A man against whom prosecutors are seeking the death penalty appeared in court Tuesday on charges of vandalizing jail property.
During a brief arraignment hearing before Superior Court Judge Jason Deal, attorneys for Allan Robert Dickie, 19, entered a plea of not guilty on charges he set fire to a shirt inside his jail cell on Oct. 29. Minutes later, a separate magistrate judge heard evidence that Dickie tried to carve his nickname, "Chipmunk," into the walls of a padded cell within the new Hall County jail in January.
A deputy conducting a routine check of the cell found the letters CHIPMU carved a quarter-inch deep into the plastic lining of the walls, according to testimony. Dickie had been held in the cell earlier and was known to have the nickname "Chipmunk," a jailer testified.
Dickie, a homeless teen from Maryland, is charged with murder, rape and kidnapping in the August death of Claudia Toppin, a homeless woman found dead of multiple stab wounds behind a Hispanic supermarket on Pearl Nix Parkway. District Attorney Lee Darragh filed notice in November to seek the death penalty.
Hall County Magistrate Court Judge Elizabeth Reisman also heard evidence Tuesday that Dickie cut bedsheets and punched holes in his jail-issued mattress using an unknown object in December. He was charged with interference with government property.
Reisman found there was probable cause for the charge and bound the case over to Superior Court.
Darragh presented evidence of Dickie's behavior in the Hall County jail in an earlier court hearing to argue for the use of restraints in the courtroom. Deal ruled that Dickie would not wear handcuffs but would wear leg irons and a remote-activated "stun belt" around the midsection.

Lapsed inoculations putting horses at risk – charity
Lapsed vaccinations in horses and ponies have become worryingly commonplace in Britain, the Blue Cross says.
The charity says it is concerned that lapsed vaccinations are leaving animals vulnerable to debilitating and, in some cases, fatal diseases.
The charity is calling on British horse owners to take part in the online National Equine Health Survey, from May 5-11, to help build an accurate picture of the trend.
Last year, 65 per cent of horses and ponies taken in by the Blue Cross were either unvaccinated for influenza and tetanus or had lapsed vaccinations, which is an 11 per cent increase from 2011.
While the problem is common (82 per cent) in welfare cases, over half (54 per cent) of horses and ponies being signed over by their owners were also at risk.
The situation prompted the charity to add a question about vaccinations to the survey, which opens on Sunday.
The quick, easy and anonymous online snapshot survey records common health issues in horses, directly from horse owners themselves.
Results help build a picture of British horse health, and will assist in defining priorities for future research, training and education.
The charity's education officer, Gemma Taylor, said: "Feedback suggests that some people genuinely don't understand that vaccinations need to be done every year and if their vet doesn't send them a reminder they completely forget.
"If the survey indicates that, in line with Blue Cross figures, lapsed vaccinations are widespread, we hope that we will be able to raise awareness of the potential health risks and work with vets and other experts on a strategy to help turn around this worrying trend."
Blue Cross runs the survey in partnership with the British Equine Veterinary Association and survey data is interpreted by the Royal Veterinary College.
Emily Pearson, an equine practice vet at the college, explains: "Tetanus is a horrendous, often fatal, disease that can be contracted through even the smallest nick in the skin. It is preventable with a simple vaccination programme, which I therefore feel is a must for all horses, ponies and donkeys.
"Our aim with NEHS is to reach a level of endemic disease surveillance not currently achieved in any European country, but we still have some way to go and need horse owners help us.
"We are appealing to every horse owner to spare just five minutes to complete the survey so we can continue to build valuable knowledge to help improve the future health of our nation's horses."
Supporters of the survey include the British Horse Society, British Riding Clubs, the Pony Club and the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.

TeraPatrick2008 4 years ago#91
I say the same thing about people that use voice chat. Every time I play a game where someone uses voice chat, they always end up with the worst scores possible and actually hurt the team. That's what happens when you focus on talking instead of playing a game.
I smolder with generic rage.
EvelSaiyan 4 years ago#93
When I play splitscreen with my brother we usually do pretty well. We pull up chairs pretty close to the tv so we can see it well enough. We each do way better without splitscreen, but typically we're at least better than 1.00
I was hiding under your porch because I love you.

Wait wait wait wait wait.
Not only now are more games leaving out split-screen, but there our actual gamers against it?
I mean, I'd choose split-screen play over online any day of the week, because I actually want to play my multi-player game with a friend or two. And if I can take them online with me, even better.
But now the fact of winning every single computer game (COMPUTER GAME) is more important, to the degree that you would ridicule those who just want to play with the friends in the same room?
... You've done it. You guys have done it. I'm done
Done with message boards... done with GameFAQS... I'm..... I'm going outside.

Disclaimer: I participate in splitscreening. Sometimes I'm the guest on my suitemate's PS3. Other times he's the guest on my Wii U.
This is more of a Wii U-specific thing, but splitscreeners are kind of fun there. Either one of them is packing a Wiimote, meaning one less aimbot aim assister in the lobby (it's even more like an aimbot on Wii U...), or they decided to be an idiot and shell out 30 bucks for a controller that's supported by all of two games (Pro Controller). The nice thing about the U Pad is that if the person using the pad is the guest, then the main player keeps their whole screen. Because I have friends who aren't complete social rejects like half the people on GFaqs, we actually play better this way because we're used to verbal communication with the people sitting next to us, and because we're decent solo players (1.5 KD/300-ish SPM from 95% TDM 5% Hardpoint on my end, 2 KD/400-ish SPM from an even spread of pretty much every non-HC/SND mode on my suitemate's end), we tend to place right in the middle of the lobbies with the occasional blowout where we both lead the lobby.
But that's on Wii U. On his PS3 I always go horribly negative because even with aim assist I can't use dual analog to save my life (I main a Wiimote) and he tends to pull 1-1.5 KD games when I'm guesting, so after the Wii U happened we decided that the Wii U was our multiplayer system and the PS3 our Spec Ops/Zombies system.
(Seriously though. In co-op Spec Ops I was a big help in getting him all 48 stars from the on-disk missions from MW3 [would've done MW2's as well but BO2 came out before we got done with it] but I still can't even go flat in multiplayer. T_T)
On the topic of terribad splitscreeners, yeah they're annoying. After one or two rounds in a lobby you can usually tell which team is going to win before the game starts just by seeing who got the splitscreeners. If I wind up with them on my team in TDM, I'll follow them around for a bit at first. If they camp, I give away their position then go somewhere else. If they rush, I use them as bait. More often than not the team loses by a landslide but I usually come out with a 1.5-2 KD game and top of the team, so I'm happy.
(On the other hand, winding up with them in Hardpoint results in a ragequit unless I'm feeling ballsy. In that case, what usually happens is the team loses horribly and I go negative trying to play the objective but still outscore half the enemy team.)
Splitscreeners are really a mixed bag. I haven't seen a single case of good splitscreeners on PS3, ever, but on Wii U they sometimes actually do pretty decently instead of ruining any hope their team has of winning.
You know, in Japanese, the Wii 2 would be called the Wii Nii... -NikP1

haha, so much this. I don't understand why everyone hates the idea of split screening so much, I swear not long ago people were lamenting the way it was getting slowly left behind. The day split screen gets removed from COD is the day I stop playing.
I'm sorry for being the noob here, but what is a splitscreener?

The ISIS Puzzle Orb
5 Recommendations
J-Yazdani's recommendation
Each ISIS is unique, with just one solution â among millions of possibilities â not shared by any other ISIS. The puzzle is gleaming orb, handcrafted in England of a premier alloy of aluminum and constructed of precisely engineered, moveable bands. Each band is etched with hieroglyphics; the challenge is to align those cryptic symbols in the right combination to unlock the ISIS. You are given 10 encrypted clues to decipher.
My Collections:
Did you open one already? From what I hear the hierogliphs aren't needed to open the sphere. Do the 10 clues given really help to open it or is it just luck in rotating the ball to get bearings to drop? I guess I've been reading to many blogs and don't know what to believe. I don't want to open it by banging it like some people on line recommended. thanks for any help you can give me. Terri

Cape Town - A South African man is facing the death penalty for allegedly smuggling tik into Bali, according to reports.
Stephen Henri Lubbe is on trial and "threatened with the death penalty", say reports in the English-language Bali Times.
Lubbe, whose age has been given as 57 and 58 in different Indonesian reports, is on trial at the Denpasar District Court in Bali's capital. Efforts to determine where in South Africa Lubbe is from proved fruitless on Friday.
According to Indonesia's official Antara news agency, Lubbe was allegedly caught with 1.54kg of methamphetamine at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali on Sunday, February 9.
He was on a flight from Hong Kong.
"The officers spotted a suspicious item in Lubbe's grey suitcase as it passed through the scanner," said the article.
"The officers opened the suitcase and found a package of white crystal, which was tested and identified as methamphetamine."
The agency added that Lubbe admitted to the officers that he had been compensated with a holiday to Bali by an unidentified person in return for carrying the drugs consignment.
The Jakarta Post said when Lubbe was arrested he "defended himself, saying he did not know there were drugs in his suitcase".
"Lubbe… said he was in Bali for a holiday. He claimed he had been paid with a holiday package on the island in return for delivering the suitcase."
According to media reports, Lubbe breached article 113 of the country's 2009 Narcotics Law by bringing drugs into Indonesia. This means he could face life imprisonment or the death penalty.
Indonesia has some of the strictest anti-drug smuggling laws in the world.
According to a report by the International Drug Policy Consortium, Indonesia has "severe sanctions" for supplying drugs, including "imposing the death penalty for certain drug trafficking offences".
The exact state of the case against Lubbe is unclear at the moment.
The Department of International Relations and Co-operation had not responded to a request for comment at the time of going to press on Friday night.
Patricia Gerber, of the NGO Locked Up, told Independent Newspapers a number of South Africans had been imprisoned in Bali over the past few years
"And all our people that are sitting in Bali were arrested at that airport," she said. "It is unbelievable how many South Africans have been arrested."
At least nine South Africans had been imprisoned in Bali for drug smuggling in 2011 and the early part of 2012.
Gerber, meanwhile, wants the South African government to institute a prisoner transfer agreement to get these drug mules home.
Some Indonesian media reports said Lubbe had worked with an accomplice from Nigeria, who had given him the drugs to transport to a "friend" in Bali. "Preliminary questioning suggests that he belongs to a Nigerian drug syndicate that operates in 31 countries," Rahmat Subagio, of the country's Customs and Excise Agency, was quoted as saying in the Jakarta Post.
According to a new UN drug report, West African criminal groups have increasingly been trafficking methamphetamine to South East Asia.

Seeing this argument about hot streaks coming up again has motivated me to gather up both flox and everyone else's opinions from different sources, look up the facts, and attempt to figure out what this is all about. Here is a very nice and really kind of neat article summarizing both points of views. It is about the game where Brandon Rush and the Kansas Jayhawks got hot against Tyler Hansbrough and the Tar Heels which is really pretty neat considering that they are both on the Pacers:
Now this is the study that that article was referring to. Take a quick look at this:
I obviously didn't read the whole thing, or got relatively close to reading ten pages. But the overall summary is that there is no evidence that "hot hands" or "hot streaks" exist. According to this study, the statistical probability of a player hitting ten shots or so in a row every once in a while is just that: statistical probability. Not a hot streak, not a hot hand. Such as our third quarter vs. Denver. That hasn't been done before in our franchise's history, but eventually in due time it was bound to happen due to statistical probability.. For example:
If I flip a coin 10,000 times, will I eventually flip heads 20x in a row? Most certainly.
If the Pacers play 82 games over multiple decades, aren't we due to have a 20/21 shooting quarter? Most certainly.
Here is another source that would agree with this opinion and it makes sense regarding Ray Allen's 7 threes game in the Finals:
Look at the table and it makes sense. I'd also I'd recommend reading the comments as it falls directly into what we are discussing here on PD.
Here is the middle-ground, hands on piece that is very interesting to maybe help you form your opinion on the topic:
The last paragraph is key to gauge the overall opinion by the overwhelming majority of this board. The majority on this board is going to say, "Of course they aren't going to be hot too long; They are being guarded tighter and being double-teamed." Which, of course, makes sense.
Here is a very good piece that explains about 99% of ours, basketball fan's, and players themselves opinion on the hot hand:
This is where I personally stand. It is really as simple as other players aren't going to get hot at certain times good shooter or not? Would Kyle Korver or, oh God, Troy Murphy have had 8 points in nine seconds under the spotlight like Reg did? Of course not. The numbers don't consider defenses, situations, and overall make players look like robots."There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
The numbers are just numbers, it is up to the people presenting or reviewing the numbers to determine what they mean. It isn't the statistics that lie, it is the people that use them incorrectly. Intentionally or not. As is the case with any study, how you define the parameters can skew how the results look.
An All-Star player hits three shots in a row. What is the chance of him hitting again? According to stats, it doesn't matter, he has a whatever % chance to hit again. But mathmaticians and psychologists, take this into effect:
Maybe after the fourth possesion, the team doubles up on the All-Star player and he is forced to take a bad shot?
What if the fourth possesion there are 5 seconds on the clock and the player has to do a half court heave?
What if on the fourth possesion the shot that will be taken will decide the game , and the player doesn't have the balls to stick it?
This little article right here puts everything that I am trying to say in a nutshell so I will conclude my "research" (or whatever you want to call it. Googling basically) It shows both sides of the spectrum in the best way that I can put it:
So I just wanted to put out both opinions on here, put up a poll, and just try to gauge some interest on an otherwise boring Monday. Discuss.By some magic (know any witches?) you're the head coach of an NBA basketball team. You're down one with twenty seconds to play. Looking around the huddle, you see a power forward who normally shoots 40% from the floor, but is a scalding hot eight of ten so far tonight, and has hit his last three. Then there's your shooting guard, who normally shoots 50% from the floor, but has oddly made just two of ten so far tonight, and has missed his last two.
One of them is going to be the first option in the play you draw up. You have got a decision to make -- and if you're like just about every basketball coach on the planet, one of the many things that will inform your decision is the reality that your power forward has some magic coursing through his veins right now. Everyone in the gym knows that right now he is hot, which means he's more likely than usual to hit his next shot.
And that matters.
But does it, really?
The idea that a player can be hot ... is that something you know, or something that you think you know?

This is great Andrea. I really love the designs you've got going on in the corners. They fade out so well into you main drawing. Lovely.
Plus, its super cool to see your notebook over on Flickr!
Great drawing...love the background you put to your radio!
I just love your blog! I can`t draw but you inspire me to try. I have linked you to my blog witch is called Handmade. I hope that okey?
/ Jeanette
That's a cute radio, and the background is also interesting, but what is a "wind-up" radio? I'm only familiar with electric cords or batteries.
Love your blog and your beautiful artwork!
Such an interesting radio Andrea! Lve the whole background thing also.
And......me too, what is a wind-up radio?
Please send me an email, I lost your address.
Thanks guys.
I quite like this one. There is a bit of a story to it - on Flickr.
The rado is for use in the bathroom where there is no electric sockets. You actually wind up the radio (on the back) and it works until it runs out of power. Like in the olden days I guess?! Environmentally friendly too. If it runs out of power during your bath you can just wind it up some more without the fear of dropping it in the water and killing yourself. I worry about that kind of thing!! Yes, I know - I have issues!
I am as ever, in total awe of what you achieve with the humble biro!
By the way, you've been tagged. Hope you join in and play along. You'll find the rules over at My Sketch Blog.
Take care
Loving this (and your flickr set!). Hope the children's book publication comes through soon too...
gorgeous drawing lovely to see and reminds me of childhood and a fab illustrated poetry book I used to have. plus the familiar sounds of R4.
Love all those swirls in the background!
I am totally amazed by your drawings, you really can handle a biro and a Moleskine! I loved the Flickr album too, you really keep those sketches together, in design and color and idea... Impressive!
Thanks everyone for the lovely comments.
And, yup, Belinda ALWAYS Radio 4.
cool drawing - I especially like the background spirals
I always see those radios in catalogs and think I need one for emergencies, but duh, I could use it anytime! great drawing, and I too, love the musical background swirls.
Very groovy! :) I love the style of this one.
Thank you for your kind comments guys - I really appreciate them.
Oh my god ... I can't believe it's taken this long for me to catch on to your Joni reference here! Haha ... It just popped into my head while I was commenting on your latest post! The penny must have been floating around in my mind somewhere before it dropped. :-D
I also meant to say ... Great drawing! Sorry, I guess I got a little too excited about the title.
What an interesting subject! I couldn't get by without an electrical socket in the bathroom....where would I plug in my hairdryer? lol Great drawing and so detailed!!

2011 Fantasy Baseball Preview: Felix Hernandez
Two days after Roy Halladay unanimously won the NL Cy Young, Felix Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners somehow won the AL Cy Young. He got 21 of the 28 first place votes.
Instead of weighing in on the debate about whether or not Hernandez deserves the award, let's keep the insight here to his numbers – which is the only thing fantasy baseballers really care about, anyway. Felix The King was a statistical stud despite his crappy 13-12 record: he led the AL in ERA (2.27) and innings pitched (249.7) and finished second in strikeouts (232). He also finished 2010 with a 1.06 WHIP.
Because the only reason we're really blogging about King Felix right now is because he won the Cy, I find it important to note that David Price of Tampa Bay and C.C. Sabathia of the Yankees finished second and third in the voting, respectively. Also, no Cy Young winner has ever won less games than Hernandez… and his won-loss mark of 1-game over .500 is the lowest for a Cy Young winner ever.
But, seriously, enough about that…
Because in fantasy baseball, we care about stats! And (wins aside) King Felix is a 5×5 fantasy baseball monster.
In our world, Hernandez has a lot of value because he logs a lot of strikeouts, keeps batters off base, and keeps runners from crossing home plate. He pitches in the American League… and he pitches for the Mariners. The whole Mariners thing seemed like a great thing back in March when the M's were the best in the AL West… on paper. Looking back on how awful they were in 2010, and fearing that they won't improve greatly in 2011 hurts Felix's value in 2011.
Right now, heading into next season, we have King Felix ranked the no. 7 starting pitcher in fantasy baseball – and the no. 2 AL ranked pitcher behind C.C. Sabathia (Note: Cliff Lee is ranked one spot ahead of Felix and one spot behind Sabathia. Obviously, if Lee signs with the Yanks, Felix becomes the no. 3 AL pitcher for 2011, etc.).

DETROIT - "We're pushing for accountability" Wayne County Commissioner Ray Basham told me in our late afternoon interview Monday. He is unimpressed by the fact that no one appears willing to answer the $100 million questions: who is at fault and who might face charges with the new jail debacle?
Basham says a few people know -- Wayne County Executive Bob Ficano, Wayne County Auditor General Willie Mayo and Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy. They are the only people who have seen Mayo's audit report [Ficano's office says he's only seen excerpts] that looked into the cost overruns at the doomed new Wayne County Jail project. We know the 150 page report shows a number of counts of criminal activity.
Mayo apparently brought his findings first to Ficano when he is supposed to drop everything the minute he finds criminal wrongdoing and bring it to the County Prosecutor. He did that only after finishing his report. But Kym Worthy last week told Mayo his report gave her reason to want to do her own fraud investigation into the project and threatened Mayo with obstruction of justice charges if he released his report to anyone. So he won't, and until Local 4 News asked her this afternoon about it, she intended to stick to her position on non-disclosure.
Basham is the chairman of the Wayne County Audit Committee. It's his job to look at Mayo's work, and hold public hearings on the results. He's been waiting for months to see this audit and he has yet to get his hands on it. He is now in a full court press to get that report with the purpose of passing it along to Wayne County's beleaguered taxpayers. He told us "I think I have a right to see it, I think the audit committee has the right to see it, I think the Wayne County Commission has a right to see it, I think the media and the public have a right to see it. The public is not dumb; they can make up their own minds."
Basham says he understands Worthy's concerns about jeopardizing her investigation, but he says this probe is no secret. Whomever might want to try and wriggle out of trouble already knows pretty much everyone from the feds on down are looking at this failure. He doesn't think Mayo's findings will tip off anyone who might or could destroy evidence. Moreover, he is unimpressed by both Worthy and Mayo in this case believing the county commission is being treated like mushrooms: "and when people say 'I'm not giving you this or I'm not gonna do this, I have a job to do,' well we have a job to do. Let's not put it off forever. Let's not continue this boondoggle of spending millions of taxpayer dollars and no jail to put the criminals in. I mean let's move forward with something!"
Well, prosecutor Worthy appears willing to move forward a little. She put out a statement tonight saying she might want to give Basham a "redacted" report, that's one with the criminal wrongdoing blotted out. That's not good enough for Basham. He wants the whole report and nothing but. If he can't get it, he says look out for legal action. Stay tuned.

'Serving Two Masters' and the Chief Audit Executive's Communication: Experimental Evidence About Internal Auditors' Judgments
The position of an internal audit function as a "servant of two masters" (i.e. management and the audit committee) may lead to a conflict of priorities. In this setting, the tone at the top set by the Chief Audit Executive (CAE) plays a critical role in balancing the potentially competing preferences of management and the audit committee. We examine whether the emphasis in the CAE's communication with internal auditors influences their judgments. We also test whether such influence is more pronounced in an internal audit task where potential for justification created through task complexity and ambiguity is high, as compared to low. We test two hypotheses in a mixed experimental design with the communicated preferences of the CAE to subordinates (cost reduction vs. effectiveness of internal controls) as a between-subjects factor, and levels of opportunity for justification (low, medium, high) manipulated within subjects. Findings suggest that the emphasis in the CAE's message can bias internal auditors' judgments, and such influence is more pronounced when the opportunity for justification is high, resulting in the elimination of a significantly greater number of internal controls and the design of less effective processes.

Yale students organize Rescue Run
On Saturday, June 7, students at Yale Secondary School hosted the Rescue Run to support "Destiny Rescue," an international organization that actively rescues children from human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
The run/walk was five kilometres around Mill Lake and with just over 50 participants, several volunteers and help from the Running Room, just over $900 was raised.
As one of many leadership events, this one was especially important to Rachel Lee in Grade 12 who has been actively fundraising for the cause all year.

Coconut Oil vs Argan Oil - which to get?? Help!
Hey ladies! I know a lot of you use Coconut Oil (I was reading past posts and saw tons of people raving about it) but lately it seems like Argan Oil is all the rage. As someone who has never used either in my life, I'm confused as to which one I should get. I am interested in the added health benefits of coconut oil, but I have heard so many good things about the Argan oil. I can't afford both so one is gonna be it. I guess the lowdown on me is this: I do have occasional breakouts and dry patches on my face, very combination skin, but lately this has been better since I've been using the Murad Vitalic Regimen. My skin in general gets very dry in the winter; I live in Wisconsin so we have harsh weather here. Also my hair gets dryer in the winter. I want a product that I can use as a moisturizer for hair and face without causing me to be overly greasy. Although a lot of people say that Argain or Coconut oil can in fact make your skin less greasy, I guess I'm wary until I see it for myself. Any suggestions ladies? Also, if I do get one or the other, would I still use my entire Murad regimen (cleanser, t zone gel, moisturizer) or would I be able to skip some steps? As far as using on hair, do you still shampoo and condition as usual? Thanks so much for any input, I trust the judgement of the wonderful people on this site so I turn to you first!
The only downside to using argan oil is the fact that it contains a lot of oleic acid which is highly comedogenic. So while it may be good for oily skin and psoriasis, it could clog pores and cause inflammatory acne. Coconut Oil is comprised of many fatty acids. Coconut oil contains approximately 92.1% saturated fatty acids, 6.2% monounsaturated fatty acids, 1.6% polyunsaturated fatty acids.If you look at the fats that comprise coconut oil you will actually find many of those within Murad formulas. LauricMyristicPalmiticCaprylicCapricStearicCaproicArachidicOleicLinoleicSo, a little Oleic acid is okay but you don't want too much, expecially if you are breakout prone.Vitalic is a regimen that helps to balance the skin, provide exfoliation and also reduce pore size. In the winter you can always change your moisturizer or even add the Sensitive Skin Soothing Serum after you treat but before you hydrate for a boost of moisture. The most important thing is that it balances your skin and doesn't clog pores.So, I guess I am saying stay away from coconut oil or argan when it comes to your face.Melissa
Hi there,I had the same question lolA couple months ago I was in the same position as you, can't afford both, not sure which to buy. I decided argan oil and picked it up at Amazon for about $20. I really like this stuff. Firstly, my crappy nails have strengthened and are growing like weeds! They have never grown and are prone to tearing and splitting. Big plus! I am still trying to figure out how much to use in my hair, because I know too much can make it look greasy, so I am gently increasing the amount of it I use.. unfortunately my hair is already in pretty good condition so I'm not seeing vast improvements, but I am seeing a healthier shine. I notice it's softer and I can stretch my conditioning treatment times. Face.. I too am prone to breakouts. Not noticing that this product is reducing that. So.. the jury is still out on that. Argan also contains vitamin e which repairs damaged skin, so read the data on it, it might be worth a shot to see if it does. My fiance uses it on his face and he has rosacea. It is working for him better than it is working for me in reducing the redness, and the dryness which may be why he's breaking out less. I am still going to try coconut oil to see if that does better for my face, but in the meantime, I am assuming my breakouts are hormonal due to my age and that the argan is neither clearing nor causing them. I find myself slapping this oil on my dry patches (elbows and ankles), my lips, and my hands after I've been cleaning and my hands are beaten up. A good all around product to have, and I'll be buying it again. Hope this helps some!
I've never heard of any one using Argan oil on their face with positive results like I have with Coconut oil. I am a HUGE FAN of cold pressed Coconut oil! It's great as a butter/margarine replacement, hair treatment and for nasty dry patches on your skin [I don't even have to use a pumice stone on my elbows any more]. I've come across quite a few people who use Coconut oil to battle acne but they always say as soon as they stop using it the zits come right back. I've used Argan oil only on my hair and it works fabulously! The effects of the Argan last longer than the Coconut in my hair but I'd still go with Coconut oil because of the price! Argan oil is just a little bit too expensive for my blood... Sephora is selling Argan at $15USD for 0.5oz. You can get 16oz of Coconut for about $12USD and find it at most local grocery stores. I'd like to know if Argan has worked for anyone's acne, by the way. :]
Awesome to hear pynk nymphette! I'm looking forward to trying the coconut oil on my face to see if that helps! And you can get the argan much cheaper on Amazon and I think there are a couple etsy sellers as well. My 1.7oz bottle cost right around $20, there are several sellers on Amazon, so watch what you're buying. Some have additives, or only contain a small amount of argan.
I agree with pynk nymphette. I would recommend Coconut Oil over Argan. In beauty school my teacher would rave out the effect Coconut Oil had over her skin, she's a true believer that it is what keeps her looking young. She never told any of us her actual age, except that she was "well over 60" yet she looked 55 at the most. Since then I've slathered it all over myself like it was the secret to entering Nirnia and I've never had any bad break outs. :)
Thanks for the tips ladies!
This site debates the pros and cons of the coconut oil and argan oil and the outcomes seem to favor the coconut oil. There are details of the features and properties of coconut oil and its benefits along side of argan. The article points out that most prefer coconut oil as it is freely available at all outlets and at a better price and more importantly for its qualities. A bit of information here to help! http://www.smscoco.com/coir-fibre.html
i prefer organic argan for face n coconut for hair. use it like a leave in conditioner.
♥ Claire ♥ AngelClarice Beauty and Wellness Site www.angelclarice.com
I haven't tried Argan Oil yet but I do like Coconut Oil. It does smell strong though.
I use organic cold pressed coconut oil on my skin and hair, and I have gotten comments on how healthy my hair looks. Not bad for a 40 year old. My skin is extremely sensitive and I have been using only coconut oil for months now with no problems whatsoever. It is incredibly pure so I am glad there is nothing added. I also love cooking with my coconut oil - like on the pan when making crepes mmmm....I love it. I wouldn't use it in savoury dishes, unless it was maybe curry. I also love the smell : )
I do not use this on my skin - but I use argan oil in my hair and it works great for me. I have thin curly hair so I do need moisture - I use the brand sold at Sally's
I have been natural (3B, 3C, 4A) for over a year now. Of course even more difficult to deal with my hair now that's about 6-7 inches in length and wants to create a giant natty dreadlock! Last week I was so tempted to get back on the anti-curly crack (chemical relaxer)! A few years ago my hairdresser was all about Moroccan Oil (argan oil), now she swears by a mixture of shea butter and coconut oil. Do a heat treatment with the mixture before washing, and apply a LITTLE to wet hair. Shea butter can be very heavy, so if you have fine hair use just a little, a little goes a long way! I have a mixture of medium coarse and fine hair, so it can be very difficult to get the right product that doesn't weigh the hair down too much. So far good.I love Moroccan Oil, especially the moisturizing/conditioning mask but it's quite pricey! So - coconut oil over argan oil. I also use my homemade mixture on my skin after a bath, leaves skin feeling like silk. Good luck curlies!
Moroccan Oil has a lot of silicones in it. Argan oil is the 4th or 5th ingredient. I got a Moroccan oil treatment and absolutely loved it, but in the long run I'd use shea butter on my hair. I haven't tried coconut oil though.
Hope you ladies wouldn't take me as an intruder.Actually I am really surprise by seeing whats going on over there with cosmetic n other products related to beautify women. Don't you remember just 2 years ago there was big promotion on " Emu Oil ", and before Emu Oil there was one other Oil or "Shea Butter" promotion.... and the most surprising fact is that all cosmetic manufacturers floods the wholesalers, distributors,dealers, retailers with wide range of products having "Emu Oil" , and now again same happening with this "Argan Oil"....... now almost every store or drugstore in USA selling products having "Argan Oil" as one of the ingredients, and this being on discussion forum. I wonder nobody realizing this, it seems that american women more innocent comparing to rest of the world.Basically I am manufacturer of herbal products in different categories, in my visual and practical experience for Hair general health this Coconut Oil is useful for hair, while Apricot Bitter Kernal Oil excellent for hair as well as Amazingly Effective For Skin Health and this Emblica Myroblan (AMLA) Oil only Good for Hair. Now you note here these three fruit/herb easily available in market and well known for their purposes, since centuries....So my sincere advise not to distract by newly discovered Hair Oil and don't waste your money n time. I wrote all this just to provide the best information according to my experience, and I didn't intend to harm anybody business or products... One may continue using these newly discovered oils etc, upto their preferences.
Well said Navaid! The companies know how to make money! I got a bottle of Moroccan Oil for 30 GB pounds over here is around $50 and i just read the bottle and the stuff is covered in wax aka silicone aka Dimethicone etc etc etc so I will becareful and read the labels before I buy now, silicone is the reason why my hair has been snapping off half way!!!
I've used both products but in different ways. I've used Josie Maran's Argan Oil and in terms of face skin I did not have good results with it. I do however love using it sparingly in my hair and on my body. I purchased a small jar of organic coconut oil from Trader Joe's for about $7 and love using it as a deep conditioner for my hair and to add a moisturizing sheen to my body. Have yet to try it on my face though!
I use them for completely different reasons, and at times I have used them together in a conditioner blend I use for my hair. I like to use coconut oil for my skin instead of lotion. I also use it for protection from the sun. With argan oil I put it into my hair to lessen the friz effect I may have after processing my hair in some fashion like shampoo, blow dry, coloring etc. It's not something I apply everyday, but it's a staple in my weekly hair routine. I always get the pure Argan oil because most products are watered down versions. http://essenceofargan.com/

Why We Save Garbage
My first thought: "Oh, no no no. You don't deserve this." And I bent down, pulled it off of the branch, and cradled it in the palm of my hand.
My second thought: "I will save you." And I zipped it into my coat pocket.
My next thought: "What the hell was that?" I'd just picked up trash from a dirty Brooklyn sidewalk and put it in my pocket. Worse: if my dog likes peeing on those trees, I'd bet the other dogs in the neighborhood do, too, which made it a probable urine-soaked piece of trash. Still, I couldn't bring myself to throw it away.
Brooke Borel has a post on The Last Word on Nothing (a really terrific blog maintained by science writers), about why we develop feelings for garbage (like, actual things people have thrown away — not terrible people who have treated you not-so-well). Borel says the main reason she saved the garbage she found was because it had human features, and when you see something that looks like a human, you develop empathy for it. Basically, this is The Carrie Diaries, but for Hoarders.

Pretoria - There has been a delay in the handing over of the so-called Zuma "spy tapes", DA leader Helen Zille said on Thursday.
"I would like to say that I have the tapes, but unfortunately I don't," she told reporters outside the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.
"The deputy judge president first wants to study the (Supreme Court of Appeal) court order."
Zille said she was told to return at 2.30pm.
There was some confusion in earlier reports about what had been handed to the DA leader.
Earlier on Thursday, documentation was handed over to the DA in the presence of its forensic expert who inspected the recording devices to make sure the chain of evidence was not broken.
This followed the Supreme Court of Appeal ruling last week that within five days the National Prosecuting Authority had to comply with a previous order, in an application brought by the DA, to release the tapes.
President Jacob Zuma had opposed the move.
The recordings, internal memoranda, reports and minutes of meetings dealing with the contents of the recordings had to be provided.
Conversations on the recordings were cited as a reason to drop fraud and corruption charges against Zuma, shortly before he was sworn in as president in 2009.
Before entering the court earlier Zille addressed an excited crowd gathered outside.
"It's been five years, six court cases and it is about over 700 charges of corruption... the president," she said.
"We say everyone is equal in the eyes of the law."
Zille said she believed there were political reasons for the charges being dropped.
"That's why we believe they were removed for political reasons so that Jacob Zuma could become president in 2009.
"If this happens in a democratic country you can't call it a democracy anymore," she said.
"Today we say give us the spy tapes, we want to know the reasons."
Zille claimed political power was being used to shelter people and persecute enemies.
She said it was the DA's job to protect the Constitution, not just for the people who voted for it but for all South Africans.
However, this was the "end of the beginning", she said.
The next step would be a review application.
Zille said the "spy tapes" was only part of the evidence and the DA was entitled to get the entire record.
Zille said the state had spent almost R10 million trying to stop the recordings from being handed over.
"Tell us why," she shouted.

2% cashback just when you need it. Now with 'Mortgages to your Door' we'll come to you when it suits.
Our 3in1 Mortgage has been created with you in mind. It offers 2% cashback until 31 December 2017, plus two more great benefits to help you keep on living so you can continue to enjoy life after you've moved into your new home!
Talk to us today and we'll come to you when it suits to discuss your mortgage and how we can help you. To book an appointment you can call our dedicated appointment booking line on 1890 500 156 or +353 1 2151344.
1 year 0.5% discount on our variable rate for loan amounts up to 90% Loan to Value (LTV)
Buying or building a new home can be an expensive time so with the 3in1 Mortgage from permanent tsb we'll give you 2% of the value of your mortgage back in cash.
Our 2% cashback will give you the flexibility to buy the things you need for your new home. Or maybe a nice holiday instead. This is just one of the ways we want to make sure you can keep on living the way you want after you get your mortgage.
This great offer is open to:
There's no limit to the 2% cash back and it's available to both variable and fixed rate customers.
|Mortgage amount
|2% cash back amount
Ready to find out more? Which one are you: a first time buyer, a house mover or a mortgage switcher?
For more information, see our 2% cashback terms and conditions.
This offers you a 0.50% discount on your managed variable interest rate for 1 year. We offer a discounted managed variable rate to customers with an LTV of 90% or less.
Our variable rates are based on your loan to value (LTV) ratio and are called managed variable rates (MVRs). Your LTV ratio is the amount of your mortgage expressed as a percentage of your property's value. For example, if your house is valued at €100,000 and your mortgage is €80,000 your LTV would be 80%. The lower your LTV ratio the lower your MVR will be.
The discounted rate will apply for a period of 1 year from the date of loan issue, but may change within the 1 year discount period (and/or at any time prior to drawdown of the loan).
After 1 year your discounted mortgage rate will revert to one of our managed variable rates in line with your LTV at the time of loan issue (this will be 0.50% higher than your discount rate).
In addition to our variable rates we also offer a number of competitive fixed rates. Click here for more information.
Warning: The cost of your monthly repayments may increase.
So what are the rates?
|Variable rates
|Borrowing rate
|over 20 yrs
|over 25 yrs
|over 30 yrs
|12 Month Discounted Managed Variable Rates (MVRs)
|LTV less then or equal to 50%
|LTV greater than 50% and less than or equal to 60%
|LTV greater than 60% and less than or equal to 70%
|LTV greater than 70% and less than or equal to 80%
|LTV greater than 80% and less than or equal to 90%
APRC stands for Annual Percentage Rate of Charge.
Prefer the certainty of a fixed interest rate? We've a range of highly competitive fixed interest rates available too. View our full list of interest rates, or read more about the different types of interest rate.
Warning: You may have to pay charges if you pay off a fixed-rate loan early.
See how the 3in1 Mortgage can benefit first time buyers, house movers and those switching mortgage.

Our flexible options are tailored to your needs and make the 3in1 Mortgage from permanent tsb easy to live with.

The above information is valid as at today's date.
Warning: If you do not keep up your repayments you may lose your home.
Warning: If you do not meet the repayments on your loan, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access credit in the future.
There are other costs associated with taking out a mortgage. To find out more, please see Important Regulatory Information for Mortgages.
Lending criteria, terms & conditions will apply. Mortgage approval is subject to assessment of suitability and affordability. Applicants must be aged 18 years or over. Security is required and credit agreement will be secured by a mortgage or by a right related to residential immovable property. Life and Home Insurance are also required.
For First Time Buyers, a maximum Loan To Value (LTV) of 90% will apply to a property's purchase price. For Second Time Buyers a maximum LTV of 80% will apply. The maximum LTV for customers who hold their current mortgage with another bank but wish to switch their mortgage to permanent tsb while also releasing equity is 85%.
Maximum loan amount will typically not exceed 3.5 times an individual's gross annual income. The monthly repayment on a 20 year mortgage with Loan to Value (LTV) greater than 80% with variable borrowing rate of 4.20% on a mortgage of €100,000 is €616.57 for 240 months. Total amount repayable is €148,316.80. If interest rates increase by 1% an additional €54.48 would be payable per month. For this example, Annual Percentage Rate of Charge (APRC) of 4.32% applies and consists of variable borrowing rate of 4.20%, valuation fee of €130, Property Registration Authority (PRA) fee of €175, and security vacate fee of €35. Information correct as of 31/05/2017 but is subject to change.

Cruise Ship Travel: Stateroom Size
The better you can see the ocean,
the larger the room. And the higher the cost.
The average cruise ship stateroom is a compact, miniature version of a hotel room with all the same furnishings: dresser drawers, closet, bed, nightstand, dressing table and bathroom. Some have a sitting area.
Most passengers find the rooms adequate, realizing the only times they'll be in them is to sleep or change clothes. Unless the ship is in port, everyone tends to stay on deck in a lounge chair; use the swimming pool or one of the other exercise facilities.
During your waking hours, you'll spend far more time in the dining room than your stateroom.
Cruise lines are up front and honest about their room sizes. They're happy to tell you the following:
What's really more important in selecting a room is its proximity to:
Other important considerations:
Do you really need an ocean view or a balcony?
Inside cabins, the ones with any view at all, are the least expensive rooms on a ship. Yet they're often as spacious as the ocean view rooms. With a TV camera mounted on the bridge to act as their eyes, many experienced cruising passengers opt for inside rooms. They prefer to spend their money on shore excursions or save it to use on another cruise.
Prices go up for ocean view and balcony staterooms, in that order.
Older passenger ships rarely had balconies. They were widely introduced only recently. Balconies, like stateroom windows, may have a seriously obstructed view. Depending on the ship's design, part of the pool deck may extend out so far that it cuts off your view. A waste of space, and a waste of your money.
TIP: Save room/closet space
by putting your suitcase under your bed. Soft sided
luggage works best.
Check out the Photo Gallery featuring the Brilliance of the Seas and the Disney Wonder.
More Questions to Consider
How much does a cruise really cost? What's included and what isn't could surprise you.
What about taking children? If you have some, definitely. Otherwise, borrow one or take your grandkids.
Is ship size important?
Yes, but not in ways
What kind of clothing do I need? Cruises are dressier than most beach resorts.
dinner seating is better, early or late?
Aren't the "days at sea" boring? With so many options aboard, how can they be?
Can I sign up for shore excursions in advance? Or should I go my own way?

- Sorry, El Destructeso, no discouragement meant. One of my first articles was about flying leeches, and was baleeted long ago -- thank goodness. I think the best thing you could do is take a deep breath and write another article or two, possibly on subjects which exist on Wikipedia but which have no Uncyclopedia counterparts. The Star Wars Kid article could be surgically transformed into a six-legged Wookie, but it would be against my better judgement.----OEJ 23:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- I think the problem's still going to remain that the topic has a very shallow mine with which the TEH FUNY can be excavated. Memes are problematic that way, and someone would have to have a really great flash of inspiration to want to adopt this. Here, if you want to make fun of people, try one of these
