So So
is there any list of release dates for whole 2013? I always wondered about that.
Seeing as incorporating new bloodlines and the like doesn't seem to be a problem for Edo Bodies, their immortality, regeneration, limitless chakra recovery and the like, doesn't sound like such a bad idea for someone with Oro's desires. The only drawback we know that an Edo body holds, is that it cannot become a Jinchurki... even though, a Bijuu power can be channeled through it as we saw with the Edo Jinchurikis...
Well, Madara is the strongest of the Uchiha, for now. That is assuming that So6p's surname isn't Uchiha and that it was lost in time, only for his descendants to once again bear that name at some point in time... hmmm, I wonder when we will learn of So6p's true name anyway... it actually would be strange if none of his descendants hadn't pass along his real surname to their own descendants...especially sine he had (it seems) only sons. Then again, we don't know how long ago it was (the founding of Konoha wasn't so long ago itself), so perhaps surnames didn't exist at that time.
no idea when it will be available??????
Miau, Miau, Miau.....prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

Livestock Losses:
We had a really bad winter on livestock and lost a lot of cattle. The FSA office is taking applications for these weather-related losses.
People are beginning to hear about this opportunity, and I thought it would be good to have a little bit about the programs in this column.
Livestock disaster program enrollment opened on April 15, 2014.
These disaster programs are authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill as permanent programs and provide retroactive authority to cover losses that occurred on or after Oct. 1, 2011.
The days are growing longer, the temperatures are rising and it's time for 4-H members to finalize their registration for summer camp. Washington County 4-H will be camping June 24 - 28 at Lake Cumberland 4-H Camp.
Applications are available from the extension office and the deadline to pre-register is June 2.
The cost for camp is $170 and partial scholarships are available for those that qualify. Call the extension office at 336-7741 for questions about 4-H Camp.
The Washington County 4-H members competed in the 4-H Youth Fair on April 25 and 26. The class champions will now advance to the KY State Fair in August. Results are listed in this week's news.
We all know that it was a long cold winter in Kentucky and pastures and hay fields were slow to get started. Some of the slow start was caused by winter injury, but mostly we have just had a late spring. Below are some observations from our UK variety tests.
Annual ryegrass is the cool-season grass that had the most winterkill.
The top speakers from across the county, in our Washington County 4-H County-wide Talk Meet held on April 29, at St. Catharine College, competed for the opportunity to advance to the District 5 competition scheduled for May 10 in Elizabethtown.
In the 9-year-old division, winning champion was Emma Smith with her speech, "The One and Only."
Reserve champion was Leah Russell with her speech "My Daddy Daughter Dance."
Receiving blue ribbons were Kyla Yankey and Kaelyn Adams.
Burley, like most of our agricultural enterprises, is produced in a global marketplace.
Higher global grain prices in recent years have not only encouraged Kentucky and U.S. farmers to raise more grain but also corn and soybean producers around the globe.
As a result of increasing global supplies, grain prices have predictably declined from the record levels we experienced in 2012.
The global burley market has a similar story.

Imagine that you are strolling through the aisles of the grocery store.
How do you determine the healthiest choices for you and your family?
If you are accustomed to turning the package over to read the food label, I have some interesting information reported by Janet Mullins, UK Extension Specialist for food and nutrition.
Twenty years ago, the food label welcomed a new addition, the "Nutrition Facts Panel."
Saturday, April 26, will be a fun day for Washington County residents with three local events set for that day. I hope many will stop by the 4-H Youth Fair at the Washington County Extension Office on Saturday from 10 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
At 1:30 p.m., we will draw for door prizes and all 4-H members should pick up any exhibits they have entered.
There will also be the invitational rabbit and poultry skillathon with participants from counties across the state competing.
Some of you may not have heard, but I, along with New Pioneers For A Sustainable Future, have been working for a couple months planning the first ever Springfield Green Festival.
This Saturday, April 26, 2014, at the Farmers Market at the Depot from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. you can get your fill of all things green.
Heirloom plants are vintage varieties preserved by passing down seed through generations.
Generally, 50 to 100 years old, heirlooms are always open-pollinated and usually breed true to type. Their benefit is that they are sustainable.
You can save seeds from year to year indefinitely. They were selected for flavor and quality as well as ease of growth.

Love the brushed-gold color: a classic pump
"I really wish these had worked. The color would go with so many dressy outfits. The lower heel is also great. The toe-box was just a little tight but I have a narrow heel and it was slipping so badly out of the back, the shoe almost came off me. For someone with an average heel, they might be perfect."

beautiful shoe, runs long
"I love the shoe, it looks great in person but it runs about 1/2 a size to long. I going to exchange it so it fits me right."

Love these, but they aren't cut right for my feet
"The fabric on these shoes is unusual and perfect for spring/summer. Unfortunately, they are going back. They are cut strangely in the toe. I'm not against toe cleavage, but the way they are cut, you see most of my toes, including almost my whole pinky toe. My feet fit into them snugly, so it's not a size issue. Other than that, they are adorable. Comfortable and heel is the perfect height. I wish they had worked out."

Weekend open thread: Kadri's value, and Carl Gunnarsson's comments
Cam Charron
June 01 2013 12:23PM
Yesterday a bit of a kerfuffle erupted online when a translation of a hockeysvierge piece found the Internet. I like foreign interviews because players tend to say more interesting things in both their native languages, and the ones tabloid reporters don't speak.
If you went to hockeysvierge's website and clicked on the translation page, the quoted Gunnarsson bit from the article was "Do not think I need to stay". I've put the image above, so ya'll can see it. However, Google Translations aren't exactly accurate, so we sent off the article to the Leafs Nation's Swedish Bureau to give us a real translation of the piece.
That's after the jump. Read on and discuss.
I've realized how it works in this market, that you can't be attached to one place.
We haven't talked yet. The ball is in their court. I have left everything to the agents, they're gonna have to handle that. I don't feel any stress about the fact that my contract is expiring.
There are other players who are more of a priority (laugh). It is a bit more urgent with Tyler Bozak and those guys who are unrestricted free agents. They have to handle things with those guys quicker than with me.
What do you expect to get in terms of salary?
Five years, seven million per season.. (laugh)
No, I've actually got no idea what people earn and don't know what to demand. The agents can handle that. I have actually not thought about it at all.
But you are focused on staying in Toronto?
Both yes and no. Sure, I am happy with the club and like the city, but I don't know what they think about me and if they think I have a future with the club.
I have naturally realized how things work in this business, that you can't get too attached, that you're nothing more than a piece of a puzzle. I don't feel I have to stay, so I am pretty calm about these negotiations.
Some people might feel secure about their spot on the team and perhaps I do as well during the actual season, but during summer and at training camp, I always feel chased.
That's both for good and for bad, I guess. It's works as a motivation, you can push yourself, but sometimes it may work the other way around, you grip things too tightly. [Original link to Swedish]
So, Gunnarsson did not indicate that he doesn't need Toronto and Toronto doesn't need him. A lot of good defensive defencemen that do what Gunnarsson do don't make a whole lot of cash, so the Leafs are probably going to get a pretty good deal on this guy.
According to Behind the Net, Gunnarsson had the second-highest quality of competition among Leafs defencemen this season, and started often in the defensive zone. Just 39.8% of his shifts that started in either team's attacking end were in the offensive zone this season, but it doesn't take metrics to know that Gunnarsson and Dion Phaneuf generally faced the opposition's toughest competition in the toughest situations. Any idiot could have seen that.
So he's quite important. The above translation, which is more accurate than Google, doesn't have anything life-changing, but it's a pretty good interview.
Gunnarsson, like Nazem Kadri, is a restricted free agent. I haven't dove too much into comparables yet, but he's coming off a two-year deal worth $1.325-million and should expect a tidy raise. I'd try to lock him down for three or four years if I were Nonis. I don't think buying up UFA years should be too expensive since he doesn't have the pedigree as a defensive defenceman and doesn't put up points. Despite his importance as a player, his type of player is undervalued.
How important is he? Well, with just a couple games left in the season, I took a look and found that in the games that Gunnarsson was out of the lineup to injury, the Leafs were out-shot 24.5 to 34.6. In the games Gunnarsson played, the Leafs were out-shot just 27.4 to 31.8. He's unspectacular, but important, and probably worth a lot more than he's going to end up getting.
What would you pay Gunnarsson, or Nazem Kadri? I discussed Kadri here yesterday.
Depending on term, I'd start the contract at 2.5 and move it up to 3.5 over 3-4 years. He's big but gangly, not rough, not flashy, doesn't fight and if you're not paying attention, you might not notice him in the game. Every good team needs a Gunnar, a tight stay at home, get the most basic part of the job done and get to the bench. He's calm and eats a good amount of minutes per game. I think he's very valuable to the Leafs, and I hope they lock him up for a few seasons. As an ex defenceman, I love these kinds of players.
June 01 2013, 10:02PM
I think gunnar gets a Cap hit of 2.4mil for 2 years.
I am sure that Gunnarsson played hurt at the end of the season and during the series with Boston. If the Leafs have another partner in mind for Phaneuf, he'll be coming from outside the organization. I expect Gunnarsson to be a Leaf for a long time.
I think he was 1st on the leafs in es points this year for defencemen

Program Info
What is Sitting Volleyball?
Sitting volleyball is a discipline of disabled volleyball that is played while sitting on the floor. The sport is governed by the same set of rules as the able-bodied game, with a few minor rule modifications.
The sitting volleyball court measures 10m x 6m, divided into two sides of 5m deep by 6m wide. The net height is lower than that of able-bodied or standing volleyball, and is set at a height of 1.15m for men, and 1.05m for women.
Who can play?
At the non-international level, sitting volleyball can be played by anyone. One of the great features of sitting volleyball is the fact that it provides the opportunity to easily integrate able-bodied athletes and athletes with a disability on a more level playing field.
For international competition, sitting volleyball is open to athletes with a physical disability who meet the minimum disability requirements for volleyball. An athlete's disability must be permanent (either progressive or non-progressive). Athletes with progressive physical disabilities (i.e., muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, etc.) are given a temporary classification and must be classified at each competition.
While many sitting volleyball athletes at the international level are amputees, the sport can be played by athletes with other types of physical disabilities.
Athlete classification
Sitting volleyball is governed by the World Organization Volleyball for Disabled (WOVD). The WOVD has adapted the FIVB (Fédération Internationale de Volleyball) rules for use in sitting volleyball. The rule modifications for sitting volleyball include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The height of the net (1.15m for men and 1.05m for women) and the size of the court (10m x 6m) are reduced for sitting volleyball;
- Front-row players are allowed to block the service of the opponent;
- The positions of the players are determined and controlled by the positions of their buttocks. This means that the hand(s) and/or leg(s) of the players may lie in the attack zone (back-row player during an attack hit), in the court (server during the service hit), or in the free zone outside the court (any player during the service hit); and
- The players are not allowed to lift their buttocks from the court when they carry out any type of attack-hit.
Players must remain in contact with the court at all times when playing the ball. To stand up, rise or take steps is forbidden. When making a defensive play (to save a ball) in the back zone, a short loss of contact with the court is permitted. When making a defensive play (to save a ball) in the front zone, not being a block, a short loss of contact with the court is permitted.

Comments: This string has great spin potential and a good amount of control BUT there are 2 major problems. The first is that after 1 hour (if you play top spin) the string movement is incredible, you will look at your racquet and find huge gaps. But the main problem is the durability one of my rackets broke after 30 minutes.
From: Tom Punch, England. 04/09
Comments: I used this string in a hybrid w/Luxilon ALU, and it was amazing. It has great playability and great control. Durability is an issue. I am 11 years old and broke the string in 2 1/2 weeks. If you have a big swing it will probably last you about 4 hours.
From: Anon. 3/09
Comments: This string is very good for control and pace. I can hit deep shots with the forehand and backhand. I play with the Wilson nCode nVision racquet with the string @ 63lbs. I can hit angle shots and volley lobs. The strings also allow for pretty decent pace on the serve and good overheads. I'm a 4.0 player and would recommend the string for control, pace and decent spin.
From: Rick, Suwanee, GA, United States. 9/08
Comments: Gamma TNT2 18 is a decent string, but it is too dead to me. It does
not have enough pop. I string my racquets at 65lbs and have a big swing. After a few hours
of play the string busted in two places on one shot. It has bad durability, bad feel, and okay
From: Andy, CA, USA. 1/04
Comments: I used to use gut, but when the price jumped from $35
to $55, I switched to Gamma TNT 18. To me, it plays almost like gut, but it is a lot less
expensive. Since I string my racquets now, I save even more. Yes, the durability (the lack of
it) is a problem, but string savers definitely help. I also found that all string savers are not
created equal. I highly recommend Babolat even though it is a bit more expensive than
others, because it protects the string better (perhaps it has smoother edges), it does not fall
off, and it is easy to install.
From: Ken, Bethlehem, PA. USA 8/02
Comments: The Gamma TNT 18 Natural string has great feel but durability is a
problem for topspin players. I tend to recommend it to better lady players. String savers are
best placed along the top 3 crosses as this is where the mains tend to break in modern
rackets (mis-hits of course) rather than at the center. Try this, it has doubled the life of my
From: Toby, England 8/02
Comments: Gamma TNT 18 Natural has amazing bite and feel. All my shots
were very crisp with a soft feel. This string added a new dimension to my serves: a kick
serve that really kicks. The only draw back was the durability. It only lasted about 3 hours of
play -it broke on an off-center shot. (I am a 3.5 NTRL level baseliner using a Prince Graphite
110 racquet strung at 67lbs.)
From: Vu, Columbus, OH. USA 7/02
Comments: Voted the second most playable synthetic gut string in the USRSA
annual survey 2 years in a row, this string plays better than you would imagine. The only
drawback is the durability, try using stringsavers from Gamma to extend life. The super thin
design allows tons of spin and incredible feel. The best part is the string is low in cost so
you can restring each racquet once a month without paying tons of money. Try it once and I
guarantee you'll be hooked like me. Guaranteed!

Craigslist hangers-on accidentally build real businesses
The cheesier the New York Times headline ("Wanted"? Who thinks up this stuff?), the more doomed the company. The Times covers three startups that help users submit classified ads to "all the major listings services," for free or for a small fee, making money from showing ads to users.
Think about the business plan for a second. For these companies to succeed, a good number of customers have to:
- Be aware of classifieds sites other than Craigslist or the one dominant site in their city
- Care about posting to more than one site
- Be aware of the posting business
- Figure out a new and strange form
- To use the result on Craigslist, go and paste code into the site anyway
Not the recipe for success with a mass-customer business. Thankfully, according to one quoted exec from posting company Postlets, power-sellers like car dealers and real estate services are using the sites. The folks at Postlets say they never saw that coming and were relying on small customers. Now they have a user base — one that's not particularly attractive to ad sellers, but one that Postlets and its competitors can safely charge fees. Talk about being saved from your own failed business plan.

Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved. The Gurler House hosts an annual Folk Music Festival every summer, where people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music. While you are at The Gurler House, make sure to take a walk through their beautiful garden.

Love him or hate him, Darrell Waltrip is a NASCAR institution, and he's a centerpiece of the sport's broadcast strategy. He's an avowed homer, openly cheering for certain drivers like his brother and Dale Earnhardt Jr., but he's also a huge fan of the sport itself, and his enthusiasm bleeds out of your TV speakers with every boogity.
And now, love him or hate him, you're going to have ol' DW around for another three years, as he's agreed to a contract extension that will keep him in the Fox broadcast booth for the rest of Fox's current NASCAR term. DW will be spinning his homespun wisdom through the 2014 season.
"Being a part of the NASCAR on Fox team has given me an opportunity to share my passion and love for NASCAR," Waltrip "said" in a statement. "I never thought there would be anything that could replace the thrill of driving race cars. I was wrong. Bringing that thrill to the fans at home every week is just as exciting."
For whatever reason, NASCAR fans just love to dissect the minutiae of television coverage, and this will play right into that debate. So, your take on DW? Good for the sport, or relic? Bringing enthusiasm and passion, or country-fried corn? Have your say, friends.

Not Better Than My Croc 1 Infrared Flat Iron (1 1/2")This flat iron is decent but I like my Croc 1 Infrared Flat Iron (1 1/2") better. I needed a smaller iron that was comparable or better than my Croc. I like my Croc for so many reasons but I can't curl with it. I chose this iron because of the brand and digital technology. Sedu seems to be a really popular and successful brand and all the rave reviews from the Sedu Revolution had me HYPED! I read a post that stated that this iron was an upgrade from the Sedu Revloution as it has the digital (vs analog) technology. Since my Croc is digital, I didn't want to down grade and get an analog iron. So, choosing this Sedu Icon made perfect sense.
Before I go into my experience, let me disclose that I am African American with 3c (Curly/Coily) hair texture. I am 8 months into my transition from relaxed to natural hair. I have about 3 inches of new growth. Blown out, my hair is below my ears but above my shoulders in the front and it slightly reaches my nape in the back. It's grown into this unappealing "shag" style that is not my favorite so I needed a flat iron that could "bend" more.
I used the iron about 4-5 times to make sure I gave it a fair chance. I'll list out the pros and cons to make it a little easier to read.
1. Pretty color (more orange than yellow)
2. Very sleek and light weight
3. Easy grip (comparable to my Croc)
4. Makes hair very soft (may have done a better job than my Croc but honestly my Croc is too large of an iron for my hair length so it could be that I can't completely flat iron my hair well with the Croc. I bought the Croc mostly for when I wear my extensions. I would categorize this as 60 (Sedu)/40 (Croc). Not that much difference here.
5. Can use for curling (Can't curl or bend with my Croc at all which is one of the reasons why I needed a new iron in the first place)
6. Glides through the hair nicely (So does my Croc)
7. REAL Floating Plates (My Croc says the plates float but it doesn't really have loose floating plates. The Sedu plates actually move pretty well when you touch them meaning you can visually see the float.)
8. Auto shut off (So does my Croc). I didn't get the opportunity to see if this option really worked. I know it works well with my Croc.
9. Three year warranty (Wow, Sedu really stands behind this one!)
Cons: Doesn't stand up to my my Croc 1 Infrared Flat Iron (1 1/2") technology.
1. There are only 6 temperature settings. I usually flat iron my hair on 380. This setting was not an option on the Sedu. I believe the settings are 450, 400, 340, 280, 230 and 170. I can put my Croc on any setting of my choice between 280 and 450 in increments of 10. Also, with my Croc, you can actually see it heating up. The temperature increases right on the digital display as it is heating up. You can see it going from 280, 290, 300, 310, etc.
2. Doesn't really heat up or feel as if it gets as hot as my Croc. I used my Croc and the Sedu simultaneously the second time around. Placed on the same temperature setting (400), my Croc seemed to produce more heat. When the Sedu was at 450, it still didn't seem as hot. I had to go over my new growth too many times just to get it straight. This is not a once or twice over straightener.
3. Leaves no shine. My hair is a dirty brown so it naturally has no shine; however, after ironing my hair alternating the Croc and Sedu Icon to compare I felt as if the Croc gave me a better shine.
4. Didn't really give me a "professional" look. I don't think this made me look like I just walked out of the salon.
5. I believe my Croc generates more negative ions. There's no way to really test this. I say this for two reasons: (a) my hair looks better when flat ironed with the Croc and (b) my Croc has dual plate technology. My Croc has a solid Titanium plate on top and a split Ceramic and Tourmaline plate on the bottom with infrared heat dispensing wholes that divide them. Titanium is know to produce more negative ions than ceramic alone. The Sedu is a ceramic iron only.
Overall the iron is cool but I wasn't super impressed. If you're buying a new iron and not replacing an iron, this may work for you. If you are looking for a top notch iron, this one is NOT it. I honestly don't think this should be classified as a "professional" iron at any rate. To me, it's for home use only. A stylist would probably not retain many clients using this iron as their primary one. I don't think it really does MUCH for the look of the hair. I returned mine because it didn't blow me away, especially at this price point and I purchased it for a large amount less than the listed price. I was expecting more.Apr 26, 2012India / Washington, DCHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair

A Well-rounded Iron!I did not have the highest of expectations for this iron, despite the steep price, but I have concluded it is better than my GHD. Yes, I said it. I have a limited edition GHD but the plates are coated with a color, reducing the performance. If you want a GHD, stick to the traditional black and gold. That being said, I still think the Sedu Icon is the winner because it has auto shut-off and a digital plate to control the temperature. I love high-tech beauty gadgets! I am not a fan of GHD's self-adjusting technology and prefer to set my heat lower as not to flatten out the roots. By the way, this iron is orange, not yellow. I prefer orange anyway, but I just wanted to mention it in case you seriously considering a purchase. The rubber pads beneath the plates are really handy in case you have butter fingers, but even if you do not, they still make the iron much easier to grasp. I have used it to straighten and curl my hair and it works well for both styles.Jan 25, 2012Rae / United StatesHAIR TYPEBlack / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Not As Good As GhdI had a GHD iron for 6 years and I gave my old one to a friend who really loved my iron after using it and decided to buy a new one for myself. I read a lot of reviews and bought the Sedu Icon but found that it did not perform as well as the GHD. I then bought a new GHD and compared it to the Sedu and found that the texture of my hair was smoother and I had more volume with the GHD iron.
The new GHD has universeral voltage and can be used in multiple countires and also has a sleep feature after 30 minutes of no use.
I will be returing my Sedu Icon.Jan 2, 2012Pam / CaliforniaHAIR TYPEBlack / Normal Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Best Flat Iron I've Ever Used And It Has An Auto Shut Off!After my Chi broke just past the one year warranty, I've been on a quest for a great flat iron with an auto shut, since I'd accidentally left my old one more than once. I tried every brand - they either didn't straighen my already pretty straight hair, broke immediately, or pulled my hair. Finally, I decided to bite the bullet and buy this very expensive flat iron. What a difference - this one heats up quickly, straightens on one pass, glides through my hair beautifully, and....shuts itself off if I forget to do it! Plus it has a three year warranty. Highly recommended, but it's a splurge.Dec 30, 2011Pgs / MidwestHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair

Amazing As Can Be!I have tried 5 straightners in the past and in my opinion this is by far the best one yet! I recently had a chi and thought it was great but now i think other wise. My hair is not super thick but it is very volumous which makes it a pain to straighten. With my chi to do a decent job on my hair it took me probably no less then ten minutes i say about 15 minutes I think. With my new amazing sedu I can literally have a pretty good look in about 5 to 7 minutes. I love the auto shut off so I don't have to panick if I forgot to turn it off. Also it is very light weight which is nice. Another big thing my hair does not usually stay stick straight throughout the day and with my chi my hair would become less and less straight. This iron kepps my hair straighter for longer i believe than my chi usually did. Thank you sedu for this amazing productDec 26, 2011MadisonHAIR TYPENormal Hair

Excellenttt!!!!!!After trying many straighteners like CHI, Babyliss Tourmaline etc etc.. i came upon this website and Sedu is one brand name that caught my eye...i decided to try it out even though it charged me an insane amount of money since shipping to Canada isn't free... but in the end it really is worth it.
the material used to make it is solid, yet light weight and the results it gives you are even better. i would definitely recommend this iron to anyone looking for a good quality and excellent resulting straightener!! it will be worth your money.Nov 5, 2011Tgs..HAIR TYPEBlack / Thick or Coarse Hair

This Straightener Worked Very Well For Me :)My hair is very thick, long, wavy/curly... WILD! So I need a good hair straightener to calm it down. I liked this one because it goes up to 450 degrees, which I need because of the kind of hair I have (low heat just doesn't work for me). It's nice because it doesn't feel like its ripping my hair out, or cracking it off while I use it. It also makes my hair feel very smooth. It's lightweight and easy to figure out. It heats up quickly, and you have the option of turning on/off the automatic shut off option. So far, the only negative that I find in it is the area behind the plates. It gets really HOT! You definitely don't want to touch it above the finger grips while you're using it, because it does get verrrrry hot! Overall though, I think it's a very good straightener, gets the job done! It's easy, my hair feels smooth, and it didn't do any damage to my hair :)Sep 16, 2011MelissaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

With the word that four teams are deemed as suitable destinations for Calgary Flames free-agent-to-be right winger Jarome Iginla, here is a look at Iginla's value and what that could mean for each of the teams named.
For starters, Iginla is a 35-year-old winger who has scored 525 goals and 1095 points in 1218 career games (plus 28 goals and 49 points in 54 career playoff games), but his production is down this year. Through 31 games, Iginla has nine goals and 22 points with 100 shots on goal and a minus-7 rating, playing 19:18 per game.
Iginla's goal total is lower than usual thanks to his shooting percentage (9.0%), his lowest since his second year in the league, 1997-98. While his shots per game (3.23) is down from his peak years, it matches up well with two of the past three seasons and those were years in which Iginla finished with 32 goals, so it's not unreasonable to position him as a player that could still be capable of production along those lines.
When it comes to advanced stats, Iginla comes across as relatively unlucky this season, at both ends of the rink. That doesn't mean he's still the same old Iggy, rather he's a 35-year-old winger with a long track record of being able to put the puck in the net and, even if he's lost a step, he's generating enough shots on a consistent basis to believe that he could still be a valuable offensive contributor on another club.
The reported asking price for Iginla right now is two prospects (one top tier, one lesser) and a pick. Let's assume that the pick is a first-rounder, though I suppose that could fluctuate given the quality of prospects offered.
A look, then, at the four teams involved and who might meet the reported asking price:
Boston Bruins - The Bruins have been looking for an upgrade to their forwards for some time and Iginla would certainly give them another scoring option. GM Peter Chiarelli is adamant that goaltending prospect Malcolm Subban is staying put, but could two of Jordan Caron, Ryan Spooner, Alexander Khochlachev, Torey Krug, Anthony Camara, Craig Cunningham, Jared Knight plus a pick get it done? Spooner is probably another prospect that might require the Bruins to swallow hard before pulling the trigger.
Chicago Blackhawks - Even if we can make some assumptions that the Blackhawks wouldn't want to give up a kid already skating on their top line, like Brandon Saad, Chicago has plenty of prospects to offer. Centres Teuvo Teravainen, Phillip Danault, Mark McNeill and Brandon Pirri top the list; wingers Jeremy Morin and Jimmy Hayes could have some appeal and defencemen Adam Clendening, Dylan Olsen or Stephen Johns could be included. Somewhere, in that group, there should be a couple of players to agree upon. How about McNeill, Olsen and a first-round pick?
Los Angeles Kings - The defending champions don't seem to have an urgency to land Iginla, though that is admittedly the best position from which to negotiate. Head coach Darryl Sutter is obviously familiar with Iginla's work from his time in Calgary, so perhaps the Kings could fill a spot on the wing with Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, if either Carter or Iginla are willing to take the left side. Recently-promoted rookie Tyler Toffoli has seen some time with Richards and Carter already and, like other probable untouchables for the other teams mentioned, isn't likely to be included in a Los Angeles offer. After that, though, forwards Tanner Pearson, Linden Vey, Nick Shore, goaltender Martin Jones and defencemen Derek Forbort, Colin Miller or Nick Gravel could all be part of an offer.
Pittsburgh Penguins - After acquiring Brenden Morrow and Douglas Murray, the Pittsburgh Penguins may not be quite as desperate to add Iginla, but if the price is right, his offensive ability could help put them over the top in their bid for the Cup. Winger Beau Bennett seems like he's fitting in with the Penguins already, so he could be harder to pry away, but there are still a number of defence prospects including Simon Despres, Derrick Pouliot, Olli Maatta, Brian Dumoulin, Scott Harrington, Philip Samuelsson or Robert Bortuzzo could help form the cornerstone of a deal. Forward prospects, aside from Bennett, aren't as appealing, but perhaps collegiate prospect Kenneth Agostino (96 points in 97 career games at Yale) or Tom Kuehnhackl would be viable for inclusion.
Conclusion: It really does seem possible that Iginla actually could move after 16 seasons in Calgary, especially when he talks about it being settled in the next five to six days.
While there have been rumblings that the Flames' asking price is too much, it doesn't seem out of line with prices paid for rental players at previous trade deadlines. Some examples (including names of notable draft picks) from www.nhltradetracker.com, since 2006:
2011 - Toronto acquired C Joe Colborne, a 2011 first-round pick (Rickard Rakell) and a conditional second-round pick in 2012 from Boston for D Tomas Kaberle.
2010 - Atlanta acquired RW Niclas Bergfors, C Patrice Cormier, D Johnny Oduya, a first-round pick (Kevin Hayes) and second-round pick from New Jersey for LW Ilya Kovalchuk, D Anssi Salmela and a second-round pick (Jonathon Merrill).
2009 - Phoenix acquired C Matthew Lombardi, LW Brandon Prust and a first-round pick (Brandon Gormley) from Calgary for C Olli Jokinen and a third-round pick.
2008 - Columbus acquired conditional first (Luca Sbisa) and fourth-round (David Savard) picks from Colorado for D Adam Foote.
2008 - Buffalo acquired RW Steve Bernier and a first-round pick (Tyler Ennis) from San Jose for D Brian Campbell and a seventh-round pick.
2008 - Atlanta acquired RW Colby Armstrong, C Erik Christensen, C Angelo Esposito and a first-round pick from Pittsburgh for RW Marian Hossa and LW Pascal Dupuis.
2007 - Edmonton acquired LW Robert Nilsson, C Ryan O'Marra and a first-round pick from the N.Y. Islanders for LW Ryan Smyth.
2007 - Florida acquired C Shawn Matthias and conditional second-round picks in 2007 (Nick Spaling) and 2008 from Detroit for RW Todd Bertuzzi.
2007 - St. Louis acquired RW Ville Nieminen, RW Jay Barriball and a first-round pick (LW David Perron) from San Jose for RW Bill Guerin.
2007 - St. Louis acquired C Glen Metropolit, first (Mikael Backlund) and third-round picks in 2007 as well as a second-round pick in 2008 and a conditional first-round pick in 2008 from Atlanta for LW Keith Tkachuk.
2007 - Philadelphia acquired D Ryan Parent, RW Scottie Upshall, a first-round (Jonathon Blum) and third-round pick from Nashville for C Peter Forsberg.
2006 - Boston acquired C Marty Reasoner, C Yan Stastny and a second-round pick (LW Milan Lucic) from Edmonton for LW Sergei Samsonov.
2006 - Pittsburgh acquired C Krys Kolanos, LW Niklas Nordgren and a second-round pick from Carolina for RW Mark Recchi.
2006 - St. Louis acquired RW Jesse Boulerice, C Mike Zigomanis, LW Magnus Kahnberg, a first-round pick and fourth-round pick in 2006 and fourth-round pick in 2007) from Carolina for C Doug Weight and LW Erkki Rajamaki.
The number of high-profile rentals has gone down in the last few seasons but, given these returns, is it really unreasonable to ask for two prospects and a pick for Iginla? Admittedly, his no-movement clause and a list of approved destinations isn't going to maximize the return, but as long as there is more than one suitor, the price should be competitive.
If the Flames can get a compelling offer for Iginla, then it will be time to rebuild in earnest, meaning more veterans could be on the move as Calgary finally tries to stockpile young talent. Better late than never, some will say, but it's never easy to part ways with the player that has been the face of the franchise for a generation of fans. Just as it won't be easy for Iginla to move on from the only NHL team he's ever played for, if that's the path that is ultimately chosen.

Sorry, I did not point out where I was coming from with my posts.
Basically, I read a part of your initial post that felt off more so than the other instances you mention.
Which is why I may have looked like I was discounting everything you laid out.
Hope this clears everything.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Science is a broad topic and the students from Ferron Elementary brought science to life with their science fair on April 13.
The projects ranged from the simple to the complex. The younger students grew plants and studied soil and the best way to produce the best results with their plants. Some of the students studied pollination and how the bee takes pollen from the flowers and spreads it to other plants.
Grass was grown inside a sack and the students created their own grass head sculptures.
Some of the students studied levers and pulleys and put their knowledge to the test as they created their projects. One project explained how gears work. Another project demonstrated how electricity is made. One participant showed the blood lines and history of a race horse.
Other projects dealt with sound and how guitars work and how sound travels. One project described how a circuit is completed. One participant did an experiment with mice, she played loud music for the mouse and this slowed him down in his tunnel. When soft music was played the mouse was able to make his way through the tunnel more quickly.
One student collected bacteria from several surfaces and let it grow for a couple of days. She collected samples from the remote control, toilet, lunch room, her mouth, and several other objects. The lunch room and the remote control grew the most germs.
One project heated an aluminium can and then plunged it into water where it collapsed.
The younger students drew a picture of their favorite animal and did a report on that animal. They also created their animal with sculpting clay.
Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
The students tested their knowledge of their subject matter to come up with their conclusions about what they learned.
Several projects dealt with yeast and how it forms gases which cause bread to rise and also a demonstration of a balloon being blown up from the gas produced by the yeast was on display.
All of the students in the school visited each of the classrooms and listened to each other as they presented their projects and explained them to each other. The students seemed to enjoy this day of learning. There was also a time for the parents to visit the school to view the science projects.
Principal Brian Dawes said, "Throughout the day each class took turns presenting what they had learned. The first grade classes shared what they had learned about plants. They shared data that they had gathered from growing plants, pollination, growth rates and optimal growing conditions were explained by the first grades. Each second grade student had researched an animal. They each shared information about their animal, their habitat, and interesting facts. The third through sixth grade students each prepared a project related to their grades science core curriculum. There were a variety of topics some of which included home made electric circuits, sound waves, chemical changes with Mountain Dew, how record players work to transmit sound, the different types of trees in our mountains as well as light refraction, prisms and the physical properties of heat. Students had several opportunities to present their topics to students of various grades. They also were able to fill the role as an audience members as the science lessons were taught to them.
"It was very impressive to see the number of visitors that came to support our science day. This was not a competitive fair but rather a science show case where each student in grades 1-6 were able to showcase what they have learned about science," said Principal Dawes.

Preparing your manuscript
Follow the instructions to authors regarding the format of your manuscript and references.
Prepare your manuscript, including tables, using a word processing program and save it as a .doc, .rtf or .ps file. All files in these formats will be converted to .pdf format upon submission.
Prepare your figures at publication quality resolution, using applications capable of generating high-resolution .tif files (1200 d.p.i. for line drawings and 300 d.p.i. for colour and half-tone artwork). The printing process requires your figures to be in this format if your paper is accepted and printed. Useful information on preparing your figures for publication. For online submission, please also prepare a second version of your figures at low-resolution for use in the review process; these versions of the figures can be saved in .jpg, .gif, .tif or .eps format.
For ease of the review process, it is preferable that you insert the low-resolution versions of the figures and tables into the word processing manuscript at the appropriate locations in the document. However, if necessary, you may also upload these versions as separate files.
When inserting these low-resolution figures into the text of your manuscript, please make sure that any characters or numbers included in the figures are large enough to read. Tiny characters (such as numbers on a chart or graph) may not be easily readable in the text document and may be illegible in the .pdf created by the system.
Prepare any other files that are to be submitted for review, including any supplementary material. The permitted formats for these files are the same as for manuscripts and figures. Other file types, such as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and Powerpoint presentations may be uploaded and will be converted to .pdf format. It is also possible to upload LaTeX files but these will not be automatically converted to .pdf format (and are therefore discouraged). The journal staff, editors and reviewers will only be able to view these unconverted files if they have the appropriate software, which cannot be guaranteed.
- When naming your files, please use simple filenames and avoid special characters and spaces. If you are a Macintosh user, you must also type the three-letter extension at the end of the file name you choose (e.g. .doc, .rtf, .jpg, .gif, .tif, .ppt, .xls, .pdf, .eps, .mov).
Submitting your manuscript
Now that your files are ready, visit the online submission web site.
First, you will need to log into the system. Note: Before you begin, you should be sure you are using version 4.0 or higher of Netscape or Internet Explorer. If you have an earlier version, you can download a free upgrade using the icons found at the bottom of our login screen.
-If you know your login details (i.e. you have submitted or reviewed a manuscript on this system before), use your User ID and Password to log on.
-If you do not know your login details, check to see if you are already registered by clicking on the 'Check for existing account' button and following the on-screen instructions. If you are not already registered, you can register by clicking on the 'Create a new account' button on the login screen and following the on-screen instructions.
-If you have trouble finding manuscripts or have other problems with your account do not create another account. Instead, please contact Manuscript Central Customer Support (see below).
To submit a new manuscript, go to the 'Author Centre', choose 'Submit First Draft of a New Manuscript' and then follow the on-screen instructions. There are up to 12 steps for you to follow to submit your manuscript. You move from one step to the next by clicking on the 'Save and Continue' button on each screen or back to the previous screen by clicking on the 'Previous' button. Please note that if you click on the 'Back' or 'Forward' button on your browser, the information you have entered will not be saved. At any stage you can stop the submission process by clicking on the 'Return to Menu' button - everything you have typed into the system up to, but not including, the current screen will be saved. To return to the submission process you will need to click on the manuscript title in the 'Partially Submitted Manuscripts' section in your 'Author Centre'. You may like to have the original word processing file available so that you can copy and paste the title and abstract into the required fields. Please note that you will be required to suggest two reviewers to complete the submission process. If this is not possible, please contact the Editorial Office for further advice.
To upload your files in the Author Centre 'File Upload Centre':
-Click on the 'Browse' button and locate the document you want to upload.
-Select the document's designation from the pull-down menu. The designation choices may vary from journal to journal, but will always include 'Main Document' (your manuscript text).
-You will also be asked whether each document you upload should be considered for review, and the default is set to 'Yes'. Please be advised that, if you select 'No', the editorial staff will still be able to view that document and make it available to an editor or reviewer if necessary.
-Click on the upload button to submit your file. If you are uploading your manuscript file, and it is in one of the formats specified above, it will be automatically converted to a .pdf file for peer review.
-When the upload of each file is completed, you will see a confirmation window asking you to write a description of that document. For your Main Document, you can use language such as 'Manuscript Text' or 'Main Document'. For your figures, please include the figure number, e.g. 'Figure 1' or 'Fig. 1'. For any other supporting documents, please indicate clearly what the document is as well as its format (MS Excel, MS Word, etc.).
From the files you submit to make up your manuscript, the system creates and stores separately two types of documents:
-Files for Review. These will be the files viewable to the editor and reviewers of your manuscript. The system will automatically convert your text documents (any document in .doc, .rtf or .ps format) into .pdf and make that newly converted document accessible for review, leaving the originally uploaded document under the second column, 'Files for Production'. [Note: PDF files are readable with Adobe Acrobat Reader, available for download from the main login screen of Manuscript Central, as well as from www.adobe.com.] The system will also convert and save under 'Files for Review' all files with images (figures, charts, graphs, etc.) in.jpg, .gif, .tif and .eps format, converting them into smaller .jpg images, leaving the original files under 'Files for Production'. The smaller versions of your image will include in the filename '_sm.jpg'. The system will also save under 'Files for Review' any documents which are uploaded in formats that it cannot convert.
-Files for Production. These are all the original word-processor files and figures you uploaded. Not listed here will be those files you designated for review but submitted in a format that cannot be converted by the system.
After the successful upload of your text and images, it will be possible for you to view and proof your manuscript now located on the web site. The on-screen version of your manuscript you review at the journal's web site will also be the version accessed by the editor and the reviewers.
If the files have not been uploaded to your satisfaction, click on the 'Previous' button to move back to the file upload screen where you can remove the files you do not want, and repeat the upload process.
When you are satisfied with the uploaded manuscript then click on the 'Submit' button. It is not until this button is pushed that the manuscript and all of the associated information (i.e. contributing authors, institutions, etc.) is linked together and the manuscript is given a manuscript number. Once the manuscript is submitted it is not possible to undo the submission.
After the manuscript has been submitted you will receive an email confirmation stating that your manuscript was successfully submitted. This email will also give the assigned manuscript number, which is used in all correspondence. If you do not receive this email, your manuscript will not have been successfully submitted to the journal and the paper cannot progress to peer review. If this is the case your manuscript will still be sitting in the 'Partially Submitted Manuscripts' section of your 'Author Centre' awaiting your attention.
- If you return to your 'Author Centre' you will notice that your newly submitted manuscript can be found in the 'Submitted Manuscripts' area. Among the information listed there, the 'Processing Status' section provides information on the status of your manuscript as it moves through the review process.
Submitting a revised manuscript
Logon to the online submission web site as before and, in the 'Author Centre', click on 'Manuscripts to be Revised'. You will then see the title of any manuscripts you submitted that are under revision.
If you click on the manuscript title you will reach the 'File Manager' screen. Here you can upload the files that constitute your revised manuscript. To facilitate the production process, it is essential that you upload your revised manuscript as a .doc or .rtf file, and not in .pdf format.
- If you click on 'View comments/respond' you will see the editor's letter to you together with the referees' comments. You may cut and paste your responses into the text areas at the bottom of the screen.
Important: If your paper goes on to be accepted, your images will be required as high-resolution .tif files (1200 d.p.i. for line drawings and 300 d.p.i. for colour and half-tone artwork) or high-quality printouts on glossy paper. Useful information on preparing your figures for publication. Please note that publication of your manuscript will not proceed until figures suitable for reproduction are received.

In the wake of the horrific freight train crash in Quebec last week, emergency officials in New England say they are prepared for a similar incident.
The freight train which caused the fiery crash near the Quebec/Maine border was carrying crude oil. In the U-S., rail transport of the product has increased 24 times over 2008 levels. That dramatic rise is due in part to oil production through hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking". Some crude is brought through parts of New England including western Massachusetts.
"Main line tracks around here are inspected twice a week by qualified railroad inspectors of the various companies that operate them."
Tony Jewell is a Western Massachusetts-based railroad safety consultant. He says railways are safer than they were decades ago.
"All this activity is regulated by the Federal Railroad Administration: What the qualifications of the inspectors are, how many inspections a week they're supposed to be doing, the type of records they have."

TanGood product. It got me tan fast and looked as natural as any self tanner that I've ever used. When I put it on my face it makes my face glowy. The only cons are that in some light it can look a little orange, but that should be expected with any self tanner. The other negative was that if i put it on right before bed it will stain my sheets. I wouldn't let those two things discourage you from purchasing this quality product though!May 5, 2010Justine

Tanning Bed No MoreI was a big user of tanning beds, what can I say i feel better when I'm tan. After seeing reviews for Sun Giese'e Instant Self Tanning Lotion on Folica.com, I decided to try it out. I absolutely loveeee it. Tried to use alone first but much much better with lotion because of how quickly it dries. After only one use of this product, my college roommates commented on how tan I looked and of course I shared my secret. I have tried numerous self tanners but all tend to make me smell bad. This product I use after my shower, get ready after a few minutes and am ready to PARTY!!! After years of my mom yelling at me about how bad tanning beds are, I can truly say I will not be using one again as long as this product exists. Try it! Try it! Try it! If you don't like it u crazy girlMar 11, 2010Jerilyn / New England

The Best Self Tanner!!!!!!!!!!!Ive tried EVERYTHING, I have sensitive skin and always break out in hives or a rash of some sort from self tanners and not to mention the smell and orange color!! Nothing even comes close to this!! I have the darkest of the 3 for reference. It blends right into the skin like a dream, even with my gloves on. Dries in maybe 3 minutes and hardly has a smell whatsoever! I wake in the morning with the most beautiful shade...an olive based deep tan , no orange, no yellow, just perfect! It fades evenly no blotches or patches. I am hooked for life!! BUY IT!!Mar 22, 2009~ Tantastic ~ / Canada

Same Experience As Lh...This tanner looked fairly nice when it went on evenly. However, it is very hard to put it on evenly! Mixing it with lotion made me feel very greasy, and I had dark brown spots all over where it didnt mix/blend well (in particular I had dark blotches under my chin, above my armpit and the inside of my elbow). I would rather be blindingly white than blotchy and uneven. My search for a good sunless tanner continues...Jun 5, 2008Ae

Beyond The Best, Just Gotta Learn A Few Tricks..Okay, so Im about as white as you can get, and the ONLY thing I get from being in the sun is freckles and a nice little sunburn! Ive tried ALL the different brands, and have paid for the mystic tans (which is a timely effort, due to all the barrier cream application thats required if I dont want streaks). However, my Aunt gave me the leftover of a bottle of this stuff two years ago. Shes spent her entire life in tanning beds and lying by the pool, and tans beautifully, however shes just recently paid the price with a battle with skin cancer...needless to say shes changed her ways!! She gave me the bottle of Sun (in Ultra Dark) which I tried out on my stomach first to make sure it wasnt orange. I am not completely addicted to this stuff!! It requires a little work, but heres a few tips...1) Shower and shave FIRST2) Completely dry off and put plain lotion (nothing with fragrance in it) on the soles of your feet, your ankles, kness and elbows3) I keep the sink water running in the bathroom, and after application to each body area, use one of those little nail scrubbers and soap to get the stuff off my hands4) wear junky clothes till it dries...I put it on before bed, and let it dry for awhile before I hop in the sheets, 5) If you use it on your face, use a TINY amount and do your cheek bones, a light grazing on your forehead, and keep your neck okay with a very thin application, that way it looks natural, not like you dunked your head in something and came up brown, think about it, does anyones face get that dark while tanning? Nah, and when it does it looks BAD. I will add pics later, got a wedding this weekend I have to look nice for...itll give you an idea how great this stuff really is!!May 23, 2008Britten / Dallas, TX

Sun-best Self Tanner Yet!I have used every self tanner known to man. This product goes on very easy and dries pretty quickly. Your skin feels soft and the color looks very natural. You really do look like you are sun kissed-without overdoing it. It is not orange looking at all. You do need to wash your hands really well after using product. It goes on dark but dries to a natural color. Has a pleasant smell too. It is by far the best self tanner I have used in 20 years!Apr 23, 2008Christy / Nevada City, California

Easily Washes Off..Reading the high reviews, I decided to give this a try.After showering, I spent an HOUR applying this, blending, even mixing moisturizing lotion into my skin. After all that work, my skin looked streaky 10 minutes later. I washed my hands, but also my tan washed away. I had to re apply it to the back of my hands by rubbing them together. This morning my hands and part of my wrists are orange, and there are uneven spots and streaks on my arms.My legs turned out alright though.I guess tanning beds is the only way to get an even tan....Apr 8, 2008Lh

Best On The Market- I PromiseI have been using self tanners for 20 years. I started with my mom QT back in the 80s. I have literally used almost every brand on the market. This is the best. I would love to share my secret about getting the color perfect. First put regular lotion on your elbows, knees, and back of hands. This is to prevent the dry spots from absorbing too much and turning too brown. Then put heavy coat of self tanner on, and rub quickly because it dries fast. Then to make perfect blow dry your self for about 5 minutes. Only put on in the morning and not at night. Put on after shower. Dont put on before bed, it will rub off and become uneven. Follow these instructions, and you will have the ingredients for a perfect tan!Mar 4, 2008One Hot Mamma / Saratoga CA
