Satin Smooth Waxing Starter Kit the perfect wax starter kit from Satin Smooth is perfect for students.
Kit Includes:
Imported from Italy, Satin Smooth waxes use a unique blend of beeswaxes, which contains a natural antibiotic called propolis that protects freshly waxed skin. The Satin Smooth collection includes waxes, warmers, lotions and accessories for all skin and hair types. Satin Smooth products are ideal for waxing aficionados or those curious to try.
Prepare Properly & You Will Love This.I had never waxed my legs before I bought this kit. I tried microwave wax on my eyebrows and was successful so I thought I would try this. IT totally WORKS. Even for a novice like me.
BUT, you have to do a few things before you just plug the thing in and make a giant mess.
1. Watch a video on how to wax the body part you want to wax. Youtube has great videos like this one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MU5rWcfyac
2. Follow the instructions. If your hair isn't long enough, it's not coming off. And exfoliate the morning or evening before. A homemade salt scrub works best (it's just 2 parts sea salt to 1 part baby oil). Use baby powder. It ensures the wax sticks properly to the hair. If the hair you are waxing is oily from lotion, the wax won't stick.
3. Lay an old sheet down (I read this on another review and it saved my carpet from a sticky death)
Also, use the warmest temperature your skin can handle (test on wrist FIRST!). The wax is easier to work with and it allows you to cover a larger area.
The only other complaint I saw here was that the wax wouldn't heat up. If you get one and this happens, just send it back because it's defective. My wax was ready to go in about 45 minutes.
Hope this helps! Happy waxing!!

Great Product!This kit is phenomenal! I read some of the negative comments on here and they definitely sound like people who have little to NO experience waxing themselves or other people. I am a licensed esthetician and I can tell you that if you know how to wax properly or even halfway decently, this is a fantastic kit to have. Everything comes contained in a plastic carrying case and the electrical cord wraps neatly around the base of the wax pot so it is neatly stored away. I agree that the honey wax they give you isn't the best (I went and purchased a creme wax which I prefer to work with anyway) and neither is the quality of the fabric strips they give you, but despite these things (which are minor... you can still get a great wax out of the items provided) you do receive a lot with the kit. I found that the wax heated up very quickly and you can control the temperature very well.
As for some of the negative reviews on here that I read: 1) The wax they give you is not a hard wax. It will never be hard enough for you to pull off without the use of a fabric strip. 2) If you think the temperature of the wax may be too hot, TEST IT on your wrist BEFORE applying it to the area you wish to wax. This is a basic rule of thumb. 3) Clients tend to think that because they've been waxed by a professional for years, this qualifies them as an expert. Being waxed and waxing others are two completely different experiences. There are professional techniques that are used to minimize pain and redness. It's not specifically the wax that's causing you pain (unless it's too hot), but the technique (or lack thereof) of the waxer.Apr 29, 2011Sara / Washington

Diva EyebrowsI bought this product because I was tried of going to the shop to get my eyebrows done I wasn't really sure if I would be able to do this task on my own, but surprise with the simple directions this is a no fail adventure, I've told all the ladies they have to get this kit it's every thing you need. This kit is the BEST:)Apr 26, 2011Corelli / AZ

Wow, I Can Wax My Own Eyebrows!!?I found this kit by watching one of my favorite You Tuber. I am not a makeup artist, nor do I have any salon experience. So...I was hoping this was as easy as it looked. My order arrived in 4 days which was so fantastic. I followed the directions and I must admit I learned a few things in the few times I have used it. Keep the wax hot and spread a thin, thin layer of wax, and do not wax over the same place twice:). I was lucky and the day I placed my order I received $10 off, so I have already paid for the cost of this great kit if I had gone for a professional waxing.Apr 23, 2011Betsy / WesportHAIR TYPEBlonde / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

My Secret Stache Solution!!I can't believe how much I have wasted at the salon getting waxed in the past!! I bought this set a little under a year ago and am so glad I did!! I am Puerto Rican and have very thick, dark brown, curly hair and am very light skinned.....so lets just say I've been getting parts of me waxed since I became interested in the opposite sex! I love this because I can do my upper lip ASAP in the privacy of my own home along with other embarressing body parts that can add up at the salon! (i.e. toes, knuckles, straggly chin hairs, sideburns! eeek!I know-gross!) I still go to the salon for proper shaping on my eyebrows, but at least I can do maintence in the meantime(no unibrow here!) It does hurt, but you have to know what to expect with my kinda hair.....so, if you have hair like me, GET IT! You will not regret it! Plus, no more embarressing moments leaving the salon with a big red top lip!!!!!!Mar 29, 2011Fashionista310 / ConnecticutHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Amazing!!!I am a first time home waxer, however I have been getting my eybrows and lip waxed for ten years. I came across this starter kit in an email and decided to give it a try and WOW was i impressed! I was excited about receiving the kit in the mail and when it got here i couldn't wait to try it out. I just finnished waxing my face for the first time and I am so amazed at how well the whole kit worked! The wax is slightly sticky, after all its wax what do you expect, but it went on well and came off easily. The pre and post wax products are great. It is going to take some time getting used to knowing how long and thick i need the cloth for each section i wax, but that will all come with practice and hopefully by the end of the summer i will have been brave enough to branch out to wax my bikini area! Thank you soo much for this kit you have saved me hundreds of $$$!!!Mar 29, 2011Angie / Oklahoma

Fantastic Way To Get The Job Done Right!I absolutely love this kit. The wax warmer is so much better than using the microwave cup. Easy for storage too. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to get the job done right at home. The only thing that I didn't like is that the directions are on the bottom of the wax can instead of separate. Other than that I totally reccomend it!Mar 18, 2011Elayne / Florida

Love Love 110% Recommend
1 it obviously hurt but it's so quick after a couple of seconds I was fine #2 I would NEVER want to brave doing a Brazilian by yourself, just bikini. #3 if the hair is too long you have to trim it because the wax just gets stuck in the hair. #4 I love it!! I recommend it 100%, I mean the kit is the same cost as to go get it done once at a spa. It took off so much hair, I was so surprised how good the wax is!Mar 11, 2011Jacy / TXHAIR TYPEThick or Coarse Hair

|In response to Re: Low pressure
: : : I'm have no pressure (thus no water) in my bathroom and kitchen. I disconnected the line underneath the bathroom sink (they are both on the same line and the bathroom is first), placed it in a bucket and turned on the water. Result was something I had to mop up. I pulled the handle apart and could see nothing wrong(not quite sure what I was looking at but there was no clog) so I put it back together and now have no water from either handle in the bathroom. A little help on this one?
: :
Sorry, this is the screen at the end of the faucet spout. It will unscrew. It is common for this to get clogged. If you have neither hot nor cold, it is the cause most of the time. If you know the brand of faucet, most manufacturers have exploded pictures of their faucets.

By Katrina Stansfield Huntington
In the second driest state in the country, water is not a resource that the agricultural community takes for granted. Ranchers and farmers in eastern Utah can find it challenging to meet our water demands even during a good year. That is why I and other locals are against unsustainable, ill-advised draws on our limited water, such as the proposed nuclear power plant in Green River and the rapid push to develop oil shale commercially.
Regarding oil shale development, a historically volatile and unproven industry that would require vast amounts of water, several other ranchers and farmers and I just sent a letter to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar in support of his go-slow approach. Under the Department of Interior's preferred alternative, companies would be given a green light to perform research and development on existing leases, and the public would be given time to study and understand the impacts to our economies and natural resources. As we noted in our letter, oil shale development will require anywhere from one-four barrels of water for every barrel of oil produced. We know way too little about how commercial-scale oil shale development would impact agriculture and local communities to rush forward with commercial leasing of our public lands, as some are calling for. Salazar, who comes from a multigenerational ranching family himself, has demonstrated that he understands western water concerns. Now, if only we had similar leadership on the nuclear power plant issue.

Evangeline Stone, a rogue bounty hunter, never asked for a world divided between darkness and light...or the power to die and live again in someone else's borrowed body. After a murder plot meant to take her out leaves an entire race of shapeshifters nearly extinct, Evy is gnawed by guilt. So when one of the few survivors of the slaughter enlists her aid, she feels duty-bound to help---even though protecting a frail, pregnant shifter is the last thing Evy needs, especially with the world going to hell around her. Amid weres, Halfies, gremlins, vamps---and increasingly outgunned humans---a war for supremacy is brewing. With shifters demanding justice, her superiors desperate to control her, and an assassin on her trail, Evy discovers a horrifying conspiracy. And she may be the only person in the world who can stop it---unless, of course, her own side gets her first.

"Love this series"
Great narration. I like to list this first as it can make or break a story.
Love stories with kick ass chicks.
I really enjoy it when readers with similar reading interests list their favourite authors and series. It really helps me find new authors too follow. Mine are Charlaine Harris, Jeaniene Frost, Jennifer Estep, Faith Hunter, Molly Harper, Ilona Andrews, Kresley Cole, Deborah Harkness, Nalini Singh, Coreene Callahan, Stacia Kane, Kelly Medding and Sherrilyn Kenyon.
Happy Reading
Totally addicted! It's possible I might need Audible rehab.
"Story interesting-narrator a little flat"
The story is entertaining but the narrator is often flat making it a bit difficult to invest in the story.
"Unexpectantly good"
Was not sure what to expect, have read books with similar story lines but this just seemed to be better than the others, went on to read everything in seried

1. A gentle shampoo for daily use
2. A toner that detangles, moisturizes and strengthens the hair strand
3. A daily scalp treatment that promotes hair density
For clients with extra needs, Redken's Intra Force line also includes intensive treatments formulated for clients whose hair thinning is seasonal or a result of stress. It includes:

By JAMES L. DAVIS
While shopping for clothes a few weeks ago I found myself wondering just when did plumbers become fashion designers?
For a number of years I have noticed that young people's clothes don't fit. I first made that observation when it seemed that everywhere I looked young men were losing their pants. Every kid I saw seemed to be wearing pants about four sizes too big and the poor kids were constantly having to stop what they were doing to hike them back up or they had to learn to walk bowlegged to keep their pants from dropping down to their ankles. If they happened to have their hands full or needed to run, well they had better not be shy and I hoped they had listened to their mother and at least had on clean underwear.
Completely lacking in any sense of fashion myself, I assumed that all these kids were just wearing hand-me-downs, which I completely understood. When I was a kid I worried less about my own diet and more about my big brothers. Because whatever he was wearing I knew would be hanging in my closet the next season. If he ate too little, then I was going to have to hold my breath to keep from popping buttons. If he ate too much, then I was going to need a good belt (and clean underwear).
But then I discovered that not only were these young people not wearing hand-me-downs, but that their parents had paid huge sums of money to buy jeans that were large enough for several normal size teenagers to wear at the same time. I didn't quite understand the fashion statement being made, but shrugged it off because as a teenager I remember wearing some things that I'm sure had my parent's generation scratching their head.
Once I grew old enough to get a job and start buying my own clothing I spent roughly three-quarters of my paycheck on bell-bottom jeans. They fit in the waist just fine, but there was enough legging to make a normal pair of jeans for four or five other kids. I wasn't content to have jeans that were just bell-bottoms either, on my jeans the bells started just below the waist. On more than one occasion while getting dressed in the morning I put both legs down one of the legs of my jeans and wouldn't notice my mistake until I looked in the mirror.
Remembering that, I decided not to say too much about kids wearing pants that wouldn't stay up. At least they were getting a whole lot of material for their money, even if it was material they didn't need.
Girls seem to be at the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to fashion statements. While boys clothing suffers from too much material, girls clothing suffers from too little. I noticed this because my daughter is slowly reaching the age where she won't let me pick out her clothing, she wants to have some say in what she wears. The problem with boys pants is that there's too much material for them to keep their pants around their waist; the problem with girls pants is that they don't even have a waist. Designers of girls pants have apparently at some point in time had a service call from their local plumber. While watching their plumber go about his work they have apparently noticed the effect a plumber's tool belt and gravity have on the plumber's pants. Realizing that they probably won't convince young women to wear a tool belt as a fashion accessory, they have decided to start creating pants that hug the hip bones instead of the waist. Throw in a shirt that ends at the rib cage and if a young woman should need to stretch or bend over than they, like their male counterparts, had better not be shy and should have on clean underwear.
Not that I'm old fashioned or anything. If you want to show off some skin and you have skin worth showing off, then feel free. Unless you're my daughter, then I'm old fashioned.
Fortunately, while my daughter wants to pick out her own clothing she has not yet reached the point where she cares a lick what her friends are wearing or what they might say about her choice in clothing. She wants regular jeans that go to the waist and T-shirts that likewise go to the waist, for which I am grateful. When shopping for shorts for her she informed me that she wanted to wear boys shorts. After looking at the girls shorts and discovering that the shorts began approximately one inch below the zipper I didn't argue with her at all.
But here too the difference between girls shorts and boys shorts was extreme. While girls shorts were, well short, the boys shorts were what we called floods when I was a kid. They weren't shorts at all, just pants that weren't long enough. My son refuses to even consider wearing shorts if they don't go down past the knee. Which is fine I guess, but after putting on tube socks there is only one to two inches of leg showing, which begs the question, why wear shorts at all?
Which all just made me realize that I have settled into my role as a parent: I am completely out of touch and have absolutely no fashion sense...for which I am grateful.

Are you guys surprised by this hire?
Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory.
I'm not. Lakers are dumb.
Burke- Burks- Burked.
That team was tailor made for Sloan. Poor 3pt shooting, Center used to having the ball funneled inside, defensive specialist at SF, HOF players at PG & PF, and a bunch of scrubs to coach up as role players. Those people are idiots. Thank goodness.
"I'm a moron for thinking the Browns could even sniff 10 wins in a division where the other three teams (two of whom almost always make the playoffs) made the post-season last year. Gyp Rosetti's thee God of football knowledge." - Brown Notes
I didn't think that the Lakers had the three point shooting for the "seven seconds or less" offense. However, the offense should run through Steve Nash, now. That's a good thing for them.
This is going to be a disaster. I love it.
I don't think it really matters who coaches them. They're to old, slow, no 3 pt shooting, and no bench.
I hope D'Antoni installs his offense. Nash will run down the court, see he's playing 1 on 5, and notice that his 4 teammates are still struggling with their walkers and wheelchairs to cross the half court line... Of course, who knows if Nash is ever really going to play this year? He's not exactly off to a great start. Perhaps this is finally the year where Nash's wheels fall off?
Lakers don't have the horses or the 3 point shooting to run that offense ala the Suns a few years back. Of course, anything will be an upgrade over whatever they were trying to run before. I also have a feeling that those players will probably play harder under D'Antoni. It really seemed like they were trying to get Brown fired. I've never seen the Lakers roll over so easily and quickly in Salt Lake.
Lakers Suck.
I am just really puzzled by the D'Antoni hire for the Lakers. It's like Phil was just like, uhhhh, no thanks.

I think they were planning on Phil jumping at it and were like "oh ****, now what"

I think Phil didn't want to do road trips or all the practices. "Hey if I can just show up for the home game I'm in"
Originally Posted by HipHopAnonymous

I saw that too. Probably combined with his underwhelming final season made their decision easier. IMO they still should have gone after Sloan. Maybe he turned them down.
Jerry Buss: "Sloan, how's it been? I'm sure you've heard the news about our coach..."
Sloan: "Yeah, you fired him five games into the season."
JB: "Yes, well, right... It just wasn't a good fit and we all knew it."
Sloan: "Hard to say 5 games into the season with your starting point guard out."
JB: "Well, we weren't headed in the direction we wanted to be..."
Slaon: "...five game into the season."
JB: "Okay, right. So, the reason I'm calling. We'd love to hear your thoughts on what you'd do with this team. We've always had a massive amount of respect for you, what you did in Utah and the kind of player and coach you are. Simply one of the best there has ever been."
Slaon: "Mr. Buss."
JB: "Yes"
Sloan: "I hate the Lakers. Goodbye" click
I'd like to think it went something like that.
Leave it up to Gameface to give me my laugh of the day.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson
D'antoni seems like a terrible fit to me. They are a slow ass team.
I think, coach D'Antoni is the second best fit among candidates... I was listening some local sport radio shows on air in LA just after coach Brown had been fired. Faker fans think that LA should be scoring much more and there should be a "show" on the basketball court, which was definitely missing w/ Brown anchoring the team.
PJ is the fan fave. but do not think he will coach again, despite the fact that this Lakers team is built to win "now", which Jackson is great at. Kobe
Kobe has a great respect for coach D'Antoni btw.

....I hate being right all the time but this is what I said in the other thread: "Won't be Sloan, won't be Jackson........"That leaves the Suns old coach. He could do the job and fit as well as any coach could possibly fit....if Nash can get healthy and stay healthy."

I absolutely agree with you museksk8r :-)
Except for the huge step out (no hands down) on the opening quad, clean performance by Hanyu.
Since this is the SP his asthma shouldn't affect him. However, let it be known that Tonya Harding had a horrible asthma condition as well, but that didn't stop her from succeeding on the ice, including the LP.
CBC still wouldn't stream live for me.
I refreshed, opened new browser, rebooted computer, popped out video, clicked on live stream repeatedly................
Thank you for your comments, it's great as an alternative to nothing, i.e. not seeing anything :-)))
It is on TV now.
Wow, Javiar's jumps come out of nowhere, literally. What control, he's skating, then spring! No preparation, no telegraphing, no nothing. Except for that bobble on the combo. in the middle, slick, cool, controlled, with zest!
Still, Zhenya has to bring his A-game, he still has the goods to rip him a new tail with his 4/3 combo. (secret weapon)!
Fernandez' quad was so beautiful Kurt actually giggled after it. Got the combo off his triple but it wasn't pretty, but gorgeous axel to follow. Weaker spinner in general, and he finished his program facing away from the judges (the look on his face was a little priceless)
Fall on quad, step in between his 3/3 combo., 3A beaut! Good job, but into 3rd by a long shot.
Come on, Abbott, control your nerves, breathe. You're still in the game. Let it rip!!!!!!
Alright, reading abut this without being able to watch it is starting to make my gut feel weird. I'm going to go distract myself by brushing my teeth or something.
The result for Fernandez has not yet been shown. Is it Jeremy's turn already?

Two sides who have shown flashes of their best without hitting the heights – Italy and Ireland – will begin the festivities on Saturday.
Two sides who have shown flashes of their best without hitting the heights – Italy and Ireland – will begin the festivities on Saturday.
Starting with the hosts, Italy come into this weekend buoyed by their second-half performance against England at Twickenham.
Everything about the Italians looked sharper – their physicality, accuracy in defence and attack all appeared on-song. Jacques Brunel cited a change in Italy's approach as the main reason for their improvement, reducing the workload in their training schedule to feel "fresher" as the match wore on.
It paid off handsomely. Twickenham has rarely been colder but few were feeling the arctic conditions given the drama unfolding on the pitch infront of them. Could Italy final defeat England? At the home of English rugby, they have never been closer.
Perhaps it is no coincidence that Italy's best work in 2013 has come after substantial periods of rest. They burst out of the blocks against France showing the similar qualities that served them so well last Sunday – aggressive, direct and executing at a higher level that we see from the Azzurri all too rarely.
Their crop of talented players, spearheaded by Sergio Parisse but flanked by Alessandro Zanni, Martin Castrogiovanni, Luke McLean and Andrea Masi, have the potential to achieve so much more, although age is not on their side.
That is an issue that Ireland have been familiar with for some time. Brian O'Driscoll added to his legend by dragging himself back onto the turf against France last weekend. Concussion, a dead leg and a lacerated ear are not enough to stop the great one taking the field one more time in this championship to represent his country. If the rumours are to be believed – it might be his last.
Which would be incentive enough, if Ireland were not already kicking themselves. A Six Nations that promised so much after 47 minutes in Cardiff has gradually disintegrated. The manner of their defeat against Scotland – racking up 71 percent possession and 77 percent territory – was not far short of embarrassing.
When 13-3 up against France their luck appeared to be turning, before the outstanding Louis Picamoles struck. Pride is at stake in Rome, as are reputations.
Jamie Heaslip's captaincy has been a rocky road thus far after a promising beginning, with the number eight nowhere to be seen amongst the statistics for top performers. Rob Kearney is another struggling to find his best form. There is still time to impress Warren Gatland ahead of the Lions tour to Australia, but a good performance against Italy will boost their chances.
Which leaves Declan Kidney. The former Munster boss took Ireland to the summit with the Grand Slam title in 2009, but has struggled to match the height of that accomplishment since. Ireland's win record under Kidney since that success sits at 48 percent – with exceptional victories such as the win over Australia at the Rugby World Cup mingled together with the 60-0 humiliation against the All Blacks last year.
The question is whether Ireland will improve if Kidney stays on – whether he is right man to usher in the new group of stars that include Craig Gilroy, Paddy Jackson and Iain Henderson to take Ireland forward. The confusion over Ireland's fly-half situation in recent weeks signals that all is not right.
Over time, the number of odd selections, loyalty to older players and sets of disappointing results have left Kidney on the edge. The truth is that even a victory over Italy might not be enough to save his job.
Players to watch:
For Italy: Luke McLean was the sole try scorer at Twickenham last weekend, but his fellow winger Giovambattista Venditti was the man who stole the attention. Vendetti's power down the right saw him burst through tacklers and offer a threat that the Azzurri have not witnessed for some time out wide. If Vendetti, McLean and Masi are given enough possession then Italy will cause Ireland problems, because for the first time in a while, they have attacking threats.
For Ireland: A try scorer against Scotland, Craig Gilroy returns to the Irish starting XV after recovering from a groin strain. The Ulster winger has made a bright start to his Test career and will look to add to his current record of two tries in four matches in Rome. Ireland proved at Murrayfield that they have the ability to create opportunities, but their problem was execution. Given the right amount of time and space, Gilroy can take those chances. Attention will also be on Paddy Jackson on his third Test start, having originally been set to drop to the bench before Jonathan Sexton rolled his foot in training.
Head-to-head: Two flankers on opposite sides that have topped the stats throughout this Six Nations Championship. Alessandro Zanni has made more offloads than any other player in the tournament (9) and taken the second highest number of line-outs (15). Ireland's Sean O'Brien on the other hand has made more carries than any other player (55) – in the process playing himself back into the frame for Lions contention. Both offer different skills, but both will play a role in dictating the outcome of Saturday's clash in Rome.
Recent results:
2012: Ireland won 42-10, Dublin
2011: Ireland won 36-6, Dunedin
2011: Ireland won 13-11, Rome
2010: Ireland won 29-11, Dublin
2009: Ireland won 38-9, Rome
2008: Ireland won 16-11, Dublin
2007: Ireland won 23-20, Belfast
2007: Ireland won 51-24, Rome
2006: Ireland won 26-16, Dublin
2005: Ireland won 28-17, Rome
2004: Ireland won 19-3, Dublin
Prediction: A very close call. Italy were magnificent against France at home, but poor against Wales before showing some of their best form in the second-half at Twickenham to restore their confidence. Ireland on the other hand have let results against Scotland and France get away from them after being in control, meaning they are due a victory. Having never lost to Italy in the Six Nations, history is on their side, but do Ireland who are limping into Rome have enough in the tank after that brutal draw in Dublin last weekend? They should just sneak it. Ireland by 3.
Italy: 15 Andrea Masi, 14 Giovambattista Venditti, 13 Gonzalo Canale, 12 Gonzalo Garcia, 11 Luke McLean, 10 Luciano Orquera, 9 Edoardo Gori, 8 Sergio Parisse, 7 Simone Favaro, 6 Alessandro Zanni, 5 Joshua Furno, 4 Quintin Geldenhuys, 3 Lorenzo Cittadini, 2 Leonardo Ghiraldini (c) 1 Andrea Lo Cicero.
Replacements: 16 Davide Giazzon, 17 Michele Rizzo, 18 Alberto de Marchi, 19 Antonio Pavanello, 20 Francesco Minto, 21 Paul Derbyshire, 22 Tobias Botes, 23 Tommaso Benvenuti.

In their second deal of the day, the Dallas Stars unloaded their leading scorer to the Boston Bruins, a team looking to bolster its forward production.
Numbers Game looks at the Bruins' acquisition of Jaromir Jagr.
The Bruins Get: RW Jaromir Jagr.
The NHL's active leader in goals (679) and points (1,679), 41-year-old Jaromir Jagr has shown that, in the right role, he can still be a productive player and the Boston Bruins are expecting that he will help boost an offence that is currently tied for 12th in the league with 2.74 goals per game and 24th on the power play (15.2%).
Jagr's value lies in his ability to generate offence. Even at his age, he's highly productive, leading the stars with 14 goals and 26 points in 34 games. His 17 even-strength points is tied for 59th in the league, with Alexander Ovechkin (among others) and ahead of the likes of Claude Giroux, Henrik Zetterberg, Jarome Iginla and Joe Thornton.
So with the understanding that Jagr can still produce offensively, despite his age, how might he be utilized in Boston? A spot on the wing with fellow Czech David Krejci might be a natural fit. Nathan Horton and Milan Lucic have been manning those wings, though neither has been great. Lucic, who has five goals in 33 games, could get bumped if Horton could play left wing. If not, then Horton might be the one to move down to the third line.
No matter how the Bruins end up shuffling their lines, though, the plus side is that they will upgrade not only the production from a scoring line, but they should get more from their third line, which has been a season-long issue for them, with RW Rich Peverley struggling and C Chris Kelly injured.
The Bruins are a team with championship aspirations, so it makes sense to go after a player of Jagr's pedigree. Not only is he a gifted scorer, but his size and strength allow him to control the puck in the offensive zone and it's part of the reason that he has thrived in the playoffs throughout his career, scoring 189 points in 180 career playoff games.
Jagr, who makes $4.55-million this season (www.capgeek.com), will be an unrestricted free agent in the summer and it appears that he has enough left in the tank to play at least one or two more seasons, if that's his desire.
The Stars Get: LW Lane MacDermid, RW Cody Payne and a second-round pick.
MacDermid is a 23-year-old tough guy winger who has no points and three fights in eight games with Boston over the past two seasons. He has six points and a minus-5 rating in 37 games for Providence in the AHL this year and hasn't ever scored enough to think that he'll be more than a fighter in the NHL.
Payne, 19, was a fifth-round pick of the Bruins in last summer's draft and scored 24 goals and 45 points, with a plus-16 rating in 66 games for Plymouth of the Ontario Hockey League. He had scored a total of 29 points in 110 games through his first two junior seasons, so there was definitely some development this year. Perhaps there could be more in the future for a Florida-born winger who goes 6-foot-2, 200 pounds.
It's entirely possible, however, that neither Payne nor MacDermid plays any more than a handful of games for the Stars; they simply aren't top prospects.
Much like the Stars' deal with Vancouver earlier in the day for Derek Roy, the second-round pick provides some value, about a 30% chance of landing an NHL player. The pick could be a first-round pick if the Bruins win at least two rounds in the playoffs, which isn't a reach.
Moving Jagr and Roy is going to shake up Dallas' lines for the remainder of the season. Jamie Benn, Loui Eriksson and Ray Whitney are the proven commodities. Cody Eakin should see more time, Erik Cole could play a bigger role and there is still room in the top six forwards for a prospect (Reilly Smith or Matt Fraser would be leading candidates) to get a legitimate chance to play in a scoring role for the last 13 games of the season.
The Stars made some one-year investments last summer, signing Jagr and trading for Roy and they had to make those moves with the understanding that, if they weren't in a playoff position, that those players would get moved to provide future value for the team. Now, it's time for the Stars to see what some of their kids can do and prepare to add more young talent to the organization in the offseason as they rebuild.

Australian whole language guru Brian Cambourne has found himself in a minor dust-up Down Under for suggesting a "subliminal campaign" to undermine phonics as an approach to teaching reading by subconsciously linking it with the idea of failure.
Cambourne, best known in the U.S. for his "Conditions of Learning" theory, sent a mass email to literacy educators suggesting they flood an education minister's office with emails linking phonics to "readicide", which Cambourne describes as "the systematic killing of the love of reading, often exacerbated by the inane, mind-numbing practices found in schools," the Australian reports. Cambourne's suggestion was in response to the official's announcement of the nation's "first direct comparison of phonics-based reading methods with other techniques."
Asked why he had to resort to a subliminal campaign instead of relying on evidence, Professor Cambourne first said: "You don't really believe we can influence the minister's subconscious?" Cambourne tells the Australian:
When the email was quoted back to him, Professor Cambourne said he and his colleagues had to rely on cognitive science's framing theory. "It's a way of making ideas change based on new theories rather than just denying or trying to argue with people you can't argue with," Professor Cambourne said. "When you rely on evidence, it's twisted. We can also present evidence but we never get a fair hearing. We rely on the cognitive science framing theory, to frame things the way you want the reader to understand them to be true – framing things that you're passionate about in ways that reveal your passion."
Framing things the way you want the reader to understand them to be true? Forgive me, but isn't that a fancy definition of lying?
"We have to use the same kind of tactics that have been used to demean and demonise whole language," he said before adding that, if The Australian reported his comments: "I will deny I ever said this."

A large crowd attended The Emery County Historical Society, Fund Raising Event June 24, at the Castle Dale Park Pavilion. People came from all over Emery and Carbon counties. The desserts and salads were pot luck, but the spaghetti and sauce was furnished by the Historical Society and was served up by volunteers. This event was a combined activity with the Carbon County Historical Society.
The crowd was entertained by the Jones Boys Band, playing many old time polkas and western songs on guitars, banjos, tambourine, goat toe nails and spoons.
Sylvia Nelson read a tribute to Eva Westover Conover and Joyce Staley, secretary of the Emery County Historical Society, made the presentation of a plaque to Conover. Eva still lives in Ferron in the home built by her husband and she frequently visits her children. Eva Conover organized the Castle Valley Historical Society in 1977. She was assisted in this organization by her sister Roxie Westover Nelson. This recognition was for Conover's many years of service between 1977-80 when both Carbon and Emery counties formed their own chapters. Eva is now in her 90s as is Roxie.
The main event of the evening was Montell Seely regaling the audience with stories of his experiences crossing Iowa, pulling a hand cart (as did the pioneers). His program was titled Reliving the Pioneer Trail. Montell told of crossing East to West on the Mississippi River in a ferry boat filled with horse drawn wagons. When a train traveling along the Western bank, blew its whistle at a crossing, just as the ferry boat was nearing the shore, the horses became excited and almost caused a catastrophe. Montell also had several pioneer antique items on display for viewing.
This fund raiser was successful by all accounts. The next historical society event will be the cowboy poetry event on Aug. 19 at 6 p.m. at the Castle Valley outdoors. Dutch oven dessert and ice cream will accompany the activity. Local poets are encouraged to participate. Contact Pres. Bert Oman or V.P. Mervin Miles. Monies raised from the fundraiser are for local planned historical preservation projects.

Back in the old days, women labored alone — or sometimes in the same room as another laboring woman — while dads paced in the waiting room. Delivery room attendance was limited to the doctor and nurses. My, how times have changed!
Today, dads or partners expect to be present during labor and delivery. Also present might be grandparents, in-laws, siblings, friends, doulas and other interested persons. Then you can expect your obstetric provider, one or two nurses, and perhaps a resident, a medical student or a student nurse, as well as a team of providers for the baby. In an informal poll of nurses at my own institution, the average number of people attending a vaginal delivery seems to be about 15. That can be one crowded room!
I'm beginning to wonder, though, if we're settling into a time between the extremes of no one present and everyone present. Despite the large groups in some labor and delivery rooms, I've noticed a downsizing in my own practice.
For some women and their partners, birth is becoming a more intimate experience. More couples are spending those first important minutes with their new baby alone. Family and friends are invited in after the baby has had some skin-to-skin bonding with mom and perhaps has nursed for the first time.
Whether you'd like a crowd in the delivery room or a more private experience, make sure that you're comfortable with your support people. You should trust that your birth will be like Vegas — what happens in the birthing room stays in the birthing room. You don't want to see stories of your labor and how many naughty words you used appearing on Facebook. You might also want to avoid inviting anyone who has a strong personality or definite opinions on your labor and delivery, especially if those opinions differ from yours.
If you're concerned that someone you'd rather not have around you during labor or delivery will show up anyway, ask your nurse to prevent the person from coming in. Labor and delivery nurses have plenty of experience guarding patient privacy — and, if necessary, practicing crowd control.
It's also important to set ground rules. Discuss your partner's role in labor and delivery, and decide whether your partner might need a support person of his or her own. Be firm with friends and loved ones about your expectations. If you and your partner want to be alone with the baby for the first few hours after the birth, let people know that you'll tell them when it's time to visit.
What are your stories of friends and loved ones in the delivery room? Please share! You can also follow me on Twitter @RNMarMurry.

In addition to my previous comment, I want to add that, we need to stop saying that a husband or partner needs a support person for him or her, during a wife's medical treatment. What we should say is that the husband may need a person to relieve him, if he needs to run home, to the store, or get something to eat.
That relief person should be a female who the wife is close to, since she may be in a vulnerable state and exposed, not MIL, but her sister or mom who she grew up with. The husband's support should not be left with the wife, but should go into the waiting room and give the laboring woman some peace and reapect for privacy.
But just saying that the husband needs support, that is not the case. If he needs someone to bolster his emotions, then he needs to not bring that person inside of his wife's delivery space because that person may not be a person who the wife is comfortable with while she is vulnerable. 2-26-14
We need to be careful NOT to make everything about the husband. This is not his show. this is not about him. If he needs his mommy or dad, then he or she may have to stay in the waiting room and he can go there to talk to them there, to get his emotions boosted. But he should not tell things about his wife's body that are very delicate. He can just tell how much longer the birth will be, etc.
In reply to Jean. Tell your husband that he must support you during labor and giving birth, since it is you giving birth not him. He doesn't have a say in who looks at your vagina. Many women are gullible and are afraid to stand up to their husbands during this time. This is not the time to compromise with a husband.
Tell him to keep people out until the baby arrives. You would do the same thing for him, no questions asked. 10-30-13
How can we get the doctors and nurses to not allow visitors to come into the labor and delivery room. Medical personnel should send these people back out to the hallway.
Would you allow visitors in the room when a man is having his prostrate exam.
Janie there is no set time before labor with the loss of the mucus plug. Really, the only thing that lets you know you will have the baby soon is your bag of waters breaking.
how long after the mucus plog comes out is a baby born?

Today's the official day of release of the new album of Matisyahu, an American singer who converted to Hassidic Judaism. His music is a mix of reggae, ragga, some rap, some rock... I would say he's just creating a new variation of reggae. He became worldwide known thanks to his single King without a crown, but he already have a bunch of powerful songs in his previous works (songs like Youth, Close my eyes or Time of your song).
Anyway, here's the DDL link for the new album: Light.
Here's the song of the new single (One Day) for those who don't want to download the album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z50Yf7hFnhA
All his previous works can be easily found on Spotify, Ares, Google, etc.

Skip to comments.Converting Denmark into a Muslim Country
Posted on 11/21/2012 1:50:02 PM PST by aimhigh
Muslim immigrants in a town near Copenhagen have forced the cancellation of traditional Christmas displays this year even while spending lavishly on the Islamic Eid celebration marking the end of Ramadan.
The controversy has escalated into an angry nationwide debate over the role of Islam in post-Christian Denmark, where a burgeoning Muslim population is becoming increasingly assertive in imposing its will on a wide range of social and civic issues.
(Excerpt) Read more at gatestoneinstitute.org ...
The islamo-nazi caliphate marches on.
Europeans are incredibly nativistic, and I personally think a substantial minority is going to lash out violently over the demographic crisis.
Political parties like Golden Dawn in Greece are only going to get more popular as mainstream parties lose credibility.
...increasingly assertive in imposing its will...
Assertive? or aggressive...
Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.
Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called religious rights.
When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to the reasonable Muslim demands for their religious rights, they also get the other components under the table. Heres how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:
United States Muslim 1.0%
Australia Muslim 1.5%
Canada Muslim 1.9%
China Muslim 1%-2%
Italy Muslim 1.5%
Norway Muslim 1.8%
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:
Denmark Muslim 2%
Germany Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom Muslim 2.7%
Spain Muslim 4%
Thailand Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves along with threats for failure to comply. (United States ).
France Muslim 8%
Philippines Muslim 5%
Sweden Muslim 5%
Switzerland Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris car-burnings) . Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam Mohammed cartoons).
Guyana Muslim 10%
India Muslim 13.4%
Israel Muslim 16%
Kenya Muslim 10%
Russia Muslim 10-15%
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
Ethiopia Muslim 32.8%
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
Bosnia Muslim 40%
Chad Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon Muslim 59.7%
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:
Albania Muslim 70%
Malaysia Muslim 60.4%
Qatar Muslim 77.5%
Sudan Muslim 70%
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:
Bangladesh Muslim 83%
Egypt Muslim 90%
Gaza Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia Muslim 86.1%
Iran Muslim 98%
Iraq Muslim 97%
Jordan Muslim 92%
Morocco Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan Muslim 97%
Palestine Muslim 99%
Syria Muslim 90%
Tajikistan Muslim 90%
Turkey Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of Dar-es-Salaam the Islamic House of Peace theres supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:
Afghanistan Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia Muslim 100%
Somalia Muslim 100%
Yemen Muslim 99.9%
Of course, thats not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.
Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel. Leon Uris, The Haj
It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.
Moose-limbs never assimilate, they just take over thanks to the PC police.
That post could make a really dramatic video.
Well, lookee here. I found one problem: "Local police have sided with the Muslim attackers..."
Time for you Danes to get on your Viking warpaint and bash few skulls in, yes?
Behnke added: "There is no point in wanting to convert Denmark into a Muslim country because you yourself have a Muslim background. That must never happen. On the contrary, we must have mutual respect for one another. This is a lack of respect for Danish traditions and culture. We must not have a Denmark where Danish traditions disappear as soon as there is a Muslim majority."
Another naive, clueless Infidel who doesn't understand Islam and its objectives..-Tom
There is only one solution for Europe, and later for us: we must give up the fiction that Islam is a religion, and that it deserves the protections that we routinely give religion. Islam is a totalitarian political system and pretending that it is something else is simply suicidal.
Denmark needs to decide whether it wants to live or die, and if it wants to live, then Islam must be removed from within its borders, physically by the deportation of Muslims, intellectually by systematic exposure of its nasty ideology, and socially by the excising of all its public manifestations.
I'd offer the same prophylaxis to all of Europe, especially France, but one has to start somewhere, and Denmark might be just the place.

The Danes resisted the Nazis more than this.
GEEEEZE! Denmark is gone!
Vi ses Danmark!
I think Poland will lead the way, no way are the Muzzies going to ever get a stranglehold there, the Poles will never allow it.
I want to feel sorry for them I just don't. We have to concentrate on stopping the touchy feely 47% here in the USSA from allowing the Muslims to take over here.
They will win later, if they don't win now. They are reproducing more than Danes. If the Danes don't keep them out they've lost their country.
I'm thinking that many people, with a cogent, rational, functioning brain, already have. I know I did on 9-11-01; I just hadn't much attention to it, before that point in time.
The vast majority, though, will have that sane final thought suddenly occur just as their head is beginning to be sawed-off. The point of impending death can sometimes bring great clarity to a cloudy and confusing situation.
Bush II had the full support of the entire country when deciding what to do in response to 9/11/01, but instead chose to embrace what he knew full well was a violent political ideology, instead of the preferred course of action.
The window of opportunity has closed and now this is the future we face.
They don't seem to be taking that "must" very seriously.
"I think Poland will lead the way, no way are the Muzzies going to ever get a stranglehold there, the Poles will never allow it."
I pray to God you're right.
Compare two situations...
Situation one: a non-muslim country in the midst of a bunch of muslim countries. The muslims are always warring and lobbing rockets and terrorizing the lone non-muslim country.
Situation two: a muslim country in the midst of a bunch of non-muslim countries. The non-muslims welcome in and are tolerant of the muslims, multiculturism and all that. Handouts for those newcomers of the religion of peace.
Of course, situation one refers to Israel, and situation two refers to Denmark.
As the EU ccollapses economically the people in the countries will look for someone to point the finger at and we will see ethnic purges on a scale not yet imagined or seen before.
Immigrants who leech on the welfare state and crap out babies and an incompatible idealology to what what traditional european values are will certainly be high on the list on who to blame as well as their PC enablers.
Last time they blamed the hard working decent jewish folks who weren't all that ddifferent culturally than most eropeans and had congruent values, this time it will be the true "cultural aliens" who will earn there ire and the US won't be aaround to stop any atrocities by either side...
So far, it's Poland 1 - Moslems 0 Thanks to King Jan and his cavalry.
The other problem that everyone seems to avoid or ignore is underpopulation. Unless people start having children again, and that's more than 2 per family in order to replace and grow the population, you will eventually die out. Laws of nature and laws of numbers. After 50 years of The Pill and 40 years of abortion, The West is depleting itself of population to be replaced by Third Worlders and muslims. It's not too late but it almost is, and that's one way civilizations die out. Period.
You should read "The War After Armageddon" by Ralph Peters. Your post is essentially mirroring the prelude to the what unfolds in that work...
It is purely a one-way street so far as the Muslims are concerned. "Democracy" and Islam are polar opposites, but with the use of guile and the Islamic technique of Taqqiyah, the very practice of democracy can be and is used to promote Shari'a law and Islamic hegemony.
Until the frog finally realizes the water is too hot, but can no longer jump out, because his flesh is already cooked.
Those fine old Lutheran churches in Denmark will make remarkable mosques, when the minaret towers are added at all four corners. The stained glass and the carved representations of Christ and the saints will have to be removed as well.
I think Poland will lead the way, no way are the Muzzies going to ever get a stranglehold there, the Poles will never allow it.
"I pray to God youre right"
Just think Jan Sobieski. Deus vult!
Exactly so. Why don't more people see this?
Danish is becoming Islamish....
We had a Danish/Afghan student living with us last year to learn English. They moved to Denmark from Russia because of the free education and benefits, after having done research on various European countries. The father moved back to Russia because he was more successful in business there. He gave intermittent support. The mom and three kids were supported by the Danish welfare state on a workfare sort of basis where the mom worked in a daycare to qualify for the support.
Our student was really grateful to be a Danish citizen, but said the Danes themselves did not appreciate the gift of education that they were given, and many people her age were only in school because there is a stipend that goes with college attendance, not because they truly wanted an education or had a goal. Her family was very serious about education and she and her sisters worked and went to school.
As to assimilation, she was happy to have Danish and Afghan friends, and liked to go to clubs, and was even known to have a drink once in awhile. She is married now, to another Afghan. She says she is grateful that he did not object her doing these things, but I don't know whether that is still the case.
I think we have to remember that there are the crazy jihadis and then there are the people who left places like Afghanistan to get away from the crazy jihadis.
I'm sorry for the Danes, but they are the only ones who can fix the situation. Fight or fall.
I have a front row seat at the Death of Western Civilization.
I have long ago quit wondering about the decline and fall of Rome. We are reliving it. We could write the history just from watching the suicide of Western Civilization.
The thing is, when we are gone — the entirety of Western Civilization, not just America — the world is going to become a much more harsh, brutal, ugly place. The liberal bed-wetting leaders of the Western nations, and their UN masters and handlers, have done what the Hun could not do. They are committing suicide, handing the land and resources of the West to the gutter of the 3rd world.
Our Father in Heaven, I am on my knees to thank You for letting me be born in the 1950s and to be among the last free American people, and last fee people of the West. I am overwhelmed with gratitude that You did not choose to have me be born 100 years later into a terrible world devoid of freedom and rights for Man.
I am not one of those who thinks we are at the End of Days. I can't tell you when that will happen. I will observe however, that everything happening to day strikes me as fertile conditions for the Lord God to bring on the end of the world. Life could go on for another million years, but with all that is happening today, I would not be shocked in the least if it turns out the end is near indeed.
I am just very grateful to God that I was not born later and do not have to see the terrible world to come.

mother of all demos
By mprove on Dec 09, 2008
December 9, today, 40 years ago in 1968 Doug Engelbart presented NLS to the public. NLS was a system named after the literal meaning of being on-line with the computer – the oN-Line System – where "on-line" was not used with the sense of today to have a system connected to the Internet. There was no Internet yet. The meaning of on-line in the 1960s was to use the machine interactively! For Engelbart's Augmentation Research Center at the Stanford Research Institute this was made possible by the use of one of the first time-sharing computers.
The presentation at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco at December 9, 1968 is often referred to as "the mother of all demos". Doug Engelbart and his team presented the mouse, windows, interactive text editing, video conferencing and hypertext capabilities of NLS. A kind of magic and religious moment, as Alan Kay recalls.
Here are some excerpts from Vision and Reality of Hypertext and Graphical User Interfaces:
And finally I have some compelling interview clips for you, and of course the original recording from 1968:
- Doug Engelbart's Invisible Revolution -- don't miss the Documentary
- the 40 year old mother of all demos at the famous mouse site
