This is continued from Find freedom from PCOS in 9 natural ways (Part-1)
#6 Try Pranayamas and Mudras to cure PCOS
Did you know that mudras and pranayamas can actually cure PCOS? Among mudras, Shankha Mudra and Vayu Mudra can help, and among pranayamas, Nadi Shodhan Pranayama and Brahmri Pranayama can come to your rescue!
How Do I Do Shankha Mudra?
Shankha Mudra can be done by wrapping four fingers (except the thumb) of your right hand around your left thumb. Now bring the tip of your right thumb in touch with your left middle finger. Let the other three fingers of your left hand be parallel to the middle finger. Your hand will form the shape of a conch shell (also called shankha). Perform the mudra at least 3 to 4 times a day for 3 minutes each round.
How Do I Do Vayu Mudra?
Vayu Mudra can be done by letting the index finger touch the mound of the thumb and letting your thumb touch the medial phalange of your index finger while leaving the other three fingers straight. Perform the mudra at least 3 to 4 times a day for 3 minutes each round.
#7 Take A Break
Have you been longing for a break? Is it getting difficult to balance life and work? Are you bored of your routine? If all of that's true, maybe it's time to take at least the weekend off and rejuvenate yourself. Your body and mind needs relaxation. You can relax at a spa or meet friends you haven't met in a long time. How about a meditation retreat with friends to a place you love? All this can make you feel cared, and that is what you need most at this time.
You may head to Panchakarma centres close to your home for healing therapies like Marma. It detoxifies your body and balances your energy centres to relax the body and mind. Craniosacral therapy and Virechna are also known to help. You may consult a Nadi Parikshak before you opt for these therapies to choose what suits your condition best.
#8 Make Yourself Available
The days you feel low are the days when you must move out and serve. You needn't go far; service can be offered to people wherever you are. Why not be of help to a colleague in office, to a friend in college, or a poor kid on the street. You just need to make yourself available—it is easy to find reasons and people you can help. When you are busy helping others, you forget your worries and anxiety. When your presence brings a smile to others, you feel content.
#9 Keep Yourself Well Informed
Do you read websites and conduct research about your health concerns often? From the research you do and the experiences you have, you can start your own blog, where you can post what you feel, how you deal with PCOS, and what has helped you along the way! There are many like you who are dealing with PCOS. Your story might turn out to be an inspiration for them!
Research says if something is pinning you down, you will feel better if you pen it down. According to research conducted by the American Academy of Pediatrics, writing down your life experiences and emotions can benefit your health remarkably and help you feel better about the life you are currently leading.

Maple Leafs identity: Part II - "The underdog fetish"
Cam Charron
July 18 2012 06:40AM
In our brief search to find the "identity" of the Toronto Maple Leafs , Danny, JP and Ryan posted yesterday about the desire of Torontonians to cheer for a tough, blue-collar team reminiscient of Conn Smythe's desires back during the good ol' days. Today, Andrew Bates, Steve Dangle, Matt Wright and Cam Charron all offer their takes on what it means to be a Toronto Maple Leaf.
If we were to talk about the Maple Leafs "identity" in the John Ferguson Jr. / Brian Burke era, after wiping away tears, we would all come up with the same word: Losers. That's not to say that any of the players were losers, just that when they were put together on the ice they, as a group, formed a loser. Now, losers is a fairly PG word for what the Leafs have been since the lockout and we would like to call them worse names but it's not exactly an identity.
To me there are two identities to a hockey team: good and bad. The good teams find a way to win when they're down and the bad teams find a way to lose when they're up. I don't really believe that being a team that is tough to play against or being a team that finds ways to win when they aren't at their best are identities. Those are just traits of really good hockey teams. Good hockey teams are tough to play against and good hockey teams are likely still better then most teams even when they are playing at 80 per cent.
If you were to ask me what identity I would like the Leafs to have, it would be a quite simple answer, "They need to be a good team". I don't care if they hit more then the other team. I'd actually prefer if they didn't because that means they have worse possession numbers then the other team. I don't care if they are a team that comes from behind in the third period a lot because that points to a team that has played poorly in the first two periods. All I ask from the Leafs identity is that they score more goals then the teams they play against. That's an identity that we can be proud of.
People have said this current Leafs team has no identity. False. It absolutely has an identity: They lose. It doesn't matter how, but they lose. They haven't made the playoffs since 2004. Whether it's "if only Mats Sundin had a winger" or "if only Phil Kessel had a center," there always seems to be an excuse. You can't be afraid of a team like that. You fear Kessel's shot as one of the league's deadliest. He doesn't always connect, but if Dion Phaneuf is locked in, you fear the fact that he can and will kill you. But for the most part, how are you going to fear a hockey team that hasn't made the playoffs since the first Bush administration?
Once upon a time, Sundin was a leader who was able to put the team on his back. Once upon a time, Doug Gilmour, Gary Roberts, and Steve Thomas poured their heart into every single goal. Once upon time, Wednel Clark, Darcy Tucker, or Tie Domi would go into a borderline psychopathic blood lust if you even said boo to a teammate. Once upon a time, Curtis Joseph and Felix Potvin would steal games the Leafs had no business being in. For such a big, rich team financially, Leafs fans have an underdog fetish. They want players who work so hard, go so above and beyond, that they feel like they owe them. Instead, right now, it's the fans that are owed a debt.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are the hottest girl you went to High School with. A younger, less cynical version of yourself saw her as a beacon of hope, a symbol of your future, and something to aspire to. Flash forward to the 7 year reunion, she was so devastated by the retirement of her favorite teacher, Mr. Sundin, that she's completely let herself go and can't seem to get her life together. She's a shell of her former self, unable to establish any place for herself in the real world.
She's great for nostalgic purposes. She brings back memories of simpler times. You dig up old pictures to remind yourself that at one point, she was the prom queen. But today, in 2012, she's just someone you spend you spend too much time obsessing over on the internet.
I haven't lived in Toronto for very long, nor did I grow up a Leafs fan, but in reading the blurbs from our writers here as well as listening to people in the town, one thing is abundantly clear. Two things, rather. The first is that Torontonians love to talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs. The second is that Torontonians detest the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Not in the sense that they root for them to lose. I don't think anybody wishes ill upon their own team, but every move is so strongly scrutinized that the positives get lost in the chatter. The Leafs are kicking tires on a young goaltender who spent the last year as a backup? "Bad news, Burkie, he's not the starting goalie the Leafs need!" The Leafs acquire a big winger from the Philadelphia Flyers? "But what about the goaltending, management?"
These problems are all fixed by winning, but winning just can't come. I'm not one of those writers who will attempt to blame the fans for not being patient enough to properly rebuild; I think that the last three general managers put in place by the team were the wrong guys to lead a successful rebuild. Brian Burke's performance should be removed from the efforts of John Ferguson Jr. and Cliff Fletcher alike, as well as those of other Toronto sports teams. The problem is that there's such a sour attitude towards pro sports in this town that people can't especially do that.
There was a time when I was growing up when I'd always make sure to get home for the early Hockey Night game (I grew up out West where games start at 4:00 in the afternoon). People resented that it was always the Leafs, as if anybody in the country was willing to watch the Ottawa Senators ever, but the important thing was that the team was good. Watching that was always special because everybody had an opinion. The Leafs didn't have an identity. They were skilled in the present, blue collar in the past, and since in the past they were statistically more likely to win championships in a six-team league than a 21 or a 30-team league, the past is looked upon with a lot of reverence.
The Leafs are responsible for a lot of the myth-making in hockey. Back in the early days of the Original Six, or so I've read, it was English Canada versus French Canada, the skilled Montreal Canadiens teams versus the blue-collar spirit of the Toronto Maple Leafs. And yet in the last period of the real good Leafs teams, commentators who would talk about the Teeder Kennedys or Sweeney Schriners of the world were oblivious to what was happening right in front of them: the Leafs, led by predominantly skill guys like Mats Sundin, Alexander Mogilny, Nik Antropov and Tomas Kaberle were winning games.
The problem with the Leafs may be that, no matter how good they are, they'll be questioned for what they "are not" rather than for what they "are". The past creates conflict. It gives us good and evil, the black and white footage symbolic of the "Leafs vs. Habs" rivalry we've heard so much about. There was no middle ground. As colour TV has taken over, and the Internet and all these things that make discussion so easy in the 21st century, it's more obvious than ever that every decision will be held to lofty standards that no team in this current era of hockey can match.
Once you win, you develop your identity. The Leafs of the past still have that identity, as do the Pittsburgh Penguins who represented youth and skill and the Boston Bruins who represented toughness and grit. Style does not dictate the future.
The leafs to Toronto and Canada means as much as the Yankees do to New York and the Yankees.
Also the identity of the leafs is in part given by Burke (truculent, build from net out, blah blah blah). And that - and blame the media if you prefer - has done the most damage to the team in the yes of fans.
The team is more Burke's frankenstein hodge podge creation of some fragile fast skating bodies mixed, players that can't play hockey well and mixed in with some elite talent. The team is not a "team" but assortment of players that don't complement each other how a team should. That to me is the Burke identity.

- 47% of grooms asked for permission from the bride's father before proposing
- 62% of grooms got down on one knee to propose
- 88% of brides received an engagement ring at the time of engagement
- 30% of the time the ring was picked out together
– Weddingbells' 2008 Reader Survey
Whether you choose to ask the bride's father or not, it is tradition to tell the bride's parents first. Then the groom's parents are told the happy news. Usually the engaged couple visit each set of parents to tell them the happy news. It is important to share this information with each set of parents on the same day, so there are no hurt feelings or offence taken for any delay.
If the parents are in a different city or part of the country and personal visits are not practical, a phone call by the couple to the parents is in order to share the happy news. It is proper etiquette that the parents are always the first to learn of the engagement.
It is also proper etiquette to let family and friends know of the engagement at roughly the same time. So the couple must decide how they will spread the news throughout their family and friends, but it should be done at roughly the same time so there is no offence taken. Your options are a personal visit by the couple to those closest to you, a phone call by the engaged couple to friends, or a letter or email announcing the engagement.
Usually, the announcement is coordinated with a public notice of the engagement in the newspapers where most of the family live. If the engaged couple's family live in two different cities, then newspaper announcements should be in both city newspapers, for example. The traditional way of making the announcement is for the Mother of the Bride to take responsibility, and make a formal announcement in the newspaper. For example, Mr. and Mrs. William Smith are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter Susan to Mr. Tom Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Jones. A look in your local newspaper will show alternative engagement announcements for you to choose from.
Another option is an engagement party. Traditionally, this should be a party given by the bride's parents, and both sets of parents should know of the engagement. The Mother of the Bride issues the invitations, keeping the purpose of the party a secret. Then, at the party, either the Father of the Bride, or the Fiancé will announce the upcoming marriage. Sometimes, the couple opts for a separate party with all their friends, and sometimes it is a combined party.
The main thing to remember from an etiquette point of view is that the parents must be told first, and then family and friends be told next at roughly the same time. How you choose to do this is up to you. The engagement ring should not be worn until the engagement is formally announced.
After the engagement has been announced, it is customary for both sets of parents to meet. If geographical distance is not a hindrance, the engaged couple should arrange a dinner party with both sets of parents invited. The purpose of this meeting is to allow the parents to get to know each other.
The final preparation for announcing your engagement should be a list of people that you want to make sure to tell of your engagement. Note next to their name what method you will use to tell them. Certain people you will want to tell personally, and others can be notified as part of a group at an engagement party, or through phone calls or email. Making the list may seem unimportant, but it IS important to make sure you don't forget anyone and create hard feelings. In addition, this list will become your starting point for your wedding guest list. Your parents will help you to make sure you don't miss a distant relative or other important person, so get their help in creating this engagement list. Either when you announce your engagement to your parents, or when the parents meet for dinner, creating a wedding engagement list will give you an activity to do together.
This way the parents have a say in who gets informed of the wedding, and from it you will get an idea of who they think is important for the wedding guest list. The wedding guest list is strictly for the couple to decide, but this early input will put the parent's minds at ease that you are organized and taking control of the wedding planning process, and may stop future interference in planning your perfect wedding.

I agree that some men from states other than Kansas need to step up closer to the toilet.

I have been wearing one for many years ever since I started cooking more and running the Franklin Victorian Bed and Breakfast in Sparta, WI. You asked what is it… Well it is an "Apron".
I thought I would share some history with you about the Apron. The principal use of an apron was to protect the dress underneath because women only had a few dresses. It was easier to wash more Apron's then dresses and aprons use less material. I do agree it does protect my shirts!
Other uses it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven. I now use potholders.
It was also used for drying children's tears, and on occasion used for cleaning out dirty ears.
From the chicken coop, Aprons were used to carry eggs, or flowers from the gardens. We now can have any fancy and colorful baskets for these uses.
When company came, aprons were ideal hiding shy kids. When weather was cold, you could be wrapped in an apron to stay warm. When the weather was hot many wiped perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove it could be used for. Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchens in that apron, along with fresh vegetables from the gardens. After the peas had been shelled, the apron was used to carry out the hulls.
In the Fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from trees. If surprise company came by to visit and say Hello, it was amazing how fast you could dust with using your apron.
When dinner was ready, you could walk out on the front porch and waive your apron, and the men folk knew it was time for dinner.
It has be a long time since the apron was invented and it will be a long time for someone to invent something that can replace the "old-time apron" that serves so many purposes.
So, look to your mothers and your grandmothers and see if they still wear an apron and I hope they do. Aprons come in all sizes, colors, fabrics and you can even have one for everyday. I was to a craft fair this past winter and aprons were making a come back and I purchased one and it has become my summer favorite. I find myself doing many of the things that old-fashion aprons were made to do way back in history and Yes they are a wonderful piece.

and Whatcom CC game. If North Seattle wins, then SCC and North Seattle will

NWAACC Men's Basketball Championship. If North Seattle Loses, then SCC advances
to the NWAACC Championship as the 4th seed from the region.
The SCC Men's Basketball regular season ended on a sour note on Wednesday at Bellevue College, as the Dolphins were defeated by the Bulldogs 116-85. SCC was never in the game, as Bellevue pushed out early and led 65-41 at half-time and never looked back.

If Whatcom wins, then SCC will go to the NWAACC Men's Basketball Championship as the 4th seed from the region and play Mt. Hood Community College in the opening round on March 3.
In front of a large and vocal crowd, several four year college coaches, and UW freshman standout Tony Wroten, the Shoreline Community College Men's Basketball Team dropped a tough 108-100 game to the Peninsula College Pirates.
SCC pushed out to a 56-44 lead at half-time and went up by 18 early in the second half (64-46), but the Pirates outscored the Dolphins by 20 in the second half (64-44) and went on to win by 8.

Shoreline is now 16-10 on the year, 10-5 in the NWAACC Northern Region. SCC needs to win Wednesday at Bellevue College to assure a NWAACC Championship Tournament bid or have North Seattle Community College lose one of its two remaining games. SCC plays at Bellevue at 7:30 PM.

SCC has a bye on Saturday, the last weekend of NWAACC play. SCC can finish no worse than a tie 4th place now, which would force a play-in game between the two teams tied for the last championship spot. SCC can still finish has high as second with a win over Peninsula College on Monday and other games falling across the region during the week falling into place.
Peninsula will enter Monday's game with a 20-4 record, 10-3 in the region, and the Pirates are ranked 5th in the NWAACC. SCC dropped a 116 to 106 game to Peninsula at PC back in January. PC features the league's 2nd leading scorer, J.T. Terrell, a Wake Forest University transfer.

Skip to comments.How A 'Deviant' Philosopher Built Palantir, A CIA-Funded Data-Mining Juggernaut
Posted on 08/28/2013 3:03:19 PM PDT by nickcarraway
Since rumors began to spread that a startup called Palantir helped to kill Osama bin Laden, Alex Karp hasnt had much time to himself.
On one sun-baked July morning in Silicon Valley Palantirs lean 45-year-old chief executive, with a top-heavy mop of frazzled hair, hikes the grassy hills around Stanford Universitys massive satellite antennae known as the Dish, a favorite meditative pastime. But his solitude is disturbed somewhat by Mike, an ex-Marinesilent, 6 foot 1, 270 pounds of mostly pectoral musclewho trails him everywhere he goes. Even on the suburban streets of Palo Alto, steps from Palantirs headquarters, the bodyguard lingers a few feet behind.
It puts a massive cramp on your life, Karp complains, his expression hidden behind large black sunglasses. Theres nothing worse for reducing your ability to flirt with someone.
Karps 24/7 security detail is meant to protect him from extremists who have sent him death threats and conspiracy theorists who have called Palantir to rant about the Illuminati. Schizophrenics have stalked Karp outside his office for days at a stretch. Its easy to be the focal point of fantasies, he says, if your company is involved in realities like ours.
Palantir lives the realities of its customers: the NSA, the FBI and the CIAan early investor through its In-Q-Tel venture fundalong with an alphabet soup of other U.S. counterterrorism and military agencies. In the last five years Palantir has become the go-to company for mining massive data sets for intelligence and law enforcement applications, with a slick software interface and coders who parachute into clients headquarters to customize its programs. Palantir turns messy swamps of information into intuitively visualized maps, histograms and link charts. Give its so-called forward-deployed engineers a few days to crawl, tag and integrate every scrap of a customers data, and Palantir can

Shades of Larry Ellison.
Dude, if you don't want the fringe and weirdos to stalk you, probably shouldn't name your information gathering company after a magical object from Lord of the Rings that had evil implications.
I'd think the enemies out there would rather kidnap him than otherwise harm him. We would have gotten Osama one way or another though, and I though it was actually more human intelligence that resulted in his discovery. Or maybe the impossible has happened and Hollywood has lied to me.
Yeah, instead of naming it Palantir, they could have named it something that wasn't Palantir, but sounded silmarillion.
Ah, sure, UNREASONABLE conspiracy theorists torment this saint.
Who named his company —which spies on Americans' license plates driving around NorCal malls and roads— after a the CRYSTALL BALL OF AN EVIL WORLOCH.
Sounds made up, right?
Started off properly geared at terrorists, and now they're installing all this Big Bro stuff on cameras all over the place in Northern California, photoing and storing where and where your car is.
You have no idea, and neither do they. Neither do the cops.
It's not search and seizure —it's seizure AND THEN search.
You'll come across their interest, and then they'll query the imaging of your car plate at some data fusion center, and then they'll know EVERYWHERE you have been.
Oh SURE he's a victim.

They are even contracting privately with companies sort of like Google Maps cars. And these imagine cars go around to malls at peak busy times, and they snap photos of the plates of EVERYONE who parked there.
On the road? Yeah, they snap a photo of the plate of EVERYONE who passes them on the road.
Just like Google "accidentally" did with ALL the routers they passed when they were mapping around cities.
Ah, whoops —sorry about that. Snafu, we PROMISE...!
You'll speak at a Town Hall, and question authority, and then they'll query their stupid database about your vehicle plates, and then they'll know where you live, your church, your town hang-outs, where your lover lives, ah...a trillion things.
They're putting these cameras on patrol cars, and even those put-put parking ticket scooters, bridges, toll stations, airports.
Northern California is some kind of special test bed for these oh-so-Innocent Orwellians cuz it's in the backyard of this company's HQ.
Yeah, they're going to scream, "You're a CONSPIRACY THEORIST" at anyone who has ANY reservation about this at all.
Hey, cut him some slack. He wanted to name it Big Brother Technologies, but someone had already used it.
After reading the article i think its safe to surmise that the only way Palantir's analytical software could predict the type patterns that it did (the software is rumored to have led to OBL's hidden location or be able to tell if a Nigerian scam is being perpetrated by taking at look at the IP address of the perp and detecting a hijacked line of credit is pretty clear to me. His predictive software must be tied into NSA, credit reporting agencies, and scores of other data information sources for it to work that fast. A further look into this might make Snowden' revelations a lot mire credible and possibly evn pale in comparison.
The money quote from a former staffer;
"Despite Palantirs lofty principles, says another former engineer, its day-to-day priorities are satisfying its police and intelligence customers: Keeping good relations with law enforcement and keeping the lights on bifurcate from the ideals.
He goes on to argue that even Palantirs founders dont quite understand the Palantiri seeing stones in The Lord of the Rings . Tolkiens orbs, he points out, didnt actually give their holders honest insights. The Palantiri distort the truth, he says. And those who look into them, he adds, only see what they want to see.
Sounds like the web, my cell phone, my TV, and my Nexus 7.
Ever notice just HOW touchy the cops are about being photographed?
There are good reasons for that, sure.
But another reason is because some COPS have special access to knowing just how often innocent people are being digitally imaged unaware: The cops know just HOW powerful that information can be in the right circumstances.
Cameras as becoming sort of like guns. But because the full nature of some of these exotic programs are known only to cops, well, only the cops know HOW afraid we all should be of casual digital imaging.
A casual view of Palantir would be like an early Chinese view of gunpowder as being just one of several needed inputs to make FIRE-CRACKERS, and not an important weapon.
When you see a cop freak out after being photoed then you have your answer for how YOU should feel about Palantir.
Palantir's tech only really works if it's everywhere, always.
The company creator was a consummate Hobbit Junky:
Remember the Hobbit movies with that flaming EYEBALL thing that never blinked as it looked for the ring...?
OK well, **THIS PROGRAM** IS THAT EYEBALL.
Remember after 9-11 and people were saying, "If we change the way we live as a result of this attack, then the TERRORISTS WIN..!"
In view of Palantir, etc. etc. you understand now just HOW RIDICULOUS that is, right...?
Programs of this type mean America is DEAD and not merely changed.
Reading the article and listening to the way Karp talks i don't think he is like most of the looney tune liberals. I think he's aware of the possibilty that the feds could use the infomation in a maliious and oppressive manner but I get the sense that this would trouble him considerably. I get the idea that he's thankful he had a business partner that backed him (Thiel; founder of Paypal) to make it happen and that Palatir is his life and obviously making a killing and is floating along for the ride hoping that the feds don't abuse the system. He sounds like a decent guy but maybe in over his head if the feds start getting a little overambitious with the intel contained within the data.
I agree 100% with your assessment, I got the same impression.
Apparently, he only owns 10% of the company, and I'd suggest that this genie is on auto pilot on its way to some bank.
You can call me crazy, but I can see the day that science will have the ability to literally read your mind.
This will bring a whole new meaning to the "New thought police".
Governments and Law enforcement are already using all these tracking and data mining techniques to "profile" individuals current and previous actions to establish that individuals "State of Mind".
Why do you think Obama has tasked the NIH with mapping every single neuron in the human brain and what it does?
In the future.
A hypothetical scenario may go like this.
Cop pulls you over for speeding, taillight, whatever...
Cop instructs you to get out of your car and place this "Cap" on your head.
He informs you that this is for your safety, as it will allow him to determine if you have violent intentions. If you don't have violent intentions than all is good.
Your brain waves are then feed wirelessly and analyzed in real-time and the results are displayed on the Cops "Google Glass".
In addition to virtually everywhere you have been, everybody you talk to, every group you are a member of, if you own a gun, if you have written statements about the threat of Government and on and on....
This "threat matrix" will then be matched to your "Current State of mind".
If your current "State" is sanguine, you take your ticket and go.
If on the other hand you're agitated, paranoid and even calculating, you are a threat.
"Future Crime" suspect that needs further evaluation for the good of society.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I dont add you to the list...
He's an idiot. He should have picked something totally innocent and safe sounding like Hobbit.
Alternate caption for that picture: "Man, this NSA crap has gone just too far now."
Well just Google Curt Weldon and Data Mining and you will see that 9_11 could have been avoided. Data Mining was getting to close to the Clinton shenanigans and I believe Condolezzaa Rice was not who she was made out to be also.
Really interesting stuff,Curt Weldon paid the price for making this public years ago,the commie democrats got rid of him
Have these people been identified, treated by a doctor and clinically diagnosed or is the author just misusing a medical term to smear someone he dislikes? More shades of the USSR.
No kidding!!
Here's the verbatim quote from Tolkien in "Return of the King":
"The Stones of Seeing do not lie, and not even the Lord of Barad-Dur can make them do so. He can, maybe, by his will choose what things shall be seen by weaker minds, or cause them to mistake the meaning of what they see."
Palantir, as I understand it, does not gather information. It collates information from other sources, and generates intelligence products tailored to the customer's demands. Palantir can, like Sauron, manipulate what you see, and you will accept what you see as fact.

Great For The PriceI have always only used the cheap flatirons and the ceramic coating always comes off. So, when I found this one with ceramic plates at a great price I was excited. So far it is working so much better. I have fine hair that breaks & dries out easily, but this iron is much gentler on my hair.Mar 23, 2012DawnHAIR TYPEBlonde / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Best Flat Iron For Natural Hair!I have thick, natural (not relaxed or colored), kinky, coily, 4a hair and I just finished using this flatiron for the first time. My results are comparable to my relaxed/salon days and maybe better because now I have volume as well. It took me a long time (3hrs) to flatiron, but I have thick, layered APL hair and I took very small sections because my hair is natural. There was just a little bit of snagging, but that wasn't a big deal for me. I admit that I was skeptical because of the price. Most legit ceramic irons cost way more, but the plates really are solid ceramic and got my hair super smooth and dare I say even silky! I used the ORS Heat Protection Serum and I think I found a winning combo for straight hair when I want it.Feb 13, 2011Tanzania G. / USHAIR TYPEBlack / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Ehhh Its Okay Stops Working WellI have had this for about 4 years this worked for a very long time but in the past 6 moths or so it has stopped working.. It great at first like i looovveedd it but now it doest. my hair gets suupperr puffy and curly and there is no humidity right now so there is nothing wrong with y hair its healthy. It Also completely fries my hair. like it will not keep it soft and silky so i get my hair deep conditioned very often. My stylist asked what kind of straightener i was using and i told her this one and she said ohh honey you wasted all your money. This straightener is no better than something you would buy at a grocery store...! I was soo surprised so i Would recommend the BaByliss Nano titanium ultra thin model. It works wonders!!!!!!!!! :) i had pictures but they didn't work. sorry. i will try to make another one later tho. Hope this helps some people.
I hope if you get this one it works better than it did for me!!!!!!!!!!(:Nov 21, 2010Taylor W. / WisconsinHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Surprise,surprise... It's So Cute! :)First of all, The LeAngelique straightening iron came in a very cute box with a magnetic closure. I will definitely be storing it in this box. :) I have the Pink one which is very pretty with a nice pink cord to match it. When I plugged it in, it heated up in no time and was ready to go. It has a nice grip to it which I really like. However, it was a little heavier then most straightening iron's that I have used. Being slightly heavier was minor to me. The swivel cord handled well and the iron was very smooth as it glided through my hair. To my surprise, I did not experience any snagging which is very important to me because that's one thing that really irritates me. My hair was straight, shiny and soft after using this iron. I enjoyed using it! This would make a nice gift because it's so pretty and it put a smile on my face the minute I opened the box. Surprise,surprise... It's so cute! :)

By The Associated Press
STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — A former economic development official in Tuscaloosa, Ala., has been named the first director of community development for the city of Starkville.
The Commercial Dispatch reports the Board of Aldermen has hired William L. "Bill" Snowden.
The board set his salary at $75,000.
Snowden earned a master's degree in political science and public administration from Jacksonville State University in Alabama in 1971 and received a master's degree in city planning from Georgia Tech in 1977.
He served in numerous economic development capacities for Tuscaloosa for 10 years and worked in planning departments in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.
Snowden said his first priorities are to meet city employees and others interested in development in Starkville.
Continuing his development career in a college town made the job attractive, he said.
"I love college towns and their atmospheres and lifestyles. You've got a better advantage here being a leg up in long-range planning — that's something only university towns like this can offer," Snowden said.
Mayor Parker Wiseman said Snowden is a good match for the city.
"(Snowden) spent much of the last decade being part of an era of unprecedented growth in Tuscaloosa. Frankly, I'm excited that someone with his credentials and track record was interested in joining the city," Wiseman said.

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Isaiah 45:11-17
Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: "Will you question me about my children, or command me concerning the work of my hands? I made the earth, and created man upon it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host. I have aroused him in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways; he shall build my city and set my exiles free, not for price or reward," says the LORD of hosts.
Thus says the LORD: "The wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you and be yours, they shall follow you; they shall come over in chains and bow down to you. They will make supplication to you, saying: 'God is with you only, and there is no other, no god besides him.'" Truly, thou art a God who hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Savior. All of them are put to shame and confounded, the makers of idols go in confusion together. But Israel is saved by the LORD with everlasting salvation; you shall not be put to shame or confounded to all eternity.

Growing up, the Commissary was just the store we went to where I got to push the cart and be denied candy. At the time I didn't understand that there was a benefit to shopping there, but as an adult (an adult without military privileges) I understand just how much you can save by shopping at the Commissary instead of the local Safeway.
Military families that shop at the Commissary save up to 30% more on their grocery bill than civilian families, however, these savings are in jeopardy. In a measure to cut spending, Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) has suggested cutting the $1.5 billion subsidy the Department of Defense spends on Commissary operating costs. In addition to possibly losing the subsidy, military families' Commissary benefits could also be affected by looming sequestration cuts should debt agreements not be reached by January 2nd. That's just three weeks away! With government funding cut by 9.4%, prices could be raised, hours could be restricted, and staff could be reduced in order to absorb some of the shock.
Many families value the Commissary's savings so much that they are already willing to drive over an hour a few times a month to stock up on groceries. Families overseas are able to purchase favorites from back home without having to pay import prices.
Here's what other military families have been saying:
"Commissary privileges are a valued asset to the military way of life. We need the subsidy and without it, it would make for a hardship on many of our lower enlisted soldiers and their Families."
"Please be considerate when looking at our commissary benefit. There are bases across the country that without a commissary service members and dependents would be driving for 30 minutes or more to buy groceries at higher prices."
"Support our military and our military benefits, which are so important to the morale and welfare of all those who serve and go into harm's way. Veterans depend on their military benefits and have fought to defend our country. Our military deserve the very best as they give their very best to defend our country."
Now's the time to speak up—contact your member of Congress (House and Senate) and let them know what the Commissary benefit means to you.
Military families, how would your life be affected if your Commissary benefits were altered?

My son is 2yo almost 3. I have read a few posts here similar to the issues we are having but I am just feeling very stuck at the moment. Whenever anything happens that is not as my son plans or wants, or if we make a request that he doesnt like he will hit at us. I figured this was typical 2yo behavior and we would just redirect and ask him to use his hands in gentle ways. Well the closer we have gotten to three he has become more and more aggressive. I often would pick him up to redirect him to another area/activity but now if I get close to him when he is upset he will hit, kick, grab hair, spit, etc. We do not have a violent house, he watches very little TV, and is only around other kids with parents present. I will talk to him about his emotions "You look angry, you're using your hands to show me you are frustrated" and he will say yes and pull harder. For a while we did 'hit sit' that if he hit we would go sit on the couch. Always someone with him to have quiet time or talk time, which ever he led towards, until he was able to calm down some. Now that just gives him a person close by to attack. I have gotten to the point of setting him away from me (though I am always nearby) and backing away with a simple "I will not let you hurt me" but he will just lunge for me. If I try to get much distance from him he will throw the heaviest/biggest object he can find. I have tried to redirect to hitting pillows, hitting his drums, throwing soft balls, etc but that seems to make him angrier. He is a wonderful child and very laid back 95% of the time. I am just running out of ideas to help him. I dont want to disconnect from him and I want to help him find ways to express his anger but I really dont know how. Ideas, book suggestions, online articles, anything would be very helpful. Thanks!

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Shakespeare's Restless World is currently being broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Today's episode Plague and the Playhouse looks at impact of the plague on Shakespeare's London.
Dr Richard Barnett, Wellcome Trust Public Engagement Fellow and Honorary Research Fellow, UCL
The most common kind of plague and the kind most associated with historical plague is bubonic plague. The bacterium gets into the body and into the lymph nodes, generally found in the neck, shoulder, armpit, and groin. The bacterium reproduce in these lymph nodes and swell up and go black. In some cases they burst open and you get really nasty abscesses.
With bubonic plague you fall into a deep fever, you get multiple organ failure, your body starts to shut down and it has about 30 – 60% mortality rate. A period of about a week is the period in which you would either die or recover from the disease.
Certainly in modern terms it is treatable and there are various interventions with drugs and organ support that can be done. In terms of the medicine available in Shakespeare's time, it was widely acknowledged by physicians and priests and the state that by far the best thing to do was just not to get this disease.
Most of the interventions that people make are about prevention and then about isolating people when they do get the disease. The classic image of prevention is the pictures of doctors wearing these very striking, rather beak-like masks which are filled up with herbs and the idea is that if you breathe through these masks you will purify the putrescent air that is causing the plague so you won't suffer it yourself. One reads of aristocrats carrying around pomanders and nose-gays and walking through poor areas with these things held to their faces to try and purify the air.
There is also a very strong emphasis on keeping yourself healthy and this isn't just about physical health, this is as much about what we would now call a spiritual and emotional and religious health. It is about confessing your sins, making sure you have a good relationship with God, so that God doesn't decide to strike you down with this disease.
Going to the theatre was a very bad idea for your health, not only physically because you were crammed into a space with all these other terrible, dirty groundlings, but because the theatre was an immoral pastime.

I'm counting on it being one of the best shows this spring. Nitro+ come up with some mint stories so as long as it doesn't go down the same route as Chaos;Head (Anime sucked but the visual novel is brilliant) it'll be epic.
Edit: BTW, If anyone likes that splendid song that plays in the PV, It's called Another Heaven by Itou Kanako from the album: Chaos Attractor.
If anyone wants the album let me know and I'll upload it.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hey guys, just wanted to make sure;
When i came back for f2p i had 3 free unlocks for the slots i wanted and i used them, but now i'm thinking to delete one of my chars and start another so if i delete the char i still get to keep the slot right? Because i read something on the forums and i'm cautious.
Let's say i keep the slot, do i get to create any class i want or just the 4 f2p ones?
And lastly, if i buy a slot from the shop, do i get to unlock a char i already created before(my dark templar) or do i have to create a new char in an unused and empty slot?
(btw fyi i bought the game and the x-pack back then and subbed too)
Thanks in advance for your replies and help.
Guys come on, not one person to share info? And i thought people were playing this game again.
Honestly not sure at all.
If I were you though, I'd err on the side of caution. Take no chances whatsoever. ASSUME NOTHING.
And if you created a forth slot, I am more than willing to wager that it will be a F2P class and not any class.
AoC is really not a F2P model as it is on endless trial.
"Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."
I need to take this advice more.
Not sure about the slots as I didn't mess with more but, I do know this.....I had a level 49 Assassin from launch. I was able to retrieve him, but once I decided I wanted a tank and a healer and deleted him I was only able to make the f2p classes, wasn't even able to make a new Assassin. Which was fine as I didn't want to.
So, if you have an old toon, you can fill one of the f2p slots with it. But you'll only be able to create new toons of the f2p selection.
Firstly, how did you have 3 slots unlocked? Usually f2p's only have two. Were these from your previous subscription? From what I've seen, it works like this; IF you've had premium classes prior to backing up to f2p you can still play those classes. Granted, there's not a ton of evidence to support this, but there IS some.
I also don't believe you'll loose any slots, should you delete a toon & make another because of the restrictions on f2p (else you'd lost one already).
It's still best to err on the side of caution,,,
If all else fails, contact Funcom.
"It's not the ignorance of the people, it's that most of what they 'know', just ain't so" -Anonymous 19th century comic
I had 3 slots because i bouhgt the x-pack back when, that gives you 1 extra slot in f2p. So assuming from the replies if i delete a char i keep the slot (as it should be, otherwise it would be incredibly stupid but you never know...) but i can only make f2p classes.
I contacted the customer support to be sure and to learn if i buy a slot can i unlock a previous char i created. Btw, when i came back i was able to unlock my bear shaman and assassin too so no doubt you can unlock premium classes you already created. Thanks for the replies guys.
Edit: So i deleted my bear shaman and it was gone with the slot too, then i had 1 free unlock immediatly which i could use with any of my old caharacters or create a new one. Glad how it turned out. Problem solved.
