text: MaryAnn Evenson of Waconia, formerly of Thief River Falls, passed away on Oct. 19, 2012 at the McKenna Crossing Assisted Living Center in Prior Lake, Minn., at age 91. MaryAnn was born to William N. and Anna L. Hartmann Gietzen of Glen Ullin, N.D., on Nov. 14, 1920. She was married to Erving Evenson on April 5, 1948, and the couple farmed in Polk Center Township, Pennington County, Minn., until his death in 1998, at which time she moved to Waconia, Minn. MaryAnn graduated from Glen Ullin High School and attended the North Dakota School for the Deaf at Devils Lake, North Dakota and the College of Commerce in St. Paul, Minn. Following graduation from college, she worked as a medical lab technician in Minneapolis.

Topic: Can't get a "diagnosis"
Hi everyone,
I have been scanning this site for a week or two and finally requested to join and got approved. It was very interesting to me to see Danielle113's post as it is VERY similar to mine. My situation is that my dad had a fall in Nov. and they did a body scan to see if he had any internal bleeding or to try and figure out why he fell (he has a history of heart disease and stroke). Luckily he was fine from the fall but they found this "area" that they thought was a mass. They did an MRCP, an EUS and an ERCP. All the tests show a dialation of the bile duct but no test is conclusive for cancer. The doctors say that they show "abnormal cells", "suspicious cells" "cells that appear to be cancer or malignent" but they won't label him as HAVING cancer. In the meantime, although he was perfectly fine before the fall, he now has bleeding which they can't find the source of and has required two transfusions, nauseau and vomiting, weight loss and fatigue. We are now going to Jefferson Hospital in PA for a SpyCam. I've done enough research to know that if this is CC, then his chances are not good since surgery/transplant are probably not an option for him due to his numerous other health issues, but what I am most upset about is not being able to get a diagnosis! Is this normal? Is there something else I should be pursuing? Is this Y-90 treatment showing any impact? Thank you all in advance for your help and information.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were pointing to a lower open for Wall Street Tuesday. Asian shares finished with gains as the yen weakened. Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 1.3% to close at 10,936.14. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.1%. European stocks were trading mostly lower. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Monday that the central bank's bond buying is providing crucial support for the U.S. economy, suggesting it will continue even though some Fed officials recently said they favor winding down the program.
The economic calendar in the U.S. Tuesday includes the producer price index from the Labor Department, retail sales from the Department of Commerce and the Empire State manufacturing survey, all at 8:30 a.m. EST.
U.S. stocks on Monday finished mixed as Apple ( AAPL) shares declined and bank stocks fell ahead of earnings reports this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 19 points, or 0.1%, to close at 13,507. It's the fourth-straight session that the index has finished to the upside. The S&P 500 shed 1 point to 1,471. The Nasdaq fell 8 points, or 0.3%, to 3,118.
Dell ( DELL), the No. 3 PC maker but once the world's largest, is in buyout talks with private-equity firms, according to Bloomberg, which cited two people with knowledge of the matter.
Facebook ( FB) is holding a major press event at its headquarters Tuesday and there is plenty of speculation about what the social networker will announce. TheStreet's Chris Ciaccia suggested that a search engine is one of the more likely choices for a product announcement, as Facebook looks to take market share away from Google ( GOOG), the search leader.
JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) was ordered to take steps to correct poor risk management in connection with the multi-billion dollar trading loss it suffered last year.
Lululemon Athletica ( LULU) raised its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings guidance but said revenue growth would slow.
Toyota ( TM) is the world's top-selling automaker once again, taking the crown from General Motors ( GM). Toyota said it sold 9.7 million cars and trucks worldwide in 2012, although it's still counting. GM sold 9.29 million.
Homebuilder Lennar ( LEN) is expected by analysts Tuesday to post fourth-quarter earnings of 44 cents a share on revenue of $1.32 billion. Reports also are expected Tuesday from Forest Laboratories ( FRX) and Interactive Brokers ( IBKR).

Seasonal checklist
• Check for and repair loose doorknobs, spindles and outlet faceplates.
• Check windows and doors for drafts and deteriorating caulk. Repair to prevent energy leaks.
• Clean drains by adding one-half cup baking soda followed by one-half cup white vinegar. After 10 minutes, flush with boiling water.
• Check smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and first-aid kits.
• Clean windows, window treatments: wash blinds, dust window casings and scrub windowsills.
• Clean and repair screens.
• Inspect and clean mattress pads, pillow covers and bedding. Flip mattress if needed.
• Shampoo carpets.
• Have the air conditioner serviced by a professional.
• Clean the patio and outdoor furniture and inspect the patio and deck. Power wash if needed.
• Prune trees and shrubs.
• Flip the switch to the ceiling fans to create a cool breeze. (In winter, flip the switch again to allow warm air to be recirculated in the rooms.)
• Clean tracks on patio and sliding doors. Tip: use a bottle of all-purpose (degreasing) cleaner, a screwdriver and lots of rags. Spray the tracks generously and let sit for a few minutes to soften. Wrap the screwdriver with a rag, and make several careful passes along the track to get out the gunk.
• Clean roof gutters. Clogged gutters can result in leaks and pooling water, which can attract some types of termites.
• Check appliances: Inspect major appliances for wear and tear. Vacuum refrigerator coils. Clean all dryer lint vents. Deep clean oven, dishwasher and washing machine.
• Clean the chimney. This difficult and important job requires a professional.
• Have the furnaces checked and serviced by a professional.
Jan. 1 has come and gone, but it's not too late to make a resolution that can have long-term benefits.
If we make this the year to start preventative home maintenance, the grass won't be greener in anyone else's yard, advised Matt Le Vesque, this newspaper's Construction Zone columnist. He owns Bishop Construction Services Inc., a general engineering and general building contractor and forensic construction consultant in Redlands.
"Something as simple as changing your air conditioner's filter can make a big difference," said Le Vesque, an industry professional for almost 30 years. "Spend $10 every 30 days, and it will keep dust from gathering around your machine, the air cleaner and lengthen the life of your unit."
Le Vesque likens home maintenance to health care and taking care of a car; both need attention to prevent small issues from becoming large, costly problems.
"There was an old Valvoline commercial that said, 'Pay me now or pay me later.' It's the same for houses," he said. "Unfortunately, people tend to ignore regular maintenance."
That shovel you have been using for several years, for example. Most people will "wait until a handle comes off in their hand, and go buy a new one instead of tightening the screws," he said.
On the positive side, Southern Californians worry little about harsh weather conditions. There's no icing the driveway, putting on the storm windows or servicing the snow blower. However, there are important regional issues that should be addressed.
"Here we basically have two seasons: hot and not-so-hot," Le Vesque said, laughing. "What we have to deal with is the damage from ultraviolet (UV) light. If you choose a cheap paint, or put on a roof made from cheap materials, these will show more wear and degrade quicker from the exposure, just like the damage UV light does to your skin: burns, wrinkles, cancer. People think it's rain that does the most damage, but it's not; it's the ultraviolet light."
Not that rain is harmless. Le Vesque suggests homeowners check windows and doors for drafts and leaks, which are easily repairable in early stages. When left untreated, areas are at risk for such issues as mold and dry rot.
"Many times people wait until a crisis, and then make poor decisions that can be very expensive," he said. "They no longer have the time to take their time. If a pipe bursts, there's no time for research. They can't do the repair, upgrade or remodel when they want it done. They have to do it right now."
Easy preventative measures include cleaning gutters before the rainy season, checking sprinklers before the summer and vacuuming carpets at least once a week.
"Some people only vacuum about once a month and that will mean needing professional cleaning every two years," he said. "It's like a shirt that you wear and wear and wear and never clean. Just doing a couple of things will make a huge difference."

Rotation set for series vs. Rays
BALTIMORE -- With right-hander Miguel Gonzalez eligible to come off the disabled list on Sunday, manager Buck Showalter has set his rotation for the team's three-game series beginning Monday against the Rays in St. Petersburg.
Showalter said Wei-Yin Chen will pitch the opener, followed by Gonzalez and Kevin Gausman.
"The last two, I could potentially change the order depending on what happens today and tomorrow," Showalter said. "Something could happen where we need Miguel out of the bullpen on Sunday."
The 23-year-old Gausman was called up from Triple-A Norfolk while Gonzalez recovered from a right oblique strain. He's allowed two earned runs in 13 innings while winning both of his starts.
"I feel good about what I've done. I feel comfortable right now," Gausman said. "Whatever happens is going to be for the club's best interest."
If they both remain in the rotation, that ostensibly gives the Orioles six starters, including Ubaldo Jimenez, Bud Norris and Chris Tillman.
"When we get to the off-day [Thursday] we'll see where we are with everything," Showalter said. "Right now I haven't considered skipping anybody."

Bullpen breaking in a bunch of rookies
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers' bullpen is not exactly loaded with experience these days. Right now, it has three extremely green rookies, with Phil Klein, Alex Claudio and Jon Edwards all making their Major League debuts this month. And though Roman Mendez has already made 16 appearances, his debut came in early July.
Klein, who debuted on Aug. 1, has pitched in five games. Claudio has made three appearances for the Rangers, pitching in each of the past three games. Edwards made his big-league debut in Friday night's loss to the Angels.
Manager Ron Washington hasn't seen the rookie relievers much on the mound at Globe Life Park, but he doesn't have to guess how often and how much to use them.
"We know from the reporting that comes with them how many times they've been back to back, how many times they've gone three days in a row, the amount of pitches they've thrown in each one of those outings," Washington said. "So we have an idea of the length they can give. ... The other day when Klein was out there, he told us he's gone 49 before. He got 2 2/3 innings in 28 or 29, but he said he's gone 49 before. So we have an idea of how many pitches they've thrown and how long they've gone."

I, for one, think we have had enough of the petty bickering between the Sheriff and the D.A.. How can either one of them do the job they were elected to do when it seems they are constantly involved in antagonizing one another? They remind me of a couple of little children in the backseat of the car ... "Mom, he touched me! Mom! He's looking at me!"
These are two people who should be working together for the protection of the people in this county. They have shown that cooperation between them is not possible. We are talking about the D.A. and the Sheriff here, not two parking lot attendants. I don't know, nor do I care, what started this little grudge match. It is my opinion that both the District Attorney and the Sheriff should step down or be removed from office due to conflict of interest. Theirs over ours. This is obviously a private matter and they should both be liable for the court costs. As a citizen of Lake County, I am ashamed of the sideshow these two elected officials have made of our county's legal system. Grow up or get out.

The latest reviews from Kevin Bryan.
Chicken Shack, " 100 Ton Chicken" (Talking Elephant TECD202)- Stan Webb's Chicken Shack were one of the leading lights of the British blues boom during the late sixties and "100 Ton Chicken" was the group's third album,recorded shortly after Christine Perfect had left the fold to pursue a solo career in 1969. Perfect would go on to achieve worldwide fame with Fleetwood Mac but her former colleagues were much less successful in their attempts to fashion a heavier and more commercial sound in the aftermath of her departure ,although "Tears in the Wind" did supply them with a minor hit and they also turned in highly competent covers of tunes such as Clarence Carter's "Weekend Love" and Davy Graham's "Anji."
Robin Trower, "Roots and Branches" (Manhaton HATMAN 2030)- The former Procol Harum guitarist has slowly but surely slipped out of the public eye since recording a string of highly atmospheric albums for Chrysalis Records during the mid-seventies but his passion for music-making remains undimmed, and his latest Manhaton CD features re-vamps of some of the classic blues and r&b creations which inspired this gifted performer during his formative years."Hound Dog," "Little Red Rooster" and "The Thrill Is Gone" are all given an airing in the process,and Trower's distinctive guitar work is thankfully still just as fluid,intense and inventive as ever.
"Maurice Ravel: Complete Works for Violin and Piano, Sonata for Violin and Violoncello" (Haenssler CD 98.002)- This fine new CD provides an absorbing vehicle for the combined talents of violinist Lena Neudauer and pianist Paul Rivinius as they showcase some of the eclectic French composer's most impressive chamber music creations. The undoubted highlight of the package is the dazzling "Tzigane," and the duo also join forces with cellist Julian Steckel for another of Ravel's most influential compositions, 1922's lean and economical "Sonata for Violin and Violoncello."
"Cadillac Cuties and Hot Rod Heroes" (Fantastic Voyage FVDD 147)- The gas guzzling automobile became one of the most potent symbols of personal freedom in fifties America, and the burgeoning music business wasn't slow to capitalise on the fact, with seemingly every songwriter in the land penning their paeans of praise to the delights of a life on the open road. This new 2 CD anthology brings together fifty of the era's most engaging car related anthems , including Bo Diddley's "Road Runner," Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me" and Jackie Brenston's classic "Rocket 88."
The Getaway Plan,"Requiem"(Warner Music/UNFD)- Alternative Aussie rockers The Getaway Plan have returned to the fray after a self-imposed two year hiatus with a new album which represents a marked progression from their well received debut set,"Other Voices,Other Rooms." The band have obviously made a conscious attempt to marry their natural flair for experimentation with a much more radio friendly approach to songwriting, with tracks such as "Flying Colours," "Move Along" and "The Reckoning" capturing their drama laden sound at its most immediate and compelling.

Today a group of us were gathered around the conference table talking about what motivates people in their buying decisions in a particular population. I can't really go into the specifics of what group we were discussing, but one thing that was very important to people in this population was having family dinners every night.
It got me thinking… My husband and I don't necessarily eat at the table every time, but we do eat together every night and we both grew up in families that had dinner together every night. Some nights I would drag my feet and not want to come to the table, but it wasn't an option- if you were home, you ate dinner with the family. Didn't matter if you weren't hungry or didn't like what was being served- you sat in your spot until you were excused. For me, that's just how it always was and I never gave much thought to it until today.
As a kid, it was not an option to have something different for dinner than what was prepared- you ate it or you went hungry. You could slather it in ketchup, but you sure as heck weren't getting something special. My folks were very loving and I'm sure they wouldn't have made us starve, but it was more about the principle of not being picky. I understand that it's not always possible, especially in families dealing with food allergies, but I was surprised that some people in this particular group confessed to making a special meal for every member of the household.
What goes on at dinner at your house? Do you eat as a family (even if it's just two of you) every night? Do you make one thing for the whole group, or special meals?
There is no right or wrong answer, I'm simply curious how dinner is treated in your house. I'd imagine it gets pretty tricky when you are dealing with severe food allergies or celiac disease—how do you handle it?

A WELDER has turned his hand to making garden ornaments from scrap metal after his work dried up.
Peter Davies, 58, from Cross Keys has been making the pieces out of items such as old spanners, nuts and bolts, for 18 months.
It started when he was living in Cornwall, where he had a welding workshop.
He said: "People kept pulling into my drive, so I built a full-size replica of myself and put a 'no parking' sign on it to deter people.
"Then when I was packing my workshop up to move to Pontywaun a year ago, I realised how much scrap metal I had and just started playing with it."
After moving to live with his mother, he has been looking for work.
He said: "Since I've been here, I've made dogs, cats, mice and even a dragon that are in my mother's garden."
He has been working with Bron Afon's Digital Inclusion Team and members of Afon Youth to help him turn his hobby into a business.
He said: "This year, I hope to make a living from something I really enjoy doing."

Oil & Gas Producers Innovate to Tap Hard-to-Reach Resources
Stories of Enhanced Recovery from China, Ecuador and Texas
Despite sustainability advances, the world is ever thirstier for oil and natural gas, especially in developing regions with a growing middle class. To supply this ravenous and accelerating demand, producers are forced to explore more widely and deeply than ever before and cope with far higher capital operating costs, yawning skill and experience gaps, and increasing regulations.
"Operators are overwhelmed with data, and enterprise-level managers are also struggling with all the 'big data' in their organizations," said Elizabeth Parkinson, market development manager for Rockwell Automation's oil and gas division, at this morning's Oil & Gas Industry Forum at the Automation Fair in Philadelphia.
"At the same time, subject-matter expert pools are shrinking, so resources need to be shared," Parkinson continued. "However, remote visibility empowered with live data is challenging, so decision-makers aren't equipped to do it and often focus on incorrect priorities. The actions that drive better capabilities include applied automation via improved network and controller loading, avoiding bottlenecks, designing systems with process sub-system dynamics in mind and optimizing system performance. It's also vital to present data on dashboards and use better reporting and data strategies, but also maintain firewalls and leverage other services, such as cloud computing."
Rockwell Automation, its system integrators and end users are coming up with some stunning innovations to help increase the efficiency and productivity of their production applications. For example, the Oil & Gas Industry Forum showcased three creative process control and automation projects. Perhaps alerted to these innovations, about 250 visitors to the fair stopped by and turned the forum into a standing-room-only event.
"Rocket Engine" Extraction
First up, Mei Lixin, CEO of Jiangsu Great River Petroleum Technology in Jiangyin, China, reported that his eight-year-old company has developed a new method—Composite Heat Carrier Generator (CHCG)—to greatly increase oil and gas yields, and has even designed an explosion-proof version for offshore platforms. The firm provides technical and support services to increase production yields for China's largest oil and gas companies, including CNPC, CNOOC and SinoPec.
"There have been three traditional ways of enhanced oil recovery—thermal recovery, gas injection and chemical injection. We think there is a fourth way by combining the original three," said Lixin. "It's based on the working principle of combining fuel, air and water in a sealing room, and then injecting them at extremely high temperature and pressure—almost like a rocket engine—into the target reservoirs, which are mostly in light oilfields, heavy oilfields and low-permeability."
Hot, pressurized gases—including CO2, nitrogen, steam and chemicals—are injected into wells that are typically 300 to 3000 meters deep. "The three main ingredients in our CHC greatly thins the crude in the reservoirs, makes it much easier to extract, and has zero carbon emissions to the environment," explained Lixin. "And our process has less than 2% residual oxygen, which makes it safer to operate."
To reliably control and maintain its innovative CHCG system, Lixin added that Jiangsu Great River chose to employ a variety of Rockwell Automation's ControlLogix controllers, software and other components, and even implemented them in an explosion-proof cabinet for use on offshore oil rigs. "CHCG requires a highly reliable control system, good maintenance, remote access and global support, and Rockwell Automation was able to provide us with a turnkey system that solved our previous issues."
So far, Lixin reported that CHCG is allowing the oil companies that Jiangsu Great River serves to extract significantly more oil and gas. "In heavy oilfields, compared to regular steam injection, the oil recovery ratio has increased 10% to 15% after CHC injection," said Lixin. "As a result, the production rate of oil from each well is 6.6 times that of original production rates. Also, the Nanbao heavy oilfield was the first application of CHCG offshore, and it met the explosion-proof requirements, ran stably and increased daily production rates by a factor of six."

Recent years have produced prices for both farmland and pasture land that reached unprecedented levels. Can the trend continue – or is it a real estate bubble in the making?
A new report from the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research examines current patterns in price of land.
Alex J. Pollock, resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, says the current U.S. farmland market is showing patterns similar to the market bubble of the 1970s. Calling the event the "great U.S. farmland bubble of the 1970s," Pollock notes that prices peaked in 1982 before real prices fell back to their level of 15 years earlier "while defaults and insolvencies escalated."
Pollock, who spent 35 years in banking and was president and chief executive officer of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago from 1991 to 2004, said, "Trends from the past two decades suggest we may have entered another such bubble. Real farmland prices have been climbing over the last 17 years and are now higher than at the peak of the previous bubble. Analysts and experts are reluctant to declare this a bubble, and plausible economic reasons for current prices have been proposed. But it is also plausible to imagine price dropping again."
Specifically, Pollock says the Federal Reserve's record-low interest rates have contributed to inflation in the market prices of farmland, and he believes when interest rates begin to rise, farmland prices may drop.

Since our Blitzy is traveling again, I thought I'd step up and get the Sunday post started, since I'm just sitting here on my rear end, enjoying breakfast.
Happy Sunday, y'all!
Since our Blitzy is traveling again, I thought I'd step up and get the Sunday post started, since I'm just sitting here on my rear end, enjoying breakfast.
Happy Sunday, y'all!
Yesterday's 12 miles went surprisingly well, although very slowly (but that was intentional). New Mizuno Wave Inspires worked out really well, which is good since I had not even given them a trial run before the long run. Yesterday afternoon and evening I had that old familiar whole-body tiredness and dull ache, which felt pretty cool. So exhausted when I finally fell into bed (after going to the dog park, and of all night, getting wiped out by two zooming dogs who were not watching where they were going).
I was very hesitant to walk this morning, as I figured I would be completely in pain. And what an incredible surprise.....my legs feel better than they have in ages. No lower leg pain, beyond tight calves and Achilles. I was sure to do the ice bath after my run yesterday, plus extra ice on the shins later....and I took an Advil before bed. However, I really think the different shoes made a huge difference. Again thanking Sarah for enthusiastically suggesting I go shoe shopping.
I am gradually remembering my previous pattern for where to stash extra water, and how much. I also realized that I'm up to the point (since I run so slowly) that I need to stash an extra Gu as well. It took me 2hr45min to complete the 12 miles, and I went through 2 Gu's during my run (and one at the beginning), and consumed (4 bottles x 8 oz x filled twice) 64 oz of water during the run.
The medical tape under the front band of the sports bra did it's job, however, now I'm realizing that the back is chafing too. Not sure how I'm going to address that, since it's not a very easily reached part of my back to try to tape/Glide. Thankfully no other chafing or blisters.
So there's my TRR (training run report, I suppose).... mostly to give myself more reason to still sit here instead of washing up some dishes.
Matt - so, Beadfest for BA today, eh? Maybe I should swing by the expo center. Were you part of that HUGE ultimate Frisbee thing that was going on at the Oaks park yesterday? Looked like folks were having a blast, and the weather was perfect.
Morning! Started my LR at 5:30 and even then it was 90F and 77DP. 18 miles with the last 8 @ MP in 95F and 77DP. Can you yell SOUP!
Patti, I loved the Wave Inspires when I was wearing support shoes.
DR - great job with the LR this morning. So, did you run 8 last night, then 18 this morning at 5:30 am????
Good Morning,
Planning to run a mere 3 miles later. The 21 miles yesterday did a bit of a number on my ankles but this too shall pass.
Note: if you're planning on visiting NY and walking around DUMBO and you've been told by friends, guide books to have pizza at Grimaldi's....don't - Julianna's Pizza right next door is infinitely better and you won't have to wait 2 hours for mediocre pizza. We dined at Julianna's Friday night, it was superb, got seated right away (it was 6pm) and the service was great. Trust me on this one.
Pink- Great 12 miles and I liked the report. For the back chafing try body glide or vaseline. As for you question yesterday, yes - 3 Advils before each run helps a lot. Another secret is that I chew 2 Tums tablets before each run. Glad the new shoes made the run comfortable and post-run pain virtually non-exsistent.
DR - Unbelievable run in that muck - my hat's off to you. You're primed for Chicago now.
DR - great job with the LR this morning. So, did you run 8 last night, then 18 this morning at 5:30 am????
Yes, that is usual for me.
Good morning, all. Been a while since I've posted. Sorry about that. Been kinda crazy round these parts lately. LRD started back to school, Cub Scouts are in full swing, training for Blue Ridge Relay, I started back to school, DW training for a possible HM in a few months...we kinda have a lot going on. Been lurking around and checking in every chance I get. Thinking about all of you who are well on your way in your MCM training and sending positive vibes your way. I got out for 7.5 this morning and am dealing with a little hip pain so I cut the LR short and will start the taper as we are 10 days out from race day. Gonna do a lot of rolling on that leg hoping to clear up whatever issue is there.
pinkie - nice job on the 12
dr - running in the soup is no fun. we are starting to have some cool mornings here
bobby - nice 21 yesterday! hope the ankles feel better
Waiting now for DW to finish up on the treadmill and the family will be heading out for a hike this afternoon with the pups. Y'all have a great day!!
Sorry, ya'll. I've been a slacker. It's been pretty busy over here this past week, though. I did get in some decent runs. A 6 miler on Saturday and 16 this morning. Had to get up at 3:30 to beat the heat. It was 90* at the start, but only 93* at the end. I finished in an acceptable 2:40, but was pretty tired when I got done.
The 16 was my longest for this deployment and I'm up to 554 miles in 147 days...all outside...all in the stinking desert. I'll take it.
Have a great week. I may be out of pocket for a few days as I have some traveling to do.
Came in to lurk and posted a rehash of a blog entry from 2008 on the MCM for one of the people in training.
OK Pink for chafe issues there are several remedies you can try depending upon the location and level of irritation you're experiencing. You've already addressed the use of body glide but I'll rehash the subject. Both, Body Glide Anti Chafe and Gold Bond Friction Defense work well and are non greasy unlike Petroleum Jelly. Both the Gold Bond product and Body Glide seem to wash out easily as well and neither will stain clothes that I've seen. Another approach you've tried is using medical tape as a friction barrier. The nylon 3M Durapore (TM) tape adheres well even with heavy sweating. I've used it to protect my nipples from chafing from the t-shirts and singlets. Yeah, TMI but protection of sensitive skin was the desired effect and the discomfort of removal wasn't too bad. I doubt putting the tape on clothing to allow it to slide would have the effect you want to reduce chafing across the back. But some times things work in ways we don't expect. Maybe applying the Body Glide to the bra strap may do the job but again, I've never tried applying the product to clothing just exposed skin where it is rubbed by clothing. Same for applying the tape to the inside of garments where they are prone to causing irritation. I haven't tried it but that is not to say it won't work. you may need to experiment with variations on a theme to find what works for you. Best on the the training.
Colonel Cupcake, I'd take the drier desert air over the high humidity of a swamp any day. Heat is still heat but if the sweat can't evaporate.... well that sucks. As for training during a deployment... Wow ummm Sir.
Jaxdad...cooler mornings? where? Cooler don't arrive for me in MS till the end of November at best and never really came last winter.
Hey Gunny, how NOLA treating you?

Same store sale decelerated for The TJX Companies and Ross Stores during January even though both companies increased their full year profits forecasts.
TJX, operator of Marshalls and T.J. Maxx stores, said comps increased 3% during the period ended January 28. That figure was better than expected, but less than half the prior year gain of 7%. Sales for the five week period ended February 2 increased nearly 36% to $1.9 billion due to the inclusion of an additional week.
Comps for the quarter increased 4% and for the year were up 7%. Sales for the 53 week fiscal year increased 12% to $25.9 billion.
"Customer traffic once again drove this month's comp increases across the board, as consumers continue to be drawn to our great values on great fashions and brands," said CEO Carol Meyrowitz. "As we begin a new fiscal year and transition into spring, our merchandise mix is extremely fresh and we are confident we will continue to attract more U.S. and international customers with our tremendous values."
TJX did not provide sales guidance for the coming year.
Ross Stores said same store sales increased 4% for the four week period ended January 28 while sales total sales for the five week period ended February 2 increased 39% to $672 million, due to the inclusion of the additional week. For the quarter ended January 28, same stores sales increased 5% while sales for the 14 week period ended February 2, increased 15% to a little less than $2.8 billion.
Results for the month and quarter were better than the company expected as the company continues to drive solid revenue growth by offering terrific assortments of compelling name brand bargains that resonate with today's value-focused consumers, according to vice chairman and CEO Michael Balmuth.
"We are extremely pleased with our outstanding sales and estimated earnings growth for 2012 that continues to be driven by the strong execution of our off-price business strategies," Balmuth said. "Looking ahead, we believe our initial guidance for 2013 reflects respectable increases in both comparable store sales and earnings per share on top of exceptional gains over the past several years."
The company is forecasting a moderation of same store sales growth during the coming year with an increase in the range of 1% to 2%, following gains the prior two years of 6% and 5%. Full year earnings are expected to range from $3.65 to $3.80.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — More Minnesota taxpayers would be covered by a new top-end income tax rate in a Senate proposal than would feel the sting in competing proposals from the governor and House Democrats.
The Senate's proposal unveiled Tuesday raises the tax rate on the top bracket from an existing 7.85 percent to 9.4 percent. It would kick in on income for married couples when their earnings top $141,000 and for individuals making more than $80,000. It would bring in more than $1.1 billion.
Gov. Mark Dayton has proposed a new 9.85 percent tax rate on income above $250,000 for married couples and $150,000 for single filers. In the House, the income tax wouldn't kick in as soon and the permanent tax rate is lower than the governor's recommendation. But House Democrats would also tack a 4 percentage point surcharge on incomes above $500,000.

As offensive coordinators put in their two cents in their team's war room, they'll likely be pounding the table for players that can create match-up nightmares for opposing defenses. A versatile weapon that can play all over the field can certainly take an offense to the next level.
Which game-breaking players will they be lobbying for this year?
WR Tavon Austin, West Virginia
If you're a team looking for a slot receiver with elite game-breaking ability, look no further than Austin. With 4.34 speed and incredible vision and change of direction ability, Austin was one of the most dangerous weapons in all of college football last year.
One of Austin's best traits is his versatility, which was put on display in his massive game against Oklahoma. In that game he caught four passes for 82 yards, had 21 carries for 344 yards and racked up 146 return yards as well. Those 572 all-purpose yards were the second most in NCAA history, and a perfect example of how versatile Austin can be.
Austin won't carry the ball 20-plus times in the NFL, but he'll still be a tremendous weapon however he gets the ball. He plays tough in spite of his size, and isn't afraid of getting hit over the middle. He's small, but players like DeSean Jackson came into the league undersized and were able to make an impact. Austin could end up being one of the biggest playmakers drafted this year.
WR/RB Denard Robinson, Michigan
For any draft prospect, making a transition from one position to another leading up to the draft is difficult. For Robinson, making the move from quarterback to potentially wide receiver or running back, all the while trying to recover from nerve injury that caused numbness in his hand, it's been even more difficult.
The move got off to a rough start during the Senior Bowl, where Robinson failed to look comfortable as a wide receiver throughout the week. However, his showing at the Combine was light years ahead of where he had been, and he now looks like a legitimate talent at either wide receiver or running back.
Where Robinson will play at the next level might be in question, but there's no doubt he has the raw talent to make plays. Time after time he showed the ability to create big plays out of nothing while at Michigan. He can make defenders miss and has the sort of ability that a creative offensive coordinator can use all over the field.
TE Zach Ertz, Stanford, Tyler Eifert, Notre Dame
As the NFL has gone searching for athletic tight ends with the ability to burn defenses deep, players like Jared Cook and Aaron Hernandez have become examples of what many want out of a "modern" tight end. But blocking is still a key trait for tight ends, and neither Cook nor Hernandez excel at that.
On the other hand, for Eifert and Ertz, their presence on the field will give defenses little indication as to whether the offense will be running or passing. These two stand out amongst the other tight ends because they've shown great ability to block as well as impressive talent catching passes. Both players could prove to be two of the best all-around talents in this draft.
WR Justin Hunter, Tennessee
If wide receivers were drafted solely on athletic ability, there'd be no question that Hunter would be a first-round selection. Before the Combine, many wondered what sort of numbers he'd put up as he was just more than a year removed from an ACL injury. By the time he left Indianapolis, those questions were certainly answered. He ran the 40 in 4.44 seconds, put up a 39.5-inch vertical jump and 136-inch broad jump. Pairing those numbers with his 6-4 frame, he's got raw athletic talent that can stretch defenses and create mismatches with smaller defensive backs.
It is concerning that Hunter didn't have the same success in 2012 stretching defenses as he did prior to the injury, but that's partly due to his role changing in Tennessee's offense. The UT coaches elected to have Cordarrelle Patterson run more deep routes, which left Hunter running more intermediate routes and blocking. While no one would claim Hunter excelled at blocking, he did show that he's capable of making an impact in the running game and that ability makes him more than just a one-trick receiver. Still, his best trait in the NFL will be running past defensive backs—not necessarily blocking them.
RB Gio Bernard, North Carolina
There may not be a more dynamic running back in this year's class than Bernard. Not only is he perhaps the best running back in this draft, but he's also one the most talented kick returners as well. An explosive player, he's a threat to take the ball to the end zone on any carry. He also could be the running back with the best hands and route running skills in this class.
The main knock on Bernard is his durability. He's more powerful than you'd expect a guy his size (5-10, 205) to be, and he's capable of getting yards after contact. In spite of that, he's struggled to stay healthy for a good portion of his career. He'll be better off in a system where he can share the backfield with another good running back, which could limit how much of his explosive potential is realized.
WR Cordarrelle Patterson, Tennessee
A quick glance at Patterson's scouting report, and you might think you were reading about a smallish slot receiver. What you might not expect, however, is a 6-2, 215-pound player capable of playing in the outside of formations as well as in the slot.
Patterson boasts a combination of size, speed and vision that make him a fit in practically every NFL offense. There's no question that athletically Patterson has the potential to be trouble for 31 defensive coordinators for years to come. The real question is whether or not Patterson will be able to develop into the star he could potentially be.
TE Jordan Reed, Florida
Reed often gets lost in the tight end discussion, thanks to players like Eifert and Ertz, but don't overlook the talent the former Gator possesses. And while he's not nearly the blocker that those two are, Reed still has a significant role in many offenses. He's the sort of tight end that can play outside as well, and even when he's playing in a three-point stance, he gets of the line quickly. With good hands, separation, and route running, he'll attract the attention of teams looking for a player in the mold of Jared Cook.
WR Ryan Swope, Texas A&M
Before the Combine, many thought of Swope displayed good technical qualities but athletically would be limited to a role as a slot receiver. Now that he's shown that he's actually got straight-line speed to challenge players like Tavon Austin, Swope could realistically grow into quite an offensive weapon. It may take some work to get that out of him—there's a reason people didn't see that speed on film—but he could prove to be a great selection for a team looking for speed at the position.
FB Kyle Juszczyk, Harvard
In an era where fullbacks are often overlooked, it might be surprising to see one listed as a player with the potential to be one of the more special weapons in the draft. While Juszczyk isn't likely to be drafted within the first few rounds, the Harvard product will likely make an impact at the next level anyway.
Juszczyk isn't a prototypical fullback. He wasn't invited to the Combine, but at his pro day he posted impressive numbers. His 4.71 40 time wouldn't have stood out in Indianapolis, but his 37-inch vertical, 10-1 broad jump, and 24 reps on the bench press showed his athleticism.
While at Harvard he led the team in receiving in 2012, catching 52 passes for 706 yards. He was also a strong lead blocker. With strong talent in the running and passing games he should prove to be a great H-Back player in the NFL.

Here's another reason for people to hate CNN host Piers Morgan — he thinks the Bible is flawed. Okay, I will admit, there are parts of the Bible that seem incomplete. Take the story of Adam and Eve, specifically when Cain killed Abel and found a wife after fleeing. Um, if Adam and Eve started the human race, where exactly did Cain find a wife?On that basis, I believe the account is flawed but still, one has to wonder why Piers Morgan is rocking the boat. Ratings?
Piers Morgan told guest Pastor Rick Warren that it's time to bring the Bible up to date and that it should be amended like the Constitution.
"There is still an element of the bible that is flawed," Morgan told Warren on his program, Piers Morgan Tonight.
"I do not believe the bible is flawed," Warren replied.
"Both the bible and the Constitution were well intentioned, but they are basically, inherently flawed. Hence, the need to amend it," Morgan continued. "My point to you about gay rights, for example, it's time for an amendment to the bible."
"No," Warren replied.
"You should compile a new bible," Morgan laughed.
"I willingly admit that I base my worldview on the bible, which I believe is true," Warren said. "Opinion changes, but truth doesn't."
There might be another petition to throw Piers Morgan off the air because he's blaspheming. Well, that's what the right wing evangelical wingnuts would probably say.

Scientific Name: Order Isoptera
Description: Termites are sometimes called "white ants" due to their pale complexions and a few similarities with ants. Termites and ants have vaguely similar appearances, but there are several ways to tell them apart. Like bees and wasps, ants have a narrow waist that segments their bodies—termites do not. Additionally, ants have segmented, or "elbowed" antennae, while termite antennae are straight. Finally, both ants and termites have winged reproductive forms, but the forewings and hindwings of ants are different sizes, and those of termites are equal in size.
Size: King and queen termites are large, sometimes over an inch. Workers and soldiers are generally smaller.
Diet: Termites obtain nutrients from wood and plant materials, but they can't digest their food on their own. Instead, they have symbiotic protozoa and bacteria in their guts to break down the tough plant fibers.
Predation: Ants are the most important predators of termites.
Habitat: Depending on the species, termite nests are found underground, in dead trees and stumps, in the tops of live trees, and in wooden structures.
Range: Most termite species are found in the tropics, but several dozen species are found throughout the U.S., including Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Alaska is the only U.S. state without termites.
Life History and Reproduction: Something all termite species share in common is a caste system. At the lowest level are the workers. These termites are sexually and developmentally immature. Workers take part in building out the nest, locating food, and caring for young. Soldiers are the next step up in the caste system. Like workers, they are immature in form as well, but in some species, they have well-developed mandibles (jaws) for defense. Finally, reproductives (also called alates) are winged males and females that are the product of mature colonies. Alates swarm in warm weather and form pairs of males and females. These "primary reproductives" lose their wings and become kings and queens of new colonies.
There are several families of termites, and each has a different life history. Subterranean termites are found in both the eastern and western United States and cause the most damage to homes. The Formosan subterranean termite in the west is not native to the U.S., and they spread fairly quickly. Subterranean termites decompose plant matter in the soil. To go aboveground, they build earthen tubes to protect themselves from desiccation. Dampwood termites also require moisture and move from rotting tree stumps and logs across the forest floor. Drywood termites are less susceptible to desiccation and spend their lives above ground in dead trees or buildings.
Fun Fact: Termite queens can live over 20 years!
Conservation Status: Not much thought has been given to termite conservation, considering that termites cause structural damage to buildings. However, termites only come into our homes because we've built them over their former habitat. Termites can be beneficial because they decompose dead plant matter and return the nutrients to the ecosystem, just like earthworms and fungi. It's important to keep in mind that they are a valuable component of many ecosystems.

Uh... It isn't Watson. He's done fine. Our bigs are gassed.
Wow.....CJ BARELY made it across the half court line before getting called for the 8 second violation.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Portland fans seem kinda dumb about fouls
Paul George has been getting a lot of superstar calls tonight. Refs have been pretty shaky.
PG is gonna have to go off in the 4th. Thank god Hill is coming back on. Watson can NOT run our offense.
Paul shuts the crowd up everytime
We really need Scola and George to perform with Hibbert and West out.
These teams are **** without collecting foul shots
Going to be a crazy 4th quarter.
I was really kind of hoping we would have a decent sized lead so I could get to bed. Nerp, not going to happen.
Feels like lillard has been out there this whole game
I think the Blazers are going to pull away early in the 4th. Some of our guys looked tanked.
Honestly, if we are to win this, Scola and West need to be reliable with those jumpers, Stephenson needs to actually play, not just stand on the court, and Paul George needs to have the ball on every play.
Need lance to step up here in the 4th
Apparently Mahinmi can't get a call for himself.
Let's hope that the second unit does a good job.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Paul George goes to the bench - I don't see that being a good move at all.
this is not good....we only have 2 of our Starters out there and we aren't getting any of the friendly bounces nor finishing.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Our bench players are best when playing with Hibbert/George.
He has 3 fouls and I suspect tired.....I don't think that Vogel had a choice.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Whether we win or not, this game has shown to me we are the superior team
Frank needs to use his timeouts wisely to get our guys as much rest as possible the rest of the way out
OMG refs just follow the Blazers into the lockerroom after the game.

After his self confessed "jinx" of the P's games seeing as they are on a 5 -5 record while he is attending the home games, I hereby call upon Uncle Buck to NOT go to ANY more homegames this season.
Seeing their record the statistical implication of his attendance in relationship to that record is so far out of synch with the real record that we have every ground of assuming that he is "jinxing" our home games.
Either he stops going or visits a voodoo priest!

Trusting our sources: manuscripts, archaeology, and what we "cannot know"
Posted on 28 April 2014 by justin — 22 Comments ↓
I am fresh back from the "Buddhism and Social Justice" conference hosted by Leiden University, The Netherlands.
This will be the first in what I hope will be a number of posts in the coming weeks about individual papers and ideas flowing from the conference, posted both here and/or at my own blog, American Buddhist Perspective(s). This post has to do with methodology and how we approach our sources, so I think it is something everyone here can appreciate and, I hope, offer feedback on. At the conference Prof. Steven Collins made the very interesting plea:

Once phone customers have ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network), they can send faxes, computer data, and even video over existing telephone wires while they are making a voice call. But different regional phone companies have been using slightly different versions of the ISDN standard, just as different railroads once ran on different gauges in various parts of the country. You couldn't always get there from here, either on the early railroads or on an ISDN network.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
Until recently. Last November, a consortium of telephone-related companies launched America's first all-digital telephone network by splicing 20 regional networks into one interoperable national network. This event was dubbed "The Golden Splice," a reference to the "Golden Spike" which completed the transcontinental railroad at Promontory Summit, Utah. Barbara Hackman-Franklin, the US Secretary of Commerce, was given the honor of placing the network's first public call. Officials expect that by 1994, 50 percent of phone customers will have access to ISDN. Modem manufacturers are rumored to be on the verge of releasing a $99 ISDN adapter capable of unleashing the full reach of video/data/graphics to anyone with a phone and a computer.Go Back to Top.

A student's realization: 'Baylor isn't just a school; it's a family'
Orientation is underway for the next class of Baylor freshmen. Class of 2017 (and beyond): We received this note from sophomore Anna Hughes as the spring semester was wrapping up, and it hits on what exactly it means to be a Baylor Bear. Freshmen, here's what you have to look forward to as the newest members of the Baylor family:
"Before deciding to come to Baylor, I really did not know anything about it. My family didn't go here, I'm not from here, and to me, Baylor was just one of the 11 schools I had decided to apply to. If anything, Baylor was on the bottom of my list. I had attended private schools my entire life, and I wanted to try something new — something bigger and crazier, something outside of my comfort zone.
"As my senior year came closer to an end, and the time to decide where I would spend the next four years of my life grew closer, I had narrowed my list down to a few schools. Baylor still on the list, and still at the bottom. My family and friends knew Baylor was the better fit for me, but I was stubborn. I wanted to be the one to make the decision. I thought I knew what I wanted. My guidance counselor was quick to notice my unwillingness to give in to my family and friends and put me in contact with some of her colleagues who had attended Baylor.
"That's when my mind started to change. Everyone I talked to, everyone who had even heard more about Baylor than I had, couldn't say anything bad about it! I didn't understand. How could this place be so great? There had to be something wrong with it! So I prayed. Deep down, I knew the right answer, but I didn't want to admit it. Weeks went by. On college day at my high school, I didn't wear a Baylor shirt, and when teachers asked me where I was going, I didn't say Baylor. Finally though, one day I decided to swallow my pride and let go. I posted on Facebook to inform my parents that I'd taken their credit card and made my deposit to attend Baylor University, and it is still to this day one of the best decisions I have ever made.
"As a sophomore nursing student at Baylor, I will be leaving this amazing campus for Dallas in August. What I've realized just over the past few weeks, though, is that Baylor isn't just here on this campus. At the orientation for nursing school in Dallas a few weekends back, Baylor was there. When I talked to all of those people on the phone my senior year, Baylor was there. As West deals with and continues to recover from their awful tragedy, Baylor is there. What I've realized is that Baylor isn't just a school — it's a family. They say it, they advertise it, and you better believe it. I'm not saying Baylor is the only school out there like it, but from my experience, Baylor is definitely special. Baylor has opened my eyes to so much more than I ever thought it would, and its morals, values, teachings and mission are things I will carry with me wherever I go in life.
"I am most definitely Baylor Proud. Sic 'em!"
Sic 'em, Bears!

Offseason operation could delay Minor
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Mike Minor believes he will be ready to be a part of the Braves' starting rotation when the regular season begins. But the left-handed pitcher will first have to make up for the time he lost while recovering from a surgical procedure that removed scar tissue from his urethra.
After a Vanderbilt University surgeon performed the procedure on Dec. 31, Minor was forced to deal with two catheters and remain inactive throughout most of January. The inability to complete his normal preseason preparations during this stretch led to him feeling some shoulder discomfort when he reported to Spring Training.
Minor was shut down for a few days. But his shoulder has not been a problem since he was recently cleared to begin completing long tossing drills aimed toward rebuilding arm strength. The 26-year-old southpaw is hoping to soon be cleared to begin throwing off a mound. But it is too early to know exactly when Minor might be able to make his first Grapefruit League start.
"I don't want to put a date on it, but I think I will be good," Minor said. "Either way, I'm going to be fine. I just don't know when that day is going to be."
The Braves have not ruled out the possibility that Minor will be a part of their starting rotation at the beginning of the regular season. But it seems more likely that he will not pitch during the season's first two series and then possibly be ready to start as early as April 10, when Atlanta is scheduled to conclude a three-game series against the Mets.
Because of scheduled off-days, Minor could end up missing just one scheduled turn. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez is hoping the left-hander is back by at least April 12, when Atlanta plays the middle game of a three-game set against the Nationals.
"He could start the season and we think he will, because when you look at the schedule, we don't need a fifth starter until [April 10, 11 or 12]," Gonzalez said.
Minor visited multiple doctors over the past two years with the hope of learning why he has had trouble urinating. The problem got progressively worse and reached a point where he went to the emergency room in December.
"I went to the [emergency room] and was like, 'I can't [urinate],'" Minor said. "It was that bad."
Minor said the surgeon who performed the procedure told him the scarring was likely a result of something that occurred during his childhood. While he regularly performed tricks with a skateboard and rode dirt bikes, the Braves pitcher does not remember suffering an injury that would have led to this scarring.

BOCA RATON, Fla. - A security guard on Thursday carefully checked the network of nearly 1,000 surveillance cameras constantly shooting in the Town Center Mall in Boca Raton.
After two high-profile killings in 2007, the Town Center Mall is unveiling its new closed-circuit television command center and police substation.
The mall has added close to 100 surveillance cameras for a total of almost 1,000 cameras over mall entrances, hallways, parking lots and other common areas.
The cameras are operated from a closed-circuit television command center located in the new wing of The Terrace, directly above Chico's and between Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's.
The security guard watches over the mall from the closed-circuit monitoring station, where the cameras are capable of zooming in on people a long distance away.
Next door, on the second floor of the new Terrace wing of the mall, a Boca Raton police officer watches the videos from cameras at the mall, from the new substation.
The new 1,700-square-foot substation will be the operational base for the Boca Raton police officers currently assigned to patrol Town Center at Boca Raton and will include work space for four Crime Prevention Unit members. Additionally, the substation will be staffed by a Community Service Officer and civilian volunteers who will assist shoppers with police reports and fingerprinting.
City officials, the police chief and mall managers celebrated the opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday.
?Our intelligence gathering has improved greatly with the new technology," said Chief Dan Alexander.
In December 2007, 47-year-old Nancy Bochicchio and her young daughter were found dead in their SUV after they had been robbed and tied up. Surveillance recordings showed them entering and leaving the Town Center Mall on the same day.
In March 2007, a woman last seen at Town Center disappeared and was found dead. Her credit cards later were used in New England.
Then in August 2007, a woman and her son were abducted from the Town Center Mall and forced to drive to an ATM. Police believe that crime was connected to the killings of Bochicchio and her daughter.
?The task force is still feverishly working on that case," Alexander said.
But it has been hard to calm scared consumers. Mall managers hope the investment in about 100 extra cameras and the donation of space to the police department will help.
?I am a mother of two small children. I used to be here two or three times a month. Once that last crime happened, it hasn?t happened," said Susan Howard, a shopper who came to look around the mall without her children.
?I think it would be more comforting, because Town Center has never had a reputation as a crime-ridden place, and when those things happened, the comfort level was much less," said Katherine Walsh, another shopper.
Mall security will monitor the new closed-circuit television cameras 24 hours a day.
The police substation will operate with the six to 10 officers who were previously assigned to the mall area.

Hello from New Castle! I'm currently inside the belly of the beast. Here I've seen it all--satellite tvs, multiple pcs on broadband, loads of electronics; it's very mad scientist-y. I actually met the mother of our site's founder! She's had to put up with a lot over the years, of course, the poor woman.
As one who has witnessed the madness and survived, I'll be happy to answer any questions from my fellow forum members.

OK... just hoping to get someone's attention.
Though I've been here for many months now, I actually re-read the no-poo sticky because someone on another thread had mentioned that going CG meant no shampoo at all.
From my understanding, it's because of the surfectants in the shampoos. Does that include non-sulfate shampoos?
I'm currently using an organic, non-sulfate shampoo because though my 3C curls are dry, my scalp is oily. (I have a bad case of dandruff or "chronic seborrheic dermatitis" as my dermatologist called it.) This shampoo has helped my scalp, and I feel that my hair is still quite healthy.
So... is this CG? Is it modified CG? Am I going against the CG bible and thus deemed a curly heretic?
Why do we need to shampoo one last time before starting no-poo? I am confused by this...
I am confused. After a co-wash you use a different conditioner, right? So what about the next day in the shower, you don't co-wash, but do you still use the second conditioner from the day before to untangle your hair? Cause there is no hope for me to untangle my curls with just a water rinse. I am confused on whether I am doing this wrong or not.
1. I am very intrigued by this no-poo business, I am excited about testing it out to free my inner curls, however I have a couple of questions. I understand that with this method, you are to clean your hair with a conditioner without sulfates, but do many conditioners have sulfates? I am using Pantene pro-v, but the problem is, I can't read the back of the bottle because it is in Korean as I am living here in Korea teaching English. Can anyone tell me if this conditioner is ok to use? And if it isn't what are some big brand names that are ok.
2. I read in a couple of places that with this method you only need to wash your hair with conditioner once to two weeks. The other days of the week, are you wetting your hair and conditioning?
Thanks for the help.
