Comments about Emerson CF955WW, Midway Eco Appliance White Energy Star 54" Ceiling Fan with Remote:
This is one powerful fan! I installed this in my spare room of my house. This fan is like a helicopter: it's silent except for wind noise on higher speeds, moves a ton of air, and makes a whooshing sound on higher speeds. I definitely don't use all six speeds, only the first three, as the higher speeds blow papers around too much. The DC motor saves me money when it comes to the amount of energy it uses to run it, and it runs all day during the warmer summer months. The remote control is foolproof and easy to use, and the LED lights on the remote control indicate the current settings of the fan. The blades are made of high-impact, textured plastic so they won't droop if the fan is placed outdoors (my fan isn't, of course). The light kit is very bright, despite it is only two bulbs in a single dome. It was also very easy to install, as I had it up in about an hour. I love the Midway DC Eco, it's one of the best fans I have installed in my house! (:

Nice elegant design in white. Professional electrician installed so I don't know difficulty. Cons would include, exclusive control through the hand device, so even though the wall switch is 'on', the fan and light do not come on until switched on the hand controller. That means that if the batteries or hand controller go out, you can't operate this fan. Second, if I recall there was one light option (halogen?). Halogen I'm familiar with are hot and energy hogs. It would be nice to offer different or more energy efficient light (LED/LCD) options. Meeting these two options would have made it a good buy.
very well made

actually the higher speed settings are too much for an ordinary roomi guess it should be mounted on a ceiling at least 9feet high

Comments about Emerson CF955BS, Midway Eco Brushed Steel 54" Ceiling Fan with Light & Remote Control:
This is the second Emerson Eco that my wife and I have bought. We bought the first one from Delmar a year ago and were thrilled with it. Extremely quiet and well balanced, and of course energy efficient. Every professional that saw it was impressed how there was no wobble at all (on a 4 foot rod).We then ordered this one for our kitchen and had it installed a month ago.It is equally as quiet but there were a couple of areas where I was not as impressed as the first one:1. It has a slight wobble. Every professional I have talked to has said to not waste time trying to balance a fan like this - it is very time consuming. The wobble is not terrible - don't notice it until about the #4 speed setting, and then it is only minor. But we were spoiled by the first one and expected more, especially at this cost.2. The decorative metal shroud around it is slightly out of round and wobbles when it rotates. You only notice it when the fan is rotating and you can see it wobble. When stationary, you cannot tell. This is unrelated to the fan wobble as it is purely decorative. We considered asking for a new one under warranty, but it would be a pain to change (blades have to come off etc.). That being said it works fine and we would buy another if we needed one. You cannot beat the efficiency, and the styling is very nice and modern, and overall I am impressed by their engineering.

Costs a lot but well worth it! Looks great and works even better. Moves a lot of air if needed. Love the six speeds. Have it in a large bonus room with southwest exposure...gets lots of heat. Really helps keep room comfortable and reduces AC costs. Max speed only draws 17 watts.

I down loaded the manual before ordering the fan. This gave me the dimensions and I then knew to order a extension which lowered the fan to the optimum 7 ft from a vaulted ceiling. I couldn't be happier with the performance of the fan.
Awesome fan!
This fan is a great product. We had an electrician install it in our living room. It is very quiet and wobble-free. The electrician who installed it (and installs many fans) was very impressed how well balanced it was.It also looks great - very modern looking, and of course, per the specs, is super-efficient.It has 6 speeds. The lower speeds are very slow - probably just suitable for when you run it in reverse in the winter. In the summer we use speeds 4, 5, and 6 only. On speed 4 you hear no noise at all. On 5 and 6 you hear some air movement, but it is still very quiet.At the same time we installed a lower quality (smaller) fan in our den and the quality difference is huge. That fan wobbles even after spending a long time balancing it.I highly recommend the Emerson Eco - we are probably going to buy another one for our kitchen before next summer.

Very nice fan
By Grant
from Minneapolis
Very nice fan. Completely silent and very well balanced. Assemblyand installation was quite straight-forward [other than the muckingabout in the attic to replace the ceiling box with a fan-rated one --but that wasn't Emerson's fault].It has one annoying quirk that cost it a star in my rating: when youturn on the power at the wall, it takes the light several seconds tocome on. This isn't the CFL warm-up/startup time either -- theprovided CFL bulbs come on instantly when you turn them on via theremote. It seems to take the fan several seconds to "boot up" whenpower is applied before it remembers that the light is supposed to beon.Sometimes when you turn on the wall switch, the light immediatelyflashes on very briefly, then goes off for the usual 3-second "bootup" time before the fan gathers its wits and decides to turn it backon.That seems like a very obvious and rather amateurish design flaw in anotherwise well-designed fan.It would have been nice if the fan had a three-wire wall-controlleroption, since I do have an extra wire running from the switch box toceiling box. It's not a feature I would expect to find on a cheap fanfrom [@], but on a high-end product like this Emerson fan, itseems like an omission.

Compare and contrast: Penner & Staios
Jonathan Willis
November 13 2008 09:12AM
The Oilers have been a very interesting team to watch this year, without question. The goaltending carousel has taken an interesting twist, with incumbent Mathieu Garon falling behind Dwayne Roloson early, and then Jeff Deslauriers taking his chance and running with it. The defence has been surprisingly good, with the Souray-Visnovsky pairing looking very effective (and even worth their money) and Gilbert-Grebeshkov rounding into form. A slow start for the Kid Line has had different results for each, with Cogliano and Nilsson seeing reductions in role and ice-time, and Sam Gagner playing with Ales Hemsky and Dustin Penner. Cole has looked like a quality player, and MacTavish has finally given up on Fernando Pisani as a centre.
Vic Ferrari over at Irreverent Oiler Fans has a brilliant post up about a new modification to his statistical tool, timeonice.com. It allows anybody to look at combinations of players and see how they've done while on the ice together. Ferrari focuses in on Horcoff and Visnovsky, who have outplayed the opposition by a wide margin this season, and it got me to looking at other players. The two players I keyed in on were Penner and Staios, who I have been watching closely this season anyway. The reason I keyed in on them is because they have the best on-ice team shooting percentage of Oilers players.
Penner, to my eye, has been a reliable player all over the ice, despite his biggest limitation (foot speed), but hasn't been terribly effective at scoring. Penner's official stats line would seem to bear that out (15GP-3G-1A-4PTS, +6), but his scoring decline isn't really a decline at all. The difference is his distribution of ice-time. Last season, Penner scored at an even-strength rate of 1.34 PTS/60. This year, it's 1.40 PTS/60. Last year, Penner scored 25 of his 47 points at even-strength, with the rest coming on the power play. This season, Penner has all four of his points at even-strength; he's on pace for 22 points with reduced ice-time.
Ferrari's tool tells me much the same; although Penner has been lucky, with a .951 SV % behind him, and a 10.8 team shooting percentage when he's on the ice, his Corsi number (+24) indicates that the team has been spending a bunch of time in the offensive zone when he's on the ice. Given the match-ups I've been posting so far this season (where Penner has seen some difficult minutes), that's a really good number.
Ferrari's other interesting stat (which he's named ZoneShift) measures where a player starts and ends on the ice; a player who starts in the offensive zone five times more than in the defensive zone, and ends in the defensive zone five times more than in the offensive zone would be -10. It's a good way of showing whether players are helping the team create scoring chances for themselves or for the opposition. By this Measure, Penner is -8, starting in the offensive zone 25 more times, and ending their 17 more times. Not a dominant performance, but really not bad either.
Steve Staios, on the other hand, has had the wheels fall off. He hasn't looked bad, and his stats line (13GP-1G-1A-2PTS, +3) looks good too, but if we consider the context, we realize those numbers should be much worse. The shooting percentage with Staios on the ice is the best on the team (11.4 per cent), and unless we want to credit Staios' incredible play-making ability as the cause of that, we know it's only going to go downhill. The save percentage behind Staios (.955) is also incredibly good and unsustainable. Staios has been playing against third-pairing opposition with Jason Strudwick, leaving the toughest assignments to the top two pairings. His Corsi number is an ugly -46; the team has been heavily out-shot with Staios on the ice. On top of that, Staios has been starting most of the time in the offensive zone (11 more offensive zone than defensive zone draws) and finishing in his own zone (13 more defensive zone draws). The puck is moving in the wrong direction when Staios is on the ice, and the team has been getting outshot, all while Staios draws lower quality opposition. Given that he's signed for another three years at a rather hefty price (2.7 million per season), this is a very worrying trend.

*&+^#*&%*%(*^*^$&$*&^????????????????? What just happened? I think I blacked-out while trying to understand and analyze what I just read. If trying to comprehend that gives me a stroke I'll be none to pleased at OilersNation, provided I remember what happened. Stick to funny pictures and witty comments. My feeble, little mind cannot handle anything else.
Isn't it amazing that Penner has had this save percentage luck follow him around through the first 15 games and three different goalies!
November 13 2008, 10:36AM
...wait...Penner plays net?
I am very interested in reading a more extensive rant on Jeff Deslauriers, whats your take on him? Any ideas for the near future???
November 13 2008, 11:51AM
Ales in chains, towel boy,
Follow along now . . .
While save percentage is clearly a goalie stat, can you explain why a goalie's save percentage when certain F and D are on the ice is better than when other F and D are? Can you agree that it might be because of better defensive play of the players around him.
Same is true of shots for and shots against. Better with some players than others.
Mix it all together, and you can see that some players are helping the team win without it showing on the scoresheet.
November 13 2008, 11:52AM
or players who are killing you, even though they are racking up points.
November 13 2008, 12:05PM
Jonathan -
Didn't you and I argue early in the year that Staios was a good deal fiscally speaking? The guy has heart, but is really under sized to be handling the big power fowards. I thought that getting dropped to the lower pairing would make him more effective but as your numbers point out he's less effective.
Penner has looked great all year. Positionally strong and has been effective (defensively) on every line he's been on.
November 13 2008, 12:41PM

Yeah, I was pretty bullish on Staios this summer - the dropoff from last year to this year has bothered me, even though he hasn't really been stung to badly by it yet. I'm hoping he'll come around, but unless he's playing hurt, players his age seem to go in only one direction.
November 13 2008, 01:55PM
namflashback...are you absolutely sure Penner isn't a goalie? With a SP like that, he should be.
P.S. I'm being TOTALLY ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS.
P.S.S. That was sarcasm.
P.S.S.S. So was that.
P.S.S.S.S. That wasn't.
November 13 2008, 03:05PM
"but unless he's playing hurt, players his age seem to go in only one direction"
He could be playing hurt, very possible. I LOVED Steve Staios in '06, last year he had a tough run like 80% of the team did.
What worries me is that he is less involved with the play and team. It Seems Souray has really taken over that leadership role on the back end and deservedly so based on his play. Staios not having the biggest skill set on the team, I worry that unless he is counted on (for mins and leadership) his heart might not be in it. When he is fired up and passionate he could be as Jason Smith was for us, but without the heart and fire, he's just an expense and a liability waiting to happen.
Lets both hope he turns it around.
November 13 2008, 04:54PM
These stats are ridiculous. You're talking about a 4.25-million dollar player with reduced minutes (due to him not being able to secure a top 6 spot consistently) putting up a projected 22 points while being a pussy cat in hits and causing a lack of chaos on the boards and in front of the net. its totally Oilers-mentality to lionize players who skate around and happen to get some obscure defensive stalemate numbers out of line association. how many dollars of that 4.25 million do these stats equate to? 193k per point?
you can throw out all the stats you want to make him look adequate but the overall economic "optics" and expectations is a bust.
November 13 2008, 04:58PM
Death Metal Burnout:
Oh, believe me, I'm not arguing that Penner was worth the money spent on him - I'm arguing that he's improved from last season. Basically, I figure that if MacTavish would bite the bullet and put him on the powerplay (where he's vastly superior to Cole), he might even approach a reasonable cost.
His defensive numbers are worse than those of Horcoff, Hemsky, Cole, etc., but better than those of Dustin Penner crica 2007-08.
November 13 2008, 05:12PM
Incidentally, the link to IOF is http://vhockey.blogspot.com/. I'm not sure if I formatted it correctly in the article.
I'm not sure what game you watch, but by being reliable do you mean Penner has done nothing. His first two goals came in game one, and both were lucky. Since then he has one goal, and never makes a play that excites me, or even makes me mad...HE does nothing on the ice. Get involved now and then.
As for Staios, I'm curious does your stat take into account he plays lots of minutes on the PK where of course the other team would have more shots. And as far as the play coming back into his zone, what the hell does that have to do with him. He doesn't play in the offensive zone and rarely handles the puck. I'm sorry but that stat is a useless one in my opinion. Each his own.
November 13 2008, 09:36PM
I'd guess he's referencing his PK time and solid d play. Pens started pretty slow last year too. He'll come around. He IS looking a lot better this year.
5-2 to the leafs? JDDs wheels fell off... this team is confusing to follow.
November 13 2008, 10:33PM
Penner's really not an even-strength scorer; never has been (career high = 29 points at even strength). His stats line looks really bad right now because he isn't getting used on the powerplay, which is his offensive bread and butter.
That said, he's done a decent job of outchancing tough opposition, and I think he deserves credit for it. He may not deserve 4.25M per season, though.
As for Staios, I should have made it clear that those statistics are for even-strength only, not PK and PP. Basically, ZoneShift says that when Staios is on the ice, the puck leaves the opposition zone and ends up in his own zone more often than not - in other words, the Oilers don't have possession, they aren't keeping the puck in at the offensive blue line, and the Corsi number shows that they aren't doing a good job preventing shots.
When a defenseman starts in the opposition zone against third-pairing quality opponenets, his number should show more shots for than against. That it doesn't, and by a wide margin, is very bad news.
Penner and Staios account for roughly $7 MIL on the payroll.

15 projects
19 projects
22 projects
|3.S.J. Funding: The recommended budget was partially met, and the annualized recommended budget targets were met for all 3 years since the objective was introduced; therefore, the funding for this objective is on track. If this funding trend continues, the objective's recommended budget will be met within the recommended 5 year timeframe.
Progress: More than the recommended number of projects have been funded, with 22 projects supported in 2012. This is a growing area of research, and the current momentum in this area should be maintained.
Remaining Gaps, Needs, and Opportunities: An important technological need for this objective is the development of robust epigenetic measurements for small biological samples, such a blood spots. A possible barrier to research in this area is the availability and preservation quality of these samples. Large funded studies such as MARBLES might provide an opportunity to collect samples. If samples are made available, that may catalyze research in this area.

I propose and examine a new family of models for age-specific fertility schedules, in which three index ages determine the schedule's shape. The new system is based on constrained quadratic splines. It has easily interpretable parameters, is flexible enough to fit a variety of "noiseless" schedules well, and is inflexible enough to avoid implausible estimates from noisy data. Across a set of over two hundred contemporary ASFR schedules, the new model fits a majority better, and in some cases much better, than the Coale-Trussell model.
When fit to a recent Swedish time series, model parameters exhibit simple, regular changes over time, suggesting utility in forecasting applications. In simulated small-sample data the new model produces plausible ASFR estimates, with errors similar to Coale-Trussell.

Two Douglas County Sheriff's Office deputies were transported to the hospital after a crash at State Highway 83 and Russellville Road.
The patrol vehicle collided with a Toyota Prius and ended up in a ditch around 2 p.m. June 14, causing a closure of the road just a few miles north of the State Highway 83 barricade that was preventing motorists from traveling south of Powers Road because of the Black Forest Fire.
It took responders from the Franktown Fire Protection District 10-15 minutes to extricate a female patrol sergeant, who was riding in the passenger seat. The sergeant who was driving was taken away on a stretcher minutes earlier. Both suffered minor injuries and have since been released from the hospital. They are expected to return to work next week, said DCSO public information officer Ron Hanavan.
The Colorado State Patrol is investigating the circumstances of the accident.

New Zealand sealed a Test series victory over France with a dominant 30-0 win at AMI Stadium in Christchurch on Saturday.
New Zealand sealed a Test series victory over France with a dominant 30-0 win at AMI Stadium in Christchurch on Saturday.
The two sides will meet again next weekend in New Plymouth with France unable to overtake New Zealand's unassailable 2-0 lead, which came after a comfortable victory over their fellow 2011 Rugby World Cup finalists.
France showed good accuracy and discipline last weekend in Auckland but their lineout this time out particularly in the first half was shambolic; coming under pressure from New Zealand but also wildly missing their targets.
Ben Smith's breakaway try at the beginning of the second half summed up France's woes – putting sustained pressure on the New Zealand line but unable to find a breakthrough as they finished without a score in a Test for the first time since 1990.
Philippe Saint-André made several changes to his side following the first Test defeat, with Michalak returning at fly-half and young South African-born flanker Bernard Le Roux making his debut in the number seven jersey.
A late change for New Zealand meanwhile saw Crusaders lock Sam Whitelock come into the side for Chiefs second row Brodie Retallick, in an otherwise unchanged XV from last week's victory in Auckland.
The hosts made the early breakthrough – Ma'a Nonu's grubber finding Julian Savea behind the defence to rack up the game's first try in only the third minute of the match.
France struggled to control possession at the lineout and found themselves stuck inside their own half for much of the opening quarter, although some impressive defence on Nonu in particular prevented any further damage on the scoreboard.
Les Bleus had been on top at the breakdown in the first Test and continued that form early on in Christchurch, disrupting any clean ball for the All Blacks who enjoyed the majority of possession as France persisted to kick the ball away.
Two moments of inaccuracy then struck Frederic Michalak within a few minutes, a drop goal falling wide and then his first penalty attempt ricocheting back off the right-hand post and putting the All Blacks on the attack as Read countered. Pressure on Maxime Medard fielding a kick near his own line yielded a penalty for Aaron Cruden, putting New Zealand 10-0 up.
The All Blacks kicking game continued to press France back into their 22, but whilst the visitors defence was excellent, Dimitri Szarzewski's problems running the short lineout kept handing New Zealand possession five metres out. For every lineout error however, the work of Thierry Dusautoir and Louis Picamoles at the breakdown saved the day time and again.
With time ticking away in the first half the All Blacks defence repelled a French driving maul to the leave the visitors scoreless at the interval, New Zealand 10-0 up.
The All Blacks then delivered the knockout blow. Outstanding defence metres out from their own line for the first ten minutes of the second half forced Michalak into a drop goal, the inevitable chargedown leading to Savea and Ben Smith sprinting away for a length of the field score.
Losing Louis Picamoles to injury rubbed salt in French wounds as Cruden added a second penalty – New Zealand leading 20-0 with plenty of time left in the second half.
Looking for something to take towards the third Test next weekend, France introduced plenty of substitutes including Mathieu Bastareaud in midfield but fell further behind due to another Cruden penalty after 64 minutes.
Determined not to concede, New Zealand remained physical in defence and then sealed the win with a stunning score.
Attacking from their own try line, Conrad Smith's chip over the top was recovered by Cruden, whose slick offload to Beauden Barrett saw the young replacement canter in under the posts.
France toiled to find some points as time ran out but to no avail – a dominant victory for New Zealand who showed plenty of improvement from last weekend in Auckland and added some memorable tries to boot.

Cons: Cruden 3
Pens: Cruden 3

Chapter 24
Paul is accused of sedition—He answers in defense of his life and doctrine—He teaches Felix of righteousness, temperance, and the judgment to come.
1 And after five days
2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
3 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the
7 But the chief
8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
10 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
11 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
12 And they neither found me in the temple
13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the

19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
20 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the
22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When
23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
24 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

Nearly 24,000 unionized mail clerks and mechanics have applied for buyouts or early retirement as the cash-strapped Postal Service downsizes for long-term financial stability, the Federal Times reports.
Three years ago, in the depths of the Great Recession, about 18,000 workers represented by the American Postal Workers Union and the National Postal Mail Handlers Union accepted an identical offer: a $15,000 buyout plus retirement incentives for longer-term employees.
An APWU spokeswoman told the Federal Times, published by Gannett, USA TODAY's parent, that about 23,600 workers had applied for the buyouts by Nov. 28. The deadline for full-time employees was Dec. 3, but part-timers have until Jan. 4.
A USPS spokesman said the final number of those who accepted the offer would be announced only after Jan. 4.
Look for more early-outs as the USPS proceeds with plans to close or consolidate more than 200 mail processing plants in the next two years, a retired APWU president told the paper.
Postmaster General Pat Donahoe wants to cut the current workforce of about 528,000 to 402,000 by 2016.
So far this year, about 4,200 postmasters have accepted $20,000 incentives to leave, and almost 3,000 mail handlers took $15,000 buyouts to retire or quit.
Last month, the Postal Service reported an annual loss of almost $16 billion -- a record -- and forecast another big deficit for 2013. Most of the operating loss resulted from congressionally mandated early payments to cover costs of future retiree health benefits, something not required of private businesses.
Twice this year, the post office -- an independent agency that does not receive tax money but is regulated by Congress -- defaulted on health prepayments for the first time ever.

Speakers Focus on Media Suppression in Latin America
The story of media suppression and violence came to American University on March 26, with a sneak preview of the documentary Uncensored and a panel discussion about violence against the media in Colombia and Latin America. This event was part of the International Media Speaker's Series.
"It's important to remember what happened in Colombia, and even though conditions have improved there, how those methods were used elsewhere too," said Juan Carlos Lopez, who moderated the panel event. Lopez is an anchor for CNN en Espanol.
Students from the School of Communication and faculty from the International Media program participated in the event. Professor Rick Rockwell, the director of the International Media program, hosted the event. "Although a lot of our international attention is tuned elsewhere in the world, these discussions are important to show how violence is still a concern in Latin America and how it is used to censor the media," Rockwell said. "This documentary project is an important touchstone which shows how a right we take for granted in the U.S. is not so easily gained elsewhere."
"We are working on the post-production of the film right now," Stephanie Martinez told the audience at the event. Martinez serves as both the reporter and producer for the documentary project. "This film is very important and personal for me," Martinez said, as the documentary also recounts her own family's flight from Colombia.
During 2013, the International Media program's speaker's series has brought in programs that focused on South Asia, Latin America, and global environmental concerns.

Damiki Mamba 2 Jig
The streamlined head of the Damiki Mamba 2 Jig was designed for finessing through heavy wood and rock cover with fewer snags. The skirt's unique combination of both fine, round rubber and a fine wide rubber also provides the Mamba 2 Jig with subtle movement designed to trigger the feeding instincts of inactive bass. Available in a range of colors and sizes, the Damiki Mamba 2 Jig comes equipped with an ideal weedguard, trailer keeper, and incredibly sharp Viper hook.

Comments: I recommend this jig to anyone that fishes pressured lakes, the bass have not seen this jig and there choking it, also duel it up with Damiki knockout
From: Chase: AL 6/5/15
Comments: Water temp 48*. Mid of December. After watching Bryan Thrift wear em out on clear lake I decided to order some to try here in Georgia. First tried the 1/2 oz with the knockout trailer. No takers. Then downsized to the 3/8 oz, trimmed the shirt back, and downsized the knockout. Went back through the same area and immediately caught 10 spotted bass. The fish inhaled it! Came thru structure very well. Knockout was durable and held up very well. Highly recommend this set-up!

Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment with pure Moroccan Argan Oil protects from heat damage and leaves hair incredibly smooth and shiny. Argan Oil which is sometimes referred to as Moroccan Oil is produced from the kernels of the argan tree, found in Morocco. Cherished for its nutritive, cosmetic and medicinal properties, Moroccan Argan Oil is extraordinarily rich in things like natural tocopherols and vitamin E.
Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment instantly absorbs into hair, improves hair health and creates polished styles with brilliant shine. So unlike other products with argan oil (including Moroccanoil,) only Sedu polishing treatment provides heat protection from styling appliances and controls frizz. It also has UV protection and other ingredients like avocado oil to help keep hair healthier. Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment comes in an elegant shatter proof bottle with a convenient pump to control dosage for easier use.
Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment is already receiving rave reviews. Jackie C. claims it is "Like Moroccan Oil But Better Like" Whitney M states "I absolutely love the Sedu Anti Frizz Polishing Serum! It made my hair more manageable and a lot easier to work with. It helped by giving my hair a healthy looking shine. I love it!"
Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Phenyltrimethicone, Amodimethicone, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Fragrance, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Yellow 1, Red 17
Start with a dime-sized amount of the serum and apply throughout damp or dry hair, using more or less depending on hair length. Style as usual.
Works Better Than Anything Else I've TriedI have lots of fine curly hair and it has always had an issue with frizz. It doesn't matter if the day is hot, cold, rainy, misty.. anything. I've always had that lovely halo of frizz around my head. I tried Sedu based on the comments here and I have to say I was surprised. There is less frizz and it feels very soft. Instead of frizzing when I go outside it waves in the wind and doesn't look horrid when I come back inside. I put the serum on my wet hair, dry it and flat iron then put just a little more serum in my hands, rub them together and smooth them over my hair. I'm pleased with the product and will continue to use it.Feb 16, 2013GailHAIR TYPEAuburn / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

I Get FlyawaysI prefer Morroccanoil light over this. Since they both have argan oil, which is a natural thermal protectant, its basically the same thing. I found that this left a lot of flyways when I curled or straightened my hair. Smells great though, and lasts a long time. After using argan oils for hair, i find that it dulls your hair over time, and if you do not wash it almost everyday your roots will look oily even if you use a pea sized-dime sized amount of product, starting on ends and working your way up.Jan 22, 2013Aimee S.

Damaged "cotton Hair" Turned To SilkOver-colored, over ironed, during the holidays when I shampooed, my hair felt like dead cotton. I went on line to find something that would repair badly damaged hair and found the Sedu Polishing Treatment. I have fine hair which is easily weighed down with greasy products, so I wasn't certain about using oil, but I was desperate.
When my product arrived, I tried a "dime-sized" amount and saw a difference, but since I have long hair, I added two more portions. I couldn't believe it. I used it on my dry hair and the cotton turned to silk! I have the shine I had when I was 20 and I'm almost 70!! Everyone who sees me asks about my hair and I tell them about this tremendous product. And did I mention, IT'S NOT GREASY - it absorbs immediately into my hair. I'd give it 10 stars, but I'm limited to 5.Jan 18, 2013Loielou

Pricey, But Lasts A Really Long Time So Worth It.I always use Sedu's Moroccan Argan oil. I like this because its a good quality argan oil that penetrates the hair shaft to moisturize and really help with damaged ends. Now, it seems pricey but not really because a little goes a loooonng way. No matter the hair type. It is an oil so if you have fine hair use extra sparingly. The only negative is that if you apply heat, for example flat iron your hair, afterwards, the fumes that come from the heating of the oil ( I believe it's from the silicone or other similar ingredient.) are not good to inhale, especially if you're asthmatic (like I am). So what I do is tie a scarf or something around my nose/mouth while flat ironing and turn the fan on. I almost always have wheezing problems otherwise. I'm not saying its only this particular brand. I'm sure its whatever products have this particular ingredient because I looked it up.Jan 17, 2013Gemma / FloridaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Product In Demand - Atleast In My Circle Of Friends!My hair used to be a frizz disaster after I washed it. I started using this product and it definitely made a difference. I could feel and see the difference in hair after my first use itself. After all this time, I don't have to worry about using dryers or straightener to make my hair look presentable. Even if I do nothing to my hair, its smooth and pretty looking. The fact that the serum smells great, is another upside. My friends used to see me using and tried it. They loved it too. I bought this serum for 3 of my friends as a Christmas gift.Jan 8, 2013NeyaHAIR TYPEBlack / Dry Hair

Pleasantly SurpristedI purchased this product because my hair is really prone to frizz in humid weather. I don't use a flat iron but I do use a high end blow dryer. I put ONE drop in my hair when it was very wet and it is down to between my shoulder blades. Even one drop did my whole head. My hair is tangle free and sooo soft and supple. I'm going to use half of one drop and that will be perfect for me. I really like this product and will get again, however, I'll not need it for quite a long time.Dec 31, 2012ShirleyHAIR TYPEWhite / Oily Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Jury Is Still OutI purchased this product because of the good reviews. I used it for the first time today and I think I used a bit too much. My hair is fine but I have a decent amount. Anyway, it does make it soft and shiny and bouncy. I did not notice ANY scent. I also got Amika's hair serum which does have a great scent. This product and the other go a long way. My hair is down to my shoulder blades and I only needed one drop. I would advise using it while hair is very wet or dry but if used dry used a TEENY bit unless your hair is very thick and long. It will last me a long time but when I run out I will purchase it again. I have to use it more to really get a good feel for it. I went out tonight and it was snowing and my hair did not frizz so that's good. Don't want to make this too long but when I'm shopping, I like to see what others think of a certain product. Just trying to help. I like Folica. My orders always get delivered really fast. Folica...you guys are really okay.:) only I didn't get a receipt in the box. Maybe next time they could put one in. Love ya anyway! Keep up the good work.

With a Padres Veteran's Appreciation Card (PVAC), the San Diego Padres currently offer a "Veterans Discount" of 25% off any ticket in the ballpark, plus 50% off any ticket on Military Sundays. This offer is based on seating availability (excludes Opening Day, Lexus Home Plate Club, All-You-Can-Eat Seats and any other all-inclusive seating areas).
The Padres Veterans' Appreciation card (PVAC) is intended to be issued to military Veterans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces, but did not make the military a career - and therefore do not carry a DOD issued ID Card.
To qualify for a PVAC, an individual must be a Veteran of any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, or the U. S. Coast Guard, and show proof of such service at one of the 5 locations listed below. Membership in any officially sanctioned military organization such as The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), The American Legion, Disabled American Veterans (DAV), etc., also serves as proof of Veterans' status for the purpose of issuing a PVAC card to an individual.
The PVAC entitles the holder to the same discounts off regular season tickets as offered to active duty, dependents and retired military. To purchase tickets with the PVAC, the holder simply presents the PVAC with a picture ID card at the box office windows at PETCO Park.
Like the DOD issued ID card, the PVAC may be used to purchase up to 19 tickets at the box office windows for a single game. To purchase tickets for a group of 20 or more tickets with a PVAC, the holder of the card must go through the Padres Group Sales Office to purchase these tickets in advance of the game.
The PVAC can be obtained at the following locations:
County Veterans Service Office
5560 Overland Avenue, Suite 310
San Diego, CA 92123
The Veterans Museum
2115 Park Blvd.
San Diego, CA 92101
VA Oceanside Clinic
1300 Rancho Del Oro Rd.
Oceanside, CA 92056
Vet Center
2790 Truxtun Road
San Diego, CA 92106-6135
Veterans Association of North County (VANC)

Strike King Pro Model 4 5 & 6 Series Crankbaits
The Strike King Series 4 Crankbait is s medium-sized body with a wider wobble & an oversized bill to deflect off cover. Great for Mid-depth, heavy cover applications and dirty water.
The Strike King Series 5 Crankbait is a medium sized body with a medium wobble and medium buoyancy The Series 5 has a 2 degree diving plane to allow for lengthened casts and deeper depths. The "Go-To" crankbait for many Touring Pro's.
The Strike King Series 6 is a large deep diver with a zero degree diving plane. The Series 6 is designed to cast extreme distances. Systematic flat areas are incorporated to send out larger shockwaves, important at the depths to which this bait dives. Medium buoyancy.
|Strike King
|Series 4
|Series 5
|Series 6
Please Note:
The Sexy Shad colors may vary slightly between sizes!
Bass Elite Series Pro Mike Iaconelli used a Chartreuse/Blue Back Strike King Series 5 crankbiat to take fourth at Lake Guntersville in Alabama.
The Strike King Pro Model Series 6 Crankbait was one the baits KVD used to secure his fifth Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year at the Evan Williams Bourbon Trophy Triumph on the Alabama River in Montgomery, Ala. Kevin VanDam's two-day total of 30-06 was almost 8 pounds better than second-place Tommy Biffle, giving KVD the AOY title by a mere six points over Skeet Reese.
"One of my very best places was a super-shallow hard spot. That's where I caught them yesterday. I threw a Strike King Series 1 XS (crankbait) and Strike King Caffeine Shad (soft jerkbait). Today I fished the midriver with a Strike King Series 6 in sexy shad, and caught a couple on a Strike King 3 1/2-inch Shadilicious (swimbait) on a jighead." -Kevin VanDam (2009 BASS Elite Series Angler of the Year)

Customer Reviews
Comments: They are fantastic, most of them come tuned out of the box, and even if the bait isn't tuned it takes a few moments to tune it, no big deal, seriously. Fantastic for the money.
From: Michael: Bayonne, NJ 5/3/14
Comments: Been fishing SK Promodels for a long time. Probably buy 20-30 each season. Never once have I had one break, crack, chip, lose an eye, or need any significant tuning out of the box. I change the hooks and they are ready to catch em. I do indeed wear the bill out destroy the paint but that's fishing. Have no idea how/why there are bad reviews. They wear out but dont break and they are the gold standard of action.
From: Nate: WA
Comments: Ordered 3 and they all needed to be tuned and the ring breaks if you adjust too many times. ='(
From: Tyrone: Conway Chain Florida
Comments: Really nice cranks for a cheap price. Killed spots the other day with the series 3. Best color by far is green gizzard shad. Best crank for the money
From: Will: AL
Comments: bought a green tomato and blue chartreuse in series 5 and after one fishing trip it crack on the top eye to the butt...it only take one mistake to never buy strike king crankbait
From: Michael: Cal
Comments: All I can say i Ca-Ching!!!! Don't listen to the haters. This thing has had us in the money 3 out fo 4 tourneys this year.
From: Chucknwind: Grand Rapids, MI
Comments: First cast a sunfish hits it and cracks the body. Next time I cast another one out and I hit if off some rocks then the bill brakes off. So I just switched to my lucky craft and caught a 6-pound bass right off the bass. These strike kings suck. Get a lucky craft!
Comments: When they run true they do catch fish and work bottom cover well, but not my favorite for getting through deep timber. Also about 1/5 are wildly out of tune - getting hung up effects the tuning of these baits more than others. Hard to beat the look of their shad patterns though.
From: MJ: OKC, OK
Comments: Awesome cranks and a great value. Never have I had one that didn't run perfect out of the box and I've bought dozens of these baits, from the Series 1XS to the Series 6XD. Change the hooks, tie em on, you'll catch fish if there's fish in the area. Anybody who'd rather pay $15 for one Japanese crank when you can buy 3 of these is nuts.
From: BassinK9: Adairsville, GA
Comments: These are my go-to crank. Have never had a problem with one running out of tune even after grinding it into rocks all day. Great bait. And catch tons of fish and bigguns.
From: Cory: North Dakota, USA
Comments: These run fine. Use series 5 and 6 on Upper Chesapeake with no problems. Sexy Sunfish is my favorite.
From: Paul: Maryland, USA
Comments: These are the best crankbaits I have a lot of confidence in these baits the do need some tuning and if you beat it on rocks it will crack on under the lip but for the price you can't beat them I personally perfer strike king anyday over luckcraft
From: Jason: West Virginia, USA
Comments: By far the worst quality crankbait I have ever purchased. The crankbait was so far out of tune, it wouldn't even dive. Lure just ran sideways and cavitated every ten feet. This is the second of two that have run terrible. Spend the money and get a Lucky Craft, or even a Bomber would be much better. KVD must have the "special edition" ones, because these things are not worth purchasing.
From: Brad: New Braunfels, TX
Comments: Half of my series 6's sink like a rock after about 10 min of use. The other half need to be tuned. Only 1 in 4 run good out of the package. Buy a crankbait from a diff. company!
From: Adam: Wisconsin, USA
Comments:This bait will catch fish with no problem, it just needs the hooks changed.
From:Jase: Florida, USA

For most of us, comic book shops aren't merely a place for buying illustrated books about costumed crusaders, they're a haven, a safe place where we can talk about the titans which occupy worlds that only exist on the printed page and in our collective imagination.
They are a place to seriously discuss the pitfalls and triumphs of the dedicated super heroes we love and malevolent villains we loathe.
For the faithful, they have a sacred quality to them and nothing ruins that feeling of sanctity more than returning home from the local shop for some quality reading time only to discover that you've purchased, polybagged and boarded the print and paper equivalent of a Uwe Boll film.
Don't let that happen. Hear what comic expert Blair Butler has to say about this week's slew of releases and avoid breaking into another fit of nerd rage.
Also, a big "thanks" goes out to Golden Apple Comics who were kind enough to allow us to use their space to make the magic that is Fresh Ink. For all of your comic book needs and more, check out Golden Apple. Your inner fanboy will thank you.

News Release: BLM Begins New Look at Oil Shale Plans (April 13, 2011)
On February 15, 2011, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and BLM Director Bob Abbey announced a review of commercial rules for the development of oil shale resources on public lands. Secretary Salazar described the need to update oil shale plans and, if necessary update them based on the latest research and technology, the water demands of the West, and ensure they would provide a fair return to taxpayers.
BLM is beginning the process by:
In addition, BLM is working with the U.S. Geological Survey to analyze baseline water conditions in areas where oil shale might be developed.
The BLM is proposing to begin a new public planning process related to oil shale and tar sands. Specifically, on April 14, 2011, BLM published in the Federal Register a Notice of Intent to Prepare a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) and Possible Land Use Plan Amendments for Allocation of Oil Shale and Tar Sands Resources on Lands Administered by the Bureau of Land Management in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.
In the current Notice of Intent, the BLM will consider whether it is still appropriate for the land identified in 2008 to remain open for oil shale and tar sands leasing and development, in light of the nascent character of the technology for development of these resources.
The public is being invited to submit comments and concerns on potential resource issues that should be discussed in the NEPA analysis, including input on historic and cultural resources within the areas proposed for land use plan amendment.
The BLM will also hold public scoping meetings in the following cities in the spring of 2011: Salt Lake City, Utah; Price, Utah; Vernal, Utah; Rock Springs, Wyoming; Rifle, Colorado; Denver, Colorado; and Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Click on the map for a detailed view of oil shale and tar sands resources in Colorado, Southeastern Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. (1 MB PDF)

Congratulations to Frankie and Arveta Knuckles on their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Frankie and Arveta were married Dec. 1, 1962, at the bride's family home in Cahone. They established their home in Dove Creek where they raised their three children. The couple have farmed in Cahone for over 30 years, and the couple's seven grandchildren love to spend time with their grandparents at the farm. Frankie and Arveta are repeating the celebrated honor of a Golden Anniversary just as their parents did — Arveta's parents are Herschel and Eugenia Fosnot, wed from 1933 to 1983; and Frankie's parents are Doyle and Eva Knuckles, married from 1938 to 1988. A private celebration is planned at a later date with their children, spouses and grandchildren.

Printable Version FedEx and Roland-Garros
Official Sponsor of the French Tennis Open
Tennis at its best
The French Tennis Open at Roland-Garros is one of the highlights of the world tennis calendar and FedEx is delighted to continue its sponsorship of this prestigious event. Held at the historic Roland-Garros stadium in Paris, the French Tennis Open played on the famous red clay courts is one of the most challenging of the four 'Grand Slams' in tennis.
FedEx and Roland-Garros
FedEx is one of 10 Official Sponsors of the French Tennis Open and can display its distinctive logo and promote its brand in and around the Roland-Garros Stadium throughout the championships. FedEx is also the official and exclusive international carrier for all Roland-Garros products sold through the French Open website.
The partnership between FedEx and the French Tennis Federation, which runs until 2011, is a natural one. FedEx shares many important attributes with the globally popular sport of tennis, including speed, precision, anticipation and service. The agreement has been very beneficial to FedEx, allowing it to reach a worldwide audience of millions through TV and other media exposure.
Roland-Garros – some interesting facts
- The Roland-Garros stadium was built in 1928 and the French Open is now known officially as Roland-Garros.
- The stadium was named after a former French tennis player who was also the first pilot to fly over the Mediterranean Sea.
- In 1968, the French Championships became the first Grand Slam tournament to go 'open', allowing both amateurs and professionals to compete.
- The French Open is the only one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments that is played on red clay, or terre battue. The ball bounces much higher on clay than on grass and players often have to hit the ball at shoulder height.
