments, thoughts, ideas or opinions you have. Please share in the comment section below.

Holy Island Staples And Barwick ...

An attractive chart of the North Sea including Holy Island. Coastal detail extends from Sunderland to Goswick and north is oriented to the bottom of the page. An inset at lower left shows "Barwick" with the low and high water marks. The chart is dedicated to "Capt. Will Davies Vice Admirall To The Rt. Honorable The Earle Of Torrington" in a decorative cartouche at upper right. Captain Greenvile Collins was one of the most important English mapmakers and was "Hydrographer to the King". In 1681 Charles II appointed Collins to undertake a "survey of the seacoasts of the Kingdom by measuring all the Sea coasts with a chain and taking all the bearings of the headlands". The engraved maps were apparently available separately as they were completed and by 1693 the charts were published in atlas form, entitled "Great Britain's Coasting Pilot". This sea-atlas contained 47 charts of the British coast, and proved a great commercial success. Collins' atlas was much needed as, until its publication, British mariners sailing in British waters had been dependent on the earlier sea-charts of the Dutch. With both charts and sailing directions, Collins' atlas filled a gap in the market. As a consequence of its popularity, the atlas was re-issued throughout the next century. The original plates are
distinctively engraved and are usually found on thick paper. This has the signature of the engraver, F.W.Oetjes, at lower left. Minor marginal staining.

What Do Engines Do? Part 2: Conversion
If you're like most people, you're used to jumping in your car and turning it on, without a thought to how the engine makes everything work. If you want to find out how this actually works, well, that's what we're discussing now. In our last post, we talked about how pistons turn energy from gas into movement. This time, we're talking about how that up-and-down movement from the pistons becomes the circular movement needed for wheels to move.
Time to Get Rolling
The crankshaft is inside of the engine, connected to the pistons. The pistons can rotate on both ends, allowing them to move smoothly up and down despite the crankshaft at the end. As the piston moves around the rotating joint on the far end, it circles the axis formed by the crankshaft, allowing the up-and-down motion of the piston to become a circular motion, as carried by the crankshaft.
The crankshaft is also connected to the camshaft (the part that controls the intake valves), so that the two rotate in synch with each other constantly.
Drive Shaft
Not to be confused with a crankshaft, the drive shaft runs the length of the car. Once the vertical motion of the cylinders and pistons is converted to rotational movement through the crankshaft, the drive shaft takes this movement along to the wheels. They turn, the car moves forward, and there you have it – locomotion.
The turning drive shaft also runs the length of the car, allowing the wheels to turn.
Next up: How your input controls the car's output.

wikiHow to Wash Curly Hair
Three Parts:Getting the Right ProductsUsing the Correct TechniqueStyling Curly HairCommunity Q&A
Curly hair can be very difficult to maintain. To make sure you don't damage your hair, you have to choose the right products and apply them with the right technique. Be gentle when washing curly hair and concentrate on the length and ends to ensure you still keep the shape of the curls while keeping them strong and shiny.
Part 1
Getting the Right Products
1Pick SLS-free shampoo. SLS stands for sodium lauryl sulfate and may be too harsh for your curls. It is the key ingredient in most shampoos and detergents. Choose shampoos that use natural oils as alternatives.[1]
- If you do not use the right conditioner with an SLS shampoo, it may lift your hair from its cuticle.
- Natural oils can help strengthen your hair and keep it shiny.
- Shampoo without SLS may not produce a rich lather but may add both bounce and gloss to your curls.
2Read the labels to ensure you limit the use of alcohol. Products with high Alcohol content tend to create crunchy curls as they suck the moisture out of your hair. Use water-soluble gels as an alternative. They should not feel sticky to the touch. You may also use aerated mousses or foams.
- Aerated foams and mousses will resemble beaten white foam once dispensed.
- Any product that provides lift and hold usually contain alcohol. While gels and mousses tend to contain a significant amount of alcohol, hairspray usually contains the most.[2]
3Use the right conditioner. Pair a conditioner with a shampoo designed for dry or damaged hair. Curly hair is prone to damage and getting dried out. There is a greater tendency for damage if your hair is dyed. Use products with natural oils like coconut, jojoba, or other natural oils.[3]
- Even if the label does not state that the product is for curly hair but states that it is for damaged hair, their formulas may be quite similar. The right product for curly hair may not necessarily be labeled as such.
4Make your own deep conditioner. Create your own natural conditioner using a cup of homemade mayonnaise at room temperature. Stir ingredients together and apply through your hair, applying liberally through the tips. There should be enough for 2 treatments depending on your hair length. Apply the treatment immediately after making it to allow the fats and oil to penetrate down through the hair follicles.[4]
- You may make your own mayonnaise using ½ cup olive oil + 3 egg yolks. Do not refrigerate as the formula works best at room temperature. However, do not let the conditioner sit for more than a few hours.
Part 2
Using the Correct Technique
1Shampoo less often with less product. Shampooing frequently may be damaging to your hair regardless of the type as it can dry it out. When you do use shampoo, concentrate on your scalp to avoid dryness. Only lather your hair once unless you're using heavy styling products. Once your scalp is clean, gently wash the shampoo through the ends of your hair.[5]
- An average person may wash her hair about every 2 or 3 days. Watch for signs that you should wash your hair such as an itchy scalp, flaking, or if your hair is visibly oil.[6]
- Sebaceous glands secrete an oily substance to help moisturize your scalp and hair and are most likely responsible for making your hair feel dirty. Wash your hair when it feels dirty or follow these tips[7]:
- If you have thick hair, tight curls, or kinks, you just need to wash your hair about once a week or until it feels dirty. Daily washing will make your hair feel dry. You may use a dry shampoo or conditioner between washes to help refresh your hair.[8]
- If you have medium curls, kinks, or waves, you may shampoo every few days as your curls will look fine with a small amount of the natural oils from the sebaceous glands. Use low shampoos or a shampoo bar. You may also need to use conditioner in between shampoos if you are active and workout a lot. You may also just use water to massage your scalp in between your shampoos as well.[9]
- If you have fine curls or waves, you probably use styling products everyday that makes your hair feel oily. You may shampoo every day to keep your hair looking clean and use a good conditioner to keep it moisturized.[10]
- The quality of the water of your city will affect your hair.[11]
2Wash and handle your hair gently. Do not apply shampoo onto a dry head of hair. Ensure that your hair is soaked in water then completely rinse off any shampoo after correctly applying it. Prevent tangles and knots by not piling strands of your hair at the top of your head.
- Gently use your fingertips to massage your scalp and wash your hair gently.[12]
3Remember to always condition. Due to the shape and texture, conditioning is essential because natural scalp oils are not spread throughout your hair as much as straight or wavy hair. Usually, brushing hair helps to spread scalp oils, however, brushing is not recommended for curly hair.[13]
4Apply conditioner correctly. Apply conditioner to the length of your hair and avoid applying near your scalp. Conditioner at the scalp can weigh down your hair making it look flat while the rest of your hair stays puffy. Try to keep conditioner for as long as you can because it will moisturize as long as it is applied.[14]
- Apply a liberal amount of deep conditioner to wet hair after it has been washed and cleaned. Focus on the ends of your hair as they can be dry and fragile. Leave the conditioner for 5 to minutes as you shower as the steam aids the conditioner in penetrating your hair.[15]
- Leave the conditioner longer if your hair is more damaged. You may place your hair in a plastic shower cap and cover with a towel to keep the heat from escaping your head. After 10 to 20 minutes, rinse the conditioner out but do not shampoo because you want any oils to remain in your hair. Conditioner will continue to work until the next time you use shampoo to wash your hair.[16]
Part 3
Styling Curly Hair
1Towel dry your hair using plopping or microfiber towels as gloves. Plopping is a technique that uses an old t-shirt instead of a towel to dry your hair. Using microfiber towels as gloves is a technique that is exactly as it sounds. Towel drying can easily cause frizz but these techniques can eliminate that as well as reduce tangles and prevent your hair from breaking.[17]
- Plopping requires you to place an old t-shirt on a flat surface positioning the end with the sleeves facing you. Bend over and lay your head at the center of the t-shirt making sure that there's material in front of and behind your hair. Try to position yourself so that your hair scrunches hair straight down. Cover the back of your neck with the bottom of your t-shirt. Then, gather the front material of your t-shirt and keep it tight against the sides of your head as you take the sleeves and wrap them from the front to the back of your head. You may twist the sleeves and side material to help keep it tight against your head. Tie the sleeves at the front of your forehead to keep the plop tight. Tuck in any loose material and leave to dry.[18]
- Once the conditioner has been rinsed off, turn your head upside down and scrunch your curls with microfiber towels. You may be able to purchase actual microfiber towel gloves online or your local beauty supply store. Scrunching your hair removes excess water while still adding volume. It also reduces frizz and keeps the definition of your curls.[19]
2Add a diffuser to your hairdryer. The sheer force of a hair dryer can ruin your curls and create a lot of unwanted frizz. Diffusers reduce the velocity of the air produced by your hair dryer. They may also be used to add volume to your hair.[20]
- Make sure your diffuser fits firmly onto your hair dryer. While your hair dryer may have come with an attachment, you can also buy a universal diffuser online or your local beauty supply store.[21]
- Apply your styling products before drying your hair with the diffuser. Your hair should be about 75% dry before using the diffuser to finish drying.[22]
- Use the medium setting of your hair dryer if you do not have time to use the cool setting. The cool setting prevents heat from damaging your hair.[23]
- Using the bowl of the diffuser, move your head upside down or tilt to the side to place sections of your hair directly into the bowl to dry.[24]
- Dry straight to the roots of your hair by moving the diffuser closer to your head. Be mindful not to ruin clumping or the formation of your curls. Work the sections of your hair until it's only 10% wet then adjust your curls. Use a small amount of product, like pomade or curl cream, and dry the remainder of your hair to lock in the moisture of the product.[25]
- For more volume, shake your roots with your fingers.[26]
3Pick the right products to control your frizz. Avoid your hair from looking greasy and protect your curls from heat and frizz by choosing the right products. For fine curls, use an anti-frizz milk or lotion that's lightweight. For coarse or heavier curls, use a thick treatment oil to allow moisture to penetrate your frizz-prone locks.[27]
4Use your dry hair with wet fingers and don't use a brush. Avoid brushing dry curls as it can lead to breakage by stretching your hair and disrupting your hair's cuticle. While your hair is still wet after a wash, you may use a combination of towel drying and brushing, combing, or finger-combing your hair. Then, add either a conditioner or anti-frizz product and style with your fingers.[28]
- If you must comb dry hair use wet fingers. Even on a humid or windy day, water is enough to tame any frizz because frizz is the result of dryness.[29]
Community Q&A
What if I have long curly hair?wikiHow ContributorWith long curly hair, it is necessary to use leave-in conditioners in the bottom third of your hair. Only brush this section as well, as brushing the rest draws out all of the curl and leaves it looking flat. You want the definition. Use a shampoo and conditioner with either sea mineral oils or whipped egg whites, as these make your hair seem weightless.
Should I brush my hair after drying it?wikiHow ContributorIt's not the best idea, it'll cause a lot of frizz and break your hair strands, damaging your hair. Use a comb or your fingers instead.
Should I brush through my hair with my fingers in the shower after applying conditioner?wikiHow ContributorYes, or you could also use a comb. You should do it while the conditioner is still in your hair.
How do I brush my curly hair when it's dry?wikiHow ContributorActually, it's best that you don't brush curly hair when dry, as doing so damages the roots. If you chose to brush your hair, use wet fingers rather than a brush.
Should I wash my curly hair every day, or is it bad for my hair?wikiHow ContributorDon't wash your hair every day, because it will dry your hair and make it brittle. Wash it every two to three days (or if necessary) and use leave-in conditioner.
How can I get long hair if my hair is curly?wikiHow ContributorTime! Avoid getting it cut. Since curly hair bounces up, it's probably longer than you think!
It's been 30 hours since I had my hair permed. Can I wash it now?wikiHow ContributorThe rule is "24 hours for the air to work its powers." So you should be good.
Does the shirt have to be 100% cotton or what type? \\wikiHow ContributorI have short curly hair and i've used shirts that are made of mostly cotton and then some other materials but it all works! I think the more cotton it has, the less frizz you'll encounter.
How can I style curly hair?wikiHow ContributorMake sure you start off with damp hair. Put your hair into sections. Apply a leave in conditioner and either finger combing it in or using a wide tooth comb. Next, use an oil or serum to lock in the moisture. Then, apply a hair moisturizer or cream. When your done doing that, get a t-shirt and scrunch the excess product out of your hair.
What is the best hair product available in India?wikiHow ContributorThere are many options, but what works best for you depends on the individual. You can try John Freda Frizz-Ease, and many Bed Head products for curly hair.
Which shampoo do I use for curly and dyed hair?
How often should I use a deep conditioner?
- You may leave in a regular rinse-out conditioner by using only a small amount from the middle of the length of your hair to the end. This will help with smoothness and keep the frizz down.[30]
- Avoid any products with silicones because they will build up on the hair. If you must clarify your hair use lemon juice mixed with conditioner, or a sulfate free shampoo (no ammonium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, or sodium lauryl sulfate). However, these will not remove most silicones or waxes.
- To keep the frizz down, use a t-shirt instead of a towel when drying your hair.
- If you cut down on the shampoo your hair may need an adjustment period of a couple weeks.
- Brushing your hair when it's dry will lead to shapeless frizz!
- Make sure to scrub the scalp with silicone-free conditioner. That way you'll avoid the greasy look. Silicones build up if you're not using a sulfate shampoo.

Estrada batters Lora
By Francisco Salazar at ringside
Former world title challenger David Estrada (24-6, 15 KOs) showed he's still a contender by punishing previously unbeaten welterweight Orlando Lora (26-1-1, 18 KOs) over eight rounds on Saturday night at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, California. Estrada simply put a beating on Lora, who was stepping up in class. Lora's corner pulled their man out after round eight.
Super bantamweight Leo Miranda (25-2, 24 KOs) came in at late notice and scored a sixth round KO over Andre Wilson (11-4-1, 9 KOs). A left hook finished Wilson at :43.
Jr middleweight Angel Osuna (4-2-1, 2 KOs) overwhelmed previously unbeaten Ruben Rivera (4-1-1, 3 KOs). The bout was waved off after 93 seconds.

Featherweight Eduardo Cruz won his professional debut, knocking out Matthew Salazar (1-1) in the second round of a scheduled four round bout. Cruz was the aggressor in the bout, although he winged his punches. Salazar looked to counter, but was hesitant at times. As both fighters went on the attack in the second, Cruz landed a right hand. Salazar went down, but it looked as though he was pushed after the punch. As Salazar stood up, he looked dizzy, prompting referee Raul Caiz, Jr. to stop the bout. Time of the knockout was 39 seconds.
Lithuanian Super Middleweight Donatos Bondorvas (6-1-1, 1 KO) won a one-sided four round unanimous decision over Jovanni Rubio. Bondorvas used his strength and height to impose his will on Rubio. Bondorvas hurt Rubio twice in the bout, once in the second and once in the fourth, but could not put Rubio (6-11, 2 KO's) away. All three judges scored the bout 40-36 in favor of Bondorvas.
Featherweight Luis Rosas made his professional debut a successful one, knocking out Edgar Flores (0-2) in second round of a scheduled four round bout. After a competitive first round, Rosas dropped Flores with a counter right hand to the head. After getting up, Flores was knocked down by another right hand to the head, prompting referee Raul Caiz, Jr to stop the fight at 1:02.
Welterweight Alex Paracha (5-0, 2 KO's) won an unpopular, foul-filled four round unanimous decision over Marlo Cortez. The veteran Cortez (2-8-3) was busier the first two rounds, outhustling Paracha with his awkward style. Paracha came on in the third, even though he got away with numerous elbows and forearms to the head of Cortez. Paracha scored a knockdown over Cortez in the fourth, although Cortez looked busier after the knockdown, pressing the action. All three judges scored the bout in favor of Paracha, with scores of 38-37, 38-37, and 39-36. Originally, Cortez had his hand raised after the decision was announced, but then Paracha's was correctly raised, drawing boos from the crowd who felt Cortez should have won.
Junior Lightweight Evgency Grandovich (2-0, 2 KO's) stopped game Benjamin Rivera in the third round of a scheduled four round bout. Grandovich landed at will, especially to the head of Rivera (0-3). Grandovich hurt Rivera in the third round with a barrage of punches, prompting referee Raul Caiz, Jr. to stop the bout at 1:54.

Dec. 17, 2007 — Over the past 200 years, the infrastructure created by engineers has done as much to improve the health and quality of life in people around the world as have advances in medicine. Simply put, clean water, reliable power, good roads and efficient communications save lives.
This past summer, four Engineering School students learned this lesson with an immediacy that can never be achieved in the classroom. They traveled to South Africa, where, together with faculty and students at the University of Venda (UNIVEN) and the Vhembe Fet College (Techniven) and with members of local communities, they undertook simple engineering projects that have the potential to make small but definite contributions to local health and education.
Biomedical engineering majors Shokoufeh Dianat ('09) and Veronica Yeh ('09) joined Ritwik "Ricky" Sahu ('09), a systems engineering and economics major, to build two biodigesters that could produce methane for cooking. Maggie Kirkpatrick ('08), a mechanical engineer minoring in biomedical engineering, erected solar panels to generate electricity in a preschool. Each was advised by environmental sciences professor Robert Swap and funded by the University's Institute of Practical Ethics and Center for Global Health, which receive support from the Engineering School.
"These projects really capture what engineering is all about — problemsolving within constraints," says Engineering School Dean James H. Aylor. "The students had to design culturally appropriate projects that could be built from inexpensive local materials."
The biodigester project is a case in point. Dianat, Yeh and Sahu familiarized themselves with the technical details of their project by building a prototype of the biodigester, which uses a thin mixture of cow dung and water, on Dean Aylor's farm in Madison County, Va. Once in South Africa, however, the trio of students found that a critical factor in the project's success was the human dimension. As Dianat says, "We spent a lot of our time there building relationships to ensure the sustainability of the project."
The team installed biodigesters in two villages, Tshibvumo and Khakhanwa. They produce enough methane to enable a household to cook for an hour, replacing wood fires, which are associated with respiratory ailments.
Kirkpatrick and two other current and former U.Va. students worked with community members, faculty and students at UNIVEN and Techniven to design and install a solar panel in a preschool in Tshibvumo and wire it for electricity. She and her colleagues enlisted local support; drafted an electrical plan; and sourced the wiring, switches and other materials locally.
With just a few adjustments, the lights worked immediately. "As you can imagine, there was a lot of excitement," she says. The panels power 12 lights, enabling village members to make better use of the building and reducing eyestrain on young scholars.
The impact of these efforts on the engineering students themselves was as dramatic as it was on the communities. As Yeh, a member of the biodigester team, notes, "You learn a lot from being outside your comfort zone." Dr. Richard Guerrant, director of the Center for Global Health, concurs. "When engineering students go to countries like South Africa, they realize just how precious their knowledge is. They come to understand that the skills they gain at U.Va. can be used to help others lead better, more productive lives. It's a humbling, empowering, lifechanging experience."

Carrier 58STA/58STX No Heat
Tried to use the furnace for the first time this season and our furnace will not start (North Texas and damn good insulation). I am leaning towards the control board, but I will detail my troubleshooting and would appreciate any additional advice. The thermostat calls for heat, but I get a 31 error code. My inducer motor will not come on.
I confirmed 120VAC and 24VAC to the board and when I initiate self test, the blower motor comes on, but the inducer motor does not. I have a good common ground across the unit.
I checked all limit and roll out switches and I have 0 ohms across all switches. I am able to actuate the pressure switch and observe resistance drop to 0.
I do not have 120VAC to the inducer motor and wiring between the motor and is good. I shorted R and W on the board and still do not see 120 at the board or at the motor.
Anybody have any other ideas? The control board is a HK42FZ013. Thanks
Looks like you have it figured out. The replacement board isn't a plug and play so read the directions.
Yep. Follow the wiring instructions VERY CAREFULLY as it is a retrofit board with adaptor cables. Be VERY carefull how you install the large 20 pin flat connector.
Alright, going to order the board, I will update later this week. Hopefully I didnt miss something small!
Nope, they had problems with solder joints breaking and the ventor fan relay could be faulty also. The new board is better.
Well, got back from a business trip today and the new board was waiting for me. Took me about 10 minutes and got it installed and had heat back. Thanks for the advice!

Ok, so I tried linuxlive key boot maker as well as Unetbootin on two different USB keys...
Whenever I try to run off of the live keys on my laptop, I get errors and/or a black screen. On other computers it works fine.
The error when trying safe mode (in normal, I only get a black screen) I get the error:
Error Atom Bios stuck Executing CBBA 0xCBD6.
I also get a few other error codes but all the same definition of the code.
Also, it starts off with executable_table_locked.
I'm not quite sure what to do at this point... Any ideas?
More details!
The laptop is the Acer 3820TG-7945, with switch-able intel-ATI graphics. I know ubunto can work with switch-able graphics - but I want backtrack 5.
Now, when I enter safe mode...
I get that lovely screen where everything loaded nicely, but I want to startx. So.. I type in startx.
Black screen.
Now lets go to safe mode and press tab, and erase text--. I get to Driver supports precise vblank timestamp query, then stops. sits there for 15minutes. SO, I cut power as CTL-ALT-DEL does nothing.
I get REALLY curious and try entering forensic mode. Not what I want as I'm trying to install it, but hey, just for fun. Black screen.
So, I've tried 32 and 64 bit versions of Gnome. I can go for KDE if you guys think it's a solution, but I've downloaded the Gnome version several times in order to correct this hoping for corrupt ISOs. And I DO want to make it work without disabling switchable graphics. In fact, I haven't tried with it disabled, so I'll give it a shot now.
Black screen... So that didn't solve anything. I'm at a loss here guys. Anyone have any ideas?
Ok, so I tried:
wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/at...x86.x86_64.run
sh ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run
Results to follow. Oh, right, just so everyone knows what's going on, I set the discrete graphics instead of switchable in bios... Then did that...
Then just go through the prompts and select recommended (I'm not quite an expert so... if I screw up... then it's probably due to something there...)...
then I ran startx and got a black screen... This is just not working well for me... I can't even get to the stage to install it on my laptop...

Hey there Amillano -- Welcome to Marlin Owners. Does your sight look something like this one? Best regards. Wind
Howdy yall. Im new to this sight and know this has probaly been brought up just dont know where. I just recently purchased a lever action and my question is how would you set up your universal rear sight my goal is to shoot 100 yards and closer for now. I purchased a Rossi Rio Grande 30-30 Stainless 20" Barrel. There are 6 steps on the on the Universal Rear Sight i am curious on how to set it up. Id like to know how they would set it up back in the day? I will only be shooting 100 yards and under I would like to know if I could set it up at 25, 50, 75, & 100 on the 1st 4 steps. then maybe leave the last 2 steps for maybe 150 and 200 yards later on down the road. I would really appreciate any information and knowledge yall can send my way. My rifle shoots high of course at 100. Is this the way all lever actions come shooting high? All my friends and I have bought lever actions various models and brands and they all have shot high. Are we doing something wrong like maybe using the wrong step on the Univeral Rear Sight? Normally which step is set to 100 yards? Im guessing I have to purchase a talller front sight and maybe fine tune the rear sight with some filing. Thanks in advance.
Hey there Amillano -- Welcome to Marlin Owners. Does your sight look something like this one? Best regards. Wind
I think that there are no stock settings to the iron sights . . you do not readjust the rear sight for different ranges - zero your rifle at 100 yards and leave the sights alone from there

@ Wind: Yes sir Wind thats exactky what it looks like. @ 48 Vintage: O.... ok so sight it at 100 I guess i could do that but id like to utilize the other steps unless noone does that?
Hey again Amillano -- Basically different ammunition will impact your target at different points, all with the same sight setting. This leaves a couple options for sight adjustment. Shoot a few rounds and slide your stepped elevator up or down until your sight is putting your ammunition on your point of aim. The other option is to shoot the same ammunition every time. Now you can adjust the height of the front sight to correspond to your rear sight leaf, (i.e. choose a step in the elevator) for a basic sight "zero". Often this is done with the step on it's lowest notch, and a point of impact with your particular ammunition at 50 yards, corresponding to your point of aim. The extra steps in the elevator will allow for longer ranges by elevating the rear sight leaf. Again a little experimentation is in order to see where your point of impact varies with the particular ammunition you are shooting. Hope this helps. Best regards. Wind
I think you might be over analyzing the whole situation.
I have mine set up to shoot 3/4" high at 50 yards which puts it about dead on at 100 with the ammo I like.
Choose your favorite ammo, and adjust the ramp until you get similar results and you'll be happy. If you change the weight of your bullet or ammo, you may have to adjust it a notch or two.
With some experimentation you can probably click it up for longer ranges but it will depend on your rifle as to how much, etc.

text: Hi MacRumors community, I have recently received my new iPod Classic 120GB with which I am very satisfied except for one thing... Whenever I touch the clickwheel with just one hand (e.g. the ipod lies on a table) I can hear a static noise, something like a very quiet buzzing, through the headphones. I can hear that sound on the original Apple headphones that came with my unit (though much quieter) and also through my in-ear creative headphones. I am not that picky and the sound is really rather quiet but I can hear it (and first heard it) when I'm lying in bed and listening to some music on a low volume level and adjust the volume for example so that my finger touches the clickwheel. Now the funny thing is, that whenever I touch the iPod's casing with my other hand in addition to my hand touching the clickwheel, the sound/noise disappears. This also happens when I hold the iPod in one hand and more "surface" of my hand comes in contact with the casing and not only the tip of my finger on the clickwheel. So I'm not an electrical engineer or something but i guess it has something to do with the clickwheels functionality of the capacitive sensing thing... I didn't get that sound on my old 2nd gen Nano with the same headphones. So my question now is, if other users have also come across this problem or if this is normal to the new classics or if I should go for an exchange of the unit... Thanks in advance for any input on that one

There seems to be a lot of confusion in the role that Master Data Management (MDM) plays with big data. Much of this confusion is due to a lack of understanding of exactly what big data is, and how it can be leveraged. The definition of big data has expanded over the years as more and more vendors and companies attempt to capitalize on the buzz. For purposes of this discussion, we will focus on the role of Hadoop in handling big data. Hadoop is a relatively new open source platform designed to allow users to handle ever-increasing volumes of data quickly and efficiently, where any piece of data within a dataset can be used in a query. Hadoop systems are highly scalable and relatively cost efficient, for large corporate projects.
Hadoop breaks large data sets into small "chunks" and spreads these pieces across the servers in a Hadoop cluster. Each chunk is of a requisite size and contains some subset of the original files' records. This is called the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).
The magic of Hadoop occurs when you apply the MapReduce function. This process essentially runs your query against every chunk of data across all the nodes in the HDFS cluster, then performs a reduce process that combines those results and outputs them to a single data set. Given that no schema is applied to the original files before adding data to the HDFS system, the load is very quick. While it is possible to run any query against this data – you can find many examples on the Internet that show you how to write MapReduce functions against large data sets and return results – you will have to set the bar a little higher if you wish for these results to be actionable; for example, while it may be nice to figure out which customers disliked an Italian restaurant on Yelp, it is far more useful to find out which of your known customers have disliked a restaurant on Yelp in the last three weeks.
Many data sets that are used in big data processes come from either the Internet or sensor data. With either of these sources, data will be provided based on identifiers such as sensor IDs and social media IDs. Companies will need to map these to their current customer or organization identifiers to be able to leverage the value of any insights gained from this data. This can be done by providing results from your MDM data set using a solution such as Master Data Maestro, which allows you to provide actionable information to the correct manager at the correct time. This approach delivers more effective information for the organization, and leads to better management decisions. It can also ensure that results from the HDFS cluster have been vetted against real-world knowledge.
Some data quality and profiling tools work on top of the big data set to deliver cleansed identifiers from the data. While this can provide initial data to be loaded into your MDM system, it is not an effective way to create actionable results. As opposed to attempting to remove duplicates from the HDFS system in this way, master data should be applied at the MapReduce function level, where the entire mastered Customer or Product list can be used to manage data in and out of the system. The freedom that a Hadoop implementation provides must be checked against the known lists of the business to ensure that query results are meaningful and actionable.

Lisa Cooper's diversity speech explains how she built a business out of a passion for diversity while utilizing the power of networking. The New York native moved to Norway as a young professional after meeting her future husband at an American night club. Going from a very multicultural and large city to a significantly more homogeneous and smaller sized city and the assumptions, stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination she encountered as a black woman sparked her interest in diversity. She became a passionate educator and advocate for diversity in the workplace.
In 2008 she founded the Leadership Foundation with the objective of developing a company geared towards implementing diversity through consulting, projects and research. In her diversity speech, Cooper also explains how her network grew, developed and supported her throughout her career.

Dear Editor,
Mr. Nunz, perhaps the council is listening but instead of listening to a select group as it has for years it's starting to realize that there are many different people in Los Alamos and they haven't been properly represented because council has spent too many years giving in to the loudest group of people in order to give them their way.
I saw the headlines recently that said, "Federal officials on Sunday unveiled an extraordinary takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, putting the government in charge of the twin mortgage giants and the $5 trillion in home loans they back. The move, which extends as much as $200 billion in Treasury support to the two companies, marks Washington's most dramatic attempt yet to shore up the nation's housing market, which is suffering from record foreclosures and falling prices."
Over the past couple of weeks there has been a significant amount of press coverage on the Trinity and 15th option for the new Municipal Building. As an officer of the Los Alamos Lodge 2083 of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, I wish to state my disappointment with county leadership and their disparaging remarks about our facility. For the past 50 years the Elks have served this community as a nonprofit volunteer organization, proudly upholding the four principles of our Order: charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity.
Question: How do you ruin a beautiful quiet little park?
Answer: Stick an 18-foot, purple and blue phallic piece of "art" in it!
There is nothing wrong with the piece of art. It is just too overpowering for this nice little park.
Maybe the Art in Public Places Board should take another look at the aesthetic effect this thing has on this park.

Los Alamos
Thank you, Mario Schillaci for your well written letter regarding the bicycle-UNfriendly nature of the pedestrian crossing islands included in the "beautification" project on Central Avenue.
Once again this scientific community misses an oppportunity to present its potential as progressive and exemplary in much-needed green technologies and city planning. The islands are a disaster waiting to happen, the complete opposite of bike lanes.
The folks I talk to are so proud of Ken Milder and the council for doing the job they were elected to do and making a tough decision about the skate park using their best judgment, given all the facts.
They didn't cower and punt to an ill-advised referendum – no – they stood firm and did what is in the best interest of all the citizens of Los Alamos, young and old, powerful and not.
I would like to see a cooperative market in Los Alamos and I believe that such a business would be successful, but a partnership with the county is not necessary in order to make it happen. As part of their proposal, the cooperative market developers would like us to pay for an underground parking structure at the Trinity and 15th site in addition to the cost of the new municipal building itself.
I'm tires of sending letters to the editor, but I must take strong disagreement with George Chandler's dismissal of the Monitor editorial criticizing Ken Milder on the skate park referendum rejection.
His dismissal of the editorial as "ignorant" by a putative civics New Mexico 101 lesson and some self congratulatory words about how well government functions here struck me to use another term common in political discussion today: "out of touch."
Thank you for covering the attendance (Aug. 29) of Los Alamos citizens at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. There were two big and very loud seating sections filled with New Mexicans on Thursday for Barack Obama's acceptance speech at Mile High Stadium. Our "Los Alamos for Obama" banner was made by Lee Eakins and signed by many Los Alamos supporters.

Handel on Instagram's Censorship Policies
Photographer, explorer of sexuality and teen culture, and Oyster contributor Petra Collins is repping menstruation/masturbation for American Apparel, having designed and modelled a tee with a self-satisfying, bleeding vagina on it.
Collins tell Huffington Post about being censored on Instagram.
I wasn't shocked at the reaction I received from my t-shirt. I'm used to being told by society that I must regulate my body to fit the norm. I'm used to the fact that images of unaltered women are seen as unacceptable. I've taught myself to ignore it (as much as I can) and through the Internet (via sites like ROOKIE) and social media platforms (like Instagram and Facebook) I've been able to freely share images and start discussions about these issues.
