Lather Hair Wash Reviews
Too weak for my hairI have tried only one of their hair wash products, Mint Thyme Hair Wash. So my review is based on my experience solely with Mint Thyme Hair wash. Except the nice minty scent, I did not like it much because it did not give adequate lather. The texture is very thin, and I had to use 2- 3 times more than my usual shampoo amount, but still not good enough lather. I felt that my hair did not get clean. — 9 years, 1 month agoluckybetty | 895 reviews

By Rhonda Abrams, Special for USA TODAY
1. Review your books regularly. When you're running your business, you may not take the time to sit down and look at your financials. But you can't manage your money without having the facts. At least once a month, preferably once a week, look at your figures: accounts payable and receivable, expenses, cash flow, etc.
2. Send them your bill! I'm always surprised by how many businesspeople, especially consultants and professional service providers, delay sending out their invoices. You may feel uncomfortable asking someone for money, afraid of being challenged on how much you've billed, or just too busy working. But the longer you wait to send out your invoices, the greater the chance you won't get paid.
3. Watch your inventory. If you produce goods, you'll always be tempted to produce more because you get savings based on volume. But inventory can go "bad," become out-dated, unsaleable, time- or weather-worn.
Inventory doesn't just apply to finished goods for resale. You may have "inventory" in the form of marketing materials. Keep an eye on your actual use and make your purchases not only on the basis of price but whether you can get small quantities only when you actually need them.
4. Manage your growth. You want your business to get bigger, but if you grow too fast you may not be able to sustain it. Growth costs money; you incur many expenses before you see additional income. Plan your growth so you have the financial resources to pay for it.
5. Save. Every business has income fluctuations. The best way to have cash when you need it is to put some away when you've got it.
What would Rhonda ask: Questions for your accountant
• What kinds of taxes will I have to pay? What are my tax deadlines?
• How can I reduce my taxes? Which expenses are deductible, non-deductible or have to be depreciated?
• What kind of bookkeeping system should I set up? How can I set up systems to reduce the possibility of theft or embezzlement?
• How should I pay myself (salary or draw) and what are the tax implications?
• Should I use the cash or accrual form of bookkeeping?
• Do I need to keep track of inventory? If so, what method do I use?
• How do I handle payroll taxes?
• Do I have to collect sales tax? When? From whom?
• What are the implications of doing business in more than one state?
• What kind of retirement program can I set up and how much can I contribute each year? What kind of retirement programs can I set up for my employees?
• What other accounting and tax considerations are there for my type business?

Yankees closer Mariano Rivera became the second player in major-league history to reach 600 saves, pitching a scoreless ninth inning in the New York's 3-2 win over the Seattle Mariners.
It was his 41st save in 46 chances this season and 29th career against the Mariners.
PHOTOS: Mariano Rivera gallery
Rivera, 41, is one save shy from Trevor Hoffman's all-time record (601) and two from standing alone atop of the list.
Rivera is regarded as the most dominant closer of all-time. The 11-time All-Star signed with the Yankees as a non-drafted free agent in 1990. He recorded his first save on May 17, 1996, against the California Angels and never looked back.

"I reckon lots of smart people start blogging and don't find it rewarding because they don't get into a community whose praise and criticism can make it worthwhile. That community is what those of us who want to see a more thoughtful blogosphere should all try to build."I'd agree with his conclusion, but I think that the technology isn't quite there yet to support the development. Blog-posts disappear from view shortly after they are written in most cases. They aren't captured and indexed in a consistent way, and 'backlinks' aren't sufficiently effective or consistently applied. There isn't a fully developed form of 'collaborative filtering' in place yet (though this is developing all the time in different forms).
I keep emphasising the 'yet' bit of those sentences because it's pertinent.

Changing Unwanted Behavior
one of the most
simple and easily learned techniques for relaxation is Progressive
Muscle Relaxation (PMR), autogenics, while requiring considerable time
and discipline to learn, has more far-reaching benefits than simple muscle relaxation.
Composed of auto- (from the Greek autos, self) and -genous (a
suffix meaning produced by, and reflecting the word genesis, creation),
the word was chosen by Johannes
Schultz,[1,2] a German doctor, to describe his original discovery first
published in 1932. Today, autogenics
training [3] teaches you to self-produce a feeling of warmth
and heaviness throughout your body, thereby experiencing a profound state
of physical relaxation, bodily health, and mental peace.
you become proficient at it, you can use autogenics to overcome addictions
(such as smoking or gambling), change unwanted behaviors (such as nail biting),
resolve phobias (such as fear of flying), and mitigate symptoms of physical
ailments.[4] If you tend to be a nervous or anxious person, autogenics can help
you find an inner place of calmness and emotional peace. If you are a highly sensitive
person, with autogenics you can learn to cope with environmental stimulation by dismissing
it from your attention rather than feel overwhelmed by it. In fact, you can use autogenics
to help overcome just about any psychological or physiological problem; the results will
vary according to the severity of the problem and according to your own discipline
and confidence.
Be advised, however,
that there is nothing mystical about this training. Its
pure physiology. But it can be a first step to real
training sequence takes about
If you
decide to pursue it, it will be one of the most important investments of
time you will ever make.
Moreover, if
you do make the investment of time, please send
a donation to this website to express your gratitude
for what you have received here.
What is the point of success if your heart is stained with ingratitude?
Gratitude is
joy to the heart.
The training
presented here does not take much actual time each day; it is based on discipline
over time. You can find dozens of other websites on the Internet that make
autogenicsand healing itselfseem simple and easy, so, as I say
throughout this website, take your choice: the
way, or the easy way. Remember: the only escape
from darkness is to seek the light.
Some people ask
about audio recordings for this training. But recordings only miss the point.
Remember: autogenics means self-produced. The purpose of this training
is to learn how to communicate with your body so as to take personal
responsibility for your life.
w w
w . G u i d e T o P s y c h o l o g y . c o m / a u t o g e n . h t
Here are some suggestions for
Practice in a
quiet place, alone. Unlike
however, it can be of help, if you prefer, to use soft environmental
sounds or ethereal New Age background music. Avoid all
other music because your physiological responses will be unconsciously influenced
by the melody and rhythm of the music.
Remove your shoes
and wear loose clothing.
Keep your eyes closed
while practicing. If you need to make notes for yourself to remember the material,
however, then it is okay to open your eyes to read the instructions; just close your
eyes again while you practice.
Again, unlike
it can help the initial training to lie flat on your back on a hard, carpeted
floor. This will enhance your ability to feel the heaviness of your arms
and legs.
After you have
mastered the complete training sequence, its preferable to practice
at least one session of your daily condensed Autogenics Formula (see
below) while sitting (or reclining, with your feet up) in a comfortable chair;
other than that, you can use your autogenic routine under any other circumstances
you like, whether sitting, standing, walking, or lying down.
Avoid eating,
smoking, or drinking before practice. Its
best to practice before meals rather than after, because the digestive processes
interferes with the relaxation process.
Never practice after using any
If you fall asleep
during a session, repeat that routine in your next session.
If you practice
in bed at night, plan on falling asleep before you complete your cycle.
Therefore, consider a practice session at night, in bed, to be in
addition to your basic practice.
When you finish
a session, relax with your eyes closed for a few seconds, and then get up
slowly. (Orthostatic hypotensiona sudden drop in blood pressure
due to standing up quicklycan cause you to faint.) Some people like
to count backwards from 5 to 1, timed to slow, deep breathing, and then say,
Eyes open. Supremely calm. Fully alert.
During the training,
you will be focusing intently on your inner experiences, to the exclusion
of external events. Therefore, it is possible that you might encounter some
kinds of hypnagogic (i.e., dream-like)
experiences in which bodily perceptions seem distorted. In general, just
ignore these things and they will pass. If you find them at all troubling,
then you might want to consult with a psychologist to try to understand the
particular meaning of these symptoms for you.
Above all, keep in mind that this is not a training that
can be rushed. So, please remember that even if you complete
any phase (or part of a phase) according to the specified repetitions, if
you dont actually feel the results of what you are saying, take the
time to repeat the phase (or the item of the phase). Maybe it will take you
four months instead of three. So what? The idea is not to finish
the training but to learn the material. If you compare the initial
extra work to the ultimate benefits over a lifetime, the burden
will seem light indeed.
The Breathing
Use this Warm-up before every
autogenics practice session, even after you have become proficient at the
more advanced exercises.
Begin a process
of deep breathing, exhaling to a mental count that is twice as long
as you inhale. With each breath cycle, increase the duration. For instance,
inhale counting, One, exhale counting, One,
Two. Inhale counting, One, Two; exhale counting,
One, Two, Three, Four. Go up the scale to six counts in,
twelve counts out. Then reverse: six counts in, twelve counts out;
five counts in, ten counts out; and so on, down to one count in,
two counts out.
Phase 1:
After the
Breathing Warm-up, begin this Phase 1 practice with your right arm.
(But if you are left-handed, begin, in this as in all other exercises, on
your left side.) Breathe deeply, one count in, one count out, and silently
repeat the following formulathe first half of each phrase (the part
before the /) as you inhale, the second half (the part after
the /) as you exhale:
My right arm
is getting / limp and heavy
68 times
My right arm
is getting / heavier and heavier
My right arm
/ is completely heavy
I feel / supremely
1 time
Practice this
routine two or three times a day, for three days. After that, continue
with the same basic routine structure but with the following
My left arm is getting
/ limp and heavy, etc. 3 days
Both my arms are getting
/ limp and heavy, etc. 3 days
My right leg is getting
/ limp and heavy, etc. 3 days
My left leg is getting
/ limp and heavy, etc. 3 days
Both my legs are getting
/ limp and heavy, etc. 3 days
My arms and legs are
getting / limp and heavy, etc. 3 days
The Phase
1 routine takes 21 days of practice.
At the
end of the 21 days, your last cycle of this routine will temporarily be known
as your final Heaviness
My arms and legs
are getting / limp and heavy
My arms and legs
are getting / heavier and heavier
My arms and legs
are / completely heavy
Phase 2:
Phase 2:
Begin with the
Warm-up breathing exercise. Do the final Heaviness Formula
with all the repetitions. (Heavinessand the muscular relaxation it
representsis critical to the rest of the training. So you need to master
it well right from the start.) At the end of the Heaviness Formula
add this exercise for warmth:
My right arm
is getting / limp and warm
My right arm
is getting / warmer and warmer
My right arm
/ is completely warm
Practice this
routine (the Heaviness Formula combined with the warmth exercises)
two or three times a day, for three days. After that, continue with
the same routine structure but with the following substitutions (remembering
to do the Warm-up breathing exercise and the Heaviness Formula
at the beginning of each practice session):
My left arm is getting
/ limp and warm, etc. 3 days
Both my arms are getting
/ limp and warm, etc. 3 days
My right leg is getting
/ limp and warm, etc. 3 days
My left leg is getting
/ limp and warm, etc. 3 days
Both my legs are getting
/ limp and warm, etc. 3 days
My arms and legs are
getting / limp and warm, etc. 3 days
The Phase
2 routine takes 21 days of practice.
At the
end of the 21 days, you may use a final
Formula to sum up the first two
My arms and legs
are getting / limp and heavy and warm
My arms and legs
are getting / heavier and warmer
My arms and legs
are / completely heavy and warm
Practice this
Heavy/Warm Formula (beginning with the Warm-up breathing exercise)
two or three times a day for one week.
Phase 3: A Calm
Do the
Warm-up. Then begin the following routine which incorporates your
previous work (the Heavy/Warm Formula) and adds the calm heart
12 times
My chest feels
/ warm and pleasant *
My heartbeat
is / calm and steady
* This phrase helps to achieve a
calm heart response, but it will be dropped after this exercise.
Practice this
routine two or three times a day for two weeks.
Phase 4:
Phase 4:
Do the
Warm-up. Then begin the following routine which incorporates all your
previous work and adds command of your breathing as well:
My breathing
is / supremely calm
Practice this
routine two or three times a day for two weeks.
By this time
you will probably have begun to notice some pleasant and surprising effects
from your practice. But continue on to further refine your sense of bodily
Phase 5:
Phase 5:
Do the
Warm-up. Then begin the following routine which helps you add a radiant
feeling of central warmth and peace to your body:
My stomach is
getting / soft and warm
Phase 6:
Phase 6: Cool
Do the
Warm-up. Then begin the following routine which helps you add a calm,
stabilizing sensation of coolness to your forehead:
My forehead is
/ cool
Condensed Autogenics
By this
time you should have mastered all the six phases of the basic training. Your
final condensed autogenics
formula will now be as
(as in previous sessions)
My arms and legs
are / heavy and warm
My heartbeat
and breathing are / calm and steady
My stomach is
/ soft and warm
To maintain your proficiency, practice at least once a
day. Some persons prefer going to sleep this way. If you maintain your practice
faithfully, you will find that by using only one or two cycles of the final
routine you can achieve a pleasant and calm autogenic state under almost
any circumstances.
But make no mistake:
It takes long, hard practice to master the exercises, and they take you only
as far as your own intelligence and desire will allow.

In general, changing unwanted behavior involves three basic

the behavior is and how much damage it causes to yourself and to

caused by the behavior.
To know the benefits
of new and different behavior.
It isnt
sufficient, however, that you know these things intellectually;
it is important to know them by feeling them in the depths of your
Autogenics can
be helpful in changing unwanted behavior because you can use your autogenics
skills to work through each of the three basic steps of change by actually
feeling the elements of each step with the help of autogenic visualization
and suggestion.
Of course, some
long-standing personality problems have roots deep in
unconscious conflicts, so you may need professional
psychotherapy rather than autogenics. Still, even
in these cases, the autogenics approach can be worth a try.
So heres
how to do it.
enter a state of relaxation by practicing your condensed autogenics
formula. This is important because the next
two steps (if done properly) will arouse considerable anxiety, and you need
to be able to reduce that anxiety again with your autogenics
create a negative mood state in which you visualize the harmful and disgusting
effects of the unwanted behavior. For example,
if you bite your fingernails, see the ugly, raw nails; notice how uncomfortable
and embarrassed you feel; see your fingers getting scarred and deformed.
If you smoke cigarettes, smell the stench of the smoke on your clothes and
body; see the stains on your fingers and teeth; notice your shortness of
breath and coughing; visualize the poisons coating your lungs and other internal
organs. After the intense negativity of this mood has been felt fully, reduce
the anxiety with relaxation.
contemplate how miserable and wretched your life will be if you do not change
your behavior. For example, if you bite
your fingernails, see yourself socially inhibited, fearful, and lonely, hiding
your hands from view everywhere you go. If you smoke cigarettes, see yourself
wheezing for breath and dying of cancer. Imagine your children suffering
from their own addictions because of your negative influence. After the intense
negativity of this mood has been felt fully, reduce the anxiety with
create a positive mood state in which you visualize the beneficial effects
of new, healthy behavior, all the while your anxiety from the previous step
begins to dissolve. For example, if you
now bite your fingernails, see yourself as you could be with beautiful nails,
moving your hands gracefully and without embarrassment. If you now smoke
cigarettes, see yourself as you could be, calm and confident, relaxed and
able to concentrate, free of frustration and tension, a positive influence
on others.
reinforce your positive mood with positive statements of
validation. Repeat them several times. Create
your own, or select from the following examples.
Be careful, though,
not to tell yourself lies. If you try to claim that you have the most brilliant
mind imaginable, that you will trample all competition underfoot, or that
you will become the greatest such-and-such the world has ever seen, then
such narcissism will lead you right into self-destruction and everlasting
loneliness. But if you successfully complete the autogenics training, all
the statements below are honest and humble reflections of the discipline,
patience, and respect for your body that the training requires.
My confidence is strong and steady.
I can deal with everything as it happens. I have no need for [cigarettes,
coffee, alcohol, drugs, etc]. Substances no longer control me.
My [fingernails, hair, thumb] are[/is]
an important part of my body, so I will care for them[/it] with kindness.
I have no need to harm them[/it] or [bite, twist, pull, suck, etc.]
I have no need to rush or be concerned
about my speech. I can talk slowly and clearly. Just as I can take one calm
breath after another, I can speak calmly, one articulate syllable at a time.
I have no need to stutter.
I can work calmly and confidently.
My mind will not wander. My self-confidence will not be bothered by small
mistakes. I can meet all obstacles with confidence.
I approach all tasks with a calm
focus on the matter at hand. I do not lose my concentration by distractions.
I act with discipline and resolve.
I listen to and respect my own body.
I can present myself to others with respect and dignity. I will listen to
and respect others.
I can remain calm, relaxed, and composed
in any situation.
I can dissolve tension and anxiety
before it builds.
All cravings will pass within 10
minutes. I have the patience to remain calm and to wait.
My calmness and patience can result
in compassion and understanding. I can get along well with anyone. I will
return kindness to any insult.
My experience of peace and calm is
not threatened by anything outside myself. I have no need for rivals; I have
no use for jealousy. I wish good to all persons.
There are no good days
or bad days. I can do what needs to be done at all times. I uphold
my promises and value my word. In my relaxation, an unlimited source of ideas
is available to help me.
conclude with a simple closure to the relaxation
session. Take a few deep breaths and affirm
that I feel / supremely calm.

can help to alleviate a persons anxiety about the developing symptoms

anxiety wont fan the flames of the symptoms. This doesnt mean
that relaxation practice can cure a disease, but relaxation can
delay the progress of a disease and minimize the symptoms. Nevertheless,
its always possible that a person of strong belief can use autogenic
suggestions to so minimize the negative effects of the symptoms that the
person does not become incapacitated to such an extent as other persons without
such relaxation practice. Therefore, its well worth the tryand
not just for the specific symptoms of a disease, but especially because
Autogenics practice could promote a generally enhanced quality of life. All
that matters is that you believe in the depths of your heart that there will
be benefits.

| In this epic, the author chronicles one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of a better life. From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America; she compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves. With historical detail, she tells this story through the lives of three unique individuals: Ida Mae Gladney, who in 1937 left sharecropping and prejudice in Mississippi for Chicago, where she achieved quiet blue-collar success and, in old age, voted for Barack Obama when he ran for an Illinois Senate seat; George Starling, who in 1945 fled Florida for Harlem, where he endangered his job fighting for civil rights, saw his family fall, and finally found peace in God; and Robert Foster, who left Louisiana in 1953 to pursue a medical career, the personal physician to Ray Charles as part of a successful medical career, which allowed him to purchase a grand home where he often threw exuberant parties. The author captures their first treacherous and exhausting cross-country trips by car and train and their new lives in colonies that grew into ghettos, as well as how they changed these cities with southern food, faith, and culture and improved them with discipline, drive, and hard work. This book is an account of an "unrecognized immigration" within our own land.

Ms. LANDRIEU. Mr. President, before the Senator from California leaves the floor, for a much needed rest and relaxation and celebration with her extraordinary staff, let me be one of the first to thank her, to join my colleagues who have thanked her for her leadership.
This Transportation bill would not be a reality for the Nation--not for California, Texas, New York, or Louisiana,--if it weren't for the leadership of the chairperson of this committee. Senator Rockefeller was there to push, Senator Baucus was there to push, Senator Johnson was there to push, but the leader of this victory was Senator Barbara Boxer.
Her colleague, Senator Inhofe, stood bravely against winds of opposition, ideology, without common sense--ideology without regard to the needs of the Nation. Senator Inhofe, a Republican, stood against those winds and with the Senator from California to produce a jobs bill for the Nation.
I hope people appreciate the extraordinary accomplishment this is in the context of the political quagmire we find ourselves in just a few months before a very significant national election, with both sides hugging the opposite wall. For these two to come forward today and meet in the middle of the Chamber and produce a bill with this kind of vote, people did not think it was possible up until just a few weeks ago. There was still the majority saying it will never happen.
But I know something about Barbara Boxer, as well. She came here as a fighter. Her name ``Boxer'' says it all. It is the way she fought her way to the Senate, and she
continues to fight not just for the people of California but the people of the Nation.
I knew 2 years ago--now a little over 2 years ago--when the Deepwater Horizon platform blew up in the gulf, one of the first people I could go to, to ask for help, for support, for ideas and advice about what to do would be Senator Boxer. She is a strong environmentalist. She has a heart for our oceans, and she understood the challenge of Louisiana's eroding coastline--more so than many Members in this body.
I will be forever grateful for the fact that she and her staff sat with me and other colleagues and crafted the RESTORE Act, which is a historic piece of legislation. It has no precedent in Congress. It will, for the first time, set aside such a significant amount of money from a penalty that has yet to be determined by a polluter that has been determined--BP--that under the law, after the Valdez spill, now has to pay to the Federal Government $1,000 for every barrel of oil that was spilled or gushed out of the explosion for months on end. They have to pay $1,000 for every barrel of oil that was spilled. The estimates are that, unfortunately for our coast, our people, our fishermen, shrimpers, charter boat captains, and the pelicans, fish, shrimp, and oystermen, for us it was 5 million barrels of oil spilled between August and July, until the well was capped. It is the largest pollution event in the history of the Nation. It will be the largest fine.
I have every confidence that the people of the gulf coast and the Nation will find justice in the courts. I hope this fine is as high as it can be, based on the damage that has been done from Texas to Florida and off the coast of Louisiana. When I brought this to Senator Boxer, she understood that we had to find a way for justice in the gulf. I crafted the RESTORE Act with my colleague Dick Shelby. For months we negotiated about how to craft it, what to say, how to specifically direct the funding, and had the benefit of having the support of the White House, the support of every commission and every individual appointed by the President supportive of this idea.
So I first thank the VP's Presidential commission that was one of the first to step up and support this concept of an 80-percent set-aside and redirect to the gulf.
I particularly thank Secretary Ray Mabus, whom we will remember led the President's first commission, former Governor of Mississippi, who knows the gulf coast well and understands Louisiana's coast as a neighbor for so long. He stepped up and said: Yes, this is the right thing to do. We had hundreds--and, really, thousands--of individuals and hundreds of organizations that started to come forward.
Let me name a few: the Environmental Defense Fund was absolutely instrumental, National Audubon Society, National Wildlife Federation, Nature Conservancy, Ocean Conservancy, Oxfam America, and GNO, Inc.--Greater New Orleans, Inc. They were some of the first organizations to step up.
The Greater Houston Partnership was invaluable in the early days to build support among the business community, as were the Mobile Chamber of Commerce, Ducks Unlimited, America's WETLAND Foundation, Restore or Retreat--a vibrant local and dynamic organization in south Louisiana--Chamber of Southwest Louisiana, Baton Rouge Area Foundation, and Women of the Storm--representing thousands of women, not just throughout the gulf coast, but as well from your State and every State. Women stepped up who said this kind of accident has to stop. This kind of explosion should never happen again.
Most important, they said the people who were hurt the most, the area damaged the worst should be compensated by this fine. This money should not come to the general fund of the United States to be spent everywhere else in the Nation for a variety of unrelated purposes. The RESTORE Act says: No, the right way for this money to be allocated is to the area where the accident occurred, where the injury occurred, and that is exactly what RESTORE does--no more and no less.
There is one other person who deserves particular thanks and a shoutout, and that is the Senator from Rhode Island Sheldon Whitehouse. When Senator Shelby and I finished crafting this bill, which was introduced by a few colleagues--a similar bill--on the House side, Representative Steve Scalise, Cedric Richmond, and Representative Bonner from Alabama--we were having a great deal of difficulty moving a bill through a committee that only had two gulf coast Members and Senator Boxer.
The other Members were sympathetic but not that enthusiastic, and I can most certainly understand why. As you know, this is going to be a tremendous amount of money. It is going to direct these funds to only five States. They were sympathetic, but what was in it for everyone else? Sheldon Whitehouse and I put our heads together and came up--it was his idea--with the bill itself and thought maybe we could, as a part of RESTORE--an integral part of RESTORE--say perhaps the oceans deserved justice as well because water knows no boundaries.
What happened in the gulf could have impacts in the Atlantic, up the Atlantic, and out to the Pacific. Who knows. And that is the problem. We don't have enough scientific research going on in this Nation about our oceans, which is 70 percent of our planet. In Louisiana, we derive great pleasure, joy, and income from our oceans, and from our oil and gas exploration, which is usually safe, on any normal day. This was not a normal day in the gulf, not a normal operation when the Horizon rig blew up. We get our fish, our oysters, our seafood industry, our restaurant industry, our hotels, and our ecotourism--and I could go on and on--from the ocean. We make our living from the ocean. Senator Whitehouse and I thought--and I think most reasonable people agreed--the oceans deserve something out of this. So at no cost to the five States, we put in a provision that a small portion--a half percent of the interest earnings that would be generated--not the fund itself, not taking money away from the gulf coast, as some have claimed, but appropriately saying interest earnings--would create a trust fund for the oceans so that every State could use it for research along their coast.
But that was a bridge too far for the Republican leaders in the House who think we can learn nothing, who want no partnerships, no research whatsoever, I guess, to go on in the oceans. So as that amendment became a part of the committee process over here, we had that amendment connected to RESTORE at the committee level. It was part of RESTORE. It was moved to the floor and it enabled us to build a broader coalition, which is the way legislation is built. It is not one person's idea. It is not one person's work. The best of the bills and legislation we pass are about teams, about generosity and sharing and understanding, a little give here, a little take there.
It is a shame there are some people on the other side of this Capitol who don't seem to know that is the basic operation of a democracy. I am not sure what books they read in school, but they weren't the ones we read at Ursuline Academy, taught by the Ursuline nuns. But Sheldon Whitehouse read those same books, and we put this bill together. I couldn't have been happier. Not only could I go home and say we did this great thing for the Gulf of Mexico and that everyone came together to help us in our time of need, but I could also look at our great friends from other parts of the country and say there is a portion in here for the oceans.
That is how the bill came to the floor. One of my proudest days, in my 16 years here in the Senate, was when this Senate voted, under the leadership of Senator Boxer and myself and Senator Shelby, for this bill--the RESTORE Act--with 76 votes. I don't think the transportation bill itself got 76 votes, to indicate how difficult it is to get 76 votes. Other than just for immaterial items, it is hard to get 76 votes for apple pie and Mother's Day greetings. But we got 76 votes, and I was so proud. Not only was it the right thing to do--a great help to the region I help to represent--but also very fair, with the inclusion also of the land and water, which was not part of RESTORE but an amendment that was put on to help this effort with other parts of the country. So the good news is we passed that bill and paid for it in full over here with a pay-for that was also agreed to by 76 Senators.
But when the bill went over to the House, one of the first and most serious detrimental things that happened was the oceans endowment trust fund was stripped out. I want those who stripped it out to know this: We will be back. We are going to lead a coalition of Democrats and Republicans in the Senate who are going to send a strong message to House Republicans that the oceans do deserve our time, our attention, our love and support and our money. We can't do this on a wish and a prayer. We have wildlife and fish and migratory birds that depend on healthy oceans. The people of our country and the world depend on that.
This will not be the last time they see the national oceans endowment. I will be proud to have my name right next to Sheldon Whitehouse's and we will go into battle again.
But around here, you don't win everything every day, and so they cut it out. But we will put it back and it will be bigger and stronger than it was when they took it out.
The other thing the House Republicans did, which I have no understanding of why, to pay for this RESTORE Act, the student loans, the transportation bill, and the flood insurance bill, is they took $700 million away from Louisiana's Medicaid budget. I will have more to say about the details of that later, because I want to stay focused on RESTORE, but I want to put in the record what our Commissioner of Administration said, who, of course, works for Republican Governor Bobby Jindal, and Republican Secretary of Health and Hospitals Bruce Greenstein:
..... the loss of more than $400 million--
And that was in fiscal year 2013, and it was another $250 million, so it was $650 in 2014.
--in so-called FMAP money, already built into the state's Fiscal 2013 budget passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Bobby Jindal, would altogether lead to a loss in Medicaid dollars that would require $1.1 billion in cuts.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record a copy of this quote from Paul Rainwater and Bruce Greenstein.
Ms. LANDRIEU. The House Republicans who came up with this idea insisted on this offset when there were others that could have been offered that were much more fair, much less impactful, and much less hurtful. There were some Republican Members who absolutely insisted this offset be included, and so the Republican Governor Bobby Jindal, with a Republican legislature and a Republican delegation in the House, will have to find a way forward. I am not sure what that way is going to be, but when the bill left the Senate that was not even discussed under any circumstance whatsoever.
But even this terrible action taken on the House side cannot diminish the extraordinary victory of the RESTORE Act. Bills such as this, that basically distribute anywhere from $5 billion to $20 billion for coastal restoration efforts, take years, even decades to pass. We did this in 2 years, working together, staying focused, and building a support structure nationwide from the business community to the environmental community. The Chamber of Commerce stepped up, the American Petroleum Institute did their part, and many of the oil and gas companies stepped up as well. With the coalition of environmentalists, business organizations, wildlife enthusiasts, we were able to get this significant bill passed. It is going to be a tremendous downpayment for the challenge in the gulf coast.
Let me, for the record, say again that there were 86,985 square miles of water closed to fishing, approximately 36 percent of Federal waters in the gulf that were closed to fishing for months, causing a loss to the industry of $2.5 billion. There were 600 miles of the gulf coastline that were oiled. Over half of those miles were in Louisiana, and some oil is still lingering. In fact, scientists who have been studying the baseline said the erosion of the marsh that was oiled was eroding at twice the speed as normal, and that normal erosion is pretty breathtaking in terms of its rate.
We have lost basically the size of the State of Rhode Island in the last 50 years. If our delegation is not successful in continuing to have victories such as this, it is conceivable, with the climate change that is happening, the rising of the tides and the frequency of these great storms, that one day, if we are not successful in preserving these wetlands--and these are wetlands of all of America, that drain 40 percent of our Nation, that supply 40 percent of the fisheries to everybody, and 80 percent of the oil and gas to everyone--that New Orleans will be existing as a city with a 30-foot concrete levee around it and everything else washed away--our culture, our hope, our way of life.
I have said this a thousand times: We are not sunbathing here in south Louisiana. We are not vacationing in south Louisiana. We have fun, we have weekends where we fish and we hunt, but we are not vacationing for weeks and weeks in south Louisiana, lying on the beach and getting a tan. There are no beaches to lie on. We only have two. Grand Isle is 7 miles long, and Holly Beach, which got washed away in Rita and still has not been rebuilt.
The Corps of Engineers continues to tell me there is nothing they can do for the last inhabited island off the coast of Louisiana. Well, there is a lot they can do, and we will see to that in another bill. But we want these wetlands preserved for our children, for our grandchildren, and for the economic vitality of the Nation. This is the mouth of the greatest river system in North America and we intend to save what we can. We will never get everything back. We have lost 1,900 square miles since 1930. We lose 25 square miles of wetlands each year, and we lose a football field every 30 minutes.
Two million people live in coastal Louisiana, about 1/2 million in Mississippi, about 1 million in Alabama, and probably about 4 million in Texas. We cannot get up and move. There is no place to go. We don't want to live in Arkansas and Missouri. We want to live on the gulf coast, and we have been there since before this Nation was a nation, and we are not leaving. We are tired of retreating. We know this can be done. We have been to The Netherlands and places around the world where wetlands have been saved--levees built that don't break. It is cost effective in the long run. In the short run it costs investment. In the long run, it creates wealth for everyone.
Three trillion dollars is contributed to the national economy by the gulf coast every year, 17 percent of the national GDP comes from the gulf coast every year, 50 percent of all the oil and gas that fuels this Nation comes from the gulf coast, and 80 percent comes from offshore. Every year, despite how much we do, we get zero back from offshore oil and gas drilling off our shore. The interior States have received 50 percent since 1923, but not Texas, not Louisiana, not Mississippi, and not Alabama. We drill, drill, drill, and send oil everywhere, keeping lights on everywhere. The pipelines just run through our State. We are happy to have the industry, but we would like to share the revenues with the Federal Government. We send to the Federal Government about $6 billion a year, and have for decades. So when people say, don't you ever get embarrassed by asking for so much money? No. I could not possibly ask for as much money from Washington as we have already sent here. So I am going to continue to ask for funding for our State because we send off of our coast, and we are happy to do it, but we believe in fair partnerships and mutual respect. And until we get that, I am not going to stop advocating for our State. So RESTORE is a first step. It is the right step.
It is the fair step and justice for the goals for right now. This isn't taxpayer money. No taxpayers are paying this. BP is going to pay this. But we are going to come back next year and talk about the sharing of the tax revenues that the oil companies--not individuals but the oil companies--pay to the Federal Government every year for every barrel of oil, every cubic foot of gas they take out of the gulf. That sharing should be done not just here in America, it should be done off the coast of Africa, off the coast of South Africa, off the coast of Brazil, off the coast of Ghana, so the people who live along the coast can be respected, since that is where the drilling and the exploration is taking place.
Just as people in North Dakota and Utah and Wyoming share their revenues with the Federal Government, we intend to have a more robust revenue-sharing effort in the future. But until the day that happens--and I am confident, as sure as I am standing here, it will--this RESTORE money will go as a significant downpayment to help jump-start coastal efforts. We are not doing it like every man or woman for himself. It is not a grab bag for Governors. Senator Shelby and I carefully crafted this so the money will be spent wisely, well, and efficiently in coordination with the Federal and State governments.
Is it going to be perfect? No. I am sure we are going to have some stumbling blocks. But this is unprecedented in its nature. This kind of public works effort has never been undertaken in this great way. So the scientists hopefully will lead us, the engineers and designers will design what we need, and we can continue giving our best effort in hopes of saving a great place on this Earth; that is, the great marshes of the gulf coast and the great delta that this mighty Mississippi River built thousands and thousands of years ago and leave it better to our grandchildren than most certainly we found it.
It has been a wonderful part of my life's work. It has been a worthy project to work on. There are others who have most certainly joined me in this leadership. But I am very proud of the work this Senate did and very disappointed in some things the House did on it. But as Senator Boxer said, it is legislation and we just can't have a perfect bill. It was better to get this than to leave it on the cutting-room floor, even though they did leave important pieces of it there.
I wish to thank Senator Boxer's staff, in particular, Senator Inhofe's staff for being so courteous, and Senator Boxer's staff for being very tenacious--to Tina and Jason particularly--to help us negotiate one of the great environmental pieces of legislation in decades.
I yield the floor.
Ms. LANDRIEU. Mr. President, I forgot to thank my own staff, which would be very important to do. Elizabeth Weiner, Elizabeth Craddock, Jane Campbell, my chief of staff, and my entire staff for their tremendous work--we are all going to get a good rest in the week to come--and other staff, Tanner Johnson in particular, no longer with my staff but who put the original bill together.
I yield the floor, and I suggest the absence of a quorum.

I must have missed the conversation where "Sci-fi" and "Science Fiction" were different. That might be interesting to read since I imagine it being as polite as most political talk.
Regarding the voting process, after January is done we will have 1 selection and up to 6 categories that have been fully nominated. For the February nomination/voting, should we start the nominations by keeping the runner(s) up from January or even all the fully nominated categories from January except the selected one as fully nominated to start it off?
For example, assume "Runners Up", "Award Winners", "Classics" and "Science Fiction" are fully nominated for January and then "Runners Up" gets selected with "Award Winners" in second. We can start the February nomination period with either "Award Winners" fully nominated or with all 3 non-selected categories fully nominated since there is obviously interest in those categories. For those who want a repeat category, it could be re-nominated and voted on again during the nomination period.

I recently installed a 15A GFCI in the first outlet from the entrance panel on a basement circuit that powers 5 wall outlets and 3 ceiling light fixtures that use the new CF bulbs. The maximum current on that circuit is never over about 6 or 7 amps according to my calculations. One light fixture is on a 14awg wire running off of another fixture, so even though most of the circuit is 12awg wire I used a 15A GFCI and installed a 15A breaker in the main panel because of that 14awg section of wire which would be very difficult to replace with heavier wire.
OK, that's the wiring set up, here's my problem. I am getting way too many GFCI nuisance trips, especially during thunder storms, which of course knocks out the entire circuit. That wouldn't be a major problem except that one of the outlets powers a small 7 cubic foot freezer which needs to be kept running. I want to spend some time with my son and his family in another city this summer, but I am afraid to leave home for any long period of time because if the GFCI trips while I'm away for a few days the freezer will be off and a lot of expensive meat will spoil. Would installing a GFCI breaker in the main panel in place of the normal breaker for that circuit help the nuisance tripping situation, or would replacing all of the regular receptacles on the circuit with GFCIs work better? I want to have the basement receptacles GFCI protected according to NEC code, but I also need to have them reliable.
Another idea had crossed my mind at first, but I don't know if it would work. If I replaced the 14awg section on the circuit with 12 awg wire and then replaced the 15A GFCI with a 20A would that reduce the nuisance tripping? Replacing that section of wire would be difficult but not impossible. If there is no quick and easy fix to the tripping problem, when I leave home I may have to leave the freezer plugged into my heavy duty 50 foot 12awg extension cord that I would plug into a 20A receptacle on the main floor of the house. I know that isn't advisable according to what I read in the Wiring Simplified book, but it may be the best I will be able to do under the circumstances..

Teen's arrest pushes issue of retail bias
The usual scenario involves suspicious glances, inattentive clerks or rude service — not handcuffs.
Yet when a black teen said he was wrongly jailed after buying a $350 belt at a Manhattan luxury store, it struck a nerve in African-Americans accustomed to finding that their money is not necessarily as good as everyone else's. Shopping while black, they say, can be a humiliating experience.
Much attention has been paid to the issue over the years — Oprah Winfrey complained that a Swiss clerk did not think she could afford a $38,000 handbag, and President Obama has said he was once followed in stores. But many people don't recognize how prevalent retail discrimination is and how the constant stream of small insults adds up to a large problem.
"It's one thing if you don't understand. But don't ever tell me it doesn't happen to me," said Natasha Eubanks, who shops often at high-end stores in New York City. "You can't assume it doesn't happen just because it doesn't happen to you."
Sometimes, Eubanks said, it takes clerks more than five minutes to simply acknowledge her presence. Or they brush her off with a token greeting. Or they ask her question after question: "You're a black girl up in Chanel. They want to know what you're doing here and what you do for a living."
"I don't look like that typical chick who walks into that type of store," said Eubanks, owner of celebrity website theYBF.com. "It feels differently than when you go into a store and are treated properly."
Trayon Christian's problem was not how he was treated when he went into Barneys New York — it was what happened afterward. In a lawsuit, the 19-year-old said that he bought a Ferragamo belt in the Manhattan store, and when he left, he was accosted by undercover city police officers.
According to the lawsuit, police said Christian "could not afford to make such an expensive purchase." He was arrested and detained, though he showed police the receipt, the debit card he used and identification, the lawsuit said.
After Christian's lawsuit was filed, another black Barneys shopper said she was accused of fraud after purchasing a $2,500 handbag, and black actor Robert Brown said he was paraded through Macy's in handcuffs and detained for an hour, accused — falsely — of credit card fraud.
For Yvonne Chan, the reports were a painful reminder of when she worked in a liquor store in a predominantly white Massachusetts town. Every few months, someone would be caught stealing, and about half the time, it was a black person.
"You find yourself watching black people. (The stealing) only happens once in a while, but it changes your perception," Chan said.
Chan, a graduate student, tried to remind herself not to act on stereotypes, but said, "Like it or not, I'm going to have a preconceived notion of races from my experiences. As much as I would like to force my brain not to think like that and put everyone on an even playing field, stereotypes play a role in our society ... we skew the view of people as individuals."
Those skewed views can affect who gets arrested for retail theft, said Jerome Williams, a business professor at Rutgers University who has studied marketplace discrimination.
Many people justify racial profiling by saying that black customers are more likely to steal. But one study has shown that white women in their 40s engage in more shoplifting than other demographic groups, Williams said.
"The reason they don't show up in crime statistics is because people aren't watching them," Williams said.
Statistics that show a disproportionate rate of theft by black customers "are not really an indication of who's shoplifting," he said. "It's a reflection of who's getting caught. That's a reflection of who's getting watched. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy."

Salamon is a Mammal Digimon whose Japanese name and design are derived from the Plott Hound dog breed, though it is also a pun on "Prototype", and whose English name is derived from Terri-Lei O'Malley's pet cat. It is a Holy-species Digimon child characterized by its lop ears. Because it is still very young, it is unable to manifest its holy powers, and isn't even aware of its own mission. For that reason it is naturally insecure, so it can become either good or evil. However, the time will come someday when Salamon, who was born as a Holy-species Digimon, will awaken to its mission as one of the "Virus Busters". Also, Salamon is an experimental Digimon that was created by Digimon researchers, and because it was made to imitate the pets that live with humans, it has an appearance close to that of a real animal.[5] Salamon wears a Holy Ring around its neck.

Louis Colewrote a review of Gnu Park Pickle BTX Snowboard on March 14, 2011
The Pickle Tickle
Once you strap into this board there is no going back. the flex on the pickle will slay anything you put under you feet; the pop is equal of better than the skate banana. The asymmetric side cut really helps set up your front side spins. The magna-traction cut in to the ice and gives you extra security. This is my favorite board, especially in this price range. If your in the market for a rocker freestyle/park board; i couldn't recommend anything better.

Canada says it has invoked a "national security exception" that could exclude China's Huawei Technologies from a role in helping to build its new super-secure government telecommunications network.
Ottawa announced the move after the United States House Intelligence Committee warned in Washington on Monday that equipment supplied by two Chinese firms, Huawei Technologies and ZTE, could be used for spying.
"The government is going to be choosing carefully in the building of this network and it has invoked a national security exception," said Andrew MacDougall, spokesman for Prime Minister
Ottawa invoked its "national security exception" to trade agreements in the building of its massive data and telecommunications network.
Huawei is already providing high-speed networks for private Canadian firms Bell Canada, Telus, SaskTel and Wind Mobile, but Canadian authorities remain wary about the role it might play as the country rebuilds networks damaged by cyber attacks in 2010.
The Canadian move came as China continued to react angrily to the US congressional report.
Chinese authorities dismissed the charge as "groundless" and suggested it could undermine co-operation between the world's two largest economies.
"It is based on subjective speculation and false foundations," said Shen Danyang, a spokesman for China's Commerce Department.
The state-run Xinhua News Agency said the report reflected a "Cold War mentality as well as protectionism". Hong Lei, a spokesman for China's Foreign Ministry, said: "We hope the US Congress will put aside its prejudice, respect the facts and do more to promote China-US trade relations, not the opposite."
US intelligence officials and privacy security analysts have long worried about the potential of the companies to build what are called "back doors" into their systems, allowing secret access for spies. Back doors can be built into the hardware of chips, installed in software or slipped in later, through online updates.
"When you do the updates, when you do the patches, that's when you can do the interesting stuff," said James Lewis, a cyber security expert at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, in Washington.
"If the People's Liberation Army asked Huawei to do them a favour, would Huawei be able to say 'No'?"
The companies have vehemently rejected such allegations, saying that building back doors into their systems could destroy their multibillion-dollar businesses by undermining customer trust. At a hearing before the House Intelligence Committee last month, Huawei senior vice-president Charles Ding said such a move would be "corporate suicide".
A former top intelligence official with Canada's spy agency, Ray Boisvert, told the Canadian Broadcasting Commission he agreed with the risks outlined by Washington.
Shared Services Canada, the ministry tasked with building the government's new network, also issued a statement saying it "takes cyber security seriously and operates on the advice of security experts".
"Our government has put in place a cyber security strategy designed to defend against electronic threats, hacking and cyber espionage," the ministry said.
Meanwhile, a committee of British MPs and peers is considering an inquiry into Huawei. A decision to curb Huawei's activities in Britain could delay major infrastructure projects, including building the country's new 4G mobile phone networks and BT's national fibre broadband lines, experts warn.

Hello again friends!
I would like your honest and valuable input and feedback on my (rejected) HTML Template. I have revived the project, as I had some ideas that could make it push through, like animated backgrounds, etc.
After 2 weeks of hard work and polishing, while listening to your and the reviewer's feedback, here's the version 1.2 of my theme:http://roussounelosweb.gr/achilles1.2/
Please spare some time to comment on my progress and on my chances to get approved this time. A staff / reviewer reply would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you in advance, Nikos Roussounelos
Hey Nikos
Alright man here i go as i said before i love this template man.
Here is what i would do,
I would get rid of the black top and add all that to the footer so your main header is on top.
I still think that the fonts are not the right choice for the theme use maybe a Lobster font or something thin like the Titillium font for titles.
The footer columns are not separated add in a vertical line like the horizontal divider lines you are using for the separation.
The menu is sick man love it.
Try to separate the sidebar with something like a vertical line.
The galleries and blog stuff is cool love the hovers.
I think if you improve the fonts and add some separation between some of the content i mentioned the file looks good to me but that is just my opinion.
Cheers man and good luck with it.
Lester said it all
A few more: - If you are not good at font, use the Arial or Helvetica. - submenu is good, but the main menu need adjustment.The alignment, sizes. and the header bar need room room to breath.
One question before you continue. We have so many similar themes available here, what make this template better than others? You need to answer this question to yourself
I hope this help
Ok, time for supper and euro 2012!!!!
Thanks again for your time, Lester!
Hmmm… I also thought of adding a vertical seperator to enhance visual hierarchy and spacing, will definitely look into it.
I'll also try moving the top part to the footer, although I sense that will isolate the logo and menu too much.
As for the font choice, I HATE TYPOGRAPHY ! It seems so hard for me to pick the right fonts… Will download some more fonts to test.
Last but not least, I've been trying to find some time to check your template and reply, will try tonight
Thank you again, Nikos

Thanks a ton for your time, kailoon!
Yes, will surely try to adress both the issues you and Lester mentioned, and will probably resort to Arial for font, as I really suck at it
From my past rejections, and from the templates being accepted every day, I have come to the conclusion that uniqueness is one of the most important issues for approval, that's why I added animated backgrounds, so many options, etc. But will look into much more ahead.
Could you please give me a rough estimate on how close I am to approval? Pretty please?
Thanks again, Nikos
If you add a bg animation, please make sure you do it right and it is part of the design / function, not just for decoration, you get what I mean?
That depend on how hard you can push on this, I can only say it has potential if, you mange to improve the existing issues.
Man, take a break! Watch football match!
Opps, Greece is out, but that's OK, they play a great game!!
I think it's gonna be a Spain vs Italy match. Sorry for getting off topic.
Nikos you have good ideas just use them and you will see your template on TF. You have the right idea. I learned that picking the right font either makes or breaks a template so this is probably one of the biggest demons. Hehe I think anyways. Also when you pick fonts don't pick too many stick with like 2 that will display in your logo, menu, titles, buttons and so on.
Also as i mentioned separating content is important as well. The rest of the stuff is cool.
Ouch that hurt
No update?
Post it when you are done.
Hello again people! Been working for 21 hours straight but I've managed a great improvement! Please check it out and offer feedback.http://roussounelosweb.gr/achilles1.2/

FRACKING in the Cotswolds could become commonplace after the government announced that energy companies are now able to bid for controversial licences that will allow them to drill for natural gas in the region's countryside.
A map issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change shows that the Cotswolds, and other parts of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, have been identified as areas with a sufficient supply of shale gas deposits.
Hydraulic fracturing, known commonly as fracking, is a technique designed to recover natural gas from shale rocks buried deep beneath the ground.
Fracking companies are now being invited to bid against one another to acquire the relevant licences to carry out exploratory shale drilling in the Cotswolds.
A spokesman for the DECC told the Standard that, in addition to a government licence, companies would also need permission from landowners and the planning authority before drilling can begin.
Local campaigners have slammed the news with many saying that it will be detrimental to the iconic Cotswold landscape.
"I think a lot of people are beginning to realise just how much fracking will affect our environment. It really isn't suitable for this part of the country," said Dr Jonathan Whittaker, a Cirencester dentist who has carried out extensive research on fracking.
"The latest poll said that 47 per cent of people are against fracking and that only 17 per cent are in favour of it, with the rest being undecided," he said.
The government has suggested that a major fracking effort would deliver about 25 per cent of the country's annual gas needs and create around 35,000 jobs.
Many believe that fracking could also drive gas prices down, although this has been disputed by Cirencester-based Green Party member Bob Irving.
He said: "A large part of the Cotswolds is not even connected to mains gas anyway. Residents could have gas being pumped out of the bottom of their street but not see any of the benefits."
Mr Irving also warned that, should drilling go ahead, a whole new road network would have to be built in order to accommodate lorries travelling to the fracking sites.
Even though all of Wiltshire is included in the map showing areas under consideration for licencing, Clive Humphries, founder member of Keep Wiltshire Frack Free said there was little awareness in the county of the fracking issue. "That is one reason why I started the group."
He suggested: "Ignorance, maybe apathy. That will all change once the first cases of pollution come to light, which they inevitably will."
"Most of our politicians seem to be in denial that there is any harm to anyone from fracking."
Speaking last year, North Wiltshire MP James Gray said that he was very much in favour of fracking if it could help deliver the country's energy needs.
While Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, MP for the Cotswolds, said that any proposal of fracking would need to be subjected to an extensive public consultation.
Despite fracking licences being up for grabs, Alan Bently, acting strategic development manager, at Gloucestershire County Council, said currently there were no planning applications for fracking in the county.

Hilltop Hoods in London
This is the official Hilltop Hoods show recap of their performance at the Electric Ballroom in London. Performing to a sell-out crowd, Hilltop dropped a number of tracks from the new album "Drinking from the Sun" along with some classics. I was fortunate enough to meet and interview MC's Suffa and Pressure after the event, for an exclusive interview which will be live in the forthcoming weeks. You can watch the official Hilltop Hoods in London video on the youtube player below.
