10 October 2010
The Islanders looked very different from last season, last night. They looked like a much bigger and physical team, especially from James Wisniewski's big hit right infront of the Isles bench.
It started off from a first period goal let in by DiPietro on James Benn. Then, I'd say about two or three minutes later, Robidas beat DP from the point, I believe. DP later called the goal "horrendus", atleast that's what he told reporters.
Then the Isles take on the powerplay. The "Wiz", as they call him, slapped one from the left point right into the net. He celebrated like what you'd expect to see on NHL 11. Great to see him get his first goal on the powerplay as an Islander.
Next, Morrow shot one past DP on a one timer. I could see that one coming, as Ribero deked around Wisniewski. But the Isles would get it back. On the poweplay again, Weight took a shot and I believe it went off a star and in the net.
Morrow then tailed another goal, making the score 4-2 Dallas in the third period. But the Isles still didn't give up. The Stars goaltender looses his stick and Bailey kicks it to the side while Comeau takes the shot and scores. I predicted he would score, and he did. Woop!
I began to pray the Isles would tie it up. And they did. Guessing who? It was Matt Moulson! He backhanded one past Letty and then couldn't really celebrate that one as a Star fell on him. But he still raises his stick!
The game went to OT as the Isles killed off a penalty. Still tied in OT, they moved on to a shootout. Nielsen preformed his casual move, with a save. DP denied the next two stars. Shooting second for the Isles was PA Parenteau hitting the post. He was 3-3 in shootouts last season with the Rangers. Moulson was denied and it all came down to DiPietro. Ribero deked out DP and won the game.
A few notes from the game:
Josh Bailey and PA Parenteau:Both looked very strong with the puck, Bailey was making better decisions as well. Wen't on a mini breakaway from the right side up the ice but missed the net. I didn't expect Parenteau to play that well, making some moves and even delivering a few hits.
Doug Weight and Rick DiPietro: Weight played great, tallying a goal and assist last night. He looked like a youngster. DP was rusty, but you have to expect that from a goaltender that hasn't played in a quite amount of time. He even made some good saves.
The Isles are taking on the Rangers tomorrow at 1pm. It's a matinee game, so maybe we'll see them in those new white away jerseys. It's unclear who gets the start, I would expect to see DP as long as he's healthy, but things change.

Communications Minister
On Thursday Mr Turnbull revealed an $11.5 billion blowout in the cost of the Coalition's re-designed NBN plan, announcing that just 43 per cent of households would receive promised access to 25-megabits-per-second broadband by 2016.
The strategic review of the massive infrastructure project ordered by the Coalition found that the mix of fibre-optic cable, copper and hybrid fibre-coaxial (HFC) cable to be used on the project would cost $41 billion, up from $29.5 billion.
Mr Turnbull insisted on Friday that despite the changes to the NBN plan, the Coalition was "matching the key promise of opening up the books of the NBN and telling the truth about it for the first time".
"The Labor party had enveloped the NBN in a web of spin and obfuscation. Every forecast ever produced was missed, there was no reliable information coming out of the company because it was basically being done to suit the government," he told ABC radio.
"We did an analysis from opposition and put some caveats on that. But the key promise we made was to reboot the NBN and start off with an honest appraisal of where it is today, where it would have got us under their plan and what our realistic alternatives are. None of that strategic review is happy reading."
Mr Turnbull seized on the fact that the review found Labor's original plan for fibre to the home would have cost about $29 billion more than expected.
"We have inherited a bigger and more expensive mess than we thought. Labor misled people about the NBN . . . they knew what they were saying was wrong."
Mr Turnbull said while all forecasts had risks attached to them, the review had made more conservative estimates about potential cost blowouts and he expressed confidence in the findings of the consultancies who had conducted it.

Have Finance Questions? Ask a Financial Expert Online.
Well, average interest rates in savings and money markets are not great out there right now. It could be from $.50 - $1.50% per year. Depends on the bank and there could be fees, etc. You would just have to research a bit. You would be better off looking at a CD or investment account. If you had a 1.5% annual percentage rate on $10 million that would equate to $150,000 per year in interest. That is about $12,500 per month.
Look at this website under Checking & Savings and CD's and Investments. This will provide you detail on banks around the country and what rates they're paying. You can research everything in one place.
How much will 10 million dollars in the bank generate in a monthly income I can use to live on?
$10million is a large amount of money and your ability to use this for interest to live on is going to depend on the particular bank you're working with. This would be a large enough amount where traditional banking doesn't apply. You would have a private banking money manager handling your account. Interest rates would differ depending on what type of account you would have the funds in. The private banker would be able to direct you and come up with a strategy.
Look at the interest rate of a savings account and that would be the amount generated for a year based on the present balance in the account. Divide that out by 12mos and you'll have your monthly income.
Of course, taxes would also be due on that income as well.
Ok, but what interest rate would I be looking for in today's rates? What would be the average rate I should accept? and just off the cuff, what kind of monthly income do you think 10 million would send me?

Steelers scout Nunn honored with Chuck Cooper Award
Bill Nunn Jr. had an eye for talent, and the Steelers capitalized on it.
Nunn, the legendary Steelers scout and former editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, was honored Friday with the inaugural Chuck Cooper Award, given to an individual who has contributed to the city's black community. The presentation took place during a luncheon and dedication ceremony of the Chuck Cooper Building at Duquesne University.
"He's credited for breaking through barriers and unearthing a lot of great players," said Kevin Colbert, the Steelers director of football operations. "Bill was part of a scouting staff that put together the best draft in NFL history with the likes of Mike Webster out of Wisconsin, Lynn Swann out of USC, Jack Lambert out of Kent State and, of course, John Stallworth out of Alabama A&M."
Then there was Southern University defensive back Mel Blount, a Steelers third-round selection (53rd overall) in 1970. Coach Chuck Noll was considering him as a safety. Nunn figured Blount's best position was corner.
"Chuck and Bill went back and forth," Blount said, "and finally Bill Nunn convinced Chuck that I could play the corner. Bill had a good eye for talent. To this day I consider Bill Nunn a dear friend and truly an asset not only to the Steelers organization but to the city of Pittsburgh."
Colbert; Blount; Nunn's son, Bill Nunn III, and Cooper's son, Chuck Cooper III, were among those honoring Nunn Jr., who spoke via video screen to the gathering at the Duquesne Union, Africa Room. Nunn Jr. and the elder Cooper, a former Duquesne star and the first black player to be drafted by an NBA club, played basketball together at Westinghouse High School and West Virginia State before Cooper entered the Navy. Cooper later enrolled at Duquesne.
Cooper's son heads the Chuck Cooper Foundation, which provides scholarship funds for underserved populations.
"This is something that will go on forever as far as Charlie is concerned," the elder Nunn said. "He brought a lot to the school and took a lot away from the school. Charlie over the years brought a lot to the city of Pittsburgh."
Nunn III said he realized how close his father had been to Cooper after Cooper, a Homewood native who attended Duquesne from 1947-50, died of liver cancer in 1984. Nunn III said his mother told him that was the first time she saw his father cry.
"The award is so special," Nunn III said, "especially being the first one."
The event kicked off a weekend of festivities that was to include a reception and concert last night at the August Wilson Center as well as Sunday's scheduled Chuck Cooper Classic men's basketball game between Atlantic 10 co-leaders Duquesne and Xavier at 2 p.m. at Consol Energy Center.
Cooper will be honored during halftime of Sunday's game with a feature tribute to his accomplishments in professional basketball and community development.

WOOSTER -- Ohio's 7 percent unemployment rate for September was lower than August's 7.2 percent, but the number of nonfarm and salaried workers fell, too.
The Ohio Department of Job & Family Services reported Friday, noting the state had 5.19 million (a revised figure) in August, but lost 12,800 jobs in September.
While the number of workers declined, so, too, did the number of unemployed, which went from 413,000 in August to 406,000 in September.
County numbers for September will be available later this month, and in recent months the commissioners have been more focused on how many people are in the work force, how many are working and how many are unemployed rather than the unemployment rate.
When the county commissioners met earlier this month with Wayne County Job & Family Services Director Rich Owens, they were updated about the August unemployment numbers, which are the latest.
One of factors that contributed to lower unemployment rates was people using up all of their unemployment benefits, Owens said. The unemployment numbers are estimates based on telephone surveys where people are asked whether they are working, looking for work or have quit searching for a job.
When unemployment benefits run out and people are no longer looking for work, they cease to be included in the official unemployment rate. They are still counted by the U.S. Department of Labor's statistics, but they show up on another area of the report as "discouraged" or "marginally attached" workers. Then there are those who are classified as "underemployed," meaning they have part-time jobs, but cannot find full-time employment due to the economic conditions.
As people quit seeking work, they leave the work force, which "lowers the denominator" and can lead to lower unemployment numbers, Owens said.
In August, Wayne County's unemployment rate was 5.9 percent, which was lower than July's 6.3 percent. However, there were fewer people in the work force (56,500 in July compared to 55,700 in September), fewer people employed (52,900 vs. 52,400) and fewer considered unemployed (3,600 vs. 3,300). This has been the case for the past decade, with August's numbers coming in lower than July's.
Commissioner Jim Carmichael said he does not understand why the official unemployment rate (line U3 on the survey) does not include discouraged, marginally attached and underemployed workers (line U6 on the survey).
Especially for those who are no longer job hunting, "They are still unemployed but they don't make these numbers (the official unemployment rates)," Carmichael said. "That's the fallacy of this. We are not getting a true count of the unemployed."
Owens said at the U6, information is not available at the county level, so it would be difficult to quantify the true unemployment rate.
"I wish we could get a more realistic number," Carmichael said.

Time to dust off the ol' blog and fire out a new post. Apologies for not updating this more often. I read all of your emails though and appreciate it. As you know I'm doing a done more on twitter and Facebook these days but the Randy's Rants will come more often now that we've hit football season
Let's begin with the little Longhorns and the mess they are causing. Nice to have your own network folks but the boys up in Austin saw the 300 million from ESPN ( who wouldn't) but failed to realize the impact it would have on them and their own league.
The Aggies were sought after by the SEC which makes sense for the Ags. They are big boys and will do just fine over there and probably recruit even better and continue to challenge and win some battles on National Signing day.
Texas has a revenue stream no program can't even come close too. That's not their fault but it will , most likely, cause the end to the Big 12 as we know it.
I found it amusing that the UT brass , so desperate to save the Big 12, packed up and went to OKC Sunday to hold a meeting with OU officials to beg and plead with them to stay.
The more people in Oklahoma I speak with and more reports I read, I have a feeling OU and OSU have their sights set on the Pac-12 once the invite is handed out. That could go down in the next week or two.
The Longhorns are 2-0 but have been anything but impressive in wins over Rice and BYU. They struggled against the Owls until the second half and should of lost that game to BYU but the defense stepped up while the offense sputtered.
There is a QB issue brewing on the 40 acres too. Problem is neither Garrett Gilbert, David Ash or Case McCoy is a top tier quarterback.. It's obvious Gilbert's confidence is shot and I'm just not convinced Ash or McCoy, although good players, will ever reach the level Texas needs to compete at the top level. Ash and McCoy will share the "co-starter" roles going to UCLA this weekend. UCLA is no good so this should be an easy win no matter who is at quarterback.
Great news for the Texans. Those clowns that reported WR Kevin Walter had a "broken shoulder" were a tad off the mark. In fact there were reports locally and nationally that it was more severe until Head Coach Gary Kubiak cleared things up at his Monday newser that there was no fracture, just a bad bruise and that Walter would be checked out in a couple of days. Kubiak didn't rule out Walter for Sunday but then again wouldn't give that away necessarily anyway on a Monday. I expect Walter to miss Sunday's game in Miami then be ready for the Saints. Maybe he's a quick healer. Walter doesn't wow you with stats but he's a gamer on the field and a great fit for this offense.
The Astros are in their final stretch. Currently sitting at 97 losses after they whipped Roy Oswalt and the Phillies Monday night. I enjoyed watching that. Roy was very moody in his final months as an Astros and selfishly demanded a trade. That rubbed me the wrong way. Berkman hinted at wanting a move as well and that bothered me too. I'm not a fan of athletes who are paid well believing they are owed anything when it comes to playing for a winner. Last I checked , the players need to look in the mirror and remember they are the ones who are expected to produce between the lines.
I'm all for Hunter Pence. He took the high road and never complained. No player worked harder than Hunter. I had many conversations with him past few years and at Spring Training about his work ethic and what drives him. He's the ultimate player who wants to win. Great thing about Hunter is he didn't whine and complain about playing for a losing organization.
He sat there, showed up to play and when the Astros moved him, he said thanks and moved on to help the Phillies.
The Astros will lose 100 games and probably between 105-110 when it's over in a few weeks. GM Ed Wade needs to remain on the job. He's made strides and has a good staff (although I totally disagreed with the move to let go top scout Rusty Pendergrass. That just didn't make sense.).
I've enjoyed watching the young kids get in their everyday. They are growing up fast but the Astros need more help. Here's hoping the new owner won't let things remain stale for too much longer.

MissRo here! When it comes to my hair, I am constantly on the search for products that will help keep my curly locks frizz-free. It doesn't matter if I'm keeping my hair curly or blowing it out straight, I need products that are going to tame the frizz.
When I was doing some research online, I came across the Mixed Chicks brand. I instantly perked up, because I am a mixed chick! My Mother is Jamaican, Scottish and my Father is Polish, Jewish. I thought, wow, a brand specifically for me! I immediately got in touch with them and asked them if I could try their product.
So on Monday (which is my wash-the-hair day, because I only wash my hair twice a week. I'm telling you, it's the way to go. It makes your hair super healthy), I decided to try their Deep Conditioner. It comes in a healthy-sized tub for only...$10.99! I shampooed my hair and grabbed about the size of a large grape of the conditioner. I massaged it through my hair and then combed it through. (Tip - Ladies to get the most out of any conditioner, always comb it through. It helps to get the product through every inch of your hair, but also helps with styling).
On to my blow dry! Well, I have to tell you, I was pretty impressed. I put in my styling products as usual, but I felt my hair was easier to blow dry and light as a feather. Not to mention my hair dried faster than normal, which I was quite surprised about.
The next time I wash my hair, I will have to let it dry in my naturally curly state. I'm sure I will be as impressed with the Deep Conditioner with my curly hair as I am with my hair blown out. I will also give their Shampoo a try and let you know how that product is.
To learn more about Mixed Chicks, click here. You can find Mixed Chicks pretty much worldwide. From California to Scotland and every where in between.
Do you have naturally curly hair? If so, do you blow dry it all the time or where it curly? What are some of your favorite products to use to stay frizz-free?

The Brangelina crowd uses this, that's a pretty high endorsement!
I'm not sure if you're joking but I'll take a grin anyway! :D
Mine is naturally pretty wavy and if I dont flat iron it it just lloks like frizzy waves :x. I really need to find some products that will help define my waves. This sounds like awesome stuff.
I have used the coconut oil lately and it has tamed down a lot of my frizziness and added so much shine. I used to blow my hair out every other day, because if it is just air dried then I won't wear it down. It just looks horrible with half super curly and the other half just wavy, tons of frizzies and no body. Yuck! When I was blowing it out I used the CHI silk or John Frieda Frizz Tamer serum but they only kind of worked to tame it but did add shine. I used the Pantene for Color Deep Moisture shampoo with the olive oil in it (think its pretty new from them) because I have really dry hair but it proved to be TOO much oil for my hair. Do you think that would be the case from Mixed Chicks MissRo?
Style may be on the surface, but you can be deep and still have some - Clarissa Gough
I am a Mixed Chick myself (Hawaiian and Irish) and I'ved used Aveda products pretty successfully for years. Saw the Mixed Chick products on this website, and I'm intrigued! will definitely give it a try.oh, and I definitely do not blow out. It would take way too long! I diffuse dry, everyday, wearing my hair natural and CURLY.
Thanks for the review, i'm excited to try this stuff out. I have a question MissRo...You say you only wash your hair twice a week...what about on days when you exercise or get sweaty? Do you wash your hair on those days, or just rinse? I've tried just rinsing, and I can't get my hair to look good. I have naturally curly hair and would love to be able to wash it as little as possible, but was curious to find out how to go without washing on sweaty days. :) Does anyone have any advice?
I only wash my hair once or twice a week as well, but rinse thoroughly and condition the ends every day. Works well for me, even on exercise days.
rhianrae, I also just wash my hair twice a week. I just tend to put my hair up in a bun and wash my body after excersising, I know it might seem gross but really, my hair is not sweaty after exercising just the rest of me. ;)MissRo, thanks for the review. I've been looking at a few deep treatments lately and will be sure to see if I can give this one a try.
Really great tip about combing your conditioner through--I never would've thought of that but it makes total sense.My hair is straight-ish but it's weird because while it's fine in texture, it's very dense and there's a lot of it--I have to get it thinned out every time I get it cut because it gets really heavy. I don't wash my hair every day either. For most of my life it was completely impossible to not wash it every day--it would look greasy, limp, and all-around nasty if I didn't. But, since I've switched to natural shampoos, I've discovered something...That wasn't my hair's natural behavior, the shampoos and products I'd been using all my life had made it behave that way. With natural shampoos, I can get away with washing my hair every other day or even every third day, AND my normally pin straight hair actually has some nice texture to it now. I can't believe what a difference this has made. So, for those of you who think you can't possibly cut down the number of times per week you wash your hair--consider switching!
I never, ever blow dry my curly hair. It gets way to frizzy when I do. And I am completely impatient!! It takes too long. But I am always on the look out for great new products for my curls. This line sounds great. I heard about it awhile ago. But I never really thought to try it until our Miss Ro gave it such a positive review. Thanks! I look forward to getting my hands on some in the near future!
I just clicked on the advertisement for this on Meg'smakeup home page last night and spent a while reviewing their site. It sounds like something I am definitely going to try in the near future. It seems to be very similar, in philosophy, to the Jessicurl line. Altough, I'm hoping I like it better than the Jessicurl line, their conditioner just wasn't heavy enough for me. I have naturally wavy hair that is prone to frizz. It is also very fine and very long, past my bra strap. I stopped blow drying about 7 years ago to let it grow without damage. When I used heat styling on a regular basis, I could never get my hair to grow more than a couple of inches past my shoulders. So I stopped heat styling and just let it grow for about 5 years. By that time it was pretty healthy and I could heat style once in a while. My routine is to wash 2-3 times per week. I use several different haircare lines, Pureology, NoPoo, Wen, Dessert Essencse. I kind of gave up on the traditional salon brands and found that the formulas that were more natural worked a lot better. I never blow dry, ever. I wash my hair at night, with one of the forementioned brands. Then I put in a styling product at the roots and top half of my hair. Right now I'm using a mousse by Tigi for fine hair. Then concentrating on the ends and bottom half, I use something more moisturizing. Right now I'm using David Babaii hair polish. That stuff is amazing. I comb it all through and wind my hair in a top not at the top of my head and clip it. I sleep on it and in the morning I have polished controlled waves with no frizz. Usually I touch up the fringe with the GHD styler. This is an iron that does waves, straightens and many other styles because the plates to do not have sharp defined edges. I bought mine from Sephora for about $200, but it is well worth it. It does far, far less damage than any other heat tool.
You mentioned the Jessicurl conditioner wasnt' enough for you. Was it the regular conditioner or the Too Shea? I LOVE the Too Shea and can't imagine it not working. But then again everyone's hair reacts differently. Just curious!
Love, hugs and shoes...Angie
I don't have curly hair, but I get the WORST knots (like almost dreadlocks lol). I need a super moisturizing conditioner...this sounds great!
Lisa Kate
Miss Ro, i am excited about the new product! i am not a mixed chick, but just like Melilala, 100% Sicilian and have major frizz with mixed curl and waves. So i think i too will give this conditioner a try!I am also looking for any kind of tips regarding blowing my curls out. I have done it several times, but it takes so long and is still frizzy and even with a straight iron i feel its too much work...so i welcome any help you guys can give!! thanks!!!
The only bummer about this product is that the 5th ingredient is a silicone. I, being a curly girl myself, stay clear of silicones because I don't use a SLS shampoo. You have to use a SLS shampoo to remove the silicone or it just builds up and suffocates your hair.
This sounds like pretty nice stuff, and a great price too! I have naturally curly/wavy hair and I let it air dry 99% of the time. I use either Morrocanoil (the best!), Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal (also has argan oil) or Fekkai glossing cream. The only time I have a problem with frizz now is if it's super humid.
this looks like a great line, but they dont list their ingredients... that's just a deal breaker for me. i'm not a curly... at all... but i love jessicurls too shea, and i liked their deep treat sample (hated their shampoo tho).
well i will have to remember this before I buy more conditioner..thanks
I have wavy hair that can get pretty frizzy. I am always on the lookout for new products. I just started using Herbal Essence totally twisted and really like what it does for my hair. I have used hair cholestoral from CVS recently like $5 as a deep condidtioner and it really made my hair shiny. I also have added Aveda Be Curly and if the right amount is used workes great for my hair. I am a minimalist when it comes to styling my hair so a good cut and great products are key. I recently got the best compliment ever "Your hair looks really shiny and healthy. I just love your hair."It was soo great to hear because I do put a lot of energy into trying to keep int healthy. This deep conditioner sounds good. I've also use Oscar Blandi deep conditioner and though it worked well. I have really oily hair so I kinda have to wash my hair everyday but if I'm short on time I will use Oscar Blandi dry shampoo and it works great-soaks up oil and has a nice smell it's lemon verbana. I also use citre shine on my dry hair to tame fly aways.
I too LOVED Jessicurls Too Shea but I haven't tried the shampoo yet. I've often been intrigued by this line just because the ladies are SO pretty and their hair looks great! I would be interested to try this and see how it stands up next to the Too Shea I love so much.
Love, hugs and shoes...Angie
Do it! They have like a travel size type of kit where you can get all of the products (a cleanser, two types of conditioner, + styling products) suitable for your hair type. Fine or coarse. You can try out the entire line that way. A little bit goes a long way so you get a lot for the money. Isn't your hair super dry? I think I remember you saying that. If so, even if it is fine in texture, I'd go with the coarse. Aloeba conditioner is the daily conditioner in the Fine kit with Too Shea! as the deep. I don't think Aloeba will do enough for you, it's light (although I've heard of some people using it as a leave in with great results). In the coarse kit, Too Shea! is the daily and there's an even richer conditioner called Weekly Deep Conditioning Treatment that you use...well... weekly. :)
I saw this brand for the time 1st time surfing the web. It looks awesome. It is really cool when you find a product that works, I am happy for MissRo and I enjoy MissRo's articles too. I will pass on the 411 to my friends.
Oh...I have also been trying out the David Babaii products and so far am really liking them! Future reviews for me!
Love, hugs and shoes...Angie
VERY eager to hear about these!
I have naturally wavy, very frizzy hair. What products do I use? Anything and everything that says it will help tame the frizz. Nothing works!Next up, MIXED CHICKS!
I was first told about it in a beauty supply store. And was like, "no way I am like the furthest thing from a mixed chick." The sales lady said it was really great... and I still said, "may be if you had JewFro" Anyway, that was over a year or two ago and Meg gave Me some to try and it is great stuff. It made my hair look and feel amazing. I have to say, "I like my mixed chicks" Asian/black, Mexican/white, Irish/jewish, french/italian, Russian/Greek, anything/anything.... all beautiful. Hey, I even like non-mixed-chicks.
This wouldn't do anything for me, but I have a mixed cousin who I bet would love it, I'll have to tell her about this brand!
ref26, Don't be so sure. It makes a great lather. I think it's worth a try. My hair is so far from a "mixed chick" DNA but the aroma and the later and the way my hair looks is great. It is meant to nurture and control curly hair but I really like it. If you try and and don't like it, you can give it to your cousin.... :-)
I have naturally curly hair...err..naturally frizzy hair! So i always blow dry it strait and flat iron...its very hard to wear my hair curly because my "curls" are so undefined. Its a fact that curly hair gets much more dry and brittle than strait hair does. I would really be interested in trying this product....its specifically made for us curly girlies and sounds like it works wonders!!! <3
"Never take someone for granted. Hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you've lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones..."
I wear my hair au natural half of the time. I tend to make it stick straight for things like weddings, interviews etc. I'm not quite sure why. Maybe I would go more often au natural if I had the right products and my curls didn't look so wild. I will put this on my list of potential conditioners.
I want to get thisss!! My hair is usually not frizzy at all and pretty straight, but it's really damaged due to dyeing it too many times and also straightening/blowdrying without a protecting spray/cream on.
I wish I could go more than a day without washing my hair! By day 1.5, my scalp eczema starts to go nuts. But since I have curly hair that's on the coarse side, I do enjoy deep conditioners -- but it's hard for me to find one that won't add to my already oily scalp. The new Neutrogena deep conditioner works ok, but I'm still looking for my "go to" hair mask.
This sounds pretty good. Right now i'm using Frizz-ease Secret Weapon which works but i dont really like the smell so much. Maybe i'll try this when i run out of my FE.
I have been looking at the add over on the side for a few weeks now and am very interested!Did they give you samples when you contacted them?I would be interested in trying it. I have curly unruly hair thats frizzy and flat and takes 10 plb of hairspray to make doable. Ive bought sooooo many products only to be dissapointed in them and now I am product weary!!! I stick to the stuff I have.... Which is crunchy curls but I LONG to have soft beautiful curls with body and definition!I usually add product and let dry naturally. If Im feeling extra vigerous I add product and blow dry upside down with a diffuser for more volumous curls.I only wash my hair...ohhh Every other to every 2 days.Will have to contact them and see if they sell sampl sizes

when i was wearing my hair natural, i used carols daughter products and sebastian "wet" to controll frizz. i got tired of washing daily to get the look i really wanted so now im relaxed.
Curly hair products make me wish I had curly hair! They all sound amazing with their incredible ingredients and promises of shiny, frizz free bouncy hair.Unfortuantely with my thin, oily and lank straight hair, if I used one my hair would be a big greasy mess within hours.Oh a girl can dream!
I second you nicollback! I wish I had naturally curly hair and have all those wonderful pampering products work their magic on me!
I also wash my hair 2-3 times during the week, just last evening I read about "Mixed-Chicks" hair products my hair is very curly and rather dry. I have a small arsenal of hair products ranging from Ouidad to White Rain.I usually let my hair dry naturally, sometimes I will do a total comb out and straighten my hair (it takes me an hour) my husband loves it when I do that. I am going to order some of the products from Mixed Chicks, thanks for the review MissRo!
Oh my God! I am the Oklahoma City Beauty Examiner for Examiner.com, and I've been trying to get in touch with the ladies over at Mixed Chicks to try their products. I'm doing a series right now on curly hair, because I'm a naturally curly girl. I am in love with Hair Rules, DevaCurl, and Kinky-Curly products. So far every single product in these lines have been amazing, and smell delicious. I hope the Mixed Chicks pr people get back to me because I'm dying to try their products too.
Thanks for this review! I have very thick naturally curly hair. When I wear it curly, I get big spirals- and a lot of frizz, if I'm not careful!I wish I could blow dry my hair straight, but that is not going to happen. I end up with a poofy, frizzy mess. I have to flat iron it too. Its like a 45 minute process but it lasts for at least 3-4 days. I love this Redkin shine serum oil thing (sorry, I'm too lazy to get up & check the name!) When its curly, I like using a styling cream from Garnier. Its in a green tub and only costs about 3 bucks. It helps with the frizz & defines my curls without getting crunchy (a pet peeve of mine)I'm definately going to check out this line, I love the difference good shampoo and conditioner make on my hair.=)
yea.... So I wanted to chick out their product line and contact them for samples, and I wasnt on megs at the moment so I just typed in mixedchicks.complease dont do that.... lolthat is NOT the site...mixedchicks.net IS the site lol I ended up visiting some porn....

I'd like to try the Mixed Chicks products but I'm not crazy about silicone products on my hair. Besides, I'm still really happy with Jessicurl. I swear it's the best line I've ever used. Too Shea conditioner is something I'll use forever. And I also like the cleansing cream, deep treatment, and the styling products. Ouidad is good too, but the Island Fantasy fragrance in Jessicurl's products makes me very happy. Plus I love supporting a small business. I have tried just about every product made for curly hair! Blow drying is usually a mistake because a little humidity causes all your work to be in vain. And I definitely am on board with washing my hair only twice a week. Rinsing on the other days works just fine. Right now, my hair is probably in the best condition ever. As Jessica says: You have the right to remain curly!
I wash my hair every three days or so, just so I don't strip it of any of the natural oils. And I agree with combing conditioner through your hair - it really works! : ]

The strangest thing happen with my last haircut. I went to Toni & Guy and I had naturally curly hair when I arrived, but after he cut it all my curls were gone. I don't know what he did. I still have a few poopsie curls around the perimeter, but the rest is wavy to straight. I lost a little over half my hair in 2005, so I had it cut real short back then.When it started growing it was really curly, like afro curly. I wore a hat during that stage. As it got longer, I had these beautiful curls (not too tight or too loose). Now they are gone. Very sad. When I did have curly hair I didn't blow dry I just let it dry naturally. I would use Biosilk or Chi to smooth wild hairs. Before I knew my curls were gone, the dude from Toni & Guy sold me a bottle of "Let It Be" leave in conditioner for $22.00. I didn't ask how much it was and I didn't realize how much it was till I got home. Insane!!! I would have returned it, but I was too upset about my missing curls. I think I will put it in a nice gift basket with cosmetics, and other recommended products from here for my nieces 17th birthday. I love making gift baskets.Thanks MissRo!
"I swim outside the fish bowl" Quote by Me
I've had this happen too. I had super curly hair going in to a cut and came out with much looser curls that were closer to waves. It has a lot to do with the cut. Lorraine Massey believes in where you cut in the curl pattern makes a difference. Like if you cut it in a specific part, you can take the curl out. I can't really explain it, you can look it up in her book Curly Girl (not trying to plug it, I got everything I needed from it in one read at the library). Sounds to me like the hair got cut in a bad place. I think curly hair can get traumatized. Really I do. Curly girls are curly by nature of DNA, so it's impossible to change that, so I don't think your curls are gone, just kinda hiding. Just treat your hair really nicely, condition it and don't brush. I don't know how you style your hair or you drying technique, but check out jessicurl.com for a demonstration of "plopping" or "plunking" to dry the hair to emphasize the curl. And of course scrunch if you like to scrunch. And think curly thoughts. ;)
Rhinarae, I go to the gym daily and sweat a lot, but I only wash my frizzy hair twice a week. I use dry shampoo, which absorbs any excess oil and my hair never looks dirty at all. I love Bumble and Bumble, but there are several others that are good.
My hair is borderline between wavy and curly. I usually let it dry naturally, especially because I wear it up practically everyday. Occassionally I will wear it down, but I only straighten it on very special occasions, because my hair hates heat styling tools. I also comb in my conditioner, and leave it in for a few good minutes, which I find helps my hair. I use coconut oil/butter as a leave in treatment, which is good too (but I put it in at night so that it has a chance to absorb).
I noticed the ad on the left side of the page over there the other day and I was excited to learn about another indie curly brand. I looked all over their site though, but I could not find an ingredients list. This turned me off a bit. I like knowing what's in my shampoo and conditioners. I'm not going to buy something (especially off the net being unable to sniff, test, etc.) that I don't know what's in it. One of the things I liked about Jessicurl from the start was that she listed every ingredient in each of her products. Then she had a page where she talked about each ingredient and where it comes from, when there are good alcohols and she only has the good ones in her products, etc. It seemed like she was being upfront and honest about what went into the product. If they put up an ingredients list, I'd definitely give them a second look.
I have naturally curly hair and in my 20+ years of existence, I have only straightened my hair a total of 3 times. My curls are such a huge part of my personality, and are so versatile that I find it's difficult to change it.As I've grown, I've learned to manage my hair better. Now I use almost all natural products in my hair and it has rewarded me more for it. I make sure to do a deep conditioning treatment 1-2 times a month in my hair where I will hold it for a half hour or so, and I use KinkyCurly detangler, which works wonders on my hair and doubles as a leave-in conditioner.I can't live without leave in conditioners. Or olive oil. Or hairspray. Once I get my hair semicrunchy, I am ready. It sounds a bit terrible but the "crunchiness" goes away in under an hr and my hair is back to being soft but not frizzy.

Fitness evaluation
i would like to have a fitness evaluation. ie:treadmill stress EKG, VO2 max, RMR, bodyfat, etc. Were can i get evaluation done?
Depending of the facility, some fitness centers or health clubs may be able to perform all of the tests you are talking about. However, some of the tests (i.e., VO2 max, EKG, RMR) because of the invasiveness and equipment needed, are generally performed by a cardiologist, family physicians, etc. At our facility, University Fitness at the University of Cincinnati, we can perform body compositions and test your muscular strength or flexibility.

Saddened by the passing of a loved one but more than a little busy this week? Net death may be just the ticket for time-poor mourners.
Virtual tombstones are proving hard to sell to Australians but the West Australian Metropolitan Cemeteries Board is under virtual stampede from the bereaved and is netcasting an average three funerals a week just a year after the service was launched.
The funeral webcast costs $275 for a live feed with the service remaining on the website for 30 days for those who may find the programmed time inconvenient.
Virtual death may solve many problems - no unsightly tear marks on your suede jacket - but at least one age-old dilemma remains. Just as you may wonder who'll come to your grave, how often and for how long they'll stay, you'll never know how many hits your tombstone gets.
And, given the range and transgressions of hackers, what chance mourners log on only to find your virtual resting place has been defaced? Or your resting place devoured by a mutant worm or virus?
Board executive director Michael Duff said another service, Memories e-ternalvirtual interment, was languishing. Only one body lies on the internet slab.
"It's slow. The age group we're dealing with still prefer the old traditional memorials," he said.
"So I think we're probably a bit ahead of our time. I suppose the baby boomers will probably be more receptive to newer forms of memorialisation."
Virtual memorials feature a slide show of life - invariably accompanied by Glenn Miller's In The Mood - until the loved one fades away again.
Opportunities exist even if death pre-dated the internet. You can now retrospectively bury your ancestors in a virtual cemetery and contribute to the enthusiasm for genealogical information and family history.
Tombstones without bodies surely open opportunities for someone to pull a Mark Twain and bring forward their own - or someone else's - demise.
Not surprisingly, Service Corporation International the US-based funeral chain - which also dominates the Australian market - sells a range of online memorials in North America.
Everlasting Memories packages sell for $US495 ($772) to help "celebrate life and life events by preserving life stories to share with friends and family around the world for current and future generations".
Stairway to Heaven's virtual tombstones, with inscriptions for loved pets, is "no longer accepting new orders", a sign that death on the net offers no guarantee of eternal life.

This is rumor only, folks, but a tipster tells us that JC Penney plans on closing 11 stores this year, and that they're freezing salaries on all employees. The retailer isn't doing as badly as some of its competitors—it has no debt maturing in 2009, for example, and plans to have $2 billion in cash on hand at the end of this month—but considering CEO Mike Ullman has said he's planning business conservatively for 2009, it wouldn't be that surprising if it turns out to be true.

Compass Inn Museum offers Halloween hauntings
A historic building established in 1799 seems a likely venue for ghostly activity. Join docents dressed in period costumes on a Halloween Hauntings storytelling tour through the Compass Inn Museum, to learn some history about the buildings and the era, and possibly be visited by a spirit in the process.
"There have been a few things that have occurred at the inn," said the museum's project coordinator, Roberta Smith. "Some can be explained, other things cannot."
Candlelight tours of the Compass Inn are being offered to the public 6 – 9 p.m. Oct. 25 and 26 and from 5 – 8 p.m. Oct. 27. Cost is $4 for ages 12 and up and $2 for children under 12.
Participants taking the tour will learn a bit of history about the building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the people who visited and worked there.
"The stories are about the history and reported happenings at the inn," said Smith. "We want visitors to be able to come to the museum at night and hear these stories for themselves."
Stories will be shared about spirits who are believed to have visited the inn and the surrounding Ligonier Valley area.
"It's such an old building that a good many people have come and gone through the Inn," said Smith. "We've had both visitors and volunteers who have heard noises and witnessed unexplainable occurrences here."
Footsteps are often heard where no person has been and instances of lights turning on and off have been recorded.
"We check on everything that is reported," Smith said. "For example, one time after lights in an upstairs room were flickering, we called in an electrician and it was determined that a socket had a short. On the other hand, hearing footsteps where there's no one at the Inn; that is unexplainable."
Several years ago a psychic medium visited the Compass inn and said she felt spirits present. One spirit was believed to be that of a woman who, after being badly burned in the inn's kitchen, later passed away.
A portion of the tour includes access to the 1862 room — an addition that was built onto the inn that is only open to the public during candlelight tours.
To make reservations for a Halloween Hauntings tour, those interested should call: 724-238-4983.

BRASS bands from around Yorkshire descended on York at the weekend for the 2014 Brassed On York Festival.
The festival, which is now in its fourth year, saw more than a dozen bands from Wetherby, Kippax and York perform in Parliament Street and the Coppergate shopping centre over the weekend.
On Sunday, the Black Dyke Band performed a Yorkshire Prom concert at York Barbican, and all bands were given a special yellow baton to lead their concerts, in honour of Mike Hughes, who is raising £19,000 to ride in the Marie Curie Power Peloton ahead of the Tour de France.
Kate Lock, who played in two of the bands and helped organise the event, said: "I'm so thrilled. What we wanted to do with this was to showcase brass bands because they are pure Yorkshire and we have the most brass bands and the best brass bands, and they have really done themselves proud.
"It's been such a nice friendly crowd, very mixed, and not traditional brass band audience, who have suddenly seen how amazing they can be. I'm thrilled and proud."

How to Renew a Passport in Atlanta, Georgia
If you live in Atlanta, or anywhere in the U.S., the easiest way to renew a passport is through the mail. When you must get a new passport in person, the Atlanta Passport agency and nine local U.S. post offices are available to process your passport application. In some cases, such as when your old passport is lost or you are traveling within 14 days, you will have to renew in person.
Renewing Through the Mail
Step 1
Renew your passport through the mail if possible. If you received your previous passport within the last 15 years while you were at least 16 years old and the passport remains undamaged, you can renew through the mail. Even if your name has changed, you can renew via mail as long as you have legal documents to support the name change, such as a marriage license. At the time of publication, the cost to renew through the mail was $140 for an adult.
Step 2
Obtain and complete a DS-82 form, available on the U.S. Department of State website (travel.state.gov/passport) or from a U.S. Consulate. Take special care to sign and date the form on page 1.
Step 3
Take a color photo of your face while you are standing in front of a white background. Maintain a neutral facial expression in the photo, and wear clothing you would be wearing typically during travel. The photo must be 2-by-2 inches in size and printed on quality photo paper.
Step 4
Send the signed DS-82 form, your photo, passport fees and your old passport in a padded envelope to the National Passport Processing Center, Post Office Box 90155, Philadelphia, PA 19190-0155. If you want to expedite the delivery of your passport, include an additional $60 expedited service fee and write "EXPEDITED" on the side of your envelope.
Renewing in Person
Step 1
Renew your passport in person if you are ineligible to renew through the mail or need your passport within a few weeks. The Atlanta Passport Agency requires a scheduled appointment for passport renewal, and is located at 230 Peachtree Street N.W., Suite 1000, Atlanta, GA 30303. You must be traveling within two weeks to book an appointment at a passport agency. If your travel date is farther out, book an appointment at a local acceptance facility. A list of facilities can be obtained via the State Department.
Step 2
Prepare all required documents before attending your appointment at the passport agency or other facility. Obtain and complete the DS-11 form from the U.S. Department of State, but do not sign it before your appointment. Get an original copy of your birth certificate or another proof of citizenship, and take a 2-by-2-inch passport photo. You also need a government issued ID and a copy of that ID.
Step 3
Attend your appointment at the Atlanta Passport Agency or acceptance facility, signing your DS-11 form in front of the acceptance agent. You also will pay your fees at the appointment. At the time of publication, the total fees for getting a new passport in person were $165. To expedite your passport delivery, pay the additional $60 fee during your appointment.

Mission work has no borders for Victory Family Church in Cranberry
Victory Family Church in Cranberry supports missions as nearby as Zelienople and the North Side and as far away as Lusaka, Zambia, and Queensland, Australia.
When it comes to such projects, "A thousand hands doing something small can become significant," said John Nuzzo, the Beaver County native who founded the church 20 years ago after working as a missionary in Africa.
With about 5,000 members, the nondenominational church supports roughly 30 missions that range from the Light of Life Rescue Mission, a North Side shelter, to the Nation's Hope, an evangelistic outreach in Singapore.
From 2009 to 2011, the church spent $1.5 million on missions. Ten percent of all non-designated giving to the church goes to a fund for those activities.
"Our missions are very big on lifting people out of trouble. Our role is not to be against people. Christians are known too much for what we are against, not what we are for," Nuzzo said.
One of his favorite organizations the church supports is Glade Run Lutheran Services, an organization that provides behavioral health, education, and social services in Zelienople, Beaver Falls, Butler and Pittsburgh.
"They have children there who are in such dire straits. They are caring for kids who many people would prefer would not exist and making them better," Nuzzo said.
In the past year, members of the church have traveled on missions to places such as Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and Bulgaria.
Slavena Stefanova, 25, of Butler led the two-week trip to Bulgaria, which included working at an orphanage and a government-run nursing home, holding conferences at churches and street preaching.
Stefanova's family moved to Butler County from Bulgaria 14 years ago. Victory Church helped them with housing when they arrived. So she had a particular interest in returning to Bulgaria.
"The 47 years of communism there wiped out the idea of God altogether," she said.
The nursing home at which she worked there was decrepit. Its 100 residents share two bathrooms and two showers.
"We bought all of the residents bathrobes to shorten the time they need to spend in the shower. We talked to them about Jesus and the reason we were doing this," Stefanova said.
Sarah Weaver, 30, of Cranberry spent two years working as a missionary for Dynamis World Ministries, a worldwide missions organization with headquarters in Lancaster. The church sponsored her work.
She spent time in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia on evangelistic crusades and church-planting.
In many of the towns where she worked, the soccer field was the equivalent of the town square. "We preached in open fields all the time. As a Christian, I think it's good to share," Weaver said.

Industrial production and manufacturing figures for September were published by the Office for National Statistics this morning. They showed manufacturing picked up in September a little more than the statisticians had expected when they estimated third quarter economic growth, but not enough to trigger a revision to the 0.8 per cent initial growth estimate. The following five charts add some detail and put the figures in context.

You're probably not surprised I'm picking the Giants to win Super Bowl XLVI, 27-21. Here's how I see it playing out:
The Patriots will control the battle for time of possession with short passing and running, but the Giants will make more big plays. New England may have an early lead before its defense — namely the secondary — will not hold late.
Either Eli Manning or one of the Giant receivers will win MVP (Victor Cruz is the best candidate), but you'll see a defensive guy make his own bid, like Michael Boley or Justin Tuck. The Pats will spend most of their energy against Jason Pierre-Paul and Osi Umenyiora.
Here are a few ridiculous predictions that I guarantee:
• The Giants will start with the ball. (The Patriots like to defer and Tom Coughlin has already said he'll take the ball.)
• One team will convert a fourth down. (Both teams have shown a penchant to go for it on fourth down.)
• Tom Brady will pass for more yards than Manning, but Manning will commit fewer turnovers.
• If the Giants win, Coughlin will be doused with CLEAR liquid. (Book it.)
Enjoy the game. I hope I will.
I don't want to clog the Twitter feed with Super Bowl tweets. If you want to read my thoughts on the game, follow along @jthomson22. Go Giants.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/3/2012 (1979 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It takes a great deal of chutzpah for a theatre to stage Angels in America.
The play's subtitle, A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, openly declares that it perceives the world through a gay man's eyes. That was not always a compelling selling point for audiences in 1990, when the Tony Kushner script was first staged, or even today.
"Some people could find the content upsetting," says Michael Nathanson, artistic producer of the Winnipeg Jewish Theatre, which is closing its season with the 1993 Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play. "It's a raw piece of theatre. It deals with gay men. There is an implied sex scene. It's graphic about how AIDS ravages the body."
While the company has not received any subscriber cancellations or complaints, it is not naive enough to think that homophobia is not prevalent. That reality convinced Nathanson to program not only Angels in America but, for the first time in Winnipeg, the epic's companion piece, Perestroika, next fall to launch WJT's 25th anniversary season.
Nathanson was watching a performance of Shakespeare in the Ruins' all-male Romeo and Juliet a couple of years ago at Kelvin High School. When the guys playing the title characters kissed, it generated snickers and comments from the audience.
"For these 200 to 300 teenagers, it was a joke, an uncomfortable joke," says Nathanson, who calls Angels in America one of the greatest plays of the 20th century. "I knew then that this play needs to be performed. We need to understand each other.
"While, happily, AIDS is not the epidemic and death sentence it was when the play burst forth from the pen of Tony Kushner, homophobia is still a massive problem."
The risk of presenting Angels in America for any troupe is also economic. WJT has doubled its typical show budget to $100,000 to do it. The eight-person cast is huge for WJT, which during its 2009-10 season employed only seven actors in total.
"It's the largest scale show we've attempted," says Nathanson.
It doesn't get done much any more (the Canadian première was at the RMTC Warehouse in 1994), probably owing to the subject matter, the cost and the running time of three-plus hours. There are the technical demands of flying an angel, which a lot of theatres cannot do, either because of the expense or the stage size.
Kushner lets producers off the hook by noting in his text that the play benefits from a pared-down style of presentation. That's liberating for a company like WJT, working out of a five-metre-high Berney Theatre.
"We can't fly anything, not even a paper airplane," says Nathanson. "But we still want some wow factor and don't want someone walking on stage saying, 'Hi, angel here.' Our angel doesn't fly but she does something that's really cool."
Angels in America resists easy capsulizing or analysis. It's set in the late '80s when everything in the United States was in decline and there was an impending sense of apocalypse. Kushner, a Jewish, gay socialist, presents a cross-section of America with characters such as Prior Walter, a gay man with AIDS, and his Jewish lover, Louis Ironson, who flees after learning about his partner's illness. There are Joe Pitt, a closeted gay Mormon, and Harper, his pill-popping wife.
"I think what Kushner is saying is that we are all connected, that we have a responsibility to one another," says actor Nicholas Rice, who still counts himself a Winnipegger despite having lived in Toronto for the last 30 years. "We're each other's keepers."
Rice, a Kelvin graduate, plays Roy Cohn, the notorious Red-baiter and Republican power broker.
"I describe Roy Cohn as exquisitely vile," he says. "If a doctor's diagnosis is that he has AIDS, he says he can't, because that's what homosexuals get. He screws around with men, but he believes he's not homosexual. He can take black and say it's white."
The prototype for a character like Cohn is someone like Shakespeare's Richard III or Iago, he says.
"Roy is up there with those dudes and he's fascinating to watch," says Rice, who has been in half a dozen WJT productions.
Is he the most heinous character ever to grace the WJT stage?
Says Nathanson: "Well, we've had a lot of Nazis, so he's in good company.

Saturday Odd Bits Roundup: Happiness ResearchSaturday, October 3rd, 2009
Levity (not joke telling) increases happiness and happy employees are more productive, innovative and less likely to leave.
Today we'll take a look at some fascinating "happy" research.
The NY Times runs an opinion column called Happy Days that posts thoughts, research and comments from professionals and regular folks. A recent post by Paul Bloom, a Yale professor of psychology caught my eye. In it he considers whether it is necessary to choose between being a "happy pig or sad Socrates," in other words, is it necessary to choose between indulging yourself and being a good person. Be sure to check out the comments; they add some excellent thoughts.
Second is a long article, but well worth the time to read it, especially if you are interested in the research being done on social networks.
Social scientists Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler are analyzing data from a study that has followed more than 15,000 Framingham residents and their descendants since it was 1948.
Their finding is that "good behaviors — like quitting smoking or staying slender or being happy — pass from friend to friend almost as if they were contagious viruses," although not all experts agree.
Next week we'll explore levity here at MAPpingCompanySuccess starting Monday with a review of the Levity Effect.
Please join us and add your thoughts on the subject.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/6/2014 (1150 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The current thinking and approach at city hall is failing Winnipeg. Two-thirds of citizens don't trust council to manage the city effectively. There are 68 properties that, as of June 20, are still battling frozen water pipes. Add to the mix potholes and 'voids.' The never-ending rapid transit saga is a prime example of the dog chasing its tail -- dizzying, tiresome and fruitless.
The appetite for an overhaul at city hall appears stronger than ever. Historically, candidates have attempted to feed that hunger with platforms short on innovative, long-term action and long on bland, short-term patchwork fixes.
Have vision, inspiration and creativity become Kryptonite to candidates' election prospects? Must we accept the 30-second elevator pitch as the high-water mark of Winnipeg political thought?
Election 2014 is our window to demand more from candidates. If a different result from city hall is needed, reject status quo ideas promising different outcomes. If elections are about electing leaders, speak up and demand leadership.
For starters, let's insist candidates set measurable goals tied to each campaign promise. A trip without a destination is just a leisurely countryside drive; at the current price of gas, wandering aimlessly is a luxury the city cannot afford.
Goals must be ambitious. Let's aim to have the most head offices per capita in Canada by 2026 -- Calgary led at 17.7 per 100,000 in 2011, followed by Toronto (12.6) and Winnipeg (11.9). Or push Winnipeg's score on Statistics Canada's crime-severity index to the bottom third (Winnipeg scored the fourth highest of 33 cities in 2012). There are no shortage of goals to target -- eliminate our infrastructure deficit by 2034, increase urban density by 10 per cent by 2022, or become the continental leader in civic services cost efficiency per capita by 2022.
Bold goals require diverse, outside-the-box ideas. A freeze on taxes, simplifying permit and zoning applications, spending more on roads, improving accountability are some of the ideas we've heard in 2014, 2010, 2006, 2002. We can do better.
On taxation, we should discuss a fundamental redesign of municipal taxation that ties revenue to economic growth to support Winnipeg's infrastructure needs. Current municipal zoning regulations and codes, rigid and focused on single-zone uses, are a challenge to urban revitalization. A move to character-based development bylaws that code according to desired outcomes, not uses, represents a potential solution. Few will argue with the need to spend more on infrastructure. Strategic, thoughtful ideas such as the completion of the inner-ring route with grade separations to alleviate congestion throughout Winnipeg should be part of the equation, yet the silence is deafening.
Bold ideas can be simple and inexpensive. An online record of councillors' voting history has potential to promote accountability for next to no cost.
These are not panaceas. Our demand for more is not a call for the magic solution.
How do we know all this is possible, or that Winnipeggers are ready for something different? During the past two years, The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce has been spearheading BOLD Winnipeg, a community-driven movement that provides a means to the different result sought. Forums and social media are being used to solicit Winnipeggers' exciting ideas. And Winnipeggers are responding en masse, invigorated by the chance to confidently offer ideas without fear of criticism or ridicule. Some of those ideas you've just read, others will be announced as part of upcoming BOLD Winnipeg campaign.
Critics have called for a stop to the so-called visioning exercises and to focus on the here-and-now issues. We make no apologies for engaging Winnipeg in a process to define daring goals and spur dynamic ideas. All are unapologetically optimistic and refuse to accept the naysayers' book of excuses, which has framed public debate for far too long. If the naysayers had had their way, there would be no floodway. Fortunately, bold thinkers won, saving us a few billion along the way.
On October 22, no matter which candidates emerge victorious, let's demand more and ensure a BOLD Winnipeg carries the day.
Loren Remillard is the vice-president, policy and public affairs at the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce.

COVINGTON — The St. Paul's School boys soccer team has been defying expectations all season, and the Wolves don't intend to stop now.
When fifth-seeded St. Paul's clashes with No. 2 seed Jesuit at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the Division I state championship match at Tad Gormley Stadium, the Wolves will be seeking to upset their third straight higher-seeded opponent.
St. Paul's blanked No. 4 seed Acadiana, 2-0, in the quarterfinals, then toppled top-seeded Lafayette, 1-0, in the semis last weekend.
Oh yeah, and the Wolves are also hungry to avenge their losses to Jesuit in the finals the past two years.
St. Paul's coach Sean Moser said despite his program's steady blossoming into a state power in recent years, the Wolves understand many continue to count them out of serious title consideration. But he added his players continue to simply shrug off such low expectations.
"As far as seedings go, we're a five, they're a two," Moser said. "As far as mentality goes, Jesuit has been there, but we've been kind of the upstart.
"I don't think people gave us much of a chance to win our district, and we went undefeated.Not many people said we'd make it to the finals, but we did. We beat the No. 4 and No. 1 seeds. So the underdog role is fine with us."
That goes for the Wolves themselves, too.
"I guess we're the underdogs, just like normal," senior captain and forward Zach Richard said.
"But we're enjoying going out and showing everyone up. Ranking doesn't mean anything. It's not a good judge of a team's potential."
Added midfielder and senior captain Daniel Garraway about the Wolves' upstart status: "We're fine with it. We've been working hard this whole season, especially since the quarterfinals."
The Wolves' postseason run has been fueled by a defense that hasn't given up a goal in its four playoff games. The St. Paul's backfield will be facing a quick, focused Jesuit attack that led to an emotional win over archrival and No. 3 seed Brother Martin in the semifinals.
"(The Blue Jays) are a very solid, deep team," Moser said. "They've been able to substitute six or seven players a game to keep that level high. They're a quick counter team, and they have a lot of speed up top and in the midfield."
Nevertheless, Moser added, "I see us as two pretty evenly matched teams."
Garraway agreed.
"Jesuit has been playing really good in the playoffs," he said. "It's going to be a close game. Whoever wants the win more will win."
Jesuit coach Hubie Collins said according to the rumors he's heard around the Big Easy, the Wolves are the favorites, so predictions might be in the eye of the beholder.
"The word on the street down here is that St. Paul's thinks they've the favorites," Collins said with a chuckle. "I guess it depends on who you're hearing it from and what you're reading."
Collins said since the teams haven't played each other yet this year, neither club knows exactly what to expect. Each team did scout the other in the semifinals.
"It should make the game more interesting, because the kids will be feeling each other out on the field the first 10 minutes," he said.
Nevertheless, the Blue Jays' coach said his club should be prepared to deal with whatever is throw at them Saturday.
"We've had a good week of practice," Collins said. "We're really focused, really concentrated. Our players are fiercely determined, and we're looking forward to the challenge tonight (Saturday).
The Wolves feel the same way.
"We've really been training all season for this," Richard said. "We've been practicing on the weekends, and we've had a lot of conditioning. We've really come along this year, and we're peaking right now."

Making the switch
A transfer student from Minnesota West Community and Technical College in Worthington, Minnesota, Maddie Rasche explored attending Northwestern after contacting head women's volleyball coach Kyle Van Den Bosch. Interested in joining the team, she enrolled but eventually gave up intercollegiate athletics so she could focus more on her studies. "I think God directed me here through volleyball, but he kept me here for nursing," she says. With future plans of one day returning to school to earn her nurse practitioner license, Maddie is committed to a life of serving others.
Community minded
I love how personal the faculty and staff are in the nursing department. They will do anything for their students to enable them to succeed. While in their classes, you almost feel like one of their kids because they take such an interest in your life. And I've actually come to love the community of Orange City as well. It seems like anywhere I go in town, people remind me that their houses are always open to college students if I ever need anything. It's hard to feel homesick when everyone around you is so open and caring.
Freely expressing faith
My faith has definitely been challenged while I've been at Northwestern. I am Catholic and tend to be more private about my faith. But after attending Northwestern for a year, you get used to opening up about your faith since everyone around you does it so freely. Here, we pray before every class—even in classes that aren't religion courses.
New heights, awesome sights
My favorite spot on campus is the third floor of the DeWitt Learning Commons. At night when you look out the window, you see the whole campus lit up, and it is so beautiful.
Set up for success
The nursing department is truly amazing. Not many schools have fully functioning human patient simulators for students to practice on. They can do everything—even simulate the birthing process! I also appreciate the opportunity to travel abroad for our program; as a nursing student, you're required to go on a medical mission experience to Tanzania or another developing country. And since the department is close-knit, nursing students go through everything together. We all have the same classes, and I am surrounded by a lot of the same people every year. Having this built-in support system really helps take away any anxiety about college.

Star Wars: Battlefront
Review by italiano17
"Live the Saga! Live the Epic Battles!"
Finally, what Star Wars fans have waited for in a videogame since well, 1977. Star Wars: Battlefront is an absolutely amazing game, both single player and multiplayer.
Graphics - 9/10
The graphics in this game look very polished, and are very nice at sometimes. This and the sound really draw you in. This game has a huge immersion factor.
The graphics overall are very good, but it would have been nice to see better textures, particularly on the Endor map.
Sound - 10/10
The sound in this game is some of the best I've ever heard. From the blasters to the score, everything is %100 pure grade A Star Wars, which is great. The score uses classic Star Wars themes from the movies. All the blasters and suck sound great.
Gameplay - 9/10
The gameplay plays like a cross between Brute Force and Halo. Most players will find that a choice of 1st Person or 3rd Person view is a welcome one. The goal of the game is to take control points while eliminating the other team. Basically, Battlefield 1942 Star Wars style. There are over 30 vehicles, including all your favorites. There are 4 different factions - CIS(Trade Federation & Separatists), Clone Army, Rebel Alliance, and of course the Galactic Empire. All have different vehicles, weapons, and troops. Its absolutely astonishing. Add up to 16 players on Xbox Live and you got yourself a winner!
Good points
+graphics & sound
+Xbox live play
+30+ vehicles
Bad points
-occasional textures look plain
-repetitive if you dont have Live
-cant play as a jedi, even though they are in the game
All in all, Star Wars: Battlefront is probably the 2nd greatest Star Wars game ever, right on the Jedi Cloak coattails of Knights of the Old Republic. If you have Xbox Live and you like Star Wars even remotely, its a no brainer: buy it. If you dont have Live, then this is one the games to buy it for. A great game, gets a 9/10.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/9/2013 (1440 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Can someone please explain why Investors Group Field was built with no way for fans to get on and off the field? And how did Winnipeg end up with the only press box in the CFL that is exposed to the elements?
These problems, and other glitches, have been or are being fixed, but the full cost of the overruns are apparently a state secret. The province and city aren't talking, and neither is the Blue Bombers board, or BBB Stadium Inc., the corporate entity created to build the stadium.
All that's known for sure is the facility was supposed to cost $190 million (and not a cent more), but the true cost is $200 million and rising.
The $350,000 cost of enclosing the press box is being covered by corporate sponsors, but the tab for the other repairs is not being disclosed. In fact, no one will even provide a list of the other improvements and repairs that are being planned.
A private company can behave this way, but the Blue Bombers and the stadium are public assets, supported by taxpayers.
The problem with secrecy is it leads to fears that the truth is embarrassing, or worse.
The sealing of lips might be justified if the stadium's building woes are to be the subject of a courtroom battle, but if that's the case, someone should say so.
Otherwise, the managers of the community-owned facility should provide a full accounting, including an answer as to why access to the field for fans was not included in the building plans. And did someone really forget to enclose the press box, or were they not aware a proper media room was a condition for staging the Grey Cup?

WHENBY: Geographical and Historical information from the year 1890.
Wapentake of Bulmer - Electoral Division of Stillington - Poor Law Union, Petty Sessional Division, County Court District, and Rural Deanery of Easingwold - Archdeaconry of Cleveland - Diocese of York.
Whenby is a township, parish, and small village, lying between Sheriff Hutton and Brandsby, and a little to the east of the Howardian Hills. It has an area of 1,041 acres, and a population of 111 souls. The whole estate is the manor of W. H. Garforth, Esq., of Wiganthorpe. The surface is undulating, and the soil generally a rich clay loam. Whenby is a small village, eight miles east of Easingwold.
The church of St. Martin is an ancient stone building in the Early English style of architecture, and has a chancel, north aisle, porch, nave, mortuary chapel, and a fine, lofty tower, containing three bells. It was restored, at a cost of £700, in 1871, when a north aisle of stone was added. The principal entrance is by the north porch, through a handsome Norman doorway. There is a doorway of ancient date, which is generally supposed to have been used for public access to the church, or in connection with the priest's house. The living is a discharged vicarage valued, in the King's Books, at £4 8s. 4d., and now worth £120 a year. The patron is W. H. Garforth, Esq., and the vicar the Rev. John Lascelles, M.A., of Clare College, Cambridge, who was appointed in 1885. He is vicar of Sheriff Hutton, and resides there. He attends here on Sundays at 2 p.m. for service. Tradition says that the unfortunate Lord Derwentwater lived in a house adjoining the church, which was pulled down in the early part of the present century.
Whenby Church of England schools, attended by 50 children, are kept up by subscriptions, government grants, and school fees. There is a charity of £1 a year, left by a person named Bolton, out of land at Dalby - 10s. to be paid to the vicar for preaching a sermon on the 14th January, and the other 10s. to the poor.
Foulrice is a small hamlet in Whenby and Brandsby parishes, one mile west of the former place.

BUENOS AIRES – Many observers have recently declared that the eurozone debt crisis is practically resolved, or at least on hold for a few years. The falling yields at the Italian government's last bond auctions in 2011 suggested a significant reduction in the perceived sovereign-default risk. Since Italian bonds are regarded as the bellwether of the crisis, many interpret this is a sign that the European debt market is normalizing.
The "solution" to the crisis was putatively facilitated by the European Central Bank's decision to lend unlimited funds to commercial banks for three-year terms at very low rates. But a central bank would normally do even more to fulfill its role as lender of last resort. So why all the renewed optimism?
The immediate answer is that national banks will now use the scheme to borrow cheaply from the ECB and invest in short-term sovereign bonds, using the interest-rate spread to create a profitable "sovereign carry trade." Despite the inefficiencies and distortions arising from such monetary financing, the ECB may indeed provide some breathing space for governments.
But the real reason why this otherwise standard policy decision seems like such an important step is that, for the first time, the ECB has recognized the need to address a fundamental flaw in the eurozone's architecture: the ECB itself.

Sabres winger Evander Kane leaves game with leg injury
Buffalo Sabres forward Evander Kane left Saturday's 4–3 loss to the New Jersey Devils with an apparent knee injury.
Kane sustained the injury early in the third period after Devils defenseman David Schemko checked him into the end boards, placing Kane's leg in a tough position. Kane remained on the ice before being helped off. Reports indicated it was his left knee giving him problems. He did not return to the game.
Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said he didn't want to speculate on the injury, and had no immediate postgame update on Kane's status.
After the game, Kane tweeted a thank you to fans for their support.
Will be back ASAP. #sabresfans #thankyou— Evander Kane (@evanderkane_9) October 25, 2015
Kane, 24, missed the majority of last season with the Winnipeg Jets after having shoulder surgery in February. The Sabres acquired him via trade shortly afterward. He was the fourth pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
In the first six games of the season, Kane recorded one goal and two assists.

This Veteran's Day we should remember and thank all those who have bravely served our country and military. We want to especially recognize and honor those of World War II. Why? Because we are rapidly losing them! According to the Veteran's Administration we are losing veterans of WWII at a rate of more than 740 a day.
Beginning 70 years ago, 16 million of America's finest, knowing their country was in peril, shouldered arms and joined the fight to save the world from global dominance by the evil Axis powers.
The magnitude of the challenge before them was enormous. The sacrifices they made were of the highest order. They postponed marriages, deferred college, gave up careers and left loved ones behind, then marched off to fight oppression in foreign countries.
Names like Bataan, Guadalcanal, Midway, Corregidor and Normandy became a part of America's everyday lexicon. Before victory was declared and peace restored, America had suffered over a million wounded and more than 400,000 who gave their full measure of devotion. They lie buried under white crosses and stars in the United States and all around the world.
With the end of hostilities, our GIs laid down their arms and returned home to build the most prosperous nation that has ever existed. They taught us by example the meanings of duty, patriotism and honor.
How do we pay homage to those who gave us so much? We can preserve the things they held so dear. We must teach our children about love of country as we were taught. We must accept responsibility and duty to serve should we be called upon just as they did. We can insist that our nation's government be conducted with dignity and integrity.
Today's all-volunteer warriors fight to rid the world of forces that threaten us, al-Qaida and the Taliban. They've served in places names Baghdad, Fallujah, Kabul and Kandahar. They are some of America's finest, taking up the standard as those of the "Greatest Generation," Korea and Vietnam, relinquish it.
Again, thank you for your service veterans. Today's service men and women can take it from here. They will make you proud.
