3. What is CSF? Can anyone become a member? What is the benefit of membership?
Beverly Hills High School´s highest scholarship recognition is California Scholarship Federation. CSF is a unique statewide organization established in 1921, whose purpose is the promotion of interest and pride in high school standards of scholarship.
Individual membership is in the local chapter (BHHS) and is based on grades earned each semester. A point system specified in the State CSF constitution establishes the membership requirements, which essentially require that students do very superior work primarily in academic subjects. Membership is neither automatic nor compulsory. The student must apply for membership during the first few weeks of a given semester. Membership is for one semester only, but may be renewed for another semester whenever the student again meets the requirements. There is a membership fee. A student who is a member of CSF for four out of six semesters in Grades 10, 11, 12, including one semester of the senior year, is designated a Sealbearer. This entitles the student to a gold seal gold to wear at graduation and a gold seal on the diploma.
4. If students participate in a sport do they need to buy PE clothes?
No. However students on teams are responsible for maintaining the uniforms that they are issued.
5. What does "sports conditioning" consist of when a student is "out of season" for his sport?
It's a conditioning program, built around a weight training program and a cardio-vascular program. The class is designed to help you to get into shape or in some cases maintain your fitness. It is much more difficult than a regular physical education class.
6. How can we receive a schedule of games or meets for sports in which our students take part?
The schedule is posted on
Schedule Star
7. Who is my student's counselor? How are houses and counselors assigned? Students are generally assigned to Houses and Counselors by alphabetical order.

10. How can a student and his parents stay on top of a student's progress in all of their classes?
The best way for a parent to stay on top of a student´s progress is by contacting teachers through Jupiter, email and/or progress reports.

12. Is there an automated phone system to advise parents of PTSA or other important meetings or events?
13. What is the correct procedure to get a student excused from class for a doctor's appointment?
The parent is to call the morning of the doctor´s appointment and advise the attendance office as to the time the student is to leave. The attendance office will then advise the parent that a doctor´s note will be required when student returns to campus, and that the absence is not excused until the doctor´s note is received. The student then comes in to pick up their permit to leave campus.
14. Does the school call the parent to verify notes for appointments?

First came the Massachusetts Miracle and a Republican won Ted Kennedy's old seat. Now the Woodmoor Improvement Association has dethroned its controversial president George McFadden, electing an opposition slate of candidates.
In a landslide.
Woodmoor resident Carolyn Streit-Carey, a political novice who helped orchestrate the coup, calls the election victory "one of the high points of my life."
The upheaval at the WIA is an example of what can happen when folks angry about their homeowners association board unite and decide to take control.
It can happen anywhere if it can happen at Woodmoor, one of the largest HOAs in Colorado with 3,000 homeowners in the woods east of Monument.
But the election was easy compared to what comes next . . . trying to unify a sharply divided community.
True, the slate of Nick Oakley, Paul Lambert and Jim Hale won a decisive victory over the McFadden-endorsed group of Bill Brendemuhl, Gary Marner and George Labesky. The victors averaged 650 or so votes each to just 420 or so each for the losers.
So it was far from unanimous. Clearly, McFadden had support for his overhaul of the WIA, for the community parties he organized, the new rules he imposed and his handling of the professional staff that manages the neighborhood.
So, how will the new president, Chuck Maher, govern?
"We are going to give people an opportunity to say what's on their mind," Maher said. "We are going to survey the community. Find out what their needs are. Let them air their grievances. And then we are going to operate in the open."
Critics of McFadden accused him of squelching opposition and hiding board actions. They cite the decision to spend $20,000 to build trails and a parking lot at a neighborhood marsh. It generated a furor among some residents and they felt ignored.
McFadden, who remains on the board with two allies, did not return calls seeking comment.
Maher said accountability and transparency are keys to winning over those who liked McFadden and Co.
"It will be a tough thing to bridge," Maher said of the rift in Woodmoor. "But we elected some really talented people. We'll get there."
Maher said he will continue some McFadden policies.
"There was some nuts and bolts stuff they did well," he said. "And they made a good attempt to get the community more involved by hosting community parties. The parties weren't a bad idea, just the amount of money they spent on them."
And, perhaps most importantly, folks like Streit-Carey promise to stay involved.
"Now the real work starts," she said. "Our group will remain active. We're going to stand behind our candidates and support them."
She wouldn't dare relax now.
"We have to stay involved," she said. "Next year, McFadden runs for re-election."

As you may be aware if you've browsed Drudge today, the president took time out of his schedule to call into a Miami radio program in order to weigh in on one of the most pressing crises of our day: I'm speaking, of course, of the ongoing feud between R&B pop-stars and American Idol co-hosts Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj.
The feud boiled over a couple weeks ago with Nicki calling Mariah a @!#$ and a 3#$%^ing $%^& on camera. Then Mariah said Nicki made a death threat. And then rock'n'roll went to die in a corner somewhere. But I digress…
What you may not be aware of is that this radio call-in, in which the president calmly explains to radio host Michael Yo (who styles himself as "a half-black brother with a Korean mother" — in case you're interested) just why it is that he's so confident that the two pop divas can overcome their differences (and thus resolve a crisis that threatens to stir up enough interest to keep America's worst and longest-running televised karaoke contest alive for one more season) is part of a series of radio call-ins that the president's campaign has arranged in order to shore up the waning enthusiasm of his base within the Urban Adult Contemporary radio demographic. More simply put, MC Obama needs your vote.
"I think both outstanding artists are going to be able to make sure that they're moving forward and not going backwards," the prezzy reassured concerned listeners, while the tick-tock of the nuclear crisis in Iran sounded somewhere deep beneath the static of his phone connection.

Grand Theft Auto IV
Review by Rottenwood
"Sucker Punch"
Arguably the most anticipated game in recent history, 'Grand Theft Auto IV' has a lot to live up to. Between the adult content and sandbox-style wide-open gameplay, the series changed the software landscape irrevocably, and pushed the PlayStation 2 out to a lead it would never relinquish. Now, the next generation of hardware is here: has Rockstar similarly raised the bar? As you might dread, the answer is predictable: yes and no. While 'Grand Theft Auto IV' provides a deliriously rich environment to explore that is laden with mighty production values, the gameplay has not made any significant strides, and deja vu begins to set in after the twenty-hour mark. You'll play the game to the bitter end, mind you: you'll just notice you were having more fun in the first half.
This latest crime saga revolves around Niko Bellic, an Eastern European immigrant who has literally just gotten off the boat in Liberty City, Rockstar's not-even-remotely-veiled parody of New York City. With a dark past of brutal military service and crime, Niko is eager to start a new life in America with his cousin Roman, who has claimed to hit it rich. But to no one's surprise, Roman was stretching the truth a bit, and you'll soon find yourself back in the Grand Theft groove again. doing dozens of illegal jobs for various crime lords, gangsters, corrupt lawmen, and so on.
And that's a shame, because Niko Bellic had a lot of potential. 'Casting' an Eastern European as the lead was a unique choice, and rather than being the usual cocky outlaw who loves the gangster life, Niko pursues his life of crime with a weary cynicism. His icy shell and military background make him an ideal arch-criminal, but the game occasionally shows moments where he resents his lifestyle. The small handful of special missions that deal with his character development are terrific stuff.
Unfortunately, the other 97% of the missions are the usual Grand Theft Auto junk: doing hits, chasing down cars, and transporting illegal cargo and all that jazz, for another generic collection of gangster knuckleheads. I actually found myself hoping Niko would stay relatively poor-ish and remain a blue-collar criminal, just for something new, but as per usual, you spend the last half of the game sitting on six figures, driving expensive sports cars in designer suits. The game adds something resembling a true love interest as the game goes along (to go with the handful of mistresses you can choose to acquire), but it never feels particularly genuine, and unless you choose to take her out yourself in your free time, you'll barely interact with her at all. 'Grand Theft Auto IV' feels like the creative team had a real spark in the beginning, but put the game on auto-pilot after a few hours.
But all is certainly not lost. The Grand Theft Formula hasn't sold millions of games for no reason, and for a while, 'Grand Theft Auto IV' is able to floor you even as it dishes out more of the same. As someone who lived in New York City for years, Liberty City is a remarkable simulation of the Big Apple. The rich graphics engine and busy streets feel just right, and while the place names have been changed to protect the innocent, you'll still know it when you're driving through Manhattan and passing by famous landmarks. (Or, at least, their digital and rudely-named equivalents.) Of course, you can still drive at a hundred miles an hour against traffic and not get into trouble, but some Grand Theft conventions are worth keeping.
The combat engine is pretty solid, although it definitely feels like the game is on the 'easy' setting. Niko is a crack shot at almost any range, and by using the auto-target system, it only takes a moment to have a foe locked-on to be dispatched in a hail of bullets. While the game eventually heaps decent-sized hordes of enemies at you, they go down quickly, and using solid cover more or less keeps you completely safe from enemy fire. You can still get smoked by an opponent that gets the drop on you, though, so you'd better bring body armor with you if you're not the cautious type. The weapon selection is a bit slim (you can use one of two choices for each weapon type, ranging from pistols to assault rifles), but it covers all the bases.
With that being said, the only way you're likely to fail a mission is for there to be some sort of chase sequence, and your car ends up getting stuck or flipping over or what have you while your prey escapes. Annoying as this is, 'Grand Theft Auto IV' has mercifully added a new function where you can restart a mission through your cellular phone, rather than having to drive all the way back to the mission-giver and start from square one. Grand Theft veterans will be grateful indeed for this contrivance.
When you're not killing people for money, you can give Niko a passable social life as well. Various people you meet through missions (or on-line) can become your friends or girlfriends, although like all friends, you'll need to take them out now and then to maintain your relationship. Liberty City offers a number of activities for just this purpose, including bowling alleys, pool halls, and even comedy and cabaret shows. The mechanics for the mini-games are quite good, making them fun in their own right, and seeing Ricky Gervais do stand-up in digital form was pretty unexpected, to say the least. The dating aspect of the game is a bit hollow, but some of the dialogue between Niko and his ladies is pretty entertaining. The three 'mistress' girls are delightful parodies of less-than-spectacular girlfriends, including a nurse who wastes all her money on shallow garbage instead of improving her life, a spoiled rich girl who does nothing but funnel her arrogance through her blog, and a lawyer who is constantly taken advantage of by criminal men because her ultra-liberal sponginess causes her to believe the fault is always with 'the system.'
But don't worry, neo-conservatives, for Rockstar has two barrels of ammunition for you guys as well. Weazel News has a firm strangehold on information in Liberty City, and like the Fox News it parodies, it is little more than mindless jingoism and endless liberal-bashing. And much like Hannity or O'Reilly, it uses pointless social 'scandals' (the gay firefighter menace!) to keep people distracted as Weazel's corporate and government puppermasters loot the country at will. There's also a Limbaugh parody on the radio, and if this seems like a bit of overkill, it probably is. But art is just a sign of the times, and with the right's strong manipulation of the media, it's no surprise that Rockstar (a popular villain of the 'family values' crowd) would blast back. Jokes about America's imperial aggression and willingness to trade lives for oil profits will probably not sit well with some, but the 'values' critics will probably miss it while complaining about the hookers anyhow.
As always, 'Grand Theft Auto IV' features hours of scripted entertainment that has nothing to do with the 'main' game. Almost 20 radio stations provide a wide variety of music styles, hilarious talk shows, and parody commercials. While some have criticized the music in the game (mostly because of the lack of current or major hit songs), it's really quite good. Rockstar really dipped into a pretty deep catalog of tunes (listen to Journey or Radio Broker, for example) to provide some interesting choices.
As the game nears it's conclusion, you can make some major storyline decisions, causing the plot to branch in different directions. While this certainly sounds intriguing, it leads to a fairly soggy finish. (This applies to the final missions I saw; perhaps the other route is more satisfying.) I choice a path of vengeance and took out a 'bad guy' who had wronged me earlier in the game, but it lacked heft because he had more or less disappeared for the last 15 hours of game play, severely weakening his impact. And the final mission had me hunt down a former employer (and a fairly cruddy and minor character at that) who killed someone close to Niko while aiming for him. If hunting down some mid-level gangster goon who accidentally killed someone in your circle sounds like a pretty weak finish, well, it is. And the mission itself, featuring a random motorcycle chase and an assault helicopter, just feels silly, like Rockstar was trying too hard. Worst of all, the game just sort of continues after the credits roll, since most players will want to keep going to do all the side content. After a series of events that would seemingly define his life.... Niko goes to steal some cars or hunt pigeons for side points. Just doesn't gel.
Which isn't to say the side work isn't fun, because it can be. It's just VERY familiar stuff. Collecting packages, shooting 200 pigeons, stealing cars for an employer... same ol' same ol'. Grabbing a police car can let you hunt down criminals for a while as a vigilante, but after a little while, it grows stale. Driving cabs again? Um, yay?
The slow feeling of familiarity takes over most aspects of the game. Shooting it out with the police can be chaotic fun as always, but after three previous Grand Theft games, you've undoubtedly done it too much already. Some added grit helps (wounded victims cry for help on the ground, and your death sequence is in a very stylish black-and-white slow shot), but with no special dangers/rewards at the fabled 'six stars' of police aggression, it's just not the same. That's right: no tanks, for better or worse.
But just as you complain, the game shows flashes of brilliance. You can access E-mail and the Internet in the game, and they are absolute spot-on satires of the worst elements of the Web. You could spend hours just reading the riffs on MySpace, blogging, and spam mail and be perfectly entertained. And getting drunk is good stuff, too. Not only are the effects on the game hilarious, but if you're with someone, the liquor will cause them to say things they can't say while sober, revealing new (and often dark) sides of the game's cast. As the game wore on, I began to wonder if the creative team has become more interested in writing the side material than they are the actual game.
So the game is a mixed bag, but it's a HUGE bag, so you're bound to find a ton of stuff you'll enjoy. If you've somehow never played a Grand Theft game to this point, run out and pick this up immediately. If you're an old fan.... well, you already bought this game anyhow, according to the sales reports, so you've made your mind up already on your own. While this review may seem overly negative, I enjoyed 'Grand Theft Auto IV' quite a lot. I can see why the immediate reviews were so glowing, as the game is an undeniable spectacle during your first few sessions. If only Rockstar had the guts to expand on their mission formula, they'd really have a masterpiece on their hands. Oh well, there's always 'Grand Theft Auto: Boston' next year...
Reviewer's Rating: 3.5 - Good

tipping do you
UPDATE: culvers is a fast food place. Kind of like McDonalds but they bring your food out to you but that's it you do everything yourself.
Of course I tip and no less than 20% or more. Last week I tipped about a dollar over 50% because I felt it was deserved. There have been a few times I have followed customers out side and handed their shitty ass tip back to them and told them if they tip appropriately then I don't want the damn tip at all. Anyone who can't /does not want to tip accordingly does not deserve to go out at all and needs to stay home and provide their own services.
Idk what culvers is but asking for a tip is rather rude. I won't leave tips at dunkin donuts or Starbucks, I think that's ridicules. But I definitely tip nicely at a sit down restaurant.
while I do tip, and tip well since I'm a former server / bartender, I will not tip the culvers workers. they get at least minimum wage, and tips are not expected in fast food. for him to have blatantly ask for one would have gotten him reported to the manager on duty.
If that happened I would of laughed and offered a piece of gum.
I have no clue what Culvers is. I do tip at restaurants where it is appropriate. We try to always tip well, but if I have crappy service, then I am not leaving a good tip. Why should I pay good if I have to wait 10 minutes for a refil or ask for steak sauce and it never comes? If it is a one time thing and an apology is given, then it can be overlooked, but to get a bad tip, the service has been bad the entire time.
When my daughter graduated college, I took our friends and family out to dinner. The bill was $400. We had an awesome server. I tipped him a $100 bill. He picked the money up off the table and I saw him walk into the backroom in tears.
This man earned his tip the man at Culvers did not.
If it is a sit down restaurant where a server takes your order and brings you your food and drink then we tip 20%. If it is a fast food joint like McDonalds, then no tipping. If it is a buffet place, we usually leave a few bucks on the table.
I'm the same way as amber, except if I was blantantly asked like that, I would say, "really, how about 0", and let the manager know about it.
Quoting amberNewman0213: If I get good service I leave a good tip. If I get bad service I will not tip.if I get great service I tip quite a bit and let a manager know.
If that happened I would of laughed and offered a piece of gum.

Elan 295: A Rare Sailboat
The Elan 295 is rare for her balance between performace and cruiing comfort
If you're of the persuasion that simple handling, a comfortable motion and a useful turn of speed are what every cruising sailor needs, this handsome 30- footer will strike a chord. She comes from the board of Rob Humphreys, which goes a long way to explaining her rakish looks and sizzling performance. What's more, compared to some other new boats of a similar size, she's not expensive.
The Elan looks well put together and boasts a quality of finish equal to most mainstream builders, both above and below decks. Humphreys has given her a tall, well-raked fractional rig, yet nothing has been taken to extremes. On deck, she's also geared towards efficiency; the well-specified hardware from Lewmar and Spinlock includes jamming headsail foot blocks and cockpit-controlled genoa cars. However, the mainsheet purchase lacked power, and the traveller cleats were awkwardly mounted for controlling from the windward side. Also, the headsail tracks were too far aft.
However, she slips along so beautifully that it's hard to feel too critical. We shot off on a beam reach at 6 knots in only 12 knots of true wind, and in spite of her light weight and performance figures she sliced her way to windward impressively smoothly. This is largely thanks to her fine entry, U-shape bow sections and narrow waterline beam. Her most remarkable feature however was her lack of pitching. Directional stability was good too - she didn't wander off course as soon as you blinked, and she proved easy to keep in the groove to windward. We maintained 5.5 knots hard on the wind in 15 knots of breeze, tacking through between 60-70 degrees by the compass. Freeing off to a broad reach, the speed climbed to 6.7 knots. With the wind dying to 8 knots, we still reached at an easy 5 knots. All round, the 295's forgiving nature and smooth ride made her far more relaxing to sail than many pure cruisers. She is one of those rare boats which makes a keen helmsman reluctant to relinquish his grip on the tiller - not only is she a delight to sail but the driving position is first class.
Under power, the test boat had the optional Yanmar 2GM (an extra £1,100) which, driving a two-bladed fixed prop, gave an impressive max speed of 7.4 knots at 4,000rpm without a hint of squatting. A comfortable 3,000rpm produced 6.6 knots. Full marks too for manoeuvrability, slightly fewer for sound insulation.
It comes as no surprise to find that the Elan is rather less roomy below decks than many of her competitors. She compensates by being light, airy and generally neatly finished. Although slightly narrower than Humphreys would have chosen, he added an inch or two to the coachroof giving 1.8m (6ft 1in) headroom at the after end of the saloon. Stowage is limited by the shallow bilge and the presence of an 18-gallon stainless water tank under each saloon berth. Galley, chart table and heads facilities are all adequate if unremarkable

To say that the Elan 295 has potential is an understatement. She fills a gap in the market for a sporty yet unextreme 30-footer which - to my mind - comes closer than most to achieving the perfect balance between performance, comfort and simplicity.
Sailing performance, sailing comfort, value for money
Deck control niggles, smaller interior than many competitors

This coffin plate for John F Rebstock is fairly standard for the time. It is constructed from silver plated cast metal. Before about 1890 most coffin plates were constructed from thin plate metal.
I went and had a look for John in the 1900 United States Federal Census.

What excusions to take in each port?
Any info about the ship we should know?
Any info about cabin 8187 (Balcony)Panorama Deck
Is anyone else here going on the same cruise?
Anything that you think might be helpful so I can insure that my wife will have a great time. It's her first time cruising!
We are flyiing into Ft. Lauderdale the evening before.
Thanks again everyone and have a great day.
Kozman01. Here's a tip. One of the dancers will be my daughter. If you meet a dancer from New Hampshire USA that will be her. greet her with a hearty hello from her dad, and congradulate her on her upcoming wedding. The Senior sound tech is her finace. Then tell the people next to you in the audience that you know one of the dancers and watch the reaction. The entertainment crew will hang out at the piano bar or disco after the shows where you can meet them casually if you want to. They have to wear their name tags so you can tell how they are.
I also understand there is a Beatles review that is good. It's one of the main lounges production shows If you are a beatles fan don't miss it.
Have a great cruise

While President Barack Obama says he will now allow people to keep their health insurance that's facing cancellation, it's left those with the policies still full of questions, and insurers "waiting for guidelines."
"I am glad they are making steps that seem to be in the right direction for people like me. It really does not make me feel a whole lot better," said Anna Young whose AccessTN policy is ending on December 31."And for me the clock is ticking."
Anna suffers from a rare muscular disease that requires a certain drug to keep her from being in a wheelchair.
She has not been able to get answers as whether the drug, Myfortic, will be covered, and affordable, under new policies she might purchase, but now she's not sure if her soon-to-be-canceled policy at AccessTN will remain in effect for another year.
"I have got to have something in place January 1 that I can count on for my drug coverage, or at least know what I am dealing with so I can budget accordingly," Anna told News 2 shortly after the president's announcement.
Anna's policy through AccessTN, which is for high-risk individuals who had been classified by insurers as "uninsurable" in the past, is actually a BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee policy.
The Chattanooga-based company contracted with the state to provide the coverage.
BlueCross BlueShield of TN spokesperson Gary Tanner released a statement to News 2 about the President Obama's actions on Thursday saying, "Since 2010, we've been committed to complying with the health care law. We're continuing to monitor these developments to understand the President's new direction. We'll seek guidance from our state and federal regulators before we can clearly define any actions we may take."
The state's TennCare program, which administers AccessTN, released a similar statement that read, "The state and its contractors have been working for several years to prepare for the ramifications of the Affordable Care Act which includes changes to the Cover Tennessee programs. Now just over a month away from the full implementation of those changes, the federal government has changed direction. Once the official policy is outlined and provided to states and insurers, we will be reviewing them and evaluating what effect these changes will have on the state operated programs."
"The onus will be on the insurance companies," Nashville insurance broker Austin Madison told News 2.
He says insurance companies face a difficult decision deciding if they will extend policies they were canceling to comply with the increased coverage required by Obamacare.
"This is like turning the Titanic, insurance companies are huge and for the past three years the thumb has been on them to make these changes and do away with the plans that don't meet these requirements," added the broker.
Madison said turning that Titanic ship of Obamacare could impact everyone.
He says individuals keeping their plans, especially young ones, won't help getting enough people on Obamacare to make it work financially.
"If we don't hear that number by March of where we are supposed to be at, we are going to experience some significant rate shock next year for health care premiums," he warned. "Its going to be an interesting next couple of years I think."

IMG Academies plans to start a high school football team that will begin playing in 2013.
Here is the press release IMG sent:
IMG Academy to field a high school football team in 2013
BRADENTON – Today IMG Academy announced it will field a high school football team for the 2013-2014 school year. Current IMG Academy Director of Football, and former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL quarterback, Chris Weinke, will serve as the team's head coach and will be flanked by a staff of position-specific coaches with collegiate and NFL coaching and playing experience.
"Through our camps, clinics, combines and individual training, I have spent an incredible two years at IMG Academy working with some of the most talented young football players in the nation" said Chris Weinke. "I have been looking forward to the day we could announce the formation of a competitive team, and that day is finally here."
Offering an unparalleled college preparatory experience combined with access to the best training methodologies, world-renowned coaches and trainers, and professional-grade facilities, the IMG Academy program will rival many college environments.
"Student-athletes are enrolled in one of the most challenging and rewarding football development programs in the country," remarked IMG Academy's Athletics Director, Greg Phillips. "The college preparatory experience here is second-to-none, and we expect our first class of football student-athletes will take full advantage of the resources made available to them as they look to advance to the next level."
Student-athletes will receive on-and off-field training from the same IMG coaches and performance experts who have trained countless collegiate and NFL greats like Drew Brees, Eli Manning, LaDainian Tomlinson, Cam Newton and, most recently, 2012 NFL Draft top-ten picks Ryan Tannehill and Luke Kuechly. Additionally, IMG Academy continues to serve as a training destination for NFL, CFL and European league teams looking for access to the best coaches and facilities in one convenient location.
Launched in the summer of 2010, the IMG Academy football program rolled out an extensive series of football and performance training camps, which continue to attract youth, high school, collegiate and professional players to the 450-acre IMG campus. Now, Academy program enrollees will join one of the most culturally-diverse and talented student bodies in the world, consisting of more than 750 student-athletes representing 85 countries – all with a shared goal of maximizing academic and athletic performance.
Football team practice will begin in the spring of 2013. A full competitive schedule will be made available in the coming months. To register and learn more about the upcoming football season, please visit: http://www.imgacademies.com/football or call the Admissions Office at 1.800.872.6425 (Florida residents: 1.866.300.4331).

Revitalize your hair's texture and protect your color with EverPure Rosemary Juniper Moisture Shampoo by L'Oreal.
I dye my hair red, so I'm always on the hunt for the next best shampoo that will keep my color from fading longer. I picked up this shampoo because it's sulfate-free and it claims to be a "color-protecting" shampoo. I'm not too keen on the smell. It's not unpleasant by any means, but it's a minty smell, and I just can't get used to that when it comes to shampoo. Other than that, as far as what it does for my hair: it does make it very moisturized and soft. As far as keeping color, I would say it does a decent job. Not amazing, but definitely better than other color-protecting shampoos that I've tried. I did notice that my hair faded a little bit slower than it usually does.
I find most vegan shampoo's feel like they don't wash my hair completely but this product was like using a top of the line product. It is good for your hair and completely cruelty free! I would suggest you try it at least once and see what it can do for your locks :) and you will be helping to support vegan products which isn't a bad thing.
I have fine (lots of it though) curly hair and it has improved my hair soooo much! i also color it so this has kept my color looking good while working well on curls. After I use both the shampoo and conditioner I put on some serum, comb with a wide tooth comb and then reshape! perfect natural curls :)
I have tried this and I think it's amazing, my hair hasn't felt this healthy in ages. I used this one during the summer as it gets dry and i also tend to find my hair gets freezy when i go out (i live in Florida so it gets humid) and this shampoo & conditioner did wonders.
I found a L'oreal EverPure "starter kit" on clearance about a year ago for like $3. It had shampoo, conditioner and another product from the line. Since it HAS been a while, I don't remember the smell being weird. I do remember that this product did wonder's for my hair. I had been using some nasty Suave product, and using this was like switching to salon product overnite! I think if you can get past the smell, this might be a nice alternative if you cannot afford salon product for your hair.
This shampoo would be awesome if not for the smell. I love what it does to my hair but I don't want to feel like I'm rubbing herbs on my head. I'm sure some people don't mind but it really grosses me out. But I'll keep using it until I find another sulfate free shampoo in the same price range.
Im up for trying anything that is sulfate free, and it was a plus that it is color protecting because I do have color treated hair! I actually like this product, but I cant say that is is my favorite.
i find this left my hair feeling very heavy and weighted. greasy, even. i might rebuy just to try again since its supposed to be sulfate free and i colour my hair a lot. but i think its just average, kinda like a 2 in 1, a little bit heavy for my limp hair.
I bought this shampoo (and conditioner) because I heard a guru on Youtube mention how much she liked it. I tried it out and hated the smell, for one. It smelled strange...I can't really describe it. It didn't do anything bad to my hair, but didn't do anything for it either. Not impressed.
I love sulfate free shampoos, so I'll try anything that is sulfate free...but the smell of this shampoo is awful! When I wash my hair with it, I can still smell it after my hair is dry. It is a decent shampoo; nothing too amazing. And it isn't truly sulfate free, it does have some sulfates in it.

Kidding. I will makes me an app.
Brother of the Black
Brothers of the Black - Forum
Song of Ice and Fire - Westeros
Estimated Members Requested: 5
Greetings from the Wall!
You, oh esteemed weavers of myth, have been cordially invited to join the prestigious Brotherhood of the Night's Watch. Well, some of you were invited, others conscripted, but that's beside the point. In any case, pack your heavy cloaks and your best pair of boots, because you're headed to the end of the world! Here you'll reside in the fabulous Castle Black, eat five-star gruel and salt meat, and spend your nights in a luxurious cell of your very own.
But wait, there's more! When called upon, you'll be sent out into the freezing Lands Beyond the Wall to range and do your commander's bidding. You'll see such sights as the Haunted Forest, the Frostfang Mountains, Storrold's Point, and even the Land of Always Winter! All of this and more can be yours for the low cost of a lifelong vow of servitude and celibacy. But don't worry, you won't be alone, for you'll be surrounded by fellow rapists, murderers, and thieves who've also given up everything to join the ranks of our exclusive Brotherhood.
We look forward to hearing from you... if you have a choice in the matter, that is!
Okay then... I'm Oz, and I'll be your Narrator for this game. The usual conventions for applying are in order; I'm ideally looking for five players, chosen at the end of the process. Submit applications by creating a thread HERE. Make sure you read the house rules presented HERE. There will be no dealing with Houses for this game, so don't worry about that. If you have any questions, ask them here or HERE.
Posting rates will be casual, hopefully every day or so, but I'll try to work towards a comfortable rate for everyone. To compensate for the PbP format, the adventure will be faster paced, meaning that I will skip the boring parts if I see things starting to break down. As always, you get out of it what you put into it.
Game Description:
Welcome to the Watch! In this game, you'll be taking on the role of a Brother of the Night's Watch, and all the glory that it entails. You'll begin on the Kingsroad, traveling to Castle Black, either to be trained and sworn in, or escorting the aforementioned and ensuring they don't run astray. From there, the game will shift focus to ranging and negotiating with the free folk. Set in the decline of summer, you'll have to earn your wools soon if you hope to survive the coming winter.

Problems Using NIK Products AND LR3. Corrupt/Missing Files
Hi All
Wondering if anyone else is experienceing either of these major problems I'm having using this popular software combo:
1) Firstly, whenever I work an image in SEP2 or CEP3 (and probably Viveza2), return to LR3, THEN do some additional work on the image, I get the following message: "There was an unknown error while writing metadata to this photo. Retry?" I'm then prompted to "Import settings from disk" which causes me to lose the second set of changes. This has been happening for the past few weeks.
2) Around 10% of all images I work on with NIK software are corrupted and lost. Typically what happens is that I'll work on a bunch of images from a job and then when I go to export them from LR3 I'll get some sort of message saying it wasn't successful or that the image is missing. This is incredibly frustrating as it usually manifests itself when I'm burning a client's final images to a disc. It means that I have to go and rework those images while guessing what the changes I'd made were. This has been happening for months.
I'm not sure if this is a Lightroom issue or a NIK issue, but either way, it's costing me a lot of time and has substantially reduced my motivation to use NIK products.
I believe that I have the current versions of both LR3 and the various NIK products.
Any thoughts?

Jennifer Hudson has hopped aboard the increasingly popular pixie cut hair train!
The singer/actress tells Access Hollywood she was ready to switch it up (a la Jennifer Lawrence, Kristin Chenoweth, Beyonce and more!).
"I wanted a change, something different and it's grown and sexy," Jennifer told Access at the unveiling of her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday. "It's just like, this is the new JHud, Jennifer! I said if I'm gonna go short, I'm gonna go all the way… and here it is."
PHOTOS: Celebrity Hair Transformations
As for receiving the coveted Hollywood star, the 32-year-old said she can hardly believe her good fortune.
"It's just an honor just to have one and to be here and it's been a journey," she said. "It's like OK, this is a good sign, this is an inspiration for me to keep pushing on.
"I just want to grow and I love what I do and I just want to continue to get better and learn and learn whether it's film, music , spokesperson," she continued. "I just want to be here."

It really speaks volumes about the nature of politics in Washington that in order to be accepted as a serious participant in the budget debates, it is now necessary to affirm a willingness to cut Social Security. This is bizarre from many different angles.
Of course number one on this list is our little secret -- WE STILL HAVE A HUGE UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM. Apparently the folks here in DC aren't on to this one, but close to 25 million people are unemployed, underemployed or out of the workforce altogether because of the downturn caused by the collapse of the housing bubble.
There is now a gentleman's agreement between President Obama and the Republican congressional leadership that we won't talk about the unemployed anymore. We will just have discussions about the best way to reduce the budget deficit. It's sort of like discussing the paint job on the Titanic as the ship sinks.
The second reason why the pledge to cut Social Security is bizarre is that it is not part of the deficit story. Under the law, Social Security can only spend the money in its trust fund and not a penny more. This means that every dollar spent by Social Security was came from dedicated taxes or the interest on bonds purchased with those designated taxes.
In years after 2037 the program is projected to face a shortfall, but even then this would not contribute to the deficit. If nothing is ever done then the program would pay out about 80 percent of scheduled benefits, an amount equal to its projected tax revenue at that point in time. It will not add to the deficit.
The third reason that it is bizarre that Social Security is on the table is that current benefits are not especially generous. The average monthly benefit is just over $1,100 and the maximum is just over $2,300. The benefits are progressive, so higher wage earners already get a low return on their contributions.
Finally, we know that most retirees and near retirees have very little money other than Social Security. One of the main reasons that near retirees have little money is that the Social Security bashers did such a horrible job managing the economy.
Because this crew let the housing bubble grow unchecked, tens of millions of older workers failed to save as much as necessary, thinking that they were accumulating wealth in their home. Now that the bubble has collapsed, the huge baby boom cohort is hitting retirement without defined benefit pensions, with little money in 401(k)s and little equity in their homes. How does it make sense to cut benefits for these people?
But the SS cutters are on the warpath, insisting that you have to support beating up the elderly if you want to take part in the budget debates. But the folks at Social Security Works, a coalition of groups set up to protect Social Security is fighting back. They produced a new video that deserves a wide audience.

I need to make cake squares for a tea. is there a trick to cutting them so they will have straight sides. mine are never exactly square and sometimes will fall over
First of all, you should use the magic cake strips to bake a sheet cake that is about 1.5 inches deep. That will start you with a nice flat top on the cake. Don't make the cake any deeper than 2", it's a lot harder to cut squares.
If you like:Cut this cake in half and fill it with icing or jam. Trim the baked edges off or not.
Stick the cake on a piece of cardboard into the fridge for an hour. In the meantime, wash a ruler (plastic or steel) to have it ready to lay on the cake.
Use the clean ruler and toothpicks to mark where to cut the cake sandwich, both at the top and along the bottom edge.
Then use a serrated bread knife to cut the cold cake by lining up the knife with the ruler and doing one cut at a time carefully. By lining up the knife at both top and bottom, your squares should be straight.
When I cut a sheet cake (or something really sticky) I use waxed dental floss. Just mark where you want your cuts, set your cold cake on something that lifts it up off the counter a little and pull the dental floss straight down from opposite sides.

BUFORD - Gwinnett County Police released several video stills Wednesday in hopes of finding the man responsible for an armed robbery in Buford.
Police said the suspect robbed a BP gas station clerk at gunpoint at 2483 Hamilton Mill Road on November 11th. It happened around 4:45 a.m.
"We don't attribute this suspect to any other robberies in our jurisdiction yet, but there is the concern he might be operating elsewhere or that he might do this again," Police Cpl Jake Smith said.
The suspect left on foot after taking $100 from the cash register. No one was injured, according to police.
Suspect is described as white, 19-25 years old, approximately 5'10" to 6'01" tall, 170 to 190 pounds. Police said the suspect's hands were described as dirty or greasy, "like a mechanic's hands."
"The video is pretty good from the incident, and the still photos we are hopeful will lead us to this person's identity," Smith said.
Police ask anyone with suspect information call the Gwinnett County Police Department Robbery Unit at 770-513-5300.

Larry McMillen, an award-winning sports writer for The Times-Picayune for a quarter- century, died Sunday in a Memphis, Tenn., hospital from complications due to a stroke he suffered late last week. He was 69.
McMillen worked for The Times-Picayune from 1968-93 during which he was the newspaper's beat writer for LSU, the Saints and Tulane
He also was the staff's lead enterprise reporter. Among the stories he was involved with were the Saints' cocaine scandal in 1980 and point-shaving by members of the Tulane basketball team in 1985.
"Larry was a pro all the way," former Times-Picayune assistant sports editor Will Peneguy said. "He refused no assignments and was always willing to get the job done.
"Larry also had a great sense of humor and was always able to find the funny side of every situation. He was just a good person to be around."
Herb Vincent, LSU's associate vice chancellor for university relations, dealt with McMillen with the New Orleans Breakers of the USFL in the early 1980s and later at LSU.
"Larry asked the tough questions, but he was always fair and always thorough," Vincent said. "He was one of the most tireless workers as a beat writer I ever knew."
McMillen retired from The Times-Picayune in 1993 after suffering a back injury while covering the NCAA West Regional in Seattle before that year's Final Four in New Orleans.
He moved to his hometown of New Albany, Miss., where he served a term on the local American Legion post and also participated in a college football picks show on cable access station in neighboring Tupelo.
A graduate of Ole Miss who also attended the Naval Academy, McMillen remained a sports fan until the end, his daughter, Ashleigh McMillen, recalled Sunday.
"I loved LSU and Daddy loved Ole Miss, so during the week we they played, we wouldn't speak," she said. "We had the LSU game on last night, but I was telling him how Ole Miss won, too.
"And he may not have been writing sports any more, but you would always see him asking people questions like he was interviewing them."
Besides his daughter, McMillen is survived by his wife, Bettye McMillen, his mother Corinna McMillen, a brother, David McMillen and a sister Kathy Allred.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete, but burial is expected to be Wednesday in New Albany.
Ted Lewis can be contacted at email@example.com or 504.232.5071.

Polish Off Soakies - Baby Pink
We all love to use Chrome powder, Holo powder, but they need a Gel polish base. Or we just paint our nails with Gel polish because it last for ages. Only problem, it's so hard to remove. You have to wrap your fingers in Aluminium foil, or soak you entire finger tips in pure acetone. Or pick at the Gel polish for ages and damage your nails and your cuticle.
Mitty has the answer, Polish Off Soakies. Latex Free, Allergy Free, made from medical grade silicone. Can be reused hundreds, possibly even thousands of times.
Super simple to use, just cut a make up remover pad into quarters. You can purchase packs of 100 or so for just a few dollars. So 100 pads = 400 fingers......
Now place acetone on the pad, slip the pad inside your awesome Mitty soakie and slide the soakie onto your finger. Wait 10-15 minutes, your done Gel polish simply comes off. The bonus is you can continue to do stuff with your fingers, unlike other methods.....
Keep in mind 10-15 minutes are suggested time and this is totally based on the type of nail polish remover you use. If you are removing glitter, you need to allow much less time, like 2-4 minutes. Always use your judgement and you can easily remove the cap to see if you need to allow more time or not.
Each pack contains 5 Latex Free, Medical Grade Silicon Mitty Polish Off Soakies.

Hi all,
I was wondering if there is some sort of define that is set whenever a kernel/program is compiled /built for a certain architecture type. I usually debug my kernels on the CPU using printfs, which result in an empty build error log when I try to compile for the GPU on Lion. I figured if I had a way to wrap my printfs like the following
Code :#if defined(_CPU_) #define PRINT(fmt, ...) printf(fmt, ...) #else #define PRINT(fmt, ...) #endif
Then I would not need to uncomment my debug code whenever I do a quick switch to my GPU to see if the code runs.
Thank you

After turning record surpluses into record deficits and increasing spending 50 percent, President Bush has no credibility on the issue of fiscal responsibility. Yet his speech today perfectly illustrates how his priorities compare to Democrats' priorities and the priorities of our hard-working middle-class families. President Bush is willing to spend endlessly for the war in Iraq, with money borrowed largely from foreigners, while refusing to invest in important priorities here at home, like children's health care, medical research, local law enforcement and homeland security. President Bush should stop playing politics and work with Congress to pass legislation that reflects the needs of our middle class families here at home.
President Bush's priority – $2.4 trillion for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan without paying for it:
New CBO Study Puts Cost of Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan at $2.4 Trillion – Costing Every Man, Woman and Child $8,000. "The cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could total $2.4 trillion through the next decade, or nearly $8,000 per man, woman and child in the country, according to a Congressional Budget Office estimate scheduled for release Wednesday. A previous CBO estimate put the wars' costs at more than $1.6 trillion. This one adds $705 billion in interest, taking into account that the conflicts are being funded with borrowed money…Assuming that Iraq accounts for about 80% of that total, the Iraq war would cost $1.9 trillion, including $564 million in interest, said Thomas Kahn, Spratt's staff director." [USA Today, 10/24/07]
President Bush falsely claims spending has skyrocketed under Democratic Leadership:
"Spending is skyrocketing under their leadership, at least proposed spending is skyrocketing under their leadership. After all, they're trying to spend an additional $205 billion over the next five years. Some have said, well, take doesn't matter much, not that much money. But $205 billion over the next five years in the real word amounts to this $4.7 Million per hour, every hour for every day for the next five years."
President Bush Has Threatened to Veto Spending Bills Above His Overall Budget Request. President Bush has said he will veto spending bills that exceed his overall request. The difference between Democrats' spending bills and the president's budget request is relatively small, $22 billion more than his $933-billion proposal, an increase of about 2 percent. The $22 billion represents less than 1 percent of the entire federal budget and Democrats contend the number pales in comparison with the amount being spent in Iraq, approximately $10 billion a month and more than $450 billion since 2003. [Los Angeles Times, 9/25/07; New York Times, 9/24/07]
- Difference Amounts to What We Spend in Iraq in 2 Months. According to a recent report from the Congressional Research Service, the U.S. is spending approximately $10 billion per month for the war in Iraq. The $22 billion difference amounts to a little over two months spending in Iraq. [CRS Report, 7/16/07]
President Bush Never Vetoed a Spending Bill from the Republican Congress. "Before Democrats took control of Congress from Republicans in January, Bush never vetoed any of these regular spending bills, even though they created record deficits and ran up the federal debt by about $3 trillion." [Associated Press, 7/26/07]
President Bush Signed Legislation that Exceeded His Request. Just since 2003, President Bush has signed supplemental appropriations bills that exceeded his requests by more than $11 billion (with the extra spending totaling $4.4 billion in FY03, $3.7 billion in FY04, $3.2 billion in FY05, and $48 million in FY06). [Congressional Budget Office]
President falsely claims he wants to work with Congress on children's health insurance program, while misrepresenting new bill
"After going nowhere, congress should instead work with the administration that puts poor children first. A bill that will take care of the poor children that the initial bill said we got to do. A bill that would stop diverting money to adults. You realize some major states in the united states spend more money on adults than they do on children. We want a bill that enrolls the more than 500,000 poor children currently eligible for the program who are not a part of the program. We want to sit down in good faith and come up with a bill that is responsible."
President Bush Refused to Meet With Congressional Leaders Himself to Find Compromise on Children's Health Insurance Bill….. During his weekly pen and pad, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said,"So I would hope the President, if in fact a veto is not overwritten in the House, and we should know that within the next…a little bit, I would hope that the President will sit down and engage us. Now the Speaker and I asked him yesterday to meet with us. You know, he's gone around saying 'why don't they lee-way, why don't they talk, why don't they negotiate, why don't they compromise with us.' He said 'no, I'm not moving, meet with my staff.'" [Senator Reid Pen and Pad, 10/18/07]
