Put to the Test: Barm brack
We got a head start on Halloween by tasting four bracks from the supermarkets and all four do the job well, although only two, Aldi and Lidl's offerings, contained rings.
Superquinn's brack is freshly baked and bursting with fruit so is a superior product. The other three are perfectly good though. We also looked at the nutritional content and price.
Superquinn barm brack
Score: 4/5
Verdict: This one is different from the three below because it is baked fresh in Superquinn's bakery. As a result, it is a more expensive offering but the quality and freshness are great. There is a good spicy flavour and plenty of fruit, plus it isn't sugary. There is a light glaze on top so it looks good too.
Price: €3.99
Lidl irwins barm brack, 454g
Score: 3.5/5
Verdict: This brack comes in the middle of the Lidl, Aldi and Tesco offerings in terms of fruit content with 31% sultanas, but this one also has plenty of candied fruit, which gives it a strong flavour and a sharper, moist taste. It contains the most calories at 295 per 100g but has the least fat at 3.4g per 100g.
Price: €1.69 (€3.72 / Kg)
Aldi ballymore crust traditional halloween barm brack, 454g
Score: 3.5/5
Verdict: If you prefer a fruity taste rather than a candied fruit one, then this one contains the most sultanas at 34%, and it also contains some candied lemon and orange peel, but that taste doesn't overwhelm. The taste is good and also sweet, with the highest sugar content at 34.9g per 100g. It is also cheapest of those tested here.
Price: €0.75 (€4.05 / Kg)
Tesco value halloween brack, 400g
Score: 3/5
Verdict: This brack has the least amount of fruit with 25% sultanas, so it's not as fruity or juicy and as a result tastes more 'bready' than the others, so whether you prefer this one will depend on your personal preference. This brack contains the most fat however, at 7.1g per 100g, but does have the lowest sugar content at 18.7g per 100g.
Price: €1 (€2.50 /Kg)

According to the Occupy Philadelphia Facebook page:
Civil Rights activist Angela Davis spoke to a crowd of more than 1,000 people at Occupy Philly in People's Plaza at City Hall on Friday night, Oct. 28. Her speech inspired the crowd to continue working for a "better political universe." She read a message from Occupy Oakland calling for a General Strike on Nov. 2. The crowd cheered continuously throughout her speech.

I went to the Han Ah Rheum in Catonsville and in Gaithersburg, and neither place had it. I went to the Grand Mart in Laurel, MD and on Gallows Rd in VA, and didn't have it either. Does anyone know where I can get it?

Odisha government hoping for early solution on the water dispute
The Odisha government is planning to approach the Supreme Court for setting up of a tribunal under the law on inter-state water disputes. The start is hoping for firm and early solution for the Mahanadi dispute with Chhattisgarh.
"We will explore all options. We will leave no stone unturned to protect the interests of Odisha. That would certainly include the legal option of approaching the apex court for setting up of Tribunal under Interstate Water Dispute Act 1956," an official statement said on Saturday.
The government release quoted Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik who was in New Delhi for a tripartite meeting convened by Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti between the two Chief Ministers to resolve the dispute.
The serious environment threats posed by these projects will be decisively challenged in all suitable forums including National Green Tribunal (NGT), said the statement.
"Government of Chhattisgarh, despite all persuasive efforts, remained adamant at not agreeing to the just and equitable demands of Odisha," said the release.

Cleveland Indians vs. Kansas City Royals - 5/6/16 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Kansas City Royals (14-13) at Cleveland Indians (13-12)
MLB Baseball: Friday, May 6, 2016 at 7:10 pm (Progressive Field)
Y Ventura (2-1) (3.67) vs. D Salazar (2-2) (2.40)
The Line: Cleveland Indians -130 / Kansas City Royals +120 --- Over/Under: 7.5 See the Latest Odds
TV: STOh, FSKC
In MLB action at Progressive Field on Friday, we've got game one of a weekend set between the Kansas City Royals and the Cleveland Indians.
The Royals had a three-game series with the Nationals this week. KC won Tuesday's game, but dropped the two bookends by a combined 15-2 score. That makes seven losses in the last nine outings for Kansas City.
Meanwhile, the Indians just are fresh off a three-game set with the Tigers. Cleveland won games one and two by a combined 11-3. In Thursday's finale, the Indians finished off the sweep with a 9-4 victory, out-hitting Detroit 16-5.
USA TODAY Sports
In Friday's opener, we'll be seeing Royals right-hander Yordano Ventura take the mound. On the season, Ventura has recorded a 3.67 ERA, a 1.41 WHIP and a 2-1 record over five starts and 27 innings. On Saturday against the Mariners, Ventura was up for just four innings, giving up five runs on three hits and inflating his K:BB ratio to an ugly 22:20.
The Royals possess a few notable hitters at the plate, but overall have been lacking in production. Eric Hosmer is the star so far with 34 hits, 11 runs and a nice .333 BA. Mike Moustakas has been the power man with seven homers and 13 RBI. Backstop Salvador Perez has also shown some nice flashes with 21 hits, four homers and 14 RBI.
Pitching for the Indians on Friday, we've got right-hander Danny Salazar. Over five starts and a 2-2 record this year, Salazar has contributed a 2.40 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP in 30 innings of work. On Monday, Salazar was yanked after just 4.2 innings against the Twins, giving up three runs in a loss.
A cursory glance at the Indians batting order reveals a fairly solid group with no real standout just yet. Francisco Lindor is heading the charge with 29 hits and a team-high 17 runs. Jason Kipnis isn't too far back on his 27 hits and 16 runs. Carlos Santana and Mike Napoli have been the power hitters so far, with nine homers and 29 RBI between them. Napoli bagged a homer and three RBI in Thursday's game.
In their last 11 games against the American League Central, the Royals are a nice 10-1. Kansas City is also 37-17 in Ventura's last 54 starts overall.
As for the Indians, they're 9-2 in their last 11 Friday games, and 9-1 in Salazar's last 10 Friday starts.
The pitching and offensive matchups here seem pretty even, but I'm going to roll with the Indians. As the hotter team I think Cleveland and Salazar should be able to pull out a fairly close win in the opener.

After maternity, many new mothers take to diet and exercise in order to achieve the flat and well-toned abdomen from their pre-pregnancy days. However, sometimes it takes much more to restore a your body. A loose and sagging tummy is often the result of the skin being stretched from pregnancy, and not fat deposits.
An abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or a partial abdominoplasty (mini tummy tuck) can be used to help you reclaim the slim, flat stomach you had before maternity.
An abdominoplasty can enhance the abdomen by removing excess fat and skin and tightening the muscles for new mothers with pockets of fat or loose skin that are not responding to diet and exercise, including those with stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy.
A partial abdominoplasty, or "mini tummy tuck", is a similar procedure, but it involves a shorter incision and the skin is only lifted to the navel, which does not have to be moved.
Mothers who have stretched muscles and skin from multiple pregnancies often find tummy tucks are able to tighten those muscles and reduce the excess skin.
Ideal candidates for a partial abdominoplasty, or mini tummy tuck, are women who are close their ideal body weight (within 10%) and include those ladies who do not have enough excess fat and skin for a full tummy tuck procedure, yet too much for liposuction alone. The procedure works especially well for women with a localized fullness within the lower abdomen that can be easily removed through the smaller incision.
It is worth noting that abdominoplastys are not substitutes for weight loss or proper exercise. Also, tummy tucks (in general) will not correct stretch marks, though they can sometimes be removed or slightly improved if they happen to be located on the same areas of excess skin that will be removed.
Dr. Fiorillo will discuss the various benefits and risks of each procedure, and help you decide if either is right for you.
An abdominoplasty is considered major surgery, and is performed with the you completely sedated.
In a full abdominoplasty, Dr. Fiorillo makes an incision from hip to hip right above your pubic area. Another incision is then made to free the navel from the surrounding skin. From there, the skin is detached from the abdominal wall to reveal the muscle and fascia.
Dr. Fiorillo then tightens the muscle and fascia with stitches. Depending on the amount of fat to be removed, liposuction is sometimes used to refine the transition zones of the abdomen. A dressing and/or compression garment is then applied, and excess fluid is drained.
A mini tummy tuck is performed as an outpatient procedure under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the extent of fat and skin to be removed, as well as your overall health and preference.
During the procedure, Dr. Fiorillo creates a small incision above your pubic area, instead of the hip-to-hip incision needed for a full abdominoplasty. There is also no need for an incision around the navel. The skin is lifted up to the navel to remove the localized fat and tighten muscles in the lower abdominal area. Depending on the extent of fat removal needed, liposuction is sometimes utilized for a less invasive removal. There is no need for the navel to be repositioned with this less invasive procedure.
Dr. Fiorillo then closes the incisions with sutures, and small drains may be inserted to reduce the risk of fluid buildup in the area. The whole procedure takes anywhere from one to two hours to perform, which is much shorter than a full tummy tuck.
Your recovery is dependent on the extent of the treatment, techniques used, and numerous other factors. The initial recovery period can take from one to four weeks with Dr. Fiorillo advising you to take at least part of this time off from work. Strenuous activity is discouraged and best avoided during the recovery period.
At first you might experience bruising and inflammation, but a compression garment or abdominal binder can be used to minimize this. Full recovery takes up to 6 months, with scars fading during and after the recovery period.
After a partial abdominoplasty procedure, you are allowed to return home the same day following a few hours of monitoring. The recovery period is considerably shorter than that of a full tummy tuck procedure. Compression garments will be used to ensure proper healing for the next two to three weeks, although most patients will find themselves able to return to work after a week or two. Heavy lifting and strenuous is discouraged for about a month.
Tummy tucks are generally considered safe procedures. However, as with any type of surgery, it carries with it certain risks. Most of these can be avoided if you carefully follow the instructions you receive from Dr. Fiorillo. Severe complications occur in rare cases, however, and these can include blood clots, cardiac and pulmonary complications, infection, or thrombosis.
Although mini tummy tucks are generally considered a safe procedure, they also carry certain inherent risks. Some of these can include bleeding, infection, poor healing, and blood clots. While these risks cannot be eliminated, they can be mitigated by choosing an expert like Dr. Fiorillo to perform their procedure, and by following his instructions before and after surgery.
A tummy tuck could be just what you need to finally reclaim your pre-maternity figure. Contact Dr. Fiorillo today to schedule your personal consultation. You can contact him online or by phone at (866) 971-7705.


text: Hi everyone, After all my ranting in "how long to wait" - thread, I would like to express my feelings and share my experiences with my new pal, 'The MoJo'. My MoJo, is a Fiat Punto Evo 90hp, in Glitterati gold. I am not going to talk a word about my buying experience, its all elaborated thoroughly in this link, http://www.teamfiat.com/index.php?threads/13689/ So I will start of by saying why I didn't choose a swift, i20, Jazz, brio, polo or figo. No to swift and figo, coz I wanted to own something thats unique to look on road. No to the brio, coz it's too cute'zie... No to the Jazz (upcoming one). Coz, though it looks premium and all... Im my mind, Jazz is not a hatchback, its a sub-4 metre MPV. No to the mighty polo, coz its shares it's facial resemblance with every other VW car, hard to tell the difference when seen from the front. And No to the i20 elite,..... It looks so premium, stylish, and lots of bells and whistles (more than a church choir)... But in my eyes, it looks like a bloated i20(previous generation). Styling Q's don't match or gel with one another (IMO). Punto,..... Yes, now that's how I want a hatchback to look like,. And being a hatchback, it should be fun, and cool. So why not go for the most flamboyant colour available. Never thought of buying it in G-gold, but obe look at it in the Showroom, and I was flattered. I am happy to have seein it before I made my decision to go for Magnesio grey. Though my car looks like a flamboyant Italian model, I didn't want to call it or treat it like one. Thats simply coz I already have a Gorgeous and loving girl in my life. So I named my new best pal, 'MoJo'. It's been 10 days since I took delivery of my MoJo. 1000kms on the odo. Avg. Consumption 17.5km/l. Its a Joy to drive and to look at. ... Learning new things every day... I wouldn't be able to share anymore, I am a little busy with my final exams for the next couple of months. I took a few pics in my DSLR. Thank you all in TFI, for your suggestions and advice.

Queens saw slight upward movement in average rental pricing since December, says a recent MNS report on the borough. According its January market report for Queens, MNS measured a 1.43 percent increase in average rent month-over-month. Prices stood at $2,094.34 at the end of 2015 and grew to $2,124.26 in January. At the same time, inventory across Queens dropped 3.34 percent, from 1,256 units before the turn of the year to 1,214 units in January. A tighter market with fewer units for renters could have played a role in the marginal upturn in average price.

PinkCherry.com Sex Toys. It's called Emma's Passion Garden Honeysuckle Bud. It's made by a company called California Exotic Novelties. It requires two AAA batteries and they aren't included.
MATERIAL: This is made from a rubber blend called TPE. It's a bit translucent and you can see the actual vibrator inside. TPE is slightly porous so make sure to clean it very well in hot soapy water and use condoms on it if sharing with a partner. This is not a smooth, slick material so you should use lube with it. That's what I did. This is very flexible but I don't recommend bending it with your hands because you wouldn't want to damage the vibrator inside.
MEASUREMENTS: This has an insertable length of 6 1/4". The thickest part of the tip is 1.2" in diameter. It narrows a bit then thickens to about 1.3" in diameter. With batteries inserted, this weighs 4.2 oz.
MY THOUGHTS: This has got to be the cutiest thing I've ever seen. It looks so much better in person that in its photo. I really like the little nubbie things on the bud. I think it added some extra friction. The bud looks a bit like a raspberry.
This has three vibration speeds that are controlled by a push-button on the bottom. All three speeds are very, very powerful. This material vibrates very well, better than any other I've used, even on the lowest speed.
This isn't designed to stimulate the G spot but I tried anyway and didn't have any luck. I decided to use it on my clit and had a good clitorial orgasm that way but you have to be extra careful when using vibrators on your clitoris, as they can do some damage.
Pink Cherry has a pretty large selection of other vibrators so have a look around. This one is also available on their Canadian site. You can also find PinkCherry on Twitter and Facebook.
For 10% off your order, use code THANKYOU at checkout.
I received this from Pink Cherry in exchange for a honest review.

Airline Miles Credit Cards vs Cash Back Credit Cards
It pays to know the differences, advantages and disadvantages of cash back and airline miles credit cards if you are in the market for a new card. They both are beneficial in certain situations and the points below would be able to help you make a decision.
Airline Miles Credit Cards
Over the last few years due to strategic and continuous promotions airline miles credit cards have really taken off. More and more consumers turn towards this type of card for more affordable travel. The promotions have been so widespread that if you happen to miss them in your mailbox you would certainly have heard of their benefits during inflight announcements.
The rewards have even gotten better and better into order to entice new customers to come on board. From waiving the annual fee for the first year to thousands of miles on sign up they have made it almost irresistible to consumers.
Airline miles credit cards do have their benefits. For one you can save on last minute travel. Instead of shelling out a lot of money because you are booking at the last moment you can use your miles instead and get a free flight.
The bonus miles that you get upon sign up is another feature that differentiates airline miles cards from cash back reward cards. Reduced mileage rewards are also valuable since you can redeem your miles for discounts if you do not have sufficient points for a round trip ticket.
The disadvantages of airline miles credit cards are what make some consumers back away. For instance the high interest rates could easily wipe out any incentives that you earn. This could easily be managed by paying off the balance before the grace period. Either way it is up to you the consumer to calculate the savings. If it takes you three years to earn your free flight with an annual fee of $200 then the fees that you would have paid could have been put towards purchasing that ticket on your own.
Another major disadvantage is the stability of the airline industry. Miles you earn toward could be gone tomorrow if the airline goes out of business.
Cash Back Rewards Cards
Cash back credit cards are most likely the most popular type of reward cards. They often come with no annual fees, low interest rates and rewards that you don't have to jump through hoops to redeem. The earnings range from 1% to as much as 5% cash back on all purchases although the standard rate is usually 2%.
Some programs offer a sing on bonus like $50 - $100 to after the first purchase is made on the card. Generally cash back rebates can earn consumers $250 to $900 for the year and this can applied to the credit card balance, mailed as a check or redeemed for some sort of reward.
Other advantages of cash back credit cards include fewer restrictions since blackout dates, expiration of miles, seating restrictions and other sorts of restrictions do not apply.
Disadvantages include having to abide by the program terms to redeem the rewards. For example some programs dictate an annual or quarterly payout. They may also set limits on the payout meaning your reward has to be $50 or whatever limit they set before you can redeem.
We recommend you check out the best airline miles credit card on the market.

SRIHIR BHATTACHARJEE, chairman, South Dum Dum Municipality, met readers of The Telegraph in his Nager Bazar office, at Dum Dum, last week. Participants included Tulsi Kanta Nandi, Dwijen Mukherjee, Sudip Banerjee, Subir Sen, Saradindu Bikash Das, Bimal Bhattacharya, Sambhu De, Samar Ganguly, Basudeb Goswami, Mithu Das and Tapas Kar
Sudip Banerjee: What steps have you taken to improve healthcare facilities'
Earlier, we had only a maternity home but now, we have a full-fledged hospital, with outdoor and indoor facilities. It is a 30-bed hospital with all facilities, except scanning. We have six health centres. Our men regularly spray mosquito oil. We have an arrangement for free blood tests in our drive against malaria. You will be glad to know that the World Bank kept a watch on 127 municipalities and corporations with regard to steps taken by them to maintain public health. The bank selected the six best, and South Dum Dum is among them. Again, you will be proud to know that the European Commission is drawing up a special list on the six best and trying to help them. I should also mention that in our municipality, child mortality is barely one or two per 1,000. Similarly, the death rate of pregnant women is five to six per 1,000. That is a negligible figure.
Samar Ganguly: The population of South Dum Dum saw a spurt after the creation of Lake Town and Bangur Avenue. But the sewerage system has not been upgraded to cope with it.
Bagjola canal is being excavated to improve the sewerage system. But that was creating problems for those who live close to the canal. The excavated silt was being dumped on their doorsteps, they complained. So, we have commissioned three pumps to drain the accumulated water out of Bangur Avenue. Similarly, we have asked the public health engineering department to clear the water that accumulates in Lake Town. Water from Sribhumi is pumped out into the Kestopur canal. However, in spite of all these efforts, water is accumulating in other areas, like Debendra Colony. To prevent waterlogging, the canals need to be excavated. This year, some excavation was conducted and the signals are not as grim as last year. However, both state and central governments need to work in tandem for an effective drainage system. Sadly, the role of the central government in desilting rivers like Vidyadhari is not at all satisfactory.
Basudeb Goswami: What role does the chairman-in-council play in allotment of funds' Is there any discrimination'
Usually, we disburse funds for development of a particular area going by the population of that ward. There is no question of discrimination.
Mithu Das: In South Dum Dum Municipality, the number of primary schools is appaling.
There were nine government primary schools in our area. Now, there are five. There are several factors behind this. At present, with the increase of individual income, people are keener on sending their wards to English-medium schools than to government-run primary schools, where the medium of instruction is Bengali. As a result, some government-run primary schools were shut down and the teachers transferred elsewhere. The vacant buildings were allotted to schools which needed them. In addition, I must mention that teachers of government schools tend to take things very easy as they know their job is secure.
Tapas Kar: We are the residents of Vivekananda Pally. We want to know whether our Matri Sadan is under the South Dum Dum Municipality.
People believe it belongs to the municipality. In reality, it is run by a trustee board. The local panchayat only gave the land. So, it cannot be taken over.

Dry socket, the most common postoperative complication from tooth extractions, delays the normal healing process and results when the newly formed blood clot in the extraction site does not form correctly or is prematurely lost. This blood clot lays the foundation for new tissue and bone to develop over a two-month healing process.

Grades 9 – 10

T3: The Teen Timeline by Mark Hart
The Teen Timeline —or T3— is the teen version of the revolutionary Great Adventure Bible Timeline learning system that hundreds of thousands of Catholic adults have used to learn the Bible. Dynamic teen presenter Mark Hart makes the Bible come alive for Catholic teens by unpacking God's Word in a way they can relate to. T3 teaches teens the Bible by showing them the "big picture" of salvation history. When young students of the Bible first understand the "story," they are eager to learn more. The net result: teens begin to wrap their minds and hearts around the Scriptures. They come to see the Bible as a relevant part of their lives.

A Life-Changing Experience for Teens
Identity. Gender. Love. Chastity. The world is a difficult place for teens, and it has become increasingly hard for parents and educators to help teens discover the truth about their bodies, their sexuality, and their unique call to love.
In an age of "selfies" and egocentrism, You cuts through the noise to present an authentic view of the human person. It presents young people with the extraordinary story of their creation as unrepeatable individuals. But the program doesn't stop there.
YOU: Life, Love, and the Theology of the Body introduces teens to the truth that life is not, in fact, all about them; it is about going out of themselves to be a sincere gift for others.

Pale turquoise is added to the feathers in his coat and a band of colour across his eyes like a mask.

No way! Politicians pay with their jobs for voting AGAINST intervention
POLITICIANS who voted against bombing Isis yesterday scrambled to explain their opposition, with at least two losing top Westminster posts.
Labour MP Rushanara Ali, 39, resigned from the front bench after abstaining from the vote.
The ex-Shadow Education Minister said: "I am unable in conscience to support the motion."
Fellow Labour politician Iain McKenzie, 55, was sacked as parliamentary aide to Shadow Defence Secretary Vernon Coaker, 61.
Tory MP John Baron, 55, also voted against action, and said afterwards: "We should have learnt from previous interventions that just kicking the door down and walking away is not the right policy."
"We should have learnt from previous interventions that just kicking the door down and walking away is not the right policy"Tory MP John Baron
The 43 politicians who voted against included 23 Labour MPs, including Diane Abbott, 60, and John McDonnell, 63. Six Tories also voted against, while Lib Dem MP for Cambridge Julian Huppert, 36, was the only member of his party to vote no.
Others who agreed with him included firebrand Respect MP for Bradford George Galloway, 60, and Green Party politician Caroline Lucas, 53.

ShermansTravel experts know how to pick a good hotel. Whether in the budget, moderate, or luxury price range, the hotels we recommend always meet our highly selective criteria for what amounts to an unbeatable experience. We look at location, comparing the hotel to other offerings in the area; price range, determining where the hotel falls on the scale of affordability, and whether it merits the expense; and finally, experience, that all-important benchmark covering everything from aesthetics to service. We assess every aspect of the hotel experience, from beds and views to service and that indefinable thing called vibe.

After exploring the beauty benefits of rice, for the second time travel into Ancient Asian beauty secrets, I chose Camellia Flower Oil. The Camellia sinensis plant comes from China and Japan, but the flower has long fascinated European intellectuals and was associated with beauty (as illustrated by the title of Alexandre Dumas son novel, La Dame aux Camelias – The Lady of the Camellias). Since centuries, Camellia Flower oil, also called Tsubaki Oil, has helped Japanese women shine with incredibly long, lustrous, and beautiful hair. This oil which is packed with oleic acids that are very compatible with our skin, can be used to moisturised hair or as a face and body oil. It also contains vitamins A, B, D, and E, polyphenols, and omega-9 fatty acids as well as naturally occurring antioxidants. Camellia oil is a truly multipurpose product, and was supposedly used by Geishas as a make-up remover and a hair lacquer shine by both Geishas and Samurais.
Today, we have the choice between using a pure extract of Camellia Oil (I am also using this classical Oshima Tsubaki Camellia Hair Care Oil) or products that contain Camellia Oil. For Haircare, I find the pure exact of Camellia Oil too heavy for my extra-thin hair (I only apply it on hair ends or on my body) so I was tempted to discover other options with this legendary ingredient. In this post you will find my review of two Haircare products from the Korean brand Innisfree – Camellia Essential Hair Treatment and Camellia Essential Hair Oil Serum.
- Camellia Essential Hair Treatment by Innisfree
At the time of writing this post I have already finished the Camellia Essential Hair Treatment by Innisfree and I am very happy with the results. This hair conditioner contains 7 kinds of vegetable oils, Camellia oil and a green complex from Jeju Island – and whatever the later may be, it works! As you know, my hair is bad. Like really bad. So of course I am super picky with my hair products. Whenever anyone makes a complement on my hair I feel a sense of pride – this is all thanks to my loving care! Because, unfortunately in this department, mother nature was very mean. I have thin, dry, lifeless and naturally blond hair, that I occasionally torture with highlights. When I try to give them extra love with moisturising masks, they respond by being even more flat and greasy. If I don't moisturise them enough, they are so dry I can't even brush them normally. As they are quite long and dry, I constantly struggle with split ends, lack of shine and hair knots. I am in a kind of never ending quest for great hair products. And this Innisfree Camellia Oil conditioner is damn good. Moisturising enough for my hair, without weighting them down! It also has a light flowery smell that is quite pleasant even though it doesn't stay long. The packaging is very practical, because it allows you to squeeze every little drop of this conditioner to the very end (I like that!).
The ingredients:
- water, dipropylene glycol, camellia japonica seed oil, behentrimonium chloride, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, glycerin, sorbitol, lauroyl lysine, amodimethicone, orbignya oleifera seed oil, argania spinosa kernel oil, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, limnanthes alba (meadowfoam) seed oil, macadamia ternifolia seed oil, elaeis guineensis (palm) oil, hydrolyzed wheat protein, citrus unshiu peel extract, camellia sinensis leaf extract, opuntia coccinellifera fruit extract, camellia japonica leaf extract, orchid extract, hydroxyethylcellulose, isopropyl alcohol, trideceth-10, citric acid, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, fragrance
Where to get it? I ordered mine directly from the Innisfree official website.
- Camellia Essential Hair Oil Serum by Innisfree
Next comes the Camellia Essential Hair Oil Serum also from Innisfree. I was a little bit worried about this one, because usually hair serums weight my hair down as they are too rich for my thin hair. Surprisingly, this Innisfree serum, when applied correctly (for my hair, no more than 2 pumps per application) it worked just fine. The Camellia Essential Hair Oil Serum is advertise as especially good to revitalizes damaged hair affected by frequent perm and dyeing treatments. This serum did a good job in detangling my tired dry hair, and made them softer and more shiny. True, to detangle hair so well, a part of Camellia Oil and Hydrolysed Silk, it does contain silicon (but whatever if it works!). Despite being an oil, it has a relatively dry finish, so if you don't put too much product it shouldn't feel greasy (don't put it near your roots!). Overall it made my hair smooth, glossy and healthy looking. This product is enclosed in a little bottle with a pump, which makes it easy to control the quantity you want to apply. Also a little bit of product goes a long way, and I am still using this serum long after I finished my Innisfree hair conditioner. Similarly to the hair conditioner, the flowery fragrance is very subtle and pleasant.
The ingredients:
- cyclopentasiloxane, dimethiconol, isododecane, camellia japonica seed oil, glycolipids, c12-15 alkyl benzoate, fragrance
Where to get it? Also available on the Innisfree official website.
Next time I will be shopping Innisfree product I will try some other products from the Camellia Oil line, such as the shampoo or the balm, the only hiccup is that the delivery fees are high on the Innisfree website if you do not reach a minimum amount for free delivery.
Judgement time! I will give both Innisfree Hair products a 5 out of 5 Kinbeauty rating because they delivered on their promises, made my hair happy (and me happy by association!) and all that for a reasonable price.

Just wondering if anybody knows of a good device for recording instruments (guitars, mainly) on a PC that would be compatible with a Linux system. It'd have to be USB, I guess, because that's the only way I can connect it. Basically, anything that has a 1/4" input or two on it would be great.
Thanks :)

OT - DH Rant. Feeling hurt and betrayed.

Thanks ladies! I am not one to hold on to stuff like this and neither is DH for that matter. We always have bigger issues. DH is under alot of pressure at work, always - the economy and healthcare threaten his job constantly. He is the breadwinner, though I make a good chunk of our income, and we would be on hard times if he was laid off.
We did talk a little last night about our dynamic here in the house and said our apologies for not being more understanding for eachother's position within the household. He asked me to (and I promised to) talk to the OB at my next appt about my fears and I asked him to go to bed earlier with me - not only so we can have more intimacy in our relationship, but so he isn't so exhausted at work each day.
We've always had good communication, but lately that has broken down a bit and I think that has alot to do with our individual fears about this pregnancy. We don't want to voice those fears and fuel eachother's fears more. So instead of talking, we clam up. It's not easy juggling work and farm, a 7yr old child struggling in the educational system that is failing us so badly, a new high risk pregnancy, etc AND managing a relationship that is, at least to us, still new. We've been married for 8 years and still feel like newlyweds. So we take it day by day.
Thanks again for being here ladies! I moved to DH's town where I know not a single person so it really means alot to me to have someone to talk to!

Like the car is going to shut off
When I attempt to choose another setting on the vent selector switch (i.e.: move from panel vents to defroster or floor board) it will spring back to the vent position. If it does catch at another position, a sucking noice can be heard. I am assuming it is a vacuum leak, but am questioning if it is the selector switch itself.
After it randomly stalls, it starts right back up with no problem. Its been doing it once a day so far for the past 3 days. Yesterday it started jerking when i go to speed up from a stop. it acted like it was on ice or something and had no traction. i would have to take my foot off the gas for a second then slowly put it back on. i put transmition fluid in last night and i think that took care of the jerking problem. i think these 2 problems are related since they seemed to both happen at once, but my dad said there not connected so im not sure. please help
it shuts down whenever and it wont hold transmission fluid it does drain right back out but we think its fine then by the time we get to where we r going its all drained out and the transmission is slipping again...anyone got any ideas on what to do?
there was oil in my spark plug sockets so i changed the velve covers and spark plug gaskets on the valve cover...so i blew the oil out with an air chuck...and i still have absolutely no acceleration even after changing the spark plugs
I have changed the transmission switch, checked the bulbs and fuse.
OBD code Po455, Large!
Cant' clear this service lite.
It appears imediatly after trying to clear, never shuts off for a second.
Car runs perfectly with 63k mi. No smell of fuel anywhere.
Would it be wise to lean towards the tank preasure switch to start the process of elimination? Thanks, Chris.

while driving down the road my car just shut off and now it tries to turn over when you try to start it but it wont turn over what could it be
my neon will die any time, usually after its already running, only once did it fail to start back up. it usually starts up, could be a couple minutes or half an hour. of course it wont do it when you want it to so cant find the problem, have check wires, fuses,timing belt,( only code that shows up says its one touth off, its not)
there is a ticking noise under the fuze box under the hood and car wont start
Get an estimate and never overpay again

Guest Blog by Elisa Parker from See Jane Do
I distinctly remember the smell of pine needles and the crunching sound they created underneath my feet during summer outings at Mt. San Jacinto where my dad served as a California State Park Ranger. As a little girl the trees seemed to tower over me and provide a sense of protection and strength. Perhaps this was the beginning of my journey as a "tree person".
In her new book, "Like A Tree: How Trees, Women, and Tree People Can Save the Planet," Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen describes "tree people" as someone who has positive feelings for trees and an appreciation for them. She goes on to compare the likes of women to the wisdom and resilience of a tree.
Trees have been torn down and sometimes underappreciated yet they are an essential part to the survival of our planet and the ecosystem. She stresses that we are on the edge of either evo lution or extinction and it's up to us, as tree people and as women to be visionary activists and feminine feminists.
Jean Shinoda Bolen is a psychiatrist, Jungian analyst, and an internationally known author and speaker who draws from spiritual, feminist, Jungian, medical and personal wellsprings of experience.
Recently on International Women's Day I was invited to join Conversations host, Michael Stone for an interview with Jean Shinoda Bolen on KVMR. During the interview Dr. Bolen shared incredible stories of how everyday women are enriching communities through their activism around trees and how the uprising of women (especially western women) are essential to saving the planet. Our conversation heated up as we discussed the guys and where they stand amongst the women's movement. Bolen's message is directed towards both women and men and invites us to look around to see where we can make a difference.
Lastly, Dr. Bolen shared the three questions to consider in identifying your assignment, the issue that will ignite your passion. 1) Is this meaningful? 2) Will it be fun? 3) Is it motivated by love?
Following recent storms in the Sierra Mountains the trees carried the burden and weight of the heavy snow. Branches broke and in some cases temporarily removed our power. Some of the oldest trees in my neighborhood toppled and blocked roads.
In some ways the aftermath of the storm and its effect on the trees reminds me of the journey women have endured. While women have suffered setbacks and at times the power of their voices have been marginalized, women persevere, they are an essential force, they are strong, they matter and like a tree while one woman can enrich a community it requires thousands of trees and women to sustain life on this planet.
What is your "tree story" and how will you activate your passion into action?

I've reached a personal milestone today. I know to some of the contributors here this is really nothing. But to me it is definitely encouraging for myself. I've reach a total revenue of $500 USD and reached 2.5 downloads per image. I'm quite happy. I've been here for just over 1 year. Every month's return has gotten better and better. And payouts seem to have come faster and faster.
I would still classify myself as a newbie compared to some of the contributors here on Dreamstime. But to all those Newbies, hang in there and you'll see your work payout at the end. Time is on your side when it comes to stock photos.
Below is the milestone photo.
Best of luck.

PRM gearbox control synchronisation
spindle replied to spindle's topic in Boat Building & MaintenanceThank you Tony and Blizzard. I've moved the cable trunnion to the inner hole on the control end. There is now 1.2mm clearance from the stop each way which according to PRM is adequate. I wasn't happy once the RCR engineer changed the cable, and the two subsequent RCR engineers couldn't resolve the problem either. Happy to have it sorted now.
PRM gearbox control synchronisation
spindle replied to spindle's topic in Boat Building & MaintenanceThat's what concerns me.
PRM gearbox control synchronisation
spindle posted a topic in Boat Building & MaintenanceI have a PRM150 gearbox controlled by a Teleflex 700SS. Having had a gear cable break and replaced, the gear level arm is now very hard up against the stops. The workshop manual states: With 38mm travel on the Teleflex control this is impossible to achieve, it hits the stops, and did knock it out once. Calculations suggest that the 31mm travel setting at the Teleflex end would not give enough travel. Has anyone got a similar set up and which holes are used on the control lever and gearbox operating lever? Any advice would be appreciated.
Oil Temp Guage
spindle replied to Tim Doran's topic in EquipmentTim, did you manage to retrofit these gauges in the end? I've got a Barrus Shire 40 Yanmar 4TNV88D engine with standard panel. I'd like to add temperature and oil pressure senders and gauges in a similar manner to how you describe. There is a spare hole for the additional temperature sender but not for the oil pressure sender; the latter I intend to fit with a y-connector. From the Barrus Shire manual (below), the parts necessary are: Oil pressure 1/8 - 27 NPTF 5 Bar Sender 1/8 x 1/8 x 1/8 BSP F/F/F Y Connector 1/8 BSP Male/Female Water temperature Water Temperature Sensor (3/8 BSP) I am a little confused because the above oil pressure arrangement mixes NPTF and BSP, which are not compatible. Barrus say the water temperature sensor is a VDO 3/8 BSP but VDO say they do not make a BSP version. I also can't find out whether the engine block is tapped NPT or BSP. Yanmar manuals indicate PT which could be either. I'd be pleased if anyone has any useful suggestions on how to proceed?
I based my choice on the pipe sizing chart from Calor Marine Shop. I have a pipe run of approximately 30 feet. The cooker is rated at 12.9 KW. As far as I can see from the chart, 3/8" pipe will only deliver 8.43 KW, and 1/2" pipe 24.18 KW at this length. I would like to be proven wrong on this as it would be much easier in 3/8" pipe!
I asked the same question of Hotpoint by email and received the following less than helpful response: Being somewhat disappointed at this I managed to elict a slightly better response following a few cross phone calls: As for the technical reasons, I'm still none the wiser. For the benefit of anyone thinking of fitting this cooker, another problem I seem to have found is the fact that the 12.9 KW rating, on calculation, necessitates 1/2 inch supply tube and that 1/2 inch fittings seem extremely difficult to come by particularly when trying to keep joints down to a minimum.
Thanks ChrisPy. My sentiments exactly. I tried the supplier, he had no idea and didn't offer to enquire. I shall persevere with Hotpoint, oops I mean Indesit, oops I mean Glen Dimplex. Hopefully someone online may have actually installed the same model (correctly) and can clarify. It is my intention to have the installation certified on completion.
Thanks wonderdust, but the cooker is an LPG model only. The problem I have is which side do I connect the LPG hose to and I would like to know the reasoning behind the requirement.
Gas cooker installation
spindle posted a topic in Boat Building & MaintenanceI am trying to install a Hotpoint HW170LIW Free Standing Gas Cooker. The manual indicated to make the LPG connection to the left hand side. Having now cut the pipe to fit the connection on the left-hand side looking from the front, I am having second thoughts about the wording in the manual. It states the following: "Gas connection The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a corgi registered installer. During installation of this product it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the appliance for the convenience of any subsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must be carried out according to the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained that it is adaptable to the type of gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed "Adaptation to different gas types". On some models the gas supply can be connected on the left or on the right, as necessary; to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and replace the gasket (supplied with the appliance). In the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use pressure regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas supply must be connected to the left of the appliance. Be sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of the cooker touching hot parts." I have contacted the manufacturer but they will only offer an opinion on the wording of the manual (which they believe implies left, from the rear) rather than explain the reasoning behind the technical requirement. 1. By 'left of the appliance', do they mean port or starboard? 2. Why does it matter for LPG, but not for other gas? 3. Has anyone else fitted a similar cooker, and which way round have you done it? Thanks in anticipation of any advice.
Thanks for the interest & comments. The future addition of a cratch cover was of concern. The new photo should clarify things and shows one of the two locker vents. the upstand to the cabin doors is a couple of inches with ventilation louvres in the doors 3 or 4 inches above that. I am looking at installing 2 x 3.9kg cylinders, regulator, valve plus bubble tester below the lip of the cranked lid.
Thanks son
Its the starboard bow of the boat outside the front of the cabin built into the gunnel.
gas locker location
spindle posted a topic in Boat Building & MaintenanceHi, Im looking for advice/views on the problem I may/may not have caused myself. The plan was as per photo to locate 2 small gas bottles in the housing as shown. I am about to install the gas system to a cooker only. (to be checked by CORGI). Whilst I am sure that I can comply with the BSS (the bottles etc. will be below the the opening) I note that BS EN ISO10239 says that "cylinder lockers when closed will be vapour tight to the craft interior openable only from outside the craft". The housing has two external bottom vents. Should by some means gas escape over the lid then no doubt it would drain out through the cockpit vents. The photo is an old one, I am now on the water so am loath to alter my original design. The housing lid and raised water tank lid were intended to, and do, provide ideal access steps for my elderly mother. Whilst not keen on gas, I was happy with the safety aspect of my intended cylinder location, however ISO10239 has put doubt in my mind. Other views would be appreciated.
Electrozapping fish
spindle posted a topic in Fishing, Cycling and WalkingCasually watching from my narrowboat the local angling club electro-stunning pike presumably to remove them from the canal, I enquired as to what power was being used and was somewhat surprised with the answer 10A at 110V in very close proximity to my boat. It crossed my mind as to what effect, if any, this would have on my galvanic isolator.
Modification of a Morso Squirrel before fitting.
spindle replied to Odessa's topic in EquipmentWhen I fitted my Morso back boiler I seem to remember that there was a baffle plate and a smoke hood (a bulbous piece of metal) both of which interferred with the location of the boiler. I queried it with the very helpful chap at Morso who advised removal of both items. I recall that I was given the impression that the smoke hood was a new innovation by the manufacturers. The Morso chap also sent me fitting instructions for the boiler - a series of photographs which were very helpful. As I wouldn't like to try and reinstall everything I hope you are advised the same.

Jan Vertonghen: This Spurs side could contest for Champions League places
Jan Vertonghen believes that Tottenham's young team are capable of "great things".
Spurs next host their North London rivals Arsenal in the Capital Cup on Wednesday and, after three consecutive wins, optimism surrounding their prospects is again building.
Son Hueng-min, 23, scored the only goal of the game in Sunday's 1-0 defeat of Crystal Palace, playing alongside the 19-year-old Dele Alli, 21-year-old Eric Dier, 22-year-olds Ben Davies and Harry Kane and 23-year-olds Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen.
Among others, manager Mauricio Pochettino also soon expects to have Alex Pritchard, 22, and Ryan Mason, 24, again available and, as one of the senior players in that youthful team, Vertonghen is convinced by their significant potential.
"We looked very solid for 90 minutes (against Crystal Palace)," the defender said. "We played well at the start of the season but we weren't that focused at the end of the games.
"But things are looking very good. We have great young players and a good mix, so there are great things for the team if we can keep working like this.
"It looks very good for the future."
One ongoing concern remains the usually-prolific Kane's lack of goals. His build-up play against Palace was typically effective but when goalscoring opportunities were presented they again went to waste.
However, Vertonghen is confident that his disappointing run will soon end.
"He has just been a bit unlucky," Vertonghen said. "He scored for England and in the training sessions he has been doing very well, so the goals will come.
"He's not a guy who will just have one good season and then you never see him again. He has the qualities to perform and the goals will come eventually."

For a family forced to flee, having a safe roof overhead is an urgent need. In an emergency, NRC provides them with physical safety, protecting their belongings, their privacy and their dignity.
What is shelter for displaced people?
Shelter is essential for the physical protection and privacy of people affected by displacement.
To build shelters with a displaced community is a complex task. It involves a range of social, cultural and economic considerations. But a sound shelter can have great effect. It allows people to lead their lives in a safe, supportive and culturally appropriate setting.
In a community, a school, a doctor's office, markets, latrines or community centres can make a real difference for people forced to flee their homes.
NRC's shelter activities meet both their physical and social needs.
People reached in 2015
shelters were built or rehabilitated
schools were built or rehabiliated
people received our shelter services
Our shelter work
In acute emergencies, NRC plans and prepares camps and settlements, constructs spaces for schools and communal infrastructure, and distributes household items.
NRC's teams work on housing, schools and community spaces. We build and repair buildings, so that homes, schools and recreation centres are accessible and durable. We provide residents with shelter materials or cash grants to purchase them, and give training sessions in maintenance to promote self-reliance and strengthen local capacity. In urban areas, we work with landlords to ensure that apartments rented to refugees meet basic living standards.
Our shelter experts always consult and coordinate with the displaced community as well as partners and local authorities. To find sustainable solutions, we always analyse needs and adapt our assistance to the context. This way, displaced people receive the quality support they deserve, in which the design and functionality of the shelter is adjusted according to social norms, climate, age, gender and disability.
Last year, our shelter projects supported more than 800,000 people.
We collaborate with other NRC teams to enable displaced persons to access social services and livelihood options. We coordinate our work with the NRC WASH teams, building facilities such as latrines. We also collaborate with NRC's experts on information, counselling and legal assistance (ICLA) so that leases and tenant agreements don't take advantage of displaced people.
Equal opportunities for women
Often, a woman is the head of her family's household. She may find it challenging to find a safe and lockable shelter for her family.
At NRC, we want women to have equal land and shelter opportunities. Our shelter teams prioritise reaching women. In Afghanistan, our all-female shelter team seeks out and empowers displaced women in female or widow-headed households in need of humanitarian assistance.
We're expanding the all-female team concept into other countries, so more displaced women can have a safe space to call their own.

A new age is coming... The King will come...and he will rule forever in Avalon.
Through the generations the women of Avalon prepare for the coming of the Defender, the sacred king who will guard the old ways of the Britons and save their land from destruction. On the holy isle of Avalon, hidden in the mists between the world of Faerie and the world of men, they wait. For High Priestess Caillean, facing the Roman foe, salvation comes not through victory, but bitter sacrifice.
Two hundred years later, her successor, Dierna, faces a new enemy: the Saxon hordes who assail her people like savages. By the time of Viviane, Britain seems wholly lost. But a Merlin is made amongst the Druids once more, and the day of the Defender, who will come to be known as Arthur, draws close.
A spellbinding historical fantasy, Lady of Avalon links the best-selling novels in the Avalon series - The Forests of Avalon and The Mists of Avalon.
©1997 Marion Zimmer Bradley (P)2010 Tantor
"Bradley here combines romance, rich historical detail, magical dazzlements, grand adventure and feminist sentiments into the kind of novel her fans have been yearning for." (Publishers Weekly)
"Two very interesting stories"
Admittedly, when I read the hardcover years ago, I was extremely disappointed with the fragmented nature of this book. I wanted "Epic" like Mists, and dismissed this book with some sourness. I only chose to get the audiobook because of Rosalyn Landor, and how stunning I thought her reading of "The Forest House" was. This book ("Lady of Avalon") like the previous one, just blossoms under Ms. Landor's efforts. I still don't care for the middle story, but the bookends - the first part taking up the action right after "The Forest House" ends and the third part, learning about Viviane's early years, are just beautifully done now.
I still don't think this is a great standalone book - in fact, I would only recommend it after listening to "The Forest House" and as a bridge to "Mists." But, if like me, you didn't enjoy reading the novel itself, I would suggest you give it another try by listening to it being read by such a wonderful storyteller.
"Enchantment Personified"
Back in time in Avalon's history, the reader is effortlessly drawn back into the world Zimmer Bradley first created with "The Mists of Avalon." The story moves along magically and if it were in book form, it would be a real page-turner. The characters are human and real as well as fairy and priestess.
"Loved the Entire Series...but..."
I loved the entire series but was really shocked that at the end of "Daughter of Avalon" the Fairy Queen reveals the outcomes of Viviane's efforts in "Mists of Avalon."
I had read "Mists" many years ago, so I already knew the story.
However, if someone was reading the entire series from start to finish, never having read "Mists"--I would think this would be a major bummer to find this out.
"Good story missed connection till end"
Sorta confused what was happening or how it tied in till the last few hours
"my wife chose this book"
this is my wifes favorite book. she had read hard back and said the audio book was better. so this is her review

Deutsche Telekom, Germany's largest telco and owner of T-Mobile USA, says it will soon report the number of requests for call data it's received from governments around the world, including the U.S. government.
It will be the first time Deutsche Telekom has provided details of such requests from governments outside Germany.
In 2013, Verizon was found to have been supplying the National Security Agency with millions of phone records. It was the first of two surveillance bombshells that dropped last year, the second being revelations about the NSA's secret Prism program, which monitored information from the nation's largest Internet companies.
Media reports in the wake of the scandals revealed that AT&T and Sprint, too, had been providing phone records to the feds. In 2013, AT&T reported having received more than 300,000 demands for call data from authorities investigating criminal and civil matters.
A Deutsche Telekom spokeswoman says T-Mobile is currently studying the level of detail it can disclose on the information requests.
Another European operator, Vodafone, released its first report on government intercepts last year. And in it was the somewhat disturbing factoid that in six countries where it operates, Vodafone had allowed law enforcement agencies to attach surveillance hardware directly to its network, implying that those governments could collect call data without even notifying the carrier.

Better, Faster, Cheaper: An Experimental Analysis of a Multiattribute Reverse Auction Mechanism with Restricted Information Feedback
The majority of reverse auctions for procurement use a single-attribute (price) format while providing constraints on nonprice attributes such as quality and lead time. Alternatively, a buyer could choose to conduct a multiattribute auction where bidders can specify both a price and levels of nonprice attributes. While such an auction may provide higher theoretical utility to the buyer, it is not clear that this theoretical improvement will be realized given the increased complexity of the auction. In this research, we present an ascending auction mechanism for a buyer whose utility function is known and dependent on three attributes. Motivated by a supply chain procurement problem setting, we consider quality and lead time for the two attributes in addition to price. The auction mechanism provides the bidders with restricted feedback regarding the buyer's utility function. We explore, experimentally, the performance of this multiattribute auction mechanism as compared to a price-only auction mechanism. Compared with the price-only auction, we find that our mechanism design is effective in increasing both buyer utility and bidder (supplier) profits.
