Rapper, Lil Mama, has been arrested today for driving with a suspended license.. Ugh!!
According to TMZ, just around 4 a.m this morning (US time), the "Lip Gloss" rapper was pulled over in Harlem after being clocked as speeding 10 miles over the speed limit. NYPD sources say she was doing 38 in a 25.
When she handed her license over to the officer, he found that it had been revoked, therefore he had to put the "clank-clank" on her! Her license is allegedly revoked for failure to pay a ticket.
But one would think she would have taken care of the ticket already. No be superstar be that? Anyways no official statement has been made either by her or her publicist. Lemme go round up kitchen duties, maybe by then we'd know more. LOL

Logo of the Entertainment Software Association.
|Interactive Digital Software Association (1994-2003)
|Trade association
|Video game industry
|April 1994
|Washington, D.C., U.S.
Area served
|United States
Key people
|Michael Gallagher (President & CEO)
The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) is the trade association of the video game industry in the United States. It was formed in April 1994 as the Interactive Digital Software Association (IDSA) and renamed on July 21, 2003. It is based in Washington, D.C..[1][2] Most of the top publishers in the gaming world (or their American subsidiaries) are members of the ESA, including Capcom, Electronic Arts, Konami, Microsoft, Bandai Namco Entertainment, Nintendo, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Square Enix, Take-Two Interactive, Ubisoft, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
The ESA also organizes the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) trade expo in Los Angeles, California. The ESA's policy is based by member companies serving on the ESA's three Working Groups:[3] "Intellectual Property Working Group", "Public Policy Committee" and "Public Relations Working Group".
The concept of the IDGA/ESA arose from the controversies that the violence depicted in the video game Mortal Kombat drew. This led to a United States Congress hearing in late 1993 where the video game industry was put under scrutiny for the level of violence in games like Mortal Kombat and Night Trap. During these hearings, Sega and Nintendo blamed the other for the situation, citing differences in how they would rate the content of games for players. Following the hearings, Congressman Joe Lieberman proposed the Video Game Ratings Act of 1994, which would have set a government-overseen commission to establish a ratings system for video games, and threatened to push it through legislation if the video game industry did not voluntarily come up with one of its own. Recognizing the threat of government oversight, the companies decided to establish the IDGA to be a unified front and represent all video game companies at this level, and subsequently developed the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) to create a voluntary but standardized rating approach to video games. In July 1994, IDGA representatives returned to Congress to present the ESRB, which Congress accepted and became the standard for the American industry.[4][5]
The IDGA formally renamed itself to the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) on July 21, 2003. The renaming was made to reflect that the associated companies were primarily in the realm of creating entertainment software across ranges of devices, and the new name was selected to more clearly define the industry.[6]Doug Lowenstein founded the ESA.[7] On December 14, 2006, game blog Kotaku reported[8] that he was resigning to take a job in finance outside the industry. On May 17, 2007, Mike Gallagher replaced Doug Lowenstein as the president of the ESA.[9]
Gallagher announced on October 3, 2018 that he would be stepping down as president; current ESA senior vice-president Stanley Pierre-Louis will serve as interim president during ESA's search for a permanent replacement.[10]
In addition to overseeing the ESRB, the ESA organizes the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). After the IDGA's formation, the video game industry had become concerned over the treatment they had received at recent Consumer Electronic Shows and were seeking another trade show venue. The IDGA partnered with International Data Group (IDG) to organize the first E3, held in May 1995 in Los Angeles. The first E3 proved more successful than originally expected, and the IDGA negotiated with the IDG to take ownership of E3 and its intellectual property, with the IDG serving to help handle execution of the event.[4]
The ESA leads in confronting legislation that would be harmful to the video game industry, particularly related to video game rating controversies under the ESRB. Of note, the ESA was one plaintiff in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Ass'n, a Supreme Court case that judged that video games were protected works under the First Amendment in 2012.[11]
The ESA also engages in lobbying Congress. Some of this lobbying has been seen as controversial as to get laws passed that benefit the industry's copyright protection. According to a Bloomberg report, the ESA spent approximately $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 on lobbying efforts in Washington D.C. [12][13][14] The ESA has initially been a proponent of the proposed anti-piracy SOPA and PIPA legislation, Red 5 Studios CEO Mark Kern founded the League For Gamers (LFG), which intends to advocate for gamers' interests, which may conflict with the industry protection measures the ESA advocates. [15][16][17][18] In January 2012, the ESA dropped its support for both SOPA and PIPA, while calling on Congress to craft a more balanced copyright approach.[19]
Gregory Boyd, chairman of the Interactive Entertainment Group at the New York law firm stated, "When it comes to lobbying, the "main industry group" that individual companies defer to is the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), which spent $4.83 million on its own in 2012 -- more than Facebook, Google, or even the National Rifle Association (NRA)."[20]
The ESA also works to combat and reduce copyright infringement of video game-related works for the companies it represents. This is typically done through sending takedown or cease and desist notices to sites hosting infringing work, and working with search engines like Google to delist sites that host infringing files. They also work with law enforcement agencies to train agents how to handle copyright infringement.[21]
As of November 2018[22], the following companies are members of the ESA
Several companies opted not to renew their membership in the ESA in May 2008, including Activision, Vivendi Games, LucasArts and id Software. This followed from the ESA's option to change in the E3 format in 2007, which significantly reduced the size and venue due to complaints from the 2006 event, but ultimately led to much lower visibility and impact on the industry. The move cost the ESA $5 million and required them raising dues for members in the following year.[23]
Crave Entertainment left the ESA in June 2008 due to its pending acquisition by Fillpoint LLC.[24] As of October 9, 2008, Codemasters has also discontinued its membership in the ESA.[25]NCSoft left the ESA in December 2008, which was believed to be a cost-cutting measure for the company due to its weak financial state at that time.[26]
In April 2016, ESA lost three members: Mad Catz, Little Orbit and Slang.[27]

Well we're just over a month into the year and it's going well.
The Complete Entlebucher Mountain Dog Book is being well received and I have found some of the comments truly humbling. I've had requests to translate it into other languages, which is something I may consider, but not yet.
I'm making good progress with the second in the Flynn and Reilly series. Thank you to everyone who keeps asking when the next one is ready. It's great to know that I can't sit back and relax, because you're all waiting. I'm just over 5000 words in and have sent the opening off to two forthcoming competitions. I've also submitted New York Orphan to a competition for published titles. If the reviews so far are anything to go by, then it has to be in with a good chance.
I'm looking forward to running sessions on generating ideas at the York Festival of Literature and on both Publishing and Mind Mapping at Swanwick Writers Summer School in August. I'm also looking forward to later in the year when the York Museum Trust Book Group plan to read New York Orphan and I shall be attending their discussion on the book.
Now back to the writing before you all tell me off!

"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory…" ~Matthew 25.31, KJV
What a word.
Glory—a word that comes with so much theological baggage.
In a season where we have pastors eisegeting scripture rather than exegeting them, doing their best to usher in "God's glory," I discover the glory of God in the ordinariness of a messy desk. While pastors preach about peace in some far off place beyond the moon, and outside of space, scripture speaks of Jesus announcing God's reign is coming soon, even now.
When I get frustrated by folks in my profession who don't speak for me but get all the limelight, I remember how God's glory arrived in the world: in an unexpected place, at an unexpected time, to an unexpected peasant girl who clenched her fist and sung about the victory of God.
That's the glory of God, y'all. The church exists to sign, to signal, to sing about that tension whereby those who are at the bottom are being lifted up, and those who are on top are brought down.
Glory, as found in the gospels, is…
Jesus feeding the hungry multitudes as a gift of God's overflowing compassion rather than as an act of economic enslavement!
Jesus performing miracles not as means of harnessing divine powers for himself, but as a sign of God's in breaking strength in the world!
Jesus exercising power for good, but not by the means and methods of the world's kingdoms!
Advent is that time we prepare for the arrival of God's glory in unexpected places—in the ordinariness of life.
And what's glorious about this is how Jesus made available God's kingdom, power, and glory to ordinary folks like you and me to participate in the same kingdom, power, and glory.
Which makes me think of the prayer we pray daily—the Lord's Prayer.
The Lord's Prayer says that this kingdom, this power and this glory reconceived in life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, is now and forever.
The kingdom for which we pray is not pie in the sky by and by, and can only come when we name Jerusalem as a capital. But instead, the kingdom, the reign of God, is now—we must not wait because we need not wait to be friends with God because God has already chosen us.
In Christ, the kingdom of God has been brought near to us; usually made known now to us only in glimpses.
Like in a painting of child who found your church to be … fun…
Or written in a card by a group of people who wanted to tell you "that you are loved by many"….
Or in the wrappings and ribbons from a gift by a beloved friend who reminds you often of your belovedness …
Or in a space that smells like smoke but feels like home …
Or …
And that's the thing, friends. The real glory of God occurs when the hungry get food, the children get gifts, and the women receive justice.
God's glory came in the innocence of a child…in such a mundane way.
Like this messy desk of mine from today.
What a word. What a day.

I gave him a really long whimsical tail that wraps around him. I'm actually not that happy with him, but the kids love him so that's all that counts. I think it's cute how much my kids get excited over my needle felting projects, they are great for the ego :)

EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) and RFI (Radio-Frequency Interference) Shielding:
These types of seals are a specialized category of conductive seals. EMI RFI shielding technology is a key element in creating low-observable / stealth systems.
EMI and RFI shielding products manufactured by Jonal are made from specialty elastomers containing precious metal fillers, imparting high electrical conductivity / low resistance, while also having the flexibility properties of rubber. Seals of this type are used to protect sensitve electronic equipment in three ways: 1) To attenuate impinging external radiation (RADAR, EMP etc. from entering the enclosure, 2) To prevent internal radio frequency signals escaping from the enclosure, and 3) to provide environmental sealing against dust, moisture, etc.

It's been one of those Saturdays I enjoy the most: a small wander around to do some tasks that had piled up (framing a print; returning not-too-overdue books to the library) and a trip to the farmers' market, and then some home-based tasks of hand washing items, laundry, and a bit of a tidy up while the slightly grubby, wet, cold weather continues. These are all tasks that needed doing; they are also all tasks that I used to completely avoid the teaching work I needed to do. But the main thing is a gentle sense of contentment and joy in the knowledge that I am still British enough to call this pottering.

Scam calls have occurred in Clark County before, and customers are still being targeted by these illegal schemes.
Residential and business customers have reported receiving calls claiming to be from Clark Public Utilities, threatening disconnection unless a payment is made immediately. This is a SCAM.
These calls can be very convincing and might even appear to be from our utility phone number on caller ID. But they are fake and illegal.
If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from Clark Public Utilities and asking for a payment – HANG UP – then call us back at 360-992-3000 to check the status of your account. We are available 24/7, every day of the year.
Often the scam callers will instruct you to purchase a prepaid gift card (sometimes specifically a "green dot" card) and ask you to call back to pay using that card. The utility would never ask customers to do this.
Some scammers have recorded messages that sound similar to the Clark Public Utilities welcome message. All of these fraudulent efforts on the part of the criminal callers can make these calls very deceptive and convincing.
Do not make a payment if you receive this kind of call. Hang up and call us back.

Vervet Monkey Chlorocebus pygerythrus - Dash
Dash came to us more than a decade ago from a sanctuary that was in the process of closing down. She has a home here for the rest of her live. Dash is quite placid and calm she is very gentle when given food. Vervet monkeys diet consists of fruits, figs, leaves, seeds and in the wild they will also take birds eggs and young chicks, as well as enjoying insects. They can live up to 24 years in captivity.
Vervet monkeys are known as food raiders in South Africa, they have little fear of humans and live in large troops in the wild. These monkeys are classed as vermin in their native land and sadly can be killed, without even having to have a permit to do it.
An interesting fact about vervet monkeys is that they possess what is called the 'Rudiments of Language'. The calls they are able to make vary depending on the threat to the community. They have very distinctive calls to warn out for leopards, snakes and falcons.
In Kruger National Park in South America armed guards protect the public from these monkeys coming too close to them, as it is estimated that every day 5 people get bitten by them in the Park. It is, however due to human encroachment into their natural habitat that has caused these monkeys to subsequently become unafraid of humans and also being regularly fed by some tourists does not help.
The vervet monkey has a complex and fragile social system, its ongoing persecution by electricity pylons, vehicles, dogs, pellet guns, poison and bush meat is thought to have affected troop structures and diminishing numbers. They are also used in biomedical research. Multiple organisations are involved in vervet monkey conservation.

Choosing how to raise your organisation's profile need not be a black and white decision. The variety of ways in which you can boost people's awareness of you appears to be ever growing – good news! Some methods can be done at the click of a button, others require months of meticulous planning. So, how can you work out what to do next?
Two of the most effective and increasingly popular ways to establishing your 'presence' amidst the constant jostling for position are PR and social media.
But what are they, how are they different and which should you choose? Should it be one or the other?
What can you expect from PR?
In the olden days PR meant ruddy-faced men in blazers having eight-hour lunches with editors. It was referred almost entirely to printed press coverage and stemmed from the theory that the public is much happier reading neutral press coverage of a business than a paid-for advertisement. The former holds more credibility and reliability… the latter that you are one of the few to still have a marketing budget. Nowadays, however, it goes further and includes online coverage, viral marketing, blogging and much more… in short, PR has become a lovely warm grey area, blanketing communications and covering 'everything that is relevant to creating a buzz about your brand through the written or spoken word'… many people call it reputation management.
The good news is that PR typically sticks around. If a magazine or newspaper decides to write about you, often it will appear online as well. This guarantees you a spot on Google, somewhere, for years to come. Even the local papers are online now and a quick search of your organisation's name will draw up headlines both in the 'Everything' search and 'News' search. And we all know that online mentions = SEO points. The more you have, the more points.
So, how do you get a mention? In many cases PR starts with a press release – a short document that gets sent out to the press. Good copy goes a long way. To increase your chances of being featured in the right places saying the right thing, your press release or approach needs some fantastic copy. It needs to hit them between the eye in a sea of spam… it needs to get to the point quickly and clearly state the things that they want and need to know.
Many people make the mistake of thinking a last minute half-hearted attempt at a press release will do. More often than not this leads to misquoting or no mention at all. Investing in a copywriter to deliver something concise, informative and interesting is the best way to improve the likelihood of your news being featured.
Good bits: If you handle it yourself, it's free! You could be featured in a variety of different magazines and papers, online and offline. PR often stays put on Google for years and these links all help with your search engine ranking.
Bad bits: No guarantee your press releases will be featured. A good press release needs time and sometimes money spent on it. Even if you have a great press release, you have no control over what slant the reporter will put on it. Difficult to ensure it is being seen by the right audience and even harder to get more than just a mention.
How does social media differ?
In the sense that it's about getting people talking, social media doesn't differ. In fact, for this very reason, it's often included as part of a PR strategy.
However, unlike traditional PR, social media is a much more instant and constant way of building your organisation's profile. Large social networks such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook allow you to make sure the right people see your business.
Social media allows you to connect with your target audience directly and interact with customers and clients both one-to-one and as a whole. You don't have to wait for the right people to happen upon your press coverage, cut it out and send it on… with social media, users that decide to 'follow' or 'like' you have already expressed an interest in your brand, allowing you to use those contact details to trial different marketing strategies until you find the best ones for your audience.
Elements of social media give businesses the opportunity to connect with other companies directly too. 'Retweets' on Twitter and 'Shares' on Facebook can help spread your organisational message across a much wider audience. If you get the tone right, social media can be used as a rather slick sales pitch and gives you control over what online presence and personality your brand has.
But there must be a downside… You only have to take one look at the 'Trending Topics' on Twitter to see how quickly things come and go on social media. Messages you send are often lost in a white noise of mindless chatter on newsfeeds. A single status update does not have the impact that a dedicated article in a magazine does and there's no guarantee larger companies or businesses will share your messages.
Creating a good social media presence takes time and patience. Many businesses fall into the cliché of allowing interns to run their social media accounts because they are young and 'with it'. This can often, but not always, backfire. Good social media strategy and managing requires someone who knows their stuff and often this will come with a price tag.
Good bits: Again, it can be free! It's instant and allows you to keep a targeted audience of customers and clients updated with exactly what you want to say. You can alter strategies depending on how your target audience reacts. You can give your organisational profile some personality and, most importantly, you can change things as you go along, adapting to feedback.
Bad bits: It can be disposable, within seconds your update has moved down your audience's newsfeeds and can go unnoticed. Fantastic social media takes time and patience and sometimes a professional. It lacks some of the weight and consumer influence that traditional PR carries.
So, which is best?
In short the answer is neither and both… so don't reach for that coin to flip just yet. A good combination of PR and social media, working together, can help you build your profile over multiple channels. Rather than focusing completely on one method, spend some time to see how both could work for you. Don't jump on the bandwagons and sign up for everything. Do your research and see what other similar organisations are using.
The most important thing is to ensure whatever your message and medium, it is pitched as one person talking to another. Always keep it relevant to your target audience – both in terms of the language you use and the places you 'say' it.

Hidden away
Unable to connect.
Expression hindered
and self oppressed.
Arms flapping wildly
To sense the body.
Faulty wiring
Gone awry.
Trapped in a maze
Of twisted vines
No beginning
And no end.
Sticky cobwebs
Never swept away.
Unused branches
Never pruned.
Muted senses
The mTOR protein
Blocked the process
Of new connections
And old removed.
This tangled mess—
Axons misfired
Dendrites misplaced
Encompassing the soul
Cocooned within.
Once upon a time,
On the right track
Cooing, babbling
Speaking child
Set off course.
An injury
Of some sort.
From without
Triggered within.
The immune system
Engaged war
With the one
It was sworn
To protect.
And sensitivities
The hurt.
White matter
And grey
Forced to survive
The wrong way.
The result: autism.
But for this child
Given to me
A bright highlight
Following grief
My baby.
Read to
In the mirror
How can I free you?
When I am trapped?
Love is the key
To open the way
In my own soul
To embrace
A new dream
And let
The old one go.

'The Practice of the Presence of God' is a short book, consisting of three sections. There are some reported conversations with Brother Lawrence, some letters he wrote to nuns and also women 'in the world', and then, at the end, some spiritual maxims he lived by.
There was also a lengthy introduction in the version I read, which I found a bit long-winded and tedious - but it's not part of the original.
Brother Lawrence advocates a total reliance on God, and - in effect - regular short chats with him, involving him in every part of the day, including chores. Brother Lawrence worked in a kitchen for some years, and apparently talked to God while peeling vegetables or washing dishes, and found that the more he did this, the more he felt in God's presence continually.
However, this seems rather obvious to me. I'm not one to spend hours at a time in prayer; perhaps I should, but I much prefer to 'chat' to God silently through the day. I don't always remember; I certainly haven't reached Brother Lawrence's level of feeling himself in God's presence all the time. But in the theory, I didn't find anything new.
Moreover, I wasn't entirely comfortable with his comments about suffering. He told people to pray not that their suffering or pain would be removed, but that they would be able to worship God despite it, and perceive it as something to help them draw closer to him. Of course, that can certainly happen at times, but in my reading of the New Testament, Jesus physically healed people - he didn't tell them to learn to deal with their suffering and see it as a way of getting closer to God.
More worrying still, Brother Lawrence seems to wish that he were suffering, as if that would somehow make him holier. Perhaps the translation isn't clear, or perhaps I missed something... but this seems like very dangerous ground. Yes, we need to trust God in our sufferings, and draw close to him, and love him even if we're in pain. But that doesn't mean we should ever look for suffering, or see ourselves as better if we do suffer.
Still, I'm glad I read this book. It wasn't a difficult read, and it was interesting to get an insight into this holy man. It's still in print in both the USA and UK in several editions, and is evidently still very popular... maybe I'm a lone voice in wondering why.

This is the embroidery project that I stitched in an embroidery class at the community center. I took a photograph at Hampton Court Palace, made a few changes - added the birch tree and enlarged the bench. The fabric was painted with fabric paint and the bench was drawn on with a fabric pen. By painting the grass and sky on the fabric there was no need to stitch it. The picture to the above shows the photograph and the painted fabric before any of the stitching was started.
I used DMC, Anchor and overdyed cotton floss, made a case to hold the thread to try to keep them straight and organized.
The fabric was put on a frame and the stitching began.
The stitches used were stem stitch, chain stitch, small straight stitches, satin stitch, French knots, buttonhole, lazy daisy, long and short, fly stitches and bent straight stitches.
It took a couple of months to complete this project and it is well worth the time. This is the first time I have ever done something like this and look forward to doing more of these kinds of projects in the future.
I will be posting more completed projects from the classes I have taken at the Royal School of Needlework in the next few days too.

Formula for dating age xkcd
For the data we're tracking, a sex change operation is the same as, for example, a man leaving the show and a woman subsequently entering it.
Sure, you could then also say that the cast being constant is an assumption of the graph, but that's not really accurate either.
1.251 , 21 March 2017 (UTC) I think a better way to explain the gay pairing equation would be to look at it like this: n(n-1)/2 are all possible pairings, since you take each person(n), pair them with everyone except themselves(multiply by n-1) and then divide by 2 to eliminate pairing the same people twice.
Then substract x(n-x) which is the equation for all straight pairings.
The graph simply doesn't observe the passage of time.
You'd have to add a time axis for that, making the graph three-dimensional.
The equations in the comic and the graph show how many different love pairs can be made if you know the number of females and males in a group.
The graph already needs to be re-drawn every time someone enters or leaves the cast.
- x(n-x)=x(x-n), hence the second part of this equation.(Hope I'm editing correctly) It actually comes out that if each individual's gender is chosen randomly, the expected value for straight casts and for gay casts is the same (not too hard to prove via induction).
(Also known as the "Rule of 7") Free online voice chat to improve english Standard Creepiness Rule is an equation that determines the youngest possible age of a potential date that is deemed to be.
To avoid double counting the possible couples, we therefore need to divide that total by 2. Similar reasoning involving the (n-x) females tells us that there are (n-x)(n-x-1)/2 possible female-female pairings.
Multiplying these out and combining the male and lesbian couples together, we get the total number of possible gay couples as [x^2 - x n^2 - nx - n - xn x^2 x]/2. The left two terms can be combined together as n(n-1) and the right two terms can be combined together as -2x(n-x) or 2x(x-n) [which is negative, because x-n As a worked example, for Firefly, of the 9 principal cast, 5 are men and 4 are women.

Comments about Johnson's No More Tangles Detangling Spray:
My three daughters have shoulder-length, thick hair and brushing was a long, drawn out affair complete with whining, drama, and tears. No matter how gentle I tried to be, brushing would still hurt. This Johnson's No More Tangles Detangling Spray works pretty much on contact to tame wild tresses and loosen those pesky, painful knots. Just spray liberally and massage into hair for a few minutes and the hair brush just glides through your child's hair. This detangling spray is lightweight and non-greasy so thinner baby hair stays soft and bouncy. I'll admit that I've used this detangling spray on my thick curly hair as well and it works great! About the only con to this product is that the spray bottle is on the small size so you could find yourself buying 2-3 bottles at a time just to ensure that you have enough on hand or making extra runs to the store to buy more every time you run out of product.
Comments about Johnson's No More Tangles Detangling Spray:
Johnson's No More Tangles is the best hair detangler i have found for my children's hair. My 5 year old has very long hair, and it's very hard to brush, and style. I love using this before she washes her hair to get the knots out easily. Before we used this product, brushing her hair was a nightmare that typically involved tears. Now that we use this she doesn't cry when i brush her anymore. It works great in wet or dry hair. I use it everyday and it doesn't weigh her hair down or make it look dull. I also use it in my 3 year old daughter's hair, which is curly. It works great for her curly hair too. I love the scent too. We rely on no more tangles so much that i buy a new bottle before we run out because i don't want to ever go a day without having it.
Comments about Johnson's No More Tangles Detangling Spray:
When my toddler began giving me issues when it came time to putting shampoo in her hair I knew it was the beginning of problems resulting in a lot of frustration and a knotty mess. In the days which followed I purchased this product to help get the knots out while she boycotted shampoo. It worked wonders! Helped prevent trangles and allowed me to easily comb her hair. Would definitely reccommend!
Comments about Johnson's No More Tangles Detangling Spray:
I have super thick and long hair, and tangles have always been a problem for me. When brushing my hair becomes a fight with my hair..I thought it was time for some outside help.
I found Johnson & Johnson No More Tangles detangling spray. You can use this wet or dry hair, it seems to work better for me if my hair is wet when applying. It is not just for kids, its great on any hair type that wants to be tangle free. No rinsing needed, just leave on hair, it does a great job of untangling and leaving hair soft. I wish I would have bought this years ago.
Comments about Johnson's No More Tangles Detangling Spray:
I have a two year old with long hair that tangles easily, doesn't lie flat and is prone to static. She used to run when she saw me coming with the brush in the morning but this product is like magic. Somehow when it is sprayed on the hair, it makes tangles much easier to brush out - almost like the hairs detangle partly by themselves. I'm not going to say she enjoys having her hair brushed now but there are no longer actual tantrums. I find it also works well right after her bath when her hair has just been shampooed and is still wet. If you spray this detangler all over the hair including underneath and then comb it really improves things. It can also be used to keep static at bay and to rewet hair so it lies flat after being in a clip, etc. It has a slight very gentle fragrance which is not over-powering in the least. I would definitely recommend this product.
Comments about Johnson's No More Tangles Detangling Spray:
The Johnson and Johnson No More Tangles Spray detangler is the best I have ever tried! I even tried the store brand to save a little money and it was not worth it! The Johnson and Johnson No More Tangles Spray is very affordable and prevents alot of morning fights with my five year old daughter, she is one of those children cursed with half wavy half curly, frizzy thin hair. Every morning it looks like she has been rubbing her head with an inflated ballon! But in under five minutes The Johnson and Johnson No More Tangles Spray Detangler can reduce her poofball hair to a nice sleek pony tail, with very very minimal whining! (which for here is almost unheard of, the child can manage to whine about everything LOL) I will buy the Johnson and Johnson No more tangles spray detangler by the case whenever I can, it gets used at least twice daily and is a great gentle quick way for me to tame some of my flyaways when I am in a rush!
Comments about Johnson's No More Tangles Detangling Spray:
My mother used Johnson & Johnson No More Tangles on my hair when I was young and now I use it on my daugher's hair. I typically only use natural/organic prodcuts on my children's hair and skin, but I make an exception since this works so well. My daughter has the super-fine hair typical of a toddler and it tangles so easily - when she's playing, napping, etc. She hates having her hair combed, so I have to make the process as quick as possible and No More Tangles definitely helps. After I've washed her hair in the bath, I spray some on and comb through while her hair is still wet and in the mornings/after her naps, I spray down her dry hair and then comb. Somehow this product seems to work wonders and loosens up her stubborn tangles. It makes her hair much easier to comb and I no longer have to tug at her hair to get the tanlges out. I like the smell and it makes her hair smell nice. The pump does get clogged easily and I've had to run it under warm water to declog it a few times.
Comments about Johnson's No More Tangles Detangling Spray:
I have unusually wiry and coarse hair that tends to "clump" into small little ringlets that look kind of awkward (and tug super painfully) when I brush them out. When I spray on this detangling spray after I get out of the shower and before my hair dries, and work through my hair slowly with a brush, the little ringlets turn into big waves at the ends of my hair that are well separated (as in they don't clump weirdly). It also seems that spraying it on my hair lets me preserve my waves while going a day or two in between washing my hair. This alone makes this product very useful because it helps me avoid overwashing, which dries coarse and wavy hair out (and makes it frizz - the dreaded enemy of all curly-haired gals)
Other reviewers have mentioned that they don't like the smell; I personally didn't find that to be a problem as it was so faint. Just shake it before you spray, and don't over do it.

Comanches not easy pickings for buffalo hunters

Acting like the Paul Revere of the Texas Panhandle, Pat Garrett rode from camp to camp on Feb. 22, 1877 warning fellow buffalo hunters, "The Comanches are coming! The Comanches are coming!"
That, of course, was not altogether true. The Indians had been in the vicinity for weeks but posed no real danger to white hunters with sense enough to keep their distance.

Barcelona win race for Croatia wonder-kid Alen Halilovic
Highly-rated Croatian teenage midfielder Alen Halilovic, a target for several Premier League clubs including Tottenham, is set to join Barcelona from Dinamo Zagreb.
Barca boss Tata Martino confirmed the Catalan giants have held several rounds of talks since 2010, with the aim of bringing 17-year-old Halilovic to the Nou Camp.
"He is coming here to play for the B team," Martino told reporters. Halilovic is set to follow in the footsteps of a string of current Barcelona stars, including Lionel Messi.
Replacing ageing metronome Xavi Hernandez is one of Martino's top priorities at Barca, along with signing a centre back to take over from injury-plagued veteran Carles Puyol.
Tottenham, who are 7/2 shots for a top-four Premier League finish this season, were interested in signing Halilovic because, despite his tender years, he has already drawn comparisons with former White Hart Lane playmaker Luka Modric – now at Real Mardid.
Capturing Halilovic will be something of a coup for Barcelona (7/2 to win the Champions League) as he is rumoured to have attracted interest from Bayern Munich (favourites to retain the trophy at 2/1).
Halilovic made his senior club bow in Zagreb's 3-1 Eternal derby win over Hajduk Split, becoming the youngest ever player to appear in the Croatian top-flight.
He then broke the record of youngest goalscorer in that division 10 days after his debut.
Already earning three caps for his country, Halilovic became Croatia's youngest senior international when then-coach Igor Stimac handed him a debut against Portugal in June 2013.
Croatia are in hosts Brazil's World Cup group after reaching the tournament finals by beating Iceland in the play-offs. Niko Kovac is now their national boss, and will also take charge of games against Cameroon and Mexico.
Whether Halilovic will be called up for the World Cup remains to be seen. Croatia are second-favourites behind Brazil both to win the group and qualify from it, so back them at 7/1 and 11/10 respectively.

Art Therapy Personal Exploration:"Selfish vs. Self love"
"Selfish vs. Self love"
Have you ever been called selfish? It's a weighted word that can quickly induce guilt. Interesting enough, as adults we tend to inflict it upon ourselves and those we love quite readily. When we claim that someone is being selfish aren't we just expressing our dislike of how they are handing a situation? Aren't we just passing judgement on what someone else is doing?
If we act from a place of being "selfless", and giving others what they need, aren't we acting like martyrs or victims- and doesn't that lead to being resentful when these acts are not appreciated? It is so easy to default to these cycles of giving to others and believing our needs are secondary, that we should act "selfless". Yet, it is inevitable we will end up resentful and hurt that these pious deeds have gone unnoticed.
Can we shift to thinking about self love instead?-To the realization that when we take care of our own needs we do not ever put another person in the position of trying to meet our needs or that we are responsible for their needs. How freeing!
When we respect ourselves enough to listen to and nurture our own needs first we can be there for others in ways we never could when we are depleted, tired, overwhelmed, or just plain EMPTY.
So here's a playful art activity to help you shift from thinking your behaviors are selfish to self loving. Take a large piece of paper and draw a line down the middle. On one side of the page use markers, crayons, or any art materials that you desire, and create images or words of things you do, think, or feel that you consider "selfish". On the other side of the paper create images or words of things you do, think, or feel, that are self-loving, self-nurturing, or self-honoring. Reflect on what you have learned about yourself through this process of self-discovery.

Art Therapy and Children: Do You Rescue?
|There are tremendous opportunities to learn and grow and at times this involves allowing those that we love to make choices and learn from natural consequences. There's a term for those who hover over their children's choices, helicopter parenting. These parents rush in solve the problems for their children, without allowing them an opportunity to lean and grow from their experiences. Many parents are unsure of how to support their children and are fearful of not doing the "right" thing. The feature article provides some insights to help guide you as you support and encourage your loved ones (of all ages).
If you have a relationship of any kind, with a spouse, friend, parent, or child, then you have encountered someone else making a decision you would never dream of doing. There is pain seeing that person making a choice your know in your heart is just not the "right" decision for them. Ironically, the closer we are to the person, the more we believe we know what's right for them, and often we will make comments or demands upon them, based upon our knowing what's best.
We would never dream of telling our co-worker what they are wearing is wrong and they should change, yet it becomes almost a duty to be hypercritical about what our spouse or children are wearing or doing. Often when tasks that are delegated to those in the household are not completed, we jump in to do it. Heaven forbid your child wear wrinkled clothes to school because they left their laundry on the floor.
Most parents who rescue fear what others might think or that things won't get done exactly right, or if they don't control the situation their child may fail or get hurt. Most people rescue because they love those around them and they don't want to see them hurt. However, rescuing sets up a whole new set of problems. The person you rescue doesn't get to learn from their actions. They don't learn how to self-correct, or make changes when they are off course, since they have had someone doing that for them. They don't learn how to overcome obstacles and when they do arise (and they always do) they are unprepared. I've had many young adults in my office who just didn't know how to handle tough stuff because their parents did it for them when they were growing up.
The question that most people ask is how do they know when to intervene. The first question to ask, is it a safety issue? Meaning if you don't intervene will someone get hurt physically? If it is a safety issue, step in and set a boundary. All other issues are not black and white. I love to challenging parents to talk out the choices and consequences with their children. For tasks such as homework and household chores personal accountability works wonders. Have a neutral discussion (without getting emotional about the topic) and develop a contract to help identify what will be done and what are the consequences. Contracts do work, when they are done right, meaning they are respectful of each person's needs and there is an incentive to change for both parties.
For things such as bullying at school or children who are having emotional problems a more supportive role is necessary. Parents often step in too early and attempt to stop bullying, which may cause more social problems for their children. Brainstorm with your child solutions, allow them to test some out before you become involved. If things continue to be a problem and it becomes a psychological safety issue, there may be a need for more direct involvement.
Encourage your child to take part in choosing their consequences. If they have done something wrong, ask them to come up with the consequences. You'll be amazed at how they will learn from this, with less tantrums and more personal accountability.
Here's the important part to remember, those who rescue others become resentful. They will do, and do, and do, and then finally get upset that everyone treats them disrespectfully and takes advantage of them. Stop the cycle of rescuing so you don't fall into this pattern, and you allow others an opportunity to learn.
Here's a creative activity to help you identify times when you rescue. Take out a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle. On the left side write the word rescue and on the right side write the word support. Fill in the page with images and words of times when you rescue (what you say and do) and what it might look like if you supported that person instead.

A former Emmet County Jail employee has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor embezzlement charge after he stole money from a lost wallet that was turned in at the jail last year.
Kenneth Raymond, 50, of Pellston pleaded guilty Wednesday in Emmet County's 90th District Court to one count of embezzlement by agent or trustee, $200-$1,000. The crime is punishable by up to one year in jail and/or up to a $2,000 fine.
Raymond's plea was part of a plea agreement with the Emmet County Prosecutor's office. In exchange for his guilty plea, the original, 10-year felony charge of embezzlement by a public officer will be dismissed.
In his plea, Raymond admitted that on March 14, 2002, in the course of his employment as a corrections officer at the Emmet County Jail, he took $85 out of a lost wallet that had been turned in to the jail. Raymond said he brought the money back the next day.

From labor disputes cases to labor and employment publications, for your research, you'll find solutions on Bloomberg Law®. Protect your clients by developing strategies based on Litigation...
Internal reviews for hiring bias risks should include all steps and documents in a company's recruitment and hiring processes, a lawyer who represents employers told Bloomberg BNA.
Employers should review their hiring processes and results as well as trends to make sure they line up with what's expected based on the local labor pool for the job or jobs in question, Peter J. Gillespie said.
Indeed, federal employment rights watchdog the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in agency guidance, has warned employers of the risks of job discrimination at the various stages of the hiring process, including in job advertisements, recruitment materials and methods, job applications, and background checks.
"That makes it important to look at each piece of the equation and each step to make sure things line up with what's required by the law," Gillespie said. He is of-counsel with Laner Muchin Ltd. in Chicago.
Companies should undertake "a big picture, holistic review" of what they're doing right and wrong, he said, especially in light of the current nationwide focus on hiring practices and a spike last year in hiring bias charges filed with the EEOC.
"The employment application is the employer's first line of defense," according to management-side attorney Claudia D. Orr.
Companies should account for—and take advantage of—the differences in local employment laws in their job applications, she said. For example, in Michigan, where she practices, it's legal for an employer to get employees and applicants to agree to a period as short as 180 days to bring a bias claim rather than the three years permitted under state law. They also may shorten the state's 182-day window for requesting a disability-related job accommodation, Orr said.
"But these are only defenses to the extent the shortened periods are disclosed," so they need to be included in a company's job application for the employer to gain the benefit, she said. Orr is a senior attorney with Plunkett Cooney P.C. in Detroit.
For companies that hire regularly, applications are even more important than an employer handbook, she said. But employer handbooks also need to be carefully crafted, Orr said.
"I don't like for my clients to just have one handbook organization-wide," she said. Instead, companies want a handbook that covers the general rules overall as well as the local rules and laws that apply to the particular location—sort of a "state supplement," she said.
Like job applications, handbooks should be prepared and reviewed by an attorney skilled in or knowledgeable of local law, Orr said.
Employers also need to be sure that their job descriptions are up-to-date and aren't a potential source of claims, Orr and Gillespie told Bloomberg BNA.
There are "two big things" employers need to look for when putting together or reviewing recruitment materials, plaintiffs-side attorney Donna M. Ballman said. She is a solo practitioner in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and the author of Screw You Guys, I'm Going Home, a blog on employee-side employment law issues.
First, she said, the employer should ask if the job advertisement or recruiting material implies the company is seeking candidates only from a certain group or groups. The second question is whether the ad or material could disproportionately exclude or discourage applicants from a certain protected group or groups.
Gillespie said companies also need to be careful if they use or are considering using artificial intelligence to aid in the recruitment or initial applicant-screening process. They should vet the software or application provider carefully to be certain it can answer questions about how the program or app was tested to make sure it actually reduces the risk of bias, he said.
The employer also should take a good look at the job description for the position it's looking to fill using the program or app, he added. The position description, which typically includes a job's qualifications, duties, and responsibilities, usually will be what the artificial intelligence uses to screen applicants, Gillespie said.
Some employers use personality assessments as a screening or testing tool. These assessments also come with risks.
"I'm not a fan of personality assessment tests, which some of my clients use," Orr said. If such tests aren't properly drafted, they may stray into seeking protected mental health or other medical information from a disabled applicant, which could end up triggering liability risks under the Americans with Disabilities Act, she said.
"Personality assessments can also screen out minorities," who sometimes don't answer all of a test's questions, she added. For example, because of a potentially different worldview—including first-hand experiences with the police—minorities may object to questions about how they respond to authority or whether they would turn in to the employer lost property they found in the workplace, Orr said.
Another concern with personality assessments is that even though they may be advertised by the vendor as "validated" for purposes of employment laws, that representation may not offer the employer much insulation from potential liability from bias claims, Orr said. "If the vendor won't indemnify you," that's a warning its test may be inherently dangerous.
Improper or questionable inquiries of an applicant during a job interview also may create problems.
No interview questions "are per se illegal," Ballman said. But there are some inquiries that may end up creating evidence of discrimination, she said.
For example, it's best to avoid asking a mixed-race candidate, "What are you?" or a woman with children, "How are you going to juggle childcare duties?" she said.
Regardless of legal concerns or the possibility of creating unwanted evidence of hiring bias, many job candidates believe certain questions "are illegal," Ballman added. Thus, being asked those questions "really offends them," she said.
She advises her clients to answer such questions anyway and to note the fact that they were asked, she said. "That way, if the applicant gets the job, maybe it's not an issue." But it may prove to be evidence of bias if the applicant isn't hired or if problems develop between the applicant and the employer post-hire, Ballman said.
"Employers need to properly train employees who conduct hiring interviews" or they're going to get sued and lose good people, she warned.
Applicant background checks, from drug screenings to credit checks to criminal history reviews, also are fraught with potential peril for employers.
Orr said she advises her clients not to use third-party vendors to do credit checks on job applicants except for positions the company hires for regularly.
Using a third-party credit checker can trigger applicant rights and employer obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Orr said. Third-party vendors are considered to be "reporting agencies" under the FCRA, and a credit report provided to an employer by a reporting agency triggers the right of the applicant to correct the record before the employer can lawfully make a hiring decision under the law, she said.
"That can delay the hiring process, which is especially problematic if the job is a key position," she said.
She said she recently had a client use a third-party vendor to screen. When it came back with a negative credit report on the applicant, the employer had to give the applicant a chance to challenge the report.
That "delayed things." If the employer had gone to the government directly for the records, it wouldn't have been delayed in filling the position, Orr said.
