In the past I took every kind of supplement (Ashwaganda, tribulus, Damiana, Muira Puama, Maca, Long Jack, ortica, Licorice, Vitamins, Minerals, saffron, garlic, ginseng, ecc.).Nothingh has worked like taking protein supplements.
I made this discovery because I wanted to lose weight.A lot of diet (Atkins, Dukan) focus on incresing proteins intake.So I bought proteins powder and noticed huge improvements.
I've been working out at various gyms for about 20 years now and never took protein supplements.Maybe I was malnourished.For me is very simple to eat too much fats and carboidrates but it's difficult to eat enough protein from food.So all my life I probably ate too little proteins.
Now I'm having sex 2-3 times in a week but I don't feel tired.After sex I often go to the gym and lift very heavy weights
No muscle pains after work out.
I'm feeling better, stonger and I'm losing weight.There is another way that you can stop porn addiction, chronic masturbation and recover your sexual health without fighting it with willpower. With the right mindset you won't even relapse. You can learn more about the recovery program hereMarch 2, 2014 at 7:11 pm #34964
Which product are you using specifically, alvaro?March 2, 2014 at 9:29 pm #34977
I'm using different kind of protein supplements so I don't think my improvement is due to one Kind of them.
I've been taking whey protein powder, soy protein powder and bars protein .March 3, 2014 at 12:29 am #34990
Aha. Ironic all these years of bodybuilding and going to the gym and you discover this just lately uh. Happens all the time, they say. Congratulations by the way.March 3, 2014 at 4:03 am #35000
Yes Sargonnas.If you listen to many "experts" they say: "if you eat in the right way you don't need supplements".
Unfortunatly I believed them.
Now I now they where wrong.I did a hair mineral analysis test and the result is this: my body was in a abormal catabolic state.
Based on the results of my hair mineral analysis test, they suggested to me to eat more proteins.
Now I feel much better.March 3, 2014 at 11:45 am #35042
My brother would buy whey protein powder and mix it in a drink after a workout. They say protein helps the muscles recover faster after a workout.March 3, 2014 at 2:45 pm #35059
Possibly its an amino acid deficencey.
I to, take an Isolated Whey protein 30-50 grams a day, and my muscle ache have been reduced alot..unless i had severe insomania, or more than 3-5 nocturnal emission then nothing stops my pain yetMarch 3, 2014 at 3:37 pm #35068
Probably getting a dopamine boost which was much needed.
Majority of issues are due to neurotransmitters, methylation, and adrenal related imbalances which where effected by pre-existing stress related issues (mainly emotional from past experience)March 3, 2014 at 6:02 pm #35088
Now that you mention adrenals, I have very low cortisol all day, and my insomnia, delayed crycadian rhytm, and fragmented sleep its worse than ever. I also have Hashimoto´s. What I was wondering its, what do you think of a trial of isocort while I wait for the appointment with the new doc? She is an autism expert that does yasko, im seeing her for leaky gut, methylation… hopefully she can help with adrenals and thyroid as well. Its in a month and I dont want to think in 35 more days of sleeping completely like shit, its deadly. And I have narrowed my insomnia problems to low cortisol AND/OR low thyroid, from autoimmune. Cannot get armour etc for now so what about a trial of isocort?March 3, 2014 at 8:00 pm #35106
Have you low cortisol? So have I (in the morning), I think.
Proteins increase cortisol.Maybe this is why I feel better.
Before discovering the wonderful effects of proteins I ordered Isocort.
I used a few times and worked for me.March 3, 2014 at 11:08 pm #35127
Thanks for the information Alvaro! Its very useful, I was doubting if wether Isocort works or not. My "hypocortisolism" isnt slight or mild, I have it very low in all the 4x 24 saliva test taken and that was a year ago, nowadays I am worse, especially in the sleep aspect, which its very related with adrenals. So I probably need sortisol instead of protein or whatever, especially with malabsorption issues. Plus you need cortisol to absorb thyroid and I am planning to take Armour of Erfa eventually since I have Hashimoto´s.March 4, 2014 at 5:49 am #35159
Sargonnas, I would take a guess and say your adrenals are overworked.
I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I would say follow the general advice of the forum. Eat a balanced diet and rest.
I will make another suggestion…If it is adrenal fatigue or in severe cases adrenal failure it is best to stick to mild to no exercise until your adrenals return back to normal. I think strenuous exercise may just aggravate your symptoms.
Of course, I don't think it needs mentioning, however, abstain from masturbation and porn. See if your situation improves.March 4, 2014 at 6:30 am #35164
I dont look at porn, Thundercat! I have a recovered story for that. Its spiritual and rational. I still masturbate with some frequency but in a healthy fashion I think, twice weekly.
Good advice. I have given up bodybuilding for now, its not appropiate for me, im in the last stage it seems. So rest for me. And no stress.
I will need more than that though…March 4, 2014 at 3:06 pm #35228
Great! That's half the battle.
Before completely abstaining I was down to once a week. Even then I didn't think that was healthy at the time. I eventually quit cold turkey.
When I was a chronic masturbator I also had problems with insomnia. It was more of an occasional thing. I was wondering, have you checked your cortisol levels morning, afternoon, and night? Could they be low in the morning and high at night? It should be the opposite. Cortisol should be high in the morning and low at night.March 4, 2014 at 6:29 pm #35269
I did. They are low in all times lol it actually causes sleep problems. People often will think of high cortisol when you have sleep problems but get this: high cortisol its for the early stages and I have been sick and for some years now. I have been sleeping like shit and stressing myself incredibly with social phobia and yelling to my family and all my problems all this time. Even if you arent a type A personality these problems will stress you. That puts a direct burden on adrenals. So you sleep bad because of low cortisol BUT sleeping bad actually causes you to have even lower cortisol! Hey but I still have some energy to use and I am directing it directly to healing.March 5, 2014 at 12:48 am #35329
I am assuming your adrenals are burnt out. You need to heal the adrenal glands and that might solve your problem or at least relieve some of your symptoms.
I was reading somewhere that the adrenal glands produce 50 different hormones including the sex hormones.March 5, 2014 at 9:27 am #35373
Sargonnas, being an hypothyroid is definitely the culprit for your insomnia.March 5, 2014 at 3:16 pm #35416
I know Shell, that and low cortisol together.
I got a test for thyroid antibodies from my doc!!! If the results are autoimmune my parents will have to admit all my "theories" are true. They are lately using all the tools possible to make themselves believe everything its in my head and I dont have physiological disorders and deficits. I embrace the challenge! I will blast them with my internet resources. Google, I choose you!!!!March 5, 2014 at 3:54 pm #35423
I hate when people say that…you don't know what I am going through, so don't judge me. Hopefully your tests can prove your parents wrong.
At this point…if we believe it to be hypothyroid. how do we fix this problem? What do we do from here?March 5, 2014 at 6:55 pm #35488
Its very complex, but a standard treatment for symptoms would be some kind of appropiate HRT depending of the needs of your specific case (T3, T4, conversion of one to another) AND adrenal support. That wouldnt cure the cause of the hypothyroidism, but its needed while you address the cause which can take years. Then the treatment of the cause of hypothyroidism, if AUTOIMMUNE in origin, would be lowering inflammation trough a paleo-like diet, curing leaky gut which will be present very probably and finally removing the initial trigger of the autoimmunity (for example Aluminum). Once the antibodies are lowered you should start with Iodoral. Eventually the thyroid starts working again.
If your hypothyroidism its not autoimmune in origin you should explore deffiencies such as selenium, zinc, Iodine etc and other possible causes.
One of the best places for info in adrenal and thyroid treatment its stopthethyroidmadness.com. There and in other places they state that urine thyroid and saliva cortisol are much better than blood, and defficiencies will only show up in blood once the case its very severe. So that explains the discrepancy of my test results.
Of course eventually you discover the magnitude of the problem, because while you have adrenal fatigue and/or hypothyroidism, the tests that the big majority of doctors will make on you will say exactly the opposite. Its a nightmare scenario. Welcome to the Matrix.March 6, 2014 at 12:21 am #35520
Among sel, zinc, and Iodine
+ Vit D and Iron (both are low in hypo)
Notice sarg, from my own experience, targeting the thryoid with T3 & T4 is miserable especially if your adrenal is weak…they will burn your adrenal with time, i edited my approach and supplemented the thyroid +adrenal and physical i feel more better regardless of the levels of my blood test.
I would suggest a good support for your weak adrenal for 1-4 months, to psh your cortisol and DHEA-s and progesterone levels up
then introduce the thyroid meds with low dose and get it high, where high doses will be more effective having more cellular cortisol that will absorb your THYROID hormonaol supplementation.March 6, 2014 at 6:13 am #35542
Yeah good info Shell, I have read that lately in a very good blog in spanish about these subjects. Definetely I know I need strong adrenal support.

Today's robot song comes from Robin Gibb. Born on the Isle of Man, Robin and his brothers (Barry and Maurice) put their musical roots down in Manchester, Lancashire as part of a skiffle group called The Rattlesnakes when Robin was around six years of age. After emigrating to Australia in 1958, The BeeGees emerged and had their first TV appearance in 1960 when Robin was a mere eleven years old... and the rest, as they say, is history.
Taken from Robin Gibb's third solo LP titled 'Secret Agent' is Robot... it's another one of those "I'm not a robot" songs and from its initial synthesised string stabs, it reeks of the nineteen eighties. It's got a ro..ro..ro..ro..robot voice, electronic drums, funky bass, jangly guitars, over produced vocals, more synthesised string stabs and everything else that I hate about mainstream '80s pop... but this song swings in all the right directions and melds the ingredients into something rather palatable.

Anything's Better Than These C**ts
Note: This review is from 2014
One of the side-effects of the forthcoming vote on Scottish Independence is a small but discernible groundswell in politically charged comedy north of the border. Anyone who reckons apathy still reigns here ought to have heard the angry reaction to Standard Life's threat to move their business from Edinburgh if the UK splits. Insight is what's required, but passion undoubtedly goes a long way right now.
The title of this double bill of stand-up from Viv Gee and John Scott offers a pretty clear indication of their voting intentions. Equally accurate however is that of the regular night Scott runs in Newcastle, Sod The Tories, as this was less pro-Yes agitprop as sustained 'How No?' bashing of David Cameron and his party.
Both comics have English spouses and though Gee shares the oft-repeated truism that Newcastle would break away with Scotland if only it could, she's waggishly playful with her partisanship, suggesting most Scots' issues are with Westminster, the Home Counties and um, the oil rich north of Scotland. She might be accused of going for the killer line over grappling with the intricacies of currency transition. But there's delicious payback in her swipe at London businesses refusing to accept Scottish banknotes.
The prevailing metaphor for independence is divorce. But Gee refines that to one of an abusive relationship, with Scotland hesitant but ultimately free and rediscovering itself after England's alternate menaces, cuddles and cajoles. A nicely executed routine, the abstract portrayal of the battered wife – a potent symbol in a city where domestic abuse rates famously spike during high-profile football games – might yet benefit from more concrete examples in the initial setup, naming and shaming specific politicians before caricaturing England as a composite, controlling mass.
She isn't above playing to the crowd, with occasional in-jokes about Scottish single Fish Supper and the like. And it's unfortunate that her jibes at Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon are uncertain and seem tacked on, not least as she has fun with the easy target of Donald Trump, whose association with the SNP leader she might make considerably more of. Balance isn't necessarily required for cutting political comedy but her criticisms of Cameron would undoubtedly gain from giving it more than lip service.
Equally though, she knows what riles her audience. Switching her focus to the UK government's policies in general, she overstretches some sexual 'bedroom tax' analogies but is wonderfully pithy with the aforementioned admonishment of Standard Life. Credit too for a sustained, nursery rhyming attack on President Obama that challenges some liberal orthodoxies, even if it's a tad heavy-handed. And few will criticise her for kicking Nick Griffin when he's down.
Though clearly a work-in-progress, with an ending that doesn't quite pull together independence and Glasgow's upcoming hosting of the Commonwealth Games satisfactorily, Gee's convictions are only going to grow more topical and pointed. She has some solid routines already while others, like her mother's idiosyncratic concerns about the September 18 vote, a landmark event reduced to blinkered mundanities, are surely worth developing further.
Scott is similarly upfront about his position on Scotland's future – 'I've been pro-independence for the last 20 years', arguing 'that doesn't make me a nationalist but a democrat'. He has fewer ideas as to how the country might change. But considerably more specific indictments of the Tories and their Liberal Democrat coalition partners, tracing everything back to Margaret Thatcher.
Honing this material over two decades, he's predictably but punchily effective. Sharp, downright nasty gags about the Iron Lady's prolonged demise and the dysfunction of David Cameron and Nick Clegg's relationship are delivered with unmistakable venom.
More interesting if less developed, are his personal accounts of coaching Lembit Opik MP for his stand-up debut and inadvertently finding himself gigging for the BNP in Wigan. Along with an hilarious account of holidaying in Egypt during the Arab Spring and performing a Jesus-Tommy Cooper composite character in the Outer Hebrides, it's these tales that set Scott apart from other passionate, left-leaning comics, even if it's the Tory-hammering that gives his half hour coherence.
Familiar faux-nostalgia for Irish terrorists over Muslim extremists doesn't do him much credit. And on conservative religion, he's less assured. His story of a gay friend standing up to Christian homophobes, while applaudable in sentiment, isn't any wittier for being waspish and in the right.
Like Gee, he also employs re-worked nursery rhymes. But his salient points about simplistic tabloid scare stories are undermined by an apparent desire to cram in every example he can think of. Stripping back this tangential chaff would leave him with a solid central theme and some engaging stories to hang off it.

I'm new to Lipo and reading everything I can. Just curious, what are the LVD setpoints of the XL-5? I take it they are not adjustable? Also wondering how the XL-5 knows if you have 2S or 3S in order to use to correct LV setpoint?
No the setting aren't adjustable. I'm not sure what the exact low voltage cutoff is. But the standard xl5 will not work with a 3s battery unless it's one of the old ones which I don't believe have any low voltage cutoff at all.

Volker Hinz helped shape Stern's visual narrative for 40 years, but it's his portraits of international photographers including Richard Avedon, Ansel Adams, Mary Ellen Mark, among others – now available in a limited-edition book titled In Love With Photography – that best define him as one of the most gifted photographers to have come from Germany.
When Vogue 100: A Century of Style opened at London's National Portrait Gallery last month, featuring Josh Olins' portraits of Kate Middleton for June's edition of British Vogue, The Guardian's art columnist, Jonathan Jones, questioned whether they should be classed as works of art. "A Vogue cover shot is not a serious portrait," he wrote on 2 May. "Nice face, nice clothes… but is a glossy picture of Kate Middleton in any way a serious work of art?"
Can the same ever be asked of, for example, Alberto Korda's images of Che Guevarra? Among the most iconic portraits of a revolutionary ever taken, are they not portraits worthy of a gallery hook?
How about the work of Volker Hinz, a World Press Photo award-winning photographer who, for 40 years, helped shape the visual language of Stern magazine?
His portraits have been shown in 58 exhibitions over the course of five decades; indeed, many are held in private collections and museums around the world. Are Hinz's images of Muhammed Ali not serious portraits? What about his portraits of Andy Warhol?
"I have not seen the photos of Kate Middleton at the National Portrait Gallery, so I cannot comment on them," explains Hinz. "But the discussion about what is art, and what is not, cannot be decided based on whether the subject is famous or not, or if the portrait is featured on the cover of a fashion magazine. This is nonsense," he says. "An image is a piece of art if it tells the viewers something about the person he is picturing. Anyway, time will tell."
Over the years, while carving a name for himself as one of the most talented 'people' photographers of modern times, Hinz also turned his lens on fellow photographers – chroniclers who, like him, captured some of the most compelling images of the age.
He has photographed everyone from a topless Vera Isler in Zurich, baring for his lens the beautifully tattooed casualties of her double mastectomy, to Annie Leibowitz in New York, sat on the floor looking at proofs, to Sylvia Plachy and Martin Parr at a festival in Hamburg.
He captured fellow image-makers in quiet moments, at work in their studios, and casually in the street. He often captured "stolen moments" – snapping fellow image-makers unawares – and has even turned the lens on himself.
In Love With Photography, Hinz's latest book, gathers together almost five decades of portraits, presented together for the first time in a book.
"It's a unique collection of the most renowned photographers of the second half of the 20th century and early 21st century," according to the book's publisher, Lammerhuber, describing it as "a summit meeting of individuals who sustain humanity's memory with their images".
Hinz was born in Blankenese in western Hamburg, a picturesque community near the Elbe river. He and his family lived in a flat with a view overlooking the river. "I used to watch big ships from all over the world sail by."
As a child, Volker and his sister would spend the day playing at the beach, or swimming in the river. "From time to time I caught little fishes," he recalls. "It was an idyllic childhood."
Art played an important part in his upbringing. "My grandfather was an artist. A lot of his paintings were hanging in our living room and in the homes of my extended family. My grandmother studied art and also loved to paint and draw.
"Even my mother, in later years, started to paint and exhibit at local venues. But photography as art was not familiar to me as a child – certainly not before I first saw the magazine Twen. It was an exciting, popular monthly magazine that featured photography in double pages for the first time in Germany."
However, it was the 1966 film Blow-Up, by Michaelangelo Antonioni, that was perhaps the biggest influence in Hinz wanting to become a photographer, he says. "It gamourised fashion photography, and this was fascinating for a young guy like me."
Under conscription, Hinz was drafted into the army, where he served for 18 months. "I met a comrade who was a photographer – he explained to me the function of a camera. It was during that time that I bought my first camera and took my first pictures of my comrades. This was in 1968, in the city of Rendsburg."
On his release from the army, and with no formal training in photography, he started going to political conventions, taking pictures of well-known speakers. "I knew that pictures like these are timeless and would sell well to newspapers and magazines. During one of these conventions, I met Sven Simon, the son of the famous publisher Axel Springer, who had a picture agency in Munich. He helped me sell my pictures to newspapers.
Later he offered me a job as a political photographer in Bonn. Two years later, the art director of Stern, Rolf Gillhausen, noticed my work and asked me to join as a staff photographer. After four years at Stern, I quit and went to the US. Four months later, I was reassigned to Stern to cover North and South America for eight years until 1986." Hinz took his last photo for Stern in 2012.
The idea for In Love With Photography came about during Photokina 2014 in Cologne. "The publisher, Lois Lammerhuber, came to me and asked if I would be interested in publishing a book with him. With a handshake we agreed on a venture – it was like an old-fashioned Hollywood deal. But at that point we had no idea what the subject would be.
Lois flew to my home in Hamburg from Vienna, and we both dived into my archive: 40 years of photography, 180 square meters of prints, slides and negatives. We looked through some prints and found a picture of Richard Avedon's shoetrees, taken at the Paris workshop of the famous shoemaker, John Lobb. Lois asked me if I had more pictures of photographers and my answer was yes," says Hinz.
"After that meeting, I went through my entire archive for half a year, looking for the subject of photography as well as photographers. A lab in Hamburg printed about 1000 30x40cm Baryt prints in black and white.
Lois came to see me again in Hamburg, looked through the pictures, and took 480 prints with him to Vienna. Then I flew to Vienna and, together with the graphic designer, Lois and I put together a final selection for the book."
For another three days, Hinz and Lois Lammerhuber went to a printing press near Augsburg to oversee the printing of the book. "For two days I signed 1000 copies – signed and numbered," says Hinz. "It was a labour of love for all the participants."
Over nearly half a century, Hinz gathered what is clearly a treasure beyond his workday assignments – a treasure of shots of international photographers whose own art impressed him. But it's perhaps this description of Hinz that sticks in my mind.
In the forward to In Love With Photography, GEO editor-in-chief Peter-Matthias Gaede writes: "Volker made a portrait of Lisette Model in an empty room, in the year she died, 1983. She did not want to hold on to her stick, she put it away.
The stick fell down. Volker stood it up again before pressing the shutter button, the stick now several metres away from the erect, great old lady, but still in the frame. A classic Hinz mix of respect for an icon and the desire to let the photograph give a disrespectful answer."
If, as Hinz says, "an image is a piece of art if it tells the viewers something about the person he is picturing", then it's fair to say his images say as much about him as an image-maker as they do about his subjects.
In Love With Photography by Volker Hinz, foreword by GEO editor-in-chief Peter-Matthias Gaede, is published by Edition Lammerhuber.
It is available in limited-edition, signed and numbered copies here.

I assume this is a California piece by the color and the simple form. The color in the first and 3rd photos is accurate, but the middle photo is off. I was told this was Bauer, but it is unmarked and i think it might be Garden City. Found at the flea market today.

PETER JACKSON today confessed he's "desperate for a win" to start lifting the gloom around Town's crumbling campaign.
Jackson's men have won only once in three months at the Galpharm (against Carlisle) and have slumped to 17th in League I on the back of seven matches without a win.
He has already labelled Saturday's visit of Northampton a "must-win game" - not only to help stave off growing relegation fears but to give the Town faithful some overdue cheer.
Jackson today reported striker Pawel Abbott has stepped up his training and fellow frontman John McAliskey is back with the senior squad after a week of illness.
"Certain sections of our crowd are getting impatient and that's why Saturday is such a massive game for us as a squad and a club," said Jackson today.
"We are desperate for a win for our own fans here because one win in three months speaks for itself.
"If our home form had been half decent then we would be looking at the top six, so it would obviously mean a lot to put three points on the board against Northampton."
Jackson is keen to bring in a couple of fresh faces during the January transfer window but wants to be nearer the play-off placings than relegation zone come New Year.
"At the moment we need hard graft, a little bit of good luck and more belief than we are showing," added the manager.
"The players know my feelings about the defeat at Leyton Orient, but it's gone now. The dividing line between success and failure is very small and you can't legislate for a miss like Mark Hudson's or Boothy's header being cleared off the line.
"I was pleased with how we kept going with 10 men and I'll be involving all the squad this week as we look to improve and, most importantly, get the right result for our fans."
At least two changes are forced because of suspensions to Martin McIntosh and Chris Brandon, but it's hoped Jon Worthington will be fit (groin).
Tickets (3,023) are now on sale to season-ticket holders and fan groups for the New Year trip to Doncaster. They go on general sale on December 18 priced £18 adults, £12 Under 16s, students and OAPs. £5 Under 11s.


text: Founders leave IASG board, seek a buy back By SSN Staff Updated Thu June 22, 2006 ALBANY, N.Y.--Founders of Integrated Alarm Services Group Tim McGinn and Tom Few will attempt to purchase the publicly traded company after stepping down from the board of directors June 15. The shareholder group collectively owns 10.49 percent of IASG and filed a joint filing and solicitations agreement to solicit proxies for the approval of its proposals to capitalize shareholder value through an acquisition, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last week. Former chairman and chief executive officer McGinn and former chief operating officer Few were removed from their positions by the company's board this spring. Joe Reinhart, investor relations for IASG, said the announcement would not affect the company's current restructuring strategy. "If it turns out these parties are in a position to make some form of bid or offer for the company, the company would take whatever they have to say very seriously and consider it as part of its evaluation," Reinhart said. That same day, the holding company for Criticom International elected Jason Mudrick, a portfolio manager at hedge fund company Contrarian Capital Management, to sit on the board of directors. In November, Contrarian, owning 13 percent of the company, addressed IASG in a letter from Mudrick about the company's financial struggle and advised that the company sell. The plea from the company's largest shareholder provoked IASG to examine its business strategy by hiring an independent investment bank, Allen & Company. Jack Mallon, managing director of investment bank Mallon Associates, said it's another chapter in the battle between the founding shareholders and investor Contrarian. "Obviously there is an ongoing dispute between the two factions to control the company. Contrarian won, in a sense." Mallon added, the question really is "whether Contrarian forced the resignation of the board in a final step in disassociating them from the management of the company, or whether McGinn and Few decided it would be in their best interest to not be members of the board while they were attempting to buy back the company." However, Reinhart said the addition of Mudrick to the board has no affect on the company's plans to sell. "Certainly, the board of directors, including our newest director, are interested in increasing shareholder value," Reinhart said. Mallon said, whether part of the board or not, the influence of the investor company was very apparent. "The largest shareholder has been able to effectuate these changes ... not from the vantage point of a board member but as a dominant shareholder. So his being on the board makes it more visible, but not necessarily more influential." Preceding these events, last week the board of directors received the Allen & Company report reviewing strategic options for the company. The report contains analysis and presents options for the company's next move. It will be reviewed by the committee, but will not be released to the public, according to a written statement.

WASHINGTON — Editor's note: The video above was published September 23.
The United States is considering sending several thousand more troops to the Middle East to help counter aggression by Iran, a Pentagon official told senators on Thursday during a testimony, news outlets reported.
There have been reports of growing violence in Iran, as well as its government's interference in other countries around the region, including Iraq and Syria. When asked about the Iranian threat, the Pentagon's top policy adviser told senators that Defense Secretary Mark Esper intends to make changes to the number of troops in the Mideast.
However, John Rood, the undersecretary of defense for policy, also said in his testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee that Esper has "not made any decision."
Other officials say that between 5,000 and 7,000 troops could be sent to the region, but no final moves have been made, according to Fox News, CNN and others.
In response to a Wall Street Journal report before the hearing held Thursday, Defense Department Press Secretary Alyssa Farah tweeted that Esper told Armed Services Committee Chairman Sen. James Inhofe that the U.S. is not considering sending 14,000 additional troops to the Middle East.

WESLACO — By 10 a.m. Saturday, Otila Medrano's hands were already covered with layers of batter, and it was just the beginning of a long day of cooking.
Round Up BBQ of La Feria was the sole vendor of blooming onions at the 30th annual Texas Onion Fest here, but Medrano, one of the three cooks in the booth, said that she was not intimidated by the job.
" The busier I am, the less tired I am; but I don't know why," said Medrano, who has been making blooming onions at the festival for the past 12 years. "I love to do this. This is my stuff right here so do not get me out of this. What it takes is hard work and perfect round onions."
After the Texas 1015 Onion was chopped and dipped in an egg and milk bath, Medrano was responsible for coating it with the batter, which she said is the ingredient that gets people to come back.
" What it is is the secret recipe, which is right here," she said, showing her batter-covered hands and apron. "We have the eggs and milk, but the secret is the batter."
This year, the booth was prepared with 1,800 Texas onions.
Accompanied by mariachi music from the Weslaco East High School mariachi ensemble, attendees were not limited to fried onions for lunch. Vendors sold other fair foods such as elote, turkey legs, and popcorn, but while the student musicians played on the Hermes Music stage, dozens of blooming onions were in sight, being passed over shoulders and down the aisles within the crowd.
Later in the day, an onion-eating contest took place and the highly anticipated performance by Siempre Selena was scheduled for 9 p.m.
Entertainment aside, the festival celebrates the development of the sweet Texas onion here by Leonard Pike, an agriculture research scientist. He called it the Texas 1015 Onion, since he proposed that October 15 was the ideal planting date for the crop.
Pike's discovery in the 1980s of a sweet onion that did not have the pungent taste of traditional onions has been a marvel of the agriculture industry and got the attention of consumers.
According to Aggie Horticulture, the onion industry has an overall contribution of $350 million per year to the Texas economy, bringing in between $70 and $100 million per year. To honor the vegetable's contribution to the state, the Sweet Texas Onion was declared Texas' state vegetable in 1997.
Besides the remarkable anniversary, this year's festival was special because it is the first event without the presence of onion's creator. On Jan. 12, Pike died in Georgia due to complications from Alzheimer's disease. He was 78 years old.
Pike was scheduled to speak at the festival about his journey inventing the beloved crop, but instead, agricultural scientist Bhimu Patil spoke about the legacy Pike left behind.
Pike was Patil's professor when he was pursuing a doctorate in horticulture at Texas A&M University, and after graduating, they continued to work together 30 years after developing more research on the health compounds of vegetables. Patil said that he is grateful for the guidance that Pike gave him, and that he will continue his research for him. He flew in Friday night from College Station for the presentation.
" He was not only a great professor, but a great human," said Patil, who took on the position of director of the vegetable and fruit improvement center at the Texas A&M University after Pike. "It is hard to find that kind of person. He has a great heart, it was always to help farmers."
Patil said that Pike's intentions of serving farmers personally touched him because in his home in India, his family farmed limes, cotton and pomegranate.
In his lecture in the Frost Culinary Center, which took place after a cooking demonstration by Chris Cuellar with Uncle Chops Smokehouse Burgers, Patil emphasized the importance of vegetables in our diet. After talking about the journey of Pike's discovery, Patil taught about the health benefits of onions.
He mentioned that onions reduce heart disease, heart clots and cancer, specifically colon cancer. However, he said the difficult part is getting people to eat more onions.
" It is a conundrum," said Patil, who is also a professor for university's department of horticultural science. "The harder and more pungent the onion, the better, the more good compounds it has. But, those are the ones people do not like to eat. So, what Dr. Pike's goal was, and is now ours, is to reduce the pungency and get people to eat more of them."
An average American eats 22 pounds of onions per year, and Patil said that if we can get that number to 35 pounds, colon cancer would reduce by almost 80 percent.
Guests were seen wearing festival shirts of past years, stopping to play mini golf at the Top Golf booth, or knocking down large bowling pins with the famed softball-sized Sweet Texas Onion.
Daisy Ramirez, who was Miss Texas Onion Fest two years ago and was attending this year as Miss Weslaco 2019, said that she is proud of her city for continuing to share the story of Pike and commemorating the onion with the festival.
" A lot of people come down from places other than Weslaco to gather to celebrate the 1015," said Ramirez, 17. "Weslaco is really growing, and this is something unique that we have. Weslaco is open with big arms here."

That did not completely assuage conservatives. Representative Mark Meadows, Republican of North Carolina and the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, contradicted the White House line and declared that the agreement was "a bad deal for the president."
"Only in Washington, D.C., can we start out with needing $25 billion for border security measures and expect applause at 1.37," he said Tuesday on Fox News. "I mean, only in D.C. is that a winning deal."
Mr. Meadows and his allies were among those targeted by the White House in hopes of avoiding a more threatening conservative revolt. A meeting with members of his Freedom Caucus in the Oval Office was partly aimed at urging them to hold their fire in television interviews when talking about the bill, according to a person briefed on the effort.
And indeed, despite his complaints about the bill, Mr. Meadows made a point on Wednesday of not blaming Mr. Trump. "I think he handled it as well as anybody could handle it, given a dysfunctional Congress," Mr. Meadows told reporters.
Among those involved in the outreach, according to the person briefed on the discussions, was Bill Shine, a White House deputy chief of staff and former Fox executive who in the West Wing is seen as adept at getting some hosts at Fox to respond to White House concerns.
Since coming to office, Mr. Trump has missed several opportunities to make more progress on the wall. Instead of Mexico directly paying for a $25 billion, 1,000-mile concrete barrier, as the president once said would happen, he has been seeking partial installments from Congress, arguing that his new trade agreement with Mexico will ultimately pay off enough to offset the cost. The partial installments have generally gone to replacing or repairing existing barriers, not to building the new concrete or steel walls Mr. Trump wants.
At one point last year, the president and Democrats were close to a deal in which he would get all $25 billion for the wall in exchange for protections for 1.8 million young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children. But Mr. Trump ultimately turned away because he also wanted cuts to legal immigration that Democrats would not accept.

Melinda Gates: Contraceptives Are 'One of the Greatest Antipoverty Innovations' in the World
"Empowered women and girls transform societies—and when women have the tools to plan and space their pregnancies, the benefits keep multiplying," she says
It comes as no surprise that Melinda Gates —who has helped millions of people around the world — loves America for many reasons.
"We're a nation of optimists," she tells PEOPLE in this week's special 100 Reasons to Love America double issue. "We're always striving to invent a better future."
Part of that future, according to Gates, is making sure that women and underrepresented minorities are equally empowered to contribute to the world of technology.
"The data consistently shows that diverse teams are more successful and innovative, so this is something that will absolutely benefit everyone," she says, and has devoted her time to making a difference through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. One innovation they foster is contraceptive care.
"Everything we do at the foundation is grounded in our belief that all lives have equal value," she says. "So, we're always trying to find opportunities where a relatively small investment can have an outsized impact on people's lives. That's why we invest in contraceptives around the world."
"Empowered women and girls transform societies—and when women have the tools to plan and space their pregnancies, the benefits keep multiplying. Women and their babies are healthier, children grow up better educated, and over time, entire economies become more prosperous," she says. "Multiply that across millions of families and you start to understand why contraceptives are one of the greatest antipoverty innovations the world has ever seen."
The women she meets are the ones who inspire and motivate her every day to continue to do great work through the foundation.
"I spend a lot of time traveling to developing countries and sitting down with women to hear about their lives, their dreams for themselves and their families, and the barriers that are standing in their way," she says. "Our foundation is a data-driven organization, but these women remind me that there are stories behind every statistic—and I've carried a lot of these stories home in my heart."

text: The perceived problem of immigration and debates about how to solve it have taken center stage in national discourse leading up to the 2016 presidential election. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many candidates made the supposedly urgent "problem of immigration"-- and the intolerable presence of dangerous "illegal aliens"-- central subjects of their campaigns. In "Transformation en la Frontera: Gloría Anzaldúa and the 'Problem' of Immigration," I show how Anzaldúa's texts serve as a rich theoretical resource for thinking through—and transforming—the practices of bordering that construct the "problem" of immigration in the U.S./Mexico borderlands. I explore the significant role that themes of immigration and alienness play in Gloría Anzaldúa's throughout her corpus, from Borderlands/La Frontera to her recently-published manuscript Light in the Dark/ Luz en Lo Oscuro. In doing so, I shed light on how, in Anzaldúa's account, immigration has emerged in the U.S./Mexico borderlands as a problem through violent practices of political, economic, gender, sexual, and racial bordering. By analyzing her work on bordering and the racialization of brown bodies, I suggest that, instead of asking what can and should be done about illegality or the "problem" presented by migration, Anzaldúa urges us to ask where and through what means these "problems" are constructed and how they might be transformed. Ultimately, by drawing on Anzaldúa's analysis of how bordering constitutes particular subjects as illegal, I explore what can be done to transform the functions of bordering that continue to construct both illegality and the "problem" of immigration.

A Guide to How Entrepreneurs and Businesses are Responding to COVID-19
COVID-19's Impact on Business Unlike other viruses, such as the seasonal flu or common cold, the coronavirus, or COVID-19, is considered a "novel," or new, virus because humans have had little exposure to it. Hence, we don't have readily available treatments, like a vaccine, to prevent people from getting sick from COVID-19. As a result, the first line of defense against the disease is called "social distancing." This means people are being encouraged not to be around other people unless it is necessary.
In many cities and states, officials require so-called "non-essential" businesses to either reduce their operations or close completely to promote social distancing. While these businesses are referred to as non-essential, it doesn't mean that they aren't important. But it does mean that their closure will help limit the spread of COVID-19.
Businesses affected include restaurants, which in many cases must close their dining areas, even though they can still prepare food for delivery or take out. Others that must close completely include hair salons, clothing stores, and various retail establishments that don't offer what are considered "essential" products or services, such as food or medicine.
Due to these restrictions and closures, businesses large and small have had to release many of their employees. This means people who worked for these businesses lost their jobs either temporarily, through a furlough, or permanently, through a layoff. Many of these people are eligible for unemployment benefits, which means that they will receive some amount of money from the government to help pay basic expenses like rent, house payments, and food. The hope is that non-essential business closures will only last a few months and that people will be able to go back to work in the not-too-distant future.

Gloria Vanderbilt was many things to many people: an artist, an author, an actress, mother, a wife ― and of course, a fashion icon.
The heiress died at age 95 on Monday after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of stomach cancer earlier this month. Her son, Anderson Cooper, delivered her obituary on CNN.
Vanderbilt's contribution to the fashion world began by way of modeling, but her largest impact was arguably made with denim. After winning the Neiman Marcus Fashion Award for her designs in 1969, manufacturer Mohan Murjani called on Vanderbilt to design jeans marketed toward women in the 1970s. That collaboration soon became a more than $100 million business.
Naturally, having an eye for style for other people meant having one for herself ― and her family, too. As a result, there's a wealth of photos of Vanderbilt with her sister, her sons and her husbands that are as much a gift to fashion as her clothing line.
In celebration of her life, behold just some of her most iconic fashion moments from photoshoots, red carpet events and ― our favorite ― her New York City home.

The weather forecast for Jasper, Arkansas next week predicts daily high temperature In the upper 70s (F) with dewpoint in the 50s. It looks like a rare break from summer heat, so I will be heading that way to ride on Monday through Thursday. On Friday, the temperature gets up in the 80s so I'll be outa there. I'm on the fence about which bike to take, but leaning toward the NC700X.
If anyone else will be in the neighborhood, let me know.

The letter below was sent to Fred M'membe on the 15th June 2012 following the publication of an article titled ' The opposition and their mercenary Amsterdam.' Amsterdam wrote to M'membe asking him to publish the letter in the Post, but the letter was never published.
Mr. Fred M'membe
Managing Director and Editor
Post Newspapers Ltd
Republic of Zambia
June 15, 2012
Dear Mr. M'membe,
I am writing to you today to highlight the deepening level of distrust in The Post Newspaper among Zambian citizens and the international community following the repeated of publication false news stories and propaganda aimed at attacking critics of the government. Such practices by a large news organization describing itself as "independent" are not only deplorable but also very damaging to Zambian democracy, as citizens are deprived of reliable information and an important counterbalance to the abuse of state power.
From the outset, I must state that I am responding in my personal capacity as an international lawyer and rule of law advocate, not on behalf of any client. I am a strong believer in freedom of the press and have fought on behalf of journalists and editors who faced threats just for doing their job. However, "freedom of the press" is not a license to publish false information and slander.
I am also writing to you, Mr. M'membe, because in the past you have professed a willingness to offer the right to reply to any persons that might have been named in any edition of the Post Newspaper. I hope you will take the opportunity to honor that pledge.
It is highly irregular and alarming to see a newspaper editorial solely dedicated to personal attacks against an individual, especially one that is not a public figure or politician.
However, on June 8th, the Post published a libelous editorial titled "The opposition and their mercenary Amsterdam," which goes beyond the expression of opinions to outright falsehoods.
My reply to your editorial is as follows:
In the first place I am not surprised that you have decided to call me a "mercenary" when the truth is the opposite.
We have seen that whenever one dares to come forward with criticism of the Patriotic Front government – be it Hakainde Hichilema, Nevers Mumba, Rupiah Banda or anyone else – it is The Post that is called forward to fire shots from the sniper's nest.
It is not only normal, but healthy and essential in a democracy for citizens to feel free to express a differing opinion from the government without fear of being the subject of a smear attack in the newspaper, and your editorial practices have contributed to a growing climate of fear of persecution in Zambia.
The only reason you call me a "mercenary" is because I have decided to defend the rights of people who refused to be part of your scheme to defraud the Zambian taxpayer of your unpaid debts, while destroying judicial independence in the process.
The article also denounces me because I am compensated for my work like every lawyer (which would be to say that the Post should be given away for free as well as all its ads placed for free).
I would ask you, Mr. M'membe, to ask any one of my 15 million clients among Thailand's Red Shirts, one of the largest pro-democracy social movements in the world, most of whom live below the poverty line, if they are worried about my ethics.
I would ask you to telephone Dr. Chee Soon Juan, the Singaporean opposition leader who was recently celebrated at the Oslo Freedom Forum, to ask if I only take cases that I believe in.
As you may know, I was recently denied entry to visit my pro-bono client by the Singaporean authorities, which prompted censure by global human rights advocates Amnesty International. Now I hear that the Zambian government also seeks to prevent my entry to the country despite having done nothing more than defend my client.
Doesn't that fact alone raise questions to you that something is not right?
I am proud to represent my clients, former President Rupiah Banda and his son Henry Banda, as they are fine upstanding citizens who have done nothing wrong.
However, the absence of any formal accusation, charge, and much less trial or verdict against them has not stopped The Post from its embarrassing series of smears to attack their reputations at the request of superiors in the Patriotic Front.
I can appreciate that throughout your long career in journalism, you have on occasion exercised courage to publish important articles so that citizens would be informed of government misdeeds.
But those days seem long past.
Despite your newspaper's motto of "The Paper that Digs Deeper" and your self-proclamation as a "defender of the rights of humanity and the people's happiness in the world," you have failed to do so in all matters apart from your matters pertaining to the Patriotic Front (PF) government of President Michael Sata.
Most citizens, businesses, and diplomats have already accepted the fact that the Post Newspaper is no longer independent but rather a mouthpiece of the state (after all, some dozen Post employees were hired by the Sata government, while many others eagerly await postings).
Systematically, the Post Newspaper now operates like a weapon in the hands of a mercenary whose only purpose is to take down anyone who threatens its selfish interests at the expense of public good.
The failures of The Post to report of issues of genuine public interest are numerous.
Where was The Post "digging" when the PF Secretary General Wynter Kabimba was announcing that the PF administration was setting up a company on which he is a director to supply petroleum to the Zambian people? Did you deliberately decide to dig in the wrong place to please your masters.
Where was The Post "digging" when the court made a decision ordering you and Director of Public Prosecutions Mr. Mutembo Nchito to repay K14 billion of taxpayer's money to the Development Bank of Zambia?
The public good requires that you investigate, report, and analyse the workings of this government controlled bank, or at the very least, disclose the newspaper's fundamental conflict of interest when reporting on such issues. You have not done so for obvious reasons.
Where was The Post "digging" when the Minister of Finance Mr. Alexander Chikwanda was given a contract to renovate State House without following tender procedures?
Where was The Post "digging" when the PF government secretly hired you to print the draft Constitution of Zambia regardless of having Government Printers?
Where was The Post "digging" when the PF government was appointing relatives and party cadres to Senior Diplomatic and Civil Service positions that require highly qualified and professional personnel to benefit the country.
Where was The Post "digging" when President Michael Sata donated more fuel to Malawi than was necessarily required, resulting in a fuel shortage in Zambia?
Allow me to refer to your editorial of Sunday 02 Jan. 2011 titled "HE WHO BETRAYS THE POOR BETRAYS CHRIST" the paragraph reads;
"Some truths are hidden in the tangled skein woven in the course of millennia of obscurantism. And the betrayal of the poor, of the weak, of the suffering majority of our country by some clergymen Bishop Mambo is talking about reminds us of how Christ himself was betrayed by his own disciple, his own apostle – Judas Iscariot.
There are many Judases today in all walks of life. We have Judases in the church and in our politics. But Judas might have been the first to betray Christ but he is certainly not the last. We say this because, and as Fidel Castro once aptly put it, "he who betrays the poor betrays Christ".
Would I be right to say refusing to pay back 14 billion kwacha poor taxpayer's money is equal to "he who betrays the poor betrays Christ"? Would I also be right to say that there are "some hidden truths in the tangled skein woven in the course" of this transaction? What about other debts held by the Post Newspaper companies?
Rumors are that back taxes are piling up.
Before you wrap yourself in the flag I would like to remind you that I am limited to letter writing as I am now banned from Zambia. In respect to that ban and the defamation proceedings lodged against me I should be looking to the independent press.
Will the Post newspaper challenge the government? Will it ask questions the government would avoid being asked?
I also refer to a paragraph in your editorial of Sat 16 July 2011 where you boast about The Post newspaper that "We are the only stakeholders or players in the media who have no interests other than the professional tenets of our craft. We don't have a particular stake in anything. So it may be professional arrogance, but we do believe that our interests in editorial autonomy and independence are also the nation's interests".
Can this be true today?
Citizens everywhere must be wary of those who hold themselves out as watchdogs of the public trust only to deceive that trust.
Yours sincerely,
Robert. R Amsterdam
Amsterdam & Partners LLP

"So why are you taking this blood and that swab again?" The patient was holding the cotton wool ball firmly onto the site the needle had gone into his arm. "I mean, I only came into see you about this cough."
"We're testing to see how far some genetic engineering that was embedded in a number of the original colonists might have penetrated the general population," the doctor explained as he spread the sticky strip over the cotton ball to free up his patient's hand. "It was intended to give the colony some advantages but there's evidence the Second Dynasty might have eradicated the carriers."
"What happens to anyone you find who's got this stuff?" The patient was beginning to look worried. "Did the Second Dynasty have a reason for getting rid of it?"
"Apparently they thought the carriers threatened their authority," the doctor finished labelling the samples. "It's been suggested that they were too self-centred to realise that the genetics were important. If you're found to be a carrier, well how do you feel about having lots more children?"
"My wife'd kill me," then the patient laughed. "Are they expecting to find anyone?"
"Professor, you're the expert on the Second Dynasty's purges of the god lines." The Health Minister poured tea for the Head of the Health Secretariat and their guest, the professor. "Do you think anyone could have evaded them?"
"If the Dynasty's own records can be believed," Professor Jerrec sipped his tea and smiled in appreciation, "They were very thorough about it. To be a member of one of the target bloodlines and survive you would have to not have had the idiosyncratic colouring of the bloodline for start. That way no-one could tell just by looking at you. Then there would need to have been no record of you being part of the bloodline, so there'd be a break in your parental records because your father wasn't acknowledged or you were a foundling. Of course there's also that possibility that knowing that the squads were coming, someone managed to step into a dead man's shoes."
"Swap identities with someone who'd just died?" The Head of the Secretariat pursed her lips. "That would need an entire community to agree to keep the secret, wouldn't it? Or you'd have to move away immediately, unless you swapped a live newborn for a stillborn. Done right that could have very few people in on it. Do you think we'll find anyone, professor?"
"I think you're more likely to find the descendants of people like Emperor Yannic," smiled Professor Jerrec, "the results of princely dalliances and adventures.
"What we're actually looking for in this preliminary test," explained the senior laboratory technician to Head of the Secretariat and Professor Jerrec, "is a tag we identified on chromosomes in the reference samples the Emperor and Empress supplied. We don't know what it does but it does identify those chromosomes that are of interest to this study."
"So," asked the Head of the Secretariat, "have you found anything?"
"Actually, we have." The senior laboratory technician's smile gave her dimples. "There's a clustering of positive results from Headwaters that we've traced back to a man who was conceived and born there without a recorded father while the Underpass through the range was being built." She pressed some buttons and a family tree came up and scrolled through on the screen beside them. "With the help of Central Records we've been able to identify all his descendants and we believe that testing of these individuals," names at the bottom of the screen bolded in blue, "will give us samples of Gedim the Engineer's Y-chromosome."
"That could explain why we get so many engineers out of Headwaters," observed Professor Jerrec. "Have you found any female lines?"
"Unfortunately, no," sighed the senior laboratory technician. "The most interesting thing about the Empress' sample was her mitochondria. I'm quite in love with them and want them for my grandchildren. Another strain for comparison would be fascinating."
This turned out to lead into Almost Everything....

Grammys Rock, doesn't
The Grammys have stood and watched its rock category wither away
April 23, 2016
The 58th Grammy Awards aired Feb, 15, where the obvious happened: Taylor Swift won.
Swift won "Album of the Year" and "Best Pop Vocals" for her album "1989" and "Best Music Video" for "Bad Blood (featuring Kendrick Lamar)." It was plain to see that she would sweep the Grammys; she is a watershed female icon for those looking for a pop star role model and is capable of making thousands happy with her music.
She also is emblematic of what has happened to the rock categories at the Grammys.
Let's start with "Best Rock Song:" "Don't Wanna Fight" by Alabama Shakes (winner), "Ex's and Oh's" by Elle King, "Hold Back the River" by James Bay, "Lydia" by Highly Suspect, and "What Kind of Man" by Florence & the Machine.
Now for the sake of writing this I actually had to listen to "Hold Back the River." I only wish the committee had listened, then maybe they would notice that it most certainly isn't "rock," and neither is "Ex's and Oh's." If these are "rock songs," then I am building a time machine.
Rock music does not toss on a fedora and impersonate mainstream pop-folk (i.e. Mumford and Sons, the Lumineers and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros). Pop-folk is a subgenre of pop music I created that, for the most part, adds a ukulele. "Look how laid back and simple we are," one almost imagines the front man exclaiming somewhere between adjusting his suspenders and rubbing his Neutral Milk Hotel vinyl.
And I think we all know "Ex's and Oh's" is not a "rock" song. Period. Next subject.
So that you may better grasp my belief, imagine music like a spectrum. Ranging from folk and country to metal and screamo, this observation incorporates loudness and subject matter.
This is not a perfect means of judging genres; look at Johnny Cash's "Cocaine Blues" and "I Got Stripes," both of which were performed and recorded live in a prison! That's the most "rock" thing ever.
Just as appalling were the nominees for the "Best Rock Album:" "Drones" by Muse (winner), "Chaos and the Calm" by James Bay, "Kintsugi" by Death Cab for Cutie, "Mister Asylum" by Highly Suspect, and ".5: The Gray Chapter" by Slipknot.
You know my feelings on James Bay, so I'll save my word count and not mention him further. But is this really the best "rock" had to pick from?
I love Muse. I own all their albums. However their latest album should have been named "Dud." Despite the album's ballsy message about warfare from monitors, it is an overly processed cesspool of ill-expressed angst. While Slipknot disappointed most fans, plain and simple. And Sunny Day Real Estate lite – Death Cab for Cutie – was just happy to be invited.
These five acts are supposed to represent the best rock had to offer for 2015. Either the Grammys are right, meaning rock is more artificial than ever. Or the Grammys no longer represent those within the rock community.

To achieve great hair, you must first understand the causes of hair damage. If you educate yourself on quality products and hair maintenance, you will see your hair improve and become manageable. Read on, for hair care advice that really works.
If your hair is damaged, don't use appliances on it for a while so that it can recover. Curling irons and blow dryers can strain your hair, causing it to be impossible or hard to repair. Take breaks from the heat to allow your hair time to rejuvenate.
If you value your hair, don't use a blow dryer. Using heat to style your hair can make it frizzy. You should wrap up the hair for the longest amount of time you can. This lets your hair naturally dry, and prevent too much frizz.
Dull hair can be enhanced by using a clarifying shampoo. Dull hair can be caused by buildup of products over time. Clarifying shampoo used once or twice a week can remove dirt and the remnants of hair products.
When you're selecting new hair care products, it's best to seek out products that contain natural ingredients. You'll also want to find shampoos and conditioners that will work well with the type of hair you have. To get the best possible hair, try several products until you figure out the ones which work the greatest for your hair.
Use this easy and low-cost deep-conditioner to treat your dry hair. Dampen your hair with a spray bottle and massage in a generous portion of your everyday conditioner. Use a damp towel or plastic wrap to wrap your hair turban-style. After 30 minutes to an hour, shampoo your hair thoroughly and rinse it completely.
You hair can become damaged by exposure to curling irons and blow dryers. Be sure to protect your follicles by using styling products like creams and serums when using hot tools. Such products place a buffer between your hair and the heat.
Make sure you thoroughly but evenly add conditioner to your hair when you maintain it. Prior to rinsing out your conditioner, allow it to remain on the hair for a minute or two.
If you have curly hair, you ought to use a satin pillowcase. Traditional cotton ones may facilitate drying of the hair and leaching of key oils. Satin protects the hair, and increases the odds that your hair will remain curly overnight. A satin headscarf is also an option if for some reason the pillowcase won't work out.
Don't get attached to a certain brand of conditioner and shampoo. There will be a positive effect on your hair when you change the brand once in awhile. For example, products from one line may help to remove styling product buildup; another may be more effective for preventing dandruff or itching.
If you have dry hair, think about turning heat down in the shower. Hot water can create problems by drying your scalp and hair. Cooler water is easier for your body to deal with. A final rinse with cool water before you get out of the shower will give your hair some extra shine.
Be wary of chlorine in swimming pools. Chlorine is damaging to your hair. To help avoid this, wear a high-quality cap everytime you swim, or rinse your hair with clear water before entering the pool. This will help your hair soak the water, and not the chlorinated water. Many pools have showers in the locker area. Use the showers to rid the chlorine from your hair.
You need to exercise care when you are brushing your hair. It may seem that doing this will help the hair be softer but it just causes issues. Excessive brushing will pull hairs out at their root and also damage individual hairs.
Try using some home hair care products if it is too oily! You can use things like lemon juice and vinegar to help your hair with excess oil. Also, they can give the hair an added great looking shine. It is not always necessary to purchase more expensive products. Root around in your kitchen and see what you can find!
You should use hair products made specifically for curly hair. Doing this will ensure that you get enough moisture to keep your hair curly as opposed to becoming frizzy.
Begin by running a brush through the tips and then work it all the way through your hair until no knots remain. When your hair is smooth and tangle-free, do a brush stroke beginning at the roots and going down to the tips. This allows the brush to transport the scalps natural oil down to the hair tips.
When taking a dip in the pool, protect your tresses with a rubber swimming cap. Chlorine has been shown to cause significant damage to the hair. If you're not using a swim cap, wash your hair immediately following a swim to rinse out the chlorine.
You should allow your hair to naturally dry so that you do not have frizz. You should even avoid drying your hair with a towel. Blot your hair instead of rubbing it if you need it to dry quickly.
The chlorine that is found in pools is a real hair killer. You can protect your hair when you're swimming by getting a swimming cap. Wash your hair right after getting out of the pool so that you can minimize any damage. If you do a lot of swimming in chlorinated pools, you may want to consider a shampoo and a conditioner which is designed to remove chlorine.
Develop healthy habits if you want your hair to look its best. Anything which affects your body also affects your hair. Make an effort to decrease stress, exercise more, and eat right. If you smoke, try to stop.
As you have learned from this article, you have to know about everything that can damage your hair. Use the information gleaned from this piece often, and you are sure to develop a hair care plan suitable for your needs.
