STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Staten Island University Hospital acknowledged its recent designation as an LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered) friendly health-care facility with a visit from renowned LGBT health care educator Dr. Harvey J. Makadon.
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) recognized SIUH for its commitment to equitable, inclusive care for LGBT patients and their families, who often face challenges when seeking medical treatment. The hospital is among 26 health-care facilities in New York State that are LGBT friendly.
At a luncheon with hospital administrators preceding his talk, Dr. Makadon, director of the National LGBT Health Education Center at the Fenway Institute in Boston, commended hospital administrators for efforts to establish an "inclusive and affirmative" atmosphere at SIUH.
"The experience is one of being out of your cultural element, not feeling understood, which ultimately interferes with your health care," said Dr. Makadon, referring to of the encounters of many LGBT patients.
SIUH, met four key criteria — patients' bill of rights, visitation policy, employment and training in LGBT patient-care for staff — to become Leaders in LGBT Healthcare Equality.
"The perception, historically, is that the [lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered] patient is not going to get treatment they will get in Manhattan, that Manhattan is a friendlier place. We want to make sure the community knows that we have a friendly, well-informed place here," said Celina Ramsey, who as diversity coordinator with SIUH is coordinating the LGBT initiative.
Steps have included including same-sex couples in promotional materials and training staff to be able to ask questions that do not make presumptions about sexual identity or orientation.
Whether or not a person responds to questions these questions, said Dr. Makadon, "it lets people know you are open to hearing about it and creates a dynamic for communication in the future."
In an address after lunch that included students and residents Dr. Makadon,who is also a clinical professor of medicine at Harvard University, continued to explore the importance of establishing a "welcoming and inclusive environment for caring, learning and working."
Commenting that there are times when we all experience disparities in health care, he asked "what are the implications of not knowing what someone's sexual orientation is?"
Some of the implications are seen in the numbers, he said. For example, men who have sex with men, ages 13 to 24, don't feel they are connected to any kind of care. Lesbian and bi-sexual women use preventative health services less frequently than the general population.
"Making questions about sexual history routine, without making assumptions, can help remove discomfort as a barrier to health care," said Dr. Makadon.
Dr. Qusai Hammouri, a pediatric orthopedist with SIUH attended the talk.
"I'm very proud of our hospital for being a leader. It's very helpful to broach the topic and to know resources and such great education are available," he said.
SIUH, along with North Shore LI-J Health System hospitals Southside and Lenox Hill, are among the 464 health-care facilities nationwide that achieved Equality Leader status and were recognized in the Healthcare Equality Index 2013.

Teens who participated in the intervention Strong African American Families‒Teen at age 16 reported fewer conduct problems and depressive symptoms and less substance abuse at age 17‒18, compared to peers exposed to a control intervention.
January 2013
Clinical trials of N-acetylcysteine to help people recovering from drug abuse avoid relapse have demonstrated only moderate efficacy. New NIDA-supported research shows that while a low dose of the medication activates receptors associated with lowered drug-seeking behavior, a higher dose appears to activate receptors associated with increased drug-seeking behavior. The result suggests that a medication or combination of medications that stimulate the receptor GluR2/3 and block mGluR5 may work better than N-acetylcysteine alone.
Methadone treatment centers are not foci for serious criminal activity, according to a study that used crime reports and global positioning data to compare crime rates at various distances around methadone centers, hospitals, convenience stores, and residential neighborhoods.
NIDA-funded researchers have gathered evidence that brief interventions can help adolescents move away from drug use. In a clinical trial, middle and high school students markedly reduced their substance use following two 60-minute sessions that combined motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy.
December 2012
Study findings indicate that children exposed to methamphetamine prenatally show more signs of increased emotionality, anxiety, and depression than nonexposed children at ages 3 and 5 years.
The immune system has an extraordinary ability to recognize compounds foreign to the body and eliminate them. NIDA-sponsored scientists are working to harness this ability to create vaccines that will protect individuals against the psychogenic and addictive effects of abused drugs. This animation shows one of the most promising strategies, which has already yielded partial success in producing effective vaccines against nicotine, cocaine, and other drugs.
November 2012
NIDA-supported research suggests that glucocorticoid receptor levels during early brain development affect the hard wiring of neural circuits that shape an individual's basic emotional makeup. In mice, overexpression of the glucocorticoid gene in the first weeks after birth increased anxiety and response to cocaine in adulthood. These findings may help researchers understand the genetic background and the developmental trajectory of addiction.
The NIDA-supported Good Behavior Game recently was honored with the 2012 Mentor International Best Practice Award. The game, which focuses on reducing disruptive behaviors in elementary school classrooms, has been shown to prevent drug abuse and other problems in adolescence and young adulthood.
NIDA researcher Dr. Charles O'Brien recently received the James B. Isaacson Award for a lifetime of research on the biological basis of alcoholism.
NIDA Program Officer Dr. David Thomas speaks about the intertwined problems of pain and prescription opioid abuse, as well as the research supported by NIDA and the National Institutes of Health to address these problems.

Skip to comments.The Pleasures of Assassination
Posted on 12/30/2007 8:35:43 PM PST by ventanax5
When President Bush described the assassination of Benazir Bhutto as cowardly, he chose precisely the wrong word. (He was not the only person to do so, but he was the most important one to do so.) In fact, it was a very courageous act: for it requires great courage to assassinate someone in the middle of a large and volatile crowd favourable to that person, and above all then to blow yourself up just to make sure that you have succeeded. Not many people have that degree of courage: I certainly dont.
The two Islamic militants whose telephone call was putatively intercepted by the Pakistani security services, and who are claimed by them to have been the organisers of the assassination, were quite right when they called the two men who did it brave boys. They were brave all right; I do not see how it can very well be denied. Even if the transcript of the telephone call turns out to be a complete work of fiction, the authors of it got something right that President Bush got wrong
(Excerpt) Read more at newenglishreview.org ...
Soldiers are individuals who dress up for war.
Terrorists are individuals who dress down for war.
If Allah, is on your side, put on a uniform signifying this profound fact and let's see how you do?
Piss off Theodore .. not many people have that degree of depravity, courage has nothing to do with it.
It was demon possession.
Lawrence Auster
"This is from the Times of India
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday expressed deep shock over the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, saying that the incident is a "reminder" of the common dangers faced in the sub-continent.
"The manner of her going is a reminder of the common dangers that our region faces from cowardly acts of terrorism and of the need to eradicate this dangerous threat," he said in a statement from Goa.
Is there not something deeply wrong with a culture in which, when mass murder occurs, political leaders and pundits immediately describe it as a "reminder"—as though the most important thing about a monstrous crime is not that it's a monstrous crime, but that it leads us to a thought process about some other issue? This is the abstract and unreal mind-set of liberalism, which, as we can see, has taken root in India as well as in the West.
Another word that ought to be dropped in these circumstances is "cowardly." Obviously, there is nothing cowardly about a Muslim being willing to die in the act of killing his enemies, which according to the Koran is the holiest act a Muslim can perform. The recourse to the word "cowardly" is another symptom of liberalism. Liberal politicians don't want to call the perpetrators of these crimes "enemies" or "evil," since liberalism prohibits the recognition of the existence of enemies and evil. So they call them "cowardly," which makes the speaker sound tough and determined, when in fact he is only being absurd.
One of the most characteristic things about liberalism is the moral poverty it inflicts on those who follow it.
* * *
Calling a terrorist act a "reminder" is similar to saying that people are "shocked" by its occurrence—liberals, as I've often noted, are constantly being "shocked" by a reality they refuse to recognize. Both phrases suggest that people don't really believe that terrorism exists, so they require the "reminder" to "shock" them back into the realization that it does. The subtext is: this event forces us once again (for the nth time) to think about this problem that we don't want to think about, or rather it forces us to declare how important it is for us to think about this problem that we don't want to think about.
By contrast, a society that actually recognized and was facing the reality of jihadism and terrorism would not speak of a terrorist act as a reminder, because it would already be involved in opposing the jihadists and making war against them. Do you think that when the Japanese sank a U.S. destroyer in the Pacific in 1943, American leaders and journalists said that this was a "reminder" of the fact that we were in a war?"
- end of initial entry -
It isn't courage at all; it's an act of pure evil. Evil is never courageous because its motivation is not human; courage is a human motivation.
HA! Bush was right. Theodore Dalrymple is wrong.
You might as well call the Columbine and Virginia Tech killers brave, as long as "brave" means "acting without regard to ones own life or safety", but it means more than that. Bravery is understood as a virtue stemming from moral strength, and not encompassing actions motivated by depravity or recklessness.
I have thought that "dastardly" is a better word for deeds such as these suicidal attacks, and is really what is meant. It is given as a synonym for "cowardly" in Webster's Collegiate, with the explanation in the synonymy that it "implies behavior that is both cowardly and treacherous or skulking and outrageous".
What is Daylrymple's agenda?
Suicide is not a brave act, except in the effort to save the lives of others (throwing yourself on a grenade).
This act equates to knifing some unexpecting person and then committing suicide.
If it were brave I would say so, but its not.
As I recall, Bill Mahre lost his gig at ABC over this very point.
Its only courageous if you enjoy being alive. Those fanatics could care less about that.
The assassination was an act of cowardice, not of courage.
The courageous person in that situation was Bhutto.
Everything I've read about terrorist killings includes such things as (1) assassin promised 72 virgins AND assassin promised that if he/she fails, his/her family will be annihilated, or, (2) #1 plus the assassin's wrists are handcuffed to the steering wheel of the auto/bomb, or, (3) assassin drugged and driven into a suicidal rage by goofball ragheaded perverters of religion.
None of this sounds heroic or brave to me; it all sounds more like the actions of an ignorant, juvenile coward.
I'm sorry .. this doesn't take courage .. it takes LUNACY!
We went round and round on this after 9/11.
We understandably object to referring to these guys as brave or courageous, since courage is considered a virtue and we dislike assigning any virtue to these guys.
Yet courage is defined as, "The state or quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face danger, fear, or vicissitudes with self-possession, confidence, and resolution; bravery."
Nothing there about the rightness or wrongness of the cause in which courage is employed.
The Waffen SS was one of the most evil organizations in history. Nobody ever realistically denied their courage. The world would be a much less dangerous place if evil men were always cowards.
While there are some senses of the word "courage" that do not apply to these guys, the most common ones certainly do.
suicide bombers are often on drugs.
no courage involved
Agreed. All this form of attack requires is an acceptance that you are already dead. For a man that has nothing left to loose is then free to perform any atrocity, any savagery, any act to support his "cause".
Excellent point.
Courage refers strictly to the attitude with which one faces a challenge. It makes no moral judgments about the challenge itself.
Evil men can be courageous, and good men can be cowards.
This is beyond human comprehension to attibute any possible redeeming social value to assassins and/or homocide bombers! The word assassin speaks for it'self in that it starts with two complete asses and reminds me of this coward loving writer!!!
After writing these dull essays, the old coot probably takes long walks in the woods with his walking stick, pipe and dog, wearing his tweed jacket with leather inserts in the elbows.
I agree Auster makes an excellent point.
If you have something to live for, sacrificing yourself is a courageous act. If you have nothing to live for, or worse, you think you will get something better by dying, then killing yourself is selfish.
Bhutto had blood on her hands and $1.5 Billion dollars in the bank allegedly pilfered from the Pakistanis. Supposedly, the assassin missed and she killed herself while ducking for cover after foolishly exposing herself.
She was no saint, The assassin failed. Karma prevailed.
It ain't courage or bravery, it's indoctrination and brainwashing.
Frankly, I think it's irrelevant and immaterial to the MAX!!!
Hey that's what I want to do when I retire!
Willian may be a brother. ;))
Bhutto had blood on her hands and $1.5 Billion dollars in the bank allegedly pilfered from the Pakistanis. Supposedly, the assassin missed and she killed herself while ducking for cover after foolishly exposing herself.2 points.
She was no saint, The assassin failed. Karma prevailed.
I am there with you man....
Dictionary.com defines courage as:
the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery.
When the tactic is to shoot a person, then press a button and have explosives rip you apart faster than your body can even recognize or register pain .... what courage is in that?
If you want me to believe the assassin had courage. Let him take his shots and then surrender to the crowd/authorities. Taking the bomb option is to specifically avoid pain, suffering, difficulty etc.
We've had worse riots after a bowl games. There is no anarchy. There was no autopsy, and yet you quote a coroner. No one knows what happened, however, she was smiling and waving while standing through the sun roof, so presumably she chose to do it. Hubris killed her one way or another and she was a crook and a daughter of a crook. Good Riddance.
Courage in pursuit of a despicable goal is no virtue, quite the reverse in fact.
That wasn't courage; it was fanaticism.
I often find myself in agreement with Dalrymple, but not here. To my mind, courage can only be manifest in a selfless and virtuous act; courage is a sacrifice, or a potential sacrifice, so that good may vanquish evil. Assassins and suicide bombers, no matter how reckless, no matter how fanatical is their belief in their evil cause, or their eagerness to die for it, can never be courageous. Their goal is only to inflict misery and fear. A zealot who dies for his cause is not courageous because he doesn't care whether he lives or dies. A hero wants to live to see a good cause triumph, but is prepared to die to deny evil a victory.
Incredibly silly arguments.
I'd wager he blew himself up to keep from getting torn to pieces by the crowd.
I agree...when you value life, it is brave to give it up...when you believe that you will receive 72 virgins upon your death, the same act may be lustful, but it isn't brave.
Interesting point to ponder, one that theologians have grappled with for ages...was Jesus' sacrifice courageous given that he was in the unique position of eternal salvation being a certainty without the need for faith?
No disrespect meant by the way - I'm just interested to hear other's take on the nature of Christ's sacrifice.
His soul was not then and is not now, miserable. Sorry to have accidently implied that.
It's an idiotic point of debate.

My Event organizes tasks, budgets and shopping lists, with social sharing.
Amy Dusto
Wedding wear seller David's Bridal Inc. has launched mobile versions of its wedding planner and e-commerce tool, My Event. It includes six features to help brides-to-be organize their budgets, tasks and shopping lists, then share and collaborate on those tasks with their wedding parties through social networks.
The retailer had previously released a desktop version of My Event, which the new tablet-optimized site version mirrors, says Johanna Runyon, director of digital content. The new smartphone-optimized site version, however, is designed with a slightly different layout in order to make the tool function more like an app, even though the consumer is on David Bridal's mobile web site, she says.
My Event is based on research David's Bridal conducted to find the main challenges and fun aspects that brides identified as part of their wedding planning, Runyon says. One of the retailer's surveys in November 2011 revealed that two-thirds of brides cited social media as a current or planned part of their celebrations, she says.
"David's Bridal developed My Event to meet the needs of today's brides who are increasingly looking to social media for inspiration and collaboration in order to create a uniquely personalized wedding celebration," Runyon says. "By providing helpful tools and allowing brides to stay engaged wherever they are, we have successfully turned our mobile sites into a destination, not simply another e-commerce shopping site."
The retailer hired m-commerce technology provider Usablenet Inc. to build the new mobile versions of the tool, she says. She declines to share how much David's Bridal paid for the project. Chris Silva, an analyst at research and advisory firm Altimeter Group, says he regularly sees mobile-only projects like My Events costing in the six-figure range and, because this tool also works across desktop computers, it could be priced higher.
My Event's features include:
David's Bridal is No. 344 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 guide.
Usablenet ranks No. 3 among m-commerce technology vendors in Internet Retailer's 2013 Leading Vendors to the Top 1,000 E-retailers guide.

WILMINGTON -- Americans can act to help those in Africa, along with those in need here, by first deciding specifically how they want to help, former President Bill Clinton told a crowd gathered Monday to discuss trade opportunities in Africa.
The difficulty is that "we live in an interdependent world that is full of possibilities," but one that is "severely constrained by too much inequality," Clinton told the gathering of about 1,200 attending the Opportunity Africa trade conference at the Chase Center on the Riverfront in Wilmington.
"The first thing I want to say to all of you is, you have to do what I made up my mind to do," Clinton said. "Decide what you care about and do it, and don't fail to do it because you can't do everything. You can do something. We can all do something."
Clinton, offering insight into how he chose to serve through his private foundation after leaving the presidency, urged political leaders to act with greater cooperation.
He praised President Barack Obama for continuing work on AIDS relief in Africa and criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin for using Ukraine as "a giant, important piece on a chessboard of international politics."
Clinton waded into the crisis in Ukraine. "The people underneath get lost," when leaders use the country's fortunes as a political pawn, he said.
"It's a crazy way to approach the 21st century," he said. "The only thing that works is creative cooperation."
The former president offered praise for protesters in Ukraine, saying they "stormed" the presidential palace but did not steal or loot. "They just wanted people to see the excess," Clinton said.
But he focused much of his 40-minute speech on his Clinton Foundation's efforts in Africa and on the need to share economic prosperity broadly.
"That is very important to remember right now about people who feel desperate not only in Africa, but the United States," Clinton said. "People need something to look forward to when they get up in the morning."
U.S. Sen. Chris Coons, a Delaware Democrat who leads a Senate subcommittee on African affairs, hosted the third annual Africa conference.
Former President Bill Clinton delivered the keynote address at the third annual Opportunity: Africa conference Monday, empowering Delawareans to support efforts to help the diverse continent. (3/10/14)
"Africa is at a real crossroads with enormous opportunities for the future but real challenges that may constrain its potential," Coons said during opening remarks, citing a lack of infrastructure, human rights challenges and security concerns in North Africa.
During his speech, Clinton offered examples of work the Clinton Foundation is doing in Africa to improve health care access and economic opportunity, including a project underway to train health care workers in Rwanda with the goal of standing up a self-sustained health care system by 2020.
"Hundreds of Americans are going to Rwanda to retrain the workforce according to a plan they approved, not us," Clinton said.
He also talked about a foundation project in Malawi that subsidizes the purchase of higher-quality seed and fertilizer and uses anchor farms of 100-200 acres to teach local farmers skills to improve production and boost incomes.
"We need to seriously look at in America what we can do to dramatically increase food production in South Africa, without throwing the small farmers off the land," Clinton said.
Clinton used the story of Nelson Mandela, the former South African president and anti-apartheid leader, to urge political leaders to act with greater cooperation.
"Somehow, in 27 years of prison and being physically and emotionally abused, never seeing his kids grow up ... he still came out of it understanding, whether we like it or not, we need each other," Clinton said.
"Any place you see that is being dominated by a conflict model is not doing it very well," he said. "Any place that is being dominated by vigorous, vibrant, sometimes screaming debates, but if they end in an effort of creative collaboration, they're doing it pretty well."
Clinton opened his remarks with humor, saying he feels at home in Delaware. Like Arkansas, his home state, Clinton said, "you've got more chickens than people."
On Delaware politics, he said the state is "small enough where people know each other, where they can have differences and argument and still actually come to a conclusion, which is actually quite important."
For Delaware politicians, and some vying for statewide office, Clinton's appearance served as an opportunity to glad-hand.
Brenda Mayrack, the Democratic opponent to Republican Auditor Tom Wagner, worked the room before Clinton's remarks. As did Sean Barney, the Democrat who has filed to challenge state Treasurer Chip Flowers in the September primary election.
Among the elected officials in attendance were Gov. Jack Markell, U.S. Rep. John Carney and Wilmington state Sen. Harris McDowell, all Democrats.

Ship Weight:0.95 Flavor:Potato & Duck Natural Balance Pet Foods L.I.T. Limited Ingredient Treats For Dogs Potato & Duck 14 oz. (397 g) Natural Balance L.I.T. Limited Ingredient Treats For Dogs Potato & Duck by Dick Van Patten, are designed for dogs with sensitivities to common ingredients. Limiting the number of ingredients offers a unique alternative for dogs with special dietary needs. L.I.T. Treats are scientifically formulated to provide high-quality nutrition and help maintain skin and coat for all breeds and life stages of dogs. Premium quality ingredients, including potatoes and duck, provide the nutrients your dog needs to lead a healthy, naturally balanced lifestyle. L.I.T. Treats are grain free, containing no corn, soy, or wheat, and have no artificial colors or flavors. Easily digestible, these are a crunchy, nutritious treat your dog can't resist! What do you mean when you say your foods are 'naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, source of Vitamin E'? Vitamin E (tocopherols) is actually a family of compounds, and based on their chemical structure they are known as alpha, beta, delpha, and gamma Vitamin E. Vitamin E can not be produced by humans, cats, dogs, etc. thus it must come from dietary sources. The term "mixed tocopherols" indicates that all of the essential components of the Vitamin E group are present. Without all of them, the health of the animal would be in great danger, and many nutritionally caused deficiencies would be apparent in a relative short time. Why do you use Canola Oil in your Pet Foods? Canola Oil is a Monounsaturated fat that has been marketed in the United States since 1986, and has been proven to have great health benefits. As a matter of fact, Canola Oil has received two awards: the "Product of Acceptance Award" from the American College of Nutrition, and the "Health Product of the Year Award" from the American Health Foundation. There are a number of essential fatty acids (i.e., they cannot be manufactured in the body and must be part of the dietary intake), which include Linoleic acid (Omega-6) and Linolenic acid (Omega 3). Dietary sources for Omega-6 include soybean, safflower, and corn oils; dietary sources for Omega-3 can be found in flaxseed, soybean, canola oil, and certain types of fish. Scientific reports correlate that increased amounts of Omega-3 in the diet can result in the following benefits: reduced cardiovascular disease, reduced cancer risk, and lower levels of cholesterol. Misinformation about Canola Oil: The "issue" about possible toxic effects of canola oil originally appeared on the Internet, and is now known as an official Urban Legend. The confusion stems from the fact that the "wild" rapeseed (new term now accepted as Canola) contains the fatty acid called erucic acid. Erucic acid has been reported to increase the risk of heart disease in mice (no human studies were published). However, the cultured rapeseed does not contain erucic acid, and all canola oil commercially available has been manufactured from this domestic variety. Dick Van Patten and his partners started Natural Balance Pet Foods in 1989 with the intention of developing the finest, healthiest pet food on the market. They wanted a pet food based on sound scientific principles and truth, not marketing hype. They did it! Not only for dogs & cats, but for large carnivores, such as lions, tigers, polar bears, and wolves in zoos and animal reserves worldwide! Natural Balance Pet Food is the finest food you can buy for your pet, and no matter which product you use, you can be assured that it is truly The Food For a Lifetime. They offer Natural Balance Original Ultra Ultra Premium Dog and Cat Foods, L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets Allergy Dog and Cat Formulas and Vegetarian and Organic Formulas for Dogs!

I have very frizzy, coarse dry hair. I tried many different brands in the past, nothing seems works well for a long time. I keep searching for the right one. I am glad that I find this brand.Jul 25, 2011VincyHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Love ItI have a lot of fine hair that normalily falls flat. The seaweed conditioner by B&B conditions my hair so that it is soft and mangable with out weighting it down. It seems to me that you do not have to use as much as with other conditioners, which balances out the price. I am half way done with my first bottle and it has been 4 months. The smell wasn't my favorite at first, but now it is refreshing.Jan 11, 2011KalenHAIR TYPEBlonde / Fine or Thin Hair

Excellent ProductI keep coming back to this conditioner, again and again. It is the only one I can use on my fine hair and somewhat oily scalp, that does not cause me to break out along my hairline. It leaves my hair tangle free, easy to style, lovely and shiny, and - so important to me, it does not make my forehead break out. That is a problem I have with almost everything else I have ever tried. When I try to save money by getting something cheaper at the drugstore, I end up tossing it out and going back to this. I will probably never try anything else again! BTW, I love the smell. It is not perfume-y, it's more of a natural, beachy scent, and very very light.Sep 7, 2009Ann / FL, USA

Tremendous Conditioner!SEAWEED CONDITIONER IS ABSOLUTELY DEPENDABLE FOR GIVING YOU TANGLE FREE COMB OUTS AFTER SHAMPOOING WHILE LEAVING YOUR HAIR SILKY SOFT AND NOT ONE BIT GREASY-FEELING. IT IS GENTLE AND MILD, THE FRAGRANCE IS LIGHT-TO ALMOST NOT NOTICEABLE. YOU NEED ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT FOR EVEN LONG HAIR, ( ABOUT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER OR LESS IN YOUR PALM) SO IT IS REALLY QUITE ECONOMICAL EVEN THOUGH THE INITIAL PRICE IS HIGHER THAN YOUR AVERAGE DRUGSTORE BRANDS LIKE PANTENE. I TRIED B&B AT A FRIENDS SUGGESTION, BUT WAS SKEPTICAL. AFTER ONE APPLICATION OF THE SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER I BECAME A BELIEVER & I WILL NEVER SWITCH. IT IS WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR HAIR.Aug 15, 2009Deb Kajer / Amery WIHAIR TYPELong Hair

Good Product, But.....After using this product for the first time, my hair felt different. It felt lighter, and slightly softer. The downside is the smell. I could barely stand the smell of this product (more so the shampoo), this has a sort of mint smell to it. Dont get me wrong, its a good product more like a 4 star, but the smell and cost brought it down to a 3 star in my book. You can get a product that gives similar results much cheaper.Aug 13, 2008Cory / Clarksville, TN

Deadman Wonderland by Jinsei Kataoka & Kazuma Kondou
Summary from Wikipedia:
Ten years have passed since the 'Great Tokyo Earthquake', a massive natural distaster that sank over 70 percent of Tokyo into the ocean. Ganta Igarashi is an unassuming 14-year old middle school student in Nagano Prefecture. Ganta is an 'escapee', a Tokyo survivor of the earthquake, but he has no memories of the disaster and simply wishes to play soccer and live a normal life. All that changes one day when a mysterious man covered in blood appears outside his classroom window. The 'Red Man' slaughters Ganta's classmates, but strangely leaves him alive after imbedding a crimson crystal in his chest. Ganta's life goes from bad to worse when he is blamed for the grisly murders and sentenced to life imprisonment in 'Deadman Wonderland'.
Deadman Wonderland is Japan's only privately operated prison, built after the earthquake as a tourist attraction to help revive Tokyo. The prisoners serve as staff and 'entertainment' for visitors. Due to the heinous nature of Ganta's crime, he is given DW's 'death sentence'. A metal collar placed around his neck slowly injects poison into his body. The only way to delay his 'execution' is by consuming a special candy-like antidote every three days. Shortly after arriving at the prison, Ganta meets a mysterious girl named Shiro, who seems to know Ganta from the past. He also befriends a prisoner named Yoh, a kleptomaniac with a talent for locating things.________________________________________________
First of all, let me first off-topic-ly say that congratulations to Blud and all the other original founders of Bludshock Scans for what a marvelous site Mangashare has turned out to be. xD Although I wasn't exactly a key member in the beginning, I'm guessing I was pretty close to when Mangashare first started, but nevertheless, great job and I hope to see more in the future.
(A mod can willingly see fit to destroy this thread now. No one likes a suck-up, right? xD)
Anyways, my actual purpose here was to start a thread on the featured manga Deadman's Wonderland.
...Being that there's only one volume out so far, I guess there isn't much to discuss, huh? xD
But I guess if only to create conversation, what are some people's thoughts and predictions? I know it's drawn and authored by the same people who are in charge of the Eureka Seven manga, so I'm assuming that's a pretty good base. The beginning seemed to play out pretty well; the whole uncontrollable-tragedy-for-whom-the-lead-character-is-blamed isn't quite original, but throw in special powers, a seemingly naked girl to tag along, a guy covered in blood-spattered armor, it doesn't seem to make anything original. xD
As I'm sure you all are exiting this thread as I type, I suppose any other prospect fans are welcome to throw in their two cents.

Ireland have built a healthy lead at the top of the Six Nations standings thanks to a 46-7 victory over Italy at Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
Ireland have built a healthy lead at the top of the Six Nations standings thanks to a 46-7 victory over Italy at Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
In Brian O'Driscoll's final Test on home soil, the men in green outscored their visitors seven tries to one to further bolster their points difference ahead on next weekend's trip to Paris.
A brace from Jonny Sexton, combined with tries from Cian Healy, Sean Cronin, Fergus McFadden and Jack McGrath saw a focused Ireland overcome a robust Italian side on an emotional day for Irish rugby.
The visitors had given Ireland an early scare with an excellent try by wing Leonardo Sarto, converted by Luciano Orquera, but were unable to spoil the Irish party.
O'Driscoll was phenomenal in his final home game, and gave Irish fans a reminder of the sublime skill they'll miss next season. But his team-mates deserve immense credit for giving the icon the Dublin send off he deserves.
Ireland made the livelier start, holding onto the ball through several phases. The host showed an admirable intent to move the ball early on.
The hosts dominated possession in the opening five minutes, but the Azzurri defence was pretty resolute. The man of the moment ignited proceedings on six minutes when a lovely wrap around from O'Driscoll to Sexton carved open the Italian defence for the Irish fly-half to touch down. Sexton converted to make it 7-0.
The visitors responded well, though, with Orquera orchestrating some good handling in midfield. The men in blue were finding some holes in Ireland's much vaunted defence. Tito Tebaldi was also finding some space for his outside backs from the scrum-half channel.
The hosts regrouped, however, and gained some continuity in their opponents' half, but were undone by basic errors. Ireland's cause was also not helped when Conor Murray was forced to exit the field on 16 minutes.
There was a feeling that Ireland were the superior side, but they just couldn't break down the tenacious visitors. And the Azzurri got a thoroughly deserved reward on 24 minutes when Sarto scored a well-taken try having evaded Rob Kearney's desperate covering tackle. Oquera converted to equalise the score at 7-7.
But Sexton restored Ireland's lead on 31 minutes to settle his side's nerves. It was the least the hosts deserved following a period of concerted pressure. But again Luke McLean was finding unexpected holes in Ireland's defensive line.
It was their great centre that initiated Ireland's breakthrough on 36 minutes when a superb pass put Trimble away in the corner. Sexton duly added the extras to make it 17-7 to the Emerald Isle.
Although the game had become quite unstructured at times, by half time Ireland were starting to achieve some ascendancy over their stubborn opponents.
The second half began with Ireland clearly determined to break the shackles. A fracas on 47 minutes involving captains Paul O'Connell and Marco Bortolami demonstrated the way in which the physicality on display from both sides was always threatening to spill over. In the first five minutes of the half, the hosts were essentially camped in the Italian half.
And prop Healy deservedly got over the whitewash for the men in green on 52 minutes when Eoin Reddan tapped and went from a five-metre penalty. Once the ball went to ground, Healy picked up, and crashed over the line. It was to be the loosehead's final act of the match. Sexton missed the conversion, however.
The game began to loosen up thereafter, with Ireland's backs finding some welcome space. The brilliant O'Driscoll was undoubtedly at the centre of everything his team did well, and it was his pass that fed Rob Kearney, who in turn put Sexton over for his second try on 59 minutes. The Irish ten missed another conversion to leave it 27-7.
The ovation was completely deafening when O'Driscoll left the field on 62 minutes, his job having been superbly done. Substitute hooker Sean Cronin added to the home tally on 68 minutes when he barged over in the left hand corner. Replacement Paddy Jackson converted to make it 34-7.
Italy tried to regain a foothold in the game, but lacked the incision to threaten the Irish defence.
Fergus McFadden got in on the act on 77 minutes, when he sliced through the Azzurri midfield to score with adding the extras.
And an evocative occasion was rounded off appropriately, when replacement prop Jack McGrath crashed off for his first try for his country to complete the rout.
Following a resonant day for Irish sport, Ireland and O'Driscoll head to Paris for a tilt at the championship. On this form, anything is possible.
Man of the Match: Who else? His former Leinster teammate Sexton pushed him close, but Brian O'Driscoll was simply outstanding on his final Irish outing at the Aviva Stadium. His passing was sublime, while the centre's work-rate was the equal of anyone else on the pitch. Brilliant performance.
Moment of the Match: O'Driscoll's lovely switch with Sexton to set up the fly-half's opening try exemplifies everything that defines the great centre's brilliance. It could have been a score from ten years ago, as O'Driscoll's creativity and intelligence unlocked a Six Nations defence.
Villain of the Match: No villains as both sides gave their all in a compelling contest.

I can speak, write and read fluently: English and Tagalog. I can speak and understand but not hold a lengthy conversation: Hiligaynon/Ilonggo. I can read, have a small vocabulary and poor grammar, and can understand simple conversations of Japanese and Spanish. Very very limited vocabulary in Mandarin.
That's all, I guess. The only languages I ever wanted to "collect" were programming languages, and found it a surprise I know a bit more than the staple of English and Tagalog.

As Asheville has emerged as a premier food destination, it's become more difficult for new venues to find the space to cut out of the market. This makes opening a restaurant even more risky than normal. The competition is fierce out there.
Into the ring comes a brash new contender, Seven Sows, a collaborative effort between chef Adam Bannasch of Zambra, chef Mike Moore of Blind Pig Supper club and Jason Caughman of Pisgah Brewery. Seven Sows celebrates southern cooking and serves dinner and weekend brunches that feature local and heirloom products and a bar that focuses on bourbon.
We ventured out with friends to investigate this new eatery during its opening week. There were several birthdays around the table and I have to say that some members of the party were giddy with anticipation.
Through the doors, we found the décor rustic, nothing fancy – but definitely down home and welcoming. Authentic barn siding here. Tin roof there. A wall painting of a lady holding a ham. Nothing pretentious – you are here to eat, or drink, or both. No hoity-toity here – just good food and drink.
And the menu – what fun! But, I get ahead of myself. Drinks first. It would be safe to say one of the better selections of Bourbon and Rye in the area. Actually, the selection of Whiskey, Irish Whiskey, Scotch, Brandy, Rum, Gin, Vodka, Tequila and Apertif's are all top of the line. My husband chose the "Larceny" – for its name and he was rewarded by the butterscotch aroma and smooth, smoky flavor that warmed its path. Half of the party selected a bourbon of personal fancy (no easy choice given the list) and the other half chose grapes (of the fermented variety). Both halves were pleased with the selection and their decisions. Being a Bourbon enthusiast my husband could not resist following up the "Larceny" with a signature cocktail, a Buffala Negra (W. L. Weller 12 Yr Bourbon, Fresh Basil, Aged Balsamic, Fever Tree Ginger Ale, Simple Syrup concoction) that shoots up the charts as one of Asheville's top elixirs.
For appetizers and to get into the theme, we sampled: Shaved Country Ham Board with selections of Benton's Tennessee Month and Mangalitsa and Colonel Newsom's Aged Kentucky ham. Pickled vegetable, grilled bread mustards, Texas Pete Mayo, and Sweetgrass Dairy Appalachian Cheese.
And Cone O' Chicken Cracklins and the Buttermilk Hushpuppy Basket (with hot pimento cheese). We turned our gazes on to the entrees. Not one of our self-described "foodies" was adventurous enough to try the Pig Head Meatloaf with apple chutney, pickled mustard seeds, Southern Appalachia Sorghum, crispy pig ear and grilled bread, but maybe next time and after a few more bourbons.
We did have and enjoy the Mountain Goat with Brunswick Stew (and cornbread). No self-respecting southern kitchen could hang its sign if there were no fried chicken wasn't coming out of it. No offense Gramma, but this buttermilk fried chicken with crawfish mac and cheese and giblet and egg gravy — oh my.
And more items you would not expect on a "new Asheville" menu. The Laughing Seed (a very popular vegetarian restaurant here in Asheville) is not laughing at this lineup of southern fare. Beeler's Farm grilled Duroc Pork Chop, Quail, Foothills Braised Pork Shank and Dry Aged Cab Ribeye to name a few.
Given the birthday celebrations, we ordered one of each of the desserts, sampled and passed them around the table — partaking in Crème Brulèe, Blueberry Buckle, Butterscotch pudding and a sweet Fudge sauce, marshmallow, Cheerwine Syrup treatment that elevated the traditional Train City's Moon Pie. I was surprised not to see any banana pudding, but not a complaint was heard and none of these particular decadent treats made it around the table twice.
Side Historical Note: The south's favorite snack food, the Moon Pie originated in 1917. During the 1930's, the Moon Pie found its place in Southern folklore as part of the "working man's lunch." Coal miners and laborers would enjoy the biggest snack on the rack, a Moon Pie and a 10 ounce RC Cola each for a nickel.
This is fine southern cooking treated with creativity and respect. I don't remember Mama serving up any such fixins.' A great place to visit before you head out on your dirt track date or go to see a show.
Here at Pinecrest Bed and Breakfast we'd be happy to secure you a dinner reservation during your visit to this Asheville Inn. Please call our toll free 888-811-3053 or visit our website at www.pinecrestbb.com

The industrial sector led the market higher last week and Moneyshow's Tom Aspray has found two stocks in this sector that have completed major bottom formations making them likely market leaders in 2013.
Stocks managed minor gains Monday, and while the market internals were positive, they were not impressive. The NYSE Advance/Decline has continued to improve and is now very close to making new highs. A strong move to new highs in the A/D line would signal a much sharper rally.
Stocks are higher early Tuesday as the S&P futures are close to the key resistance at the December 3 highs. A strong close above these highs would set the stage for a test of the year's high at 1474.51 in the S&P 500 or $148.11 in the Spyder Trust (SPY). The beaten down PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ), which tracks the Nasdaq 100, is unlikely to come close to its September high of $70.58.
In yesterday's column, Best Sector Bets for the New Year, I discussed the four sectors that were outperforming the S&P 500 and looked the strongest technically. The industrials sector as represented by the Select Sector SPDR Industrials (XLI) became a market leading sector last week.
One market leading group that is part of the industrial sector is the S&P Construction & Engineering Index. It was up 1.6% Monday versus a small 0.2% gain in the SPY. Two stocks in this group appear to have completed long-term bottom formations, which gives them excellent upside potential.
Chart Analysis: The weekly chart of the S&P Construction & Engineering Index tested the support in the 207 area in mid-November and closed strong last week.
- There is next resistance at the September high of 235.
- A close above the major resistance at 240, line a, will complete a major bottom with the first target at 260, which was the early 2011 high.
- This industry group index had a high of 430 in 2008.
- The relative performance broke through its downtrend, line c, in September before pulling back to support.
- The RS line shows a positive uptrend, line d, and a move above the September high will confirm the major bottom.
- The weekly OBV has moved back above its WMA but is still below major resistance at line e.
- The daily technical studies (not shown) look very positive as it was up sharply on Monday
Granite Construction Inc. (GVA) is a $1.22 billion heavy construction company that provides civil contracting and provides construction materials. It has a current yield of 2.3%.
- The weekly chart shows that it closed last Friday just above resistance at line f.
- This completes a long-term reverse head and shoulder bottom formation as the LS (left shoulder) was formed in the middle of 2010.
- The upside target from this formation is in the $44-$46 area.
- The RS line closed last week above resistance at line g, and the move above the early 2012 high completes a major bottom.
- The weekly OBV has been very strong as indicated by its uptrend, line i. It closed last week at three year highs.
- The volume pattern (blue line) is consistent with the chart formation as volume peaked as the LS was being formed and has since formed lower highs.
- There is first support at $30.30-$30.80 and then in the $29.50 area. Stops on new longs should be under the late November low at $28.65.

"This is a beautiful shoe, though perhaps slightly pricey given how simple the design is. The only problem is that my usual size was too tight in this one."

I have been reading through a couple of threads and discovered that many people on this forum are harboring dark and evil thoughts about different characters and natural laws in the "narutoverse". And i for one think that going in to threads discussing who has the coolest hair or what really happened in the latest chapter, just to find comments like "Sasuke is EMO" or "Its impossible for frogs to grow to that size!!!" is very annoying.
But now all of you can complain to your hearts contempt here. Hopefully this will result in making other threads more serious so people like me (fat virgins with glasses the size of small windows) can discuss our manga in peace.

Gadgets are essentially mini-webpages that are customizable and show only the essential information. But sometimes you want to see the whole homepage of Google News or Gmail inside iGoogle.
Google accepted the challenge and developed gadgets for some its services. The Google News gadget displays news from the most important sections inside tabs.
There's also a gadget for YouTube that shows videos from sections like "most viewed today", "most discussed today" or "recently featured" and allows it to play the videos inside the gadget.
Another gadget lets you browse Google's directory of gadgets and preview them without opening a new page. It's cool that you can preview more than one gadget at the same time, so you can use it to compare similar gadgets.
It will be interesting to see if Google builds mini versions for other services that go beyond showing a bunch of links. For example, the Gmail gadget could let you preview your messages, reply to a mail inside the gadget or show the recent messages for each of your labels.

Edinburgh coach Michael Bradley has kept faith in the bulk of his young side for their Pro12 return to Wales to face Scarlets on Friday.
Edinburgh coach Michael Bradley has kept faith in the bulk of his young side for their Pro12 return to Wales to face Scarlets on Friday.
The inclusion of Ben Cairns at outside centre in place of the suspended Nick De Luca is the only change to the back division. In the pack, the release of David Denton from Scotland's Six Nations squad sees him back at number eight.
Prop Allan Jacobsen gets his first start at loosehead since January while hooker Steven Lawrie – a late withdrawal last weekend – has been passed fit to start the match.
Scarlets edged the last meeting at Murrayfield (29-28) with 23 points from 20-year-old pivot Harry Leonard keeping the hosts in contention up to the death.
"It's clear we're in desperate need of a win and the players have worked exceptionally hard, in some very vocal and physical training sessions, as we prepare mentally and physically to front up to one of the top teams in the division in their own back yard," said Bradley.
"The players are well aware that the performances haven't been up to scratch this season but I've been impressed by their resolve, their commitment and attention to detail in how they can improve and rally together."
Form: Scarlets' three game winning run in all competitions ended with their 5-32 reversal in Leinster on Saturday. The Welshmen have won their last three fixtures at Parc y Scarlets since Clermont Auvergne won there, 29-0, in the European Cup on 19 January. Scarlets have won their last four home games against Scottish visitors. Edinburgh have slipped to ten successive defeats in all tournaments – their worst run in the professional era. Edinburgh's only win on their last 14 visits to Wales in all competitions since December 2009 was 21-19 over Cardiff Blues at the Arms Park in the RaboDirect PRO12 on 7 September 2012. Scarlets have taken four of their last five encounters with Edinburgh, whilst the Scotsmen's only previous victory at Parc y Scarlets was 17-16 in the PRO12 on 4 December 2009.
The teams:
Scarlets: tbc
Edinburgh: 15 Greig Tonks, 14 Dougie Fife, 13 Ben Cairns, 12 Ben Atiga, 11 Lee Jones, 10 Harry Leonard, 9 Richie Rees, 8 David Denton, 7 Hamish Watson, 6 Stuart McInally, 5 Sean Cox (c), 4 Perry Parker, 3 Willem Nel, 2 Steven Lawrie, 1 Allan Jacobsen.
Replacements: 16 Andy Titterrell, 17 John Yapp, 18 Alex Allan, 19 Robert McAlpine, 20 Netani Talei, 21 Chris Leck, 22 Piers Francis, 23 Tom Brown.
Date: Friday 1 March
Venue: Parc y Scarlets
Kick-off: 19:05 GMT
Referee: tba (Italy)

By DORIS MANGUMEmery
Dear Editor,
I am fast approaching a very "big" birthday and even though I can't bring myself to say the number, I will admit that I will be in my late, late, late 40s. You can imagine for yourself how "late" when you consider I have five children who are also in their 40s�they have a bad habit of catching up with you don't they?
While I have been in denial, wondering how I got so old, so fast, I have been reliving my youth and considering all the things kids have now days that we did not have when I was young and I feel very sorry for todays youth.
We had no TV, no CDs with headphones, no computers, no Nintendos, no video games, and no cell phones. Gosh, we only had one phone in town and that was up at Eldred's service station/cafe. All of our fun and recreation depended pretty much on our own imaginations.
Sometimes we did things that were not too smart or safe, but for the most part we stayed out of trouble and had a lot of fun.
I feel sorry for kids who have never been on a chicken/corn roast out at the white bridge. The bridge is now gone and so are most of the chickens in town. I feel sorry for kids who have never gathered together to make honey candy and play cards, or sing with a phonograph or someone playing the guitar.
I feel sorry for kids who have never had a water fight up on Main Street on a hot summer night. I feel sorry for kids who have never gone tubing down the canal or swimming out at the adobe mixer. I feel sorry for boys who have never worn holes in the knees of his new school overalls playing marbles or girls who have never played jacks or jump the rope or hopscotch.
I feel sorry for kids who have never played neighborhood night games�hide and seek, kick the can, run my sheep run, etc. I even feel sorry for kids who have never had to herd the milk cows out to the pasture every morning in the summer and go and fetch them in the afternoon.
I feel sorry for kids who missed out on those Saturday night dances where we actually learned to dance the waltz, the fox trot, the two step and the jitter bug.
I miss walking (yes, I said walking) up to the post office every morning at 10 a.m. where everyone in town gathered to catch up on the latest gossip and mail their letters before the mail truck left at noon. I feel sorry for the kids who never met their friends at Eldred's just to have a Coca-Cola and a candy bar and decide what to do next.
We lived through the worst of times�a devastating world war that took many of our young people, but we also lived through the best of times, relatively free of the stress and temptations that our young kids face today. Life was full of fun and excitement and how much of it we grabbed was strictly up to us and our imagination.
