Igarashi keeps Japanese 112 belt
By Joe Koizumi
Photo: Boxing Beat
Southpaw ex-Olympian, WBC#4/WBA#4 flyweight Toshiyuki Igarashi (14-1-1, 10 KOs), 112, kept his Japanese national 112-pound belt as he was awarded a majority technical decision (78-77 twice and 76-76) over ex-titlist Kenji Yoshida (17-10-1, 5 KOs), 111.75, at 1:14 into the eighth session of a scheduled ten-rounder on Saturday in Tokyo, Japan. Yoshida kept boring in from the head, which caused plenty of head-collisions, producing a gash over the right optic of Igarashi in the second and then a very nasty laceration on the forehead of himself. Yoshida collapsed from a pain of the last head-butt, which finally terminated the foul-studded contest for the referee to take a technical decision.
Ranked #12 both by the WBC and the WBA, unbeaten 140-pound prospect Yoshihiro Kamegai (18-0, 16 KOs), 145.75, scored a one-punch knockout of Filipino Joel dela Cruz (15-11-2, 6 KOs), 142.25, at 2:05 of the second session in a supporting ten. The hard-hitting Japanese knocked him out of the ropes with a single left hook, but dela Cruz wasn't a Jack Dempsey that would come back into the ring to finish a Luis Angel Firpo. He was counted out then and there.

It's ugly, but also oddly beautiful.The patina of surface rust on
a survivor car is somehow a badge of defiance against the ages.
I'm glad to see "rusty dubs" and other cars taking a cue from
the hotrod community,flying in the face of high-shine cars by
keeping their age apparent & proudly wearing their oxidation.
Can rusty cars be hot? Yes!
Show me some beautiful rust!

A few weeks ago I read that almost a million mallards were on the Missouri river in S. Dakota, then that really cold arctic blast hit with ice, sleet and snow. It didn't look like snow it the Dakotas, Nebraska or Kansas but got really cold. So I am wondering have the mallards left S. Dakota or not. I'm sure some did and we get spotty reports of them in Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Did they keep flying over Oklahoma or are they still north? This fall I drove through Kansas and could not believe all the agriculture with abundant rainfall over summer...so that makes me think they are feeding and using big water.
The past two years the mallards never really migrated south due to lack of heavy (6+ inches) snowfall that prevents them from feeding in fields.
What you say?

Chicago Teachers Union Vs. Astroturf Billionaires
This video shows the history of the privatizers in Chicago and their operation to destroy public education for the profit of the billionaires.
Chicago Teachers Union Vs. Astroturf Billionaires
Published on Aug 16, 2012 by CTUTV1
The Chicago Teachers Union is currently on the front lines of a fight to defend public education. On one side the 30,000 members of the CTU have called for a contract that includes fair compensation, meaningful job security for qualified teachers, smaller class sizes and a better school day with Art, Music, World Language and appropriate staffing levels to help our neediest students.
On the other side, the Chicago Board of Education—which is managed by out of town reformers and Broad Foundation hires with little or no Chicago public school experience—has pushed to add two weeks to the school year and 85 minutes to the school day, eliminate pay increases for seniority, evaluate teachers based on student test scores, and slash many other rights.
Teachers, parents and community supporters in Chicago have fought valiantly—marching, filling auditoriums at hearings and parent meetings, even occupying a school and taking over a school board meeting. Most recently, 98 percent of our members voted to authorize a strike. But now we find ourselves facing new opponents—national education privatizers, backed by some of the nation's wealthiest people. They are running radio ads, increasing press attacks, and mounting a PR campaign to discredit the CTU and the benefits of public education.

Video from CORE and Labor Beat on history of Chicago teachers' strikes
CORE / Labor Beat (CIMC Repost)
Produced by CORE (the Caucus of Rank and File Educators of the Chicago Teachers Union) and Chicago's Labor Beat. Titled "CTU Strikes: 1968 - 1987", the video was made during the summer of 2012 in conjunction with the four CORE "Successful Chicago Strikes" forums. It is now up and available on YouTube.
The video contains interviews from retired Chicago Teachers Union members who participated in these strikes and historic archival visuals. Here is a 28 minute overview of the 1969-1987 period, as well as a brief summary of the years since then.
The video is available in DVD format from CORE for $10 (a part of this cost goes to build CORE and democracy in the CTU) from CORE
2. From Caucus of Rank and File Educators (CORE)
There is a video and news updates on this long overdue milestone strike.
As the first video states at the end, from 1987 to today, the Chicago Teachers Union had business union leadership. Now they have a determined chemistry teacher, Karen Lewis, elected from the ranks to lead this union, leading 26,000 teachers and staff (the school nurses belong to the teachers' union) on strike, in a school district of 400,000 children. The Chicago School Board is not elected; it is appointed by the mayor, who is Obama's buddy, Democrat Rahm Emanuel, a vicious anti-union privatization thug. The School Board is made up of wealthy people who have a vested interest in privatizing the schools via charter schools.
Ideally, the parents and the children can stay home, thereby shutting down Chicago in a general strike, long overdue. This country has allowed Democrats and Republicans to destroy it by never going on strike. That must end if humanity and the earth are to survive.
We need to see San Francisco Bay Area support for this important strike. No striker should go hungry or fail to pay their rent or mortgage.

Tools explained
I tried a search, but could not find this. My apologies if this has been posted before.
Tools Explained
DRILL PRESS : A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.
WIRE WHEEL : Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light . Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh sh--!'
SKILL SAW : A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.
PLIERS : Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.
BELT SANDER : An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.
HACKSAW : One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.
VISE-GRIPS : Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
OXYACETYLENE TORCH : Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.
TABLE SAW : A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.
HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK : Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes , trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.
BAND SAW : A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.
TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST : A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER : Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.
STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER : A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms..
PRY BAR : A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.
HOSE CUTTER : A tool used to make hoses too short.
HAMMER : Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
UTILITY KNIFE : Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.
SON-OF-A-B TOOL : (A personal favorite!!) Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son of a B!' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.
Hope you found this informative.
Thank You! I needed a good chuckle today!
Oddly enough, I have most of those tools, and have used them exactly as described!
I might add that Vise Grips make a dandy battery clamp that can create a direct short, and burn a hole in the paint of your truck hood. ...or so I've heard.
BENCH GRINDER : Used to remove calluses and other useless skin from knuckles and other hand joints.
CHAIN SAW : Replaces gym equipment for one-armed cable rows and general cardiovascular exercise
PLUMB BOB : A perpetual motion invention

I'm new here with a big problem (please help)
Hey everybody. New member here :)
Anyway, I have had a problem that I can't resolve in regards to my hair. I posted it over at longhaircommunity but nobody there could figure it out. It's really frustrating.. anyway, here's what it is! (sorry for the long read)
I decided that my hair was too dry to continue SLS shampoos (as well as silicons) a few months ago, so I tried out a few things- natural shampoos, ACV washes, and co-washes. They worked really well for a while. One product in particular was amazing- Matrix's Biolage Conditioning Balm. I couldn't believe how soft this stuff made my hair- as well as the way it looked. I'm a male (shaggy hair), so my hair is not really something i notice too much but this product stood out to me. I was so happy with how this, as well as not using SLS prodcuts, benefited my hair. I used a lot of this conditioner after my ACV washes or natural shampoo washes.
However, after about a month, I started noticing that my hair had a strange build-up in it, only on the top of my head (ya know, that spot where men usually start balding). My hair was lying flat and straight. I also noticed that my hair started to have a slight offensive smell to it. I tried washing this stuff out with my non-SLS methods but it wouldn't come out. Eventually it got worse and I couldn't take it anymore. My hair (usually wavy and thick) now felt waxy and straight. Keep in mind , this was only on the top of my head, on a few clumps of hair. I thought it was the dreaded "transition period" but the next thing i did proved this wrong.
I got fed up and gave in to SLS again. I washed my hair with "normal" SLS shampoo, expecting this stuff to come out- but it didn't. A few days later, I washed again, really drying out my hair. but it was still there the second i stepped out of the shower.
A month later, I have tried many many things-
washed with dish washing detergent; hot oil treatments; different SLS shampoos; baking soda washes; etc....
And my hair still has this in it!!! Even the second after washing with DISH WASHING DETERGENT, I looked in the mirror and it was still there!! This stuff won't come out! And it is now obvious that it's not jsut on the top part of my hair anymore. Now my hair everywhere has the feel/look of being overconditioned. It's straight, thin, waxy, and not clean feeling. My waves/curls are not defined or not even there for some matter. When I shake my head, my hair doesnt fly around like it used to before this.
What the hell do I do?!!?!?
I know this is really bad, but I tried scraping some of it out with a butter knife, and when i do, a white powder-type material comes off. It almost resembles a tiny particle of dust (btw- it's NOT dandruff).
This stuff is not on my scalp, just on my hair...
The only explanation I can come up with is that it was caused by the over-richness of the Biolage Conditioning Balm (knew it was too good to be true).
I'm guessing it kinda sealed my hair and made it un-permeable, because it won't wash out and sometimes my hair still smells funky after washing it with shampoo..
P.S- I'll post a pic if you all want.
This is a new one on me. I have NO CLUE what could build up that badly that dishwashing detergent wouldnt remove it.
Will be curious to see if anyone else has experienced this.
Sorry I cant help; good luck.
Here are some links. I am sure that you did a search online but I typed in about waxy build up on hair in different phrases and got different search results each time so maybe there is something here you haven't seen.
Hope one of these helps!
Hi Minorking09,
I have seen this before when I was back working as a hairstylist for several years ago. This is a waxy type buildup that can happen usually seen in babies,and some adults. I've found that the only thing that seemed to work for me was to apply an oil such as Olive oil to the scalp massage it in really well leave in hair for about 20 minutes then use a fine toothed comb to gently loosen and remove the waxy build up. Then just low poo or use a co-wash using it 2X and rinse out apply leave in if needed. You need to be careful of how your applying product to your hair when cleansing/conditioning it. Apply a quarter to fifty cent size ammount of co-wash to wet hair and scalp. Then add to palms and rub together working from the back of the neck forward massaging and working it in good as you go.
I know using oil on your scalp for this sounds weird but the oil is what loosens the waxy build up. Its actually sebum or hair oils that are accumulating and bonding to conditioner/shampoo residue on the scalp. If this helps but it still needs more of it removed repeat the steps and maybe add a shampoo to remove chlorine or swimmers hair shampoo. This tends to be harsh and drying so you'll need to condition it well afterward. I'd recommend rinsing thoroughly from now on to help. Probably 1X a week ACV rinse after co-wash and before final rinse out. The ACV removes any residue and brings the ph level back to the hair. ACV works well as an occasional rinsing agent and PH level adjustor.
I hope this info helps~:thumbright:
Holy sh*t , thanks so much Czechfan, lol I didn't think anyone would help me..
I will do what you mentioned with the oil. How fine of a comb should I use?
Also, if it helps but I need to do it again like you mentioned, is it okay to do it right after? Or should I wait a few days? (please don't tell me I have to wait, lol)
oh yeah - babies get that! good catch!
i tried it... didn't work
by the way, i've done the oil thing twice already lol so although I was hopeful that it would work, I wasn't surprised.
I'm sorry that it didn't work. I've used this method in the past on clients and my own kids and it did work. Maybe try a dandruff shampoo. The olive oil won't hurt your hair it will be pre poo type conditioning treatment, or like a hot oil treatment. Regarding the fine tooth comb. Just a regular comb with the teeth really close together. The trick is to have the oil loosen up the sebum buildup and using the fine toothed comb to loosen it further and gently work it off the scalp in the affected area. Please don't use dishwashing detergent on your hair its way harsh and will strip it of any moisture and make your hair dry and frizzy.
I wish you luck with resolving this and maybe give the dandruff shampoo a try, just something like tegrin, head and shoulders, or selsun blue. This could be a case of seborrea dermatitis. It just means that the sebum is building up in a area, its nothing serious or to worry about dandruff shampoos particularly Tegrin or Selsun Blue would be good choices for that. I think Selsun now has a natural type line.
Take care:hello2:
I would go to a dermatologist. Good luck.
I agree dermatologist.
Keep in mind that sebum works in supply and demand so when you over stimulate the scalp it will produce more sebum. so when you do the above treatments make sure you do them as gently as possible and try not to do them too much. Also try mixing some Tea tree oil in with them.
This has got to be frustrating, good luck to you.
I really don't think it's something that I would have to see a dermatologist for.. I am blaming it on the combination of going low-poo and using so much of the Biolage Conditioning Balm..
Anyway, are there any treatments (someone suggested a Malibu treatment?) that I can buy to help with this? Hot oil treatments aren't helping..
I don't know what kind of water you have, but you really could be having a product/water build up. If the malibu someone else mentioned is the same as the malibu I'm thinking, its probably for hard water.
However, since you have sooo much build up, I'm not sure one washing will get rid of it. Find a good clarifying shampoo with citric acid in it. Or sally's has a hard water shampoo as well. I have very hard water and use Kenra Clarifying shampoo. Make sure if you go find one it says it removes "mineral" build up. Not just chlorine.
What czechfan said made sense, but since the oil wouldn't remove it, then it could be like limescale, only on your head, and oil definitely won't remove that. You can try using the clarifying shampoo for a week or two.
Or the first couple of times you use the shampoo, leave it soaking on your head for 5 mins to help dissolve the build up. Vinegar is also good to help dissolve hard water build up.
I don't see how it can be water build up as i've been washing with the same water for years with no problems.. I just don't think it's a coincidence that this occurered at the same time as when I started switching hair washing methods/products lol.
I don't mean just water build up, its water in combination with certain products that causes the build up. Which would be why its happening since you changed products. See what I mean?
If there is nothing on your scalp, only on your hair, there is no point in seeing a dermathologist.
However, a hairdresser might be able to help!
Otherwise... shave it off? Cut it?
at the risk of sounding silly, which clarifying shampoos? If you have hard water, and they contain a form of soap, castille or whatever, you're not clarifying, you're making it worse. Soap bars will make it worse. Anything with a soap type product. You need to use something with a chemical surfactant rather than a soap. Most "natural" shampoos are made out of liquid soap.
However, if its a detergent and its got citric acid in it, then I don't know what else to tell you. Sorry :(
OK I'll take a guess.
If it's a hard-water-and-soap buildup then I don't know that there is anything that can remove it without removing your hair. Because when that stuff gets on the tub it takes phosphoric acid to remove it, and that would not be safe or healthy on your hair.
If it's wax, it may be a matter of sitting there scraping it off, then the oil and comb sounds best, get someone to help and get a flea or nit comb, something super-small-tooth, section your hair and scrape it off.
As my mom says, worst case scenario usually is you shave your head and it grows back, that's the good thing about hair.

AAA Toledo Mud Hens – BUFFALO 4, TOLEDO 0
6-7, 3rd in West division
For the second time in three games the Toledo Mud Hens were shutout with a 4-0 loss against Buffalo Wednesday morning at Fifth Third Field. Brent Clevlen, Kevin Hooper and Timo Perez each recorded a hit for the 'Hens who combined for nine strikeouts Wednesday, the same number they had Monday when they were also shut out. But the strikeouts might be better credited to the Bisons impressive pitching. Bison starting pitcher Jason Stanford (2-0, 0.00 E.R.A) was lights out with his second shutout win of the season. Stanford retired seven batters on strikes, while only allowing one hit and two walks in seven innings pitched. Perez's ninth inning single extended his hitting streak to 12 games. As of Tuesday Perez led the International league in hits (16) and runs scored (11). The loss was credited to Dennis Tankersley (2-1, 4.02 E.R.A.) after the right-hander allowed two earned runs off of six hits and three walks in four and one-third innings pitched. Tankersley also recorded three strikeouts. The Mud Hens will return to action against the Bisons (8-2) at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Fifth Third Field. Right-hander Yorman Bazardo (0-1, 13.50) will get the start for the Mud Hens.

Bonine allowed six hits and one earned run while walking one and striking out four. Danny Zell took the loss for the SeaWolves allowing the winning run in the tenth after getting out of a jam in the bottom of the ninth. The SeaWolves lone bright spot offensively was Matt Joyce who had two of Erie's four hits. Joyce was 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI. The SeaWolves will return home on Thursday at 6:35 p.m. after completeing a seven game road trip.

A+ Lakeland Flying Tigers –FT. MYERS 7, LAKELAND 4
5-8, 5th in West division
The Lakeland Flying Tigers and starting pitcher Luke French fell to the Ft. Myers Miracle Wednesday night, 7-4. French pitched five innings and surrendered five runs. Highlighting the offense for Lakeland was a solo home run by Ryan Roberson in the 5th inning. Ovandy Suero, Wilkin Ramirez, and Mark Haske each registered an RBI as well. Top prospect Cameron Maybin batted 0-2 with one strikeout, but also walked three times. The Flying Tigers next game is at home against Dunedin on Thursday night at 7 PM. Starting pitchers have yet to be announced. Eleazar Aponte will most likely make the start for Lakeland, while Robert Ray will get the nod for Dunedin.

A West Mich. Whitecaps – W. MICH. 4, CLINTON 3

Gorkys Hernandez had three base hits. The third game of the four game series versus Clinton is Thursday at 6:35 p.m.

it sound s to me like your gun needs a good cleaning, with the pattern you are getting you may have to clean out the air nozzle
look at the front end and see if all of your air holes are cleaned out,
that is the first thing top look at if you are getting a "C" patern. as for all that metalic "TECH i can't help you much. i just lay down one very light coast letting it flash. and while waiting i watch the flake and see if it is laying down. if it aint then i add some more reducer. for the next light coat. if the flake lays down , then after the flash I hit it medium wet. and take a coffee break ............... then come back and give it a wet coat,
I"m not familar with youir specific paint, but this method was taught to me by an old fart , who could really NAIL it every time.. and it has worked for me since then.
BUt take a good look at that spray nozzle.. even if ya need a magnifyin' glass , get all them lil' holes spickin span cleaned out.
later in that dark cold garage,

Dr. Tiny Cat! Thank God you're here!

Inspired by the I Can Has Cheesburger meme, cartoonist Jessica Hickman (Space Quint) has occasionally been posting a series of Dr. Tiny Cat comics like this one:
Others in the series feature Dr. Tiny Cat pulling an all-nighter, catching a nap between rounds, and attending a lecture. That last one's my favorite, but they're all hilariously cute. I hope there's more coming.

London's Finsbury Park -- a closer look
The area of London where a vehicle hit pedestrians early Monday local time is ethnically diverse and home to a large Muslim community
The area of London where a vehicle hit pedestrians early Monday local time is ethnically diverse and home to a large Muslim community
The area of London where a vehicle hit pedestrians early Monday local time is ethnically diverse and home to a large Muslim community.
Finsbury Park is part of the Islington borough of north London, where around 10% (19,500) of the borough's total population are Muslim. According to the 2011 Census, half the population in the borough is aged under 25 are from nonwhite ethnic backgrounds.
Eyewitness Cynthia Vanzella said it was a mixed community, with people from many different countries and cultures. "We all live perfectly fine," she said.
"I never saw anything nowhere close to this happen at all. We have a church in one road, an evangelic church in another and a mosque across the road as well. And everybody ... lives fine. We never had any problem at all in here."
Islington's Seven Sisters Road area -- the scene of the attack -- is home to at least four mosques, and would have likely been filled with worshipers leaving late-night taraweeh prayers -- special prayers during the holy month of Ramadan -- and heading back towards the Finsbury Park Underground station.
Arsenal Football Club's Emirates Stadium is located close by, while further up Seven Sisters Road is the green space of Finsbury Park, which opened in 1869 and gives the area its name.
But Finsbury Park Mosque, an unassuming five-story redbrick building opposite the station, which opened in 1994, has been the area's most famous venue in recent years.
Finsbury Park Mosque
The mosque, which today operates largely as a community center, rose to international notoriety in the early 2000s, due to its links with Egyptian-born radical cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri.
Al-Masri, who was the mosque's imam from 1997 to 2003, was later extradited to the United States, where he was convicted of supporting al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists, and sentenced to life in prison in 2015.
Among those known to have worshipped at the mosque during al-Masri's time at the mosque were alleged shoe-bomber Richard Reid, and Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called "20th hijacker" of September 11.
Since al-Masri's time it has come under new management and CNN correspondent Phil Black says over the past 10 years it has "worked very hard at becoming a healthy, active member of the community."
Hate mail
However, he says British media have carried reports of mosque members being the victims of hate mail and threats and being targeted by extreme far-right protest groups and anti-Islam groups.
"There has been this concern within the community, this concern within the mosque itself particularly over the years as it has worked to try and reshape its reputation to try and shed that reputation for extremism, for contributing to extremist thought, ideology and indeed perhaps violent acts."
The Muslim Council of Britain, an advocacy group for the country's Muslim community, said in a Monday tweet that the incident took place near the Muslim Welfare House -- on the opposite side of the road -- not outside the Finsbury Park Mosque itself.
Islington's northern part is represented in Parliament by Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party.
Corbyn expressed sympathy in the wake of the vehicle collision.
"I'm totally shocked at the incident at Finsbury Park tonight. I've been in touch with the mosques, police and Islington council regarding the incident. My thoughts are with those and the community affected by this awful event," he said on Twitter.

Is China Cooking the Books?
China's official economic statistics are diverging from the private sector.
Outside observers have long complained about the quality of official economic statistics from China but according to Asia Sentinel, the disconnect between what multinational corporations are reporting from China and what the Communist party is touting is growing sharper:
The assembled date, Walker says, indicate that 2012 was significantly weaker than either 2008 or 2009, even though the official GDP numbers show only a marginal tapering off.
"Demand in the real economy was as weak as the picture painted by our PMI and electricity production indicators," Walker writes. "Tax receipts and corporate earnings, not to mention what we know of cash flows in the first half of last year, also indicate the slowest economy in the last half decade, and not by a marginal amount."
Most of these figures show that the boom most China Bulls discovered in the second half of 2012, and the fourth quarter in particular, isn't there.
The Walker quoted above is Dr. John Walker of Asianomics. He has pegged China's real growth rate for 2013 at between zero and four percent. Official Chinese estimates are closer to eight percent.

Changing Dewpoints - Product Suggestions??
soo think i have figured out that humectants are not for me in dry weather which is right now....possibly ok in spring....def ok in summer....but then if theres a summer thats crazy humid its a no go again....so can any of you help me with the suggestion of a product line or just products that are good for all dewpoints/seasons?? like whens the best time to use what kind of conditioner? i hope im making sense. thanks so much!!
I like my Mop Top conditioner, KBB Nectar as leave-in and Fuzzy Duck gel once the dewpoint hits 35. I'll have to wait and see what happens this year, but if I'm remembering correctly, I think once the dewpoint starts getting close to 60, I have to cut back on the glycerin or my hair looks wet all the time, which I don't like.
does it matter that i have very porous hair? i think i read somewhere that i should avoid humectants at all times...
I also have very porous hair and I only avoid humectants when the it's very dry (the dewpoint is low) or when it's extremely high (like over 60 or 70). I'm also watching how much I use when it gets over 55 because I don't like my hair looking wet.

7. Install KB834707 from MS Website
You may need to create this disk using another computer, you should also google slipstream servicepack and look for the most generic instructions that aren't tied too closely to a specific CD burning package (unless you have that package). Naturally, you should backup critical data before installation.

Scope and Content Note
Plaque at Tiger Town commemorating site of Lodwick School
The Lodwick School of Aeronautics Oral History Collection consists of transcripts, audiotapes, and videotapes of interviews conducted with students, instructors and staff of the the Lodwick School of Aeronautics, a primary flight training school located in Lakeland, Florida. The school, owned by aviation executive Albert Lodwick, trained British and American pilots for service in World War II.
The interviews were conducted by Lakeland Public Library Special Collections Librarian Hal Hubener in conjunction with the publication of a book and an exhibit documenting the school on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of its opening. Many staff and students had returned to Lakeland for the occasion, and Hubener took the opportunity to interview them about their experiences at the school and later, during World War II.
The collection was divided into three series: Transcripts/Releases, Audiotapes, and Videotapes.
Series I, Transcripts/Releases, includes typed transcripts of interviews with some of the students, instructors and staff of the Lodwick School of Aeronautics. There are signed release forms accompanying some, but not all, of the transcripts. Copies of the transcripts can be seen here.
Series II, Audiotapes, consists of audiotapes of the above described interviews with students, staff, and instructors.
Series III, Videotapes, consists of 2 videotapes of interviews of Lodwick School of Aeronautics students, instructors, and staff.
There are several other related collections among the holdings of the Special Collections unit. They include the following: the Albert I. Lodwick Papers, RG2700; the Albert I. Lodwick Photograph Collection, P700; the Daniel Bridges Collection of Lodwick Memorabilia, P708; the Lodwick Memorabilia/Photograph Collection, P710; and the W. W. Tomlinson Collection, RG2701.

Old British naval wreck may hold $1 billion in gold
By Stefano Ambrogi
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - U.S. salvage teams said on Monday they had found the wreck of a British naval ship which sank in 1744 and may still be laden with a cargo of gold coins now worth over a billion dollars.
Florida-based Odyssey Marine Exploration Inc said it had discovered the remains of the HMS Victory, the pride of the British fleet before it was lost in a storm with more than 900 crew aboard somewhere in the Channel between England and France.
The man-of-war, which took its complement of over 110 bronze cannons to a watery grave, was the predecessor to the ship commanded by Admiral Horatio Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
"Finding this shipwreck has solved one of the greatest shipwreck mysteries in history," said Gregg Stemm, Odyssey's chief executive officer.
"There is some very strong evidence that there are some valuables on this wreck which may create a bit of a free for all and we just hope we will be able to keep the site hidden," Stemm told a press conference in London.
He said Odyssey had kept the find secret for nine months while it negotiated with the British government over salvage rights and how to proceed in examining the site.
"Fortunately, this shipwreck is not in waters claimed by any other country, so we do not expect any interference in further exploration of the site," Stemm said.
Odyssey discovered the site nearly 100 km (62 miles) from where the ship was believed to have been wrecked on a reef near the Channel Islands. It has not disclosed a more precise location. Continued...

Danchev Leads Crowe, Fair w/ 21 Left in PCA Main Event
$1.85 million is on the table for the winner at the 2013 PCA and just 21 players are left to chase it, headed by Bulgarian Dimitar Danchev and online pros Owen Crowe, Ryan Fair and Yann Dion.
Danchev, who scooped the chip lead by busting Day 3 chip leader Patrick Kelly about five minutes before the end of the day, will take 4,080,000 into Day 5 tomorrow.
With a runner-up finish at EPT San Remo in 2011, Danchev is no stranger to deep runs and will be tough to knock off his substantial stack.
Crowe, a Canadian pro with an impressive list of cashes live and online, bagged 2.5m to sit second but might have been the leader if not for a rough turn of the cards. Crowe got it in good with KK against Andrey Shatilov's AK late but five spades on the board chopped up the 2.8m-chip pot.
Fair, the 2010 SCOOP Main Event champion as "toetagU," holds down the third spot with 2.49 million.
Dion, yet another online grinder with an impressive career of big cashes, holds down fourth with 2.29 million. He has a shot at making a month of poker that already includes an FTOPS Main Event win for $450k and a Sunday Million final table even more memorable.
Rounding out a truly tough top 5 is veteran pro Robert "Bro Grinder" Mizrachi with 1.99 million.
Blomlie, Sabat, Busquet In Contention
Other notables sticking around in the final 21 players include rising Norwegian star Mikal "Mikal12345" Blomlie (1.35 million), Eddy Sabat (714,000), heads-up superstar Olivier Busquet (593,000), Darren Elias (548,000) and EPT Grand Final champ Mohsin Charania as the true short stack (140,000).
Sabat has made the final 40 of the PCA $10k three years running.
The top 10 in chips heading into Day 5:
- 1. Dimitar Danchev 4,080,000
- 2. Owen Crowe 2,500,000
- 3. Ryan Fair 2,496,000
- 4. Yann Dion 2,296,000
- 5. Robert Mizrachi 1,990,000
- 6. Michael Lipman 1,562,000
- 7. Andrey Shatilov 1,494,000
- 8. Joel Micka 1,409,000
- 9. Matthew Reed 1,375,000
- 10. Jerry Wong 1,370,000
Serock, Katchalov Fall Short
The list of notables hoping to make Day 5 was long but most couldn't make it happen.
Pro Joe Serock, one of the Day 3 chip leaders, lasted the longest before finally falling in 26th for a $47,000 cash.
Making it the furthest from Team PokerStars was Eugene Katchalov. Rarely getting many chips to work with throughout the tournament, Katchalov managed to make it all the way to 29th and a $47,000 payday of his own.
Also dropping out just shy of the final day were Carlos Mortensen, Greg Mueller and newly named PokerStars pros Jake Cody and Tatiana Barausova.
Action picks up tomorrow at noon and will play down to a final table of eight. Follow along with the live updates on the PokerStars blog and catch the final table streaming on Saturday.
The $25k High Roller event also kicks off tomorrow with a large field expected.

Nestle is not a corporation that treads lightly on a place — especially Maine, where its tentacles infiltrate the politics so deeply, it seems it's not possible for a decision to be made by political people untouched by the company. Witness this story from the Press Herald:
FRYEBURG – When the Maine Public Utilities Commission this week takes up a controversial 25-year contract between the company that owns the Poland Spring brand and the family-controlled utility that supplies its water, it will do so under troubling and unprecedented circumstances: All three PUC commissioners, as well as the state's public advocate, have ties to the company.
If you can't tell, this is my shocked look.
"Every commissioner on the PUC has been touched by Nestle," said Fryeburg resident Scot Montgomery, who manages a restaurant kitchen in the nearby White Mountains and has been involved in local water issues. "Everyone who's supposed to be looking out for the ratepayers, communities, and resource seems to have this other interest."
While many at the state and PUC level go to great pains to say they believe the commissioners and public advocate aren't biased, it's largely impossible to believe that someone who once had a financial interest in Nestle's success can now be expected to turn around and render an unconflicted decision.
And let's be clear — in public proceedings, the mere appearance of a conflict of interest should be avoided. In this case, the conflicts are real (and financial in at least one case), yet at least one commissioner has yet to recuse himself despite having had a hand in preparing the very same situation he's being asked to vote on.
The Fryeburg Deal: Controversial From The Start
The Press Herald's Colin Woodward writes one of the most cogent explanations of Nestle's involvement in Fryeburg's water system, which isn't without its shadier elements:
Fryeburg Water Co., which serves Fryeburg and East Conway, N.H., is unusual in that it is a privately held water utility. (About 15 percent of the nation's water utilities are privately held.) It was founded in 1883, but by the 1990s the majority of the shares were held by members of the Hastings family, whose patriarch, Hugh Hastings, has served as company president since 1969 and as an officer since 1950.
Recognizing that Fryeburg had excellent water — the result of quartz-rich geology and clean, copious runoff from the Presidential Range in the White Mountains — Hastings hoped some could be profitably sold to bottlers. But in the interest of fairness, the PUC prohibits utilities from selling water to any entity at a higher price than it charges its ordinary customers, so Hastings and a business partner, Eric Carlson of the engineering firm Woodard & Curran, came up with a workaround.
In 1997, Hastings and Carlson created a company, Pure Mountain Springs, that bought water from the utility at its ordinary rate and sold it to Nestle Waters at a much higher — but undisclosed — rate. Pure Mountain Springs was headed by Hugh's son, John, who shared ownership with Carlson. PUC filings show Hugh Hastings maintained power of attorney over his son for the first five years of the company's operation.
Between 2003 and 2007, previous PUC proceedings revealed, this pass-through entity had revenues of $3 million and paid Fryeburg Water Co. $700,000 in rents and water fees. Hastings wrote in 2004 that the initial capital financing was "over $100,000."
"Fryeburg's water had the right geological recipe for Poland Spring," said Mark Dubois, Nestle Waters' Maine-based natural resource manager. "But it also had entrepreneurs who saw the spring and invested in their business and started selling that water to us. Here was a willing seller; we were a willing buyer."
Cliff Hall, a longtime opponent of Nestle's operations who served on Fryeburg's Board of Selectmen from 2007 to 2010, takes a dimmer view of the situation. "They set up a nepotistic arrangement which bypassed the (utilities) laws that say if you take an excessive amount of money, you're supposed to reinvest it in infrastructure," he said. "It seems to me this was a dummy company set up … to take the money and put it back in the Hastings' trust."
Others share these concerns. "A public utility is supposed to do the best they can for the customers, the public and the municipality," adds Bill Harriman, one of four Fryeburg-area residents who have formally intervened in the current PUC case. "And if you look at what these guys were doing back then, they weren't looking out for the people of Fryeburg."
Which brings us to the heart of the issue. Nestle — one of the world's largest (and most distrusted) corporations — is a lot better at watching out for itself than the small towns it preys on.

the right time have second child?
I'm now 32 years old and my first child is 8 month old. I plan to get pregnant again after my baby is 2 years old (finish breastfeeding). That means I'll give birth when I'm around 35 --vulnerable age to have problems during pregnancy. I don't think I can handle it if I have to get pregnant again while I'm still breastfeeding. I'm a working mum. What should I do? Thanks.

Touch of Evil [DVD] [Restored Version]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
Theatrical release: February 1958, without being previewed for critics. Filmed in Venice, California, which doubled for Los Robles. Rehearsals began on February 9, 1957; shooting began on February 18 and wrapped on April 2. TOUCH OF EVIL was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1993. TOUCH OF EVIL was reedited in 1998 based on a 58-page memo that Orson Welles had written to studio head Ed Muhl after Welles's initial displeasure with the original release. The new version was put together by producer Rick Schmidlin and editor Walter Murch, based on the memo that was first written about in a Film Quarterly article by Jonathan Rosenbaum. In the memo, Welles wrote, "I am passing on to you a reaction based on my conviction as to what my picture ought to be, but only what here strikes me as significantly mistaken in your picture." The long tracking shot that starts the movie was mimicked in Robert Altman's THE PLAYER. Welles was even prouder of the long take in the scene in Sanchez's apartment--which was completed on the first day of shooting. Orson Welles was not supposed to be the director, but as a result of a misunderstanding on the part of Charlton Heston, the producer put him at the helm--but paid him no more money. Marlene Dietrich gives a terrifically subtle performance as Tanya. Her character was not in the original script, but Welles added her at the last moment, telling her she should look "dark," as she did in GOLDEN EARRINGS. When the studio saw the rushes that included her, they were shocked. Zsa Zsa Gabor also makes a brief cameo as the nightclub owner. She is called a "Special Guest Star" in the credits, along with Dietrich. Regarding his heavy makeup, Welles said, "...padded stomach and back, sixty pounds of it, old-age stuff. When I came into the house, before I had a chance to explain that I had to get upstairs and take my makeup off, all these people came up and said, 'Hi, Orson! Gee, you're looking great!'" Welles, who rewrote the script in just a matter of days, did not read the novel on which it was based until after he had completed the film. A number of Mercury Theatre veterans appear in the film. A virtually unrecognizable Joseph Cotten plays the medical examiner. Gus Schilling, who played Goldie in THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI, makes a brief appearance as Eddie Farnum. And Ray Collins, Jim Gettys from CITIZEN KANE, plays District Attorney Adair. Welles wrote the character of Menzies for Lloyd Bridges, but the studio rejected that choice. He was ultimately thrilled with the work of Joseph Calleia, who played Menzies in the film. After Welles believed the film was complete, the studio brought in Harry Keller to shoot some more scenes that the studio felt were necessary. The retakes were shot on November 19. Hearing about the new shoot, Welles wrote two letters to Heston nearly demanding he not participate. In the first letter he wrote, "UNLESS THE STUDIO IS STOPPED THEY ARE GOING TO WRECK OUR PICTURE--AND I MEAN WRECK IT....THE RESULT WILL BE GENUINELY BAD." Heston was in a tough spot because he had invested money in the production. Meanwhile, Welles was not even allowed back on the Universal lot. He said, "I was so sure I was going to go on making a lot of pictures at Universal, when suddenly I was fired from the lot." When TOUCH OF EVIL premiered as the second half of a double bill, the main feature was THE FEMALE ANIMAL, directed by Harry Keller. Regarding the original released version of the film, Welles told Peter Bogdanovich, "[T]hey didn't absolutely murder it. I was very sorry about the things they did, but the story was still roughly intact when they finished. That wasn't true of ARKADIN, which was just made meaningless by the cutting." The film screened at the Brussels World's Fair on June 8, 1958, and won the top prize from a jury that included Jean-Luc Godard and Franois Truffaut.

"...Classic noir's final shout pits Orson Welles and Charlton Heston as rival investigators..."
Total Film
"[A] masterful wallow in noir....[Welles] inhabits another outsize monster who somehow evokes the viewer's sympathy."
"Orson Welles's 1958 TOUCH OF EVIL is a work of slippery precision, a picture whose seductiveness is only enhanced by its refusal to surrender fully to our grasp."

Facebook Creates
Hybrid Button!
There's a little confusion about Facebook's announcement regarding changes to their like button… but what it spells is win!
A big problem bloggers have faced is the need to have TWO Facebook buttons – the like button and the share button – for different purposes on their blog… and the realization that most visitors will only use one of them.
Fortunately though when the "like button" was introduced it quickly became obvious that the "like button" and the "share button" were sharing counters. This lead to a lot of speculation that Facebook recently proved was correct.
Facebook has announced that they are changing the way the like button works so that after an individual clicks like they will have a blurb on their wall that looks similar to the share button…with thumbnail, meta description, title and link. This is VERY powerful!
What is different is that it does not appear that the individual can write a custom message to go with the submission which will still say "So and so likes a link from so and so" when they click the like button.
This all goes hand in hand with the increase in site exposure that comes with the new comment box script/plugin.
This does mean that visitors can no longer like something and have it make only a single line entry in their profile – but it's a massive increase in exposure for the site. Now the like button is "essentially" the share button.
This is supposed to already be in place, but I have seen it affecting my existing like button that I have embedded using their script code and I have not yet seen it impacting most of the plugin based like buttons so it is obviously still slowly being released.
Facebook has indicated that this is a "test" but due to the wide spread nature of the rollout and the type of announcement it is unlikely that this is going to be reverted as it is something we have anticipated for a while.
Will this impact your willingness to click on the like button? How do you feel this will impact your site traffic?

Two years ago, Congress yanked subsidies for risky coastal flood-insurance policies. Lawmakers recently gave them back.
Another Olympian jumps into the climate fight, this time with a slightly depressed ice crystal.
Business leaders say they're serious about taking the climate fight to Washington. But judging from the friends they're making there, global warming isn't their most pressing concern.
In a sign of things to come, the Olympic racecourses are turning to mush. Will the athletes take a stand?
More than 100 Olympic athletes have signed a statement calling for a meaningful international climate treaty. Here's hoping world leaders are listening.
If we continue to crank up the heat, there will be no skiing at all in Park City, Utah, by the end of the century. In an average year, there will be no snow.
Coastal residents are irate about rising flood insurance premiums. But the next time the sea crushes the coast, the taxpayers may not be able to pick up the bill.
Clouds — or a shortage of them — could send the climate into a tailspin. The trouble is, it's almost impossible to predict what they'll do.
Lawmakers are retreating on basic reforms when they should be looking to the future, and creating even more dramatic changes.

Team Guzman: No Robbery
There has been a lot of talk and criticiscm of this past Saturday nights vacant IBF lightweight bout between former two-division world champion Joan Guzman and now two-time world title challenger Ali Funeka. The official scores were 116-112, 114-114, 114-114 leaving the bout a draw. Many felt that Funeka clearly won the bout. HBO's Bob Papa called the result "…curious and absurd," and HBO's unofficial judge Harold Lederman had Funeka winning by a comfortable margin. Funeka's promoter Gary Shaw stated, "Ali got screwed and he didn't even get kissed….We must stop robbing fighters, sending them home with nothing but shattered dreams instead of the rewards they earned in the ring." Guzman's Manager Jose Nunez spoke out in defense of his fighter and delivered the following statement.
"I recommend all who are disputing the draw watch the fight with no volume and you will see why you can make a case for the bout being scored a draw. Funeka closed the fight strong. There is no doubt about that but he did not dominate Guzman for 12 rounds nor did Guzman dominate him for 12 rounds. There are 12 rounds in world championship fight and you have to score all 12 rounds including the early rounds.
"I don't think anyone will argue Guzman won the first two rounds. 3,4,5 were close rounds. So if the judges give those close rounds to Guzman then you're looking at Guzman possibly up 4-1 meaning at that point of the fight Guzman would need to win just 2 rounds of the remaining 7 to earn a draw. As far as Guzman being bloodied. Last I checked you don't score points or winning rounds on how much someone is bleeding. There was no 10-8 rounds scored to my knowledge and Guzman was never knocked down.
"Also don't play too much into Compubox numbers as all you need is a few dominant rounds where you outscore your opponent with punches in bunches connected, whether they are effective punches are not. You can easily have the lead on Compubox numbers over the course of an entire fight even though you have not won more rounds than your opponent.
"That's what happened in the first fight between Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor. Some complained Hopkins was robbed because of his bad history with Taylor's promoter Lou DiBella since DiBella had a good relationship with HBO but that wasn't the case at all. Hopkins wasn't really that busy the first half of that fight but closed strong and was well ahead on the Compubox numbers at the end. Taylor didn't do a lot himself early but he was busier than Hopkins in the early rounds which enabled Taylor to win a lot of the early rounds.
"That's the point I'm trying to make you have to score all the rounds in the fight. Thats how you get these wide scores on scorecards sometimes in a competively fought fights. If you don't clearly dominate a round it leaves the door open for a judge to score the round even or the other way. I have no issues with the judges scoring this fight a draw.
"I have 100% confidence in Guzman and I will accept a rematch on the same terms 50/50 split but will demand an experienced referee who will penalize Funeka should elbow or headbutt Guzman. Replay video doesn't lie and you will see Funeka's headbutt of Guzman clearly. There is no controversy here and this isn't a situation that is hurtful to boxing. Let's not get carried away. It's not that deep."

A statement to the press from the Free Gaza Movement
Any action designed to harm civilians constitutes collective punishment (in the Palestinians' case, for voting the "wrong" way) and is both illegal under international law and profoundly immoral. Our mission is to expose the illegality of Israel's actions, and to break through the siege in order to express our solidarity with the suffering people of Gaza (and of the occupied Palestinian territory as a whole) and to create a free and regular channel between Gaza and the outside world.
I hope that the Israeli government understands that harming any of these activists (which, by the way, include a Holocaust survivor) would be the worst PR blunder they could make, and that the eyes of the world's truly free press will be unblinking as these volunteers make their way to Gaza.

'Watch out! You nearly broad sided that car!' My father yelled at me. 'Can't you do anything right?'
Those words hurt worse than blows. I turned my head toward the elderly man in the seat beside me, daring me to challenge him. A lump rose in my throat as I averted my eyes. I wasn't prepared for another battle.
'I saw the car, Dad. Please don't yell at me when I'm driving.' My voice was measured and steady, sounding far calmer than I really felt. Dad glared at me, then turned away and settled back.
At home I left Dad in front of the television and went outside to collect my thoughts. Dark, heavy clouds hung in the air with a promise of rain. The rumble of distant thunder seemed to echo my inner turmoil. What could I do about him?
Dad had been a lumberjack in Washington and Oregon. He had enjoyed being outdoors and had reveled in pitting his strength against the forces of nature. He had entered grueling lumberjack competitions, and had placed often. The shelves in his house were filled with trophies that attested to his prowess.
The years marched on relentlessly. The first time he couldn't lift a heavy log, he joked about it; but later that same day I saw him outside alone, straining to lift it. He became irritable whenever anyone teased him about his advancing age, or when he couldn't do something he had done as a younger man.
Four days after his sixty-seventh birthday, he had a heart attack. An ambulance sped him to the hospital while a paramedic administered CPR to keep blood and oxygen flowing. At the hospital, Dad was rushed into an operating room. He was lucky; he survived.
But something inside Dad died. His zest for life was gone. He obstinately refused to follow doctor's
orders. Suggestions and offers of help were turned aside with sarcasm and insults. The number of visitors thinned, then finally stopped altogether. Dad was left alone.
My husband, Dick, and I asked Dad to come live with us on our small farm. We hoped the fresh air and rustic atmosphere would help him adjust.
Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. It seemed nothing was satisfactory. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated and moody. Soon I was taking my pent-up anger out on Dick. We began to bicker and argue.
Alarmed, Dick sought out our pastor and explained the situation. The clergyman set up weekly
counseling appointments for us. At the close of each session he prayed, asking God to soothe Dad's troubled mind. But the months wore on and God was silent. Something had to be done and it was up to me to do it.
The next day I sat down with the phone book and methodically called each of the mental health clinics listed in the Yellow Pages. I explained my problem to each of the sympathetic voices that answered.
In vain. just when I was giving up hope, one of the voices suddenly exclaimed, 'I just read something that might help you! Let me go get the article.' I listened as she read.
The article described a remarkable study done at a nursing home. All of the patients were under
treatment for chronic depression. Yet their attitudes had improved dramatically when they were given responsibility for a dog.
I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. After I filled out a questionnaire, a uniformed officer led me to the kennels. The odor of disinfectant stung my nostrils as I moved down the row of pens. Each contained five to seven dogs. Long-haired dogs, curly-haired dogs, black dogs, spotted dogs all jumped up, trying to reach me.
I studied each one but rejected one after the other for various reasons –too big, too small, too much hair. As I neared the last pen a dog in the shadows of the far corner struggled to his feet, walked to the front of the run and sat down.
It was a pointer, one of the dog world's aristocrats. But this was a caricature of the breed. Years had etched his face and muzzle with shades of gray. His hipbones jutted out in lopsided triangles. But it was his eyes that caught and held my attention. Calm and clear, they beheld me unwaveringly.
I pointed to the dog. 'Can you tell me about him?' The officer looked, then shook his head in puzzlement. 'He's a funny one. Appeared out of nowhere and sat in front of the gate. We brought him in, figuring someone would be right down to claim him. That was two weeks ago and we've heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.' He gestured helplessly.
As the words sank in I turned to the man in horror. 'You mean you're going to kill him?' Ma'am,' he said gently, 'that's our policy. We don't have room for every unclaimed dog.'
I looked at the pointer again. The calm brown eyes awaited my decision. 'I'll take him,' I said.
I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. When I reached the house I honked the horn twice. I was helping my prize out of the car when Dad shuffled onto the front porch. 'Ta-daa! Look what I got for you, Dad!' I said excitedly.
Dad looked, then wrinkled his face in disgust. 'If I had wanted a dog I would have gotten one. And I would have picked out a better specimen than that bag of bones. Keep it! I don't want it' Dad waved his arm scornfully and turned back toward the house.
Anger rose inside me. It squeezed together my throat muscles and pounded into my temples. 'You'd better get used to him, Dad. He's staying!'
Dad ignored me. 'Did you hear me, Dad?' I screamed.
At those words Dad whirled angrily, his hands clenched at his sides, his eyes narrowed and blazing with hate. We stood glaring at each other like duelists, when suddenly the pointer pulled free from my grasp.
He wobbled toward my dad and sat down in front of him. Then slowly, carefully, he raised his paw.
Dad's lower jaw trembled as he stared at the uplifted paw. Confusion replaced the anger in his eyes.
The pointer waited patiently.
Then Dad was on his knees hugging the animal. it was the beginning of a warm and intimate
friendship. Dad named the pointer Cheyenne. Together he and Cheyenne explored the community.
They spent long hours walking down dusty lanes. They spent reflective moments on the banks of streams, angling for tasty trout. They even started to attend Sunday services together, Dad sitting in a pew and Cheyenne lying quietly at his feet.
Dad and Cheyenne were inseparable throughout the next three years. Dad's bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne made many friends. Then late one night I was startled to feel Cheyenne's cold nose burrowing through our bed covers.
He had never before come into our bedroom at night. I woke Dick, put on my robe and ran into my father's room. Dad lay in his bed, his face serene. But his spirit had left quietly sometime during the night.
Two days later my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad's bed. I wrapped his still form in the rag rug he had slept on. As Dick and I buried him near a favorite fishing hole, I silently thanked the dog for the help he had given me in restoring Dad's peace of mind.
The morning of Dad's funeral dawned overcast and dreary. This day looks like the way I feel, I thought, as I walked down the aisle to the pews reserved for family. I was surprised to see the many friends Dad and Cheyenne had made filling the church. The pastor began his eulogy.
It was a tribute to both Dad and the dog who had changed his life. And then the pastor turned to Hebrews 13:2. 'Be not forgetful to entertain strangers. I've often thanked God for sending that angel,' he said.
For me, the past dropped into place, completing a puzzle that I had not seen before: the sympathetic voice that had just read the right article!
Cheyenne's unexpected appearance at the animal shelter . . . his calm acceptance and complete devotion to my father . . . and the proximity of their deaths. And suddenly I understood. I knew that God had answered my prayers after all.
Life is too short for drama and petty things, so laugh hard, love truly and forgive quickly.
Live While You Are Alive. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.
And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares?
But do share this with someone. Lost time can never be found.
------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog" or "that's
a lot of money for just a dog". They don't understand the distance traveled
the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog". Some of my
proudest moments have come about with "just a dog". Many hours have passed
and my only company was "just a dog", but I did not once feel slighted. Some
of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those
days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and
reason to overcome the day. If you, too, think it's "just a dog", then you
will probably understand phrases like "just a friend", "just a sunrise" or
just a promise". "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of
friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy "Just a dog" brings out the
compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of "just a
dog", I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.
So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all
the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the
pure joy of the moment. "Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and
diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day. I hope that
someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog", but the thing that
gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a man or woman". So the
next time you hear the phrase "just a dog", just smile -- because they "just
don't understand". -- Author Unknown
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, except a wild-eyed Boxer named Mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
but none of us quite knowing the fawn and furry Boxer would soon be there.
The Lab and kitty cat were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of secret treasures danced in the Boxers' head
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had no idea the Boxer was getting ready to pull all of this crap,
When all of a sudden I heard such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Down to the stairs I flew like a flash,
But the Boxer had already tore open all the presents.
And man he was having a blast.
He lay their proud of himself as he chewed on the fake snow
and I looked all around at the damage below,
When, what to my tired eyes should appear,
But the Boxer had decided to eat our plastic reindeer,
With a hint of child like innocence, he was so lively and quick,
I thought it was a dream and gave myself a prick.
More rapid than a bear, his terror had already came,
And I shouted and called him but a few choice names;
"Now, Mouse! I shouted so loud and so firm,
I asked him to listen, but he was already on the go!
Around the house I chased him until I was totally bent!
To the top of the stairs! Around to the wall!
He dashed away! dashed away! like he was laughing at us all!
His eyes full of joy-- how they twinkled! how merry!
His cheeks puffed out from the mouth full of paper,
and me so mad I turned red like a cherry!
The drool from his mouth dropped down in a steady flow,
And his chin white with toy stuffing looked like he had eaten snow;
The ornament how he held them so tight in his teeth,
Was just a small preview of the damage he'd planned.
He tore down the wreath, I glancing up into the kitchen
I see he has eaten our Santa doll with the little round belly,
(He even ate our Christmas grape jelly too.)
It was just so much to take in, a right jolly night itself,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
With a wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon let me to know I had a lot more to dread;
He barked not a sound, but went straight to his work,
He ripped down all the stockings; with one single jerk,
And laying his paw aside his nose,
He giving it a nod, and up the Tree he rose;
He tore down that tree, and making a sound almost like a whistle,
And down it came, breaking all our crystal.
But I heard him exclaim, as he ran out of sight,

You are everything my heart was seeking.
A dog I could exercise, train, and simply give so much love.
You have grown so beautifully.
You are slender and quite agile.
I love to see you run like the wind when I call you.
You are watchful and alert.
Ready to defend me or Minnie... you are a solider.
When you look intently at the world,
It shows how much intellect you have.
To look around so deeply and have such intelligent thoughts, I imagine.
They say that Border Collies are hardly dog, but seem more like human.
I believe it.
For you to put trust in me for your safety, is my goal.
You don't have to worry, my friend.
I hope to achieve a high level of bond with you, as I have with Minnie.
To share thoughts and read energy.
To depend on each other and understand each other.
There is much to discover, Winston.
We will do it together.
Your Mum. ?
This is a special Tail of DevotionSee All Tails of Devotion
The matter of my behavioral issues is pretty serious. Today, my baby brother was trying to get to his dad and in order to do that, needed to get around the sleeping puppy... me. For whatever reason, he'd rather go over than around so he tried to go over me. But he slipped and kinda fell on me. I certainly did not tolerate that and snarled at him.
Mummy was right there to stop me but she was disappionted in my actions. Sometimes she feels on top of the world when she sees noticable improvement but other times she sinks into this world where things are hopeless.
She wants to clicker train me on this but the baby will never pet me or mess with me long enough for her to train. Every stinkin' website just says "contact your vet or a professional right away". She's not about to pay $500 for something that can't guarentee they'll fix me. She'll keep trying herself. Trying to stay above water...
Woof Woof.
-- Winston
Mummy says when I'm a year, we're going to start AGILITY! She blabs on about "Oh, Winston! You have so much potential! We MUST do agility!". Whatev mom... it better be fun!
It's her motivation to get me over my problems with other dogs. Because her dad said that if she could rehabilitate me, he'd pay for a 6 week class!
I bet it's gonna be soooo much fun!!
Woof Woof!

GM CEO: top woman executive a potential successor
Akerson, who joined the company as it emerged from bankruptcy, has said he would prefer the next CEO to come from within GM but the board would decide. He gave no time frame for his exit and said he would stay as long as he was making a contribution and the board wanted him.
Analysts say other candidates to succeed him include Vice Chairman Steve Girsky, 50, and North American operations chief Mark Reuss, 48.
Explaining why he wants to ensure that women at the company are in positions beyond "softer" jobs such as human resources, he pointed out that he has two daughters and also said his mother, who worked as a cashier at a grocery store and rose to become a manager, had a greater impact on him than his father.
Akerson said women make up 20 to 25 percent of GM's top 50 executives. "Four of 12 of our directors are women, one of our women runs Europe and some of our biggest plants are run by women," he said. "Twenty percent of our technical staff are women. We seek women with engineering degrees."
Barra joined GM in 1980 and has had various manufacturing and engineering jobs and was vice president in charge of global human resources. She was named senior vice president in charge of global product development in February last year and in January was appointed to the supervisory board of GM's struggling Opel European unit.

Pakistani forces have discovered an abandoned complex of caves apparently used recently by Taliban and al-Qaeda militants, including Ayman al-Zawahri, the second-in-command to Osama bin Laden, The Times of London reports.
The network of 156 caves is located in Damadola in the semiautonomous Bajaur tribal region. Pakistani Maj. Gen. Tariq Kahn said the arrival of his forces marks the first time Pakistan's flag has flown over the village since Pakistan gained its independence in 1947, the newspaper says.
The Times reports that Pakistani officials and local residents said al-Zawahri, an Egyptian doctor, was often seen in the area and had married a local girl.
Al-Zawahri narrowly escaped an attack on a house in Damadola by a missile fired by a CIA drone in January 2006, the newspaper says.
The underground complex was strewn with blankets and pillows, indicating the militants fled in haste as Pakistani forces approached the area in January.
