VIRTUAL SURGERY: In a virtual surgery lab students have a chance to practice a wide variety of surgeries before facing real patients. Some simulators teach depth perception or eye-hand coordination, while others focus on techniques such as closing incisions or reconnecting two ends of a blood vessel. For minimally invasive surgery, the resident may look at a computer monitor while manipulating instruments extending into a black box. For practicing colonoscopies, some labs have human models that can detect the type of movement that would cause pain and respond with human-like sounds. The students who train at the virtual laboratory improve their speed, efficiency, and technique before operating on patients.
A HELPFUL HAND REST: Mechanical engineers at University of Utah designed a hand rest that stabilizes the wrist and reduces fatigue associated with making artwork, performing surgery, creating fine circuitry, and other tasks requiring a steady hand. The hand rest actually moves along with the motions of the hand, supporting its weight. By providing extra support and reducing fatigue, the hand rest improves efficiency and precision.
WHAT IS MOTION CAPTURE: Motion capture cuts the costs of computer animation while creating more natural movement. Such systems work by tracking the locations of hundreds of reflective balls attached to a human actor. This permits the actor's movements to be sampled by a camera many times per second. But the digital record is limited to movements and does not include the actual appearance of the actor. They are limited in resolution to several hundred points on a human face.

The ASUS Republic of Gamers (R.O.G) OC Station first surfaced at the CES event earlier this year, where it was referred to as G-Panel. Heading towards a gala Computex launch, perhaps along with the recently pictured Crosshair III Formula, the OC Station represents the company's attempts to woo the professional overclocker with a hardware OC management device. The ROG OC Station is a device that features controls for the system's overclocking on the fly, along with various temperature, voltage, and fan speed control/monitoring added to the mix. As a fan controller, the OC station provides output to four fans. The device connects to the ROG series motherboard and provides "hardware-based OC", meaning that it isn't merely a human-interface extension for a software running on the OS. Controls are care of three buttons along with a rotary switch, while a TFT-LCD screen keeps the user posted about clock-speeds, voltages, fan-speeds and temperatures, which might help when the system's display is busy running a 3D benchmark. The device can be used on the desk, where it's front panel moves along a hinge, for better user orientation, or its 2U size can occupy two 5.25-inch drive bays on a PC case. Source: XFastest
Great looking gagdet, the average overclockers will love it. LMAO @ Εnglish inpai...doesn't even points out its source:shadedshu
it's knob seems to be very high thus on modern case it might not fit under the "hood" that covers the 5.25 Drives Why the hell doesn't they include different ones for the big knob? just in case someone want to change the height?
(gets fragged cuz falling off chair at lan LOLing at evil Mussels) really though is the bios just that tedious...would you pay money for this?
That gets one thinking. Imagine a newb buys this device. Turns the knob to 18GHz, and frzzzzzzt. And then he sues Asus, because they have not printed 10 inch large letters on the device that says anything about oc'ing might shorten lifespan etc. And he gets rich and Asus goes bancrupt. Okay a bit far off, but still. Oc'ing being this easy can lead to many innocent hardware devices dieing.
I don't care about brushed aluminum or face, features are what I would use it for. I not sure if I would hook up my up-coming fan upgrade a deltas which have 30watts draw to this oc controllers fan outs as it would fry it. But, there is still a go around to hook up high wattage fans to a rheostat then have a signal line from this Asus oc controller to pulse the rheostat. At any rate......since it's all boxed up and ready to ship out...why don't they give out the bleeding price already???
looks ok... Nah not fugly brushed alu = only other thing than plastic which is NO BETTER! Plus i dont see alot of space for "brushing", or even NOTICING even its not ALU. Im glad they didnt go with old school gauges witch are "for show" with no real use. My only concerens are price (ROG) annnnnd that the print its big enough to read with no squints. I say this because we can already see "the REAL screen" in the pic. Im sure this item just be the POSTER on a larger scale, u can load OC profiles from the current ROG poster too right? If u can then it beats squating down with some lil tool on a flimbsy wire.

Halliburton Worth $46 Despite Nat Gas Glut
NEW YORK (Trefis) -- The natural gas glut in the U.S. could send prices down further as excess production overwhelms the country's underground storage capacity. According to analysts, supply will continue to outpace demand, though the rig count directed at gas wells is beginning to fall. Some even predict that gas prices could fall even further from their present lows of around $2.08/Mcf (or thousand cubic feet of gas), to around $1/Mcf, for a brief period of time. The changing dynamics of the natural gas market could have an impact on the North American earnings of oilfield services provider Halliburton (HAL) and competitors like Schlumberger (SLB) as they are forced to realign their services.
We have a $46 price estimate for Halliburton, which is at a 40% premium to its current market price. Click here for our full analysis of Halliburton.
Pricing Pressure
Competitor Baker Hughes (BHI) released a statement last week that its margins in the North American market could fall by a few percentage points in first-quarter 2012, vs. the last quarter, due to logistical issues and falling utilization. A concentration of industry capacity in liquid-rich plays is also putting pressure on pricing. In addition, since liquids production is almost always associated with gas, the oversupply is expected to continue in the natural gas market.Halliburton has capitalized on the shale boom in the U.S. over the past few years to improve revenue as well as profit margins. However, the success of the industry in unlocking gas reserves has directly contributed to the present supply glut. The mild winter further exacerbated the situation, bringing prices down to their lowest levels of the decade, prompting some producers to announce production cuts.
Some analysts estimate that at present levels of production and consumption, storage facilities in the U.S. could be full by October. With production from existing wells remaining strong, companies will be forced to take steps to slow output from wells or cap some of them.
While low prices have spurred demand from power plants and other users, the glut is expected to continue. The present situation could impact the overall exploration and production budget of gas producers in North America, resulting in lower-than-expected growth for Halliburton's revenue drivers in the region.

The -- -- continues to edge closer to its all time high our next guest says now's the time to dump.
Two of the hottest sectors in the markets housing and financials hot show murder -- stay away from housing and financial stocks his political capital managing partner.
Good to see you -- why do you say and I quote this is a quoting here you hate financials and housing hates.
That's that's right -- lucky you have this administration right now that has the bulge bracket banks and it's cross hairs.
Is sealed now -- Mary Jo White going in as the SEC director of up going forward they're guys I have to say I don't see anything it's gonna help the financials it's at the -- -- human capital that the bulge bracket banks have made able to report solid earnings but going forward.
It need that risk component and it's just not there right now so my question where the revenues are going to be so it's great to sell it to the strength now but I would definitely go on the sidelines -- -- the foreseeable future.
OK and they can understand you're you're you know you're trepidation about maybe the major financials what -- regionals original banks have also been one of the biggest and strongest performers of 2000 while.
Maybe that's a piece of the financial -- alike.
That's right and that's a wild card I would say go to there's regionals look and it's he banks are good -- -- -- -- buffalo.
They took cover a ton of these mortgages from Wells Fargo -- they were able to turn them around.
They are profiting very well that's a great company.
And also look at frost bankers down -- taxes they've done exceptionally well so if you wanna concentrate on there's regionals this would work well for him.
You don't every bank which -- gut guy you're you're nice guy I would note that you do like consumer discretionary I do wonder though.
Which it has again been one of the better sectors of the year over the last year up 21% but.
Paychecks are a lot smaller now are you concerned that this group I -- some pressure.
What could actually -- looked on forward I have to say Cheryl I mean people are going out to continue to spent.
You cannot stop the resiliency of the American consumers so when I look at some of the big box retailers -- start -- Canada's consumer discretionary names they're gonna continue to do well.
And we've seen that look I think a lot of given -- a lot of pent up demand.
Holiday retail sales were not that great and your right to take home pay is a little bit got smaller -- -- go forward for this year what -- your salad.
Certainly is I don't ask you about this also a couple of travel -- picks that you have and I think this is interesting alike and a high it -- like.
I'm Mary -- you know like Carnival cruise line.
Again did during the recession they didn't need too bad -- do you stick with these names again if we don't know what the economy is gonna do after the fiscal -- disaster.
What look here's the difference though with their travel and leisure index the reason why it's doing well it has.
Has done well mainly because a business travelers now you have the actual resort traveler.
They leisure I -- -- and that's why I like a Carnival Cruise -- but people still get sick on these cruises but they're -- -- to that especially the baby boomers say lobbies on inclusive deals.
Carnival is actually going to be one debate winners especially now.
There were in that vacation season people want to get away because of the -- Well part about twenty some percent over the last three don't think that it's got its gonna take a little bit of a pause I mean that's a pretty big -- up for Carnival.
Now you have to have real solid evidence out there -- actually say just because a stock went up.
It's now time to pull back what you wanna say you -- to continue to look at the man.
You still see the average rates for these have for these rooms of these cabins that are going higher right now -- their peak time it's going to continue through Easter.
This is a reason why you want to invest in a Carnival -- -- I would say.
Probably going into the fall -- will be the time you wanna sell off but are right now there's a great time they have to buy that stock and.
-- short term timeframe do you also like love -- else like delta so you've been traveling that's where the -- to come from touch ellenberger thank you -- gives AF.
Thank you -- are likewise.

Class 5A regional quarterfinals: Bishop Kenny at Ponte Vedra, 7:30 p.m.
Records: Bishop Kenny (7-3); Ponte Vedra (9-1)
State rankings: Ponte Vedra is No. 8 in Class 5A.
Winner gets: Winner of Creekside-Baker County. Bishop Kenny would travel to face Baker County, but host Creekside. Ponte Vedra would host either team.
Last week: Bishop Kenny d. West Nassau 21-7; Ponte Vedra d. Interlachen 42-12
Ponte Vedra quickly scored 28 points in the first half against Interlachen on its way to a 42-12 rout on Friday night.
The Sharks played their starters in the first quarter and left the rest of the game to the younger varsity and junior varsity players — in preparation for a first-round playoff game against Bishop Kenny High on Nov. 16.
For the Sharks (9-1), coach Mike Loyd said he was happy the younger players were able to get some playing time on Senior Night.
Interlachen at Ponte Vedra, 7 p.m.
Records: Interlachen (1-8), Ponte Vedra (8-1)
Last week: Bradford d. Interlachen 48-0; Ponte Vedra d. Menendez 38-0
Players to watch: Interlachen, RB DJ Chavis, jr.; LB Dijon Green, sr.; QB Dominique Oliver, jr.; Ponte Vedra, RB Cole Mazza, sr. (1,325 rushing yards); LB Dillon Bates, jr. (2 INTs); QB Matt Deegan, sr. (201 total yards last week).
As Ponte Vedra grouped underneath Creekside's scoreboard for a victory shot — the opponent's scoreboard being as important a part of the picture as any coach or player — the Sharks were able to commemorate a few different things.
A 20-0 win against their rival, their second District 4-5A title in the school's brief history, and maybe, the coronation of a county power for years to come.
In five years — four, according to coach Mike Loyd — Ponte Vedra has asserted itself as a power with two district titles and three straight wins against its closest rival, Creekside.
Run the ball and play physical has been the mantra all year for Ponte Vedra.
The formula worked again in a 31-14 defeat of Palatka Friday night.
The Sharks only threw the ball four times in the contest, running the ball on nearly every down and chewing up large amounts of clock.
Cole Mazza had his sixth 100-plus yard rushing night of the season for the Sharks. In fact he had a 200-plus yard night (223 yards on 35 carries), which made up for the one game where he failed to rush for 100 yards (the season opener against Orange Park). He also had two touchdowns.
Palatka at Ponte Vedra, 7 p.m.
Records: Palatka (2-4, 1-1 in District 4-5A); Ponte Vedra (5-1, 2-0)
Last week: West Nassau d. Palatka 27-21; Ponte Vedra d. Episcopal 42-3
State rankings: Ponte Vedra is No. 10 in Class 5A.
Power comes in many forms, but more often than not, brute strength is its most potent incarnation.
Ponte Vedra's 42-3 victory over Episcopal on Friday came in two ways: its advantages in depth and size. Coach Mike Loyd knew that coming into the game and exploited the weakness all night long.
"We felt coming into the game that our size and depth could wear them down," Loyd said. "Our size advantage is always going to be a strength for us no matter who we play."
Episcopal at Ponte Vedra.
Records: Episcopal (2-3); Ponte Vedra (4-1)
Last Week: Providence d. Episcopal, 42-7; Ponte Vedra d. Matanzas, 34-3
Players to watch: Episcopal, RB Matt Henderson, so.; OL Thomas Vinyard, S/LB Jack Migri, sr.; QB Kyle Taylor, sr.; QB/S Michael Hardy, sr.; Ponte Vedra, RB Cole Mazza, sr. (11 rushing TDs); QB Matt Deegan, sr; LB Dillon Bates, jr.
On a night with conditions well-suited to throwback-style football, Ponte Vedra clearly wore it well in Friday's big victory over Matanzas.
The Sharks pushed the Pirates around a sloppy field in a 34-3 win that pushed Ponte Vedra to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in District 4-5A.
Cole Mazza ran for 142 yards and three touchdowns, adding a touchdown reception as well. Fellow running back Reece Andrews added another 95 yards and a score on 14 rushing attempts.
Matanzas at Ponte Vedra, 7 p.m.
Records: Matanzas (1-3, 0-1 in 4-5A); Ponte Vedra (3-1, 1-0)
Last week: Matanzas was off; Ponte Vedra d. Flagler Palm Coast 28-17
Players to watch: Matanzas, RB De'Undre Lumpkins, jr. (4 rushing TDs); DB Marquese Jones, sr. (32 tackles); QB Jeremiah Wilson, so. (212 passing yards); WR/DB Stefan Tucker, jr. (3 TDs); Ponte Vedra, RB Cole Mazza, sr. (8 rushing TDs); QB Matt Deegan, sr. (3 passing TDs); LB Dillon Bates, jr.; OL Kyle Chung, sr.
PALM COAST — Ponte Vedra needed a tough push up front and got it in the late stages of Friday night's 28-17 non-district victory over Flagler Palm Coast.
Ahead by only three points and with the Bulldogs feeling some momentum after a touchdown of their own, the Sharks went to their key man in Cole Mazza in a 12-play drive. Behind a nice offensive surge, Mazza got to the 5 on 11 carries before Matt Deegan tossed a touchdown pass to Nate Buckley off play action.

On Board at the Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta
On Board at the Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta
As a part of our April issue's 2012 Guide to College Sailing, presented by Sperry Top-Sider, we asked college sailors to share their experiences at the Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta, hosted by the Storm Trysail Foundation and Larchmont YC in October 2011. We received some great entries, the best of which, by USC sailor Brock Kraebel, is featured in the magazine. But we couldn't let all these stories remain hidden, so we've published the other finalists online here.
Homecoming Weekend
An unexpected trip east for the Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta delivers a storybook ending to one college sailing career.
By Brock Kraebel, USC '12
We were 40 minutes into the first leg of the first race of the final day when we found out we had won the regatta. That was when the Race Committee for the Storm Trysail Foundation Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta abandoned the race and all subsequent races for the day because the breeze was too light and shifty to set a fair course.
We held off celebrating winning the J/105 division until we had put away the boat. At the dock, Max Hutcheson, our skipper, couldn't resist taking a celebratory dive into the harbor, though he did have a little help. One by one, we all joined him as our initial silence turned into full jubilation. It was a great end to a weekend where everything seemed to work out just right.
A month earlier, Mike "Sego" Segerblom, the sailing coach for the University of Southern California, had invited me to compete in the IOR, hosted by Larchmont YC on Long Island Sound. I was in the midst of my final semester at USC. After focusing on sailing for the previous four years, I had traded afternoons sailing on Alamitos Bay for long study sessions in USC's climate-controlled library. But I jumped at the chance to sail in one more event.
The regatta was more than just a welcome distraction. Although I grew up on Long Island, my family is rooted in New York City, having lived there for two centuries. The city that my ancestors helped shape was going to serve as the backdrop to my final collegiate sailing regatta.
After a smooth five-hour flight, the USC Offshore Team landed at New York City's John F. Kennedy Airport ready to go to work. Julian Croxall, owner of the J/105 Jouster, met us on the docks of LYC and took us out to his boat with the intention of getting in some practice. While a few teams bring their own boats—namely the nearby Merchant Marine Academy and the New York Maritine Academy—most of the nearly 50 boats are loaned to the regatta by their owners.
Long Island Sound, however, offered up more tide than wind. So we went over some basic boathandling and then headed to shore. There Julian gave us the grand tour of the yacht club. In the club's mahogany walled library, we marveled at the lines of historical yacht replicas, such as Reliance, saw photos of the club's various one-design fleets dating back to the early 20th century, and gazed at our reflections in the club's perpetual trophies. I felt a connection to the sailors in the photographs and the names etched on the trophies.
Julian then led us into a small room that housed a fleet of remote control boats, which club members race on winter weekends. Then he told us that he owned two of the sizeable RC sailboats.
There were smiles all around the moment Julian's two RC boats hit the water. We quickly set up a match-race bracket and started racing. Each sailor was given a four-minute warm up period, followed by a one-minute start for a windward-leeward course. There were moments of laughter, some oooh's and ahhh's, and some heckling on the dock. Julian and I did our best John Madden impressions as we narrated the intense on-water action. Coach Sego emerged victorious, something he didn't let anyone forget for the rest of the trip.
Julian and our team bonded quickly, which our results reflected. I think Julian saw how serious we were taking things, and he matched that. When we went to sign-in for the first day of racing, Julian was nowhere to be found. A club member informed us that he had beaten us to the mooring. He had arrived early to scrub the bottom, tune the rig, and go over every detail on the boat. He even had coffee for us. His preparation, as well as our pre-race tune ups, gave us the confidence we needed to win. I don't know if it made a quantifiable difference in our boatspeed, but the mental edge we gained made us faster and allowed us to live in a tight lane off one start, and ultimately put us at the top of the fleet. After a full day of racing on Saturday and then Sunday's aborted race, the team came off the water happy, and the owner came off the water ecstatic. What could make this weekend any better?
As I headed to the club to dry off after our dip in the harbor, I stopped dead in my tracks. My parents were standing right in front of me. They hadn't even hinted about coming to watch the regatta. My father had heart surgery a week earlier, so I wasn't expecting to see them at all. I couldn't have been any happier; my parents never made it out to the West Coast to watch me race during my time in college. Although my parents weren't able to watch me sail in this regatta either, they were able to see our team pick up trophies for finishing first in the J/105 division and third overall.
In junior sailing, I was embarrassed when my dad would take photos of my friends and me during awards ceremonies. But I didn't mind in the least when my dad broke up the crowd at the awards ceremony, on the front lawn of Larchmont YC, to take my team's picture. In fact, I loved it. The photo's been on my Facebook profile ever since.

Like many people, I have a love/hate relationship with award shows. On one hand I love the glitz and the glamour of the red carpet, the idea of so many famous people being stuffed together in one room, an opportunity to see candid moments among my favorite celebrities as they win (and don't win) awards. On the other hand, ugh. More

York Tea Party
We are a non partisan group of individuals dedicated to increase citizen involvement in government. Many of us believe that the government, at all levels, has become unresponsive to the will of the people. We know that many people feel powerless to affect any positive change and there has been a trend of transfer of power out of the hands of the people and into the hands of a select few in government. This trend has to be reversed and can be. Those who have taken the initiative to find this site or to show up at a TEA Party are the leaders needed to make it happen. Our goal at YorkTeaParty.org is to make maximum use of everyone's efforts. We must get invovled in and take control over every governing body and organization begining in our neighborhood. We can turn the tide from tyranny back toward liberty.

I finally had chance to finish the scarf I was knitting. I hadn't really given it any kind of tame, but someone contacted me for info on how to make it, so I thought I would share.
I am not in a position to type a formal pattern and save as a PDF today, but the general directions are as follows:
Size 8 (US) straight knitting needles
7 ounces (384 yards) worsted weight yarn
Blunt end yarn needle
Cast on 30 stitches
A: Garter stitch for ten rows.
B: Next row, knit across row, but wrap yarn twice around needle instead of once.
Next row, knit across row by knitting only one wrapped strand from previous row.
C: Garter stitch for eight rows.
Repeat B and C above for length of scarf, ending with C.
Bind off.
Weave in yarn ends.
Note: Wrapping yarn twice round your needle, then knitting only one wrapped strand on the following row is how the Drop Stitch is made. Drop Stitches give an airy look to a knitted piece. For this particular scarf, I wanted to knit something while looking out my picture window at our late April snowfall. The Garter Stitch is easy to knit while looking away from my needles, but the Drop Stitch adds enough interest to keep the task from becoming tedious.
I rescued the yarn for the scarf pictured below from a thrift store. There were three skeins of the variegated yarn. The scarf required two, so I have a skein left for matching mittens!
p.s. I knit the little flowers many years ago, but they still look cheery in that little cut glass vase after all these years!

(KHNL) The bandage on Tom Kennedy's left leg covers a gash on his calf from a shark bite that caught him by surprise.
"Initially it didn't hurt so much. It was mostly just fear of a second attack," he said.
The 61-year-old visitor from Oregon was snorkeling with two others. They rode paddle boards to a spot more than 250 yards off the Kihei coastline.
Kennedy said he felt a tug and looked down to see his leg in the shark's mouth.
"It released me. So I started swimming as fast as I could. I would guess I was a still a hundred yards from my board," he said. "As I went further, I started to bleed. I could see a string of blood, which was my next concern."
Kennedy climbed on his paddle board. He and his companions got the attention of a crew from Wailea Canoe Club.
"People who were in a canoe were in the area, so they brought him in," eyewitness Ryan Suda said. "They said he was standup paddle boarding like a lot of people do. They'll standup paddle board out to an area and go snorkeling. I do that myself."
"We had very quick response. Police and EMT's were there right away," Kennedy said.

LOS ANGELES — Every Super Bowl Sunday yields a winner and a loser.
Puppy Bowl, though, yields the same winner year after year: animal shelters.
The show, animal workers say, provides national exposure to shelters nationwide that provide the puppy athletes (and the kittens that star in the halftime show), and introduces viewers to the different breeds and animals that need homes.
Many shelters see bumps in visits from viewers who are inspired to adopt a pet.
"It raises awareness for our shelter and others that take part," said Madeline Bernstein, president and CEO of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles.
Puppy Bowl, an annual two-hour TV special that mimics a football game with canine players, made its debut eight years ago on the Animal Planet network. Dogs score touchdowns on a 10-by-19-foot gridiron carpet when they cross the goal line with a toy. There is a most valuable pup award, a water-bowl cam, a new lipstick cam (it's in the lips of the toys), slow-motion cameras, hedgehog referees, a puppy hot tub and a blimp with a crew of hamsters. Bios on each puppy player flash across the screen during close-ups of the action, letting viewers know how to find each animal for adoption.
Most of the puppies, however, are usually adopted by airtime because the show is filmed months ahead, said executive producer Melinda Toporoff. But Bernstein said the point is to show that animals just like the ones on the show can be found at any shelter at any time.
About 300 puppies and kittens have been featured on Puppy Bowl during the past decade, according to Pet finder.com, the country's largest online pet-adoption database, which helps cast the show's animal stars.
"Shelters and rescues are at capacity, and pet adoption is the responsible way to add to your family," said Sara Kent, who oversees outreach to the 14,000 shelters and rescues with which Petfinder works.
The inaugural Puppy Bowl, which was promoted as an alternative to the Super Bowl, had 22 puppies and was watched by nearly 6 million viewers. Almost 9 million people tuned in last year and an additional 1.4 million watched via video streams, Toporoff said. Puppy Bowl IX will feature 84 animals: 21 kittens from a New York shelter for the halftime show and 63 puppies from 23 shelters.
Bernstein said they try to find rambunctious, energetic puppies to enter in the bowl. But, even if a dog falls asleep on its way to the end zone, the footage can be funny. All breeds are considered because "We try to reflect what's out there in the adoption world," Toporoff said.

Well thats thing too, to get the barrel color matched its an extra $30, which is for a cheap guy not the way to go. I'm planning on getting a j12 if Pinnacle Paintball offers me a free full barrel kit with it otherwise I may get a s6 if i can convince myself that the back block wont smoke me in the face every single time i pump it.
And yes already an interested party for a barrel kit!

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
works WONDERS on thicker, naturally wavy hair, especially if used on damp, post-shower hair before blow drying! super smooth and moisturizing, fixes rough ends, and you only need a little bit!
Don't be fooled by the price, a bottle last me at least 6 months. I LOVE IT! I have fine curly color-treated hair and this product is the one thing that has saved it! My hair is smoother and shinier when I use it. Mix it with a little bit of the cream for extra smoothness!
I would give 10 stars if I could. This product is amazing! I can not be without this oil. I use it as an overnight treatment or to just add shine. My hair has never been this healthy! This product is hair magic!
Expensive but worth every penny. I bought the bottle after getting a sample in my box. It makes hair extremely soft and manageable. Looks very polished and smooth.
I bought the large size and its worth every penny! it was really light and leaves a nice shine. I used it when my hair was straight or when its was in a curly afro!
This is IT for me! I have oily hair and was extremely skeptical about putting more OIL on my hair. The concept was foreign to me. After a cut/color months ago, my stylist used this on my hair. Before I even touched my hair, I was sold on the scent! This truly smells like a fresh floral perfume and the scent lasts long after application. I don't put this near the roots of my hair because it does seem to make my hair 'slick', but it works beautifully to create soft, smooth, sleek, shiny locks on the lengths of my hair. I have used a similar nourishing oil that weighed my hair down, but this oil is nourishing but light. I have used it almost daily, and my hair has never looked or felt healthier.
This smells amazing! Have been using it as a leave-in and truly have noticed an improvement in the texture of my hair after only a week. Totally worth it.
Perfect for right after the shower-keeps my flyaways in check. Also great (a teeny tiny bit) on dry hair to keep it sleek and to control frizz.
I received this as a sample- it smells fabulous. I used it very sparingly and it never felt like it was weighing my hair down. the full size product is a little expensive- but I think it would be good especially in the summer when my hair gets a bit more dry.
I have very thick hair and sometimes hard to manage. This oil I used after blow drying and I was amazed how calm, not oily, but soft my hair felt. I still had some body it did not make it flat to my head. I was so disappointed when it was gone.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- There's no quarterback controversy for coach Steve Spurrier at No. 9 South Carolina, even after backup Dylan Thompson threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 48-10 win over East Carolina.
Instead, Spurrier said he now just has two guys who can play the position well.
Spurrier said after the game that injured starter Connor Shaw will start next week for the Gamecocks (2-0) against UAB if he recovers from his bruised throwing shoulder.
"If Connor is 100 percent, he's our guy," Spurrier said. "Now we know if something happens to Connor, Dylan can go in there."
Thompson's 330 yards beat Shaw's career-best game of 311 yards, and the passing game looked vastly better than last week, when the Gamecocks threw for just 67 yards and completed only seven passes against Vanderbilt. But Thompson told reporters that Shaw is a great player who deserves to stay the starter.

"I'm just the backup quarterback. My role is to be ready when I am called," Thompson said.
The sophomore's first completion was a 53-yard pass to Damiere Byrd. He finished the game 21 of 37, averaging almost 16 yards per completion. He did not throw an interception.
The rejuvenated passing game allowed Spurrier to use star running back Marcus Lattimore sparingly. He gained 40 yards on 13 carries, although he did have a rushing touchdown that tied him for the most touchdowns in school history at 33 with Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers and Harold Green.
Spurrier said before the game that Shaw could play if he was needed after bruising his right shoulder in last week's win. After the win, he said the junior's shoulder hurt so bad he could only go in an emergency.
Thompson's play made that decision easy. After throwing two incompletions to start the game, he completed his next five passes as the Gamecocks jumped to a 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
In fact, Thompson's only bad decision came late in the fourth quarter when he took on a defender as he tried to run the ball in for a touchdown on a third-and-19 with the Gamecocks up 31 points. Their helmets collided, and Thompson fumbled it away. Spurrier shook his head, smiled and patted his QB on the back when he got back to the sideline.
"Don't ever do that again," Spurrier told him.
Spurrier didn't let up. South Carolina threw the ball or planned to throw it on 14 of 19 plays in the fourth quarter. Wide receiver Ace Sanders took a lateral and threw a 16-yard touchdown to D.L. Moore, then third string quarterback Seth Strickland threw a 51-yard touchdown pass to tight end Rory Anderson with 44 seconds left.
Spurrier said he asked offensive line coach Shawn Elliott what they should do late in the game.
"I like it when the line coach says keep throwing," said Spurrier, who won his 199th career game.
Anderson caught four passes for 90 yards, and Bruce Ellington had four receptions for 63 yards. South Carolina quarterbacks completed passes to 11 different receivers and threw for 397 yards. The Gamecocks gained 528 yards total.
"Probably today the ball was in the air more distance than any game I've coached here," Spurrier said.
Before the game, several receivers came into Thompson's hotel room to tell him they knew he could win. Spurrier shared a Bible verse with his deeply religious backup that said God is with him wherever he goes.
"I appreciated that and the 9 million other Bible verses people are sending me," Thompson said.
East Carolina (1-1) gained 403 yards. But the Pirates turned the ball over five times, including four interceptions and a fumble in just 16 plays.
"We didn't help ourselves with turnovers. Against a great team like South Carolina, they don't need our help," Pirates coach Ruffin McNeill said.
Rio Johnson got the start again at quarterback, but for most of the second half, McNeill went with Shane Carden, who broke his finger during spring drills.
Carden led the Pirates on their only two scoring drives, including waiting out the rush to throw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Justin Hardy that cut South Carolina's lead to 41-10 with nine minutes left in the game.
Carden was 12 of 18 for 140 yards and an interception, while Johnson completed 18 of 29 passes for 193 yards and three interceptions.
McNeill said he will have to look at the film before deciding which of his four quarterbacks to start next week against Southern Mississippi.
Hardy caught eight passes for 111 yards for East Carolina.
It was a good day all the way around for Gamecocks fans. The school opened its new $30 million tailgating area across from the stadium and started a tradition that has the players walk through the crowd to the stadium. The area included trees whose leaves will change color to South Carolina garnet instead of Clemson orange in the fall. The school also turned on its new 36-foot tall, 124-foot wide video board that cost $6.5 million.
But the stadium emptied out quickly on a hot, humid day, and Spurrier noticed.
"Fans, stay in the ballpark a little longer," Spurrier said. "The party will wait."
Damiere Byrd makes a 53-yard grab early for South Carolina, nearly topping the Gamecocks' Week 1 total of 67 yards. (US Presswire) |

PHASE-CHANGING MATERIAL: When the temperature (and/or pressure) rises or drops to the point at which materials change from a liquid to a gas or a solid to a liquid, that's called a phase change or transition. Water (H2O) is the most familiar example. It can be a solid (ice), a liquid (water), or a gas (steam), but it is still made up of molecules of H2O, so its chemical composition remains unchanged. At sea level, water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius), but this behavior changes at different altitudes because the atmospheric pressure changes. In fact, get the pressure low enough and water will boil at room temperature. This phenomenon is used with a new type of roofing material, which allows much of the heat energy to go toward changing the phase of a material, which slows abrupt temperature changes.
HOW INSULATION WORKS: Heat only flows in one direction: from a hotter object to a colder one, such as when your morning cup of coffee cools until it is the same temperature as your kitchen. Insulation serves as a barrier to minimize the transfer of heat from one material (the coffee) to another (the air around you). For example, pouring your coffee into a thermos made of an insulating material will slow the rate of cooling and your coffee will stay hotter longer. Heat is transferred primarily through conduction, which occurs when materials directly contact each other. The atoms and molecules bump into those of the neighboring material, allowing energy to flow between them. Heat can also be transferred through convection. This happens with the flow of air and water. These substances don't readily conduct heat, but they can transfer heat energy through motion. Finally, hot objects emit infrared light, which can cause them to lose heat by transferring that energy to other objects -- heating up those objects in the process.

The inaugural BET Experience has already seen enough action (Beyoncé! Snoop Dogg! Kendrick Lamar! Erykah Badu! The Roots!), but don't forget what anchors the three-day festival: an awards show.
Since its inception in 2001, the BET Awards has cemented itself as a can't-miss event.
Routinely one of BET's highest-rated programs -- 2012's attracted 7.4 million viewers -- the awards might have come to life for the tens of thousands who flocked to L.A. to go to the concerts, celebrity panels or any of the events tied to the festival.

But what does the cable network have in store for the millions tuning into Sunday's telecast?
Inside Nokia Theatre early Saturday evening, BET Awards executive producer Stephen Hill took a break from rehearsals to let us pick his brain about what to expect.
Here are five things to look forward to tonight. But beware, there's some major spoilers ahead:
1. A bigger production. Last year, the network announced that it had teamed with AEG to move the show from its former home of the Shrine Auditorium to the Nokia Theatre, inside the glitzy L.A. Live complex. The move to a newer venue (it opened in 2007) gave producers more space to play.
"The question was, how can we take a show where its secret sauce is kind of being intimate and big at the same time?" Hill said. "We did that very well at the Shrine. How do we continue that here at the Nokia Theatre?"
That big feel comes courtesy of a flashy set that envelops the venue with a smattering of video screens onstage and on the walls around the audience. Hill said it was their "subtle way of saying the stage doesn't end at the stage."

2. Star power. BET never skimps on star wattage for its annual spectacle. And this year's bill is no different.
Expect performances by Janelle Monáe, T.I., Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Jamie Foxx, Kirk Franklin, Pharrell Williams, Tamela Mann, 2 Chainz, Ciara, India Arie, Stevie Wonder and acts that have already played at this weekend's BET Experience, Badu, Kirk Franklin, Miguel, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and R. Kelly -- who will close the awards with a performance from across the street at Staples Center, where he will headline the final night of concerts alongside New Edition and the Jacksons.
At rehearsal, we spotted 2 Chainz flanked by his entourage ahead of his rehearsal. The in-demand rapper has logged so many guest verses over the last year that he has a wealth of material to choose from. We couldn't stick around for his run-through, but a source tells us that he's tapped Lamar and ASAP Rocky to do some of their smash, " … Problems" sans Drake, who dropped out of the lineup.
3. The Charlie Wilson tribute. You'd be hard-pressed to find another awards ceremony that fetes its lifetime achievement recipients better than BET, and it has long made its tribute segment one of the show's most exhilarating moments, an easy feat considering BET has managed to give some of black music's most revered artists their flowers when they can still smell them. Although Hill was tight-lipped about what's in store, we spotted that one portion of the tribute features a dream team: Timberlake, Snoop and Pharrell. And that's just one portion of the tribute, which will span Wilson's influence both as frontman of R&B and funk outfit the Gap Band and his work as a solo artist.
TIMELINE: Summer's must-see concerts
4. The race for video of the year. Seemingly taking a cue from the Academy Awards, the night's biggest award, video of the year, will feature 10 entries this year. The race features a formidable roster of smash hits including "Thrift Shop," "Adorn," "Diamonds," "Suit & Tie" and "Mercy," along with five songs that feature Drake in some capacity. His singles "HYFR" and "Started From the Bottom" will compete against his collaborations with 2 Chainz ("No Lie"), Lamar ("Poetic Justice") and ASAP Rocky ("Problems"), giving the Young Money star an unparalleled leg up.
5. A "space-defining" opening. We asked Hill to tease the opening, which he would only call "space defining." He wouldn't spill any more details, but here's what we do know. Brown is slated to open the show with a medley of tracks from his upcoming album, "X," including singles "Fine China" the Aaliyah-sampling "Don't Think They Know" and a new tune with Minaj (we hear she's going to pop up during Ciara's performance for their summer anthem "I'm Out").
As for what makes the performance "space-defining"? Keep a close eye above the audience.
"We've got an opening that shows you immediately that we're in a new place," Hill teased. "We really get to explore the dimensions of the building. If we're going to be here, we might as well explore all opportunities."

During his brief visit to Northwest Missouri State University on Friday, Gov. Jay Nixon held the school up as a model for the kind of efficiency and accountability he hopes his proposed plan for performance-based funding of higher education will produce on campuses statewide.
"Instead of funding colleges and universities based merely on what they have received in the past, we will tie new funding to specific performance goals," Nixon said.
"Making sure taxpayer dollars are used efficiently and effectively is the right thing to do, and how we invest in higher education should be no exception."
Nixon set forth the performance-based funding proposal last month in his annual budget address to the General Assembly. If adopted, the spending template would reward some colleges and universities more than others provided they meet goals in such areas as student retention and graduation.
After praising Northwest's "impressive record of success" in those and other areas, the governor took pains to emphasize the importance of higher education to what he described as an improving state economy.
"As a result of our relentless focus on fiscal discipline and job creation, businesses are hiring, our economy is growing and we now have an opportunity to make smart, strategic investments in higher education that will expand opportunities for students and strengthen our economy for years to come," Nixon said. "The No. 1 economic development tool we have is education."
Under the performance-based plan, which must still be passed by the Missouri House and Senate, Northwest would receive a 4.3 percent appropriations increase for the 2013-'14 academic year. That translates to an additional $1.26 million and reflects the fact that Northwest has met each of five performance benchmarks.
However, the actual boost from state appropriations to Northwest's bottom line would be only about $900,000, since Nixon's budget proposal reduces baseline funding for the state's network of four-year universities and two-year community colleges.
Northwest received 29.7 million in core state funding for the current fiscal year, a number that would be trimmed to $29.3 million in 2013-'14. The institution has an academics/operations budget of approximately $82 million.
Overall, Nixon's budget includes an increase of $34 million for higher education through performance-based funding in addition to a core appropriation of $849.9 million.
In earning a full measure of the proposed performance funds, Northwest administrators had to demonstrate that the institution met all five benchmarks incorporated into the governor's plan.
These goals call for improved freshman retention, improved graduation rates, higher test scores, lower administrative overhead or an improved overall financial position, and an "institution specific" goal, which for Northwest embraced additional support for scholarships and financial aid.
Speaking to reporters following the governor's remarks, Northwest President John Jasinski said that the university would not "water down" academic standards in a bid to strengthen freshman retention or hand out more diplomas.
Page 2 of 2 - He said retention and graduation rates along with affordability were important, but that "quality education" would remain Northwest's overriding goal.

GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) -- Several college students are recovering from injuries after a crowded deck collapsed at a beach house in Gulf Shores.
WRKG-TV reports that at least six people were taken to a hospital Monday afternoon complaining of head and neck injuries and a few broken bones.
Initial estimates put 15 to 20 people on the deck. But a photo taken moments before the collapse shows the number could be higher.
Alex Logue says he was on his way to the house when he heard a huge cracking sound and then saw the deck fall.
Gary Drake is staying across the street and also witnessed the crash. He says people scattered like an ant hill that had been disturbed.

The second step to get into the unexplored territory of the kingdom of God is to become a son of God.
How does man become a son of God?
That is when he believes in Jesus Christ and repents from his sins.
Try to imagine that you are the son of God, the Creator of heaven and earth… this makes you dangerous and untouchable because your Dad is the Supreme Authority!
No one and nothing could touch you without His permission. Even your very hair is accounted for. This means that no one could touch the least part of your body, like the hair, without His permission!
Your Father is the owner of the whole universe - He is the CEO of the Kingdom, the Son, Jesus Christ is the COO and we, the sons, are the managers of the Kingdom (the sons are the ones running the family business).
The Son made us "sons" by redeeming and restoring us into His Kingdom. The Son redeemed the sons in order for them to liberate the whole creation. That is the task of man, who is the son. Adam, the first son, lost the Kingdom when he fell into sin in the garden but the Son, Jesus Christ, regained the Kingdom in the same garden: Gethsemane. Gethsemane means "get same man"! So when the Son regained this Kingdom, He was given all authority in heaven and on earth. And that authority, He shared it with the sons. As the bible says…
Mat 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Mat 28:19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Mat 28:20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
The Son is the perfect image of the Father while the son (man) is the image of the Son. So now, man has a relationship again with God the Father. When man fell into sin through Adam, man became the son of the devil. But this time, he is the son of God again through Jesus Christ. This makes life exciting! Exciting means you are free from worries, struggles and most of all free from the power of the enemy.
So when you approach God, you approach Him as your Daddy. This is your direct access to the King of the universe, as a son. If you have problems in life, you can easily share it to Him because He is your Father. You can share to Him even your emotions or anything that concerns you.
You are not only a son, but also you are a co-heir with the Son, which means everything the Son owns, you own it also. The Son owns the whole universe. Imagine the whole universe or the unexplored territory… that is what you own! Sometimes your life is so boring because you don't know this truth; you don't know that you are a son of the living God; you don't know that you belong to the royal family of the King of the whole universe.
The main business of the sons is dominion. It means, they are the controller of the planet earth. As the bible states…
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." (Gen 1:26)
The sons are the controller of every circumstance in life, controller of nature on earth, and controller of every creation on earth. We, the sons, are in the best and most exciting business here on earth. You don't have to worry for your provision if you are in the business. Everything is provided by the Father – the CEO, even your wants!

Because of political uncertainty, the Nepalese capital market has gone through fluctuations in recent days. The secondary market has declined once again after the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly (CA). However, with the progress in the peace and constitution writing processes earlier, the share market had witnessed a bullish trend.
Laxman Kafle of The Rising Nepal caught up with Anjan Raj Poudyal, President of the Stock Brokers Association Nepal, to talk about the recent fluctuations of the Nepalese secondary market and some other issues.
What is the present status of the Nepalese secondary market?
With the new political development, our secondary market has been fluctuating significantly. When there was progress in the peace process and the writing of the new constitution, the NEPSE index had improved suddenly. It suddenly grew and exceeded 400 points. This was hovering at around 300 points. The investors confidence level had boosted up with the progress in the peace process. But now their level of confidence has declined. The dissolution of the CA has dashed the investors hopes. At present, the investors want to sell their shares because they think that the share market could further decline in the days ahead.
We do not have enough institutional investors in the market. This is a major drawback. We have more individual investors in the market. When there are minor changes in the political sphere and rumours that the price of shares could fall, the individual investors become ready to sell their shares. However, the share market is not in a critical situation; it has just gone down.
What are the main factors affecting the NEPSE index?
Basically, the share market is closely linked with the political system. So, the political situation is one of the main factors to affect the capital market. We can now see the reflection of the new political development in the share market. Similarly, as our market is mainly based on individual investors, the general rumors and minor political changes affect their minds. If we had more institutional investors, the market would not have been fluctuated widely.
Lack of knowledge among investors is another factor to hit the share market. Investors are found making investments in the secondary market without analyzing the future.
How do you find the psychology of investors at present?
As the secondary market depends on political situation, the investors are in a wait and see position. They watch out the political development and this drives the market track. In other countries, politics does not affect the share market significantly.
In Nepal, the continued political unrest and the dissolution of the CA has panicked the investors. Despite such a panic, investors invest in institutions having good performance.
Investors often blame the government for failing to come up with proper policies targeting the share market. What do you say about this?
This is true that the successive governments have failed to introduce effective policies for the development of the share market. It has also been unable to bring the manufacturing and trading companies into the NEPSE. The government should offer lucrative schemes to include them in stock market. We are confident that our market will grow once we include them in the NEPSE. Although the banks and financial institutions account for about 85 per cent of the share market, the government has yet to coordinate with the concerned authorities. The government has introduced some policies and laws. But it has not implemented them properly.
The Ministry of Finance, the Nepal Rastra Bank, the Security Board Nepal, Stock Exchange Limited, Insurance Board and Beema Samiti should go ahead jointly for the development of the share market.
The capital market is one of the major indicators of the national economy. What are your suggestions for the government to enhance it?
The government should be privatize the stock market to develop the share market in long-term. We have raised voices for privatization of the stock market, but the government has thought of opening a new capital market. It is better to privatize the market rather than opening new ones.
Besides, there should be good coordination among the government and the concerned bodies for introducing more effective policies and implementing them. The Central Depository System (CDS) and the concept of mutual funds need to be enforced immediately as they are the basic factors to lead the market towards a positive direction. The CDS and the mutual funds could not be implemented despite the governments plan during the last two years because of lack of cooperation among the concerned authorities.
Similarly, the government should impose a transaction tax by removing the capital gain tax. The investors are forced to pay the capital gain tax in some transactions even after they face a loss in other investments. At present, the government has imposed a 5 per cent capital gain tax on individual investors and 10 per cent capital gain tax on institutional investors.
The government should charge only about 0.1 per cent transaction cost. It could fix the transaction cost by holding discussions with the concerned bodies.
Improved software of the stock market is essential because the software frequently creates problems.
CDS and mutual funds are in the offing. How will they help improve the capital market?
Definitely, the share market will be improved with the implementation of the CDS and mutual funds. Currently, the investors are facing hurdles while making transactions. With the implementation of CDS, the investors will be able to sell their shares by splitting them. Now it is very difficult to divide the shares. After the implementation of the mutual funds, the investments will be increased and the market will be expanded significantly.
The general people started standing in long queues for purchasing primary shares for the last two years.
Really, most of the general people, who apply for the IPO shares, do not have enough knowledge about the share market. They invest without any analysis of the share market, but they think of earning money from shares. They begin thinking of selling their shares when they get some more amounts than their cost prices. Such investors are attracted towards short-term gains. If an institution has to get registered with the NEPSE, its transactions will start from minimum three times to maximum five times of the net value of the companies.
The investment in the IPO is profitable. Although the secondary market is potential for investment, most of the individuals involved in the IPO do not get involved in the secondary market due to lack of knowledge.
When there are rumours in the market, some big investors and brokers play games and control the share market. What is your opinion?
This statement is often raised by the media and the general people. But in reality, big investors and the brokers cannot fluctuate the market in long-term. The investors could control the market and they could make artificial increments in the NEPSE index as per their wish in the past when our capital market was very narrow and limited investors were involved in the market. Now our market has become wider and many investors are joining it. Such a situation, they cannot control the market.
Sometimes big investors control the market for one or two days, but they fail to control market in long-term. There is no possibility of the share market being controlled by big investors. When the number of listed companies has been increasing, the number of investors and the turnovers also are also on the rise. The regulatory bodies should also be involved actively in monitoring for improving the market.
How is the future of the Nepalese stock market?
Although the share market could not develop as per its need, its future is good. This market will grow with the development of the countrys economic condition. In terms of the share market, we have lagged behind other countries in the SAARC. However, we see a golden future of the stock market if the country does not fall into a war and the political uncertainty does not last longer.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Psalms - Chapter 122
Rabbi Jack Abramowitz
Yerushalayim Habinuyah
David says that he rejoiced when people were anxious for the Temple to be built, even though it would not occur in his lifetime. He envisions Jerusalem "built up" with G-d's Presence, like its counterpart in Heaven.
The Tribes of Israel went to Shilo when they entered Israel, to give thanks to the name of the G-d. In Jerusalem, thrones were established for the Davidic dynasty. Pray for the peace and prosperity of Jerusalem, which is good all of Israel.
David says he will speak of peace within Jerusalem for the sake of the people, and he will request good things for them for the sake of the Temple. (This last section is familiar as "L'maan Achai V'Reiyai," a phrase found in song and in prayer.)

Moving onto the interior, the customizations don't stop. It is entirely finished out in Rustic Burgundy ultra leather and leather that looks awesome with the Silver paint. The high back bucket seats are extremely comfortable and looks great. The dash and rear package area have been custom smoothed out to give it a very clean and finished look. One of the coolest features on this car is something you may not notice when you first walk up. Get close to a lot of those features that appear Black and you will be pleasantly surprised when they turn out to all be carbon fiber. This custom has a carbon fiber dash insert, glove box, console, shifter, and more. If there was any question as to the quality of the build just check out the rocker panels. The attention to detail on this car is unmatched because even these are all custom carbon fiber! Mounted to the dash you will see the all white faced Autometer Phantom gauges which really pop next to the custom insert. In the custom center console you will find the pistol grip style shifter and added SS emblem that looks great. All of the knobs, switches, door handles, and window cranks shine like new and are all in place. The roll cage is a safety feature you will hopefully never need but it certainly adds to the tough look and was all painted to match the car. The Billet Specialties aluminum tilt column is topped with a billet wheel that is also wrapped in Burgundy.
As if you haven't figured it out already this is one awesome muscle car. It needs absolutely nothing and is practically new. The speed, style, and customizations were all wrapped up in this classic which will make somebody a great new car! This is a one of a kind car being offered up at a fraction of
what was invested at $83,400.00!
