Rocks hurt, concussions happen, and your skull isn't shatter-proof, which is exactly why WRSI designers crafted the Current Helmet with a multi-layer design and gave it a multi-directional retention system to ensure the helmet stays in place.
- Multi-layer design features an energy-dispersing polyurethane sub shell sandwiched between the multi-impact plastic outer and EVA foam liner to reduce concussions
- Interconnect Retention System features a back adjustment and additional adjustment on the chin strap for the most effective fit
- Internal cushion/fit system features 12 removable pads that allow you to get the ideal fit for maximum protection and comfort
- WRSI manufacturing process utilizes 100% wind power and strives to be totally waste-free

Can't get it to fit
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I really like this helmet in theory, but I have been having a beast of a time trying to get it to fit. Also, the piece that holds it on to the back of your head is very difficult to adjust. My head is about 22" so I started with the M/L. Even doubling up on pads the thing kept sliding around. I returned it for a S/M and it kind of fits ok, but still doesn't quite feel right. I have a friend who recently flipped in class III water and managed to crack his helmet on a rock, so "kinda fits ok" just isn't going top cut it for me. I'm returning it for a different brand and a style with fuller coverage.
Great Helmet!
This is by far the most comfortable, well fit helmet I have ever used and worn. A friend has had one a few years and I've been drooping over it. The fitting/adjustment system really works. Buy small rather than large though! It's really hard to get a helmet that feels good AND protects, this one does it! I tried an NRS first, about half the price, and looks like a similar strap system, but it's not even close on the fit, and I returned it immediately. This is worth the money, no question.
Great Helmet... be sure to buy small
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I got this helmet to use while working as a whitewater instructor this summer. It's a great, safe helmet for most people. It's cost efficient, and it looks pretty sweet (which is something we all secretly take into account, right?...) After spending multiple three hour sessions across the summer trying to get the fit right, however, I had to move on to a Sweet that didn't slide around my head quite as much, even if it meant shelling out more dough. I think the issue arose from the fact that my head is right between sizes, and I bout the larger helmet rather than the smaller one. So, if you fall into that category, I'd buy small and be happy!
Excellent Design
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This helmet will give you excellent protection. it comes with a wide variety of pads to get a snug and comfortable fit. More importantly, however, are the adjustments in the back and the chin strap. When properly adjusted the helmet will stay in place no matter how badly you get tossed around in a rapid. Take the time to get that fit right so the helmet will not ride up on your head.
Best bang for your buck!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Having worked as a river guide for almost a decade, I have had the chance to try out many different helmets. It's just as comfortable as a more expensive helmet and you save lots o' money! It's what I use for my personal helmet. The other thing I like about this helmet is that it doesn't have those winding devices on the back to tighten and loosen your helmet, which is nice because there isn't anywhere on this helmet that my hair can get caught in. This is really the best helmet for your money and it's really functional.

WRSI Helmet Fitting
Here is how to properly adjust your helmet to fit your head shape. FYI it doesn't come with the thicker big pad anymore.
Good helmet
I like this helmet, although I found it hard to fit. It still isn't a perfect fit, but I like the helmet anyway.
no vents, still stoked
this helmet rocks- one thing to note is that this is the NO VENTS version, despite the description. backcountry.com has offered to take it back and pay for shipping so no beef there. i like the price and the helmet so i am keeping it. fitting the helmet took some time but once you are done it is comfy. check out this video, it will help out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRREOigIGmc
bottom line: great helmet, great price, great service. thanks backcountry!
WRSI makes this same model helmet with vents, but Backcountry doesn't carry them.

Private Colleges Regulated by SCHEV
Invited to Best Practices Summit
RICHMOND — In its role as regulator of a number of Virginia's private postsecondary institutions, the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) will host a conference for colleges and universities in the regulated sector on Thursday, March 29 in Richmond. The day-long summit will help personnel at private institutions learn best practices in compliance and models for helping students succeed.
SCHEV's Private and Out-of-State Postsecondary Education (POPE) section will host several speakers covering topics of interest for educators and administrators at private SCHEV-regulated institutions, including:
- Deborah Brent and Ron Charpia of ITT Technical Institute on "Admissions Best Practices that Support Compliance in the Career College Sector;"
- Jay Hollowell of MaxKnowledge on "Creating a Culture of Compliance;"
- John Lee of JBL Associates, Inc. on "How to Graduate High-Risk Students;" and
- Linda Woodley of SCHEV on "SCHEV Recertification."
Thursday, March 29 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Sheraton Richmond South
9901 Midlothian Turnpike
Richmond, Virginia 23235
SCHEV hopes to help educators and administrators at regulated Virginia institutions better serve Commonwealth students by providing professional development and networking opportunities. Summit attendees will learn how to create a culture of compliance with state regulations, as well as best practices to ensure students receive the quality education they have come to expect from Commonwealth institutions. A full agenda can be found on the SCHEV website at www.schev.edu/HigherEd/POPE/BestPracticesSummit.pdf.
All members of the media, including photographers, are invited to attend.

Home > News > Press Releases > 10 Mood-Boosting Foods To Add to Your Diet
Published on June 27, 2014
Dark chocolate helps release endorphinsthat make you feel happy.
Most of us would agree that food in general makes us happier. But did you know that there are some that can literally release those feel-good chemicals in your brain and elevate your mood?
Well, it's true. And it's mostly due to the fact that certain nutrients and vitamins found in some of our favorite foods simply allow for it to happen. So instead of finding refuge in a decadent chocolate cupcake on days when you're feeling low, you might want to try one of these foods or snacks:
It's all about the omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish such as salmon, herring, sardines, tuna and rainbow trout. Its mood-boosting abilities can be largely attributed to the fact that fat slows digestion and produces a calming, satisfying effect as a result. Fat also helps maintain function in the areas of the brain that are responsible for regulating mood and emotion, so dig in!
Finally, an excuse to eat chocolate! Well, in moderation at least. A small square of dark chocolate helps release endorphins (those chemicals produced by the body that make you feel happy). It can also improve blood flow to the brain and make you feel more energetic and focused. Remember, the darker the better, so opt for the highest cocoa percentage you can find.
Fresh fruit and veggies are packed with all kinds of vital nutrients and antioxidants. One study even found that those who ate two or more servings of fruits and veggies a day were 11 percent more likely to have overall good health. And when you feel good physically, you'll feel good mentally too.
Legumes such as lentils and beans are packed with folate and folic acid, which are both important for regulating how you feel each and every day. Low levels of folate have been linked to increased rates of depression and folic acid helps prevent problems related to the central nervous system and even mood disorders.
If you're thinking about eliminating carbs from your diet, you may want to reconsider. Carbohydrate-rich foods can actually increase serotonin levels, which is another chemical produced in the body that elevates your mood.
Popeye was right. Not only does this leafy green make you strong, but it can also help decrease depression, bad moods and even help you think more clearly, thanks to a high concentration of folate.
Whole grains found in oatmeal, whole wheat/grain bread and brown rice, are packed with the mineral selenium, which acts like an antioxidant. Some research has shown that oxidative stress in the brain is connected to some cases of depression in older folks, so selenium is believed to counteract those effects.
Tryptophan, which is also found in turkey, is believed to produce a soothing effect among those who consume it. And since tryptophan is needed to help make serotonin, it can also make you happier. In addition to chicken and turkey, it's also found in soybeans, beef, eggs and nuts.
This popular type of yogurt is extremely rich in calcium, which triggers the body to release feel-good neurotransmitters that reduce anxiety, depression and irritability.
Almonds are known to have an instantaneous energy-boosting effect due to its high amino acid count. They also contain phenylalanine, a chemical that causes our brains to produce natural mood-stabilizing hormones.

Visit Emilys Dream
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
There aren't many babes out there with 30G boobs. There are even fewer fresh-faced sweeties barely into their twenties with such a marvelously big rack. The star of Emilys Dream is an exception to those two rules.
Her content is softcore, so her panties don't come off (though you can pay her to remove them and mail them to you) and you don't even get a shot of her nipples, but with juggs this big, there are still plenty of reasons to check out EmilysDream.
The site looks good, but I did notice that once I had headed into the photo and video sections, the menu at the top of the page then acted as access to the entire network and not just this site anymore. This is definitely a navigational flaw.
There are 24 movies clocking in at about three minutes each and downloadable as good-quality Windows Media files. Most start off with this British babe saying a few words to the camera, then cue the music and the teasing starts.
The same goes for the 33 photo sets, each containing about 45 images. Emily is quite petite - except for her huge tits - and stands 5'2" with long blonde hair and a really cute face. You get the impression that she's quite shy, which is endearing.
Emily used to let her fans get to know her better through her diary, where she posted daily, but there's no trace of it now. In its place is a blog that is crammed with mini updates from Emily and some of her gal pals. But the updates aren't all that recent (the date on the last one is from 2010).
The dates on the content make it look like she's still posting new material. I don't believe that, though. After having looked at the screenshots taken during previous looks at the site, I can tell that the dates on some scenes were changed. Also, there is less porn now than there once was, so Emily's obviously rotating her content.
Whatever the reason, it is always disappointing when a site isn't growing. In this case, though, there are 21 extra sites from the Candy Girl Pass network that you can have a look at. Many of them are focused on other solo beauties, like Dors Feline and Ellie Jay, but you'll get some nice lesbian action on Lesbo Brits and some teens on Test Shoot Teens.
If you like cute babes with really big boobs (and honestly who doesn't), then Emilys Dream might be right up your alley. However, while she's one performer you would want to get to know, her site just isn't big enough to be worth joining.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 2% Date: 05/10/2010
no nipples no money!
Score: 40% Date: 05/13/2009
Emily is great, very pretty & busty, but the site itself stinks. Very few updates, many of the features listed aren't used, the video quality stinks, and there is no nudity whatsoever. High priced site for low value content.

Dear brother,
i have come to you with tears in my eyes and with a broken heart.
I am a working mother of a 7 yr old daughter Marsha and 6 months old son Santosh.
I always felt priviliged to be blessed by a girl and boy.
But now i realize that was my mistake. Both me and my husband are blessed with a quick mind and fast learning abilities. We can learn and understand things much faster than people around us. both have good academic qualifications and good job with blessing of jesus.
We always thought, since we are good at what we do--> our children will also grow up to be a person who is intelligent and smart.
but when i look at the behaviour and intelligence of my 7 yr old daughter marsha--> i realize this is wrong.
both me and my husband spend so much of time teaching her. but in the end, marsha is very careless, lazy and has a mind of her own. she does not like to study, write or do any homework. always grumbles when we ask her to do any studies, always interested in watching t.v or eating snacks.
she is so very careless that she can even write 2+2=3 one day and 2+2=5 one day. this is literally frustating both of us.
even simple concepts is not understood by her. we try our level best to use different methodS to teach her, spoke softly to her, scolded her or what not.. but still her behaviour does not change.
she totally does not remember what instructions we told her to follow.
but when we go out and hear from our friends how good their children are doing academically and getting fantastic marks in the school, me and my husband feel very ashamed.
we really do not know brother what to do wtih our daughter Marsha. it pains our heart very much to scold her or beat her. but she frustates us so much. today i literally cried after seing her do maths questions. so many mistakes..
brother, pls tell me why my daughter marsha is like that. i know you said all children are loved equally by jesus and jesus will take care of them.
but why my daughter Marsha is not blessed with grace of Jesus? why is she behaving so irresponsible? why she does not listen to our humble requests? why is she lazy, uninterested in studies? she

a year in Russia studying psychology could be a daunting experience,
but for Black Hills State psychology professor Tom Cox, winner of a
Fulbright Scholars award, it's an opportunity of a lifetime.
"Going to a strange land where I barely know their alphabet
is frightening," said Cox. "I lie awake nights thinking about
it; I see it as an immense research project. A year's Fulbright is
considered one of the most prestigious awards available in academia.
I feel honored and at the same time frightened."
the BH professor is uncertain about the trip's details at this
time, he will be leaving in August for Omsk University in western
Siberia. At the university he will be lecturing and doing research
for a semester. He will then be given free time to visit the Russian
Academy of Sciences. He will be working with the people at the
academy in the area of the history of psychology and philosophy.
want to find out what happened to the methodology and philosophy of
behaviorism (reflexology in Russia) in the areas of psychology and
physiology," he said.
is a significant topic in American scientific circles, says Cox. In
order for psychology to be considered a pure science it must be
supported by quantitative and measurable data. Others argue that the
mind and cognition cannot be measured; therefore it isn't a
science in the traditional sense.
plans to study and research two approaches to psychology in Russia: methodological and metaphysical behaviorism.
a major impact on the development of behaviorism in the United
States was the work of Russian physiologists interested in the
investigation of "the reflex" and learning. Ivan P. Pavlov was
one who insisted on observable data as the basis of behavioral
science or reflexology as it's known in Russia. Pavlov challenged
the work of another Russian psychologist V.M. Bechterev who
in the metaphysical position by concluding mental events are not
observable and therefore must be excluded from the science of
research methodology I will utilize is simple," said Cox. "To
complete this project, I will interview psychology, reflexology,
history of science, and philosophy faculty at key institutions. As a
result of these interviews I will learn the outline of the
development of the Russian equivalent of methodological and
metaphysical behaviorism."
The BH
professor says little is known about the continuance of
behaviorism's methodology and philosophy in Russia. Cox described
a conversation with a Russian psychologist, who claimed to be a
behaviorist but said there were administrative consequences to being
a behaviorist, so he now teaches false psychology.
In the
search of answers, Cox will receive a $2,600 a month stipend and
will be visiting sites such as libraries in St. Petersburg, several
universities and technical colleges in Moscow, the University of
Ukraine, the University of Petrozavodsk, the University of Ural and
several other libraries and institutions of higher education.
For the
past 25 years the BHSU professor has collected, read and annotated
the major works and most minor works or comments of American
behaviorism. He has done this for many criticisms of behaviorism as
well as for the few Russian works published in English. He has also
been contacting the Russian academics to discover the best
individuals to interview concerning the development of the Russian
equivalent of methodological and metaphysical behaviorism.
Cox joined
the BHSU faculty in 1988. He earned his bachelor's degree in
education at Eastern Montana College, his master's degree in
psychology at Middle Tennessee State University, and his Ph.D. in
psychology from the University of Manitoba.
Dr. Nicholas Wallerstein, an assistant
professor of English, has just published an article titled
"Judicial and Epideictic Rhetoric in Milton's Paradise Lost."
The article argues that Books IX and X of
Milton's poem contain a highly-developed judicial rhetoric, one to
which is added an angry, vituperative epideictic color or style. The
article further argues that such a combination is emblematic of the
moral failings of the characters Adam and Eve, revealing a couple
lost in the wreckage of their past actions, obsessed with placing
blame for that wreckage,
and seemingly unable to embrace any course
of expedient future action that might redeem
them. The degeneration of Adam and Eve's language into a rhetoric of
angry judicial pleadings and epideictic invective is illustrative of
the degeneration of their very beings, on a moral, spiritual,
intellectual, and psychological level, brought on by the Fall.
The article has been published in the

British Literature, ed. Robert J. De Smith, Sioux Center, Iowa:

For most college
seniors graduation represents the end of exams and research papers,
but for two Black Hills State seniors six more years of intensive
study awaits them at medical school.
Brett Theeler,
Mitchell, and Nathan Steinle, Sturgis, are both four-year full ride
Nelson Scholarship recipients. Theeler, a star basketball player, is
a fifth-year senior and the first Nelson Scholarship winner to enter
the program as a freshman. Steinle completed his studies at the end
of his fourth year and was the second Nelson scholar to complete the
program after entering as a Nelson scholar his freshman year.
Joseph Nelson, a
1927 BHSU graduate, gave the university nearly $1 million in a
scholarship fund in 1995. The Nelson scholarships cover tuition and
fees for 32 hours of credit a year, and provide for room, board and
parking. Students must major in biology, chemistry, physical
science, environmental science or mathematics. They must be in the
upper 10 percent of their high school class and have a minimum score
of 28 on the ACT examination.
Nelson was a
chemist with EXXON and held 81 U.S. patents on chemicals, rubber and
detergents made from petroleum.
According to Dr.
Charles Lamb, professor of biology at BHSU, there are currently five
students receiving full-ride Nelson scholarships. Two are freshmen
this year.
"We also award
$2,000 to $3,000 supplemental scholarships (less than a full ride)
for applicants for the Nelson award who didn't get selected,"
said Lamb. "We usually have two to four additional applicants who
come to school here."
Lamb says most of
the students who apply for the Nelson Scholarship are also getting
big scholarship offers at other universities.
"They represent
the cream of the crop," said the biology professor.
This scholarship
program provides an incentive for
students who are at the top of
their class in high school to come to
BH. He believes these students, as role models, help
other students lift their level of performance. In fact, both

He would be a second lieutenant while attending medical school and
graduate as a captain. He would then owe the Army seven years of
Although Steinle
has six medical schools to choose from, he has pretty much decided
the University of South Dakota Medical School will be his choice.
"It's closer
to home and you get more personal attention in residency
rotations," he said. "I'm interested in internal medicine at
this point, but it's open to change."
Theeler is
looking at anything from a surgical specialty to general practice.
"I'll let
them mold me," he said with a smile. "I'm a blank canvas."
Both young men
attributed much of their academic success to the biology program and
the faculty. They felt faculty members were very approachable and
"Dr. Lamb did a
great job of mentoring me," said Theeler, "His help has been
huge from class work to advice."
"I got much
more personal attention than any of my friends at larger
universities," said Steinle.
Both aspiring
medical students will graduate with summa cum laude honors this
month. They expect medical school to be a significant challenge, but
then they are used to that.
Without sports to
consume his time and energy, Theeler is looking forward to just
concentrating on academics. Steinle says he expects to be in classes
this August and will be focusing on the basic sciences including
lectures and lab work. An excellent tennis player, he will probably
find some time on the courts to relieve the demands of academic
Steinle, who
carries a 4.0 grade-point average, has also displayed talents as a
writer, winning an excellence in undergraduate writing award this

Engaged ... actors Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner. Photo: Getty Images
Heather Locklear is engaged to fellow Melrose Place actor Jack Wagner.
Locklear spokeswoman Sarah Fuller confirmed the engagement but offered no other details.
The actress's divorce from Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora was finalised in April 2007. She had been dating Wagner since at least 2008.

Locklear's first marriage to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee ended in 1993.
Locklear and Wagner worked together in the 1990s on Melrose Place, a spin-off of Beverly Hills, 90210. Locklear played Amanda Woodward. Wagner played Dr Peter Burns.
Locklear also starred on the prime-time soap opera Dynasty and the William Shatner police drama T.J. Hooker.
Wagner isn't just an actor. He sang the 1980s pop hit All I Need. And he's an accomplished golfer who twice has won the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship, an event usually won by professionals.

Museum of Contemporary Art, donated through the Australian Government's Cultural Gifts Program by Henry Ergas, 2009
single-channel digital video, colour, sound, 23min 52s

For Hayden Fowler, one motivation for his interdisciplinary practice is a critique of contemporary Western society. Fowler investigates our interactions with the natural world and how we define ourselves with regard to nature. He is interested in the nexus between civilisation and the domestication of animals, focusing on aspects such as interdependency and adaptation.
The two video works, Goat Odyssey and White Australia both feature white animals in carefully constructed austere tableaux. In White Australia, white rats scuttle through two holes in a similarly tiled interior space. Talking about the work, Fowler describes it as his response to what he saw as the dangerously apathetic nature of dominant Australian culture during 'the height of the Howard years'. Inspired by the unthinking mass movements of 9-5 commuters at a busy train station, the artist presents his rats as creatures caught in a system of power they have little control over. (1)
Highlighting the disquieting possibilities of our own increasingly narcissistic preoccupations, Fowler's work suggests the need for a necessary empathetic relationship between humankind and animals.
1. The description of this work and the artist's quote taken from Anna Davis' introduction, MCA Collection: New Acquisitions in Context 2010, (exhibition catalogue), Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, October 2010
Quotation: Hayden Fowler, artist talk, MCA Collection: New Acquisitions in Context 2010
You get this picture of humanity – prehistoric right through to futuristic – which is how I approach understanding where we are as a civilisation or as a species.

Hayden Fowler completed a Bachelor of Science (Biology), majoring in animal behaviour, and later completed a Master of Fine Arts from the College of Fine Arts, University of NSW (CoFA). He is currently a PhD candidate at CoFA, where he also lectures in the Sculpture, Performance and Installation Studio.Learn more

Governor begins campaigning on neighbor islands
By Associated Press
HILO, Hawaii (AP) Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie is in the midst of a three-island jaunt to start his campaign for re-election in 2014.
Abercrombie is expected on Kauai on Monday. He made a stop Sunday on the Big Island and visited Maui on Saturday.
During his visit to Hilo on Sunday, West Hawaii Today reports that Abercrombie emphasized the importance of neighbor islands to winning statewide campaigns in Hawaii. The governor used the same strategy of announcing his candidacy when he started his 2010 campaign for governor.
Abercrombie spoke to more than 100 people gathered under tents in a parking lot of Hawaii TechWorks, a recently established new business incubator. His re-election campaign announcement was attended by local politicians, government appointees, and former and current elected officials.

And, according to TechCrunch, the game reportedly experienced 100 million of those downloads in the past two weeks alone. As of earlier this month, the game enjoys over 130 million monthly players and over 30 million daily players. To put things into perspective, the equivalent of over half of Zynga's monthly player base across all of its games is playing a single game.
Rovio is doing everything in its power to keep the money-printing franchise relevant. Everything from Angry Birds plush toys to t-shirts and a cookbook have been released. (Let's not forget about the feature film that's slated for 2014.) And to celebrate, Rovio created this nifty video showing off how awesome it is. The red bird literally soars through milestones, one of which being that 200,000 years worth of Angry Birds has been played to date.
No wonder Rovio is eying up a $1 billion initial public offering. However, many wonder whether the franchise can remain relevant as the Finnish developer skyrockets toward its goal of 1 billion Angry Birds players. To ensure everything goes according to plan, Rovio looks to bring the birds into new game genres. Angry Karts, anyone?

This easy berry swirl pound cake can easily be made with both fresh or frozen berries.
The markets are overflowing with berries of all kinds and my family is loving every minute of summer because of it! I'm always trying to sneak some in a recipe, even though we love to eat them straight up. We even have little strawberries and blackberries blooming in the garden.
If you are looking for a berry quick dessert (sorry, couldn't resist), I found this recipe for Berry Swirl Pound Cake from Martha Stewart. Originally the recipe used blackberries, but I've also made this cake with fresh strawberries. You could even use frozen for those winter months when berries are scarce. You purée the berries, so you can easily get away with frozen berries.
You pour half the batter in your 9×5 loaf pan, then dot 1/2 cup of your berry purée. I thought I was putting too much, but my swirl wasn't as much in the center as I wanted. So definitely, follow the instructions! Hmmm… that's something I tell my kids all the time! I better listen!
Pour the remaining batter over you berry layer and top again with dollaps of berry purée. Use a skewer or sharp tip knife to swirl your berry purée and batter and bake.
This really is a simple recipe that requires little work and gives you a nice wow-dessert. The cake is moist and light, and the berry swirls give the cake even more berry-licious flavor!

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: CA$2.64 (20% off)
Not bad, but contains stearalkonium chloride, behentrimonium chloride and cetearyl alcohol.
Posted by Leione on Apr 19, 2014
There are a lot of great things about this conditioner: it rinses easily, detangles the hair, makes it soft, shiny and manageable without weighing it down, is great for dry, dull and damaged hair, vegan and sulfate, paraben, petroleum, phthalate, PEG, silicon, synthetic fragrance, gluten and cruelty free. It has some impressive ingredients: naturally-derived fermented sugar, cetearyl glucoside, guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, glyceryl stearate, l-arginine, sorbitan olivate, vegetable-derived lactic acid and panthenol, which condition and detangle the hair making it soft and manageable, argan, sea buckthorn and pumpkin oils, cocoa seed butter and almond extract, which deeply moisturize, nourish and soothe the scalp and hair, argan stem cells and ubiquinone (CoQ10), which strengthen the root bulbs and follicle connection, improve cellular circulation, stimulate cell renewal and keratin production, restore hair elasticity, provide body and shine, açaí berry, blackberry, rosehips, pomegranate, rooibos and vitamin E, which are powerful antioxidants reviving, revitalizing, invigorating the scalp and hair follicles, preventing hair loss and adding volume at the root, sunflower-derived glycerophosphoinositol lysine and ca ssia bark essential oil, which are strong antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal agents clarifying the scalp, regulating sebum production and keeping infection and inflammation at bay. But unfortunately, it contains stearalkonium chloride (its hazard is rated 4 out of 10), behentrimonium chloride (rated 3), antistatic agents and preservatives, which are known human and environmental toxicants, allergens and skin irritants, and cetearyl alcohol, a suspected environmental toxin which may come from synthetic sources, as well. Overall, it's not a bad product, but it would be much better without these ingredients.

I have been using this for a couple of years, but lately my hair has been drying out. Don't know what's going on, if it's this or something else. My favorite thing about this conditioner is the scent is so light. Their other conditioners have overwhelming amounts of fragrance added
Nice Product - Good Value
Posted by 5547119506400592905 on Jun 24, 2015
Only complaint is that I find my hair feels a bit oily using this product, so I have to wash it more frequently than usual and can't get the volume I'm use to in my styles. On the flip-side my hair has less fly-aways.
Great conditioner
Posted by 5542150041687866513 on May 27, 2014
This conditioner leaves my hair, soft, shiny and manageable. The smell is fabulous (frech people : it smells like he Cleopatra glue!) even if it does not stay on the hair for long. It is a pleasure to use it. Quite a rich condtioner though so use with parcimony ^^ Hair looks really healthy, and it is organic. I would totally recommend it ! For me this range is better than Desert Essence (the raspberry one at least).
not my piece of cake
Posted by 5649023359667387913 on Jun 06, 2014
the smell is really too heavy for me. seems it's my least favorite conditioner from Acure.
Very good, but the smell.. oh the smell!
Posted by 5413974651994421318 on Jun 24, 2014
I got this item after a friend recommanded it. I have a curly hair. when i used it, with the shampoo, it was really good! the only problem with it - it smells horrible!! for this price, i wouldnt recommand it.
Great product for the price!
Posted by 5476211092861741312 on Jul 31, 2014
It does makes my hair softer, after shampooing with Desert Essence Coconut Shampoo (which it a bit drying on my hair), just that it's a little too watery and I have to be careful when dispensing it (tend to squeeze out too much amount than I require). Overall, great product for the price. I will very much like to carry on using Ruhua conditioner if not for the price.
Posted by ShinyHappyCarol on Sep 03, 2014
En cuanto a hidratación bien. Desenreda bien, suaviza bien. El olor no me convence, me recuerda a la almendra amarga. Y lo de controlar mi encrespado... a medias. Voy a darle mas uso a ver si cambia mi primera impresión.
Good conditioner
Posted by SylvieLaLloyd on Oct 12, 2014
I wish I could give this 4 and half stars, as I think it is just slightly better than its shampoo counterpart. It spreads well, moisturizes well, and smells really good.I do notice some buildup if I use this every time I wash my hair, so I rotate it with another shampoo/conditioner pair. My hair type is thick and curly. I do not use heat or styling products, so my hair is undamaged.
I like it!
Posted by 5316002329607912592 on Oct 16, 2014
I have long curly dry hair and sensitive scalp. This conditioner together with the same shampoo are awesome! Moisturizes very well, hair are shiny and soft. Highly recommended!


text: Smart Fingers turn your hand into a ruler Technology 14 September 10 by Charlie Sorrel You know when your uncle Pete comes back from a fishing trip and tells you about the giant trout he caught? "It was this big," he says, stretching his hands out in front of him. Well, with the Smart Finger, you'd know exactly how big "this" is, and you could put an end to uncle Pete's stupid lies and exaggerations right away.The Smart Finger actually uses two fingers. The pair of plastic tubes slip over your real fingers and measure the distance between themselves. This distance is shown on an OLED display in your choice of unit, in metric or imperial, and a click of a switch will store it in memory for later transfer to a PC.It's a wonderful concept. Just like uncle Pete, we tend to use our hands and fingers to describe size, and measuring length is a natural extension. The gadget itself is also rather nicely designed. The two halves join together to make a single bullet-shaped capsule which slips into a USB charging-dock, and the interiors of each part have a silicon membrane with a hole in the centre to grip any size of finger. Thank God they made it in green, though, as it already looks a little too much like a Fleshlight. Is it as useful as a tape-measure for a quick check to see if the new fridge will fit in the gap left by the old one? Probably not, but for an extended measuring session, this concept design would work great. And if it gives you chance to shut uncle Pete up once and for all, it's got to be worth it.

Happy Monday! How was everyone's weekend? I had a much needed low key weekend. Things have been pretty stressful at work so it was nice to just relax and unwind. I did go out Saturday night with my Mom and Matt. We went to go see Elton John. It was incredible! He rocked out for over two and a half hours. His talent is so unbelievable. I would definitely recommend you see him live if you get a chance!
I have a really tasty recipe to share with you today. If you've caught my recent What I Ate Wednesday posts, you know I've been testing this one out for awhile. I've finally got my shit together to write and publish this recipe. Since I got my Vitamix, I've been making soup like it's my job. It's such a perfect thing to do if you meal prep on Sundays. You can make a huge batch and have it for lunches for the week. I've been loving soups lately because they are very easy to digest and they're still filling.
I could attempt to ramble on about the flavour, health benefits, and ingredients for awhile but honestly, I've got to make it to the gym before dinner so I will just leave you with the recipe. If butternut squash is your jam, just trust me, you'll love this.
- 1 Large Butternut Squash, peeled and cubed (approx. 1 inch cubes)
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 Apples (my preference is gala), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 Medium White Onion, diced
- 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Ginger
- 1/8 tsp Thyme
- 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
- 2 cups Low Sodium Chicken or Vegetable Broth
- 1 cup Water
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel, seed, and cube butternut squash.
- Place on baking sheet and toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Roast squash for 30-35 minutes until slightly caramelized.
- Add olive oil to a large pot on medium heat.
- Add apples, onion, garlic, salt, cinnamon, ginger, thyme, and nutmeg.
- Cook for 15 minutes until apples and onion soften.
- Add chicken broth, water, and roasted squash.
- Bring to a boil and let sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Slowly add to soup to a blender (or use immersion blender).
- Blend until smooth and serve.
- Serve as is or top with toasted butternut squash seeds.
What's your favourite kind of soup?
Have you seen Elton John in concert before?

Amazon – Ruining It for Everyone Else
If you are human and live on Earth, you may shop with Amazon.com. If you don't, I just have one question for you…
What the %^&U$%^ is the matter with you?
In all seriousness, I spend a lot of money with Amazon, and have their Prime membership in which two-day shipping on most items is free, and I enjoy all kinds of other perks like free apps and the ability to borrow one e-book per month. Amazon also offers a Subscribe-N-Save Program, whereby items that I consume regularly (like diapers) arrive monthly and I enjoy even bigger discounts because I commit to them. I LOVE Amazon. Anything I can buy on Amazon, I do.
Amazon has ruined the game for all, or at least most, other players out there. Whenever I order something from another retailer, I am almost always disappointed that the stuff I want doesn't arrive on my doorstep in a nice sturdy box two days later. And now I am on pins and needles regarding several presents I ordered, hoping against hope that they arrive on time.
And it got me thinking, how can YOU be the Amazon to your customers? Here are a few thoughts.
- Be consistent—Stick to promised turnarounds every single time. Bend over backwards if you have to. If you want to have the kind of reputation and loyal following that Amazon has, you have to work for it. I heard recently that they have a truck leaving their fulfillment centers every two minutes. That's a LOT of loyal customers, and a LOT of dollars!
- Make it EASY—From ordering to getting a quote to dealing with problems, give your clients what they want when they want it without a lot of barriers. Don't put off giving bad news. Don't keep people on hold. Don't make them wait too long for a quote.
- Give options—whether it is paper stock, different finishing options, or due dates, make sure your clients have some choice. And talk to them. Find out what they wish you offered and if you can, get it for them.
- Err on the side of TOO much communication—Rarely will you be accused of over-communication. People want to know what is going on, so let them in on what is happening. If they don't want to know, they'll tell you.
- Add value and reward loyalty. If there are ways for you to offer perks to frequent customers such as free freight or discounts, consider it. If there is content you can offer as part of being a trusted partner, do it. Whether that means free quarterly seminars or access to "members only" newsletters or blogs, so be it. People like to be in "the club," so make one up.
Jeff Bezos is worth 19 billion dollars and he started Amazon in his garage. Take some lessons from him and get your clients addicted to doing business with you. Get Amazonian! Gotta go—the UPS guy just showed up with—you guessed it—two more boxes from Amazon!

Posted by coronaborcalis on May 15, 2012 at 11:29 am #19796
Hi, I am working as Digital Marketing in IT Outsourcing in Indonesia, My company goal is to target small to medium startup worldwide. For sure I am not asking you guys to buy the services I just want to ask your opinion about these questions. I know it's a lot of question but if you give your opinions I really appreciate it. 1.

If your chosen company has service where their programmers can work in your office do you want to take it or just satisfied enough with remote work 3. When you already have partner for outsource your development work referred by friend and another company offering you 2 weeks trial without obligation which one would you choose? With knowing these answers from your guys I will know better about my target client not only in my own perspective. Thank you in advance 😉 Cheers, Adi Rian

Hi all,
Long-time lurker here, roadie, finally registered on the forum. 'Sbeen eighteen days since my beloved Bianchi Eros Donna gave its life to save mine when a car sped through a stop sign and cut me off. Typing one-handed due to a broken finger, and hobbling on a still stiff knee, but grateful it wasn't worse. And looking forward to a new bike (maybe another Donna -- it fit my 5'2" self perfectly, although I haven't decided for sure) and another riding season just around the corner.

Millennial Media launches Omni Measurement Solutions mobile ad suite
Millennial Media (NYSE:MM) unveiled Omni Measurement Solutions, a product suite that the company said leverages first-party data culled from across the company's mobile advertising network as well as third-party data to evaluate and demonstrate campaign effectiveness.
The Omni Measurement Solutions suite currently consists of three products. Door Open Rate measures the impact on foot traffic to a given retail location generated by a mobile campaign; Register Ring Rate tracks the impact in total credit card spend at each merchant due to a mobile campaign, including the number of transactions per purchaser and total basket size; Brand Lift Rate analyzes the campaign's effect on high-funnel activities like awareness, intent, consideration and recall.
Millennial Media notes that all Omni Measurement products integrate intelligence from partners including data analytics company Neustar and location analytics firm Placed, matching mobile IDs against exposed and control groups to determine the effectiveness of each campaign across its target audience. Millennial Media also will compile end-of-campaign reports to illustrate the impact on advertiser key performance indicators, supplying metrics for use in future marketing efforts.
Millennial Media said it will expand the Omni Measurement Solutions suite in the coming weeks, teaming with research firm comScore to roll out a new product that measures how mobile ad exposure impacts online consumer behavior.
Millennial Media now reaches more than 450 million monthly unique users globally, including approximately 160 million monthly unique users in the United States. Developers have integrated Millennial's platform into more than 45,000 applications, and the firm has created 450 million proprietary, anonymous user profiles.
Last month, Millennial acquired rival mobile ad network Jumptap for $196.8 million. Millennial controls 18 percent of the mobile advertising market, while Jumptap accounts for 10.7 percent, according to IDC data--their combined 28.7 percent is roughly on par with Google, Millennial Media President and CEO Paul Palmieri told investors.

I have an electrical question.What i want to do is set up an outdoor light to trigger a warning light when the bulb burns out.You see i have a tenant who has his own waste pump.It is below ground but we keep a light bulb burning all through the winter inside of it's enclosure to keep the frost from freezing the pipe.Anyway, I was wondering if it's possible to make it so that when the bulb burns out, an exterior light will come on so I know when it's time to change the bulb.?I have tried a bunch of combinations with a switch that has a small red light on it so you know it's on.No luck.Can you help?TIA,james

Without getting involved with any electronics ... if the shed is dark inside save the 'heat' light, just use a light that comes on at night. You know, with a photo sensor. You can buy just the sensor at the big home stores pretty cheap. Mount the sensor on the inside of the shed and hook it to a light outside the shed. When the shed goes dark, ie the 'heat light' burns out, the outside light comes on. I know it sounds kinda stupid but hey, it's easy and cheap. If the shed is not completely dark, aim the sensor at the heat light and adjust the sensitivity way down ... all the ones I've seen can be easily adjusted.

worth looking at them all but post #8 movie is the one you will find most interesting. Thats about putting web links down onto a map. Those web links can be to a wiki of course which is how most people use them.
Its very easy to do but unfortunately this app isnt free.
For free then Google Maps can do it but its a pain to set up and tag links into. Google Earth is also free and must be able to do it but I dont know how or how easy. You can look at WorldWind which also must be able to do it too though again I haven't so don't know how hard.
Another option is to make a web page and put down links onto the image. They are called "image maps" and you will need to edit the html code to put them in. For what you want tho you would get out an image editor look at the image coords for the map where you want the link and put in some pretty standard code in to make the hot spot there. Still, thats not completely without hassle but is the most "open source" of all the ways I know. Oh yes, and you will need to add an image tack to it too because image maps are invisible.

It appears that MY server is trying to send email as service.paypal.com. If this is correct how can I determine who / how this is being sent and put a stop to it?
I looked at my mail stats summary emails and it sys that paypal.com is the top sender.
Thanks for your help.

When the Braves' Tim Hudson went down with an ankle injury on July 24, some thought that the depletion of Atlanta's starting rotation might be just what NL East teams like the Phillies or Nationals needed to get back into the race. The Braves lost, 7-4, to the Mets the very next day, but haven't lost since. That's a stretch of 10 straight games that includes home sweeps against the Cardinals and Rockies, and the just-completed sweep of the Phillies in Philadelphia.
It's still too early to call the Braves a lock for the playoffs, especially after watching their 2011 season collapse, but they can start penciling in their name for October reservations by extending their 12.5-game division lead over the Nationals in a three-game series that begins tonight in Washington.
For the Nats, this series is almost do-or-die for their season. The two teams meet only six more times after this series. If Washington has anything left in the tank for a playoff run, they have to make something happen right now. Based on the way they've been hitting lately, a magical comeback looks unlikely. On their just-completed five-game road trip, where they went 2-3 at Detroit and Milwaukee, they scored 14 runs and hit only .162 with runners in scoring position.
While there was some good news in Milwaukee with Dan Haren putting in his best effort of the season in a 3-0 win Saturday, it's been their supposed ace – Stephen Strasburg – who, fairly or not, has remained one of the main focuses of the team's struggles.
Strasburg (5-9, 3.04 ERA) takes the mound tonight and has a very high price placed on him (-133) against lefthander Mike Minor (11-5, 2.75 ERA). Strasburg has pitched well enough to win all season, but hasn't received help from his team (2.76 runs of support per game). The Nationals have lost his last four starts and six of his last seven. His only win over that stretch was an 11-7 victory over the Padres, a game in which he allowed four runs in six innings.
Minor has been just the opposite, coming on strong lately when needed most with Hudson gone. He's 3-1 with a 1.53 ERA over his last five starts. In his previous five starts, his ERA was 4.80.
Everything has been coming together for the Braves, who have averaged 6.6 runs a game over their 10-game roll. Although Strasburg has been at his best against the Braves this season with a 1.93 ERA in three starts, the Nats have scored only six runs in those outings and Strasburg has gone 0-1.
The Braves have taken seven of 10 from the Nats this season, and the current 10-game win streak is their longest since a 15-game run in 2000.
We think there is too much value with the red-hot Braves as an underdog to pass up tonight. The Nats are in desperation mode, but what's different now from where they've been in all season, especially with Strasburg pitching?
Monday's selections:
Braves (Minor) +123 at Nationals
Dodgers (Greinke) +145 at Cardinals
Tigers (Sanchez) -110 at Indians
Yankees (Pettitte) -108 at White Sox
Second-half record: 35-27 (+963)

Histidine is one of the 20 most common natural amino acids. Histidine is present in many proteins. L-histidine cannot be formed by other nutrients, and must be in the diet to be available to the body. Histidine is called a semi-essential amino acid (protein building block) because adults generally produce adequate amounts but children may not.
Histidine is the direct precursor of histamine, it is also an important source of carbon atoms in the synthesis of purines. The side chain of histamine acts as a general acid and base as it participates in the catalytic functions of chymotrypsin, as well as those of a number of enzymes dealing with the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Histidine is mainly found in meat and dairy products. Histidine is not required in the diet but may be required in increased amounts during periods of rapid growth.
Histidine functions, uses, and health benefits:
The body uses histidine to manufacture histamine, and histamine is responsible for a wide range of physiological processes.
Histidine is needed to help grow and repair body tissues, and to maintain the myelin sheaths that protect nerve cells. It also helps manufacture red and white blood cells, and helps to protect the body from heavy metal toxicity. The stomach uses histidine to produce gastric juices.
L-histidine may be indicated for use in some with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is known to be associated with low blood levels of histidine and elevated 3-methylhistidine. Histidine plays a significant role in the growth and repair of tissues, ulcers, hyperacidity, digestion, and gastric juices, as well as in the production of red and white blood cells.
Histamine stimulates the secretion of the digestive enzyme gastrin. Without adequate histamine production healthy digestion can become impaired. Histidine is known to be vital in the maintenance of the myelin sheaths surrounding nerves, particularly the auditory nerve and is used to treat some forms of hearing disability.
Histidine also acts to lower blood pressure and relax blood vessels, and is used to treat various cardiac and circulatory problems. Histidine is an essential component of zinc binding proteins and has an important role in the absorption and transport of zinc. Histidine in conjunction with zinc can increase zinc absorption from the gut.
In its role as a zinc binding protein, histidine is important for the formation of myelin, a type of insulating fat which surrounds many nerve fibres. In a histidine proton shuttle, histidine is used to quickly shuttle protons, it can do this by abstracting a proton with its basic nitrogen to make a positively charged intermediate and then use another molecule, a buffer, to extract the proton from its acidic nitrogen.
In carbonic anhydrases, a histidine proton shuttle is utilized to rapidly shuttle protons away from a zinc-bound water molecule to quickly regenerate the active form of the enzyme.
Dietary sources of histidine:
Histidine can be obtained in a variety of foods, including beans, brewer's yeast, brown rice bran, caseinate, dairy products, eggs, fish, lactalbumin, legumes, meat, nuts, seafood, seeds, soy, whey, whole grains. Dairy, meat and poultry, and fish are good sources of histidine.
Histidine dosage, intake:
Most people do not need to supplement histidine. Most studies of histidine have used between 1 and 8 grams per day.
Histidine deficiency:
According to limited research, many people with rheumatoid arthritis have low levels of histidine. Histidine deficiency in babies causes eczema. Histidine deficiency can result in cataracts (diets that exclude Histidine result in Cataracts within three weeks). Histidine deficiency is suspected to be associated with stomach and duodenal ulcer.
Toxicity, side effects, interactions, and contraindications:
There are no known signs of toxicity from histidine. Large doses of histidine can cause premature ejaculation, reduces levels of zinc and possibly trigger an allergic or asthmatic reaction (due to increases in histamine). Long-term supplementation with Histidine may give rise to a copper deficiency and raise blood cholesterol levels. L-histidine is generally well tolerated.

Here is the problem I am facing. I have been tasked with testing the query parsing engine of a piece of software through negative testing. That is, I must write a large number of queries that will fail, and test that they do indeed fail, as well as having the expected error message for the particular error in the query. These are defined in an XML file. I've written a simple wrapper around the parsing of the XML document and struct-like classes for these test cases.
Now, given that I am using JUnit as a testing framework, I'm running into this issue - the act of running through all of these externally defined tests lives in a single method. If a single test fails, then no more will be run. Is there any way to dynamically dispatch a method to handle each of the tests as I encounter them? This way, if a test fails, we can still run the remaining ones while getting a report on what did and did not fail.
The other alternative is, of course, writing all of the JUnit tests. I'd like to avoid this for many reasons, one of which is that the number of tests to be run is extremely large, and a test case is 99% boilerplate code.

A Fisk Called Lute
"IF YOU ASK most people what lutefisk is they'll tell you it's cod. But that's not true. When the Scandinavians left the old country, they got on the boat and packed up all their belongings, came across the ocean, got here, got off the boat, but when they unloaded all their stuff, well, they found out they'd forgotten the lutefisk. So they wrote home to the relatives, and said 'send lutefisk.' They didn't have problems sending lutefisk, but they didn't want to pay the freight. So they sent it C.O.D. And when it came through customs--you know, those guys aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer--they read 'C.O.D.' and said 'cod,' and that's the way the story's been ever since."
Tim Furlong is big man with a beard, and he's not about to let the chance for a groaner go by. He claims to be the last maker of "lutefisk lures"--jokey decorative fishing lures for lutefisk zealots. One is topped with a wild-haired purple troll--"that's a trolling lure," he pointed out a couple Saturdays back at the 75th Anniversary of Ingebretsen's Scandinavian Food, Gifts, and Goods. His eyes danced around a room filled with the audience of his dreams, hardy Scandinavians who had come down for the party. Lutefisk was on sale, lutefisk was free in little sample cups, and lutefisk-eating prowess was on full display.
For the uninitiated, lutefisk is "salt cod"--cod gutted, salted, and dried in the sun, rehydrated with lye, and rinsed with water. The process creates a yellow, mucousy glob that's trimmed with cream sauce or butter. It tastes foul, like ancient cold cream--slightly salty, with a chemical tinge and an overpowering odor. But that didn't seem to stop the feeding frenzy: at the celebration, folks threw open the door, hooted "this must be the place!," and yanked their turtlenecks over their noses.
Clearly the only reason anyone ever ate this stuff was for brute survival--during famines or at the tail end of a fruitless winter. But it seems these cultural K-rations have staked out a new and glorious life as a delicacy. "It's a big tradition here," says Furlong, "but native Norwegians won't eat it; nor will any Scandinavians that lived through the World War II era--it's all they had, dried cod. The older people won't touch it. When people ask me my feelings about lutefisk, quite bluntly, I tell them I wish I was a dog--because if I was a dog I could lick my ass to get the taste out of my mouth."
But the women clustering around the free lutefisk table begged to differ. "You either love it or you hate it," one of them said. "We eat it at Christmas every year; it's like a treat. We actually have it over mashed potatoes with a white cream sauce." While they talked, the klatch, all in their 50s with clean purses and sensible windbreakers, spooned the goo down their hatches.
Ingebretsen's has been having such lutefisk revelries since 1921, when the meat market was part of the vibrant Scandinavian community centered around Cedar Avenue. Cedar was known then, derogatorily, as "Snoose Boulevard," and do-gooders regularly traveled the avenue to cluck over the Swedes' heavy drinking. Today, Ingebretsen's stands on the same block as the infamous Pizza Shack, near Do-Me Nails. After a spell of relative calm, east Lake Street is once again a stretch that doesn't have cordial relations with the law: in the final minutes before the lutefisk-eating contest, a cop pulled over three teenage girls, ordered them to them throw their hands up on a wall, and patted them down. A dozen Ingebretsen's patrons, pink-skinned and plump, stepped up closer to the front window to watch, still holding their helpings of lutefisk.
As the frisking continued, the games inside got started. Darkened by the shadow of a giant wooden Viking in front of the herring case, the contestants took their marks--Bob Paulson, a Scandinavian calendarmaker; Roger Moe, of MPR; John Lundberg, whose mother, grinning, and daughter, grimacing, were on the sidelines; Pastor Haug, of Gethsemane Lutheran Church; and our own Tim Furlong--and were handed their steaming tubs of lutefisk.
"We're going to ask you not to call out, or cry out," Judge John Anderson warned. "You'll be judged by how well you hold in your emotions, like a good Scandinavian. If you finish your plate we'll give you more." The four judges took their positions, including Olsen Fish Company President Bill Andresen, who unloads about 500,000 tons of the muck every year. "We will judge you entirely subjectively," announced Anderson, "on how well we think you're holding up under the pressure of lutefisk."
And with that verbal shot of the starting gun, the contestants took to feeding. Suddenly, as promised, Furlong went wild. He unveiled a little baggie of boiled potatoes, buttered lefse, lingonberries, tubs of ice cream, and a blender. As the crowd watched, aghast and laughing, Furlong dumped the ingredients of a traditional lutefisk meal--including the steaming fish itself--into the machine, blended, and decanted the hellish beverage into a wine glass. But while Furlong was supplying the theater, Lundberg and Paulson quietly polished off their portions. The lady behind the counter nuked another round. They polished that off. Together, in seconds flat, they'd eaten two pounds of chow that seemed to have come from a plumbing accident. ("You know what Drano is?" Furlong asked in a quick aside. "You know what the primary chemical in Drano is? It's lye.")
Because the judges were all distracted by Furlong's antics, they decided to award two crowns. Lundberg, using the Swedish pronunciation, shared the glory as the day's 'loot-fisk' king, while Paulson, using the Norwegian, took the 'loot-uh-fisk' title. Paulson clammed up about his winning secrets, but Lundberg was more expansive--indicating, perhaps, the onset of nausea. "I just like lutefisk. And I'm a fast eater. I could have eaten more."

Diets in Review Question
Why is the cholesterol amount so high in Jillian's Whey Protein Shake?
Theresa asked this question Nov 30th, 2011 9:22 pm
I am a sixty year old woman and I love Jillians Whey Protein Shake, but my cholesterol readings have been rising and I'm not sure if it's the right choice for me because of the high cholesterol (48mg) in each scoop! When cholesterol is in a high range, only 200mg should be consumed in a day. Why is there so much in Jillian's. I'm just surprised that she wouldn't make it more suitable for everyone.

I've been waiting for someone to finally post that they've received this tv. I plan on buying one for my room to hook my ps3 up to and watch movies and such.
So, overall it's a good tv for the price?
126 of 130 people found the following review helpful
Best Deal for the Price,
This review is from: VIZIO E3D320VX 32-Inch Class Theater 3D LCD HDTV with Internet Apps (2011 Model) (Electronics)
If you're looking for a 3D internet connected TV, then this is the one to buy. This TV is probably the best overall value out there right now. Picture is incredible and sound is adequate. By "adequate" I mean that the sound is good enough if this is a TV for your room. If this is a TV is for a family or entertainment room, you may want to buy external speakers just to improve the overall quality of sound.
The internet connectivity and available apps is really nice. If you are a Netflix or Hulu+ user, this will be extremely convenient. There is plenty of apps for sports updates too.
3D is a really nice touch to the TV. I've tried a few things in 3D and can say that you really will get a solid 3D experience from this TV. However you can't be sitting anywhere you want to. The manual comes with a diagram of "optimal 3D viewing". From certain side angles you won't get the 3D viewing.
The only major issue I've had with this TV is when using a PS3 to play video games. Ghosting (motion blur) can be an issue as well as awkward pixelations and lag when viewing in 1080p. Vizio support was more than helpful with this. They recommended changing the output settings on my PS3 which ended up fixing the problem for the most part.
Overall I highly recommend this TV for anyone who is looking for the most advanced TV tech available, while still being able to afford it.
**UPDATE 5/14/11: PS3 Settings to Reduce Ghosting and Eliminate Lag**
After playing with a ton of combinations of settings I found the following PS3 settings to work best while gaming in 2D. These settings were based on MLB 11: The Show because that particular game had the worst ghosting issues out of my games. Other games, may not need these settings. The TV settings listed below are absolutely necessary to have. It will eliminate any lag that you might experience.
PS3 Settings:
--Go to 'Video Settings' and set '1080p 24HzOutput (HDMI)' to OFF.
--Go to 'Display Settings' and change 'Video Output Settings' to 720p. To change this setting you have to choose 'Manual' when it prompts you to choose.
--The only other setting (which I'm not positive I actually changed or if this setting was default) was in 'Game Settings'. I have 'PS Smoothing' set to OFF.
TV Settings:
--TV Settings: Hit 'Menu' on your TV Remote and go to 'Settings'. Make sure the 'Input Source' is set to whatever input your PS3 is using. Go to 'Game Mode' and choose 'ON'. This eliminates all lag while gaming which was a huge problem initially.

For the price I definitely think it's the best value out there. I've seen 3D movies on this TV in the store and they looked really good. Like I mentioned before I did have some issues when gaming in 2D so you may have to play around w/ the PS3's settings for that. Movies work perfectly fine though.
In reply to an earlier post on Apr 19, 2011 4:15:51 PM PDT

Alright, sweet. If the 2D gameplay can be fixed just by adjusting settings, i'm perfectly fine with that.

BIGJOEJGDE says:
How far can you sit back to still be able to get a good 3D experience and does this set have 2D-3D conversion?
In reply to an earlier post on Apr 21, 2011 8:31:16 AM PDT
The manual says to sit at least 6 feet away from the TV. It doesn't give a maximum range though. I think I've been sitting 4-5 feet away and still getting a good 3D experience (probably not too great for my eyes though).
I don't believe the TV converts 2D to 3D. You'll probably need 3D channels, a 3D blu-ray player, or PS3 to view shows, movies, & games in 3D.

Nope, I ended up going to Wal-Mart to buy it but I usually use Amazon so I figured I'd put up a review.
There is a sleep timer, but I'm not sure that it can be set to come on at a certain time. I haven't played with that feature too much but the only option I see is that you can set it to automatically turn off after a certain amount of time.

Hey Andrew! just wanted to ask you how much you bought it for at Wal-Mart? On Vizio.com it's $550 and here it's currently $500. Is Wal-Mart any better??

What action, if any, should be taken by outside actors to support reform in Myanmar?Asked by Talee
Despite impressive changes over the past three years, Myanmar (or Burma) now faces growing insecurity and rising disappointment among citizens that reform has not brought higher standards of living. Interethnic and interreligious unrest now threaten to halt reforms altogether, depress much-needed investment, and could even lead to broader regional tensions.

Just in case you thought that Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake couldn't get any cuter, you'd be wrong.
The adorable couple was spotted at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday sporting some super fashionable outfits as they made their way to the Canal Plus TV event. Jessica looked gorgeous in a black, white and orange dress with plenty of funky patterns. This girl has been on fire with the fabulous Cannes fashion.
Justin also looked dapper in his tie-less suit. As much as I love this slicked back hair Justin, part of me wishes he'd rock this curly style again. So, do you think Jessica is upset that Justin's movie is at Cannes and hers isn't?
She's been acting way longer than he has and now his film, Inside Llewyn Davis, is the talk of the festival. That's got be a little bit of a damper on the ego. Well, at least she's at Cannes!
Launch the gallery to check out all the lovely photos of the couple. Think Jessica will have her time in the spotlight soon? Sound off in the comments!

Teixeira x3 -- Just an endgame DL stash, wouldn't have owned him if not for the injury.
Teheran x3 -- Endgame SP target got him in my earliest drafts.
Dom Brown x3 -- Endgame post hype sleeper.
Fowler x2 -- I loved him last year, I'd be happy with a repeat.
Crisp x2 -- Love the speed and the price.
Butler x2 -- The guy just rakes.
Pujols x2 -- Took him @ 5 and 6, passed on him for Kemp @5 in another and regretted it immediately.
Aybar x2 -- My 8th ranked SS that comes with a 15th ranked price.
A. Escobar x2 -- My backup plan if I miss on Aybar, love SBs at MI.
Cashner x2 -- Was x3, but just holding in deeper leagues. Might have use as a SP elig RP in some leagues.
Gregerson x2 -- Street is what we call fragile.
A. Hill x2 -- Wanted him in every league, he's my 4th ranked 2B just narrowly behind Kinsler.
Prado x2 -- Wish I had him in more leagues, In Yahoo he is gold with 2B, 3B, SS, OF elig.
Berkman x2 -- When healthy he is as solid as they come, could be this years Beltran.
Belt x2 -- Bought into spring hype, not necessarily sold though.
Pagan x2 -- Severely underrated OF with speed.
Zimmerman x2 -- Deep lineup, in his prime, could be in for a big season. Just have a good backup.
Hamels x2 -- My #1 SP target he's closer to the big 3 than you might realize. #4 SP on my ranks.
Shields x2 -- A fantasy #2 at a #3 price. Like Hamels some bad luck seasons have him underrated.
Beckett x2 -- Endgamer with upside + move to NL this years Burnett?
Ryu x2 -- Been a big fan since the '09 WBC. Has underrated stuff and is a bulldog on the mound.
Lincecum -- Had zero intentions of owning him but in the 15th and 16th rnds as a SP4....ok.
Motte x2 -- Got him in my 1st two drafts, pre injury.
League x2 -- Paired him with Jensen in one league, missed him in the other.
Also worth noting is how few RPs ended up on multiple teams (only 3). I did have several targets but closers often went WAY ahead of ADPs in my leagues.
Who you got?
