John Frieda Precision Foam Colour Reviews
Not bad!In the past I usually have had problem with boxed-hair color because it fried my hair or washed out quickly (even after claiming to be PERMANENT color). My normal hair almost jet black with a hint of dark, dark brown (like in my picture). I used this because I wanted something different. I didn't want to do anything to dramatic, but I wanted a little lightening and warmth in my hair so I opted to ...read moretry the Dark Chocolate Brown. The instructions are easy to read and easy to follow. I do like the concept of foam color because it did seem much easier to apply than the standard squeeze bottle that comes in hair color boxes. My biggest strife was that it took ages to rinse out, even longer than other coloring products. Because my hair is so dark, there wasn't much of a difference in color (very very little lightening from black to the darkest brown), and without the use of a porosity neutralizer (pre color treatment that uses proteins to fill spaces in your hair to give you a more even color), my roots were lighter to the chocolate brown I wanted, but my ends were almost black. In bright light, I could see the golden chocolate shine radiate off my hair, but in normal or low light it is undetectable. Because my hair was naturally dark and I did not pre-lighten it, this had more of a glazing effect than a color effect. For people with lighter hair, you will see better results. As far as coverage goes, this definitely covers better than regular drug store color and you won't be left with patches (as claimed on the box) unless you are seriously wreckless. My hair is a little longer than shoulder length now, but there was adequate product to over saturate my hair like in the instructions. For people with much longer hair (like stomach-length or longer), I would highly suggest buying two boxes if you insist on using this product. — 5 years, 8 months agovolta | 566 reviews

Didn't work for me...I was really excited to try this hair color on my teenage daughter's hair because the foam was supposed to be easier to apply. After coloring her hair with the standard type of color for over a year myself, I know to make sure to get 2 boxes in case we run out. With this, I purchased 1 box. I found the whole foam thing a little complicated and it was not easy for me to apply. I definitely did ...read morenot get an even distribution with the foam. I usually agree with masses on products, but not this one. Maybe it takes practice but that is difficult to do with hair dye. — 5 years, 6 months agopowerwoman033 | 509 reviews

Easy to apply and not smellyI started going gray at a young age, so I've been coloring my hair for a long time. This foaming hair color is so easy to apply, doesn't drip and colors evenly. My husband is thrilled that it doesn't stink up the entire house when I color my hair. It gives me natural looking color and a ton of shine. My hair actually looks like it's in better condition AFTER I color than before. It doesn't gi...read moreve that one tone result that some hair colors do, instead it has real dimension and shine to the color. The deep conditioner that is included is amazing and leaves my hair soft and manageable and there is enough for several uses. I was also very impressed with the gloves provided. It may seem like a minor thing, but the black gloves fit better than the ones included in most boxes of color and are quite a bit thicker. The do a great job of protecting hands. I also found that this color lasts longer than many brands and does a great job of covering grays, just be sure to leave the color on for the added amount of time in the instructions. — 4 years, 7 months agocharliecat31 | 101 reviews

Holy grail at home hair dye!I am shocked to see that this has average stars/reviews! I (almost) always love John Frieda products so when I saw the "Precision Foam Colour" at home hair dye I squealed with delight. I immediately ran out and bought this product. I do have to say that it's a little more expensive than other at home hair dye but it worth its weight in price. I found that no matter how long my hair is it alw...read moreays has enough (and more than enough) dye for my entire head of hair. It has a pleasant scent, I have used way too much box dye and this is one of the only box dyes that I do not mind the scent. The steps to using this product is easy, it is also easy to apply without getting it on everything. You simply add one liquid to another and tilt five times and that's it you are ready to foam dye your hair! The packaging on this product is amazing. It feels very expensive not like the applicator is going to burst. The kit includes the dye, black gloves, and a deep conditioner to add shine. The gloves are great! They are thicker than most that come in box dyes and lend an expensive feel to this at home colour (they are also black which is amazing!) The foam really coats the hair completely and does not drip, so I usually apply this to my whole hair and go about doing housework without being scared that it is going to go everywhere. The foam is deep penetrating really sealing the color in just twenty minutes. I love that it's a foam so it is easy to apply and easy to see where it is going on the hair. I have used different colours from this line including the darkest black, different shades of brown, and, auburn/reds. I have found that for every color my hair is the same color throughout with out it being streaky or a different shade at the root or the ends. I have also found that my hair is never dry after using this dye. It must be the conditioner that comes with it, it really adds a gloss and moisture to the finished hair. It also dyes with a nice base color and multi dimension. I highly urge everyone to try this hair dye kit! If it is your first time this is a great starter to see if at home hair dying is for you! — 4 years, 9 months agorayshaviolet | 245 reviews

great colorI had been wanting to try this despite the $12 price tag. I decided last month to try it. Good decision. There is more than enough of the color foam to color every inch of my long hair. The foam saturates all of my hair. The after color conditioner make my hair look and feel great. The color itself is the color shown on the box and lasts a long time. This is worth every penny. — 5 years, 2 months agoMiss_Vicki | 271 reviews

Foaming haircolorThis is the first foaming hair color I have tried! It is so much easier to use, and is quick to apply. Covered my grays nicely. The only problem I had was that the color came out much darker than I was expecting, I used light golden brown and my hair turned out very dark brown. I am not loving the actual color, but like the way my hair feels (very soft) and that the color is very even. — 6 years agosmiley48 | 204 reviews

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles County is restoring a cross to its official seal, nearly a decade after one was removed from the original design.
County supervisors voted 3-2 on Tuesday to put a cross atop the seal's depiction of the historic San Gabriel Mission.
The original seal had a cross over the Hollywood Bowl but it was removed when the seal was redesigned in 2004 after the ACLU of Southern California threatened legal action.
An image of the mission was added but the building didn't have a cross at the time because it was undergoing earthquake retrofitting.
The cross was reattached in 2009, so two supervisors argued the seal should be adjusted for historical accuracy.
However, the ACLU says putting the religious symbol on the seal is divisive and probably unconstitutional.

Digest — October 2003
By Capt. Patrick Sciacca
King of the Giants
|For five decades one man has fished for giant tuna harder and better than most anyone. And he ain't pullin' lines yet.
Long Islander Oscar Amoroso ventures to New England each year to catch mammoth-size, 130-pound-reel class, turbocharged "footballs" (a.k.a. giant bluefin tuna). He says he's bagged numerous "giant fish" that have topped 1,000 pounds; these are fish that can make grown men cry for their mommies after they've spent some quality time on the grunt-and-groan end of the rod. A guy who does this type of fishing with just one mate onboard a majority of the time, Amoroso could've made Hemingway flinch in a staring contest. And on top that, he's 73 years old.
Having heard about this local legend, I wanted to learn more about him, so I spent a day with Amoroso this past spring aboard his 45-foot Hatteras, Marlin, which he was readying for the giant-tuna season (July through October) out of Gloucester and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. We stood in the cockpit of his still-shrinkwrapped boat with a cold rain pouring down. Amoroso gazed at the falling droplets through the makeshift doorway overlooking the canal of Yachtsmen's Cove Marina in Freeport, New York. He held a burning Marlboro in his tough-looking, weathered left hand, and as the smoke worked its way out the doorway and down the mist-covered canal, he took me on an H.G. Wells-like trip through his fishing past.
"I was fishing fresh water on Long Island before I was a teenager. I'd bend a needle and use oatmeal and dough for bait," he told me, as he illustrated baiting the needle with his hands. But catching carp and sunnies wouldn't hold this angler's interest for too long. Amoroso eventually discovered the fun of spearfishing under a bridge near his Atlantic Beach home, his first taste of saltwater fishing. All he needed was a mask and a snorkel, and he was good to go. But he would soon find out that there were bigger fish to fry.
It was around 1948 when Amoroso found his way onto a boat and learned to fish at the nearby Mudhole, a well-known giant-fish area, several miles off the New Jersey coast and easily accessed by both New York and New Jersey anglers. "We used to fish [giant tuna] here," Amoroso said, adding, "We'd let them go." My ears perked up like a dog recognizing its name. "Let them go?" Then again, these were the golden days of giant fishing, before bluefin flesh commanded a high price at the market. But just as Amoroso's appetite for big-game fishing had been whetted, he joined the Navy and was assigned to Submarine Attack Squadron 24 based out of Norfolk, Virginia. During his Navy tenure, Amoroso said he didn't really fish.(I guess it was a little tough to troll off the back of an aircraft carrier.) But he did have a boat and trolled—sort of.

The victim, later identified by the Santa Clara County medical examiner's office as Leonard Lawrence Acosta, a 58-year-old San Jose resident, was the sole occupant of the truck that police found tipped over on its side shortly after 5 a.m. on the 4200 block of Middlefield, just south of San Antonio Road near the Mountain View border.
Fire Department personnel pronounced the driver dead at the scene, according to the police.
No other vehicles were involved and no other people injured. Police have not determined if drugs or alcohol or a factor in this accident.
The block of Middlefield was closed to traffic Saturday morning as officers from the Palo Alto Police Department's Specialized Traffic Accident Reconstruction team investigated the cause of the accident. All lanes were re-opened as of 1:30 p.m., police said.
Anyone who witnessed the accident is asked to call the department's dispatch center at 650-329-2413. Anonymous tips can be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com or sent by text or voice mail to 650-383-8984.

Bacteremia Battle: How Long to Treat MSSA or MRSA?
Patients with MRSA or MSSA should always be treated for at least 2 weeks with IV antibiotics.
Furuncle Caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Infection
In the current milieu, the clinician should assume that MRSA is responsible for furuncles, until culture proves otherwise. Incision and drainage is the most important part of therapy, but oral antibiotics should be considered in large lesions, very young or very old patients, and when cellulitis surrounds the boil.
Short Cut to Preventing Spread of MRSA
I advise my patients who are carriers of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to keep their fingernails trimmed. Long nails make the subungual spaces good havens for bacteria. S aureus, including MRSA, has been isolated from the subungual spaces of the hands of many at-risk patients who are MRSA carriers
Prevention of Recurrent MRSA Skin Infections: What You Need to Know
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was once considered a strictly nosocomial pathogen. Over the past decade, however, MRSA has emerged as a prominent cause of community-associated infections in both adults and children. Although community-associated MRSA strains occasionally cause severe invasive infections, they are most frequently isolated from patients with skin and soft tissue infections.
Community-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection
A 14-month-old infant was brought by his mother for evaluation of fever (temperature, 39.4ºC [103ºF]) and a tender, indurated, warm area with surrounding edema and a centrally located papule in the left groin.
Treatment of MRSA Infection: Why Cultures Are Key
Dr Thomas Fekete's recent article on emerging infections (CONSULTANT, October 2007) was timely, given recent evidence that the incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, both hospital-acquired and community-acquired, has assumed pandemic proportions.
'Not your father's MRSA': What you need to know -- and do -- about community-associated MRSA
The notoriously adaptable and increasingly common pathogen requires a new approach including routine I&D and culturing of infected tissues; the use of more-potent antibiotics, but only when needed; and a focus on hygiene in patients with recurrent infections.

As I think about Michael Jackson, I am listening to John Legend sing "Green Light", and thinking about Black men, music and movement. It seems redundant to add my thought to the many that have chimed in about the death of the icon of pop music, and at the same time, it seems so very necessary to offer the public wish that Michael Jackson has finally found peace. Without knowing the man (in the mirror) at all, my observation is that peace eluded Michael Jackson. He changed his appearance, lightened his skin, engaged in public drama, and apparently earned and lost a fortune. And, maintained a spirit of innocence and a soul of service. Wow!
Certainly Jackson's family drama, often publicly disclosed, led to some of his angst. How much more of the drama was fueled by the context of our nation's racism? Why did he feel compelled to get lighter, lighter, lighter? To get his nose thinner, thinner, thinner? Where did that compulsion come from? It could not have been completely internal, something he simply decided on. To what extent did the signals that all of us, Black folk (I'm not going African American right now – just Black folk), get take hold of his brain and drive some of his decisions?
Did Michael Jackson feel that he needed to buffer his success by looking like what he thought success ought to be – whiter, thinner nose, all that? I'm not trying to get into his head, just raise a question for a group of people who are being asked to reject themselves, even with the cries of "get over it" on slavery, with the call for race neutrality. There is no such thing as being race neutral. You are who you are. Nothing wrong with it. Just embrace it. At this moment, embrace it in the name of Michael Jackson.
Every Fourth of July I read Frederick Douglas' "The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro" just to remind myself of who I am and where I come from. Rarely will I engage myself in the festivities of the day, the patriotic flag-waving, the consumption of grilled meats, the gatherings. I generally read to anyone who will listen – "your freedom is not my freedom, your justice is not my justice, you may rejoice, I must mourn." I read this to others to the point of irritation. Indeed, I have friends and colleagues who will not return my calls on July 4, understanding that they are about to be read to.
I wonder if I will engage in the ritual this year – I haven't decided. It somehow seems petulant to hold to this tradition with an African American President in the White House. Part of me actually longs to put my hand over my heart (it won't happen) and sing about "the land of the free and the home of the brave". My lyric has been "the land of the thief and the home of the slave". Is it time to let it go? To embrace that which is good in our country? To shrug off the shackles of oppression in order to embrace the possibilities of a new and exciting America?
If only a shrug of the shoulders could accomplish so much. I bet that Michael Jackson would have, if he could have, shrugged off the images of success that pushed him into transforming his appearance so drastically. I bet he would have, if he could have, shrugged off all his demons so that he could simply, freely, moonwalk his way across a stage and across his life. I bet he would have chosen peace instead of the turmoil we all witnessed.
The concert tour that Jackson was about to embark on was seen by most as a way for him to earn some money and pay some bills. Might it also have been a cry for peace, for rapprochement, a harkening for a simpler time when Michael Jackson was a performer, an pop icon, not a lightning rod for controversy? I would like to think that Michael Jackson found peace on stage and that his concert tour was a step toward peace. His death suggests that he has moonwalked to peace in another way. Let me add my voice to the many asking for moments of silence and commemoration. Peace, be still, for Michael Jackson, and for all of us.

When I attended the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month, I shot photos exclusively with my new iPhone.
I took pictures of some of the people I interviewed and of some of the products I saw for blog posts and to send to Twitter. And I used it to shoot photos of the sights of Vegas to share with my wife and kids.
Thanks to my smartphone, I didn't have to lug around a separate camera. From the device itself, I could email photos or send them to the blog without having to upload them to my PC first. And in some cases, I edited the pictures directly on my phone before sharing or uploading them.
I've long been a fan of using a smartphone for my camera. I love using programs like Hipstamatic to take retro-looking shots, and love how quickly I can share pictures with family and friends using the Facebook and Twitter apps or the Photo Stream feature.
So I'm well aware of the advantages of smartphones as cameras. But I won't be getting rid of my digital cameras any time soon. In fact, I'm in the market for another one.
I purchased two cameras for Christmas in 2011, a point-and-shoot for my son and a digital SLR for my wife. The cameras replaced two older ones that we'd used for years.
Since then, we've taken literally thousands of pictures with our new cameras. We've used them on family vacations. We've used them at our kids' school functions. And we've used them at family events.
As much as I like my iPhone's camera, I often put it aside when I want to record moments for posterity. Instead, I still lug around my wife's heavy DSLR, a Canon Eos 60D, when we go hiking. And I'd often take along my son's camera too — until recently, when the camera was stolen. Since then, my son and I have both missed having it.
His camera, a Sony Cyber-shot, was a great little device. It was nearly as small as my iPhone, so it was easy to carry around. It's pictures weren't as good as those I'd take on my wife's 60D, but they were better than what I could take on my iPhone. Unlike the iPhone, the Sony had a five-times optical zoom.
The Sony was more versatile than our 60D. My wife and I haven't yet invested in a collection of lenses for the 60D, and the one we typically use doesn't have wide-angle view. So it can be hard to capture a group of people, say, or a panorama. For those shots, I reached for my son's Sony.
Now I'm shopping for a replacement for that camera. Sony no longer makes the model that was stolen, but I have a lot of options.
At Best Buy, I found numerous models that, like my son's camera, are ultra-slim and priced under $200. Sony has a model similar to my son's that, for about $180, has a 10-times optical zoom.
But I'm intrigued by some of the newer camera options. Samsung, for example, offers a camera for the same price as the Sony that has a built-in Wi-Fi radio. That would make it easy for me to share photos without having to first upload them to my computer, or allow me to transfer them to my computer without having to remove the card from the camera.
I'm also interested in checking out some of the new Android-based cameras. I'm not sure I need to have a full operating system, but I like the idea of being able to shoot and edit with the same apps I use on smartphones.
Regardless what I ultimately choose, you better believe I'll be buying another camera. Because as much as I like and appreciate taking pictures on my iPhone, it doesn't beat having a stand-alone camera.

Hi, my name is Helen. About a year ago, I began collapsing randomly. After several tests and multiple diagnoses, my EEG tested positive for epilepsy. My seizures are specifically triggered by stress, and I also have physical triggers such as strobe lights and rapid/irregular heartbeat. Over the past year, my episodes have significantly affected my life. I can strongly say I'm worried about what the future may hold. I'm only 17 years old, and I'm scared. I do not know anyone personally that has my diagnosis, hence my reaching out to this website. I've recently been having memory loss and severe headaches. I am on 200 MG of Lamotrigine a day.
Any advice/support is welcomed and appreciated.

Choosing the right proteins at the right times of the day can maximize your weight loss and help ensure you lose fat and build muscle. Common protein supplements include whey, casein (milk), egg and soy. We are now learning protein quality is just as important as quantity in determining the effects on thermogenesis, protein synthesis, and protein degradation. Here is what we know.
Protein is the Most Thermogenic
Best Protein for Thermogenesis
In one study comparing high protein meals to high carbohydrate meals fed over a 9-hour period, it was found the thermic effect of protein was 10% of calories and only 6% for carbohydrate. That means if you ate a 500 calorie meal, the one rich in protein would result in 50 calories given off to heat, where the one rich in carbohydrates would result in only 20 calories given off to heat. Although few studies have specifically examined the effects of different protein supplements, whey protein would be predicted to have the greatest thermic effect because it stimulates protein synthesis, an expensive energy consuming process.

Has anyone here run multiple installations of Apache Web server on multiple ports, but using the same IP?
I need to install Apache 2.2 on a CentOS 4.2 box. It already has Apache 2.0 installed as part of CentOS default installation package. For some reason (mostly non-technical), I cannot touch the existing Apache, so my only choice is to install my own Apache.
I plan to use port other than 80, and access my website using my own specified port. However, I need to use the same hostname (same IP). My Apache will have its own prefix, and its own httpd.conf. Both my Apache and the existing one should run "side-by-side" --I'm not allowed to stop the existing Apache while my own is running.
It seems to be possible to do the things above. However, it is something I've never done before. Port and prefix aside, is there anything else I should keep my eyes on? Any advices and/or warnings?

Boeing still believes that the KC-767 is the right-size airplane to meet the KC-X tanker requirement, despite the U.S. Air Force's selection of the larger Airbus A330MRTT, now voided. "I'm not convinced that they want a bigger airplane," Chris Chadwick, president of Boeing Military Aircraft told AIN as the show opened. But, he added, "we do have options to bid a bigger airplane if the RFP [request for proposals] is modified substantially. We'll just have to wait and see."
Last Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates reopened the bidding process for the tanker contract and directed his own office to run the competition rather than the Air Force. His move came three weeks after the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that the USAF had improperly conducted part of the previous evaluation that led to the selection of the KC-45, a version of the A330MRTT proposed by Northrop Grumman.
While acknowledging that the GAO had raised "significant issues," Gates noted that only eight of the more than 100 points raised by Boeing in protest had been sustained. "I would not conclude that the underlying Air Force acquisition system is fatally flawed," added Michael Donley, the newly nominated Secretary of the Air Force. However, the new competition will be run directly by the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, John Young.
Gates noted that his decision "does not represent a return to the first steps of a process that has already gone on far too long. If we limit the change, and industry is cooperative, we may be able to do it in six months," Young told a Congressional committee last Thursday. He confirmed that the RFP will be amended to reflect the GAO's eight specific findings. He said that the Pentagon would do a better job this time of spelling out to Boeing and Northrop Grumman what it required. The new draft RFP would be released in late July and early August, he said.
Notwithstanding Young's assurances, Boeing remained unconvinced. "We remain concerned that a renewed RFP may include changes that significantly alter the selection criteria as set forth in the original solicitation," the company said.
For its part, Northrop Grumman said simply, "the U.S. Air Force has already picked the best tanker, and we are confident that it will do so again."

As of this morning, the reported death toll just rose to 44,000.
For anyone making jokes about this, shame on you.
If this is an indication of the maturity level of the members of this board, I don't think I'll be coming back here any time soon.
That's all I have to say.
See yas. If you are gonna leave every message board/forum/room because of some off colored joke or comment, I would advise you to cancel your internet connection now and save that money. I'm on boards where their are way worse things said than this. All you can do is either leave, or ignore them. Anyway we all know that ppl sometimes joke about things that make them highly uncomfortable as a way to cope. And some ppl are just asshats. what ever.

The sun is warm. The wind is cool. My head hurts...just a little. The aftereffects of the previous night's New Year's celebration are slowing working their way through my system. As always, I stick my preferred method of curing a hangover: running.
I'm not really that uncomfortable; just tired and achy enough to make the run a little less pleasant. That's ok. It reminds me I'm alive. A 30 minute easy run in 57 degree weather-on January 1st-provides for a pretty good opportunity to think about things.
2013 began in, well, not the best circumstances. I was unhappy. I had no job. I had a few friends, but not many. I was bored, I was losing faith in my career path and I was struggling to run more than about 20 miles a week without hurting myself.
I won't go into extreme detail about the course of the previous year. I didn't run many races. In fact, now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure I didn't run any. Not a single one. I'm not proud of that, but I'm ok with it. Here's why:
2014 is going to be the year. It's going to be the year that I start racing again. It's going to be the year that I return to the marathon, and the year that I drop my PR by at least 30 minutes. It's the year I'm going to take my career to a new level. It's the year I'm going to deepen existing friendships and continue forming new ones, the year I get to know the people who matter to me on a truly higher level. It's the year I'm going to break through the plateau in my Chinese and finally get to the point where I feel like I'm making major progress. It's the year I begin to truly integrate into my new home, and start to feel like less of a foreigner and more of just that guy who lives in apartment 305.
Most of all, however, 2014 is the year I'm going to throw myself out there, embrace the things I'm afraid of, and tackle challenges that one year ago I may have entirely dismissed simply because I thought they were hard. This year I'm going to challenge my own definition of the word impossible.
Happy New Year everybody.

Steeton and Oxenhope have been told they must have back-up plans to get their West Riding County FA Challenge Cup tie on this Saturday.
Their much-delayed fourth-round clash was postponed for a fourth time last week due to a waterlogged pitch at Summerhill Lane.
The eagerly-anticipated derby is the only last-16 game to be completed, with one quarter-final having also already taken place.
Hopes are high that the rival clash will finally get the green light at Steeton's ground on Saturday (1pm) but Chevrons boss Roy Mason said contingency plans would be in place if more bad weather prevents them from staging it.
"Everybody is massively hopeful that the game will go ahead at our ground on Saturday," said Mason.
"We have invested quite a bit of money in getting the pitch spiked and sanded.
"It was pretty touch and go last week and we were pretty close to getting it on."
A drier start to the week has encouraged hopes but more rain fell yesterday and forecasts remain mixed.
Mason said the club had been told by the county FA to look at other options to ensure the tie is finally played but hopes to avoid playing on an artificial surface.
Switching the game to Oxenhope's regular pitch at Marley would be the first alternative.
The Steeton boss said: "Ideally it will be on grass. The ball doesn't have the same bounce on an artificial pitch and you tend to have to nick the ball in the tackle. There could be safety concerns if it is a full-blooded derby.
"If the weather did take a turn for the worse then that (an artificial pitch) might be the only option.
"But we are really hopeful we can get the game on at Steeton."
"We've had some flak from certain quarters in not getting the game on but massive credit is due to our groundstaff for working overtime to try and get it on.
"I just hope the momentum of the tie is not lost and we can attract a big crowd."
If an artificial pitch is needed, either University Academy Keighley or Marley would be the likely venue. Steeton played Barnoldswick at the former and Oxenhope took on Silsden at the latter in friendlies last week as clubs looked to keep their squads active.
Mason added that updates will be on the club's social media sites on the day to confirm where the match will be played.
Silsden Reserves are due to try again in their County Cup quarter-final at West Riding Ovenden on Saturday after their match was posponed last week.
Silsden first team are due to visit Runcorn Town at the weekend after their home match was washed out versus Abbey Hey.

National Australia Bank has painted a bleak outlook for the Australian economy and warned that additional provisions might be required for its troubled UK operations, as it lifted its cash earnings by 8.5 per cent to $3.15 billion in the six months ended March 31, just missing expectations.
Australia's fourth-largest bank boosted its interim dividend by 6¢ to 99¢, just ahead of expectations for a 98¢ dividend.
The result is the last to be delivered by chief executive Cameron Clyne, who will be replaced by Andrew Thorburn in the coming months. Mr Clyne has spent much of his tenure attempting to clean up NAB's legacy issues, including its disastrous foray into the UK.
Mr Clyne said he was pleased with the improvement in the performance of the UK businesses, which was restructured in 2012; UK banking cash earnings rose 121 per cent on the March 2013 half year.
However, conduct-related costs for the period – which largely relate to the mis-selling of payment protection insurance – totalled £128 million, and the bank said: "There remains a wide range of uncertain factors relevant to determining the total costs associated with conduct related matters and there is risk that additional provisions will be required."
Cash earnings in the UK commercial real estate run-off portfolio improved in the half year to a loss of £7 million, compared to a £149 million loss in the March 2013 half on lower bad debts, and NAB said it will "continue to look at options to accelerate that progress".
In the Australian business, the Australian Banking division's cash earnings were $2.47 billion, up 1 per cent on the March half last year. These are the first results reported under the new operating structure for our Australian businesses; Australian Banking includes the previous business, personal and wholesale divisions, along with the private bank. NAB said home lending grew by 5.8 per cent.
Earnings at NAB Wealth, which includes MLC, were flat.
The group net interest margin was 1.94 per cent, down 9 basis points on the March 2013 half year, which NAB said was the product of competition and it holding more liquid assets.
Bad and doubtful debts charged fell 52 per cent from the previous corresponding period to $528 million. Earnings per share increased 16.1 per cent to 16.7¢.
The return on equity was flat at 14.6 per cent. The common equity tier 1 capital ratio improved by 42 basis points to 8.64 per cent.
In commentary on the Australia economy, NAB pointed to a "mood of greater caution among households", which it described as another headwind slowing the growth in domestic demand. While the low interest rate environment would likely boost housing construction and consumer spending in 2014, "the prospective fall in mining investment throughout 2014 and 2015 appears too significant to be offset by sufficient spending in other sectors".
Slower growth in domestic spending will flow into labour market conditions, driving the unemployment rate up to 6.5 per cent by the end of 2014, NAB said.

A little over a year ago, the distinguished gentlemen from Texas, Joe Barton, proved himself an ass with an attempt to use the presence of oil in Alaska to prove that the Earth had been warmer IPSO FACTO Global Climate Change is a filthy commie lie. And we all had a good laugh, because he's an idiot.
Well, ol' Joe has stepped up to the plate with yet another complete asshole move: he apologized to BP for the government "shake-down" related to the colossal environmental Apocalypse proceeding down Gulf-a-ways. Because, of course, holding companies responsible for their disastrous mistakes and expecting them to behave in a responsible manner is simply un-American. Pretty awesome, Joe! Here's a short clip of the current favorite for "oily sycophant of the year award":
And hell, when even John Boehner thinks that you maybe stepped over the line a little, then man, you've really screwed the pooch!

What's telling about this is how the Republican establishment reacted knowing it was a gaffe ... the majority of them agree w/ Barton but they know actually admitting that to the American people is out of step. They prefer to keep their corporate welfare plans a secret.

For those of us with food allergies, the holidays can be stressful and frustrating and leave you feeling, well, left out. When everyone else is chowing down on cookies and cupcakes and goodies aplenty, those of us with food allergies are left wondering where we can fit in. And for those of us with kids with food allergies, we feel the weight doubled as we don't want them to miss out on any of life's joys. I rounded up 10 great recipes and ideas for Valentine's Day treats for kids with a wheat allergy. These look so delicious that they are sure to ease any feelings of being left out of the fun…
10 Tasty Gluten Free Treats Full of Love
Click through for 10 great recipes and ideas for Valentines Day treats for kids with allergies to gluten and wheat!

If working with children especially, you will first want to loosen the soil in the planting area and perhaps add additional planting soil. It's important to make the soil loose for small hands to dig, and double check that you don't have a layer of hard clay below a thin layer of topsoil.
It's possible that you can do this activity in container gardens on an apartment balcony if you don't have access to a yard. To do that, you'll need to purchase some large containers and research best practices of container gardening. If you don't have a yard, you could also ask your local nature center or park if you could plant in a small bed there.
This is a great activity for a birthday party or as a family event. You can encourage each guest to bring a plant as their gift to the birthday person.
Also, if you are looking for inspiration, here are 16 tips for gardening with kids.
For spring birthdays, you can plant almost any kind of plant because the growing season is just starting.
For summer birthdays, choose plants that will keep their petals in the heat.
For fall birthdays, choose something like chrysanthemums that are hardy as the temperatures cool.
If planting with children, kid-friendly plants tend to be marigolds or zinnias for full sun, or impatiens for partial shade. These plants can stand up to some handling and have big blossums.
Learn about native plants for your region.
If you'd like, you can make wooden signs from scrap wood and paint sticks. The guests can decorate these signs with birthday messages.
To make the sign, find a small piece of scrap wood. We used the bottom from an old clementine box. We taped on paint sticks with duct tape to make the signs stand up.
When the guests arrive, have them decorate their sticks with their names on one side, and the name of their plant on the other side. Use waterproof markers so the names stay after you water the plants. If working with small children, put a protective smock on their clothing to protect from the permanent markers.
If working with small children, you might write "Happy Birthday" on the sign and have them color it in, or ask an older child to take charge of this task.
They might put their name stick in place to "claim" their spot.
Then hand out the spades and have kids dig a hole as big as the plant's root ball. If they can sit the pot in the hole, it's big enough.
Encourage safety by reminding kids to pile their dirt near their hole, not flinging it across the area.
Streamers or ornaments liven up the area.
You can also hang yarn nearby and have each person write a special birthday note to the birthday person.
What a colorful birthday!
You can also start a tradition of measuring everyone's height on the fence near the garden. Next year when you plant again, you can measure how everyone has grown!

One of the members here failed in completing some trades. The negative feedback was left and fortunately most of those trades were finally completed.
I've always liked DGR's forum because by and large there weren't personal attacks or flaming. Unfortunately it appears this thread has turned into a mudslinging flamefest.
I personally don't have a problem with anyone here and think everyone should feel welcome to express themselves here as long as it is done in good taste. My posts directed at Bagger's comments were meant as humorous ribbing which I believe he walked into.
I think we should move on now and the past three pages should be deleted since most of it had nothing to do with what the thread was designed for.
And Bagger, I hope you continue to participate I'm sure you're a good guy trying to defend your friend that I admit was enduring more personal attacks than he deserved.
Everyone, I would suggest if you need to submit negative feedback do it professionally and refrain from the flaming attacks.
I hate censorship of any kind

Mynah's Berutti on Simulation and Training
Martin Berutti, of Mynah Technologies, spoke with Control's executive editor, Jim Montague, about how the current state of the simulation/training field and how it's likely to evolve in the future. They also covered what end users need to know to implement a simulation/training program for their process applications, and what should be on any to-do list to get a simulation/training project up and running.
Podcast – Virtual Reality Simulation in the Process Industries
In the April edition of the Control/ARC Podcast series, Walt Boyes and ARC's Tom Fiske take a look at what was until only very recently science fiction, and has now become science fact-- the future of high fidelity virtual reality simulation in the process industries.
Warehouse Robotics
Discrete automation simulations have much better graphics than process modeling, probably because it's important to see what the equipment is actually doing. This video is a Simcad simulation of proposed changes to a 300,000-sq ft warehouse. In the video, you can see simulated robots, AGVs and people scurrying around the floor of the warehouse.
Speed Racer
In the new iRacing racing simulator, the builders laser-scanned each racetrack to replicate the personality, eccentricities and challenges of the track with mathematical precision. This video from Grassroots Motorsports magazine, shows a driver running an iRacing simulation,and explains how the simulation was done.
The China Syndrome
This video from Longwatch that would have saved Jack Godell's life. In the simulation, the HMI screen first shows normal operation. Then an alarm goes off, and the video switches to a "live" camera in the pump room. We watch as the pump shakes itself apart and falls to the floor.
Helicopter Controls
See the online continuation of this story for the solution to control problems in a helicopter control system involving three interacting PID controllers. Engineers used LabView to put the data into the simulator, create a model and run tests. The simulated control had 10 times better response than the helicopter's standard control system, and the final control algorithms in the simulator could be loaded directly into the helicopter controller.
Getting Real About Simulation
Emerging and eye-popping 3-D graphics and virtual reality technology are giving plenty of game to process control testing and training simulators integrated with offline process control systems.
The Gaming of Modeling and Simulation
Tomorrow's Control Engineers Are Playing Today's Computer Games, with Their Realistic Simulations. Will Tomorrow's Process Simulators and Modeling Software Adopt Game Technology?
First-Principle Versus Data-Driven Models
Cost and the Time and Skill Required to Develop an Application-Specific Model have Been Barriers to Using First-Principle Modeling Tools
The FAT Is the Problem
End users need to revisit their expectations of the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and accept that not every loop needs to be tested in order to implement a successful fieldbus project.
Process Simulators Aren't Just for Training
From design to startup and beyond, operator training simulators certainly appear to be worth all the trouble, especially since they can save time and money throughout a process plant's entire lifecycle.
CP: Simulation Gets a New Dynamic
Efforts aim to boost the use of dynamic models by process and control engineers.
Process Simulation: Your Job Is Still Safe…For Now
Armed with a CAD package and simulation software, a single engineer can design the product, plant, and control system. Check out why the concept of a one-person design team is still a goal for the future.
Faking It Isn't All Bad
Simulate or model your loop tuning, operator training, advanced process control or optimization for savings, safety and skill-building.
Process Hero
Simulation Software Rocks for Training, but Its Benefits Go Way Beyond Teaching to Aiding Design, Optimization, Maintenance and Life-Cycle Management. Here's How.

As of July 29, nearly 60 percent of California is considered in exceptional drought, the highest level of drought reported by the Drought Monitor report. This is significantly higher than the 37 percent reported last week.
The drought has made a tremendous impact on California's water reservoirs, where storage stands at 60 percent of the historical average. The state is now short more than one year's worth of reservoir water, or 11.6 million acre-feet, for this time of year.
Both rural and urban Californians are desperate for a wetter weather pattern; however, relief doesn't appear to be coming anytime soon. Earlier this week, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology announced Pacific Ocean temperatures have eased and an El Niño event, originally forecast for later this year, could be pushed back to the spring – if it comes at all.
"While the chance of an El Niño in 2014 has clearly eased, warmer-than-average waters persist in parts of the tropical Pacific, and the slight majority of climate models suggest El Niño remains likely for spring," the Australian Bureau of Meteorology said in an emailed statement in this Reuters article.
American federal forecasters are slated to release their updated El Niño forecast in early August.
El Niño was originally hailed as California's saving grace from the grips of the drought, but a recent report on the staggering cost of California's drought warned that even if El Niño did arrive, it would likely fail to bring enough moisture to quench the drought.
"Statistically, the drought is likely to continue through 2015 – regardless of El Niño conditions," the report said. "A continued drought also increases the vulnerability of agriculture, as urban users with largely adequate supplies in 2014 will likely buy water from agricultural areas."
So far, the drought has cost the state's agricultural industry more than $2 billion and will put some 17,000 agricultural workers out of a job by the end of the year. Read, "Drought costs California's ag industry $2.2 billion."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were rising Thursday as weekly initial jobless claims dipped slightly from the prior week, and the European Central Bank left rates unchanged. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were up 3 points, or 0.02%, at 13,931. Futures for the S&P 500 were adding 2 points, or 0.10%, to 1508. Nasdaq futures were tacking on 9 points, or 0.32% with a fair value of 2746. The Labor Department said initial jobless claims for the week of Jan. 26 printed at 366,000, down 5,000 from the prior week's claims. The four-week moving average was 350,000, down 2,250 from the previous tally. Economists expected claims to print at about 360,000. Investors have continued to monitor initial jobless claims and other labor market indicators as the Federal Reserve has closely pegged its policy of low interest rates to a target 6.5% unemployment rate. Anything that hits that threshold, the central bank has said, would trigger the Fed to begin raising interest rates. It has also said it would make such a move if inflation rose to at least 2.5%. Chicago Fed Reserve President Charles Evans spoke Thursday morning in an interview with CNBC and said that quantitative easing may need to continue for the whole year. Evans said he was optimistic that economic momentum would pick up in 2013. Evans has been one of the biggest policy-making supporters for the Fed's unemployment rate target. His comments could also send waves through markets as traders continue to determine whether the Fed will stick with its highly accommodative monetary policy for the long term. Stocks closed mixed on Wednesday following a huge rally on the Nikkei in Japan as concerns over political strife in Spain and Italy weighed on investors' outlook for economic stability in the eurozone. The Labor Department reported nonfarm business productivity dipped 1.3% in the fourth quarter of 2012. The number was higher than the 1.3% decrease a consensus among economists had expected. The report comes a week after a surprise 0.1% contraction in gross domestic product that was reported last Wednesday. The FTSE 100 in London was shedding 0.36%, but the DAX in Germany was climbing 0.58% ahead of the ECB's policy announcement.

Dear friends,
As an engineer, I feel better having technical procedures on my workplace rather than a shrine, so I have prepared this flowchart.
It requires a good understanding of the meaning of AND/OR logic gates

Focus on the Collection: Expressionist Landscapes
October 14, 2011–January 15, 2012
Focus on the Collection: Expressionist Landscape
brings together a dozen drawings and prints dating from 1907 to 1928 that highlight a bold new treatment of landscape in the graphic arts. Included in the exhibition are pastel, watercolor and ink drawings, etchings, drypoints, lithographs, and a woodcut. In the early decades of the 20th century, German Expressionist artists espoused a new approach to art that was personal and confrontational, making a radical break from tradition. The featured artists—Max Beckmann, Lovis Corinth, Otto Dix, Erich Heckel, Otto Müller, and Emil Nolde—were of different backgrounds and generations, but shared an intense subjectivity toward their surroundings that is apparent in their art. World War I broke the momentum of the original Expressionist movements, yet the artists' commitment to graphic media remained a constant, as did their chosen subject matter, which included the urban scenes and pastoral landscapes on view in this exhibition.
Curated by Elizabeth Wyckoff, curator of prints, drawings, and photographs, with Anne Jost-Fritz, Research Assistant,
Focus on the Collection: Expressionist Landscape
will be on view from October 14, 2011 through January 15, 2012 in Gallery 321.
The Museum's collection includes over 14,000 prints, drawings, and photographs, which are exhibited on a rotating basis, as in this series of "Focus on the Collection" exhibitions. Works on paper may also be viewed by appointment in the recently reopened
Study Room for Prints, Drawings, and Photographs
on the fourth floor of the Cass Gilbert building.

Morning Es Trading
Monday's Market Review
Surging Spanish and Italian bond yields were the most frequently stated reason for Monday's widespread weakness, but let's not kid ourselves. The nearly uninterrupted advance in equity prices since the start of the year had left both short- and longer-term traders more than a little uncomfortable. Participants were practically begging for a reason to cut their long exposure, and overnight weakness in the European indices simply provided them with an excuse....682 more words left in this article.

text: Greenbrier's long and windless road By Doug Smock June 30, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- LET'S SEE ... Greenbrier owner Jim Justice has brought in some of the world's best golfers, even Tiger Woods for a truncated week.His efforts have brought 40,000-plus fans to The Greenbrier resort's Old White TPC course for some rounds, and up to 60,000 for the Greenbrier Classic Concert Series.The state of West Virginia, in all its summer splendor, has been displayed to golf fans across the nation - a nice demographic for drawing visitors and their spare cash.But there is one item nobody can bring to the course: wind. I mean, Justice blows a little hot air here and there, but even he can't steer a gap-wedge approach off line.A sustained wind can, and I witnessed as much four weeks ago at the Memorial Tournament. In the third round, a swirling wind gusted to 35 mph at times, leaving the PGA Tour's best players dazed and confused. Only six of 73 broke 70.I mean, when the wind blows in your face one way, the treetops another and the flagstick a third direction - how do you handle that?"It's a lot different," said Ted Potter Jr., the 2012 Greenbrier champ who missed the cut in Ohio. "You've got to really figure out the forecast for the day, and figure out where the wind's coming from. It swirls out there a lot when it gets up to 10, 15 mph. Basically, you're looking at the compass drawn on your yardage book, looking where [the wind] is at and trying to play for it."As long as you don't catch a swirl, you can hit a good shot, but sometimes it starts swirling and it's tough to guess right."In all likelihood, we won't see such difficulty. It's the first week in July, when wind almost doesn't exist in this part of the world. (Let's forget the 2012 super-derecho here. Please.)James Clark of the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, Va., confirms as much. July is the second-calmest month, only trailing the dog days of August. Poring over records from the Lewisburg airport, he found sustained winds of greater than 12 mph just 2.3 percent of the time - mostly in or near thunderstorms. Winds ranged from 5 to 13 mph about 50 percent of the time, and were calm 32 percent.In January, winds are higher, with 15-20 mph readings observed about 6.5 percent of the time and calm winds much more uncommon. Of course, you're not playing golf in the snow-covered Greenbrier Valley.At the Classic, those with morning tee times must capitalize and usually do. In the first two rounds, averages go about a stroke lower in the morning wave, as players enjoy still air and dew-moistened greens.I do recall one day of a sudden dust-up, the third round of the 2011 Classic. Saturday is usually the easiest day, and the first 43 golfers that round scored a combined 53 under par. But a stiff, persistent breeze brewed under suddenly cloudy skies, and the final 32 golfers went 2 over.But wind isn't a big factor in this tournament, generally. nnAn eyebrow-raising revelation from a few pros: This tournament is played at elevation, and it makes a difference.That seemed to come out a little more last year, as Tiger Woods described his adjustment (or lack of) to the Old White TPC. That sent the media, particularly those whose mission is to merely to chase Tiger, scurrying to figure out just how high the course is above sea level.A trip to Google Earth tells the story: The high Alleghenies immediately surrounding the Greenbrier property top out at 2,500-3,000 feet, and they seem to be higher. They tower over the course to provide scenery you won't find at the Tour's other Eastern stops.Down on the course, the elevation ranges from 1,800 feet at the creek near the 15th tee to 1,900 feet on the No. 6 tee, at the course's northeast corner. That's high enough to ensure the Greenbrier Valley has legitimate winters, and usually allows for cooler summer weather than we have in Charleston.But what is the practical effect for the Tour pros? The plus side is easy: Those sluggers can spank the ball off the tee even farther. Still, they aren't used to it. With only three Tour venues at higher elevation - Reno, Las Vegas and the mountains near Tucson - most competitors haven't played at any elevation since at least February.Club selection becomes difficult, as mental distance charts must change. I have heard a lot of golfers remark about many approaches being "between clubs," not easy to judge.And then there is putting, believe it or not. Woods brought up the additional challenge of "putting into the mountain" as a variable.To which I thought, "Which mountain?"nnFinally, the weather will be more seasonable this week. Greenbrier County is generally 5-10 degrees cooler than Charleston, and that will be the case. You won't sweat out the 97 degrees of last year's final round.Not even close. We're looking at highs in the upper 70s, maybe 80, but with a price: a 40-to-50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms each day.After last year, I'll take that. And an umbrella.Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.
