We're proud to be part of LOVE THE BROADS – helping to protect the places that we all love to visit
We know that our unique Broads wetlands, their wonderful wildlife and around 125 miles of waterways draw millions of visitors every year, but those visitors also impact on the environment and facilities.
Love the Broads is a visitor giving scheme for the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads which aims to inspire people to care for the environment through making a small voluntary donation at key tourism sites, through their accommodation provider, or by giving money directly. If every visitor to the Broads gave just £1 it could raise £7 million each year for projects to protect the Broads in the future. It is administered by the Broads Trust, an independent charity with Trustees from local businesses, the Broads Society and the Broads Authority. The money raised goes towards supporting projects across the Broads which are delivered by many committed organisations which are working hard to protect and support our beautiful landscape, our local communities and our traditional heritage so the Broads remain an amazing and beautiful place to visit.
Through the collective power of small donations, visitors can do something extra for a place that has given them a lovely time, the tourism businesses get positive publicity and know they are helping to protect their investment, and the Broads get additional vital funding they need.
Currently, some of the projects that are receiving support and funding through Love the Broads are:
Broads by Bike
The project will benefit visitors and local cyclists touring the Broads area by bicycle by ensuring easier navigation along the various Broads by Bike routes, ensuring visitors are more easily able to keep to the designated routes and to pass and stop at the various points of interest, attractions, and refreshment stops along the way. The Grant will fund the design and printing of signage which will be put in place by volunteers.
Carlton & Oulton Marshes Nature Reserve
The project will enable visitors and local people to enjoy the fabulous wildlife of Suffolk Wildlife Trust's Broadland Nature Reserve at Carlton & Oulton Marshes by updating an all-weather, accessible, circular footpath around the marshes. The Grant will pay for the materials to deliver this much needed project with volunteers undertaking the work.
Barn Owl Boxes
Once a familiar site in the Broads and surrounding villages barn owls have become an increasingly uncommon sight. Seventeen barn owl boxes have been installed, increasing the habitat to help sustain breeding pairs. Landowners at four of the sites have also agreed to undertake further habitat improvements. The Love the Broads grant was also used as "match funding" for a further £2,000 from the Norfolk Biodiversity Project for an education pack. The Hawk and Owl Trust will start work on the education materials in autumn 2014, with the pack ready for 2015. Good news – a pair of barn owls has already moved into one of the Love the Broads funded boxes on the River Yare.
Dairy Barns is proud to be a supporter of Love the Broads – many of our guests are only too happy to contribute to the scheme through the optional donation we add onto bookings. It's really quite exciting knowing that we are helping to make a difference.

Christmas activities for kids are the best way to spend time together over the festive season. There are so many games and crafts to choose from, you'll have trouble fitting Santa in!
The build up to Christmas and the Day itself offer the perfect excuse to try out lots of homeschooling craft activities and games.
The choice is overwhelming, so I'm going to pick out a few of our homeschooling favorites to give you a flavor.
This is the time to get together a treasure chest of craft materials.
Kids activities and games always look so much better if you have top quality homeschool materials to hand.
A basic homeschooling hoard of glitter, silver and gold spray paint, glue, tissue paper, sparkly pipe cleaners, pom-poms, sequins...you don't have to do too much more for anything your child makes to look great.
Snowflakes make fantastic homeschool Christmas activities for kids. There are lots of ways to make them look good.
Whatever your kids turn out, I am certain that whoever gets them will be infinitely more pleased than with the best shop-bought version. They also make fabulous homeschooling Christmas activities for kids.
Put Santa and a Snowman together with snow to make a magical scene in winter crafts for kids.
Another fun kids activity in the build up to the Day would be to use our free kids writing worksheets to write about your best Christmas present.
One look at the trees and reindeer reminds you that the festive period is the perfect time to add a few science experiments into your Christmas activities for kids!
See what happens to the tree when you add it into a lava lamp!
The perfect answer to mini homeschool Christmas trees. They are beautiful just as they are, but one of the great festive homeschooling activities is to add a little extra sparkle. You can:
This takes a little effort, but it's one of those homeschooling Christmas activities for kids that rewards in many ways. It's great to do and adds to the fun and games of the day itself.
I have to say I cheat. I buy a pre-made cracker kit. It comes complete with a snap (which makes the bang), hats and a shiny foil case. You could certainly make homeschooling ones yourself, though maybe your crackers would have to be the silent version.
We enjoy:
Who hides in the bakery at Christmas?
A mince spy!
Christmas crackers look great on the table and the kids really look forward to pulling them
Math may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to Christmas, but actually many popular games, like Monopoly for example, use math.
It just so happens that some of our favorite homeschooling Christmas games for kids involve numbers - and you can see lots of our favorites in our page on homeschool Christmas Math.
Go present shopping, bake a chocolate log, (pumpkin pie is just as good), and sing The Twelve Days of Christmas - you'll see lots more homeschool Christmas games for kids here.
In a short page like this I can't possibly do justice to all the Christmas activities for kids you can choose from - my hope is that I've encouraged you to have a go yourself by giving you a small taste of Christmas.

We, humans, have in our retina two types of photoreceptor cells: the cones for daylight vision and color vision, and the more sensitive rods for night vision.
This is also the case with most mammals.
But nocturnal bats were traditionally believed to have just rods. Bats are assigned to two evolutionary groups (which many believe to have different origins): lesser bats (Microchiroptera) and Old World fruit bats or greater bats (Megachiroptera).
The names are somehow misleading as the largest Microchiroptera can be larger than smaller Megachiroptera, even if some Megachiroptera - such as flying foxes (Pteropus species) - can be enormous (for the bat standard).
Microbats do echolocate, but Megachiroptera does not (except for the genus Rousettus). Moreover, Megachiroptera have large eyes, developed brain visual centers (Microchiroptera have developed auditory centers). Flying foxes often employ exposed treetops as daytime roosts, where they form large colonies.
Greater bats forage at night for nectar and fruit, using visual and olfactory clues.
While navigating to the foraging grounds at dusk and the return to the daytime roost at dawn, the animals employ just vision, and on moonless nights, they cannot fly so they remain hungry. Visual navigation at twilight and occasionally during the daytime made researchers challenge the old concept that fruit bats only possess rods for night vision.
Cone cells would have helped the bats in spotting predators and for social interactions at roost during the daytime.
A team made of Brigitte Müller and Leo Peichl at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt and Steven Goodman at The Field Museum for Natural History in Chicago has found that nocturnal fruit bats (flying foxes) do possess cones in addition to rods. The team stained the retinas of various fruit bat species with visual pigment-specific antibodies, to detect photoreceptor cells types.
Cone photoreceptors made about 0.5 % of the photoreceptor cells. "This share of cones appears small, but from studies of other night-active mammals we know that it allows daylight vision", said Müller. Cats and dogs have 2-4 % cones, and humans, with highly developed diurnal vision just 5 % cones. "The retina of flying foxes is no 'evolutionary quirk', but conforms to the general mammalian blueprint that comprises rods and cones", said Müller.
Flying fox species have been found to possess two spectral cone types, blue cones that track short-wave light, and green cones for middle-to-long-wave light.
This dichromatic color vision is one of the most common mammalian conditions (human, monkeys, birds have trichromatic vision, having also red cones). The retinas of other three studied genera of Megachiroptera: Rousettus (rousette fruit bat), Eidolon (straw colored fruit bat), and Epomophorus (epauleted fruit bat) lacked the blue cones, possessing just green cones. "With just one cone type, spectral discriminations are not possible, so these species must be color blind. A loss of blue cones is a rare event in evolution, it has been found in only a few mammals." said Peichl.
This was linked to the behavior of these bats. Flying foxes (Pteropus) roost in large open treetops, where they are exposed to birds of prey, as their too big to employ tree hollows or small caves (these bats can reach 1.8 m (6 ft) in wingspan and 1 kg (2.5 pounds) in weight). That's why they need visual 'early warning' to survive. "Furthermore, flying foxes don't sleep all day; they often change their positions in the tree and interact with their neighbors. Young flying foxes also make training flights during the day. All these daytime activities require visual capabilities", said Müller.
In contrast, much smaller Rousettus roosts in caves (that's why they need echolocation, as there is total darkness), and Epomophorus in the darkest parts of large trees, explaining their somewhat smaller eyes, lower cone densities, and no color vision. "In our outdoor enclosures, flying foxes roost openly during daytime, whereas the other genera retreat to darkened sleeping cubicles", said Dana LeBlanc of the Lubee Bat Conservancy in Florida.
Still, while searching for food at night, the bats rely on the more sensitive rods that convey no color information. Cones are used more in twilight and dawn light navigation.

I hope this location doesn't fall into the same mediocricity of the rest of that strip of Yonge...
The Burger's Priest (Yonge St.)
The Burger's Priest has, without any irony, developed a pretty ardent cult following. Opened in the summer of 2010, Shant Mardirosian's local paean to flat top franchise In-N-Out has conquered Toronto's burger scene in just one short year.
Openly aping In-N-Out's fresh, never frozen beef philosophy (also: the franchise's secret menu), the Priest has attracted a steady stream of burger fans from across the GTA willing to make the pilgrimage to Queen and Coxwell.
The fast food restaurant caused a local frenzy when news broke it would be opening a more subway accessible second location on Yonge Street north of Lawrence Avenue (you'll still have a bit of a walk from the station). After some initial delays, the highly anticipated expansion debuted roughly a week ago, and it hasn't taken long for the new Priest to attract a flock.
Two days after opening, a weeknight visit finds the restaurant so full we can't even squeeze ourselves into the door. From afar it looks as though the small storefront is trying to set a Guinness World Record for most patrons rammed into a single hamburger joint.
A return trip on Friday afternoon proves more manageable. There is still a steady stream of customers filling three quarters of the room, featuring an eclectic mix of business types who've made the lunch trek from Sheppard or Eglinton, and local kids in school uniforms.
Substantially larger than the Priest's original restaurant, the uptown expansion projects much of the same spartanism as its predecessor. A plain white counter wraps around two sides of the long and narrow room, seating roughly 15 patrons on bar stools — a modest but relatively spacious improvement over the decidedly take-out targeted trappings of the Queen St. locale.
The casual, contemporary vibe is accentuated with a black tin roof and white, exposed brick accent wall that provides stark contrast to the dark ceiling and paint. Perhaps the most glaring upgrade however is functional rather than aesthetic: the new location has washrooms. For customers to use. Hallelujah!
We order one Priest ($9.99, a single beef patty topped with fried portobello mushrooms and processed cheese) and a Noah's Ark ($11.28, a Priest, slathered in chilli cheese sauce). We pair up our burgers with regular fries ($3.29) and a strawberry milkshake ($4), the drink a new menu offering currently exclusive to the uptown location.
The cashier taking our order is friendly enough, but we notice a bit of a kink when she asks if we'd like our meal as a combo despite a lack of pricing for this on the hymnal board menu. This is a minor service nitpick, but indicates that despite a constantly packed house, the nascent expansion is still going to suffer from a few growing pains.
I can safely report, however, that the burgers are still very, very good.
The signature, freshly ground beef patty is griddle cooked to perfection, slightly pink on the inside, crumbling just slightly and sopping an appropriate amount of juices into the simple white bread bun. Our fried mushroom topping stuffed with cheese is perfectly crispy on the outside, revealing a delicious and gooey blob of dairy with every bite.
The strawberry milkshake is also an above average offering, served in a no-frills dixie cup and viscous enough that sucking it through the provided straw is no simple feat. It isn't a gourmet shake and has the signature taste of artificial strawberry flavouring — but that's expected and it delivers in the best of traditional diner ways.
The fries, however, leave something to be desired. Usually a well seasoned, perfectly crispy treat, the potatoes we get this meal overly cooked on the outside and slightly undercooked on the inside. The spuds aren't atrocious, but they're definitely not good. Certainly they're not up to snuff compared to past experiences at the restaurant. Again, the chewy potatoes should be chalked up to a new location still getting its legs under it.
At $33 dollars for two cheeseburgers, one serving of fries and a milkshake, one would hope every experience at the Burger's Priest is exceptional. It's earned more than enough goodwill to earn the benefit of the doubt, so I expect these wrinkles will be ironed out as the new outpost settles in.

It would be incorrect to call BP the same. Thanks for catching that!
My only complaint is that, given how insanely busy it is in the place, you can't really eat your burgers in the restaurant, and by the time you get them home they've cooled off a little bit. But, the crowds in the restaurant add to the 'event-like' atmosphere - don't go if you're not prepared to be smooshed like sardines, and to make friendly chitchat with the people around you in line. If you want a quick, antisocial burger, there'sa McDonald's across the street.
Also Burger Priest is not trying to emulate In-N-Out (like they claim), they are clearly trying to imitate Shake Shack. And you don't have to go far, the option is a clear rip-off of the Shroom Burger. Priest uses green leaf lettuce like Shake Shack (In-N-Out uses iceberg).
The Priest is my favourite burger in the city BUT in general BP is so overrated its not even funny. The Priest is the only reason why I don't cut them out and go to Holy Chuck instead (and Holy Chuck is pretty expensive too).
I've been putting off the Burger's Priest for a while and with this new location there really is no excuse. But the fries and shakes do look like they could use some work.
no way i was going to wait that long. The owners must be scouting another
new location already. Good for them, hope it works out.
I've had a few burgers in my day, Shake Shack (awesome), In-N-Out (really good), Holy Chuck, Golden Star, Craft, Burger Cellar, Burger Shoppe.. all very tasty. But I still rate Burger's Priest at the top. The flavouring of the meat can't be beat..
Now that the writing is literally on the wall, I don't know if I'm ordering a burger or getting converted.
No one's holding a gun to face, and I'm sure they won't miss one customer but it seems a little ridiculous.
Good news is you can get them in your grocer's freezer.
Your one of those guys that votes PizzaPizza as the best pizza in the city arent you?
That's a hell of a lot of attitude for an overrated burger place that can't get their orders right.
The next visit, the staff we too busy messing up all the orders because they were screwing around. Everyone was upset.
So 3 strikes your out. What was our go-to burger place, got knocked off the list.
This seems to happen a lot in the Beach. A place opens, has great food and service. After a couple of years the staff don't care any more.
Casa De Georgio fell into the same hole.
Tiny, unseasoned burgers. Tiny bulk-basic buns. Chintzy fries. $15!
The toppings were awesome though! Got some stuffed mushroom thing that was delicious... but the rest of it?
Fuck that; never again.
The Works is great! If only they served beer....
totally agree
imagine taking a family of 4 out for dinner at BP. Well north of 50 bucks and still be hungry.
The smallest burger, expensive too... it is no good
What is with you guys and HYPE HYPE HYPE?
The burgers are good but extremely overpriced for what it is.
The staff flipped the close sign and turned up the music to a ridiculously loud volume at 10:20 while we were still sitting and trying to eat our meal along with a few others. They made us feel unwelcome and gave us funny looks when we entered at 10:15 to order and they were turning customers away before 10:30, which is the closing time on the sign. If I wanted to hear really bad karaoke then I would have gone to a karaoke bar, not burger priest.
Staff are the face of the company, make sure you choose people who will represent you well so that customers will overlook the price to have something from the secret menu.
We understand that is a Friday night and the staff wants to get out of work but for the same token clients are the reason why the place stays open.

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) can improve hearing in children who are deaf and cannot receive a cochlear implants.
Bilateral Hearing Loss for Causes Other Than Tumors
Device: Nucleus 24 Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI)
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Study of the Nucleus 24 Auditory Brainstem Implant in Pediatric Non-Neurofibromatosis Type 2
- ABI Complications [ Time Frame: 5 years from date of surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]We will track any major and minor complications peri-operatively and post-operatively in all study participants. Major complications include mortality, cerebellar contusion, facial palsy, meningitis, lower cranial neuropathy, hydrocephalus, pseudomeningocele and CSF leak. Minor complications include transient hydrocephalus, wound seroma, minor infections, balance problems, transient nerve palsies, transient dysphonia or difficulty swallowing, headache, flap problems, and non-auditory side effects. These complications will be tracked through serial clinical exams as well as patient recorded questionnaires to determine the safety profile of ABI surgery.
- Audiologic Performance with ABI [ Time Frame: 5 years from date of surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
We will complete audiologic and speech based tests to determine performance before and after ABI surgery. In particular, pre- and post-operative behavioral audiometry and speech perception testing will be used.
Audiometric testing will include:
- Detection audiogram, aided and unaided individual ears
- IT-MAIS or MAIS
- LING 6 sound test (MLV)
- ESP Low Verbal or Standard-Recorded if possible or MLV @ 60dB HL
- PB-k words and phonemes- Recorded @ 60dB HL
- CNC- 50 words @ 65dB SPL
Speech and language assessment: MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDIs) (56), Pre-School Language Scale, , Fourth Edition (PLS-5) Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals Preschool, Second Edition (CELF-P2), Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals, Fourth Edition (CELF-4), and the Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation.
- ABI Electrophysiologic Measures [ Time Frame: 5 years from date of surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We will measure and record the specific programmed parameters of the ABI device. Intraoperatively, evoked Auditory Brainstem Response (eABRs) will be recorded and saved. These tracings and data will be compared to the settings on activation to determine whether the same electrodes are appropriately positioned. In addition, we will record stimulation thresholds for each electrode and track those parameters over time. By following these measure, we will be able to capture how electrophysiologic parameters vary (if at all) over time.

Experimental: Non-NF2 ABI surgery
All subjects will be part of a single arm involving placement of the Nucleus 24 Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) device.
Device: Nucleus 24 Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI)
Nucleus 24 Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) surgery followed by device activation, testing, and clinical assessment for five years following surgery.
Other Name: ABI, Nucleus 24, Cochlear Americas
Detailed Description:
The goal of this MEEI Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) research study is to find new ways to improve hearing in children who are deaf and cannot receive a cochlear implant. The ABI is a surgically placed bionic implant that converts sounds into electrical signals that are directly transmitted to the cochlear nucleus, the first auditory center of the brain. For many years, ABIs have improved the hearing of patients who are deaf due to brain tumors associated with a genetic syndrome called Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2). However, a number of recent studies suggest that deaf patients who do not have NF2 and are not eligible for a cochlear implant may also benefit from placement of an ABI. These preliminary studies suggest that these non-NF2 or "nontumor" patients may actually have better outcomes after ABI surgery than patients suffering from NF2. Children appear to be particularly good candidates because of their developmental plasticity and in many studies, outcomes are more favorable in children that adults. Patients who do not have NF2 and are deaf due to abnormalities in their hearing nerves or inner ears from congenital malformations, infection, disease, or injury are not cochlear implant candidates and there are no other options to improve hearing in these cases except for the ABI. Thus, the purpose of our study is to carefully analyze whether ABI surgery improves the hearing and quality of life of non-NF2 children based on subjective and objective measures of their hearing before and after ABI surgery. In particular, we plan to study ABI outcomes in non-NF2 pediatric patients, characterize the parameters used on their devices, and determine the safety profile of ABIs in these patients.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Months to 17 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
Pre-linguistic hearing loss (birth-5 yrs.; age at ABI implantation 18 months-5yrs) with both:
MRI +/- CT evidence of one of the following:
- Cochlear nerve deficiency
- Cochlear aplasia or severe hypoplasia
- Severe inner ear malformation
- Post-meningitis ossification
When a cochlea is present or patent with a normally appearing cochlear nerve, lack of significant benefit from CI despite consistent use (>6 mo.)
- No or limited speech perception ability (limited to pattern perception on closed set testing materials using the CI)
- Lack of progress in auditory skills development
Post-linguistic hearing loss (<18 yrs. of age) with both:
Loss or lack of benefit from appropriate CI without the possibility for revision or contralateral implantation. Examples might include:
- Post-meningitis ossification
- Bilateral temporal bone fractures with cochlear nerve avulsion
- Failed revision CI without benefit
- Previously developed open set speech perception and auditory-oral language skills
- No medical contraindications
- Willing to receive the appropriate meningitis vaccinations
- No or limited cognitive/developmental delays which would be expected to interfere with the child's ability to cooperate in testing and/or programming of the device, in developing speech and oral language, or which would make an implant and subsequent emphasis on aural/oral communication not in the child's best interest
- Strong family support including language proficiency of the parent(s) in the child's primary mode of communication as well as written and spoken English.
Reasonable expectations from parents including a thorough understanding:
- of potential benefits and limitations of ABI
- of parental role in rehabilitation
- that the child may not develop spoken language as a primary communication mode or even sufficient spoken language to make significant academic progress in an aural/oral environment
- Involvement in an educational program that emphasizes development of auditory skills with or without the use of supplementary visual communication.
- Able to comply with study requirements including travel to investigation sites and clinic visits.
- Informed consent for the procedure from the child's parents.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pre- or post-linguistic child currently making significant progress with CI - This will be considered if a child is progressing along the expected speech reception hierarchy (SRI-Q) as detailed by Wang et al (50). Even for the very young children (18 months of age with 6 months of use), nearly all children with a good auditory signal from their CI will have reached ceiling effects on the IT-MAIS and have pattern perception beyond chance using the ESP (50). Moreover, there will evidence of improvement in these metrics over time.
MRI evidence of one of the following:
- normal cochlea and cochlear nerves or NF2
- brainstem or cortical anomaly that makes implantation unfeasible
- Clear surgical reason for poor CI performance that can be remediated with revision CI or contralateral surgery rather than ABI.
- Intractable seizures or progressive, deteriorating neurological disorder
- Unable to participate in behavioral testing and mapping with their CI. If this appears to be an age effect, ABI will be delayed until we can be assured that the child will be able to participate, as reliable objective measures of mapping are currently not available for mapping these devices.
Lack of potential for spoken language development. This will be considered the case when evidence of the following exist:
- Severe psychomotor retardation, autism, cerebral palsy, or developmental delays beyond speech that would preclude usage of the device and oral educational development. Autism is a special case where there is the potential for delayed presentation. When early signs are considered present, we will request a comprehensive developmental assessment for further evaluation prior to considering routine evaluation.
- Unable to tolerate general anesthesia (cardiac, pulmonary, bleeding diathesis, etc.).
- Need for brainstem irradiation
- Unrealistic expectations on the part of the subject/family regarding the possible benefits, risks and limitations that are inherent to the procedure and prosthetic device.
- Unwilling to sign the informed consent.
- Unwilling to make necessary follow-up appointments.

Holy cow this was a lifesaver. I have naturally dark blonde hair with medium and light blonde highlights. I'm going through a poor period and decided to use a color depositing shampoo (sunsilk, and not even the auburn one!) to try to take away some of the edge of the blonde, but it turned my highlights orange. Like I tried to dye my hair with koolaid, orange. It was ghastly. Thankfully I found this (which is what I wanted to begin with, but was trying to save even more money). I washed out the orange as best I could, and applied this for 30 minutes. I was left with naturally colored light brownish/hints of honey hair that I actually got compliments on. Phew. That was a close call. HG all the way!! I heard this was being discontinued but I really hope not!!

I am trying to save money and extend the time between coloring. However, my medium brown hair tends to lighten up and get brassy after several weeks. Also, now that my hair is darker, the grays are starting to appear more quickly. I tried this for the first time today, used as directed, and love it! My hair feels like it was just colored, soft and smooth. The brown is blended and toned and the grays, while not completely gone, are muted. Next time I will try to leave on a bit longer. The salon told me to use just once a week, but it is going to be hard not to use it more often!! Paid $16 for 8 ounces, but if it continues to work this well, it is more than worth it!

I've never been compelled to review anything before, but this conditioner is amazing. My blond salon highlights came out way too high on my brown hair...after one use of this, the color is completely blended and beautifully warm.

I had growing out highlights and my roots were showing. I couldn't get in to see my stylist for 3 weeks so I bought this stuff at Dillard's. My hair was blended very nicely. I thought about going dark again, but wasn't sure. This conditioner wasn't at all harsh and deposited color wonderfully. I do think I could have used a little more conditioning, because my hair is especially dry. Otherwise, it does what it says. Actually it does more than what it says. I really deposits color. Love it!

I am THRILLED with this conditioner after just using it for the first time! I bought it after reading the glowing MUA reviews and am soooo happy that I did.
My hair has been through some major self-imposed trauma lately. I overdid it with the highlights and then tried to dye over them. I ended up with a color (or colors) which wasn't *horrible* but had areas of ashy highlights, some ok highlights, and then a brassy color at the roots. I wanted something to blend this blondish, brownish mess without redying and further destroying my hair...or possibly making matters worse with the color!
My hair is naturally very fine, though I have a lot of it, and lt. brown/dark ashy blonde (naturally). This stuff not only did wonders for the color, but my hair actually feels very soft and conditioned...not weighed down in the least or dry. This stuff really does a decent job conditioning! As I mentioned, I just used this for the first time and followed the directions (left on 2-5 min. and then I clipped hair on top of head) since I wasn't sure how my porous hair would absorb the stuff. I think next time I may try to leave it on a bit longer. I will use this as others have to keep blending my colored hair with the new virgin hair. Great stuff. Wow!!!

This product is a necessity if your highlights come out too high! Really tones them down and blends to your hair (if you have brown to light brown hair of course). Price: Worth it! Much cheaper than getting your hair re-done! Plus, you only need to use it maybe twice a week - so it goes a long way!

Whew! This conditioner saved my hair from weird-highlights brassiness. I have light brown hair with natural coppery highlights, and when I wanted to, say, highlight the highlights, what did I get? Brassy yellow streaks! (Never again will I let that hairdresser do color...great cuts, but, well, anyway.) I got the Clove shampoo and conditioner after reading the reviews here on MUA, and all I can say is thanks, everyone! The brassiness is definitely muted and toned down, and the streaks blend in with the rest of my hair. As for making a mess in the shower, I didn't notice anything, but then, I don't let my showerhead spray everywhere -- I just use the "rainshower" type of straight-down stream. My hands were a little stained after I applied the conditioner, but it came off very easily with a little facial scrub. No big deal at all. It's not a deep conditioner, but it does make my hair nice and shiny and soft. I'll alternate with Redken All Soft.

I use the clove conditioner once a week to blend any lightened pieces in my dark brown hair (I prefer it dark). It works very well and leaves my hair shiny and bouncy. I can't use it more than once per week or it tends to dry out my hair a bit. Also - beware the mess it can make in the shower! Otherwise a great product. Love the clove shampoo as well.

This product delivers what it promises but beware - it really stains your hands and towels! Rinse out the shower after use too, or you'll end up with brown grouting.

Absolutely wonderful concept. I see what they're trying to do with it, but it's still incredibly buggy, exploitable, and not very pretty. Hopefully it will be improved upon.

This is the weir on the River Derwent at Chatsworth. It saw me with my tripod balanced very precariously, half in the water and half on the ground, with me leaning over tired and cold to get this composition.
I don't think I could have asked for much more, some nice calm water, some pinks in the sky and mist rising off the river.
Glad I finally got it in the bag.

Hi All,
This is a few days late apologies!
Well on Monday I've started Slimming World, I have now discovered that I weight 14'9, I had feared I was going to be in the 15's so I was slightly relieved. I have set myself a target of 3 pound to lose this week and so far I have rigidly stuck to plan. Overall I'd love to get myself into the 9 stone bracket, I'm 5'1 and have no desire to be "skinny" I want to keep some tits and ass!
Breakfast - Rasp & Cran Mullerlight with Blueberries
Lunch - Tomato & Herb Mug Shot
Dinner - Spahetti Bolognaise made with 5% fat beef mince, passata and some seasoning and wholemeal spaghetti. I added a small sprinkling of parmesan to the top as my healthy extra.
Three cups of tea.
That was a pretty bad day as I'd not had chance to go shopping for SW friendly foods.
Breakfast - Rasp & Cran Mullerlight with Blueberries
Lunch - Lettuce, pepper and chicken salad with a table spoon of low calorie Pizza Express caesar sauce
Dinner - Chicken stir fry using chicken, sugar snap peas, sweet corn and fine egg noodles. For the sauce I used the Blue Dragon Chow Mein sauce when was split between myself and my OH.
Snacks - Ryvita Minis (HE-B) with reduced fat humous, a mandarin.
I shall add syn values later as I've pre-planned my day and left my written food diary at home with all the figures on.
Today I'm having similar to yesterday except for dinner I'm going to try making some SW chips with egg, bacon and beans. I have a lovely looking pineapple and some kiwis at home I'm also looking to get stuck into.

A horse train
"It felt like I'd walked back in time."Maybe you did???
Heavy Pack-- OMG!
On a backpack trip years ago, my father found an abandoned, hand-forged chain in the wilderness. He decided he had to have it. So he packed it out. Added about 40 lbs of iron in his pack on the way back. Dad's gone, but I still have that chain.
Two quick stories.Story #1:Ages ago (mid '80s) about 12 miles south of Red's Meadow, we passed by a small, but fully equiped trail maintenance crew (including mattocks, pulaskis, macleods, grub-hoes, even a sledge & a wheel barrow!) ... I naturally assumed they were supplied by horse packers, and thought nothing more of it. We chatted briefly about the weather (it was raining), even briefer about their work and moved on. Three days later as we heading back into Red's Meadow, we passed the same crew, but this time they were on the move ... they were backpacking everything ... everything! UNBELIEVABLE. Our conversation this time centered their loads, which they jokingly guessimated "probably over a 100 lbs ..." Wow, trail crew studs.Story #2:During a backpack loop in Devil's Canyon we were on our return leg, and we passed a camp (just before the long climb out of the canyon) in which 5 college age youth had set-up a full sized, back yard type BBQ (the ones with the 5 gallon propane tank) and had a full sized ice chest. In amazement, we asked them why would they haul that set-up down from Angeles Crest Highway, did they know about any lighter alternatives? They just laughed & their answer was "well, we like to eat REALLY good!" Getting to where they were was downhill, and when we asked about the uphill return, their grinning response was "we'll do it the same way we got here, only a little slower". I certainly hope they enjoyed their meals enough to made it worth it.

Granted, this was for a trail construction outing but its still the most non-lightweight thing I've carried. I was leading a backcountry trail building event, we were hiking in just two miles, camping, then hiking a little farther to the worksite. The other leader and I got there early and he carried in 5 gallons of water in a heavy duty bladder and I carried in a chainsaw and fuel on an old external pack frame. Then we hiked back out and carried our packs in with everyone else. After we were done with the chainsaw I hiked it back out to the vehicle then walked back to camp. On the way back out the next day I carried about 20 pounds of trash we'd cleaned up from the fire rings and campsite balanced precariously on top of my pack. I was really glad I packed light for that trip.I've got lots of fun trail building/maintenance stories. I used a leaf blower on 9 miles of trail once too.Edit: This thread needs more photos!Adam

Not really backpacking, but backpacking at the same time. I was on a whitewater kayaking trip with a friend when we saw a group of four guys all in small six foot whitewater playboats, wearing 80liter packs while they paddled. Never saw any of them flip in the short time that we saw them, but when they did I'm sure they went straight to the bottom. They obviously didn't think that one through, didn't have any spray skirts either...
Saw a guy carrying a quarter barrel keg with a nitrous-tank tap up to Conundrum Hot Springs a month ago. 9 miles up-hill one way and he got a standing ovation as he arrived at the hot springs.
I read on another forum that some folks carried a canoe up to Lake of the Clouds in the Presidentials to float around haha seems like a lot of work for a very small pond
I went on a canoe trip with a buddy a few years ago. I'd been lightweight backpacking exclusively for a few summers and was amazed by the huge load that the other guys brought. I complained about one guy's stuff a lot because I ended up carrying it a couple times over portages. When I finally asked what he had in there, his response was- rocks. He wanted to carve rocks and he brought a big bag worth and all the metal files to go with it.Also, in the hundred mile wilderness i found the following pile of stuff. I thought someone else was camping at that site that night and had probably just gone to get water down the hill. When no one showed up for quite a while I took a closer look at all the stuff and realized it was all superfluous items. Someone had hauled it all in, decided it was too heavy and left it.
There's a heavy, high-quality wrought iron loveseat on the top of Picketpost Mountain (outside of Phoenix, AZ). But what's really amazing is that the "trail" involves much rock scrambling and a 10-foot high boulder that must be climbed. How they did that with the loveseat is beyond my imagination, but I enjoyed a nice rest on it at the top!On the way to John's Brook Lodge in the Adirondacks, we encountered a young man carrying an enormous beefsteak (enough to feed 20-25 people) in a plastic milk crate strapped to his load-hauler external frame pack. (There was more food in his pack.)Where are those pack goats when you need them?Edit: Yes, of course it was a JBL staff member -- I didn't think they were excluded from the theme of the thread...it still looked mighty funny!

My wife and I came upon a guy about 10 miles into the Pasayten Wilderness of Washington State about 15 years ago. He was sitting a little off the trail and had a couple large suitcases and a large trunk (about 2' x 2' x 3'). He was big and a bit weird.I carried a gun for a few years after that whenever I hiked with my wife in that area.
Last year on a Meetup overnighter I was attending, a gal showed up with one of the most distressing conflicts between UL and BPH that I've ever seen.Her pack was a lightweight external frame. Her tent was a boy scout pup tent (quite light). She didn't pack a sleeping bag, brought a military poncho liner instead. (That actually was a mistake, she would have frozen that night).However- she had 3 GALLONS of water with her. One gallon in her pack, and one gallon jug to carry in each hand. Our hike was along a creek nearly the entire way, and we were camping at a lake. I was only able to get her to agree to ditch one gallon. She only needed to carry a liter, tops. Her food was all canned. And she had quite a few cans. And she had a bunch of cotton clothes- cotton hoodie, etc. Her pack probably weighed somewhere around 60 lbs. For an overnighter.Fortunately, she decided to bail on us shortly up the trail because the pack was quite uncomfortable. I wasn't the organizer for that Meetup, but after that experience I also include a sample packing list in all my Meetups.
I once saw a couple hiking in with a 130 quart ice chest. They were maybe 2 miles in from the trail. another time I saw someone carrying a huge wooden handled axe.
One of those standing grills (the metal circular ones) and lawn chairs to basecamp at Highland Mary Lakes in Colorado's Weminuche (the Northwest side). They would just spend all day and night catching trout at one area with angler set ups.
A few years ago I saw an unattended heavy hauler pack with a 50 lb bag of dog food strapped to it. Later I saw the owner hiking with it, accompanied by a rather huge St Bernard.
About a week ago in the San Jacinto Mountains:That gallon of water hanging off the back can't be helping things.His buddy didn't even have a backpack, just a duffel bag. He forced his arms through the handles to make a sort of backpack.HJAdventures in Stoving
lease lightweight thing I did...When I was a lad in boy scouts we would carry a 18lb cast iron dutch oven. After all that work, the fruit cobbler always tasted good :)as to what I have seen... it's tied#1 my cousin who work for the forestry service years ago. Typical heavy-weight backpacking style gear and food for 5 days + double bit axe, saw, and a chain saw with gas. My memory was that when he hit the trailhead the gear was 110-120lb.#2 a couple of years ago on the lost coast. 60 gallon cooler that seemed to be filled with a funny harness to carry on the back, a surf board on the shoulder, and a large bag (I am guessing clothing) slug over his side

US denies Assange 'secret warrant'

The United States has denied it is secretly preparing legal action against Julian Assange as supporters of the WikiLeaks founder explore fresh legal moves to stop his extradition to Sweden to face questioning over rape allegations.
The US ambassador to Australia, Jeffrey Bleich, yesterday rejected as "an invention" claims that Washington was preparing a warrant for the arrest of Mr Assange over WikiLeaks' role in publishing thousands of secret US diplomatic cables last year.
"There is no such thing as a secret warrant. Period. They don't exist," Mr Bleich said.

It's a powerful word. A sustaining word. At Exponent, belief is the focus and end result of everything we do. Creating belief in brands is no small task today, when consumers increasingly expect transparency, reliability, responsiveness. How we create belief is what sets Exponent apart from traditional agencies.
We stay effective and stay relevant by putting these five tenets of modern public relations to work.
More than 7 million people have helped basketball star Ricky Rubio save a virtual life on the Save-A-Life Simulator.
The traditional PR model starts with defining the target audience by segment. We go a step further and define target audiences by their measure of influence. Brands must earn influencers' enthusiastic support to turn them into advocates.
We invited cooks to share Kitchen Conversations with the bloggers they rely on for cooking inspiration.
People now look to peers for information and recommendations. We find authentic, trusted influencers wherever they may be—on blogs, on social media and in local communities—to share brands' most compelling stories.
#OnlyInMN captures the real one-of-a-kind experiences travelers in Minnesota love to see and share.
Today, inspiration fuels awareness. We develop campaigns that go beyond story angles to inspire story sharing among a wide variety of audiences and communities.
Cenex sells gasoline but, more importantly, it is dedicated to rural communities. We created the Tanks of Thanks program to celebrate good neighbors.
Consumers already know what a product does. They want to know what a brand stands for—and that it reflects their own beliefs and values. We find creative ways to bring those values to life.
The practice of modern public relations requires not only thoughtful planning but also real-time listening and engagement in the marketplace.
Two-way engagement lives in the moment. Our approach leverages up-to-the-minute analysis to respond immediately to what's relevant right now.

The next day, Mrs. Garcia assigns her student the cube root function to graph for homework. The following day, she asks her students which quadrant(s) their graph is in.
Alendro says that because of the negative sign, all y values are negative. Therefore his graph is only in the third and fourth quadrants quadrant.
Dako says that his graph is in the third and fourth quadrants as well but it is also in the second quadrant.
Marisha says they are both wrong and that her graph of the function is in all four quadrants.
Which one of them is correct?
A cubed root function is different from that of a square root. Their general forms look very similar, and the parent graph is . However, we can take the cubed root of a negative number, therefore, it will be defined for all values of . Graphing the parent graph, we have:
For , the output is the same as the input of . The domain and range of are all real numbers. Notice there is no "starting point" like the square root functions, the now refers to the point where the function bends, called a point of inflection (see the Analyzing the Graph of a Polynomial Function concept).
Example A
Describe how to obtain the graph of from .
Solution: From the previous concept, we know that the +5 indicates a vertical shift of 5 units up. Therefore, this graph will look exactly the same as the parent graph, shifted up five units.
Example B
Graph . Find the domain and range.
Solution: From the previous example, we know that from the parent graph, this function is going to shift to the left two units and down three units. The negative sign will result in a reflection.
Alternate Method: If you want to use a table (like in the previous concept), that will also work. Here is a table, then plot the points. should always be the middle point in your table.
Example C
Graph .
Solution: The -4 tells us that, from the parent graph, the function will shift to the right four units. The effects how quickly the function will "grow". Because it is less than one, it will grow slower than the parent graph.
Using the graphing calculator: If you wanted to graph this function using the TI-83 or 84, press and clear out any functions. Then, press , MATH and scroll down to 4: and press ENTER. Then, type in the rest of the function, so that . Press GRAPH and adjust the window.
Important Note: The domain and range of all cubed root functions are both all real numbers.
Intro Problem Revisit If you graph the function , you see that the domain is all real numbers, which makes all quadrants possible. However, for all positive values of x, y is negative because of the negative sign in front of the cube root. That rules out the first quadrant. Therefore, Dako is correct.
Guided Practice
1. Evaluate when .
2. Describe how to obtain the graph of from .
Graph the following cubed root functions. Check your graphs on the graphing calculator.
1. Plug in and solve for .
2. Starting with , you would obtain by shifting the function to the left four units and down 11 units.
3. This function is a horizontal shift to the right two units and down four units.
4. This function is a reflection of and stretched to be three times as large. Lastly, it is shifted down one unit.

Statements from Fred Wilpon, Saul Katz, & their attorneys
The following statements have been issued by the parties involved in today's settlement between Wilpon/Katz and the trustee in the 'clawback' lawsuit in the Bernard Madoff case:
The defendants attorneys, Robert F. Wise Jr. from Davis Polk:
[jbox color="gray"]
"The settlement that was announced in court this morning brings to an end the litigation and affirms that Mr. Wilpon and Mr. Katz and their partners acted at all times in the utmost good faith—that they were not willfully blind. The trustee has expressly said in the settlement that after reviewing all of the evidence, he has decided to drop the willful blindness claims. The settlement amount is based on the withdrawal of profits during the six-year period before the Madoff bankruptcy and is on the same basis as all of the other settlements that the trustee has concluded with other good faith victims of the Madoff fraud. The Sterling Partners' claims against the bankruptcy estate will be honored in full and they will be treated the same way that the claims of all the other Madoff victims have been treated. Until the end of the fourth year, all of the payments on the $162 million will come from the recoveries against the Madoff estate. Mr. Wilpon, Mr. Katz, their families, and their partners are pleased to have this litigation over with and behind them. They look forward to moving ahead."
Fred Wilpon:
[jbox color="gray"]
"I am very pleased for ourselves and our families to get the litigation behind us. I want to thank everybody, because this really was a team effort. Our partners were fantastic— our families were behind us and our friends. Mario Cuomo did a great job—he never gave up. As we've said from the very beginning when this lawsuit started, we are not willfully blind, we never were, we acted in good faith, and we're very pleased that this settlement bears that out. That's very important to us. Now I guess I can smile—maybe I can take a day off, but I can't wait to get back to our businesses which I love. The first order of business and the first priority will be getting down to Florida tomorrow, getting to the spring training camp, and trying to bring the New York Mets back to the prominence that our fans deserve and the City of New York deserves."

He is her friend and lover who can satisfy all her sexual demands, especially for threesomes. But all that is about to change thanks to Avgar, a ruthless demon, who is her new apprentice on a mission to steal Christopher Columbus' soul. He knows she is hiding something and will do anything to find out what it is. If her secret were ever revealed, she and Sebastian would be banished to the deepest depths of Hell. If that weren't enough, Amato, a guardian angel, is sent to protect Christopher Columbus. He knows her secret and is infatuated with the beautiful enchantress. Whenever they make physical contact, Belinda feels an electrical shock of rampant arousal. Can she tame her sexual urges for the angel or will her mission be jeopardized and her big secret be revealed? [Erotic Fantasy Menage a Quatre Romance.

Thanks to the Newport Beach Film Festival's Asian Showcase, I was able to see Key of Life, a gem of a movie that I otherwise would have never seen. Kenji Uchida's Key of Life has to be the best movie that I've seen in a long time, and that's saying a great deal because I watch a lot of movies!
On the surface, Key of Life may seem like your basic mistaken identity movie, but it has so much more depth than any of the trailers or synopses would have you believe. Director Kenji Uchida successfully created lovable and charming characters out of a mafia hitman, a suicidal actor and a workaholic magazine editor. The lives of these three people would have never crossed paths were it not for an accident at a bath house that kick-starts a story that is full of heart and wonderful surprises.
This movie had me laughing out loud within the first few minutes and never let up with the witty writing and creative story direction. Nothing is as it seems in Key of Life as the movie takes you for some pleasant and unexpected twists.
I can't praise this movie enough for its story, comedy and overall entertainment value, and I definitely recommend everyone watch this movie. Currently, Key of Life can only be seen at film festivals, which is why organizations like the Newport Beach Film Festival are so important to the propagation of quality cinema.
The Newport Beach Film Festival is drawing to a close on May 2nd, but you still have a couple of days to get out and see some great films from around the world.
UPDATE: Key of Life will be screening on May 9th, 2013 as part of the L.A. Asian Pacific Film Festival! Stay after the movie for the closing night gala!
