Spurs suffer Kaboul setback
Tottenham assistant manager Steffen Freund says defender Younes Kaboul may not be fit until the end of February.
- Related Content
Kaboul emerged as arguably Spurs' best centre-half after a series of confident displays last year, but he has not kicked a ball this term after suffering a knee injury in pre-season.
It had been hoped that the France centre-back would be fit for the start of 2013 but Freund confirmed on Thursday that the 26-year-old could have to wait at least six weeks before he is available for selection.
"He's on a six-week programme from the medical staff and starting to work now with the fitness coaches," Freund told a press conference.
"It's difficult to say now which game he will be back but hopefully mid- or end of February."
Although Spurs sit fourth in the Barclays Premier League, Kaboul's confidence and leadership would help eradicate the problem of conceding late goals which has cost Andre Villas-Boas' men dearly this term.
Freund is therefore looking forward to having the Frenchman back in the ranks next month.
"He's a really important part of Tottenham," the German said.
"He has a lot of leadership qualities and we are waiting to have him back as quickly as possible.
"He is frustrated. He likes to be involved - especially when you are successful."
Freund did offer some good news from the treatment room, however.
Left-back Benoit Assou-Ekotto, who has not played since September, is fit to start Saturday's FA Cup third-round clash against Coventry.
Villas-Boas is likely to rest a number of his star players after a gruelling yet successful festive period for the north London club.
One regular who is likely to retain his place is Emmanuel Adebayor so the striker can continue building his confidence after finding the net for just the third time this season against Reading on New Year's Day.
But Tottenham may then lose Adebayor for up to a month due to the African Nations Cup, which begins on January 19.
Togo play Niger on Saturday and then hold a six-day training camp in Ghana before the tournament, yet it is unclear whether their star striker will meet up with the squad due to a row over unpaid bonuses.
"We don't know yet (whether he will go)," Freund said. "We have to wait.
"I think the preparations of most of the teams have started already.
"We would love him in the squad and that he would not go to the African Nations Cup, but it's a massive tournament and we respect his decision."
Given that Villas-Boas' only other recognised striker is Jermain Defoe, Spurs have been linked with a host of other hitmen, including Leandro Damiao, Fernando Llorente and Willian.
Yet Freund appears to think Spurs have enough firepower to cope should Adebayor be absent for a while.
"We have been successful with and without him in the team," Freund said.
"He was injured for eight games and we had a really good run without him, and with him we are strong.
"We have Defoe and Clint Dempsey, they can play up front. So can Gylfi Sigurdsson."

More than 200 wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans participated in the 2014 edition of the event. The games featured five U.S. teams representing the Army, Marine Corps, Navy/Coast Guard, Air Force and Special Operations, with the Army winning it's first-ever Chairman's Cup, an award given to the branch that has the best cumulative performance. Teams competed in seven sports including archery, cycling, shooting, sitting-volleyball, swimming, track & field and wheelchair basketball.

Comfy&Stylish Wedges
"Glad I was able to grab a pair in my normal size 7. It's a bit disappointing that the left shoe slingback strap was slightly looser than the right shoe's strap upon arrival. Other than that, I love the style of these & the level of comfort provided, given their height."

Comfortable heel
"I have rheumatoid arthritis and normally wear comfort shoes. I needed heels for an events and these shoes were recommended to me. At the end of the three hour reception, my feet did hurt. These were the first time to wear them though. I have a feeling I just need to adjust to the shoe. Wore them today with handknit socks. Got lots of compliments."

"I love shoes, unfortunately, my feet don't share the same as my heart does... I have unbelievably wide feet and to knock it they are big. I have learned to deal because well they work BUTTTTTTTTT I have a hard time finding shoes, let alone stylish cute ones at that! SO of course when I find a pair I can take a chance on, I will buy a pair in a few colors. I love these shoes!!! They are comfortable and cute, stylish and if you have a big foot they also make them appear smaller... Very satisfied with this purchase (And DSW, because I have been blessed so far :) )"

but if all it is is LUCK, then i'll have to admit; it had never been ALWAYS for lack of luck ... /// CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
my first ever experiences with blind-pulls were actually collectible trading cards, effin decades ago ... i remembered scoffing at my fellow comicbook-buying frens for buying a pack of trading cards without knowing what's inside! but of coz i gamely
i longed for "the chase", and everything in my life revolved around "complete sets" - and all that, without the benefit of the www and toy-forumboards (urgh) - hell, i even had
... some say "focus" is the key to a prolonged hobby-experrience, which i do not disagree with ... but what if everything was desirable and pweeeettyyyyy? *muahahaha*
i claim not to be hardcore, for i've met folks that have been, by the case-loads, who LIVED for the chase, and ONLY the chase, regular sets be thrown or given away (*gasp*) ... i was at the precipeice of abject assimilation, but i managed to turn away in time ... *cough*
even if you asked me now, which ones are the most precious or most valuved, i'd say ALL of them are .. but on the same token, they are all WORTHLESS ... becoz at the bottom-end of the secondary market, they are only worth as much as your memory allows you of having them in the first place, IMHO.
years later, im still surrounded by stacks and endless stacks of loose and complete series (all self-packed and collated in clear-plastic) and i realize, maybe i wasn't that lucky when it came to blind-pulls, innit? and i "swore" to myself not get involved with anything that needed "the luck of the draw" ... *heh*
and even years later, when i begun down the spiraling path of collecting toys and vinyls (late-bloomer lah - and i have Michael Lau to blame ;p), i "discovered" Bearbricks. and dammit, they are blind-box-pulls too (i adopted a more prevalent and "healthier" tactic by Series 2 with loose / complete sets) ... and the vortex started and i was sucked-in hard ("swear" only for trading cards what! LOL) - and no, i've never been regarded as lucky with blind-boxes as well ... dammit. but of coz once in an eon (or two) i'd be teased by LadyLuck with a choice chase (i am such her bitch it aint funny no more)
ironically, for trading cards, tracking down the chase wasn't as hard as some folks may think, especially when it came to embossed-foils - there was the extra "bump" in-between cards you'd be able to feel inside the blind-packs, or that slight tinge of friction that regular cards did not have, when it comes to lenticular-holograms, or early autographed-cards ... and even the smoothness of straight-up holograms felt differently amidst regulars ... it was all in the touch and a tinge of audio-efficiency, IMHO.
but when it came to Bearbricks? every box weighed the same. all forms were similar. encased within a blind-box, can you really hear the difference by rattling the box? would this heavier-feeling box be the one you want? ah, but different-shaped figurines were different, case in point Kidrobot's various shaped+sized figures :p
of coz thru time, folks found different ways to trump the chase, by poking a tiny hole thru the foil-packs, or as some local shops do, literally just open the darned box, take out the chase and pop the regulars back in and tape down with cello-tape! not even hot-gluing it or whatever ways to conceal the fact that they have already been opened! on the other hand, there are shops who DO open them, but choose to label the boxes with their contents, regardless of chase or regulars! (not gonna tell ya who tho muahahahahaha)
it's a dangerous mindset, blind-boxes, becoz they are affordable and appeals to the innante gamblers latent in all of us (generalizing, of coz) - AND im not even going into the clickety-click realm of Gashapon Machines, mind ... and there really should be a Blind-Box-Anonymous where collectors can go to for counseling or solace :)
but every once in a while, i'd be curious enough to pop into a toyshop (i actually avoid them now, in lieu of my oft lamented financial-deficency) and i'll find myself pawing an open case of blinds, shaking them, listening for differences - a habitual mechanizm, i reckon (heh) and every once in a while, when i have a bit of spare change in the barren wallet, i'd pick one box up and head towards the cashiers (instantly regretting the purchase which i cannot afford) and finding out laterz i'd just pulled another regular dud, not even of a design i liked, much less a chase ... we never do learn, do we? or at least i never do ... heh.

They would have possibly slept under tree cover during most of the day and hunted early morning or at night, reducing their daytime thermal load and conserving water, while their active metabolism would have allowed for some sort of stalk, attack and takedown, even without a diaphragm, which I think was still lacking (yes?). If all four of the visual pigmentreceptor sets (absent in most true mammals but found in reptiles) were still present in these beasties, with a tapetum lucidum they could have stood up or braced up on a tree for some additional height and looked out for night movements of possible prey.
Is there any evidence for or against an external ear, even a simple one? If not, could they have put their heads to the ground and gotten low frequency sounds of herds moving around?

I'd guess they were still tetrachromats, but the tapetum lucidum is less certain. It's a feature that pops up independently in several distinct lineages, and with different structures and mechanisms in each. I don't think there are many, if any, sclerotic rings preserved for synapsids of this grade, so it's difficult to estimate pupil size. The size of the eye socket isn't as diagnostic as one might expect, since soft tissues can vary considerably in bulk.
They did likely have an external ear structure. The early eardrum of stem-mammals was a membrane stretched across a concavity on the rear surface of the lower jaw. It's likely this would have been protected by folds of skin, possibly stiffened to remain open during jaw movement (which is rather more dynamic overall than the skull-based jaw abductor muscles of diapsids) with loops of cartilage. I've rendered a simple ear canal, kept clear of dust by hair follicles and sebaceous glands. External ear pinnae would be descended from this early cartilaginous tube and loop.
The presence of a diaphragm is difficult to be certain about, but a gradually-tapering ribcage more similar to pelycosaurs than to, say, dogs, would suggest it at least didn't have a fully-mammalian breathing mechanism. I suggested a monitor-style hunting method for this reason, since modern perenties employ buccal pumping (with highly modified cervical ribs and hyoid bones) to supplement their gait-limited breathing mechanisms while patrolling. There's a possibility that some large gorgonipsids were venomous, however, and it may have been a sequential ambush-hunter/scavenger like modern Komodo monitors. Perhaps it charged into a huddle of pareiasaurs sheltering from the heat, envenomated the slowest to rise, and spent another day or so tracking down its meal wherever it eventually succumbed.
I think feline/hyaenid style nighttime stalking is hard to support without firm evidence of strong night vision ad acute hearing.

Central Examining Boards have been created to regulate over specific trades. There are 6 boards:
Each Board consists of 6-9 members, 3 from the League of Cities and 3 appointed by the County Commission. All members volunteer their time. Each Board is required to meet at least 8 times per year where they, among other duties, review applications, hear complaints and hold disciplinary hearings.
In addition to assisting the Central Examining Boards in issuing Certificates of Competency, we administer a licensed contractor program and an unlicensed contractor program. Both of these programs include receiving and fielding complaints, performing investigations, compiling case files, holding disciplinary proceedings, issuing fines and performing mediation.

It's the star's first appearance since buzz spread that she and Brad Pitt got married over the holidays.
While Jennifer Lopez was busy striking an Angelina Jolie pose at the Grammys on Sunday, the real Angelina Jolie was hitting a different red carpet.
The star looked lovely in an Atelier Versace dress as she posed for cameras at the 2013 American Society of Cinematographers Outstanding Achievement Awards at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood.
Jolie, 37, presented a lifetime achievement award to Dean Semler, director of photography on Jolie's In the Land of Blood and Honey.
It's her first appearance on a red carpet this year, and the first since buzz spread that she and Brad Pitt had tied the knot in the Caribbean over the holidays — something that has never been addressed by the couple.
Is that a wedding ring we spy on her left hand?

The Emery County School Board met for its Jan. 5 meeting. The first item on the agenda, after the pledge of allegiance, was the swearing in of two re-elected board members. They are Royd Hatt and Marie Guymon Johnson. The election of board officers was held with no challengers. Laurel Johansen is re-elected to be the Board President and Royd Hatt will be the Vice President. Jared Black has been re-appointed to be the Business Administrator.
The consent agenda included warrants, minutes from December 2010 meeting, financial reports for November and December 2010, and was approved.
Personnel actions: two teachers, Brandee Stoddard an aide for Cottonwood preschool and Melinda Durrant for half day principal/half teacher for Book Cliff Elementary, were discussed and approved for hiring. A teacher Ken Krausen was approved for Green River High School, but declined due to the inability of finding housing in Green River. Krausen has looked at the possibility of commuting from East Carbon to Green River. Supt. Kirk Sitterud stated, "There is no available housing in Green River right now. The homes and apartments are full in Green River. It is sad to lose a very qualified teacher for this reason."
Approval of water share leases for 2011 was given and will be the same as last year with the exception of the student built house in Castle Dale which requires two water shares.
Supt. Sitterud pointed out that Principal Thomas Baltzer has had some real health issues this past year. "We appreciate having him back," said Sitterud. Principal Baltzer reported to the board, the receipt of an award in November from the Utah State Office of Education indicating that Huntington Elementary is recognized as a recipient of the 2010 Utah High Performing Title I Schools Recognition. This recognition is provided to Utah Title I schools that are able to demonstrate high levels of student achievement. Ferron Elementary was also recognized as a Title I School and received a similar award. The teachers and administrators worked very hard with students and parents to achieve this award.
Principal Baltzer then presented the award to School Board President Laurel Johansen who accepted the award and thanked Principal Baltzer and his staff.
Principal Baltzer said, "We have set up a recognition tower in Huntington Elementary. We call it a treasure tower. Ferron Elementary also has one. We have the teachers, the faculty, staff, lunch ladies fill out a slip on each outstanding child and that child gets a token to put in the tower. At first everyone thought the tower took quarters and they were putting in quarters in hopes of getting a toy. When the fellow comes to replace the toys, he will be asked to return the quarters. We have had more than 210 recognition slips. A copy of the recognition slip goes home to the parents and a copy stays with us. "We have a tremendous faculty and staff. I love each one. When I am done I will miss them but I would not have any other faculty and staff. I have been to the other schools and I like what we have here."
The board thanked Tom for all that he does at Huntington Elementary.
Sitterud gave the Superintendent's report. He started off introducing a new education program from the state. The name of which is Common Core. "Many of you have seen things and heard things about the Common Core. More information can be found on the internet at www.corestandards.org or www.commoncore.org. This is the talk of the state of Utah now. Common Core will replace the current language arts and math curriculum. This has been adopted by about 38 states. They are now working on a Common Core Assessment. This is basically a national test. The test however will not be ready for about four year," said Sitterud.
The implementation of Common Core will start next year. The state has scheduled all grades K-12 for Common Core Language Arts. Next year Common Core math will be implemented in grades six-nine. It is not known as yet how this will affect staffing.
In Language Arts there is not see a big change, but the math curriculum will change dramatically the content and the names of the courses. Basically seventh grade math will become an algebra class. The eighth grade class will be learning algebra and geometry. The public needs to be aware of these changes and what they will mean.
Supt. Sitterud said, "The real challenge will be to provide help for those students that are having difficulty learning math. We will have to decide how to deal with those challenges, possibly through after school programs, summer programs or some sort of lab classes. This may require additional staff without additional funding. Common Core is not a bad thing. It will be extremely good for our students. When you hear students talking about Math 7 and Math 8, these are not low level math classes, these are algebra and geometry classes. The rural schools are excited about this program and are preparing for implementation over the next three-four years. Tests will be administered to assess how well the Common Core is accomplishing our goals.
"The Governor's budget recommends some increased funding for education. He is recommending just more than $50 million statewide for growth and money to continue the kindergarten program. We hope to extend the kindergarten program for an additional three years. You have to understand that the governor proposes a budget and the legislature does with it whatever they want. Do not expect any more money than what you already have. The governors budget is encouraging but optimistic. The current WPU or weighted pupil unit or money allocated per student is $2,514 dollars," said Sitterud.
Supt. Sitterud reported the School Activities Association recommended Darrell Gardner 3A Coach of the Year for 2009-2010.

No, We're NOT Taking Rush off the Air

It amazes me that there is still a vocal minority of people calling for the removal of Rush Limbaugh from the airwaves following the 'slut' remark from a few weeks back. While I'm certainly not condoning Rush's language choice on that day, he's apologized publicly and the comment did not break any FCC guidelines. Was it 'right' for him to say? That's up to you to decide. But it's no reason to stifle his voice in the conservative world.
Also amazing to me, is the number of people not from the Buffalo area who are simply reacting to some organized online effort who are calling from afar to ask that we remove Rush from WBEN. They've never heard WBEN and don't know anything about the station and its committment to Buffalo and western New York. If you honestly think Rush should be removed from WBEN and are a regular listener to WBEN, I welcome a conversation with you.(
There are seemingly endless choices for people to make in their radio and online listening and I'm not sure why so many people who can't stand what Rush stands for, listen to him every day. Why torture yourself? The fact of the matter is that the Rush Limbaugh show is the most listened to radio show in the world. A lot of people like him and identify with his beliefs. And I understand a lot don't! But to simply call for someone's ouster because his beliefes are different from yours is simply not what free speech is all about.
I'm sorry Rush said what he said. I(WBEN and Entercom Radio) certainly don't condone it. But let's focus on the important matters that face this country and really demand more of our focus and attention.

No, We're NOT Taking Rush off the Air
Feel free to let me know what you think....
thank you
thank you
Keep Rush On
Tim, Thanks for taking the stand you did. Even though Rush shouldn't have used the word he did, I totally agree with him. Why is it that liberals can say anything they want but the conservative voice should not be heard? By the way, for years I paid for my own contraceptives, never once thinking that someone else should do that. The problem with a large segment of society today is that they think they are entitled to everything that some people have worked 40 years to get!! This government doesn't have to campaign to be re-elected, they just have to keep giving the store away!! The votes will follow. Thank you, Carol
Keep Rush
If a bad choice of words were a reason for execution, Washington would be EMPTY! Thanks for standing up to the critics, Rush has always told it like it is!
Agree with this one.
Thanks Tim for your reasoned response. By far, most of the haters are on the left. the venom which they spew in their disagreement with those of us who support the Constitution as written by our Founding Fathers is far stronger and than anything Rush says. These are the Socialists who would bring down our Constitution in a millisecond if they could. They want to have a Constitution which promotes their point of view and no one else gets a say. Rush was wrong in what he said but I'm willing to give a repentant sinner the benefit of the doubt whether leaning left or right.
Hush the Rush
Really !! This guy is a joke, Try and talk that way about people like that in the real world (work,church,school, etc.) and see what will happen. (Fired, suspended,expelled,)He's just another shock jock that stirs the pot. In fact you have a Rush wannabe heading your 3:00pm show. Thank God for music stations like Swing1070 real for entertaiment, not ignorant talk show babble you barf out to your listners. And by the way, whats with the commercials with the church lady, man your sponsors must be cheap, Hamburg overhead door, Brothers of Mercy, some landscaping company, etc. Some like a church choir wrote those.
I love conservative talk radio. I wish there was more.
Thank you so much for taking a stand for free speech. I respect you greatly. I will continue to listen to Rush faithfully. Judy
The truth hurts...
Thank you so much for keeping Rush on your station. It shows you have integrity and believe in "free speech"....not like the left that only believes in it for THEIR side and want everyone else censored or silenced. Keep up the good fight.
Shorter Tim Wenger
We want to appeal to peoples' fears, prejudices and ignorance because that's what the market demands. Who needs advertisers?
Clearly, they never did listen to Rush.
Anyone, liberal, conservative or in between, with any brains and sence of being honest to oneself should be able to decifer what he / she hears on the radio as straight talk, showmanship or out right B.S.. Anyone who listend to Rush should find it easy to realize it's not BS. He backs up almost everything he says !!! Haters of Rush NEVER listened to him at all.....Too bad, they lied to themselves.

We need Rush
Liberals call Rush a "hate monger", "racist", "sexist", etc. But they never offer any proof to back up these words. The message I hear from Rush is that people should take responsibility for their actions and stop looking at the goverment to bail them out. He wants everyone to be productive members of society. The sad truth is that government entitlement programs only make people more and more dependent on them. Sooner or later, this will all come crashing down when our nation's creditors no longer wish to foot the bill. Then, you will see the devestating suffering the liberal nanny state has created.
Rush is right
Rush tells things the way they really are, like it or hate it. Since he is not arm of the govt controlled liberal media, he doesn't have to spoon feed us their agenda. How many times do we need to hear how beautiful Michelle is, or how poor Barry inherited a mess from Bush. Last I checked our debt & unemployment have gotten much worse on Barrys watch. If you give people things for free it removes the motivation to work, that's is why this socialist is going to get re elected. He has a growing voting base of govt recipiants. Recipiants don't care about taxes since they don't pay any. In fact, if it means more benefits for them, they are for increased taxes. Mike in Hamburg
Kudos to Tim Wenger and WBEN for their support of Rush Limbaugh
It would be tragic to lose Rush's powerful voice in support of American exceptionalism. Everyday Rush reminds us that our country's greatness is not the result of big government handouts. Quite the contrary, it's the result of exceptional individuals using their God given talents to full advantage. Many of these exceptional individuals immigrated to America motivated by political freedoms that would permit them to make the most from their lives. Native born Americans were similarly motivated by these same political freedoms - freedoms that were uniquely American. These are the freedoms (protections from government) set forth in the American Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. Rush is a classic example of American exceptionalism – he has a unique media talent that, every day, draws millions of listeners that want to hear the truth about what made this country great.
Keep him on
Thanks WBEN for not being a member of the simple minds club and bowing to the fringe of our society. Long live Rush, the constitution and WBEN
Rush, on wben is the only voice different from every station, newspaper, tv, thats available in western ny. Liberalism runs rampant in this area dominating just about everywhere. We need some balance, and Rush is it.
Toronto Listeners say keep RUSH on the air !
Mr. Wenger, great decision ! Fluke was a plant and Rush innocently took the bait...honest mistake on his part. Why isn't the mainstream media coming down on the other leftie commentators that deingrate women. BTW a huge audience tunes into his show each & everyday...especially with students. Merci & keep RUSH on
How dare you. Rush is perfect and we obey his every command.
Great response Tim.
Much like their notions on "tolerance" and "civility", the left haters seem to have rather one-sided and selective indignance. They're likely incapable of doing it with integrity but if they could do a gut check on themselves, and revisit many others who have said far worse and that were not been the recipient of such (feigned) anger,they'll no doubt find MANY and greater deserving individuals of their targeted indignation. From Bill Ayers to Bill Maher, the Reverend Wright to Nancy Pelosi. Get Rush off the air. Give me a break. Who appointed you the decision maker for the station? And as Tim said rather carefully, if you don't like it, you don't have to listen. Stop being a pawn of the left. Quit bitching. Do something productive. Anything you like in this great country of ours. But most of all, stop being the ridiculously and conveniently huge hyprocites that so many of you are.
Keep Rush on the air
im, thank you for your thoughts, the left wants free speech for everyone but the people they disagree with. Rush is a beacon in the storm and we need his voic

The Caruso Doesnt WorkI have bought 3 units the lst was the pro it worked for about 2 years went out then I got the travel unit, it went out in a few months, then they sent another one to replace I tried this am to use it and it doesn't work! I like the steam idea and now have a whole load of the rollers and no unit, I am going to send it back and get the pro unit and hope it works because I like the steam concept.....I just wish they would fix the probem!Oct 20, 2009Sue

I Have An Ancient Caruso......one of the old, square, purple ones that requires salt, and that thing is still going strong. I am having to replace the foam on the rollers, but a few folks in the Tips column suggested using cheap foam rollers, and Im going to try it. I truly love this little gadget! I had straight hair when I was younger, and it held a Caruso curl better than any curling iron. Once middle age struck, my hair got wavy, and now, Im having all new fun with my Caruso. I dont know how well the newer Carusos work, but my oldy-but-goody is just that. Based on its history, Id recommend a Caruso to EVERYONE.Jun 28, 2009Julie / Florida

It's The Absolute Best!I have been using this system for many years. I have long thick hair. I set my hair two or three times a week. The set is on the tight side right after setting but it gradually relaxes and I can easily go two or three days on one set. I do use a little hair spray, after brushing it out I flop my head over and spray my hair on the underside and then flop it back over right side up arrange it and spray lightly on the top side.There is a learning curve on using this set as you have to be quick and get it in your hair while the curler is still hot. I can set my entire head in less then 5 minutes which is way faster then trying to use a curling iron on my think mop and it works so much better. I actually take my setter with me to the hair salon after getting it cut and colored because these curlers do a much better job then the hair salon can do with there curling products. Ive had the same hair stylist for 30 years and she gets a kick out of showing people how fast I can set my hair and how lovely it turns out. Thanks for a wonderful product. I believe that the people on here that dont like it must have not used it enough to get fast with getting them in your hair. I cant recommend them enough. Im ordering a new set today!Jun 22, 2009Nancy Manthei / Petoskey, MichiganHAIR TYPEChemically Treated Hair / Long Hair

Love ItI started using this in the early 90s when I was a majorette. I am in AL and our fall is hot and humid. We all know that hairspray and humidity do not mix. I like the Caruso because I only have to use a minimal amount of product, so my hair is soft, not sticky. The curl stays alot longer than with curling irons or hot rollers. My hair is straight and fine, and it does not want to hold curl. I do think the original with the salt was the best too, but have good luck with my second unit.May 6, 2009Sandy / AL

Another Love/hate RelationshipI, too, have used this product forever. The original that used salt in the water was fabulous and lasted for years. Like other reviews here, the more recent models (and Ive been through about 4 or 5) do curl your hair to perfection but the units only last about 6 months. One unit even did a mini-explosion on my bathroom counter! The company did replace it at no charge. I keep buying them because they do the best job, hands down, but I have to give the actual unit a failing grade. I wish they would go back to the original model. I dont mind adding salt if it adds some longevity to the product.May 1, 2009L. F. T / AZ

Hard To Rate, Love And Hate RelationshipThis is a great product for all hair types,excellent on relaxed African American hair. When this product first hit the market it was fantastic and more expensive. The idea of using steam and not burning your fingers or scalp, amazing. However, I guess with the product being mass produced some of the quality went out the window, unfortunatly. If you only use a very little steam on relaxed fine to medium hair, and a bit of moisturizer sparsly on the tips of your fingers you can reset your hair every morning without damage. However, I bought the original hairsetter and it worked for almost 2 yrs. The second one I purchased lasted less than six months. I sent it back to the manufactor, Helen Curtis. This went on 2 more times. I went crazy mad not knowing where to turn. I finally just gave up purchasing the steam unit and now I use a standard humidifier works just as well and lasts forever. I use the Caruso replacement rollers couldnt live with out them.Mar 22, 2009Donna / Southern California

Junk!I have purchased 2 of these curlers for a missionary friend in the Dominican Republic. She has used her original set for years and loves the results she gets with them. The 1st set NEVER WORK! The 2nd set LASTED LESS THAN 6 MONTHS! Now I am ordering a 3rd set. It has been a large investment for me since it costs a fortune to mail them to her and she has to pay $50.00 to pick them up on top of the postage I pay. So needless to say, it would be very expensive to return them. You expect things to work when purchased. Needless to say I find this brand to be major JUNK. She did not ask for a 3rd set ... but because of the work she does, it is my contribution to her. If these fail ... I will make a decision to purchase another brand. By the way, the Thrift Stores are loaded with these curlers ... so make your own conclusion.Jan 19, 2009Deanna / California

Two meth labs discovered in motel
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Va. - We're told two 'shake and bake' labs were discovered Saturday afternoon.
Washington County, Virginia Sheriff Fred Newman tells us crews were called to the Red Carpet Inn on Lee Highway in Bristol.
Sheriff Newman says someone called about an odor coming from the room and police discovered two meth labs.
Newman tells News 5 deputies arrested 31-year-old Robert Dean Riley and 36-year-old Tara Gwyn Rosenbaum.
Both are charged with two counts of manufacturing meth, one count each of conspiracy to manufacture and possession of meth and one count of possession of meth precursor.
Sheriff Newman says they seized two 'shake and bake' meth labs.
Newman also says both Riley and Rosenbaum were living at the motel.

Skip to comments.Rubio is talking less about immigration these days
Posted on 08/20/2013 12:53:43 PM PDT by Jim Robinson
PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) On a recent swing through the most conservative parts of his state, Sen. Marco Rubio told a packed banquet hall at the St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club that major policy issues were threatening the American dream: onerous taxes, burdensome regulations and, above all, President Barack Obama's health care law.
But all Doc Washburn wanted to know about was immigration.
The local radio talk-show host asked the Republican senator why he had worked with Democrats on legislation that would give the estimated 11 million immigrants here illegally an eventual path to citizenship.
"We know you, and we've always loved you," Washburn said, "and yet you're pushing this and it's a real problem for us."
The exchange and Rubio's reluctance to raise the issue after spending months advocating for comprehensive immigration reform underscore why the potential presidential candidate has undertaken a sort of image-rehabilitation tour, promoting his conservative bona fides to crowds in Florida's most Republican bastions.
Once embraced by the tea party, Rubio's name can now elicit boos and catcalls at rallies. And since he began championing immigration changes, his standing has slipped in some polls.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Too late cannot un-ring the bell.
sorry, too late, the mask has been exposed.
I will NEVER forget Rubio's embrace of amnesty. And I will NEVER forgive him for it—no matter how much and strongly he shifts into a "see, I'm really a conservative" poseur mode.
I think few of us will be fooled again by him.
"that he's simply giving the U.S. House its own space to tackle immigration"
And THAT SHOULD have been his response to the enticements of that snake in the garden of Eden Juan McCain and his little pansey Mini-Me Graham when they FIRST approached him.
He will have a hard time living this down unless he clearly aannounces he was wrong - something he has not yet done.
If he had any balls he would answer the question honestly. His big money donors told him they wanted amnesty, and Schumer and McCain assured him the bulk of his constituents would get over their anger enough to vote for him in the next election. That, and he could expect an influx of campaign donations from the big money donors, enough to give him a substantial advantage over a challenger.
politicians are never honest.
Nothing in politics is honest.
There you go, smudging my rose colored glasses. LOL
I suspect his bribes, er, campaign donations haven't dried up.
If the big money is still there, he'll be headed nowhere.
Marco should've taken a lesson from Juan McCain.
I saw through "Ricky Ricardo Junior'' here from day one. Sorry, but it's clanish type of mentality for Hispanics' race first America later.
"An honest statesman doesn't fear an armed populace''.- Thomas Jefferson. No wonder the majority of these guys are trying to eliminate the 2nd. Amendment.
Don't forget, do get truthful responses from Rubio, you need to ask your questions in Spanish and you need to insist that Rubio answer in Spanish.
do = to
Maybe he should start off his townhall meetings singing "Mississippi Girl".
It's what the flaming liberal country Singer Faith Hill did when she decided because she was a "star" she could tell us all what we should think about social issues. It was written to try to quell the backlash she got from her comments.
Bingo! McCan't and Grahamnesty used him for their purposes and I'm sure enjoyed discrediting a Tea Party favorite in the process. Rubio, however intelligent he may be, showed lack of common sense in getting suckered in by this.
One cannot contemplate the tragic fall of Marco Rubio from the heights without a real feeling of sadness for what might have been. He was a man of extraordinary gifts who committed two major sins, one forgivable and one unforgivable.
He committed the forgivable sin of bad timing. His defection could not have come at a worse time because it put him not just on the wrong side of the issue of immigration but on the wrong side of the ledger. The party is in the process of purification and it is looking for leaders whom they can trust for the very survival of the movement and of the nation. At a time when the party perceives John Boehner and Mitch McConnell to be selling us out on the issues of Obamacare and immigration, Marco Rubio's betrayal comes at a time when conservatives are marking their paladins to be either with us or with the enemy. Rubio sold out at a time when conservatives are looking to clean house and are in no mood to forgive.
Rubio committed an unforgivable sin far worse than bad timing. Rubio betrayed that he would risk the entire future of conservatism in America in order to advance his career. We conservatives equate the future the conservative movement with the future of the nation. Rubio consciously put the nation at risk for personal gain. The issue of immigration is an existential importance for conservatism and for the Republic. Rubio would cost us our sovereignty, our economic future, and any hope for preserving sanity in the polling booths for at least a generation. By the time America recovers from the immigration flood consciously created by the Democrat party to stack election demographics for generations, there might well be no grand American experiment to salvage. The issue of immigration is just that serious.
Rubio has aligned himself with the elitists and against conservatives. He has done so at the worst time. In doing so he risks everything. We simply can no longer tolerate self dealing politicians who will sell us out. Rubio can never, ever be trusted.
A done bun can't be undone Tricky Ricky.
But keep 'splainin' what you really meant .....
I am thinking that a more appropriate headline might be:
"Rubio having trouble scraping immigration reform off his shoe"
I suspect that Rubio bought into the idea that in order for Republicans to win elections, they had to court the Hispanic vote. Right after Romney lost - this was the battle cry from the GOPe. Did they really believe this or was it a ploy to satisfy their big donors and LaRaza? Let's not forget this despicable group favors John McCain.
I believe that Rubio got hood winked by those who have been in the Senate much longer and are snakes in the grass - but for him to jump on board with Chuckie Schumer showed us that he isn't ready for prime time.
Rubio seems like an intelligent guy - yet failed to do his homework on this issue. He failed to check the pulse of the American people, instead relying on those who didn't have his best interests at heart. He possibly believed this was a winning issue for him for 2016. FAIL!!!
I heard Hannity saying Rubio is a Conservative! Rubio killed that horse when he advocated amnesty.
I don't think there are very many FReepers today that would dispute that thesis. His record on immigration is not much worse than Obama's. But I've always taken the view with George Bush that even though his head is empty his heart is white and as that applies to immigration I think he was prompted by the highest of motives. He abhors racism, he was raised in Texas by a Mexican nanny, his nephew is Mexican-American. In short I think George Bush really believed that by failing to vigorously enforce those laws he was doing the right thing for his country.
I cannot honestly say that Marco Rubio is not similarly and nobly motivated. He is after all a Cuban-American. But my objection goes to the idea of betrayal. We hire our representatives to be our paladins and we entrust them with pursuing our interests not to sell them out to the other side. Whether Rubio thought he was portraying himself as a statesman, whether he thought he was banking the Latino vote for 2016, or whether he simply thought he was doing the right thing, I cannot say but I can say that he betrayed the conservatives who sent him to Washington.
We have entered an age when the country is at stake and we conservatives can no longer tolerate betrayal. The Mitch McConnells and the John Boehners are the figureheads but they are replicated up and down the line in the Republican ranks. Rubio's betrayal was all the more painful because his fall from grace was so dramatic and so steep and the damage is so grave.
I still think this was a setup. Rubio was going to be a Tea Party favorite. Clean, hispanic, intelligent, he was everything the Tea Party wanted and everything the GOPe hated. The 2016 Presidential candidate that not even Hillary could beat.
Then the GOPe made him an offer he couldnt refuse. Come along with us and not only will you be the 2016 candidate, but be a visionary and bring home the Hispanic vote for the GOP. If you don't, you are done.
In for a penny, in for a pound. Not only will he not attract the Hispanic vote, he will lose to a rat in the general and McLame and Grahmnesty will be nowhere to be found.
The establishment ruined Rubio for the Tea Party.
Rubio made those choices, he did it to himself.
Personal responsibility is a conservative trait.
Maybe we will all forget what an amnesty loving RINO he is. :-)
It won't matter even if he clearly announces he was wrong. He still does not believe he was wrong and before all this, when he was supposedly against amnesty, he was lying.
His problem isn't just that he is an amnesty supporting traitor. It's that he is a certifiable liar. We suspected there was something wrong with his stance on illegals before he got elected, but he promised us he wasn't for amnesty. Some people voted for him because they believed he was never for the illegal agenda. Some people voted for him even though they knew he had been for illegals in the past because of his promise to be against illegals now. But he reneged on that promise.
There is nothing he can say now to reverse what we know because his word means nothing. He cannot be trusted.
Rubio told us that legalization was not the priority and turned around and said, in Spanish, that legalization was the priority. D*** liar.
Rubio is a con man, and a fraud. He got big money for selling out. His war chest is at an all time high.
He is either that or extremely gullible.
He is a slick lawyer/politician. Not gullible. Evil yes.
He spoke to a leftist hispanic group in spanish, and told them he would push for amnesty and citizenship for illegals. He got caught. He's done.
"its clanish type of mentality for Hispanics race first America later."
Ditto for the black population. Race always comes first — even before God.
Oh, well, Marco, I am sure everyone will forget about your pro-amnesty stance if you just choose to not bring it up anymore.
Marco Rubio—Senator from Aztlán
To use a 1960's expression, my heart bleeds purple peanut butter for El Reconquistador.
Say whatever you like from here on in, Rubio, I won't be taking you seriously again, and there are more entertaining speakers out there if that's what I'm looking for.
My problem with him is he preached 1st the border will be closed
And we All know that is crappola
No, he should sing La Internacional.
In for a penny, in for a pound. Not only will he not attract the Hispanic vote, he will lose to a rat in the general and McLame and Grahmnesty will be nowhere to be found.
The establishment ruined Rubio for the Tea Party.
If he's that naive, then he's unqualified to be president of the United States. I quail at the thought of someone that gullible going head to head with Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping or King Abdullah.
Its what the flaming liberal country Singer Faith Hill did
As they say about SOME women arond here, usually on the female teacher/sex with student threads:
There are a few people entitled to their own opinions that are contrary to conservatism...She could easily be forgiven.
IF the Rubes had remained true to his core conservative values (no matter how deeply hidden they might be) he would have been a ferocious opponent for any lib on the ticket. You, I believe, have it so right. Rubes was set up. They had to knock him down early....and they did. Of course, he was the one who chose to close his eyes and jump of his pedestal and has no one to blame but himself. McLame must be so proud that he at last got to gig Sarah big time. What a wimp of a male. Go Sarah, go Sarah, go Sarah!!!!!
"Suckered in"? You don't pitch something as heinous and repugnant as amnesty for illegals, unless you've willingly jumped in with both feet.
Rubio's not a fool. He's a turncoat.
The issue is too important and too basic to who and what we are as a nation, for even a first term Senator to simply be hoodwinked into supporting the death of the republic.
No, I'm afraid that Rubio wholeheartedly agrees in principle with the left on illegal immigration and amnesty. He wasn't pushed - he jumped in with both feet.
No one will forget lil'Marco when we have to ''press 2 for English''.
That day will be here before we know it.
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Late to make it up some how.Should been more concern about America's state of affairs and spending less time trying to brainwash us on how urgent immigration reform is needed if we intend to save our country

Pitch perfect
To many in the crowd, it was just another in-county division game. Ingomar and West Union battled for seven innings with the Falcons coming out on top. But the pitching performance of one Ingomar senior quickly became the talk after the 9-0 win.
Tyler Dowdy can name the times he's thrown a no hitter. Twice just last season, allowing one walk in each. But Tuesday night's performance topped any game he has had on the mound, as he threw a perfect game, allowing not one Eagle batter on base the entire evening.
"My goal this year was to get that perfect game, and my defense played awesome behind me," Dowdy said. "About the fourth or fifth inning, I started noticing that no one was getting on base as well as the score. It started running through my head, and I started hearing some whispers throughout the game."
Ingomar built a 4-0 lead after two innings, and by then Dowdy had struck out four of six West Union batters. The Falcons added three more runs in the fourth with Cade Hall, Joseph Broom and Kelton Hall bringing in runs.
Ingomar added two more runs over the final two innings, and defensively, head coach Andy Wilbanks credited not only the efforts of Dowdy on the mound with 10 strikeouts, but his entire team for their play behind their pitcher.
"That's where it starts, good pitching. Anytime you have a kid that can go out there and throw a perfect game, it makes my job easier and it makes the team play harder for him," Wilbanks said. "I think this is probably the best defense we've played all year. I'm proud of him for commanding the strike zone and throwing three or four pitches for strikes all night."
The accomplishment for Dowdy comes only a year after an injury that sidelined him for several weeks last season.
"I feel like I'm better now than I've ever been," he said. "I've worked out really hard last summer to get back in shape, and Coach Andy and them did what they needed to to get me back and helped me a lot."
The Falcons cannot afford to focus on just one performance, as a date with Myrtle in division play is coming up next Tuesday.
"We're in a good spot, but we have a long way to go. Our division is a grind with us, West and Myrtle, so it's all about whoever shows up," Wilbanks said. "You can just as easily lose as you can win. We're going to try to press on and get at it and hopefully we'll have some more success later down the road."
Now at 9-4 (3-0), Dowdy noted how much the team has grown, as they continue to focus on their goal of reaching state.
"We started out really young, and these guys have grown up," he said. "Everyone is taking on their own roles, playing for Ingomar and not for themselves. The goal is always to go all the way, we want to make it to state."

The Dixie State women's soccer team out shot Notre Dame de Namur nine to five in the opening half, but saw the host Argos pepper 17 attempts in the second half. Three NDNU shot found the back of the net helping the home team secure a 3-0 win in Pacific West Conference play.
Dixie State dropped to 1-3-1 on the year and 1-1-0 in the PacWest, while the Argonauts evened their season record and tallied a win in their conference opener (3-3-0, 1-0-0 PacWest).
Junior forward Jennifer Mason (Springville, UT/Springville) took nearly half of the Red Storm's shots in the opening 45 minutes. Two shots hit the post, evading Dixie State from scoring in the first half. Stacie Gubler (Las Vegas, NV/Palo Verde) made saves on both shots she saw in goal.
In the second half, on the other hand, NDNU turned the proverbial tables and fired multiple shots toward DSU goalie Cecilee Horlacher (St. George, UT/Snow Canyon). The Argos took a 1-0 lead three minutes into the second half on an unassisted goal from Adriana Cortes, her sixth goal on the year.
Then in a span of just under three minutes, NDNU ballooned the lead to 3-0. Cheyenne Kisthardt dribbled a through ball past Horlacher in the 65th minute and Marisa Schneider cashed in a cross just inside the post for the three-goal advantage.
Amy Rich saved all five shots she faced in the first half Kelsee Berryman completed the combined shutout with six saves.
Mason led all players with eight shots, including three on goal. Ashley Wade (Saint George, UT/Pine View) put all three of her attempts on goal, as well.
Dixie State concludes their longest road trip of the year on Saturday at 10 a.m. Pacific with a match at Dominican.

New York Times bestselling author Phillip Margolin returns to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C., with an exciting thriller about a ghost ship and the President's nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Sarah Woodruff, on death row in Oregon for murdering her lover, John Finley, has appealed her case to the Supreme Court just when a prominent justice resigns, leaving a vacancy.
Then, for no apparent reason, another justice is mysteriously attacked. Dana Cutler one of the heroes from Margolin's bestselling Executive Privilege is quietly called in to investigate. She looks for links between the Woodruff appeal and the ominous incidents in the justices' chambers, which eventually lead her to a shoot-out that took place years ago on a small freighter docked upriver in Shelby, Oregon, containing a dead crew and illegal drugs. The only survivor on board? John Finley.
With the help of Brad Miller and Keith Evans, Dana uncovers a plot by a rogue element in the American intelligence community involving the president's nominee to the Supreme Court, and soon the trio is thrown back into the grips of a deadly, executive danger.
With nonstop action, Supreme Justice picks up where Executive Privilege left off, putting readers right back where they were on the edge of their seats.
"Entertaining. . . . Thriller fans who like to see the villains receive their just rewards and the good guys come to no harm will find this a comforting read."
-Publishers Weekly
"[An] intriguing glimpse into the inner workings of the court. As always with Margolin, roller-coaster plot propels the action along, with plenty of twists and turns to keep things interesting."
-The Portland Oregonian
"Margolin's latest is a fast-paced yarn connecting a Supreme Court vacancy, a death row inmate, an ex-CIA chief and an attack on another Justice."
-New York Post, Required Reading
"Get ready for a page-turning thriller. . . . [It] will keep you guessing until the last page."
-National Examiner
"A good old fashioned political thriller. . . . Supreme Justice is a simple pleasure. . . . An exciting and enjoyable mystery."
-Huffington Post
"Margolin creates a tangled plot. . . . The ending was deliciously devious."
-Bellingham Herald
"A wry twist ending . . . puts a legal cherry on top of this satisfying gulp of Supreme Justice."
-Clarion Ledger
"Margolin has come up with a winning recipe for success: by combining his legal expertise and experience with attention-grabbing characters and surprising storylines, he's assured himself a secure spot in a genre known for keeping people guessing."
-Cascadia Weekly
"Action speeds along through 65 fast-paced chapters with more bodies along the way. . . . But don't think you can solve this one on your own. Just when you think it's wrapping up, there is another surprise."
-The Oklahoman

Things to do at the All-Star Break
January 30 2011 08:03AM
I hate the All-Star break. It doesn't count in the standings, there's a long layoff between actual games and at my age any alteration in schedule makes me grumpy. Fortunately, there are some things to do, some of them involving good old hockey.
Fort McMurray plays at Sherwood Park in AJHL play today (according to their schedule); the Oil Barons have an 18-year old named Carson Cooper who might be a player. He's headed for Yale fall 2012. If you get NHL network they're running some great Gretzky games to mark his 50th birthday and much of it involves the Oilers.
If you like to read, I suggest Stephen Brunt's excellent "Searching for Bobby Orr" and Jim Devellano's "The Road to Hockeytown." If you're of a certain vintage the Orr book offers wonderful insight into our hero (who incredibly remains so all these years later) and the Red Wings book is a stellar glance into just how hard it is to build a hockey team when you're crappy. It would serve as a reminder to Oiler fans that this thing isn't going to turn around overnight and there's a really good chance many changes will occur (front office and roster) before Stanley returns to his rigthful home (speeding down Jasper Ave at about 50 clicks in what will be called a parade but will look like a jailbreak).
If you're going to watch a hockey movie today make it Slap Shot. There are other hockey movies. Anyone remember Faceoff? A portion of it is here: www.youtube.com/watch. I don't watch the Miracle on Ice because it isn't about Canada. That might seem ridiculous but that's how I feel.
I have the Oilers 10 best games on DVD and might watch G7 against the Flyers or the Fernando blueline PK game, but I won't watch the All-Star Game. It doesn't count in the standings.
There are of course other pursuits. The hardwood floors could use some attention and a long winter of throwing items in the garage has taken its toll. I'm meeting a buddy at Timmy's in awhile for coffee and then we'll see.
If you tuned in for a prospect update, they're all killing it-still. I don't know what voodoo Stu do but it's working. Oh, and Sean Couturier seems to be responding to his recent fall down the 2011 draft rankings. He had a monster game the other night and his boxcars now read 40gp, 23-47-70 for the season. Run through Desjardins equivalencies it would be 82gp, 13-27-40. Taylor Hall's NHLE entering his draft was 82gp, 17-29-46. Couturier isn't going to be Taylor Hall, but he's a terrific prospect.

Picture my world
Sunday 23 October
Celebrate Children's Week at the National Gallery of Australia with creative activities and workshops for children and their families or carers.
Children's week is an annual event, which is held Australia-wide and aims to raise awareness of the needs, interests, rights and achievements of children, and to assist young people to realise their individual potential. It seeks to celebrate the rights of children to enjoy childhood and also to share each other's situations through demonstrating their talents, skills and abilities.
The Gallery is excited to participate in Children's Week and invites children to enjoy a range of activities, including art-making workshops and interactive tours held throughout the building. The workshops encourage children to use their imagination and draw what they think might be inside or underneath two sculptures, create tiny temples out of paper, draw or make a collage map of an imagined journey, or build a sculpture in a shoebox. The workshops are designed for children aged 4–12 years, with some flexibility, and are free of charge.
30-minute interactive family tours will also be available on the day, with our well-informed educators and voluntary guides. Alternatively, make your own path by collecting a children's activity trail from the front desk to explore the national collection, conservation of works of art or the Sculpture Garden.
The current exhibition in the Children's Gallery, Imagining Papua New Guinea, displays vibrant prints and drawings in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Papua New Guinea's independence, and provides children with the opportunity to create their own works in response.
Come and celebrate creative, happy kids on Sunday 23 October.
