A Senate panel on April 22 killed legislation that attempted to set a blood standard for being too stoned to drive.
But lawmakers may still have an opportunity to put a driving-stoned limit on the books this legislative session.
House Minority Leader Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, told Colorado Community Media that the House will will still try to get a standard through that deals with driving while under the influence of marijuana.
That effort will come in the form of an amendment to one of the bills dealing with the regulation of Amendment 64.
"It will fit into one of those bills," Waller said. "The best way to do it would have been through legislation."
But that route is not possible now, after the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 4-1 against moving House Bill 1114 forward, a bill that Waller sponsored in the House.
The bill would have limited drivers to five nanograms per milliliter of blood for THC, marijuana's psychoactive ingredient.
But committee members expressed a number of concerns, such as that the law might unfairly affect medical marijuana patients and whether the standard would lead to police enforcement issues over blood sampling.
"I take it very seriously for people to drive impaired," said Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, who voted against the bill. "I also take it very seriously for the government to prosecute people who aren't impaired."
Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction, the bill's senate sponsor, was the only committee member to vote for the legislation.
The bill had momentum going into the committee hearing. For starters, this year's bill would have set a less stricter stoned-driving standard than in year's past. And it breezed through the House on a 57-6 vote.
"We didn't see this coming at all," Waller said of the bill's demise in committee. "After talking with Senate leadership, I was under the impression it would pass."
The House minority leader said he was "incredibly disappointed" that the legislation did not pass, especially since the bill had been "watered-down in such a way to make it more palatable for everyone involved."
Now the plan is for the stoned-driving standard to be included in one of the omnibus bills that deal the regulation of Amendment 64 – the voter-approved measure that legalizes recreational marijuana use in Colorado. The legislature must pass Amendment 64 regulations this session, or it will be up to the Department of Revenue to put its own rules in place.
Waller said the Amendment 64 Task Force would have dealt with this issue originally, but it was determined that the standard was better dealt with through its own legislation.
The first committee hearing dealing with one of the Amendment 64 bills is scheduled for April 24. Waller did not know which bill the stoned-driving amendment would be tacked on to, but said that it wouldn't be difficult for it to be worked on in a day, in time for that hearing.
Waller also said that if an amendment does get through the House, and that if it is somehow stripped during the legislative process, that he "is confident that a senator would be willing to bring (an amendment to the bill in that chamber)."
If a stoned-driving standard does not prevail through an amendment, it would mark the fourth time that an effort of its kind has failed in the General Assembly.

Good morning
Good morning little sister. I'm doing okay. Just a bit of problem with my IBS so I'm taking some of my pain pills. No big deal, it's something I've had since I was a little girl. I'm just going to make an appointment and have him set up a time with the accupuncturist. In the meantime I just keep going. But it's Friday!!!! Yeah!!! I'll be busy this weekend but won't have to get up at 4am
God bless and God willing, I'll be here!
Storm over. Looks like the rainy season has begun which means the hurricane season is not far behind! God bless, sister!
We all have days like that! It's good to have you for a sister! Lots of hugs! I better get off the computer as there is a storm outside!

Good morning, sister. Hope everything is well with you today.
You have a cute daughter and cute dog.
Thanks for the invite.Nice to meet you.
Talk to you tomorrow!!!
Have you tried posting your resume on monster.com? Once you go there, you'll see other websites that you can post on and look for jobs available. The job situation here in California is pretty bad. So is the rest of the economy and I don't foresee it getting any better anytime soon.
Listen little sister, I'm going to sign off. It's almost time for me to close up my office and go to the gym for my workout. Don't get discouraged. You're in my prayers and something will come up. okay? Lots of hugzzzzzzz! Love ya!!!
I'm back now. Felt like I could walk another few miles! LOL. I think that the 2 hr workout after work is going to accomplish more than the walk did.
Hey Sweetie, I'll be going to lunch in a few minutes. Not to eat, already had cake and fruit at the Change Of Command reception but to walk off the extra calories I just put on! LOL! I'll walk around the base and hope I can leave them behind.
Thanks for the tag little sister! Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Of all the adjustments Capel Henshaw had to make, dressing for northern Illinois temperatures, takes the cake.
Since moving to Romeovillle, 40 minutes from downtown Chicago, Henshaw has withstood the culture shock and says he's settling in quite nicely at Lewis University.
"There's obviously an adjustment period," Henshaw said Monday. "The climate is a lot different, it's a different culture and a different style of living. There's definitely more traffic here than Harrisburg."
For the most part, Henshaw is getting around okay.
Even more so, the former Harrisburg High School star who helped lead Harrisburg to a Class 2A title this past March, is basking in the glow of being a one-sport athlete.
"That's definitely the biggest change," Henshaw admitted.
A year ago, Henshaw and the Bulldogs made the Class 4A semifinals in football, before losing to eventual state champion Rochester.
That was a Saturday. On Sunday, Henshaw was in the gym getting ready for basketball.
"Not having to prepare for different sports and get your body ready for those sports is a little different and in some ways I miss it and other ways I don't." Henshaw said. "I'm playing basketball every day and the one thing I am learning is that the college game is a lot more physical."
It's also faster and Henshaw added everything he has to do now is 1 step quicker.
"It took some time and adjusting too," Henshaw said. "I would say the first few weeks of practice I really found out quickly what my strengths and weaknesses were."
Henshaw and the Flyers kicked off the season October 29 in a five-point loss to DePaul, who plays in the Big East Conference, but did follow it up with the newest member of the Missouri Valley Conference, knocking off Loyola University 82-70 Saturday.
Both games were exhibition for the Flyers, but for Henshaw they proved to be a whole lot more.
In both games, Henshaw saw nine minutes of action. He had a rebound, a foul and two steals giants the Blue Demons, while scoring the first points of his athletic career in the win over Loyola.
Henshaw was 2-of-2 from the field, including 1-of-1 from beyond the arc for five points.
Scoring those first few points where a big weight lifted off Henshaw's shoulders.
"Coach (Scott) Trost has told me one of my roles coming in off the bench is to knock down the open shot, so being able to come in and actually do it was a big relief. I was more nervous for the DePaul game, but I was able to work those nerves out for Loyola and I was able to play without working about the little things."
The bigger picture for Henshaw is his education where he's majoring in athletic training.
Page 2 of 2 - "I'm getting a great education and meeting new people, developing some new friendships. I'm a part of a great team and playing for some good coaches."
Henshaw and Lewis have one more exhibition game, Wednesday, when they Flyers travel to Evanston to take on Big Ten opponent Northwestern.
The regular season begins on Nov. 11 against Olivet Nazarene in Romeoville.

Very flattering.
"The only problem I had was that the back of the shoe hit the back of my heel/ankle in the wrong spot and wasn't comfortable -I returned the shoes, however I'm tempted to buy them again and have a shoe maker put a cushion under the lining of the heel to lift my foot higher into the back of the shoe."

Peter Sokolowski sent along this delightful clip of Oscar Peterson with Dick Cavett earlier today. Click here and enjoy Oscar demonstrating for Dick Cavett a range of "stylistic trademarks" that'll quickly enhance your appreciation of Art Tatum, Errol Garner, and Nat King Cole. Cavett even coaxes a vocal from Peterson, who's reluctant to name the singer he sounds like, but by the time he intones "this has been" in the opening line of "Almost Like Being in Love," you'll recognize his uncanny resemblance to Nat King Cole. Of course, anyone already familiar with Oscar's 1965 memorial album to Cole, With Respect to Nat, will know what's coming before he sings a note.
Peter's e-mail arrived only minutes after I'd finished reading about the pianist David Hazeltine in preparation for tonight's Jazz à la Mode, where I'll play a couple of sets of David's music in recognition of his 53rd birthday. Hazeltine, a Milwaukee native, is a dyed-in-the-wool hard bop stylist who at first glance betrays little evidence of Peterson's influence in his playing. Indeed, he usually cites "Bud Powell through Barry Harris," and the lineage of Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, and Cedar Walton as his chief influences. And he's recorded a few tunes by the late Buddy Montgomery, an overlooked pianist (and Wes's brother) whom David befriended during his formative years in Milwaukee.
Back to Peterson: In the liner notes to Hazeltine's 1997 recording How It Is, he says that he listened to Oscar "for his clean, fluent approach," but when he really dug in he "found a lot more than [he] thought was there." Peterson never lacked for fans, but the critical take on him was often dismissive, "all flash, no feeling." And many pianists, overawed by Peterson's prodigious chops, simply looked the other way. But when one takes the time to listen beyond the technique, Peterson can be a rewarding emotional experience. Herb Ellis, who played guitar in the Peterson Trio throughout the '50s, told Oscar's biographer Gene Lees, "I've never played with anybody who had more depth and feeling in his playing. He can play so hot and deep and earthy that it just shakes you when you're playing with him."
Hazeltine played extensively with another jazz legend of stunning technical renown, the saxophonist Sonny Stitt. He told All About Jazz, "I learned a lot from Sonny. Not just the obvious things, like tunes, and tricky changes, but on a more subtle level I learned the importance of being so much in command of the idiom that you can relax, groove and swing hard." Sounds like the same formula Peterson used so successfully in pursuit of what Lees called Oscar's "will to swing."
After you've watched the Cavett clip, check out this very rare, slightly blurry film of "Pete" with fellow Nat Cole admirer Ray Charles!

Web sales grow 15% in Q4 as the retailer closes stores.
Jon Love
Web sales were the lone bright spot for Build-A-Bear Workshop Inc. in 2012 and the year's fourth quarter. In 2013 the retailer of personalized teddy bears says it plans to close 50-60 retail stores and refocus on brand messaging in its marketing programs while improving user experience. Build-A-Bear is No. 538 in Internet Retailer Second 500 guide.
For the fiscal year ended Dec. 29, Build-A-Bear reported:
"While we are disappointed with our overall results, in the fourth quarter, we increased comparable-store sales in North America, showing a marked improvement from the third quarter," says Maxine Clark, CEO of Build-A-Bear. "This increase was driven by the initial benefit of our brand-building marketing campaigns, particularly in the U.S., and a return to traditional holiday product offerings. The U.K. remained challenging, which drove down our consolidated comparable-store sales."
For the fourth quarter ended Dec. 29, Build-a-Bear reported:

|In response to Re: bath drain pipe reroute
It will work, but it may also siphon the water out of the trap, thus negating the purpose for the trap. It is also an illegal piping connection.
: The trap of my bathtub is below the joist level of my basement. Can I raise it a bit to between the joists? Instead of coming out of the trap into a four foot almost horizontal run...it would form another curve and drop several inches before entering the run. In other words - drop to trap...come up out of trap...turn down again for several inches...then turn into the horizontal run. Will it work?

The Arts! Who Gives a Rats?
Address to the Canberra Business Council Dinner
Thursday 8 November 2001
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I would like to thank Mr Dale Budd for the opportunity to address the Business Council.
I speak tonight about the importance of the arts, and of cultural tourism, and the need for a co-ordinated strategy to make Canberra even more attractive to visitors.
I confess to being a blow-in, but one who has lived happily in Canberra for over four years. I love this city and have made great friends. My family have been very happy here too. I speak as a resident, privileged to be one, and honoured to be Director of the National Gallery of Australia. I take a national and an international view, but have loved being a local here in Canberra. This is the context in which I offer a contribution to the needs of local tourism.
In the wonderful Children's Television Workshop program Sesame Street there is a character called Count von Count. He helps children to learn how to use numbers, but he also provides a satirical comment on one of the great propensities of our age - the insatiable desire to count and measure everything. We live in the Great Age of the Beancounter.
In my introduction to the Annual Report of the National Gallery for 1999-2000, I felt compelled to preface what is a report of statistical commentary, prepared for tabling in Parliament, with the following words:
The need to measure and report on performance is a requirement of all Government agencies. The National Gallery of Australia recognises this responsibility, but emphasises also that the effect of our activities is primarily qualitative rather than quantitative. We seek to confer social benefits on the community. We provide opportunities for personal interaction with works of art and prefer to measure our successes in experiential terms, such as how memorable they are, or how intriguing, innovative, thought-provoking, diverse, traditional, curious, inspiring. The National Gallery offers the experience of engagement with objects and activities focussed on them. When reading this Annual Report, it is useful to keep in mind that the performance reporting regime with which we comply as an organisation tells only one part of the story of our activities.
I quote this paragraph to try to lift the tone of my remarks on why we should all care about the arts, before I have inevitably to detail how much they mean in economic return to our community. I recognise, after all, that in business what is not quantifiable most often does not count. Where profit is shareholder value, the returns are mainly related to how much goes into one's bank account.
Putting a price on something can kill a good idea. Cost and value are not measurable in purely financial terms. Why did three people give $500,000 each to help to buy a painting by David Hockney for the National Gallery? Why did four people collectively give $3.5M towards a painting by Lucian Freud? Why did Dr Orde Poynton leave some $13M to the Gallery to buy international prints? The answer is because we asked them and they wanted to do it. Money follows a good idea. You have got to have ideas.
The arts are indeed different, a special kind of business. I am quite prepared to use the language of business if, in exchange, the language of the arts is understood as a different language with its own grammar and intonation.
The arts are but one part of culture. We can describe culture in many ways, but one of the best is that of an economist, Professor David Throsby of Macquarie University, the author of a brilliant new book called Economics and Culture. Culture, he suggests, is as a set of attitudes, beliefs, customs, values and practices common to or shared by any group. More closely expressed, culture describes those activities undertaken by people, and the product of these activities, which have to do with the intellectual, moral and artistic aspects of human life. Hence we speak of the 'cultural sector of the economy', 'cultural goods', 'cultural institutions'.
The arts are not the same as entertainment, though they can be entertaining. Entertainment includes all of what we do in our spare time. The arts are different. When we buy a product in a shop, we know what to expect. With an artistic event, a work of art, an artistic performance, we are paying for an experience, the effect of which is not quantifiable and may vary from person to person. The arts, thus, produce a special kind of product, an experience.
We live in a world of information, of easy, quick-fix, fact-filled, sound-bite moments. It is a world of instant gratification, an experiential world. This should be a world ripe for imagination. For it is our imagination which can be the true place of thought. We must not polarise the world into the image makers and the thinkers. The best thoughts occur in the imagination. They envisage a place in which we can be vividly alive. Our imagination can help us to explore what has hitherto been mystery.
Australia needs more than anything else, an enterprise culture, one that encourages the imaginative, those who try to make things happen. Australia today tends to penalise failure and vilify the unsuccessful, rather than encouraging them to try again. One of my favourite quotes comes from Somerset Maugham who warned: 'Only a mediocre person is always at his best.'
I have been encouraged by the changed attitude in Canberra today compared to August 1997 when I arrived here. The rise of the private sector, much of it through outsourced government, and the progressive attitudes of the Chief Ministers and other local politicians, and of the public servants and enterprising business people, have propelled a shift to a more can-do focus. But there is much that we can do to improve still further.
The arts are most important for the qualitative reasons I have already addressed, but being responsible for a major institution also gives me a perspective on the approach to tourism and, in particular, to cultural tourism in Canberra. In short, in my view, the Canberra community is not yet serious about tourism.
To be serious as a community is to have a common shared purpose. It is to recognise that reward only comes to those who invest. It costs money, time and effort, a celebration of success, a review of failures, and continuous efforts to try, try again.
We all do not talk together enough about our primary industry, the tourism industry. We do not even recognise adequately how important it is to us. We often here talk of Canberra as the Nation's best kept secret. Do we want it to be a secret? Or do we want it to be a magnet for tourism. Canberra is not a hard sell because the repeat visitation rate to the ACT is especially high at 70%. Canberra residents are also good at enticing visitors, because 40% stay with friends or relatives. I certainly feel a bit like the Irish embassy at times but am delighted that people really do want to visit us!
What are we doing, however, to control development? Is it sustainable? Will current developments have adverse cultural impacts? Are we being sensitive to what it is that makes this city special? Are we looking to medium and long-term gains, as well as short term ones?
How many of us believe and continously say that Canberra will be the great cultural tourism draw of Australia in fifty years time? If you do not believe it, it will not happen. Mass tourism has huge cultural impacts because low-cost, high volume tourism is less concerned about heritage preservation and natural beauty. We must debate this issue more as a community. Do we prefer cultural tourism focussed on the visitor to cultural festivals, cultural sites? Monet & Japan cost $5M, lasted 90 days and brought $28.6M into the local economy, according to the University of Canberra researchers. Let's repeat that - $28.6M. This is serious business.
I suggest we are in the try it and see tourist policy phase. We are trying out big events to see if they can work, whether they can energise the city and respond to the diversity in our community. Let's see what happens to the Car Race over its five years contract. Let's try to make it work. But let's also review what Canberra is doing. It will be surprising if big events are as good value in sustainable tourism terms as all-year round attractions.
We recognised our need at the National Gallery to shift focus when in 1998 we reorganised our approach to big exhibitions. We had traditionally held one or two per year, and they often brought large numbers of visitors to Canberra. By moving to exhibitions for each of the four seasons, we have held many more shows. After a transition year in 1998/99 which saw low visitation, we have had in the last two years the highest ever numbers of visitors to temporary exhibitions in the Gallery's history. We had 329,000 paying visitors to exhibitions last year, up 3% on the previous year. Three quarters of these people were visitors to Canberra. Many stayed overnight, went to restaurants, hired cars, took taxis, bought petrol, went on tours etc. This is also true of thousands of visitors to the other major visitor attractions and to the many smaller ones in Canberra.
Monet & Japan brought two thirds of the Gallery's exhibition visitors to Canberra last year. But the exhibition happened in a degree of isolation from the Canberra business community. People said lovely things about it but I personally did not receive one letter of thanks from local business organisations inviting me to pass on congratulations to our staff for their contribution to the community.
Let's be straight. Wine tourism is a great idea because it is sympathetic to cultural tourism, inviting longer stays by leisurely visitors. Canberra is certainly not boring with its good food, wine, landscape, attractions and people. But it is different, and we should celebrate, even accentuate its difference. If this sounds high-brow, so be it, for face it folks, Canberra is high brow. Most cities are organic in development. This one is so controlled. It must be because we want it to be controlled, to be different, to be special.
Are we serious, however, about helping tourists to negotiate Canberra's road plan? I am notorious for getting lost, and I've lived here for over four years! Is it good enough to say to the visitor who is here for a few days, 'don't worry about the roads, sure it's taken me years to work it out and I still get lost'. I've heard this excuse so many times.
There is a lot that is so positive. For example, the development of the ACT Tourism Masterplan for 2001-2005, the activities of the Centre for Tourism Research at the University of Canberra, the renewed vigour of the Tourism Industry Council, the growth of Canberra airport, the huge capital investment in federally funded cultural institutions in recent years, talk of a Fast Train, talk of a Federation Tram.
I was pleased recently by discussions about the next Focus on Business in Canberra conference. The Arts will be seen as a major focus of cultural tourism and of Canberra business in the next conference. Last time, the arts as business was neglected. Arts institutions like the National Gallery are not just nice places to have a drinks reception. They are major drivers, even power houses, of Canberra's economy.
The National Gallery is one of the top ten material assets of the Commonwealth by insurance value (some $1.5 billion). The Australian War Memorial has just been named the Best Tourist Attraction in the National Tourism Awards for the second year in a row. We should be offering a civic reception to its staff. If our sports team wins, we do it, but not for a heritage institution? The National Museum of Australia was successfully launched and has had a great first year. Has the Government invited the Museum's Board and its Director and staff representatives to lunch to congratulate them? The Canberra Airport development should see Terry Snow celebrated for his imagination and energy, for trying so hard. People are critiqued enough when an effort runs into difficulty. They should also be praised. The National Aquarium, a private family venture, is a great place to visit here in Canberra. Do we adequately promote the presence of these types of tourism businesses in our community?
I am prompted in these thoughts by a solicitation I and the directors of many of the major cultural institutions in Canberra received a while ago from the Premier of Tasmania. He invited all of us to dinner here in Canberra and made no secret that he wanted to know what we could do for Tasmania. Now how about the ACT Government trying the same treat?
Statistics can lie but it would appear from official figures that Tasmania with a population not that far from the size of the ACT spends on destination marketing $24.56 per capita. The ACT spends $6.25 per capita. $24 compared to $6. By any reckoning, the ACT spends too little on attracting tourists.
I consulted the tourism policies of both the ACT Labor and Liberal parties on their websites. I welcome very much the importance being given to tourism initiatives in those policies. There is much of note in the record of recent years in Canberra: Bruce Stadium, the Airport, the increased funding for tourism promotion, the Focus on Business conference, the AFL Games, the Rally of Canberra, the Masters Games, the June weekend of the V8 Supercars race, the Centenary of Federation events, the new Visitor Centre at Tidbinbilla, and on it goes. But what is sorely missing is any real sense of co-ordinated activity within the community.
So can I end by praising the ACT Tourism Masterplan. Can I encourage a whole of government agency network approach to tourism. Can we create a mechanism within local government to unite the tourism industry? Can we create a forum where all key organisations, institutions and councils, including local government, can speak about, listen to and take action on tourism issues?
Can we have the major cultural institutions represented on the Business Council, the Chamber of Commerce, the Tourism Industry Council, or whatever groups on which they can usefully contribute and be informed?
A co-ordinated tourism strategy, with significantly better funding than currently provided, is essential. I hope the new government of the ACT will adopt such a strategy? I hope the business community will support such a strategy? Will you yourself, each one here, invest in it? Will you get serious about it? I leave it with you.

Antonio's View: My Favorite Hair Oils
by Antonio Gonzales on Monday, June 28th, 2010
I was born in Trinidad in the height of a hurricane. I spent my childhood surrounded by the sights and sounds and smells of Carnival and the other Indian, African and Spanish festivals of the Islands. Loving the amazing costumes, I got my start dressing my sisters and doing their hair and makeup. An opportunity came up to work with Trinidad's leading costume designers, makeup artists and hair stylists. After I left the Island, my career evolved with work in Munich, Los Angeles and now New York City. Here in New York, I am a stylist at the Orlo Salon in the Meat Packing district. Vogue magazine recently named me as one of the rising hairstylist stars in N.Y., I was awarded the best haircut of 2008 by shecky's.com, Gotham Magazine called me a Shear Genius and Allure Magazine featured me as one of the best cuts 2009.
See Antonio's blog here.
I remember as a kid that natural hair oils were a big part of our culture when moisturizing the hair and fighting frizz. The local African, Indian and mixed races (like me) believed in their conditioning benefits and did not leave home without them. As I approached the beginning of my cosmetology career, products started becoming more refined and companies started using more water-based conditioners, saying that water was more moisturizing than oils. They claimed that oils were a bit harsh, clogging the scalp with over-absorption and making ethnic hair too limp and hard to style. We as hairstylists, all welcomed the new approach to getting healthier hair with the water-based conditioning hair treatments for fighting frizz.
Then silicone-based products took the market by storm and we hairstylists were educated on the use and benefits of high-grade silicone. High-grade silicone products were easier on the hair and were removed more easily, compared to low-grade silicone. We are now back to hair oils which are making a huge comeback. These oils are not the old-school raw coconut oils or even professional oils (like Pink oil) that stopped working after some time. Oh no, we now have oils that has been researched, perfected for the professional and taking over the market from the U.S. to Timbuktu.
From treatments to styling products, I am bringing to you, the salon owner and hairstylist, 15 years of the best hair oils, silicones and water-based products to help fight frizz and build your business.
Hair Oils
These should always be used sparingly
Hamadi Healing Serum
Trust me when I say that this product is a healing experience for over-processed hair. When I first used this product, I honestly did not know what to expect. So many companies make claims to have the best product. One day I had a client for color only, she was leaving for the gym and wanted to do a rough blow dry on herself. I did not realize that she grabbed the Healing Serum by Hamadi, and she came running over to me saying; Feel my hair, feel my hair!! What is this!! Her hair felt amazing!! The product contains an amazing blend of organic oils such as ylang ylang, palmarosa, olive and avocado, just to name a few.
The Morocconoil Miracle
In Trinidad this product is all sold out!! If you have not heard of this product, you need to move back to earth. This product has brought oils back to the salon with grace, delivering results that you will love. It's an ideal product for all hair types, especially curly or frizzy hair and I love adding it to my favorite curl cream for extra support. I even add it to my hair masks for my nieces at the beach. It makes love to the hair. (smile) Read more about this oil here.
Nautrina Rejuvenating Pure Oils
I have written about this product before so for those of you who missed it, I bring to you a safe product to add to your color to prevent any scalp irritation. It's pretty straightforward and delivers results. In the past I've used all types of products for this purpose, even sugar! (I'm that old) This product is a must for your color dispensary and a few drops goes a long way. Your client will love you for it.
Styling Silicones
Should be able to easily be shampooed out of the hair.
BioSilk by Farouk
Oh yeah, baby, it's old school time! Back to when man was created. (just kidding) I still love this product for fighting frizz. If I'm on a shoot and for some reason I don't have my usual kit, I can run to the pharmacy and this product will deliver like it always has. It can be used on wet or dry hair, and offers great protection from heat. If you are a small, first-time salon owner and you can't commit to the big-name brands, get this and I guarantee you and your clients will be happy.
Serum Oleo Relax
Don't let the name fool you. It's not always about straightening hair to remove frizz. This high-grade silicone product can be added to curls to help control frizz when air drying. A tiny bit goes a long way so, although it's not cheap, your client will have it for a long time. Kerastase have also made a stronger product that's similar, but it's a little too heavy for my liking. I do know that with this company, you have to carry a certain amount of the line, so it may be too expensive to stock in your salon. If you can carry it, I say go for it!
Boost by Orlando Pita +T3
Let's bring on the big boys. This product gives a boost to hair that's dry and has also been cursed with the F word (FRIZZ). When blow drying use a tiny bit of this non-greasy weightless formula that transforms tired tresses. This fast acting nourishing and hydrating formulation aids in straightening and fighting frizz. Give your client's hair a boost by using on wet hair for either air drying or for blow drying. Your clients with frizzy hair should also use a little bit of this product on wet hair before going in to the pool or ocean. It can also be used on dry hair before flat ironing. All of that from one little tube which is why when I talk about high-grade silicone this is what I mean. Read more about Boost here.
Hair Masks
Should never be full of oil because we all know that water provides moisture as well.
Kerastase Age Recharge Masque
Although it's a pricey product, it sells itself. For me, it's easily one of the best hair masks I have used in a very long time. On virgin or color-treated hair, it will make your client's hair feel nourished and shiny. And although it's a cream, it will not leave your hair feeling lifeless. It really gives vitality back to stressed hair and adds shine to dull, aging hair.
Another Moroccanoil Miracle
This luxurious hydrating mask smells so good; it makes you want to put it on your carrot cake. I love how this product feels on my own hair and I even use it as a styling product at the beach. For a deeper treatment add some of the Moroccanoil treatment to the mask and see your client's hair come alive. Its a great way to add a service that your client really needs which is not too expensive. Read more about Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask here.
Paul Mitchell Hair Repair Treatment
I remember going to my first hair show in the mid-'80s and hearing about the man himself, Paul Mitchell. His passing was a huge loss to the industry, but he left behind a product line that will be known by future stylists to come. This hydrating treatment is worth having in your salon and will change your client's hair. The best part is that it's not too expensive and in these times that is music to our client's ears. Read more about this treatment here.
I am happy to have worked with all of these products. As a hair stylist it is important to offer my clients the help they deserve.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.

A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.

Spoiler!Ah so that's what the whole standing behind of Madara thing was about. Didn't give it a second thought actually, I'm pretty amazed it turned out to be something important.
So So
Spoiler!Ah so that's what the whole standing behind of Madara thing was about. Didn't give it a second thought actually, I'm pretty amazed it turned out to be something important.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Nothing major compared to the previous weeks but still the conclusion that we were all expecting and looking forward to...looks like the wood clone was really smth else if even madara couldn't see through it. Now, onto sasuke's reply, though if what hashirama said doesn't even sway him one bit I don't know what will and he deserves to die for it lol.
Looks like Madara pulled an Izanagi on Hashirama. So the first hokage didn't know of the most secret uchiha techniques afterall.
Hashirama is good, he noticed that Madara had to deactivate his Sharingan due to overuse of his chakra, otherwise using the wood clone would be pointless since Madara mentioned that he was the only person that could see through it.
From what I understood, they still battled for awhile after Hashirama has sleep-touched the Kyubi. You can notice that those creatures are not even close to them anymore and after landing near them, there was a phase panel of Madara's eye, then the moon, after which they end up in a valley with their armors riped to pieces.
Wow, I'm surprised that Hashirama have basically said that he will eliminate anything that stands in his and the village's path, even if those were his friends, family, children... peace and love loving Senju, there was one, but he changed as well after killing his friend, damn, no wonder he treaded the bijuu poorly after this as well.
Now, who helped Madara ? It seems that he wouldn't have been able to survive on his own, after exhausting his chakra to the point where he couldn't even use his Sharingan. It seems that Hashirama have noticed someone standing atop the valley...
So MS and SM are equal... interesting that MS seems to be somewhat of an opposite to SM, not only in acronyms, but also that one draws strength from within itself, while the other one from the outside.
First of all, pretty dark for Hashiram to stab Madara from the back. Doesn't seem like something he would do. Could this all be a genjutsu? Also, when did Madara take "some of Hashirama's DNA"? What does that even mean? Like a chunk of his flesh? His blood?
There are still some facts missing. From this moment and the moment when Obito got to Madara's cave, Madara was missing one eye. Why? Would seem as though he'd used it for something. That piece is still missing.
Perhaps he took some random Uchiha eyes from someone, took out his own Rinnegans, replaced them with the random Uchiha eyes. And used izanagi to implant the rinnegans to Nagato without him realising it.
That would explain the missing eye when he met Obito.
My next guess is that they all arrive at the battle field. Madara will see Hashirama and a new series of dialougue will happen. As well as Madara's flashback of this event. And how he survived.
Madara could not have used Izanagi, because like Nano said, attaining the Reningan would then be impossible. Also, I agree that certain pieces are missing. Kishi may be holding off those for Madara's flashback story.
Well whilst it could be that an Izanagi was used, I think the way hashirama said it, it could indicate another antagonist.

text: Not to be lost in last night's comeback win was Wily Peralta's performance.. Looked early like Big Wily was going to run into a high pitch count when he had all sorts of troubles in the first inning. Wily then settled down and kept the Brewers in the game until the offense scratched out just enough to get the win. Its to bad that its all on the pitching, if the Brewers find their way into the playoffs. The offense shouldn't be this spotty with the guys they have in that lineup. It has been the entire season and there is no reason to think the offense will ever bail out the pitching. Ryan Braun is killing the team with his inability to ever come up with the clutch hit. Going to need another big effort from Mike Fiers tonight because runs will be hard to scratch out against Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright,who appears to have bounced out of what was a late summer skid..

Posted on March 22, 2014
Last year for Women's History Month, we posted a short bibliography of guides for finding your female ancestors as well as other published material on women and all aspects of women's history.
This year we'd like to point out a few of the Newberry manuscript collections which document the lives of some fascinating women.
- Lundgren, Harriet, 1905-1996. Papers, 1917-1991, bulk 1920-1938.
Lundgren danced as a prima ballerina for the Chicago Civic Ballet in the 1920s and 1930s, and was a featured dancer at the Century of Progress Chicago World's Fair of 1933-1934. Her four career scrapbooks contain clippings, programs, and other ephemera related to her dancing career. The collection also includes autographed photographs of dancers, opera singers, and other celebrities collected by Lundgren. Photograph subjects include Adolph Bolm, Walter Camryn, Feodor Chaliapin, Amelita Galli-Curci, Mary Garden, Anna Ludmila, Ruth Page, Rosa Raisa, and others.
- MacDonald, Hazel. Hazel MacDonald Papers, 1928-1967.
Chicago-based journalist and foreign correspondent in Europe during World War II, MacDonald had a brief career as a Hollywood screenwriter but later moved back to her native Chicago to work for the Chicago American.. She was married to fellow foreign correspondent Robert J. Casey from 1946 until Casey's death in 1962. This collection consists of a small amount of correspondence, biographical materials, newspaper clippings, foreign dispatches, and other works.
- Wingreen, Amy Eleanor, 1870-1919. Amy E. Wingreen Papers, 1898-ca. 1900.
Material relating to Amy E. Wingreen's service as a nurse in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. Consists of correspondence from Wingreen to her mother, sister, and nephew, memorabilia, photographs, a scrapbook of clippings and official letters and two manuscript narratives recounting her experiences.
For a more complete list of our manuscript holdings, see our abstracts listing.

Great Shoe!
"I got these for my 4 year old son last spring. He plays outside a lot, does a lot of running, jumping and climbing. Regular sneakers get uncomfortable when wet, and don't provide that much protection for his toes. He has narrow feet, but the shoes still fit him really well, because they are adjustable.The first pair we got were a slightly different style Keen and they were just too wide. I returned them to the DSW store in Tampa, which is great, and got a quick refund. I really like DSW--service is great and the price for these shoes was substantially less than at a department store or a sporting goods store."

My son loves his new shoes.
"I got these for my 4 year old son, to protect his toes while he runs around outside. They look great and are easy on/off by himself. I got an 11, but he could have fit in a 10 (for a short while). And even though they are a little too big, he loves them. And I love that he will be able to wear them next year, too! The midnight navy/green combo is sharp."
