My daughter Iris Natalia Castellanos has Down syndrome. I was told while pregnant that she would most likely have Down syndrome but did not get a confirmation of diagnosis until after she was born. From the beginning doctors are always looking for a way to tell you what your child might not achieve. My daughter is three months old. So far she made it out of the ICU after seven weeks healthy, drinks from a bottle when they said she wouldn't, smiles, coos, turns over from tummy to back and vice versa, does full circles when placed on tummy, does baby pushups, reaches for toys, tracks toys with her eyes, shows interest when I read her books, and loves to take a bath.
I never knew what to expect when I brought her home but one thing was for sure, I was scared. Fear of the unknown can be so debilitating. Now I realize that my fears were created by professionals, most of whom are not familiar enough with children who have special needs. Iris has opened my eyes to a whole other world in just three months. Every day that I watch her grow and thrive I realize that the possibilities are endless for her. The only one that has the power to put any limits on what she can do would be my husband and I. We have decided that there are no limits for her (of course within reason once she is a teenager). I believe that she will make her mark in this world like she already has on my heart. She is smart beyond her tender three months of age. She has come a long way since her days in the NICU. She is determined. She is feisty. She is beautiful. She is my daughter Iris. She is my world.

Replay: Doctrine is not doctrine anymore
Four years ago, I wrote a post called "Doctrine is not doctrine anymore." The point of the post is to consider how "doctrine" is usually viewed today as concepts or knowledge. But, to the authors of the New Testament, "doctrine" or "instruction" or "teaching" (all translations of the same word) goes much, much beyond concepts or knowledge and instead encompasses a way of life. Think about how much different our teaching would be if we were as concerned with a way of life instead of only facts.
Doctrine is not doctrine anymore
In Acts 2:42, Luke begins to describe the response of those first Christians after receiving the promised Holy Spirit:
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. (Acts 2:42 ESV)
What does it mean that these early followers of Jesus "devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching"? As long as I can remember, I've been taught that this means that they listened to sermons by the apostles, or at least by those who had heard sermons by the apostles. So, they "devoted themselves" or they "continued in" or they "persevered in" listening to someone teach them.
This sounds good. We all know that "teaching" or "doctrine" is a set of biblical fact, so it makes sense that those early believers would spend time listening to what the apostles had to say. They studied "doctrine" so that they would know what they needed to know.
But, there's a problem with this picture. "Teaching" or "doctrine" or "instruction" (they are translations of the same word – no difference) in Scripture does not point to something that is simply known. Instead, "teaching" points to something that is demonstrated in both word and deed. Words alone would not be considered a "teaching"; but words combined with a living example would be considered a "teaching".
Don't misunderstand me… When I say "words combined with a living example", I'm not talking about a sermon with application points. "Applications points" are still words. Instead, I'm saying that someone who brings a "teaching" or "doctrine" only does so when the life of the "teacher" matches the words and is demonstrated before the ones who are learning. In other words, a "teaching" combines both words and a way of living that is witnessed and imitated by those who are learning.
Consider Paul's words to the church in Phillipi:
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me – practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:9 ESV)
Consider his reminder to the Thessalonians:
For we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed – God is witness. Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children. So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us. For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God. You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers. (1 Thessalonians 2:5-10 ESV)
Finally, in his letter to Titus, Paul specifically connects "doctrine" and "teaching" to more than words, as he parallels "teach what accords with sound doctrine" with "show yourself":
But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. Slaves are to be submissive to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior. (Titus 2:1-10 ESV)
Titus was to teach with his words, but just as importantly, he was to teach with his life. For Paul, teaching with words could not be separated from teaching with lifestyle. Of course, this means that Titus would have to live his life among those he was teaching. It was not enough to simply see them occasionally. In order to Titus to teach "sound doctrine" he would have to live "sound doctrine" with the people.
So, those early believers that Luke described in Acts 2 were devoting themselves to the words and lifestyle of the apostles. They heard what the apostles said, and they saw how the apostles lived. In response to this and to the Spirit's work in their lives, they spoke and lived in the same way. They did not simply listen to sermons about what to belief. They heard, watched, and lived with the apostles and other believers, and learned from their "living doctrine".
What does this mean for us? It means that when we make a list of "beliefs" and call it "doctrine", we are not using the word "doctrine" in a scriptural sense. It means that when we stand before a group of strangers and give them good, biblical information, we are not bringing a "teaching" in the way that the word is used in Scripture.
Primarily, for those of us who desire to make disciples of Jesus Christ, it means that our lives must demonstrate what our mouth is saying. We must live among and with people who are learning from us. Teaching cannot be done at a distance to an audience of strangers. Teaching (in the scriptural sense) occurs when people share their lives together, not when the teacher stands behind a podium.

Pow. And there it is. This hit me like a bag of bricks. There is a time for random acts of evangelism, to be sure. But seriously, is not ours a relational faith at its core? If we have the opportunity and the luxury of being able to spend time with a non-believer, shouldn't we take it?
I do err on the side of simply telling folks His Words and leaving it between them and Him. I do. However, a saying I have is "Don't invite people to your church; invite them into your life." I need to remember this, as it seems I have strayed from it. Doctrine is cool, and I do so enjoy discussions about it with brothers, but it ain't gonna save no one. Jesus alone saves. I want Him to be the wholeness of all my doctrines, then. 🙂
The growth of mega-churches and television preachers has contributed to the idea that as long as we hear it and gain knowledge, we are being discipled. Or maybe it's a result of that idea.
The growth of systems of knowledge and instruction that separate formation and information are a legacy of the Enlightenment; but the Reformers, like Luther, unintentionally reinforced that movement. In a course I facilitated at the St Francis Centre this past week I spent some time in Bernard of Clairvaux, who is famous for a pithy saying – God is not known if God is not loved. I also used Pascal, " the heart has its reasons which reason cannot know." And his intention was to point out that there is an affective logic that does not map onto the rationalist and cognitive maps of the post-Enlightenment era, but that in fact is an older, more holistic epistemology.

I like it
It has a very nice start, but it doesn't feel like it quite went anywhere. The first minute is almost all the same. By the time it transitions, the song is fading out to the end.
As it is, it's not bad. With a little work, it could be awesome. It's a shame you don't have more work on Newgrounds.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very Danny Elfman-sih!
Don't forget the new Charley and the Chocolate Factory. The opening theme from that movie was composed by Mr. Elfman, and that makes me want to cream my pants. Then use that cream to fill a chocolate bar of some types.
On to the song:
I wish it were longer, and had more kick, like a big build up or something. But it's well done as is. 5/5.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Very Good!
It kinda reminds me of Banjo Kazooie soundtracks. Very good piece of music! 9/10
Danny Elfman is a componist. If I am not mistaken, he wrote the scores for Batman the Movie and i think also Rocky!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I like it a lot! It has great form, a rarity among most submissions here!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
fable... this is pretty cool, i'm not sure what to put for originality as i have no clue who danny elfman is, very well composed.

Plastic producer PolyOne immediately stepped up with its guaranteed-safe and regulatory-compliant products through its No Surprise Pledge following the latest recall of Chinese toys allegedly containing a coma-inducing chemical 1,4 butanediol when ingested.
At PolyOne, we are committed to helping you grow your business with safe and environmentally
sound solutions. This commitment is exemplified by our No Surprises PledgeSM which we make to all customers and markets, across the globe.
This pledge means:
• You can be confident that, in formulating and manufacturing our materials, we use
sustainable practices to provide long-term product viability and sound environmental
• You can expect that the materials we produce contain only ingredients that conform to
accepted legal and regulatory compliance guidelines.
• You can trust that PolyOne materials meet the rigorous quality and safety management
standards required across the globe.
• You can be certain that PolyOne meets or exceeds the material safety data reporting
requirements of your country or region.
• When you choose PolyOne, you can be confident our products will help you meet or
exceed today's stringent compliance standards.
Will a pledge like this from chemical companies help keep toys and consumer products safe? Maybe. But do chemical companies really know and track where their products are being used? It is up to toy and other consumer products manufacturers to make sure the chemicals and ingredients they bought for are used properly. They should be the one making this type of pledge and assuring their customers, the consumers, that their products exceed stringent compliance standards.

Pope's website crashes
The pope's website crashed amid a flood of interest in the new leader of the world's 1.1 billion Roman Catholics.
The site, www.ratzingerfanclub.com, could not be accessed after yesterday's papal announcement in Rome.
It features biographical information about Germany's Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now known as Pope Benedict XVI.
It also carries speeches and glowing praise from his followers.
Those interested in buying a "Cardinal Ratzinger Fan Club" t-shirt emblazoned with quotes from the new pope online will also have to wait until the site is up and running again.
One t-shirt has the words: "The Cardinal Ratzinger Fan Club. Putting the Smackdown on Heresy since 1981!"

Have Toyota Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello and thank you for using just answer.
Verify for me here- this is a 2002 4 cylinder correct? Are all these codes currently stored?
Thank you.
You have 2 issues here.
First let's seperate the codes.
P0446 is most likely why the light has been on for a while, this is a EVAP system leak, not a big deal right now or anything to be alarmed about, this is most likley just a bad fuel cap or loose line.
What you need to focus on is the p300 codes and p1300.
P1300 is an igniter circuit code. You are incorrect on your coil information.
Each cyliner has it's own coil pack bolted above the spoark plug, this contains the coil and igniter for each of the independant cylinders. Most likely you have 1 bad ignition coil here, to properly diagnose this you need a scn tool to read the data list to "see" what cylinder is misfiring. Do NOT waste your $$$ on a coil from anywhere other then the dealer, trust me on this one. Get 1 new coil and move it around if you don't have a scan tool to better trace this. I am about to drive home here but will be back online shortly if you need more input on this.
Yes this can be a little confusing, each coil pack has 4 wires, a power, a ground, a igt and an igf signal, the power and ground energize the coil, igt and igf are the computer signals to fire and to tell the computer that the coil did fire. When igf does not send signal back it sets the p1300 code, you need an osciloscope to check these 2 signals.
Also be aware of a few more things here:
1- the catalytic converter is VERY sensitive on this car and very expensive, plan on a $800 part if you keep running this engine with a misfire
2- spark plugs- you need to be sure you used IRIDIUM spark plugs, required by this system
3- still needing a scan tool here, unplugging a coil is not the proper way to check for a misfire, you need to read the misfire data list to determine this.
I would take that new coil and move it around to each of the 4 cylinders to see if this clears it up if you have no scan tool access or install a spark tester to "see" spark.
I have to be honest, yeah I'm laughing a little right now, yes autolite and Bosch are both horrible plugs for this motor, sounds like you got taken advantage of at autozone last night. I highly recommend only a NGK or a Denso spark plug in this car. However the spark plug will not cause a constant/heavy misfire as you have right now or the p1300 code.
Before you spend $100 on a diag fee have you checked to see what scan tools are available at auto zone? All you need is a scan tool that can read codes and data lists.....many parts stores also RENT scanners or high quality. I would like to guide you through this here to save you some $$$ but certain things will require some scan tool tests. My fear here is you start throwing parts at the car and not resolve anything or possibly damage a $800 converter.
We need to see a datalist for misfires at this point.
As long as you have compression then you will find that a coil or a fuel injector is the issue here.
Logging out for dinner, I'll be back shortly if you need me.
Thank you
Yes disconnecting the battery will clear the memory in the ECM and reset the light, disconnect the battery for several minutes.
NO DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR! I guarantee a $800 catalytic converter failure and major issues if you do so. Stop driving this car. As I stated before my intention is to help you here and try to save you $$$$, if you drive this car you defeat the purpose and intentionally cause additional damage.

''DE-EVOLUTION is real. The things we talked about came to pass and surpassed our greatest paranoia.''
DEVO co-founder Gerald Casale forecast a chilly future of corporate hegemony, consumer drones and political puppets back in 1973.
''We apologise for being right,'' the 64-year-old icon of new wave says. ''We tried to warn people, with a sense of humour, but it's not funny any more.
''Mitt Romney will address millions of people and openly admit that facts don't matter, basically saying, 'People are so dumb, and their attention spans are so short, we can say anything we want'.''
All of this seems a far cry from the Devo we know and love for their kooky hats and novelty S&M songs.
Casale points to the infamous Kent State University shootings in May, 1970 as the event that claimed his political innocence. National Guardsmen turned their weapons on student protesters and gunned down 13, killing two of Casale's friends.
After the bloodbath, Casale formulated the ''Theory of Devolution'', a manifesto mocking dysfunctional US society. With college pals Mark Mothersbaugh and Bob Lewis, Casale introduced a performance art group called Sextet Devo in 1973.
''Whenever you do something like Devo does, you're going to get in trouble,'' Casale says of the band's early years, when they frequently cleared venues with their surreal, satirical music. ''But it feels better to get into trouble than to have nothing to say. A defining moment - that took us from being a regional cult band to national consciousness - was playing our version of [the Rolling Stones'] Satisfaction on Saturday Night Live.''
The 1978 SNL spot - with Devo's manic, robotic dance moves, choppy electronic pop and poker-face parody - made them a sensation. David Bowie proclaimed them ''the band of the future'' onstage in New York City. Brian Eno beat out Bowie and Iggy Pop to produce their first album, Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!
In 1979, Duty Now for the Future confirmed Devo as cartoon subversives. Casale came into his own as the band's chief strategist. He co-wrote most of the hits, directed Devo's videos, and designed their memorable stage costumes, including the red Energy Dome hats and yellow radiation suits.
''What we were trying to do was come up with images that were iconic and lasting,'' Casale says, recalling how Devo's own creation got away from them as early as 1980's Freedom of Choice. ''But we lost fans who decided we'd sold out when we released Whip It.''
Devo, now dressed like Hitler Youth-inspired Scouts with plastic JFK pompadours and corporate insignia, were labelled ''fascist clowns'' for the totalitarian chic on New Traditionalists (1981) and the darker Oh, No! It's Devo (1982), then critically drubbed for an over-reliance on technology for Shout (1984).
''That was the beginning of the end. We were no longer commenting on machines, we were the victims of machines, and the music became irrelevant,'' Casales says. Devo limped on for Total Devo (1988) and Smooth Noodle Maps (1990), before a 20-year break from recording. Casale moonlighted with Jihad Jerry and the Evildoers; Mark Mothersbaugh's music production studio, Mutato Muzika, scored video games, cartoons, TV, and Wes Anderson films.
In 2010 Devo released Something for Everybody and - a far cry from SNL - performed on the preschoolers' show, Yo Gabba Gabba!
''There's a whole new audience that discovered us watching YouTube videos and downloading old songs,'' Casales says. ''The younger crowd don't see it as controversial or polarising or weird at all. They think that what we're doing is quite contemporary and, just maybe, we were the grandfathers of modern music.''
Devo play a sold-out show at the Palais, St Kilda, on November 30, and A Day on the Green at Rochford Wines, Yarra Valley on December 1.

Thank you for your question and thank you kindly for allowing me to assist you again.That can be enforced. Just lease be advised of a very important caveat--a property settlement agreement or alimony is generally binding and final once granted. It is not able to be modified later unless there was fraud or misrepresentation during the settlement agreement. A custodial order, however, can be modified as it is independent and is based on what the courts see as being in the best interest of the child. Your negotiation cannot have clauses or conditions where he would agree to not challenge custodial orders as such language would not be valid or binding.Good luck.

July: A Busy Time
July is busy on the breeding grounds. Females are feeding their growing babies. Until the babies fledge they are completely dependent on their mothers for all their food. Later in July the young have fledged and will follow their mothers to nearby feeders. Meanwhile, males are putting on the fat. Fewer hours of sunlight trigger the urge to migrate as fall approaches, and males leave first. Some will start migration in mid-July. Hummingbirds migrate at the time when their food is most plentiful, and they can more than double their weight before migration. By leaving first, males are ensuring more insects and nectar available for the babies.

One of the staples of an election campaign is the Scrutiny of the Daily Itinerary. The leaders' staff guard their schedules like they are the map to the Holy Grail, so when the next day's events are finally posted, we study them for deeper, hidden meaning.
If a leader is visiting a riding that was thought to be a safe seat for them, are they circling the wagons to ward off a perceived threat? If they are stopping somewhere that would have been considered a long shot for them, does the visit signal unexpected momentum?
The narratives, as with most narratives drawn from a scrap of information, are probably too convenient. But it was hard not to look at the events of the final day of this too-long campaign and divine troubling signs for Andrea Horwath and the NDP. Three of the four ridings that Tim Hudak and the PCs were visiting have NDP incumbents. And the campaign of Kathleen Wynne would hit six Toronto ridings, none of them Liberal-held, and five of them last coloured NDP orange. Sharks with blood in the proverbial water, it would seem. Or, did they suddenly detect an NDP surge that they were scrambling to beat back?
Meanwhile, Ms. Horwath was motoring hither and yon, hitting eight ridings from Brampton to Kingston, only a couple of them in which the party was thought to be competitive. Most significantly, the NDP leader wasn't spending any time in the same ridings on which the Premier was focusing: downtown Toronto seats that have long been considered NDP strongholds but which might be up for grabs this time around: Toronto-Danforth, Beaches-East York, Trinity-Spadina, Parkdale-High Park. The opportunities for armchair strategizing were ripe: Was Ms. Horwath staying out of the way in the downtown core so beleaguered campaigns could focus on preserving local support (and not have the leader as a potential anchor)? Or was the NDP so confident of holding its own ridings that it could afford to send the leader off on a tour of longshots?
The level of brow-furrowing and chin-scratching among observers increased further on Wednesday when Ms. Wynne softened the hard, direct push she had been making for NDP votes over the last few days.
"To those who want to stop Tim Hudak," the Premier said at a French elementary school in Toronto-Danforth, "I say, welcome." She also offered that the Liberals were "the only party that can stop Tim Hudak and preserve the Ontario that we all know and love," which was more in keeping with the doomsaying that she had offered on the campaign since Sunday. But there was little attempt to specifically reach out to people who have voted NDP in the past, and Ms. Wynne didn't warn anyone that a vote for Ms. Horwath was really a vote for a Hudak government, as she has recently said routinely.
Again, what does it mean? Have the Liberals encountered some blowback from potential NDP switchers who were repelled by the brazen attempt to frighten voters away from Ms. Horwath? (There was, anecdotally, some evidence of this on the trail.) Or perhaps the Wynne camp's internal polling suggested that they had pushed that tactic as far as it could go, and wanted to dial it down so the Premier would present as less strident on the final day of campaigning. A flurry of polls released on Thursday were, as one would expect this campaign, highly contradictory.
Whatever the case, this much is evident: the Liberals believe downtown Toronto is in play, while the Conservatives think they can steal back seats in Tory-friendly regions like Kitchener-Waterloo that were lost to the NDP in recent by-elections. If either of those possibilities comes to pass, it spells certain doom for the orange party, and quite possibly will be the leader's Waterloo.
NDP staffers have been saying for weeks now that their campaign was on the cusp of catching fire and, if it turns out that it has done so in recent days to the point where the party will significantly outperform expectations on Thursday, then they will no doubt sing songs and write poems one day about the stirring NDP comeback of 2014.
If not, Ms. Horwath is in for the second-guessing of a lifetime. As would be Mr. Hudak if he fails, again, to knock off the Liberals.
Only Ms. Wynne would seem to be personally safe no matter the election's outcome. She inherited a lousy situation and, though critics can question her decision to abandon fiscal prudence (raises hand), precious few Liberals have expressed misgivings about the strategy. This, from a party that knows a thing or two about shiving its leaders.
As Ms. Wynne barnstormed through the NDP riding of Davenport on Thursday afternoon, to cheers in an Italian café, she looked like a leader with nothing to lose.
Perhaps that's because she feels that way.

Cornish pub operator St Austell Brewery agrees £40m refinancing deal
The new bi-lateral package involves a £10m loan fand £12.5m revolving credit facility (RCF) from Royal Bank of Scotland's corporate banking team in Bristol and £12.5m RCF, plus working capital facilities of £5m from Barclays.
Colin Stratton, finance director at St Austell Brewery said the refinancing would allow the company to also invest in its brewing facilities and to develop new products.
"We benefit from a strong independent, customer-focused business model and see further opportunities to grow our presence in prime South West markets. The banking and business support we receive is instrumental in our success; the teams at Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays have shown a strong understanding of our markets and requirements," he said.
174 pubs
A statement from one of the banks involved in the refinancing package claims the company will use the new facility to explore growth possibilities and is keen to expand its estate.
St Austell Brewery currently has 174 pubs across Cornwall, the Scilly Isles, Devon and Somerset and it is not yet known whether any expansion that may come from the refinancing would continue to be focused in the South-West or stretch further afield.
The company has an annual turnover of nearly £100m and employs around 1,000 people. It was founded in 1851 by Walter Hicks and remains in private hands.
In July last year it was announced St Austell Brewery had been nominated for the Innovation in Training Award at the British Institute of Innkeeping (BII) NITA awards which recognises pub sector training efforts; an award the brewery went on to win.

Need Castor Oil Recipes
I made my butter and have a lot of castor oil left over. Wondering what are some good castor oil based recipes. Ideally, I want a spritz/spray, or a creme/butter that I can use when taking down protective styles.
The guy at the health food store told me castor oil is great for dry skin. Ke said jamaican black is best but I heard it smells.
Mix it with jojoba or sweet almond oil and use it on your scalp overnight once or twice a week.
My hair grew one inch in one month because of that. I also use pure CO on my lashes. And I can see the diff.
Sent from my iPod touch using CurlTalk
Use it on ur eyelashes it makes them longer
Sent from my iPod touch using CurlTalk
Some say massaging it on your scalp can help hair growth. Could you CO wash castor oil out?
Castor oil
+ Conditioner = Deep conditioner, more moisturizing
+ Coconut oil - strengthens hair, penetrates hair, protein-like
+ Olive oil - helps hair growth, softens hair, penetrates hair
+ wet hair - seal moisture in, keeps moisture in but keeps more from coming in, so apply it after moisture treatments
+ scalp massage = encourages hair growth, thickens thinning hair, softens
+ eyebrows - fills eyebrows in
+ eyelashes - stronger, moisturized lashes = longer, thicker lashes
+ drink = laxative, cleans you out
+ skin = moisturizes skin.. Lip balm?
I use it everyday to wash my face (oil cleansing method). I mix it with apricot oil or grapeseed oil and I just started adding honey too, my face feels like satin :)
Sent from my SCH-I500 using CurlTalk App
Oh, me too. But I use a castor oil and sunflower oil mix. I heard some of the oils eventually clog their pores and break people out, even the original mix which is olive oil. I think that it depends on the comedogenicity (is that a word?) rating.
You can check the list at http://www.zerozits.com/Articles/acn...e/article6.htm
Olive oil is 2 - medium
Coconut oil - 4
Jojaba is 0-2 - good
Castor oil is 1 - good
Sunflower oil is 0 - very good
Check the list for more.
On the eyelash growth I did read that some where about it. And I've been applying that with vitamin e to my eyes. I swear the lashes on the bottom are fuller and they do look longer although I've had long eyelashes always before using the oil. But u can use castor oil for various things. It's really good for sealing in moisture. I've been using it in conjunction with a water based styler and oil based cream. Hair is soft and shiny and twists are defined.
Perfect if you use a mix of castor oil and beautiful textures shine and silken growth oil. It lightens castor oil very well , and has LOTS of good vitamins and oils mixed in it. It's been 3 weeks and I think it's making my hair grow
oil looks like this http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...hgFr3mBrfx4lnN
bought from sally's
Do you know the ratio you are supposed to use? I have my homemade leave in conditioner and would like to try adding castor oil to it.
The profile of the person above you says she has not been here since Sept. of last year.
Castor oil is a heavy oil so before you add it to the whole batch measure out an individual portion of your LI and just add a few drops to it to see how you like it, and don't put any near your scalp, I remember you mentioned having enough oil there. I added some to my old Suave Lavender Lilac but only use it right after coloring my hair (and it leaves my hair well-moisturized).
Jamaican black castor oil for hair growth
Hey guys just discovered this thread... look at these wonderful Jamaican Black Castor Oil hair growth recipes that i found!!
they are awesome because they come with directions and all the ingredients in the right proportions!... it just goes to show that when you dig you can find some awesome stuff... share it with a girlfriend!
check it out here: black green and gold DOTCOM and then click on the recipe tab
I have noticed that each time I used my Suave Lavender and Lilac to which I added castor oil my hair seemed very nicely moisturized. I just about ran out of that so I'm going to try mixing a little into a different CO.
I've also added some to the small bottle with Africa's Best Ultimate Herbal Oil I keep in the BA even though it's listed as one of the oils in it. I read it's good for cleaning the skin and in the winter I use it all over my face, now I use it mainly to remove eye-makeup or on dry spots anywhere on my skin but sometimes to SOTC too and on my ends and canopy when I go wavy or straight.

New home, same old problems
Republic of Ireland 1 - 0 WalesIn a week when the shadow of Roy Keane hovered over Ireland's international squad once again, it was fitting that a boy hailing from county Cork etched his name in history as the first soccer player to score at Croke Park.
His latest blast in the direction of Irish football administrators was all too predictable and probably justified, yet his accusation that players picked purely on their reputations and star names have let their country down in recent internationals rattled more than a few cages within the Ireland squad.
However, it was his claims that natives of his own county, the shoulder-chip outpost know as Cork, are not picked for the national team as a point of geographic principle that hit a raw nerve. The argument that Dubliners are favoured ahead of others at international level may have been true in yesteryear, but as Stephen Ireland waltzed through the Wales defence to open the scoring after 37 minutes, Keane's theory went up in smoke.
It was a classy goal to interrupt a truly awful international that summed up the demise suffered by the Welsh and Irish national teams in the last few years. Long gone are the days when these two sides sent a shiver of fear down the spines of the most illustrious of opponents as their recent slump in the FIFA rankings was reflected in this second rate game.
The first half an hour was a little like a training match between two sides who had been given the chance to play a friendly game to open a new stadium. Fine, Croke Park was making its debut as a soccer venue, but as this Euro 2008 qualifier was a must win game for both, the lack of urgency shown by the players was bizarre.
There were a few exceptions. Manchester City midfielder Ireland did his best to lift the tempo with a bustling display, while Irish captain Robbie Keane showed the sort of energy Damien Duff and Kevin Kilbane lacked.
Hated by many in the Irish media, Spurs hitman Keane did his best to lift his side with a whole hearted display and he was creator-in-chief for the game's only goal, as his perfect through ball set up Ireland for the a great winner.
A yellow card means Keane misses Wednesday night's qualifier against Slovakia and it brought plenty of sniping comments from those around me in the press box. One poison pen pusher was quick to claim the 'little upstart' had picked up the caution so that he could nip off to Dubai for a few days in the sun, but such abuse is harsh.
Keane was far from Ireland's worst player and hapless manager Staunton was the first to admit his team need to do much better if they are to have any hopes of forcing their way back into contention for a place in the Euro 2008 finals.
'It's a pleasing result, but I'm not going to pretend it was a great performance,' stated the nervy manager whose inability to handle a press conference with even a hint of charm was in evidence once again.
'We can hold onto the ball much better than that and we gave it away far too much in the second half, but we were comfortable at the back and have picked up a great win.
'The winning goal was fantastic and we just have to hope that the little knock Stephen Ireland picked up in the second half doesn't keep him out of the game on Wednesday night. He has been great for us in the last few games and the cool composure he showed in taking his goal was impressive.'
The Dublin media have been against Staunton from the start of his ill-judged reign as Ireland boss, so it's hardly surprising that more than a few had come to Croke Park ready to hammer the final nail into his creaking coffin. The 5-2 defeat in Cyprus and the near calamity as they scrambled victory against San Marino last month has left few in any doubt that the manager without an ounce of personality is the wrong man for the job, but he seems determined to carry on.
'I don't expect people to stop criticising me just because we have won a game,' added Staunton with a nervy smile.
'Everyone thinks they are an expert and likes to have an opinion of what I should or shouldn't be doing. We just have to win the home games and see where that takes us. We have a few points in the bag now and the table is looking a little bit better for us, but there is a hell of a long way to go in this qualifying campaign.'
Even in victory, Staunton looked to be struggling to take much satisfaction after game that failed to catch fire and his opposite number seemed equally uninspired.
'The first half was as bad as we have performed in my time in charge,' said John Toshack.
'I couldn't really explain what I was seeing and we could have no complaints about going in a goal behind. Ireland took his goal very well, so credit to him for that.
'We did better after the break, but if I'm being honest, it was difficult to see how we were going to score a goal. We lacked the invention required to open up sides at this level.'
Perhaps the biggest winner on a day when the beautiful game was nowhere to be seen was the magnificent venue staging the game.
Some ancient grievances needed to be overcome before rugby and soccer could be played at Croke Park and it was well worthwhile as this stadium is a jewel in the Irish crown. With this immaculate stadium situated in the heart of Dublin, there should be no need to redevelop the creaking wreck that was their old home at Lansdowne Road.
It's something of a tragedy that Ireland's brief stay at Croker comes at a time when the nation cannot provide a soccer team or a manager fit to grace this fine stage, but you can't have everything in life.
As Roy Keane never tires of reminding us, this is one national team who specialise in settling for second best.

Chai, a new Thai restaurant in North Andover, is the nickname of the owner, Vuttichai Senabunyarithi.
He and his family moved here from Thailand, a quarter-century ago, and opened a couple of New Hampshire restaurants: Giant of Siam, in Nashua, and Chao Praya, in Salem. Their latest venture, Chai, opened a year ago. It's housed in a Colonial-style building, resembling many of the large homes in the area. The dining room's soaring open-beam ceiling gives a lofty feeling, as if being in church.
Senabunyarithi strives to appeal to a broad clientele by offering two menus: Japanese and Thai. What's a little disconcerting is that the two cuisines have little in common other than rice.
We ordered from the Thai menu, because that's why we had chosen Chai in the first place. This was a good move, as it took us a while to read through the 90 items on just the one menu. We started with one of our Thai favorites, bags of gold ($6.99). The name described the diced shrimp and vegetables stuffed inside wonton skins, which were tied off with seaweed. The bags were deep fried and served with a tangy, Thai plum sauce. It was tasty, but the stuffing was a little chunkier than expected.
For a second appetizer, we ordered kinnare wings ($5.75). These were marinated, deep-fried chicken wings, served with a sweet chili sauce. My husband and I would have preferred more spice, but Senbunyarithi said he tones it down to accommodate the more sensitive New England palate.
From the chef's specialties, we ordered three entrees. Rainbow ($14.95), as the name implies, was a happy, multi-colored combo of sauted shrimp, beef, chicken, carrots, baby corn, snow peas, onions, and cashews, mixed with a tangy red sauce.
Feeling a little more adventurous, we chose Typhoon ($17.99), one of the extra spicy items. Judging by the ingredients -- salmon, shrimp, and squid sauted with Thai and Mexican chili peppers and steamed mussels -- it looked quite promising to spicy-food lovers like us. Unfortunately, it was not at all fiery. Again, Senabunyarithi said he was afraid of making the dish too spicy.
Certainly Thai food doesn't need to be hot to be good, and the butcher grilled sirloin ($15.99) is a great example. This whole sirloin was marinated in a black bean sauce and served with a sweet cinnamon prune sauce, sherry, garlic, and ginger. It was topped by slices of prunes. The only improvement here could have been a better cut of meat, such as a filet.
The chicken pad thai ($8.99), a Thai standard, was quite good. Thin, flat rice stick noodles were sauted with bean sprouts, scallions, and dried shrimp, and then blended with Thai spices and a peanut sauce. Crushed peanuts capped the mound of noodles.
Desserts were limited to sorbet, ginger ice cream, fried ice cream ($4.95), and fried bananas ($4.59).
One of the pleasures in Thai dining is the exotic romp through the spice rack -- a fusion of unexpected tastes as found in butcher grilled sirloin. Unfortunately, not all of the dishes were as bold and exciting.
It occurred to me that something is sacrificed when one tries too hard to please everyone. This, unfortunately, appears to be true of Chai.

The Suhl factory closed before the end of World War I; the Tillowitz factory remained operational until the beginning of World War II.

text: Don't let today fool you. I have heard a lot of people claiming that a big reason we won was because Leftwhich was having a terrible game. But why was he having a terrible game? Maybe it was his injured ankle. he did do the splits early in the game, too, which couldn't have felt good. But I would like to believe its because of our Dl. I think the reason that Leftwhich was so off, and the reason we won the game, was because we disrupted Jax's timing. Its very important in NFL passing games, and we consistently brought pressure into their pocket. Sure we didn't rake up the sacks, but thats because Leftwhich was smart enough to get the ball out before we could get to him. The result, however, was overthrows/underthrows/throws to no one. ALl possible results of disruprted timing. Sure some of his throws were pure error on his part, but maybe a big part of that was he felt he was being rushed.

BOY SCOUT TROOPS in Scotland
This weeks Sepia Saturday theme is scouting. Though I was in scouting for a few years as a Brownie and Girl Scout, by the time I was heading into junior high I got out of it. I have one photo, which I have misplaced, of me in my Brownie uniform with my troop, and my best friend, taken either aboard a submarine or a destroyer, I can't remember which. We visited both at different times in Pearl Harbor.
The following real photo post cards come from my paternal grandparents collection. My grandfather was a scout master in Motherwell, Scotland. He is not in either of the troop photos. I have no idea who any of the people are, though I've always laughed that the one short fellow in the back row of the first photo looks like a scared Roger Daltry.
To see more scouting ephemera visit my site Tattered and Lost Ephemera to see some pages from the 1960 American Boy Scout Handbook.

Scouts are always prepared..that last photo is a hoot! :)ReplyDelete
It was the flat caps worn by the men in two of the photos that caught my attention.ReplyDelete
These are great! That boy on the stretcher looks quite ill, lol.ReplyDelete
Kathy M.
Fantastic. I love all of the photos, but especially the last tow. They look as if they are taking their duties very seriously.ReplyDelete
True Sepia Scouts! The 'action' pictures are great. I wonder how many takes they had to do!ReplyDelete
Those really are wonderful photographs, each one is an historical treasure house in its own way.ReplyDelete
I'm guessing late teens since they left Scotland around 1921.ReplyDelete

NEWTON, IA - Before you graduated high school, did you ever lead the points standings and rally off two wins in the NASCAR Nationwide Series?
Didn't think so. But 18 year-old phenom Chase Elliott, has.
Elliott will attempt a unique double-duty this weekend as he graduates from his Georgia high school on Saturday morning before flying back to Iowa to participate in the Get To Know Newton 250 on Sunday.
Elliott's not your average high school student. The Sunoco Rookie has led the series point standings since April 4 when he posted his first series win at Texas Motor Speedway. He then solidified his ascension to stardom the following week with a win at historic Darlington Raceway.
Accompanying Elliott's two wins are four top fives and seven top 10s in nine starts. He leads all series championship contenders in season-to-date Driver Rating (109.1), Average Running Position (6.8), Fastest Laps Run (9.8%) and Laps in the Top 15 (94.9%).
Elliott has a one-point lead over second-place Elliott Sadler and is just three points up on third-place Regan Smith. Though Elliott has a NASCAR K&N East win at Iowa, this weekend will be his NNS debut at the track. Sadler has three Coors Light Poles, one win and six top 10s, in six starts at Iowa. Smith has made two starts at Iowa, posting one top 10, but has an average finish of 9.0.
WDUN will have carry live MRN Radio coverage of this weekend's NASCAR action, beginning with Saturday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series All Start Race from Charlotte Motor Speedway beginning at 8 pm on 102.9 FM and 550 AM. Coverage continues on Sunday of the NASCAR Nationwide Series at Iowa Speedway beginning at 1:30 pm on 102.9 FM and 550 AM.

One Direction's 'Take Me Home' Set to Take No. 1 Spot on the Billboard Charts
Despite a release week crowded with big-name, high-profile albums, One Direction's sophomore set 'Take Me Home' is expected to easily cruise into the No. 1 slot on the Billboard Top 200 chart.
As if anyone doubted the spending power and disposable income of teenage girls! Directioners answered the call, and went crazy, crazy, crazy at music retailers, as the album is looking to debut with at least 500,000 albums sold.
Billboard reports that the figure could be around 575,000 when the final tally is revealed next Wednesday, Nov. 21. The album could notch the third-largest sales week of the year, after Taylor Swift's monstrous 'Red,' which moved 1.2 million copies, and Mumford & Sons' 'Babel,' which shifted 600,000 copies.
It'll be quite a bow for 1D, who will dwarf Christina Aguilera's 'Lotus.'
The band's debut 'Up All Night' topped the Top 200 back in March, moving 176,000 units. It was the first time an album from a U.K. group debuted at No. 1.
So, we'll offer an advance congrats to Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson on a monster debut. Nice job!

Semafo's Mana mine, Burkina Faso | Courtesy of Semafo
"Mining is international in scope," says Jean Vavrek, executive director at CIM. "If we want CIM to stay relevant, we have to be global."
Vavrek, who is one of the people at the helm of the development of CIM's international strategy, says West Africa is one of CIM's high-priority regions. On his first visit, to speak at the 3ème Forum de Dakar sur la RSE, a CSR forum held in March 2011, Vavrek identified a wealth of opportunities for collaboration between local entities and the Canadian mining industry. "It makes a lot of sense for us to be in West Africa because of the existing presence of Canadian mining, a strong Trade Commissioner Service office, and the francophone connection," he explains.
CIM's presence in West Africa brings not only opportunities for our members, by providing a new market for Canadian suppliers and educational institutions, but also helps elevate the industry by communicating best practices to an emerging mining region.
While mining initiatives in West Africa are plentiful, skilled workers are in short supply. "Canadian mining investors tell us they often cannot find enough qualified labour to meet the demands of their own projects," Rojas-Arbulú points out. "Companies want to hire more locally as part of their corporate social responsibility considerations, and local governments want it, but unfortunately, in many rural areas where mining projects take place, skilled labour is scarce."
As a result, mining companies must bring in people from the capital city, neighboring country or another continent – an approach that is not sustainable because it is expensive for Canadian investors, it does not meet the targets of local governments, and it creates malaise with local populations that expect a significant portion of jobs will benefit their communities
"The big challenge today is to find skilled labourers," says Mamoudou Diallo, general manager of Semafo Guinea. "With all of the mining projects being launched, there is a need for local training so when these projects reach maturity there will be local manpower available. If we do not find a way to involve the local population there may be a risk of conflict."
CIM has already begun to play an active role in capacity-building for West Africa's mining sector. In January 2012, the Institute signed a memorandum of understanding with the Centre Africain d'Études Supérieures en Gestion, a regional management school that operates under the umbrella of the Union Économique et Monétaire Ouest Africaine. Among other things, CIM and CESAG will collaborate to develop mining modules and a study curriculum that would better align with what the mining sector requires in terms of skilled labourers.
"This initiative could be very strong for CIM because it is a French speaking part of the world," says Nathan Stubina, vice-president international at CIM and manager of the Barrick Technology Centre at Barrick Gold.

Found this nice gameplay video from YouTube. Lot of spoilers so recommend playing the game first!]]>
I, Cloud has been in development for almost a year now, although last autumn I had a quite long break due to other work.
I decided to start writing about the project to this blog to keep record of all the phases and also to keep people informed of the progress.
Last week I've been working with shadows and lights in the world. I also edited mouse look script to add a bit more drunk feel.
On top of that I've added also some sounds to the world and prevented player going through some walls. Thanks for all the testers
for helping out locating those!
If you haven't yet tried the first alpha release from last december you can download it from here.]]>
