Former Falcon Chad Hall to play in the Super Bowl
Jan. 29, 2013
By John Van Winkle, Air Force Academy Public Affairs
An Air Force Academy graduate and San Francisco 49ers wide receiver arrived in New Orleans Sunday for Super Bowl XLVII.
Capt. Chad Hall, an Air Force reservist,was signed to the 49ers practice squad Nov. 27 for scout team duty, wearing No. 14. He was released Dec. 14 as the team juggled its active and practice squad rosters but Hall left an impression on the coaches, who signed the 5'8, 187-pound Hall back onto the practice squad three days later.
"I've been preparing every week and I was ready to go every week, in case I was called up," Hall said. "Every week usually the defense has me play the role of their opponent's quickest receiver and slot receiver in practice. I'll do anything I can help in that way, and have been doing that ever since the first day I got here. Over the past couple of weeks, the offense has put me in for plays that are designed for me."
Hall has also been working as a backup punt and kick returner. "Hopefully, I can work my way into that role for next year."
The 49ers moved Hall up to the active roster Jan. 19, which allowed him to suit up for the NFC championship game against his hometown team, the Atlanta Falcons, Jan. 20. "I love what I do, I love being able to put on a football helmet every day and able to compete physically and mentally," Hall said. There's not many jobs you get to compete physically with everybody on every day.It's a tough job mentally and physically, but I love what I do."
Hall attributes his success to his Air Force background.
"The rigors of the Air Force Academy just furthered my discipline and my work ethic," hel said. "For the cadets at the Academy now, I'd say just because you go to the Academy, it doesn't mean you can't follow your dreams and do anything you want, whether it's right away or after finishing your service commitment. Whether it's flying an aircraft or playing professional sports, you just keep on grinding and keep on fighting for that goal. If you work hard enough, your dreams can come true.
"It's not easy, but the Air Force definitely got me prepped for that," he added. The magnitude of the rare opportunity be part of the Super Bowl team hasjust began to sink in.
"You think back to when you played football in your backyard at 6 years old, and now you're going to play in the Super Bowl -- only about 120 guys every year get to play in the Super Bowl. It's not something that happens often, so it's amazing," He said.
Hall's journey to the Super Bowl started at the Academy, wherehe lettered for three years offense during his junior season in 2006. He started all 12 games at halfback and led the team in rushing with 784 yards.
As a senior, Hall moved from halfback to flanker. But wherever Hall lined up, he was a weapon for the Falcons and a headache for opposing defenders, avergaging just more than 206 all-purpose yards per game. He led the 2007 Falcons in rushing and receiving with 230 rushes for 1,478 yards, 15 touchdowns , 50 receptions for 524 yards, and one touchdown. On special teams, Hall was the primary punt and kick returner, returning 36 punts and kickoffs for a combined 681 return yards. It was this potential that got the attention of NFL teams, but as an Academy graduate, Hall had a five-year active duty service commitment to fulfill after graduating in 2008.
Defense Department policy required him to serve at least 24 months of active duty before applying for an early release from active duty to transfer to the Guard or Reserve after being signed to play professional sports so he went undrafted but earned a tryout for his hometown Atlanta Falcons minicamp. They didn't offer a contract. A later tryout with the Buffalo Bills had similar results.
Hall began his active duty career as a maintenance officer in the 421st Fighter Squadron at Hill AFB, but kept his goal of playing pro football alive and worked out at the University of Utah's Pro Day in March of 2010. It was there that Philadelphia Eagles scouts signed him, giving him his first shot at playing pro football. Hall then transferred to the Air Force Reserve and pursued his NFL dreams. Hall played in eight games in the 2010 season, starting once. He ended the season with 11 catches for 115 yards and his first NFL touchdown, along with nine rushes for 29 yards.
His 2011 and 2012 seasons started the exact same way.
"It was my third year with the Eagles," he said. "For the first two years after camp, they released me and brought me back, and I ended up playing. I busted my butt for three years, and if they didn't think I could play for them from the beginning of the season, I thought it was time to try for another team." As the 2012 regular season rolled on, Hall kept training and staying in top physical condition, waiting for his next NFL opportunity. He got a couple of calls, and two tryouts. But nothing happened until San Franciscocalled him.
Now, Hall can become the latest in a very short list of Air Force Academy graduates to make it to the Super Bowl. That list currently sits at four: Chad Hennings (defensive tackle, 1993, 1994 and 1996), Steve Russ (linebacker, 1998-1999), Bryce Fisher (defensive end, 2006) and Joe Lombardi (quarterback coach, 2010).
"It's very special, because it's one of the greatest sporting events in the world and certainly the greatest sporting event in our nation," Hennings said. "But to be able to play on that type of stage at a professional level, it's the pinnacle of professional football.
"You appreciate the sacrifice of making it to a Super Bowl and winning it," he added. "But then it's like, `Hey we won one, but let's go get ready to win another one.'"
Hennings also remembers what it took to get to that pinnacle of professional sports: for him, it started with his time at the Air Force Academy.
"My Air Force Academy class ring means more to me than my Super Bowl rings, because it laid the foundation of professional success I had. That's where I learned the truths about honor, commitment, and integrity that helped me when helped me as a fighter pilot, helped me as a member of the Dallas Cowboys, and helped me in my professional life after football."
The second Air Force Academy graduate to win a Super Bowl as a player is Steve Russ, he graduated from the Academy in 1995 after being a four-year letterman at linebacker, and was a seventh-round draft pick by the Denver Broncos. Following two years of active duty, Russ was signed to the Broncos active roster in 1997. He would go on to play for the Broncos through 2000, and won two Super Bowl championship rings playing with the Broncos in the 1997 and 1998 seasons.
"It was pretty cool, at the same time, you want to win the game. It sinks in after the game in my opinion. That's when it hits you," said Russ. He is now the Air Force Academy football team's assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and inside linebacker coach, but he remembers the pace of his Super Bowls all too well.
"Those first couple days for a player are pretty hectic because everybody's focused on practicing for that game, while trying to deal with getting tickets for friends and family, setting the family up and so on. Then you get to the site of the Super Bowl the week prior and there's all the press and other activities. So there's a lot of distractions," he added.
"At that point, your team's leadership and everyone on the team has got to sit down, buckle down and get to work," said Russ. "The biggest thing during Super Bowl week and the game itself is to stay focused on what you have to do, and whatever your role is, you got to be able to execute well and not let the stage and all the distractions take away from that, because when the ball is kicked off, it's a game." That game, for Chad Hall, will be Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3 in New Orleans.

Apparently, there are people out there who want Twitter followers so badly they're willing to pay for it. In fact, there must be quite a few, since scammers have come up with a way to steal financial information from such folks by offering to sell followers.
The scam works like this: A Twitter user you've probably never heard of starts following you. If you decide to figure out who it is by going to their Twitter page, you'll see a tweet offering to sell "Twitter Users For You Every Day!" followed by a link.
A brave soul at security vendor Sophos decided to follow the link, and reports that it leads to a number of different options for buying followers. The scammer offers different packages with various amounts of followers, depending on your needs.
There's also a fake link to PayPal, since you must pay for these followers. As the Sophos blogger points out, you would then not only being giving the scammer your money, but total access to your PayPal account.
One of the scams offers an 'introductory rate' of $5, but then bills your credit card for $99.50 a month. Which would actually cost you quite a bit more, since you've just given all your credit card information to a scammer…

text: I would suggest that you get a brochure, if you have not got one, and look up what things are included because it is quite a few. Generally no drinks except one at the Captain's "welcome aboard" party are included. You will also find innumerable bits of information that can get you in cruising mood. If you can't get a brochure look at the Princess Cruises web site, honestly, it's worth looking at especially as you could be spending a lot of money for a cruise. Regards .... Neil.

Top 10 Scores of 2013
Even for a confirmed pessimist like myself, I was surprised at how much the state of film music depressed me throughout most of 2013. Perhaps more than any year previous, I was struck at how bombast and rhythm were the key words in today's film scores. Film music today wants to be loud, part of the sound design and in a state of perpetual motion. Not that there's anything wrong with any of these qualities—either alone or in combination. What is wrong is the lack of individual musical voices. One score bleeds into the next, and good luck in telling one score apart from the other.
That being said, there were still some truly exciting film (and TV) music moments—in the theater and at home. And as much as I enjoy listening to film music on its own, I can't discuss the music properly without the context for which it was written. So if I didn't see the film, it won't be on this list. Now, since this post should be a celebration rather than yet another rant from a tired crank, let me unveil my very personal selections for the Top 10 Scores of 2013.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire – Just Friends
After a disappointing first outing, CATCHING FIRE raised the bar on the HUNGER GAMES franchise. James Newton Howard also rose to the challenge, particularly in his action scoring. Though the score is uneven, there are numerous highlights, many of them themes from the first film that weren't given the proper opportunity to shine, including a beautiful love theme for Katniss and Gale. I'm looking forward to seeing how Howard ties together the musical strings over the last two films in the franchise.
If you're going to have film music function as sound design, few have done it as effectively as Steven Price. As everything turns to shit in outer space, the music slashes and tears apart with the chaotic collision of melodic and rhythmic fragments bouncing off each other. The score is a harsh listen on its own, though one that grows on you if you listen with open ears. But it's most effective when heard in context of the film, where it adds to the nail-biting tension and even provides an emotional wallop when needed.
Star Trek Into Darkness – London Calling
I ignore the longtime Trekkies who lambaste this film as the worst in the long-running franchise. INTO DARKNESS ably carries on the STAR TREK tradition, further establishing the young cast in the reboot, and Michael Giacchino continues his own reboot of the TREK musical universe. While this sophomore effort can't have the same impact as the 2009 score did, Giacchino's music once again contributes greatly to the adventures of Kirk & Co., even providing a surprisingly moving musical backstory for Benedict Cumberbatch's Khan.
House of Cards – Main Title Theme
With HOUSE OF CARDS, Netflix became a game-changer and a force to be reckoned with in terms of original programming and even awards consideration. The moral and political dilemmas of Kevin Spacey's corrupt Southern Congressman made for riveting binge-watching. Jeff Beal's score, with that memorable main title cue, serves up its own share of sly backdoor shenanigans. Showcasing the seedy underbelly of Washington politics, Beal's music is tinged with sadness and stealth, haunting reminders of a purer political ideal.
The Great Gatsby – Buchanan Mansion and Daisy Suite
While they were castigating Baz Luhrman once again on his excess and use of anachronistic pop songs on his soundtrack, most critics failed to notice the beauty of Craig Armstrong's score. Armstrong's music captures the rich grandeur of Fitzgerald's wealthy characters and the doomed tragedy lying beneath the gaudy excess. Whether it's borrowing the harmonies and melody of Lana Del Rey's haunting "Young and Beautiful" or the violin harmonic that serves as the green light heartbeat calling Daisy and Gatsby across Long Island Sound, Armstrong's music deserves to be feted.
Da Vinci's Demons – The Glider
One of the great things about music—or art in general—is when it promotes further discovery, whether it's a particular artist, film, what have you. Such was the case with DA VINCI'S DEMONS. Bear McCreary's Emmy-winning main theme was so infectious that I simply could not stop listening to the 2-CD Collector's Edition promo that I received. McCreary certainly knows his way around a melody but what made this music stand out? Was it the theme's palindrome symmetry or the interwoven Italian Renaissance instrumentation into the contemporary scoring techniques? Whatever the reasons, the score is equally effective in context of the enjoyable STARZ miniseries. And you gotta love a score outside of Middle-earth that incorporates a contrabassoon.
The true story behind Philomena Lee's (Judi Dench) search for the son who was forcibly sold 50 years earlier by the Irish nuns of Rosecrea is a heartbreaking one. Rather than bathe the tale in syrupy pathos, Alexandre Desplat displays his typical economy of means in the music, delicately underscoring the tale with a deceptively innocent carnival waltz fraught with memory, sighing clarinet appoggiaturas, and a warm theme for the long lost son. In lesser hands, the score could have been treacle. But Desplat's deftness of touch once again keeps the emotions firmly in check, yet real and honest.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug – Feast of Starlight
While the first HOBBIT score pushed Plan 9 to the fore, with SMAUG there's no doubt who's back in charge—Howard Shore. Exciting action cues like "The Forest River" easily stand alongside earlier LOTR cues. And as always, Shore expanded on his original HOBBIT themes while supplying a wealth of new one—the rustic quality of Lake-town, the brassy boldness of Smaug and the hallucinogenic Mirkwood. But it is the heartbreaking love theme for Tauriel and Kili, with its plaintive female vocal and deceptively simple step-wise motion, that transports this score into some heavenly musical netherworld beyond Middle-earth.
The Book Thief – The Visitor at Himmel Street
For this rare foray outside of Spielberg territory, John Williams once again proves why he is the master. While the film couldn't quite capture the emotional devastation of Markus Zusak's excellent YA novel, Williams' score was like a breath of fresh air. Contrary to popular belief, this is NOT the companion piece to SCHINDLER'S LIST. The score is decidedly Aryan, with delicate piano themes, and a sweetness and innocence that perfectly underscores a child's view of life in wartime. The music rocks back and forth, churns in the lower strings, and cascades in the piano as Liesel learns to read. Williams doesn't shirk from the dark elements in cues like "Book Burning" but only a musician with consummate command of his craft would dare to score children screaming "I Hate Hilter!" with such fragility. But it is the haunting high violin theme for the mysterious Max that makes this score memorable and, in the end, emotionally devastating.
Saving Mr. Banks – Bandstand/Mom River
My favorite film of 2013 contains one of Thomas Newman's finest scores. Newman eschews the dueling time periods to create a score that works in a contemporary setting (without sounding dated in the 1960s) as well as through the amber haze of memory. From the galloping, gung-ho French horns of Walt Disney's kingdom (both literally and figuratively) to the pulsating theme for Ginty's dreaming alcoholic father (Colin Farrell), Newman crafts a score that combines all the tricks of his trade while still sounding fresh and decidedly Newmanesque (if there is such a word). Newman's strings, as easily recognizable as those of his father, tug at the heartstrings without excess, while the simple piano theme for Travers' love for her father creates a musical bond that floats throughout the film. If there was any justice, Newman would finally win his Oscar for this score. But the film hasn't become the box office hit I thought it would. Still, I remain hopeful…for now.

Mar 19, 2014 Ida Torres Features, National 9
A survey by the Kyodo News agency in Japan showed that a majority of the respondents still do not agree with legalizing same-sex marriage. While this issue has received much attention in other countries, with several countries now acknowledging these kinds of unions, Japanese society hasn't shown "broad social support" for non-heterosexual relationships, particularly legal unions.
52% of the respondents don't agree or somewhat disagreed on legalizing these same-sex unions, while almost three quarters said that Japanese society (not themselves in particular) is still not welcome to the idea of sexual minorities. 62% said they are not comfortable or somewhat not comfortable with homosexuality. The survey was conducted for the newspaper by the Japan Association for Public Opinion Research early this month through a direct survey of men and women 20 years and older.
When compared to other countries, Japan ranks very low also when it comes to support of same-sex marriage in a 2013 poll conducted by Reuters among 16 countries. They are only behind Poland at 24%, and when asked if these couples deserve any form of legal recognition, Japan was still the lowest, tied with Hungary at 51%. The country's constitution states that "marriage shall be based only on the mutual consent of both sexes", not recognizing either marriage or civil unions between same-sex partners. Law experts believe that amending this may still be difficult even if the public somehow starts expressing stronger support for it.
[ via Wall Street Journal ]
May it long stay this way!
May it long stay this way!
So it's 52% only… The title had me thinking it was a high figure lol
Well, not too surprised with this figure, personally I think the figure would be lower if teens were surveyed
yeah because teenagers are brainwashed by western media but adults are smart enough to know homosexuality is wrong.
Dear "king and slave": it is changing and it will change and one day people like you, who cannot accept the fact that LGBT people are entitled to the exact same rights you have, will no longer be able to trample on them. Japan, of all countries, has absolutely no reason whatsoever to deny marriage rights to same-sex couples. The day will come when Japan will be forced to join the rest of the modern world; that day can't come soon enough.
the day homosexuality dominant in the world, the day the world starts going to its doom.
The day people like you stop running the world, the world will finally live in peace.
Please don't ruin the japan. homosexuality is a curse in West and it's ruining the country. so japanese people please be against it, talk against it unless your culture will be spolied like US.
"Ruin" Japan? The only thing that could "ruin" Japan or any other country on Earth are people like you who are incapable of understanding the human heart.

Infection Symptoms
Any infection symptoms will of course depend on the nature and severity of the infection. General infection symptoms are fever and inflammation.
Within this general infection section are links to multiple different infectious diseases and conditions.
Infections are typically caused by invading viral or bacterial organisms. They enter the body through several possible routes and multiply within the body.
The body has evolved defenses to infectious microorganisms for millions of years. The battle continues today.
Regularly a healthy immune system is able to detect and eliminate the viral/bacterial organism early or following a short course of infection.
However, a chronic infection infection may develop in which a stalemate is reached between the body's immune system and the advancement of the organism.
In extreme cases the microorganism overwhelms the bodies immune defense or is not detected and/or attacked properly by the immune system.
The infectious agent may release toxins that cause harm, cause a general inflammatory response, and/or may destroy cells of the body.
Treatment of infections can be through several different strategies.
Prevention of infections is difficult, if not impossible, if the intent is to avoid all possible sources of infection.
The cheapest, easiest, and most globally effective method for infection prevention is good hygiene.
Washing your hands frequently is perhaps the single most important measure to avoid more personal infections, and avoid transmission of harmful microorganisms to others.
Vaccination is another powerful method in avoiding infections. Vaccination programs have been effective in reducing many viral and bacterial microorganisms to the history books.

Rheem RGDG-075AUER gas furnace lights intermittently
Hi all,
I have a problem with my furnace I am hoping someone can help me solve.
Here is what happens. When I turn up the temperature on the furnace the draft motor begins turning, I hear no clicking sounds. The draft motor just runs until I turn it off.
So I turned off the furnace at the thermostat, removed the bottom safety panel, put tape over the safety switch, then turned the furnace back to auto at the thermostat. I then went back and pressed on the control board cover and the burners lit off. I then removed the cover on the control board and pulled and pushed on the large white square plug at the bottom of the board and I could control the burners going off and coming back on. I disconnected the plug but did not see anything out of the ordinary, no pushed/burnt pins, etc...
Has anyone ever had this type of problem. Thanks in advance for the help.
Rheem RGDG-075AUER gas furnace lights intermittently
I have checked those things that you mentioned and all looks good. No pins are loose, burnt, or pushed. I want to really isolate to the board so I was thinking that I would read the power going out to the gas valve the next time the draft motor comes on but the burners don't light off. I am looking at the booklet of schematics and it shows one for North America (mine) and one for Canada. I have only seen one 9 pin connector on the board, but it looks like the schematic shows two nine pin connectors. P1 plugs into p2 and
pin 8 (blue wire) coming off of that plug goes to the gas valve, the other pin 3 (purple) goes to through a "Heat Assisted Limit Control Downflow switch up through the Negative pressure switch and back to jumper to the blue wire on the gas valve, but I am not sure which pin I should be checking for power out to the gas valve.
It would appear that the pressure switch is not closing. While on call for heat (while the draft inducer motor is spinning), pull the hose off of the inducer and suck on it. Keep a steady suction on that tube which should still be connected to the pressure switch.
Let us know.
may have bad plug on board
Rheem RGDG-075AUER gas furnace lights intermittently
But If I can control the burners by pressing and pulling out on the plug on the control board, would that not tell me that something is going on with the board and not with the pressure switch?
Do you know if that plug is replaceable?

Valedictory Speakers
Akridge, William
President Wright, members of the Board of Trustees, distinguished faculty, family and friends, and fellow graduates: Aloha and good evening!
Today marks a milestone in our lives, which for some this is only the beginning and for others this is the final stop in the world of academia. Tonight is also a tribute to all of you in the audience, because each and everyone contributed to the lives of the students who are about to graduate.
Yet as we set forth from this night, it is essential that we not forget each of us will impact this world, but what legacy will we leave behind. Nelson Mandela in his 1994 Inaugural speech stated, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? … Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking down so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory… that is with in us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Those words of Nelson Mandela inspire us that one must live in the excellence, sincerity, and truth of who they are in order to see the beauty in all things. By realizing this, the world will not only benefit from our accomplishments, but from who we are as individuals.
Speaking on behalf of the Military Campus Programs is an honor and privilege. I must recognize my fellow classmates: the consummate military and government professionals, their husbands and wives, whose tireless efforts have made this educational journey rewarding and beneficial to all in the Military Campus Programs. Also, I send my respect to our military brothers and sisters in harms way around the world. Be vigilant and return home safely!
In closing, may all of us have the passion to follow our dreams, the drive to persevere through life's trails, and the courage to confront all issues honestly. Remember, greatness is lived through knowing who we are.
Good luck fellow graduates. Mahalo and good night.

So heres the crack (no pun intended) Ive got about 6000 RTR packets in HEX that I just know are 8 bit PCM audio. These were intercepted in transmission and after scrubbing away the headers Im happy Ive got just the raw data but how, oh how can I resolve this back into audio? I wouldnt even begin to think it possible or practical to manually put all 6000 odd packet together and try and run them so am I looking for an app? I tried the mighty oracle GOOGLE (all hail) but I think this is a little to specific even for her.
Beliver or not , if god was real, he'd be a programmer

Sherri, a 39 year old female from Baltimore asks on September 13, 2004,Does Henna (a plant based hair dye) contain any aluminum in its substances?
viewed 13517 times
Henna is a plant (Lawsonia inermis) and contains no aluminum. The plant itself is ground up to make the dye. Henna dye sometimes comes preformulated in aluminum tubes or packets in the same way that some toothpaste comes in aluminum tubes, or pop comes in aluminum cans. If aluminum is used in the formulation, it should be clearly stated on the list of ingredients of the product you purchase.

Sure, Central Florida has an abundant number Dunkin Donuts scattered about and people flock to these places for coffee and treats. There is always a line at the local Dunkins especially on the weekends. However, there is place in Clermont that, in my opinion, is worth the drive to get the BEST donuts in town. Hello Donut King!
Open 24 hours a day, this is the place to get fresh donuts- more unique than anything you will find in any other shop in the area. Red Velvet Glazed with Cream Cheese, Chocolate Sour Cream and the Half Glazed Half Chocolate are a few of the varieties you will find here. We stopped in for a half dozen and had a hard time deciding which donuts to try.
The Heath Donut was delicious.
The Grasshopper Donut was glazed with chocolate and topped with junior mints.
The Gator Donut had blue and orange sprinkles on chocolate frosting.
All the donuts are made fresh around the clock. There are also other treats like the glazed Gingerbread Man Donuts and Apple Fritters.
On a side note, Donut King also offers meals like Jambalaya, Fried Shrimp and Chicken Tender baskets.
Donut King is a popular place and we can see why. Highly recommended for a dozen treats. Absolutely fresh and delicious- well worth the 30 minute drive from downtown Orlando.

I really don't appreciate links being added to things that I post by VigLink. If I had wanted to advertise a product, I would have made my career in marketing. The link implies that I am recommending the products being sold, when in fact I have never visited that site. It makes me very angry.
Hi Gooseberry. Can you point me to the post you are referring to so I can check into it?
I created a user-account just to reply to this thread! I see the links in a LOT of the posts. For example, http://www.mothering.com/community/t/1371198/appointment-results-updates/280#post_17265655
in my browser has links for "doppler," "thing1" and "thing2." They are clearly not being put there by the original poster.
Hope this helps.
I see them when I log out, but can't see them otherwise. For Dopper, it is linking to price grabber, and for Thing 1 and Thing 2 there are links to ebay.
Thanks. I'm still looking into this.
Can you see the screen shot (don't know how to make it bigger)? A link has been added to the words "seat covers". It's from a post on To-do lists for baby in the May 2013 due date club. These links are all over the site now. When you hover your mouse, they say, "Link added by VigLink." The links take you to items for sale. You cannot see them when you're logged in. As I very rarely comment on here, I usually don't log in at all. I assume that many frequent commenters don't visit the site without logging in, so they may have no idea how many links have been added to their posts.
I really have no interest in selling things. I have a fairly strong mistrust and dislike of internet marketing, etc., and I will stop posting if my words are going to be used to market/sell products.
I was on MDC while not signed in and saw this in several places including this thread, where there are multiple commerical links when that disappear once logged in

I just logged out to check this out. Its happening to my posts as well. Even ones that are a couple of months old and not active.. I really hope y'all can fix this soon because its not cool. I dont want to be endorsing products or websites especially when I don't even know I'm doing it! Thanks for your hard work!
I was just coming to ask about this.
Thanks for reporting this. I had to check with our platform partner about the details.
We are performing a test with these link insertions in members' posts only for logged-out visitors. The frequency of these links is currently very low, so it should impact very few user posts, overall. If it is decided that we will keep the linking in place we will update the Terms & Conditions agreement for all members to be aware of it and announce the update.
This linking system is affiliate revenue and may prove to be a worthwhile source of income to help keep Mothering running so we want to give it a chance. We'll weigh the pros and cons before making a final decision.
I'm not quite sure what you consider "very low". There are six links in this thread alone, and it currently only has 11 posts in it. That doesn't seem very low to me.
I think its unethical of you not to update users right now. Links are being added to people's posts and they are completely unaware of it because they are logged in. You are using their content in a way that they are not currently informed about. This to me seems similar to the reaction Mothering received when it was linking threads from Mothering.com to the Facebook page without informing the thread starter and others who posted in the thread. (Maybe I can get a link added to the term "Facebook" without my knowledge or consent here...)
If you do continue with the linking, I will not be posting any more, and I may cease visiting the site. I continue to be disappointed with Mothering following the shift to all digital. I understand the need for revenue, but more than once I've seen Mothering make choices that are questionable in the name of money.
I don't see anything unethical occurring, since our existing Terms of Service state that a member's posts may be used for advertising. My statement about updating the Terms were that if we decide to keep this specific affiliate linking type of advertising as a permanent feature we will place that information more specifically in the Terms and announce the update.
Not cool. I am NOT okay with my words being used to advertise for products/places that I have no knowledge of. If that is what we can expect to continue to happen I will probably not be participating here much anymore.
This may very well be covered in the Terms of Service agreement, but that doesn't make it completely above board. These links are all over the site, and as they are new, most users do not know that their words are being linked to items for sale. If they knew how their content was being used by the site, they may make different choices about how they use Mothering. It just seems to me that it should be put out there for everyone to understand. Some people won't care a bit. I care very much.
I won't be visiting mothering.com anymore. I will miss it, but not it's unethical behaviour. It's a shame. Mothering used to be my go to for almost everything. It is a sad shell of it's former life :(
I agree with the folks above, this is not cool.
I had no idea that the links were being created, and I doubt most people do. I see them popping up in the threads I participate in and I barely post on this site.

Cynthia, I think that many member's understanding of the Terms of Service and use of posts as advertising is that our posts may be used to advertise mothering itself, or the specific products discussed within the post (such as if I write a post about X baby carriers, mothering could use this to promote this carrier).
These new links use the member's posts to promote materials that the writer has no knowledge or affiliation with. If I write that it's t-shirt weather outside, I am unknowingly creating links to t-shirts for sale online, while giving the appearance of having promoted/linked this myself. It's one thing for sidebar advertising to be based on post content, but crosses a line for me when we give the appearance of members promoting or endorsing products without their knowledge.
"Guess what? It's a magical world. And when I sing, my songs are in it."

I really appreciate mothering.com and hope it is here for a long long time to come.
I miss the mag.
I miss the old mdc
I don't understand the social groups
I don't understand this mdc
Looks like it might be time to leave mdc again.
Or, how about a disclaimer at the top or bottom of every page (like a footer) - Something on the order of the link not being from the poster? I've seen these things in other places and I don't really care for them. I was suckered in and clicked on one, but after that I knew it was just spam.

Mystery lion sightings captivate Milwaukee residents
By Brendan O'Brien
MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - Nicole Anderson rode along a busy Milwaukee thoroughfare where she got plenty of stares, double takes and fingers pointing at her not only because she was nude, but because she was painted head to toe like a lion.
Interest in all things lions has reached new heights in Milwaukee as the city's fixation with its feline version of Bigfoot - does it exist and is it really a lion? - has dominated local news, water-cooler talk and social media.
Milwaukeeans are captivated by the possibility that a lion is roaming their city.
"We found the Milwaukee lion," proudly proclaimed Ken Kenitz, as he sped along with Anderson, who was covered in bronze body paint while wearing fake white whiskers, fluffy ears and long black fingernails.
Kenitz, a body painter, and Anderson, his canvass, had just finished a photo shoot at several city landmarks as a way to document the lion craze that has consumed Milwaukee after several "lion-like animal" sightings were reported to police during the last week.
Many residents also fear for the lion's well-being. On Tuesday, a pit bull was shot in the paw when a gunman thought he had the large cat in his sights.
"I would only shoot it as a last resort .... I hope they can tranquilize it," said Reggie Bonds as he did maintenance work around two stone lions outside of a Milwaukee funeral home. "I am wondering how it got here, but it probably was someone's pet."
Wisconsin is one of six states that do not prohibit the owning of a lion as a pet, but Milwaukee ordinance bans ownership of dangerous animals. Continued...

Army's New Hair Regulations
In a culture where many African American ladies are choosing to go natural, Uncle Sam is saying He does NOT want you if that is your choice.
Want to go natural? Then don't plan on joining the U.S. Army. Outrage has followed a new Army mandate that prohibits hairstyles commonly identified with African-American hairstyles, including Afros, locs and twists.
Identified as "Army Regulation 670-1," the rule calls for a ban of hairstyles done in "twists, dreadlocks, afros and braids more than a quarter-inch thick," according to the news site Al-Jazeera America.
The new regulation has not been made official or published but under anonymity, but a female vet using the name "Tonya" spoke with the news site. "It's very targeted because we all know who they're talking about even though they never explicitly say the word 'black' or 'African-American.' We all know who typically wears these types of hairstyles and then they went as far as to include pictures of black women in the PowerPoint," she states.
The reaction to this news has generated a petition directed to the White House, which has garnered more than 6,000 signatures. Army Sgt. Jasmine Jacobs of the Georgia National Guard told The Army Times that she's worn her hair natural for years while serving her country. "I've been in the military six years, I've had my hair natural four years, and it's never been out of regulation. It's never interfered with my head gear," Jacobs said.
The petition reads: "More than 30% of females serving in the military are of a race other than white. As of 2011, 36% of females in the U.S. stated that they are natural, or refrain from chemically processing their hair. Females with natural hair take strides to style their natural hair in a professional manner when necessary; however, changes to AR 670-1 offer little to no options for females with natural hair.

Phoenix City Guide
Hotels Great For Business Stays
The Hyatt Regency, Phoenix
122 N. 2nd St.
Phoenix, 86016.
The Hyatt Regency's distinctive building forms part of the downtown Phoenix skyline and offers 712 rooms and 32 meeting rooms capable of hosting theater, banquet and classroom style gatherings. It also includes 45,000 square feet of multi-use space. The Hyatt was the designated media hotel for Super Bowl XLII, and is a favorite for executives attending events at the new Phoenix Convention Center, a quick and easy walk. The hotel's rounded top-level restaurant, Compass, offers amazing views of the Phoenix metro area, especially at night. Views here are perhaps the best to be had in Phoenix, especially for those not willing to hike up either Camelback Mountain or Piestewa Peak on their own. But be warned, if that's a chosen activity, bring water and a cell phone. Valley residents get a charge out of watching an unprepared tourist being airlifted off the mountains in what seems to be an annual rite. Such events are all televised live by the Valley's four news stations, of course.
The Wyndham Phoenix
50 E. Adams St.
Phoenix, 85004
800-359-7253, reservations; 60
A somewhat smaller property, the Wyndham is also located in the heart of downtown Phoenix. It offers full catering services, 57,000 square feet of flex space and has amenities including a pool and steam room. The hotel can arrange tee times, has a full-service concierge and offers room service as well as Marstons Cafe, a nice restaurant in the hotel's lower floor. Marstons is a great retreat and escape from the lines and lunch crush at the nearby delis and sandwich shops. Be sure to visit the Starbucks tucked inside a corner of The Wyndham. A hot spot for downtown workers seeking a morning coffee buzz, visitors in the shoulder-to-shoulder bistro may also get a glimpse of the city's infamous keyboard player, who on most days can be found singing on the corner right across the street.
The Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel
340 N. Third St.
Phoenix AZ 85004
800-325-353 or 602-262-2500
Opening in the fall 2008, this will be the newest and largest hotel to grace downtown. The 1,000 room property offers 80,000 square feet of meeting space and sits across the street from the Arizona Center, a complex of restaurants and a movieplex, as well as the headquarters of Arizona Public Service, an electric utility. The Sheraton will likely become a favorite for students, parents and those attending events at Arizona State University, with the property just a block East of ASU's downtown campus. While the space and amenities offered by the hotel are embraced by the business community, the building's architecture and tan color has created its own controversy, with many in the city arguing that something more visually striking could have been developed. But the Valley has fickle tastes, as a proposal to erect a circular tensile fabric sculpture in another portion of the city also has its share of detractors.
Tempe Mission Palms Hotel and Conference Center
60 E. 5th Street
Tempe, AZ 85282
A long-standing favorite for executives with business in the East Valley of the metro Phoenix area, the Tempe Mission Palms is in the heart of its Mill Avenue district. Offering access to restaurants, coffee bistros and book stores in a distinctive college atmosphere, the hotel is known for its desert ambience and high standards. A mid-sized hotel, it offers 303 rooms and includes 24,000 square feet of meeting space. It is often home to smaller conferences and those seeking proximity to Tempe's corporate residents, including Google. Business travelers should not worry about keg parties or other college hijinx at the property, as the Mission Palms takes a dim view of such nonsense.
Renaissance Glendale Hotel and Spa
9495 W. Coyotes Blvd.
Glendale, AZ 85305
www.renaissanceglendale.com or www.jqhotels.com
The West Valley's signature hotel, the property opened in late 2007. Situated on the campus of Westgate City Center, the property is a stone's throw from the University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, the NFL team, and Jobing.com Arena, home to the Phoenix Coyotes hockey team. This is the first large-scale hotel to be built in the West Valley and offers 320 guest rooms, 33 suites and extensive conference and meeting space as well as a high end spa, Spa Botanica. Through a partnership with the city of Glendale, the property also offers the Glendale Conference and Media Center, offering 80,000 square feet of space, a 36,000-square-foot expo hall and state-of-the art studios for media or film, including a green room. This property offers great access to American Express, AAA and Honeywell and other West Valley businesses and events. Be aware that the hotel will often sell out for big events and games at the nearby stadiums. For example, the NFL reserved the hotel in its entirety for Super Bowl XLII.

Police patrols in the district where the Real IRA killed two British soldiers have currently no access to automatic rifles and machine guns to counter the heightened terrorist threat in Northern Ireland.
Three weeks after the double murder outside Massereene army barracks the Guardian has learned that cuts in firearms training have resulted in Police Service of Northern Ireland officers in D district being unable to take long-arms weapons out of local police armouries.
D district includes Antrim, where Sappers Mark Quincey, from Birmingham, and Patrick Azimkar, from London, were shot dead in a Real IRA ambush two weeks ago as they went outside the barracks to collect pizzas. The dissident terror group used automatic rifles with up to 60 rounds in the space of 30 seconds. Yesterday Azimkar, 21, was laid to rest after a multi-faith funeral service in south-west London attended by his family, friends, scores of fellow soldiers and officers, and Northern Ireland's chief constable, Sir Hugh Orde.
The deaths of the soldiers prompted concerns about the levels of security at military buildings, which had been scaled down because of the peace process. One police veteran told the Guardian this week that if a PSNI patrol had been passing the military base when the attack took place, none of the police officers would have been able to "fight fire with fire".
A spokesman for the Police Federation in Northern Ireland said that all matters relating to security were currently being discussed with Orde. Four men have been arrested in connection with the murders of the soldiers. Two other men are being held in connection with the murder of PSNI officer Stephen Carroll.

Chris Nilan in front of portraits of Maurice Richard (left) and Howie Morenz.
Allen McInnis, Gazette
This week's Hockey Inside/Out section, which was published in Thursday's Gazette, focuses on a couple of former NHLers who have battled alcohol and drug addiction and managed to get their lives back on track – Chris Nilan and Derek Sanderson.
Brenda Branswell wrote a feature on the new documentary film The Last Gladiators, which focuses mainly on the life of former Canadiens enforcer Nilan, who racked up more than 3,500 penalty minutes in his 13 years in the NHL while earning the nickname "Knuckles". The film opens across the country on Friday.
You can read that feature by clicking here.
Branswell also wrote a sidebar on how the movie undoes the "goon" stereotype.
"I think enforcers are still there in hockey," film director Alex Gibney, who won an Academy Award for best documentary feature in 2008 for Taxi to the Dark Side, told Branswell. "But I'd say the golden age of the enforcer is probably over."
You can read that story by clicking here.
Dave Stubbs has a feature on former Boston Bruin Sanderson, who was in town this week promoting his new autobiography Crossing The Line: The Outrageous Story of a Hockey Original. Sanderson realized there was a good life in front of him without the booze and the drugs and carousing he was once known for. It has been 30 years since he had his last drink, he hasn't consumed any drugs since 1985 and it's been a decade since his last cigarette.
You can read Stubbs's feature by clicking here.
Stubbs also wrote a sidebar on Sanderson, who recalls throwing a punch at Canadiens great Jean Beliveau as a rookie and having to deal with John Ferguson as a result.
You can read that story by clicking here.
Pat Hickey wrote a column on a new book by Rosie DiManno titled Coach: The Pat Burns Story. Hickey writes that the book separates fact from fiction about the former Canadiens coach.
You can read Hickey's column by clicking here.
Hickey also has a couple of stories on the Hamilton Bulldogs, one focusing on coach Sylvain Lefebvre (which you can read by clicking here) and another on Darryl Boyce, a veteran free-agent signing who will provide some leadership for the young AHL team. You can read the Boyce story by clicking here.
And finally, Stubbs writes about how Habs fans can bid for a dinner at Montreal steak house Moishes with Canadiens forward Colby Armstrong, former Hab Mathieu Darche and possibly a few other Habs players with all proceeds going to The Gazette Christmas Fund. You can read that article by clicking here and place your bid at hockeyinsideout.com/auction. The bidding started Thursday morning and will continue until Oct. 30 at 11 a.m. ET.

Bank of America and Citibank are among those banks involved in the investigation, the Sunday Times reported. There is no evidence to date to suggest that either bank helped Rusnak.
The FBI is also investigating the affair. Rusnak was a foreign exchange trader at AIB's Allfirst subsidiary in Baltimore. His lawyer says he has done nothing wrong and that Allfirst's internal checks are to blame.
The Sunday Telegraph reported that AIB has approached rival banks, including Barclays and HSBC, for advice on tightening its internal controls. AIB chief executive Michael Buckley has insisted internal controls were adequate. But the bank had planned to centralise its treasury operations in Dublin for almost a year.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
I thought every kid learned of this when someone would attempt it and you'd either angrily let them or punch them in the face... Back cuts is just letting someone cut in front of everyone, except you. You know, good ol' childhood office movery.
HA! I didn't think A-holery would be filtered, you win this time woot.
Perfectly fair--and everyone knows that the equally fair counter to a back-cut is to punch the cutter and cutee in the face with your boot!
Oh, I get it now. No. You just go to the end of the line like everyone else. The rules of society apply to even you. Yes, you're subject to the rules too. Next time, get there early.

Kiski Area wrestler McCutcheon signs with Penn State
Kiski Area senior Matt McCutcheon, who became the first state wrestling champion in school history last season, decided Wednesday to continue his career at a university that knows a thing or two about gold.
On the first day of the NCAA's early-signing period for certain sports, McCutcheon inked a letter of intent to two-time defending national champion Penn State.
He also received scholarship offers from Pitt, Virginia and Virginia Tech.
"Growing up being a Penn State fan, and them having a great group of kids and good coaches — maybe the best in the country — and they're two hours away from me. It was a great opportunity," McCutcheon said.
Penn State features several former WPIAL standouts and is coached by Cael Sanderson, who captured an Olympic gold medal in 2004.
Last season, McCutcheon (41-1, including 31 pins) captured the PIAA Class AAA 182-pound title. He already holds Kiski Area's career record for pins with 74. In three seasons, McCutcheon has compiled a 120-12 mark. He needs 30 wins to break Tyler Oravec's career record of 149, which was set in the 2005-06 season.
Penn State started showing interest in McCutcheon at the beginning of last season and offered a scholarship this past summer.
Kiski Area coach Chuck Tursky is thrilled with McCutcheon's college choice.
"For him to get a scholarship to the school that's won the national championship the last two years, that's fantastic," Tursky said. "He's going to the best wrestling place in the nation."
At Riverview, one of the smallest schools in the Alle-Kiski Valley, two seniors signed Division I letters of intent. Anthony Malky is headed to Akron for baseball, and Arden Fisher will play volleyball at Robert Morris. A joint signing ceremony, with the coaches and families of both players looking on, was held after school.
As a junior, Malky, a 5-foot-8 right-hander, posted a 6-2 record with a 0.94 ERA and 85 strikeouts in 52 innings. He also played shortstop and batted .468 with nine RBI.
Fisher, a 6-foot outside hitter, was a dominate force at the net this fall and guided Riverview to its second consecutive trip to the WPIAL Class A quarterfinals.
"(Wednesday) was one of those days you think about when you're a little kid," Malky said.
Fox Chapel senior Elly Wagner realized a longtime goal when she signed with North Carolina for softball. The catcher had an injury-shortened junior season but still batted .571 in 21 at-bats.
Wagner plans to take her final exams before the Christmas break so she can graduate early from Fox Chapel and enroll at North Carolina in January. She said she was told she could compete for a starting role with the Tar Heels this season.
"I'm very excited and honored to wear Carolina blue," Wagner said. "My dream came true."
Two other Fox Chapel seniors are bound for Division I schools — Ashley DeMoss (Marshall, golf) and Natalie Bonaroti (Marist, lacrosse).
At the Division II level, Burrell senior wrestler Dakota DesLauriers signed with Mercyhurst. Last season, DesLauriers (45-1) took runner-up honors in the 182-pound weight class at the state Class AA championships. In recent years, Mercyhurst has established a pipeline with Burrell. There are three Burrell graduates on the roster.
Kiski Area senior Maddie Antone, the Valley News Dispatch Girls Athlete of the Year for 2011-12, said she probably will wait until the spring to make a college choice.
A standout in softball, basketball and volleyball, Antone has received the most Division I interest because of her play on the diamond. Antone said Winthrop was considering offering a partial scholarship, and Tennessee Tech also has displayed interest. Last spring, she hit .517 with seven home runs and played shortstop for Kiski Area.
In basketball, Division I Cleveland State invited Antone to take a visit. Last season, the 5-11 Antone averaged 16.7 points and 11 rebounds.

A few years ago, a college friend and I were discussing feminism. For one of our projects, she had chosen feminism as her subject matter and had been approaching people with a related questionnaire. Upon my completion of her questions (on the subject of women's rights and their place within society) I was triumphantly told that I was a feminist. I countered that no, I was actually a humanist; I care about the rights and expectations of both genders.
Having high expectations for the rights of women does not make me a feminist. If I have peas and carrots with my rump steak, does that mean that I'm a vegetarian? No. No, it doesn't. I am no more a feminist than I am a masculinist. Humanism covers both, thankyaverymuch.
Stating loudly and clearly that I despise feminism, it should be noted (very strongly) that my views are not antithetical to feminism. My morality, my ethos and (more importantly) my humanism insists and demands that all of the ideals of feminism are sought after. Except, they should be sought after in unanimity with the rights of every other human… including men. Excluding men from your equation and (in some cases) contravening the rights of men is a step too far from the equality that I hold to be humanistically intrinsic to a just and fair society.
Feminism is a meme that steadfastly holds true (the type of true that is wrong). Men daren't challenge it in case they are labelled as misogynists. Women daren't challenge it in case they are labelled as the misguided puppets of misogynists. Some memes are determined not to die… they attract limpets, hugging them, enforcing them, justifying them and rationalising them.
This blog post, for all of the many (half a dozen = many, yeah?) people who will read it, is a small attempt at offering a better ship for the limpets to hold on to. Wave goodbye to SS Feminism and join us on SS Humanism; the passenger list is greater, it doesn't lean too far to port or starboard… and it sails in warmer climes of equality. Possibly on the Equal Sea.
Don't knock the puns.
One Response to "Feminism vs Humanism – part 1"
[…] Because I have just had a lengthy conversation with someone insisting that humanism and feminism are the same thing, I have decided to post this. I even got them to acknowledge that it is not up to them how individuals chose to identify themselves (not that he stopped. Rude). He did that annoying thing that the A+ers do: assume that disagreement=ignorance (really, don't do that. It's rude too). The response was a dismissal of contradictory definition of feminism as wishful thinking, while applying a completely aberrated definition to humanism. In order to clear this up, as he somewhat precipitously left the conversation as soon as I posted the real definition (rude). The actual definitions are below, and he hopefully can see for himself that 'Feminism' is not a redundant term and nor is 'humanism' an equivalent. An example of what I just came up against can be found at http://redcelt.net/blog/?p=161 […]

The top three mistakes in configuring backup software
This Article Covers
Backup software
Poor scheduling: Too many backup jobs scheduled to run concurrently at a given time while the system is practically idle at other times. A poorly planned sequence for administrative jobs can also cause issues. For example, a backup server's database or catalog backup should typically take place once client backups and duplication tasks have completed. This is so the latest state information is captured and sent off-site.
Drill down into today's new backup approaches
Due to the features of most modern backup software – which include snapshot management, DR elements, cloud support, VM protection – backups can do so much more than simply restoring data in the event of a storage or server failure. Download this guide and not only discover the latest upgrades to today's top enterprise backup vendors, but also learn where backup software works best in your computing environment.

Original sent off-site: Many organizations are tempted to cut corners due to time or budgetary constrains by skipping the backup data duplication process. Instead, they choose to send the original backup copy off-site. This situation can become serious in the event of an emergency restore of even worse when the only copy is lost to tape media failure.
Unjustified retention: This one is not so much a configuration mistake but rather, the inability to gather the right information to properly configure a backup solution. Many (if not most) organizations do not have clearly defined backup data retention policies. Too often, people are tempted to keep backup data longer than required and sometimes indefinitely by fear of making a wrong call. Recent legislation changes are making this situation even worse. This situation can quickly make a properly sized backup solution appear undersized and inadequate.

8.4N Uconnect Settings Resetting After 3 Seconds
Well after tonight and a bit more playing around with user settings the bugs started to appear in my 2014. First I setup all the uconnect settings like easy exit, lift gate chime etc. Things were fine and I could go back in and edit without issue. Then we set the 1 and 2 driver presets and that's when things got crazy. After doing that you pretty much can't change any uconnect settings going forward. You check the box and it blanks out after around 3 seconds. The initial settings still seem there though even if the checks are missing. It even started flashing the blind spot warning lights like crazy, tried to get a video of it but it was to late.
If you are a new owner though, I'd suggest trying to set the 1 and 2 presets before doing the uconnect settings. Hopefully the process outlined above will help them troubleshoot for a patch.
Re: Uconnect Settings
Maybe you need to unlink the fobs to make changes. If the memory is set and the fob is in the vehicle, it seems like it should be controlling the features. Just a guess.
"NOTE: Your RKE transmitters can be unlinked to your
memory settings by following steps 1-4 above and pressingtransmitter in Step 4."
the UNLOCK button (instead of LOCK) on the RKE
Re: Uconnect Settings
This morning when testing again, they retained settings and didn't blank out after 3-4 seconds. No crazy flashing of the blind spot lights either. Little bugs are to be expected, so I'm not planning on taking to the dealership or anything. They will issue patches for things like this I'm sure. A few members in other threads had the same issues with the settings blanking out right before their eyes like mine did so it does seem to be reoccurring. Things were 100% until introducing driver settings 1 and 2 and another key fob. Long as they stay the way they are now I'll be happy though.:thumbsup:

Am I the only one who has had bad results with a Huetiful?
I have searched high and low online for negative steamer reviews and have found only one or 2 "unimpressed" reviewers. I have had my steamer since this past Christmas, using once a week ever since. It was over the last 2 months that I began to notice a dry feeling to my hair the moment the steamer shut off. My hair then started breaking, most noticeably at the crown of my head, and also at the ends. At first, I thought it was the conditioners I was using, then I tried all sorts of different conditioners, then added oils, and same result. Then I thought I needed protein, maybe it conditioned too good, I pondered. I did protein treatments in an attempt to restore the balance, this is while I was previously thought to be protein sensitive. Protein actually made it feel somewhat better, but it's not back to good. I'm still not sure what's going wrong, all I know is that I have a very expensive hair steamer that I cannot use. The top of my hair (mainly) has several visible broken hairs, and the only way I can describe it is to say the hair feels literally stripped after I get done steaming. Sucked of all moisture. Am I alone?

Occupy Singapore
As for childcare centres, Mr Teo said these will be difficult to facilitate as they are no longer the representatives for the area. Channel Newsasia, 5 February 2013.
The above comment is made by Teo Ser Luck, Minister of State, Ministry of Trade and Industry and Mayor, North East District just as Parliament is debating the matter of our future population and how the welfare of Singaporeans are at the core of our governments policies.
Mr Teos remarks also come on the same day that Minister in the Prime Ministers Office Grace Fu said marriage and parenthood is central to maintaining a strong Singaporean core. One wonders why it would be difficult to facilitate the establishment of childcare centres in Punggol East, since the welfare and well-being of our children should not be subject to the political winds.
As a friend posted on my Facebook page:
There are a few contentious issues here for discussion when Teo says something like that.
1) Yes PAP didnt win the ward and thus, has no mandate to shape the childcare facilities in Punggol East. But there should be nothing obstructing WP from collaborating with private child care operators or NTUC First Campus. Yet we all know that in reality, this is not going to happen.
2) Alternatively, being appointed as Chairman of Punggol East GRO, KPK could also mobilize Sparkletots (under the umbrella of PCF) or NTUC First Campus and work with WP, the elected party, to set up the much needed childcare services as well. Saying that they are now no longer able to facilitate to do so is simply playing political tactics.
When the welfare of our children is so callously subject to the whims and fancies of politicians and political parties, it is hard to believe the affirmation these politicians make about how parenthood is central to the Singaporean core.
It was thought that the ruling party had left behind its discriminatory practices of the past, of using sticks and carrots, of using threats of withdrawal of services from opposition wards. One would have thought that the recent fiasco over the AIM saga has taught the PAP a valuable lesson.
Apparently not.
It now seems to want to withdraw establishing or at least not help to establish childcare centres in Punggol East, since the PAPs candidate lost the by-election there.
It is such myopic, selfish and infantile attitudes and thinking which have left our politics mired in pettiness.
The PAP really needs to grow up and realise that if it continues to act in such a manner, it will be seen as a sore loser and this will further erode the support that the party has.
The PAP can be sure that behaving like this is not going to win it the support of parents who will need childcare support. Its behaviour only further gives credence to the perception that the government does not really care about Singaporeans but that it only cares about the numbers digits it needs to prop up GDP growth.
Indeed, such behaviour betrays all that is being said in Parliament by those such as Ms Fu.
It is a shame and a disgrace to all Singaporeans, and an affront to all parents that the PAP would treat the care and welfare of our children as a political tool to wield however it wants.
It makes a complete mockery of the governments call for Singaporeans to have more children.
It is disgusting to exploit the burden which parents carry in providing care for their children.
Mr Teo should be ashamed of himself, and more so since he is also a minister and a mayor.
We Singaporeans should unequivocally condemn this sort of unbecoming behaviour, unworthy of those who would represent our country.
Our children those innocent ones certainly deserve better.
Dr Koh was portrayed as a family man, with his own children, during the by-election. He, more than anyone, should know that childcare must not be used for political purposes. One would therefore expect that he would be up in arms about this. But alas ....

Now, however, I can no longer click on that after doing a search. I'm sure there is a way to do it, and I just dont know how. Anyone know the answer?
