LUSH -- Hair Care Products: Hybrid Solid Shampoo )normal hair)
Fabulous shampoo bar. Solid shampoo? I was dubious at first, but it lathers better and rinses cleaner than any liquid shampoo I've ever tried. This is the only shampoo I've ever used that has caused someone to ask me, "Your hair is so shiny! What shampoo do you use?" as if I was in some freakin' haircare commercial on TV. It's shampoo and conditioner in one, and the lemon-fennel scent totally rocks.

According to a report on Newsday.com, new Mets general manager Sandy Alderson will not choose Brooklyn Cyclones manager Wally Backman as the new skipper for the rudderless team.
Some names the article tosses out as candidates are former Brewers manager Ken Macha and Mets third-base coach Chip Hale.
Now that Backman is seemingly out of the picture, who is your choice for manager? What do you think the Mets should look for in a manager? A big name with experience or a no-name who has nothing to lose and something to prove? According to the Newsday article, it would seem Alderson is looking for someone closer to the latter.
UPDATE: Joe Girardi reportedly will sign a three-year $9 million extension with the Yankees, so obviously he's off the list of potential managers.

ICC Intercontinental Cup Day 1 - Canada vs. Afghanistan
Afhganistan Take Day 1 Honours
August 2, 2011
A spirited day where Canada took all 10 Afghan wickets came to a screeching halt on Tuesday as Canada's top order capitulated losing 4 wickets for 21 runs in 12 overs to leave Canada teetering at 21-4
Earlier in the day, Canada won the toss and elected to bowl on the green top. Zahid Hussain (3-56) was the pick of the bowlers but Chohan, Osinde and Baidwan picked up two each to bowl the Afghani's out.
Canada have a big job ahead on Wednesday to get back into the game.

Left-wing campaigners are planning to protest during a visit by one of the architects of New Labour at a fundraising night billed as 'curry with a spin'.
Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's controversial spin doctor, will attend the event on Thursday, organised by the Walthamstow Labour Party at The Asian Centre in Orford Road, as a guest speaker.
The event, starting at 7:30pm, invites Labour supporters to meet the 'orginial spin doctor'.
Waltham Forest Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) plan to picket the event in protest at Mr Campbell's involvement with the government's justification for the invasion of Iraq.
TUSC's Nancy Taffe said: "We find this invitation insulting.
"In Waltham Forest thousands of people protested on the day that the allied powers attacked Iraq.
"Walthamstow Labour always claimed to be anti-war. We can only assume that their need to get power overrides any principles that they may have on the war."
But Walthamstow's Labout MP Stella Creasy, who has said she would have voted against the war, welcomed Mr Campbell's visit.
She said: "Mr Campbell is kindly coming to help raise funds to support our community organising activities in Walthamstow on issues such as payday lending, women's equality, action on housing and access to healthcare in our community.
"As a volunteer-led organisation, we would not be able to do the work we do without such fundraising so these kinds of events, so fundraising at these kind of events, which we hold regularly, are vital to our movement."
"As well as speaking about his role in Government he will also be taking questions from attendees as I know he is happy to debate a wide range of issues."
Ms Creasy defended TUSC's right to protest, but said she hoped they would not stifle open debate.
"The TUSC are a political party who of course have their own objectives ahead of the elections, and have sought to disrupt a number of our events in previous years by staging similar such protests," she added.
"As a democrat I support their right to disagree and I hope they will not seek to disrupt the rights of others to take part in such discussions."

Holy smokes I'm busy! Wow. Like, I'm so busy that I think I'm busier than everyone else. Like, I'm the only one with a job – which has a busy-pull-yer-hair-out season of RIGHT NOW, and kids, and a birthday party to plan – complete with eight-year-old religious rite, and an anniversary – twelve years young, and a Spouse who's been called to work – for an absurdly undeterminable amount of time – to repair some international espionage-esque hacking, I AM THE BUSIEST PERSON ON THE PLANET. I might even be busier than Martha Stewart. Or at least busier that you.
Right here I'm totally making fun of how we women (yes, even me) have I'm-busier-than-anybody-else contests. It's that one thing, where we list (and list and list), all of the worth while crap we gotta do. Which, let's just face it, had we forgone the academy-award-wining display of said list, half of it would be complete. These contests aren't official, or even acknowledged verbally, but they're happening. And for the record, "worth while crap" is a very relative term, in that what's worth while crap to you ain't worth while crap to me. Mostly because what I consider worth while is crap, so there you go.
I am soooooo busy that it's a good thing I'm not training for the Olympics or something. Few... That was close! But you know who is training for the Olympics? Shalane Flanagan, and Desiree Davila, and Kara Goucher! Care for a recap of how that came to be? Sorry, not today for I'm just too busy. Kidding!
Rabid and Yahoos at the finish line, the day before race.
On January 14, 2012, at exactly 8:15am, the Women's Olympic Trial Marathon was kicked into gear by Frank Shorter. I think. Don't quote me on that. Maybe it was Joan Benoit Samuelson. If you know who did shoot that gun, let me know.
This Olympic Trial Marathon for women is my second live viewing. I saw the women's race in Boston's 2008 trials. This was so much fun. So fun was this race, that it was worth a repeat. Hence the Houston Trip.
As stated earlier, we had just watched the first lap of the Men's Olympic Trial marathon and were patiently waiting for the women. (We were strategically situation at miles 1.25ish, 9.25ish, 18.25ish, and 25.25ish.) When lo and 17 minutes and 45 seconds behold... the Women! Running slower than normal. We heard later that their first mile was in the 6:30 range.
Here's the lead pack. Davila in front. To me it looked like everyone in that pack had chosen Davila as the girl to beat, and therefore decided to stick behind her. Davila, on the other hand, looked as if she was waiting for someone to pick up the pace and declare the game "on."
Then there's Goucher. Sigh. That girl is so hot. She ran right by me.
More Goucher. I refrained from posting all of my Goucher photos so that Spouse wouldn't get worried or jealous.
Then the masses passed.
Then we waited. There's Spouse. Sigh. That boy is hot. I didn't post all of my Spouse photos so that Goucher wouldn't get worried or jealous.
At lap two, the field had split considerably. Up front were (left to right), Davila, Katie McGregor, Shalane, ???, Janet, Hastings, Deena, and Goucher.
Round three was exciting. Amy Hastings was in the lead! And looking awesome.
Followed by a Flanagan, Goucher, Davila scrambling.
Further back, Janet and Deena looked like they were sticking together.
The third to fourth lap was the most fun. The field had spread and there was lots to watch. Just when the last female ran by, Shalane Flanagan turned the corner and in the lead! She was hauling ass.
Davila was close behind Flanagan. But not close enough to catch, it seemed. We were pretty sure that Shalane Flanagan had won the race at this time.
Just behind Desiree Davila, was that babe Goucher.
... then that other babe Amy Hastings. She has my favorite running style of the bunch. Very tight, efficient and strong looking.
Janet was fifth. She finished the race with an eight-minute personal best. Wow.
Deena came in sixth with a 2:30:40. Deena had a baby ten months ago, by the way.

Watch 10 Killer Performances From "Nashville" That Have Us Pumped For Season 3
Last night was the Season 3 premiere of "Nashville," and, as usual, it had me at the edge of my bed, wine in hand and slack-jawed. The story lines just keep getting better and better, and, if possible, the stars' musical performances are doing the same. From Hayden Panettiere and Connie Britton to Lennon and Maisy Stella, the show's actors also have some killer chops. If these 10 killer musical performances haven't sold you on Season 3 yet, I don't know what will.

By Eric Lonergan
Despite running a large budget deficit in each of the past three years, the net debt of the UK government has barely risen.
The distinction between gross and net debt is central to any consideration of a government's solvency. Gross debt usually refers to the total stock of current non-contingent financial liabilities of government, principally bonds outstanding, and net debt subtracts liquid financial assets held by government departments, such as foreign exchange reserves or holdings of government bonds.
Net debt is the basis for any calculation of fiscal solvency, as long as the assets held by government are highly liquid. If departments within the government hold gilts, it makes sense to net them off the stock of debt, because the government is making interest and principal payments to itself. Read more

Hi, can i ask about the view page source, is it possible to hide the code of my jquery because when i view page source i can see all my jquery script like submitting the form, sending data to other page via jquery.ajax and etc...and the user might see all this and i think it will be prone to hacking...can you please enlighten my mind.
Thank you in advance.
That's why it's better to use php for form processing.
It's not possible to hide client-side code, no. You could make a copy of it and obfuscate it to make it harder to read though.
I use jquery so that when i am submitting the form it will not refresh the page.
what do you mean by this
You could make a copy of it and obfuscate
You could if you wanted encrypt the JavaScript like a lot of virus writers and other miscreants do. Or obfuscate the code (write the code that is difficult for humans to understand).
In both cases usually if you feel the need to do either - for major security reasons/concerns - the odds are you shouldn't be using client-side script in the first place for that specific task.
Like was mentioned all client-side script can be accessed by the browser or visitor so make sure any potential attack surface is minimal.
I think you have your answer jemz, but I wanted to point you at this discussion anyway: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6869312/how-do-i-hide-javascript-code-in-a-webpageIt makes interesting reading.
There is no need for anyone to hack JavaScript. If the script does something you don't want to do then you simply turn off JavaScript for that web page. If you want to do something slightly different you add your own JavaScript to the page to override any scripts already in the page.
That was a good read. What's this bit doing? That's the only one I couldn't tell. It was the post second to last.
//------------------------------function unloadJS(scriptName) { var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0); var js = document.getElementById(scriptName); js.parentNode.removeChild(js);}

[QUOTE=EricWatson;5337033 What's this bit doing?[/quote]
function unloadJS(scriptName) {
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
var js = document.getElementById(scriptName);
if you call unloadJS('myscriptid'); then the scripttag containing id="myscriptid" is removed from the current web page. Not sure why the var head line is there as that does nothing. Not sure why the scriptid field is called scriptname.
function unloadAllJS() {
var jsArray = new Array();
jsArray = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
for (i = 0; i < jsArray.length; i++){
if (jsArray[i].id){
The var jsArray line does nothing because the next line overwrites it with a nodelist of all the script tags in the page. Since it is a nodelist it is confusing to call it jsArray but then whoever wrote this doesn't appear all that good at giving variables meaningful names. The loop steps through every second script tag removing them using the first function if the script tag has an id or a one line equivalent if it doesn't. In this instance the function is misnamed as only the odd numbered entries in the original nodelist get deleted because as each script tag is deleted off the front all the others get moved up (one of the many traps for beginners).
Cleaned up it is hopefully easier to read what it is doing plus reorganising the loop to actually delete every script tag and not just the alternate ones:
function unloadJS(scriptid) {
var js = document.getElementById(id);
function unloadAllJS() {
jsnodes = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
for (i = jsnodes.length-1; i >=0; i++){
or if you really must remove the script tags from the top of the page down then use a while loop instead of a for loop:
function unloadAllJS() {
jsnodes = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
while (jsnodes.length) {
Lol thanks felgall. What's it doing in dumbed down talk I guess. How is it hiding the js? Thanks
Any attempt to do this isn't worth the time of day. I could just turn of JavaScript and see all your scripts. Not that hard either way.
It isn't hiding the JS - it is removing the JS from the page. Once the above script finishes running there will no longer be any JavaScript attached to the page to run.
Any JavaScript that runs before it gets to the end of the script containing that code will be the only JavaScript in the page that gets to run.
If there is any JavaScript actually embedded into the HTML that calls functions then that code will run up to the point where it calls the function that no longer exists.
Hi felgal, where should i put those function that you wrote?...by the way after it finishes to remove the script in the page,does my page will still functioning ?
The instructions on how to attach the scripts to your browser are in that web page - it varies depending on which browser you are using.

The new Span Columns feature of InDesign CS5 provides a really quick and simple way to create a headline that straddles multiple columns. But what if you use an older version of InDesign?
Most users just select the headline. cut it out of the text frame, and paste it into a separate text frame above the text columns. The trouble with this is that the headline is then completely separate from the rest of the text. This comes back to haunt you later if you need to export the entire article to XML, HTML, or text format, or if you want File > Select All to select the entire story. It's a much better practice to make the head a part of the text flow of the story. This is really easy to do, and is no more work than the cut and paste method. Here's how:

Spring blooms came under the scrutiny of the Yorkshire in Bloom judges yesterday, Wednesday, in their first visit to Ilkley this year.
Judges Timothy Stewart and Brendan Mowforth were shown around Ilkley town centre, and various green a floral features such as Darwin Gardens and St Margaret's Park by members of Ilkley in Bloom.
Mr Mowforth said: "We're very privileged to be shown around. The weather's beautiful today, and we started up on the edge of the moor."
Spring judging was cancelled last year after the late winter, leaving just the summer judging to give towns and villages across Yorkshire their final score in the contest.
This year, entrants were asked whether they wanted a spring judging, or were will to base their entry on one trip during the summer.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The No. 10 Saint Leo men's soccer team (9-1-1, 3-0-1 SSC) collected yet another victory Saturday night as they defeated the visiting Florida Southern Mocs (2-7, 2-3 SSC) by a 2-1 score. The win signaled the Lions 9th win of the season as well as another Sunshine State Conference win.
Despite a battle on the field, the Lions struck first to take a 1-0 lead in the 24th minute. A run by junior Lukas Cramer left him with a wide open shot that found the back of the net quickly and easily.
With the game in favor of Saint Leo, the Mocs rebounded, scoring a goal in the 40th minute to tie the game at 1-1. It was the Mocs' James Gibson who connected with the ball off of a corner kick assist from Jonathan Radvogin.
With the first 45 minutes of play under their belts, the Saint Leo and Florida Southern squads headed into halftime tied at one goal apiece.
The first and second halves featured a tough physical battle, as both teams fought for victory. A total of thirty fouls occurred throughout the contest.
The defining play of the match came in the 62nd second minute, when senior captain Edgar Herrera was fouled inside the Florida Southern box and awarded a penalty kick. Stepping in to take the penalty kick was junior Lukas Cramer, who blasted the ball past a diving Moccasin goalkeeper for the game-winning goal.
Cramer collected both goals on the evening, contributing to the Lions' 11 total shots and four shots on goal.
The Saint Leo goalkeeper, sophomore Manuel Shoenhuber, recorded two saves in the effort.
The Lions will return to action on Tuesday, October 22 when they take a local road trip to Tampa, Fla. to battle the University of Tampa Spartans. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

ZURICH (Reuters) - Swiss drugmaker Novartis' eye drug Lucentis has been approved as a treatment for a further condition related to worsening eyesight by the European Union, adding to three other conditions for which it is already approved.
The Basel-based drugmaker said the European Commission had granted approval for Lucentis to treat patients with visual impairment due to choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to pathologic myopia.
Lucentis, which was first launched in 2006, is an important product for Novartis and had sales of $2.4 billion in 2012.
The drug is already approved in the EU to treat wet age-related macular degeneration, visual impairment due to diabetic macular edema, and visual impairment due to macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion.

The Sound of Silence
By Elizabeth Ginns Britten — April 2005
Let's face it: Engines are noisy, and the noxious fumes they emit are unpleasant and dangerous for humans to breathe. The good news is that boatbuilders and engine manufacturers alike are always generating new and improved ways of making engines and boats quieter and safer all around.
That's probably why engineers at Centek Industries, a sponsor of the National Clean Boating Campaign, created a muffler designed to silence the noise of underwater exhausts and minimize their fumes by combining the main underwater exhaust outlet and bypass silencer into one unit.
The proprietary muffler is said to work with exhaust systems on engines up to 2,000 hp and comes in a number of shapes and sizes to fit practically any space.
Call for pricing and a distributor near you.

Barbecue makes a frequent appearance at our house, whether my fiancé smoked thirty pounds of pig using his secret family recipe, or I slow-cooked a batch of my signature oven-braised pulled pork. Either way, you can guarantee there are going to be plenty of leftovers for snacking. And while I am usually happy with just a plain ol' sandwich (cheap white bun and vinegar sauce, please), every now and then I have so much extra that I have to start experimenting.
I've made pulled pork quesadillas and pulled pork hash. In fact, the only thing I haven't made is pulled pork french fries. (Note to self: is that even possible? Must try soon.) It seems I am always looking for the next big thing. My fiancé and I eat Cobb salads on a regular basis, so it was only natural for me to add pork instead of the usual chicken or turkey, and let's just say it was a bona fide hit.
To add a bit more Southern flavor — or Southwest, depending on who you ask — I added corn and black beans, two of my favorite summer ingredients. This Cobb salad really gets its flare, though, from the crunchy cornbread croutons, another great way to use up your leftovers. Not only do they look great, but they taste great too. I like to mash 'em up in my salad to make sure bits and pieces end up in every single bite. (Don't forget to leave out any extras out for snacking!)
This salad got two enthusiastic thumbs up from my fiancé, which means it is destined to be a forever favorite. Serve it tossed with a heavenly combo of creamy ranch dressing and tangy barbecue sauce, and you get a little bit of summer in every single bite.
Pulled Pork Cobb Salad with Cornbread Croutons
Active time: 20 minutes
Total time: 1 hour (or overnight)
Yields: 4 servings
cornbread croutons
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
1 cup whole buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil
for the salad
2 (8 ounce) bags romaine salad mix
1/2 pound leftover pulled pork
6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
1 large ripe tomato, diced
1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup yellow corn, fresh or frozen
Cornbread croutons (recipe above)
Ranch dressing, to serve
Favorite barbecue sauce, to serve
Shredded Monterey jack-cheddar blend, to serve
for the cornbread croutons:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease an 8 x 11 rectangular baking dish. (If making croutons, the cornbread is best prepared a day in advance.)
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, thoroughly whisk the melted butter, buttermilk, and eggs. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake until cornbread is golden yellow, about 17 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Cut the cornbread into 1-inch cubes and allow to dry out overnight (or dry out in a 375 degree oven for 5-10 minutes if not making the recipe in advance).
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Drizzle the olive oil over the cornbread and gently toss to combine, you just want enough to lightly coat. Spread the cubes onto a baking sheet and cook, tossing occasionally, until croutons are crisp and light golden brown, about 15 minutes.
For the salad:
Pile romaine mix into an oval serving dish or bowl. Arrange pulled pork, bacon, eggs, beans, corn, tomatoes, and croutons in thin rows over the lettuce. Serve with sides of ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, and shredded cheese. For easier serving (but less visual appeal), you can toss the salad with cheese and an equal amount of ranch and barbecue sauce.

The transition from central Florida to southern Georgia is bringing lighter-than-normal volume on some vegetables.
As Florida grower-shippers wind down production, Georgia growers are starting two to three weeks later than normal.
Though Dug Schwalls, sales director for Southern Valley Fruit & Vegetable Inc., Norman Park, Ga., said Georgia's early season crops look strong, he said the two deals aren't producing large volumes of bell peppers and cucumbers.
Schwalls said west Mexico is bringing abundant supplies.
He said he doesn't expect Georgia to bring larger supplies until early to mid-June.
"The transition has hit but central Florida isn't as big as it use to be," Schwalls said May 20.
"There is more of a gap than a transition. We should be starting with pepper by now but because we haven't, there isn't enough in Florida. There's just a little in north Florida now."
In late May, C&D Fruit & Vegetable Co. Inc., Bradenton, Fla., finished harvests of squash and green beans.
It plans to end its peppers and cucumbers in early June before transitioning to Georgia.
C&D expects to begin harvesting watermelons May 28, later than the typical early May start, said Steve O'Brien, vice president.
"Everything's late," he said in late May.
"We're just starting our new cucumbers, which are very late. Quality here has been good but with this heat, we hope Georgia will crank up quickly. The transition will be fine. Trucks will be tight as they usually are. Plus, labor's been real tough."
Utopia Packing LLC, a division of Utopia Farms, Myakka City, Fla., plans to finish pepper harvesting in early June.
"The volume is steadily decreasing here in central Florida," Jim Monteith, sales manager, said May 20.
"We have really started to see it in the last couple of days. Size-wise, jumbos are really almost nonexistent. Extra larges are being the peak in size as we move further into the season."
A colder than normal March harmed spring yields and Monteith said it isn't surprising that late season markets are higher than usual.
In late May, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported these prices for bell peppers for all Florida districts: 1 1/9-bushel cartons of jumbos selling at $20.35; extra larges, $18.35-20.35; large, $16.35-18.35; and medium, $14.35-14.35.
According to the USDA, 1 1/9-bushel cartons of waxed medium cucumbers from south Georgia in late May sold for $18.35-18.85 with cartons of 24s selling for $7.35-8.85.
From central and south Florida in late May, bushel cartons sold for $16.35-16.85, up from $14.35-14.95 the week before with cartons of 24s at $7.35-8.85, up from $5-5.50 in mid-May.
Late May Georgia squash prices: half-bushel cartons of zucchini small sold for $10.35-10.85, and medium, $8.35-8.85; 1/2-bushel cartons of yellow straightneck small sold for $10.35-10.85 with medium at $8.35-8.85; 3/4-bushel cartons of yellow crookneck small sold for $12.35-14.85 with medium $8.35-10.85.

Let us begin with the caveat that many average Democrats are very pro-free speech and would give their lives as readily as any conservative I know to defend that right for all other Americans.
That being said, the average Democrat party leader, official, and elected representative do not support freedom of speech, though they will go to their grave claiming they do.
The leadership of the Democrat party is enthralled with the philosophy and ideology of Karl Marx. They adhere to the marxist ideal that government should be used as a catalyst to bring about the proletariat's (poor, have nots) overthrow of the bourgeois (rich, haves). They believe that the evolutionary destiny of mankind is to reach a worker's paradise, heaven on earth.
The idea that man can achieve perfection on earth is blatantly anti-Christian. Man is sinful and will not achieve heaven on his own. Further, looking to politics or government or even the poor of the earth for some sort of human redemption is faulty, is folly, and is sin to those who call on the name of Christ. Political messianism is never a safe, happy, or productive path. It will never reach it's goal.
Further, because the goal of marxism is a man-made heaven, and the path is socio-political evolution, there is no moral compass to guide or constrain the actions of those who have tasked themselves with bringing about this momentous and wrong-headed change.
There is no rule that cannot be broken, nor should not if the need is there. There is no truth that cannot be lied about, there is no fact that cannot be contravened.
And there is no freedom or liberty of bedrock foundation of our system of government and society that cannot be broken down for the sake of the inexorable march of human evolution towards the marxist nirvana.
So there is a vision of human heaven, a path of agreed-upon human evolution, a messianic government. And people who don't agree.
The result is this: Democrat leaders in Congress using the power of the IRS and the Department of Justice to investigate people and organizations who oppose them.
If at first you don't succeed, get some friends in high places to shut your opponents up. That's the latest Washington power play, as Democrats and liberals attack the Chamber of Commerce and independent spending groups in an attempt to stop businesses from participating in politics.
Since the Supreme Court's January decision in Citizens United v. FEC, Democrats in Congress have been trying to pass legislation to repeal the First Amendment for business, though not for unions. Having failed on that score, they're now turning to legal and political threats. Funny how all of this outrage never surfaced when the likes of Peter Lewis of Progressive insurance and George Soros helped to make Democrats financially dominant in 2006 and 2008.
Chairman Max Baucus of the powerful Senate Finance Committee got the threats going last month when he asked Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Douglas Shulman to investigate if certain tax exempt 501(c) groups had violated the law by engaging in too much political campaign activity. Lest there be any confusion about his targets, the Montana Democrat flagged articles focused on GOP-leaning groups, including Americans for Job Security and American Crossroads. (Wall Street Journal: Shutting Up Politics)
Freedom of speech for me but not for thee.
When President Obama complained recently that foreign money was playing too big a role in American politics, he neglected to note his own election largesse was significantly funded by unaccounted for donations with evidence that significant portions were from foreign sources.
Dirty politics for me but not for thee.
When an "end justifies the means" attitude meets political messianism, the only thing that result is hurt and wrong. This is not the path to redemption as marxists seek. The only thing found at the end of this path is more human suffering.
UPDATE: NYTimes and AP say foreign money canard is just that, a canard.
"These ads are not a threat to democracy," (former national Republican party Chairman Ed) Gillespie said of the chamber's efforts. "They may be a threat to their power, but their power and democracy are not the same thing, and it's very revealing that they see it that way." (AP: Dems: Business group using foreign cash to aid GOP)

Where Can I Buy Discounted Golf Shoes
|Comfortable golf shoes are seldom noticed on the golf course. There isn't anything about them that creates concern for the wearer, so they do nothing but plod along without threatening the concentration needed to play the game. Not so with shoes that aren't comfortable. Not only can they be physically uncomfortable, bad-fitting shoes can interfere with the steady focus required to play golf at any level.
So, it's time to re-shod and put your feet and your golf game in a better mood. Dial up the Internet and get ready to be amazed at how many different well-known golf shoes – really major brands – can be offered at discount prices. Good prices can be had for both men's and women's golf shoes. Some prices described by the online outlets are at or below half of what the suggested retail price might be. Those prices can be made even better if they happen to be for close-outs that the manufacturer no longer makes. There can also be price cuts for factory overruns and retail store returns. Shoes with minor blemishes – blems for those in the trade – and still in the box qualify for more savings. Normally, overruns and blems are brand new and are covered by the maker's warranty.
Many manufacturers make discount offers to golf professionals. They may also be in tight with golf club management, which puts them in position to peddle great discount deals on golf attire and accessories, including shoes. Being a member of one of those clubs automatically makes you eligible for the discounted shoe prices. Before buying any shoe, find out if it's waterproof. That's important to consider since virtually every golf course in the world is wet sometime during the day; usually in the morning when the course has yet to absorb all the water used to irrigate it during the night.
If your comparison shopping has narrowed the field down to online vendors, make sure you specifically request a brand, the color...

A green-themed comedy night is being held to raise funds in memory of a 14-year-old boy.
Aaron Hearne, 25, from Carshalton, is holding a charity night in memory of his brother, Liam, who hanged himself in 2010 after claims he was bullied on Facebook.
The evening is all part of the NSPCC's Go Green campaign raising funds to protect children from abuse.
The charity is encouraging people host green-themed events to raise enough money to take the new ChildLine Schools Service into schools across the country.
Hearne has taken part in a number of fundraising events in his brother's memory including the London Marathon, busking and a spinathon.
The event will be the first the Liam Charity, set up by Aaron in memory of his brother, has held this year.
Liam Hearne
It will be hosted by local funnyman Gary Hollick and will features a range of comics including Hank Osasuna, who starred in Keith Lemon shows and the film, northern one-liner Chris Ashton and Julian Deane.
Aaron says: "I lost my brother in 2010 through suicide and in 2012 I set up a tribute fund with the aim of raising £100,000 for ChildLine but also making it a priority to raise awareness. Anything the NSPCC is running I like to get involved with and incorporate that within my fundraising.
"It's a charity very close to my heart and I have great admiration for everything it does not only to support young people in their time of need but in rebuilding their lives. Obviously this comes at a cost."
He is encouraging people to dress up in their green gear with an award going to the greenest guest.
The Liam Charity's comedy night; Carshalton Athletic FC, War Memorial Sports Ground, Colston Ave, Carshalton; 7.30pm; £8 on door theliamcharity.org.uk

Haha I see what you mean by a very "Jager-ish" pick, Jager.
As for me, I'll go for the greatest captain of all-time in Douglas Jardine, to complete my XI. Would love to see him with this bowling attack at his disposal.
Undecided on batting order as things stand. Will probably open with Jardine and push Jackson to 3. Or maybe Kallis could move to 3, with Pietersen to 4 and Jardine to 5.

All you need is 3-4 simple contingencies, jot them down somewhere, and then e-mail/SMS one of them to someone when it's your turn. You can liason with anyone on CricketWeb. It doesn't even have to be Jager. They keep an eye on Draft thread for you and then nominate a player on your behalf.
I have concluded that you are either disorganised or lack the ability to forward-plan Cevno, with the underlying assumption being that you are in the draft because you want to be.

Amazing that Oldfield hasn't been selected in a previous draft. Imo he is Australia's best pure gloveman ever, and he was no dud with the bat, with an average over 20.
Good pick!
I actually think you have the strongest team Michael, with Sobers and Botham as ARs to balance things nicely...

C. S. Lewis once said, "Faith is the art of holding on to things in spite of your changing moods and circumstances. " We as believers are called to live by faith and not by sight. We are to trust God and His plan wholeheartedly, regardless of our circumstances. However, we are also called to live out our faith. It should be evident to everyone around us that we are a follower of Jesus Christ. "What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don't show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? So you see, faith by itself isn't enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. Now someone may argue, 'Some people have faith; others have good deeds. ' But I say, 'How can you show me your faith if you don't have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds. '" (James 2:14, 17-18). Let this be a challenge to you to live by faith and to live out your faith.

Marc Staal will be a gametime decision, based on how he feels in warmups. You probably know his decision by now, via twitter, tweeter, tooter, or the MSG pregame show.
Fedotenko is back in.
So here are the probable lines according to our sources (the guys who are actually doing their jobs at MSG, unlike me):
Eminger will be prucha'd if Staal plays. Sauer and McDonagh would be reunited, and McCabe would pair with Gilroy.
No Ocho Cinco tonight … at least for starters.
Marian Gaborik will travel with the team to Ottawa tonight, but will not play tomorrow. And I'm sure you've seen by now that Michael Del Zotto broke a finger last night with Connecticut, and is out 4-6 weeks.
Hope to catch Rangers in 60 following my hoops marathon, second of five in a row for me.
ps, the March 20 game in Pitt has been flexed to an NBC 12:30 start.

Pressure CookerScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Most people know that it takes longer to boil an egg at higher altitudes. If instead of boiling an egg in the traditional manner, however, you used a pressure cooker at the higher and lower altitudes, would it:
a) still take longer to cook the egg at higher altitudes,
b) take the same amount of time no matter what the altitude is,
c) take longer to cook the egg at lower altitudes, or
d) the question can't be answered without knowing what the pressure setting on the cooker is.
Ignore the fact that the egg might be crushed by the pressure inside the cooker.
If you're not sure why it takes longer for an egg to boil at higher altitudes, see the hint.
HintThe lower the pressure over a liquid is, the lower the boiling temperature of the liquid is. In other words, at sea level water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. At high elevations, where there is less air pressure, water might boil at 90 degrees Celsius. Since at higher altitudes you're cooking an egg at a lower temperature, the egg will take longer to cook.
AnswerThe answer is a) it would still take longer to cook the egg at higher altitudes. This is because a pressure cooker doesn't control the absolute pressure inside the pot. It controls the pressure DIFFERENCE between the inside of the pot and the outside.
In other words, if the atmospheric pressure is 15 psi and a pressure cooker is set to run at 15 psi, then the absolute pressure inside the pot will be 15 + 15 = 30 psi. At higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is say, 13 psi, the pressure cooker will run at 13 + 15 = 28 psi. Since the pressure inside the cooker is lower (28 is less than 30), the water will boil at a lower temperature and therefore it will take longer to cook the egg.

Dog Therapy that is.
That's why Brianne Harris is bringing Knox to the Belk Library and Information Commons, so students can relieve a little stress.Knox is a Canine Good Citizen, and registered with Therapy Dogs, Incorporated. In other words, Knox knows how to be a good listener, and is great for hugging.
"The idea of pets as stress relievers has taken off across campuses nationwide, especially during the end of semester exam time," said User Services Librarian Geri Purpur, who worked to get Knox some people time. "Dogs can provide comfort in a way people cannot, and can be a positive reminder of home during the chaos of these final weeks."
Knox's handler Brianne Harris, Appalachian 2012 Psychology alumna says the Great Pyrenees has already begun visits to Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living, as well as Life Care Center of Banner Elk.
Belk Librarians and staff have taken up a collection to buy Knox an Appalachian State University t-shirt, so look for the really hairy, big guy in an App T-shirt surrounded by students in need of some soothing.
The Dog is in:
Monday, May 5 at 2:30
Wednesday May 7 at 6:30.
Squeezes, rubs, hugs, and scratches are free!

The Information Literacy Skills Prize Awards were presented at the Celebration of Student Writing on April 17, 2014. Belk Library and Information Commons sponsored the contest, with help from the University Writing Center, the Composition Program, and Writing Across the Curriculum Program.
The prize recognizes an outstanding research paper written by a first-year Appalachian State University student for a class in UCO 1200 (First Year Seminar) or English 1000. Information literacy is the ability to find, evaluate, and use information effectively and it is an educational goal for every Appalachian State University graduate.
This award promotes students' active engagement in the processes of library research and encourages them to synthesize library research skills with the reading, writing and critical thinking skills developed in their first year at Appalachian.
The first place award, was a $300 gift certificate to the bookstore and it went to freshman Tanner Gill for his paper entitled Hunting the Hunters. The second place award, a $200.00 gift certificate to the bookstore, went to freshman Kayla Greeson for her paper entitled The Controversy Over Higher Education.
Congratulations to Tanner and Kayla!

Ohio's energy efficiency mandates save consumers money; now is no time to stop them
By SHANNON BAKER-BRANSTETTER
Shannon Baker-Branstetter serves as policy counsel for Consumers Union's Washington, D.C. Office where she handles clean energy and climate change policy, toxics regulatory reform, and safe drinking water issues.
Consumers Union works every day with and for consumers, and we have citizens here in the Cleveland area doing the same thing. Affordable energy is essential to the people and businesses of Northeast Ohio, and there is no cheaper way to meet energy needs than through energy-efficiency investments. Whether it's efficient lighting, better building heating and cooling systems or, in the industrial sector, improved motors and manufacturing processes, the savings from these investments are real.
Ohio's energy-efficiency laws, which passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, require utilities to invest in low-cost energy efficiency just as they invest in power plants and power lines. Unfortunately, one utility, FirstEnergy, is trying to roll back these laws that are saving ratepayers money, even while others are demonstrating that the savings for consumers greatly outweigh the costs of energy-efficiency programs.
For example, central Ohio utility AEP recently announced that its energy-efficiency programs are saving almost $1.5 billion, while the investment for these programs cost customers $436 million. That amounts to more than $1 billion in savings for AEP customers.
Energy-efficiency investments save customers money in two ways. First, the programs help customers directly save money and lower bills through participation. For instance, many cities and counties across Northeast Ohio are saving energy and taxpayer funds through energy-efficiency improvements. Installing advanced lighting and improving buildings reduce the amount of taxpayer and ratepayer dollars spent on energy bills.
Second, even if customers don't directly participate in a program, they still benefit. How, you might ask? Energy efficiency lowers overall demand for electricity, which helps lower prices. By deferring the need for new capacity, all ratepayers avoid the costs of expensive new power plants.
Energy efficiency saves consumers money, and Ohio's law has been and continues to be a huge success. Altering Ohio's energy-efficiency laws is the wrong move for Ohioans. Without these efficiency programs, electricity prices will increase and consumers will pay more for energy. We need state elected officials to stand by Ohioans and preserve Ohio's energy-efficiency laws.

Quit Victoria has joined the debate on the sale of duty-free cigarettes in Australia, calling for the removal of tax concessions on cigarette imports and exports by travellers entering or leaving Australia.
Under present laws, if cigarettes are purchased in Australia, their purchase price normally includes GST and customs or excise duty.
However, travellers entering or leaving Australia can purchase cigarettes free of duty and tax, subject to various conditions.
Executive Director of Quit, Mr Todd Harper said it was time for the Government to take a consistent approach to cigarette pricing and taxation.
"The Commonwealth Government must act to remove the tax exemptions that presently apply to cigarette purchases by travellers entering or leaving Australia"
"Raising the price of cigarettes through taxation is one of the most important steps that governments can take to reduce smoking among adults and young people."
Mr Harper said the current duty-free arrangements, which enable people to purchase cigarettes more cheaply was at odds with Australia's leadership in tobacco control.
"The last few years have seen significant progress in efforts to encourage people to quit smoking, so it would certainly be in line with other strong tobacco control policies to see an end to the duty-free sale of cigarettes."
Mr Harper said the lower costs of duty-free cigarettes encourage some people to stockpile cigarettes.
"There is always a danger that if someone has in their possession a large amount of duty-free cigarettes they may be tempted to smoke more, which is of course a concern for us."
The prohibition of duty-free tobacco sales to travellers is mentioned in the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, to which Australia is a party.

AS the ceasefire between Gaza and Israel was set to enter its fourth day, Palestine-born Karimeh Foster said she hopes a peaceful resolution can be reached.
If not, the Darwen councillor has fears for the future of not just the region, but the whole world.
The Whitehall councillor, who moved to England in 1978 to marry her university sweetheart David, has been unable to return to her birthplace, Bethlehem, since just before the Six-Day War in 1967.
Then, Israel occupied the West Bank and a young Coun Foster and her family relocated to Jordan.
Speaking from her home in Derby Close, she said she longed for peace in Gaza, where more than 1,000 people have been killed in the latest conflict.
She said: "I want peace in Gaza. Everybody does. But it has to be on both sides, not just on Israel's terms.
"I want the bombings to stop and for the siege to be removed and for the people of Gaza to be allowed to go about with dignity like any other human being."
Coun Foster, a Lib Dem, said she was disappointed by the response to the troubles, not just at home, but worldwide.
She said: "I am really disappointed by the Government. Politicians are very cagey about what they say.
"Until the Israelis feel like they have something to lose they will not stop. It is a huge problem for the whole world, not just the Middle East.
"I feel people who have real power could stop this but they are just blind to it and they do not want to know."
The recent military bombardment of Gaza has seen a network of tunnels, which Israel said had been constructed by Hamas militants to infiltrate Israeli territory, destroyed. The action has also seen some 425,000 people displaced.
Coun Foster said: "Hamas are seen as terrorists but they have been under blockade for eight years.
"They are vilified for digging tunnels but it is okay for the Israelis to have tanks and guns to kill people.
"To stop this you need to have all the Palestinians and Israelis together to talk and find a solution to the problem."

Nathan Dyer may not have fractured his ankle as first feared
Swansea winger Nathan Dyer may not have fractured his ankle against Norwich as first feared.
Last Updated: 16/12/13 7:06pm
Dyer was rushed to hospital after he was carried off shortly before half-time at Carrow Road, but subsequent tests appear to reveal no break.
Swansea's Twitter feed revealed on Sunday evening: "Initial X-ray shows no obvious break to Dyer's ankle. However, he will have further scans (Monday) before final diagnosis."
The 26-year-old, who lobbed John Ruddy to score the opening goal, sustained the injury during a hefty challenge from Sebastien Bassong.
Bassong clattered into the back of Dyer when challenging for a header and the Swansea player's right ankle gave way on landing.
Dyer was administered oxygen and his leg put in a brace by medics on the pitch before he was stretchered off and taken to hospital.
Swansea boss Michael Laudrup told Sky Sports after the final whistle: "When something happens like that, we know it's serious.
"We hope it's not that serious. He's gone to hospital.
"There were very, very bad memories when it happened just a year ago to Neil Taylor, who was on the bench today.
"Let's cross our fingers and hope it's not that bad.
"We have to wait first and have an X-ray, then an MRI scan, then we'll know for sure."
Dyer's injury promises to add to Swansea's woes, with Alejandro Vazquez, Leon Britton, Garry Monk and Chico Flores currently sidelined.
Laudrup was happy that striker Michu was able to complete most of the game, however, and hoped that his injured stars would soon return.
He added: "Leon Britton is coming back, while Chico is not too bad. Some go, some come, but of course, the injury of Nathan today is different. It seems a little more serious, so fingers crossed.
"It's definitely not good, but no-one knows how bad it is. He left immediately for the X-ray, but we'll have to wait a couple of days.
"I'd rather wait to make any comments because I'm not a doctor, so let's hope. It will be bad, but there's a difference of five weeks or five months, maybe."
Both sets of supporters applauded the former Southampton trainee as he was carried away.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - As of March 1, there were 2,395 people in Michigan waiting for a lifesaving kidney transplant.
One of them is an 11 year-old boy named Jai'Wan Davis-Harbour, of Taylor.
Jai'Wan spends three and a half hours at a time, four days a week, undergoing dialysis at the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor. He would rather be at school or, better yet, playing baseball.
Jai'Wan's mother Cherisse Davis-Harbour said the treatment takes a toll on the fifth grader.
"They get tired of being in that chair. It's a long time to sit in that chair," said Cherisse. "He misses a lot of school. He likes to have friends. He wants to play baseball, and he can't join the baseball team."
"Sometimes it seems very hard to be able to do some of the things that I can't do," said Jai'Wan.
It's been a lifelong battle for Jai'Wan, whose kidneys never developed properly in the womb.
"From the minute he was born, he did not have healthy kidneys. It wasn't long after he had to start dialysis," said Dr. Kera Luckritz, a pediatric nephrologist at C.S. Mott.
Jai'Wan had a kidney transplant when he was four years old, but four and a half years later, his body rejected the transplant.
"It was a big disappointment when we lost the kidney. It kind of felt like failure," said Cherisse.
Now Jai'Wan is waiting for his second "second chance."
"Then I would be able to do anything," said Jai'Wan.
Experts said the prior transplant makes finding a match this time even more difficult.
"He's sensitized to other donors, which makes it harder to find a transplant that he won't reject very quickly," said Luckritz. "We always want to get transplants for these kids if we can because it significantly improves their quality of life and their outcomes."
Cherisse said she prays a new kidney will come soon.
"I know he's tired. And we want to have our normal life," said Cherisse. "It's dialysis. You can't just live on there forever."
She said Jai'wan worries too.
"He said, 'You know Mom, I'm not afraid to die, but I'm afraid to leave you. I don't want to leave you.'"
Cherisse hoped sharing Jai'Wan's story will encourage more people to become organ donors, and said Jai'Wan already has a special nickname picked out for when he gets a new kidney.
"He's going to name it 'Pinocchio,' he said, because he's still waiting to be a real boy. He's not a real boy yet because he can't do everything that the other real boys do," said Cherisse. "He's waiting to live. That's the best way to sum it up. Pinocchio, come on."
