Please help with product suggestions
2 Attachment(s)
Hello. My daughter is 9 years old. I am white, with some Italian. My husband is 1/2 black and 1/2 white.
I am honestly not sure what my daughter's hair "number" is. I have looked all over the internet and can't figure it out.
I have been to many blogs with curly girls. I have tried many products and none have worked. I am at my wits end. I am asking for advice on how to care for her hair and what products to buy as well as a routine that will work for her curls.
I honestly can't afford to buy anymore products that I think will work, but don't.
I want her to love her hair. I am to the point that I am so frustrated, I just want to straighten it or use keratin.
Her hair sucks up moisture so quickly. When her hair is wet, it dries really quickly in most spots. I am running out of styles to use on her hair, as I still can't cornrow yet. I can't let her hair down, ever!
I have enclosed two pictures. One is of her hair in the morning, with product in it and nice and curly.
The second one is of her hair before she goes to bed, when she wears her hair down. It is a knotty mess, frizzy, tangled, dry.
Please help me. Thank you
She has gorgeous hair. There is no reason to cornrow her hair unless that holds some cultural significance to you. I would think cornrows would work better on hair that doesn't need to be wet styled once every three days for the amount of time they take to put in. Her hair looks as if it doesn't have a lot of moisture to last the whole day. Do you use a leave in conditioner or leave some of her rinse out conditioner in. Also do you use a gel?
I would also put her hair in two loose braids, one loose braid or a big bun (pineapple) on the top of her head before bed. That should prevent tangles.
What shampoo do you use? You may want to use a nonsulfate one. Her hair looks like it is medium texture so maybe Tresseme Naturals moisturizing conditioner and leave a little in. You can use a cheap gel like LA Looks or Dove hard hold. Dry hair with paper towels or t-shirt. It will be a little damp but let it be. No brushing.

Check out the curly girl book and the newbie threads on NC. Also www.tightlycurly.com. your daughter's hair looks low maintenance once you learn a basic routine. You can always dampen frizzy parts in the morning AND just put a little conditioner and/or gel and twirl around your finger.

Thank you, she does have such beautiful hair, that is why I need to learn to care for it, so she'll love it and feel blessed to have such curls.
I was only thinking of cornrows as a different style for her hair, since it becomes a mess when she wears it down during day.
Right now we are using the Infusium 23 shampoo, conditioner and leave-in.
I bought the CG method book and read it. I would like to follow that but, and please don't judge me, I don't know what to do or what I'm looking for, product wise.
I mean, I have read what it says to do. But, I am not sure what "drugstore" or "regular store" products would be good to use, for every aspect of the CG method. Also, I am sort of torn between 2 of the "types" listed in the CG book.
I do have gel, mousse, almost anything you can think of.
At night, I will bun or braid here hair and I put a "wave cap" on her head to keep her hair from getting knotty.
Also, I have bought those Curls Like Us Curl Cloths from CurlMart to dry her hair with.
I know you said, "no brushing" but her hair gets extremely knotty. I don't know how I am not supposed to brush it.
I do brush my hair with a Denman brush when there is a lot of conditioner in it. Once her styling products are in and unless you are styling her hair into a smooth bun or into a braid then dry with the curls like us cloth and don't brush anymore.
Unfortunately this is a trial and error process so there are no stupid questions. Don't get hung up on the curl types. They aren't important. Hair properties such as fine/medium/coarse texture and porosity are more important. What would probably work is to conditioner wash with one of the suave naturals conditioner (use it like a shampoo) and then follow up with tresseme naturals moisturizing conditioner. Comb it through with a wide tooth comb and then follow with your brush. You can also add a little olive oil to her hair. Let this sit for at least 5 minutes and then rinse most of it out. Leave just a little bit in or add a dime size to het ends and a litlle on the canopy. Add gel, a quarter size. Smooth it in with your hands. You may need to twirl some of the ringlets around your fingers to define. Dry, style in a braid or let it dry down. It may take two weeks for you to start seeing a difference. She may need a little protein in her hair. Not sure if the Infusium has that or is Curly Girl.
As for the book, she would probably benefit from the corkicelli or corkscrew or fractal routines.

Product wise. Shampoos that have the word sulfate you want to pass on. You are looking for coco betaine which is usually found in health food shampoos or cream of nature or other brands will see no sulfates on shampoo.
For conditioners, you want products that don't have words ending in cone or xane. Amodimethicone is a water soluble cone so it may not give you trouble in het hair. I would skip the other cones though.
The other things such as proteins and emollients depend on her texture (fine, medium, coarse) and porosity. I am thinking but could be wrong that her hair is medium texture and normal porosity. This means she should be able to use most products. I would skip the mousse and stick with gel. You may also want to stay away from products that have glycerin as one of the top three ingredients. Glycerin can rob hair of moisture in humid and dry climates.

Thank you. I'll look into it. We were doing the Tightly Curly method but the products keep changing their ingredients. That was working for us.
Also try argon oil. It will help keep down frizz.
Avoiding or limiting tangles is about the right products, techniques, overnight care. Looking at your daughter's end of day photos I don't think you are using anywhere near enough conditioner or not a truly moisturising one (ignore the strapline, consider ingredients). I would not bother with stylers like gel or mousse, you can conditioner-only style.
Kids don't produce sebum or sweat like adults do, if you are not using silicones that build up they don't necessarily need shampooing, you can either conditioner only wash or pre oil overnight then shampoo. This will strip and dry out the hair much less. There are videos on YouTube of parents caring for their children's naturally kinky coily hair using the CG or Tightly Curly methods.
Kynnedy Wash Day: How to Wash you Princess (TODDLERS) Hair with no Fuss! - YouTube (part of a whole series)
There are also children's curly hair products, I believe the adult CURLS line is available in both Walmart and Target now, I am guessing their kids range Curly Q's is too, that whole line is Curly Girl friendly and originally designed for kinky coily hair. If you like it you can get 32oz bottles on the CURLS website. Curly Hair Care Advice | Curly Hair Products & Natural Hair Care Products | Shampoo, Gel & More
The Infusium 23 leave in is little more than silicones it's not moisturising, it doesn't actually contain much in the way of true conditioning agents like cationic surfactants and fatty alcohols. You might be best purchasing a regular creamy type conditioner and using that as a leave in. In the short term the Infusium 23 regular conditioner you have is better than the leave in.
Please don't put a relaxer, a texlax or a keratin 'treatment' on your daughter's hair (I can tell you don't want to anyway). These contain harsh chemicals that have no business on a child's delicate skin or hair, don't believe any stylist that tells you anything different. I've heard horror stories of kids younger than yours who have already started with hair loss on their edges from being subjected to adult treatments and adult styling.
Her hair has the potential to be really beautiful. You're on the right track because you want to learn how to take care of it. Looks like it could really use some moisture. Since it has a tendency to tangle, you might want to try this http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlta...e-protein.html I use it as a protein spray, but it would be a great detangler for her.

Chocolatehairvanillahair.com. Look it up. I have three biracial daughters and your daughters hair looks like my youngest. This hair type is not hard to take care of.., I promise. I cowash her hair most of the time atleast twice a week and maybe use shampoo once a month. I use Shea moisture curl and style milk after washing/cowashing. I then pineapple her hair at night. I know how to cornrow because I have to braid my other daughters' hair, but I don't cornrow my youngest hair. Here is a pic of her hair. Attachment 36644Attachment 36645Attachment 36646
Please, please don't relax her hair!
I agree, don't relax her hair. I'm 19 now, I have hair just like your daughters, maybe a bit curlier. Any who when I was 13 I let my aunt put a relaxer on my hair, because it'd be "easier to deal with" NO my hair became dry, broke off, and looked horrible over time ofcourse. Well I decided no more a little over a year ago, you should make sure she knows her hair is beautiful, my mom constantly told me how ugly mine was and difficult, yes curly hair is a task, but she was blessed with it, no two people have the same hair, so not every routine will work for everyone, the most important thing is to keep her hair moisturized!!! Main thing!! Doesn't matter with what! Just as long as it works for her hair, baby girl has GORGEOUS hair!!!
Thanks for the feedback. I honestly don't & won't relax her hair! Just frustrated.
I've looked at chocolatehairvanillacare. I posted here to find other mothers or curlies who have close to my daughters hair to help with suggestions.
I am going to try Mixed Chicks and see how that works or maybe Shea Moisture since I've heard good things about it.
I am just in desperate need of something that holds moisture in or gives her hair moisture and something that stops the frizz, puffiness, and knots.
I want to be able to take care of her hair so she'll know what to do when she's older and wont want to relax or straighten it.
about the knots: my hair tangles more whenever I try to brush it... (10 minutes later the tangles are worse, far worse).
I stopped brushing my hair 3 months ago (only comb it on the shower) and I have faaaar less tangles than I used to have ;)
Have you tried the CG route and avoiding sulfates and silicones? Mixed Chicks is not CG and will probably not offer enough moisture. I would either try conditioner washing with Suave Naturals or a sulfate free shampoo and then follow up with Tresseme Naturals, Shea Moisture, Curls or another CG conditioner. You could still follow the tightlycurly method. If she still needs moisture then try using Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose conditioner as a weekly deep conditioner or as needed.
I think you may be slightly overwhelmed, but start simple. Her routine is the same as a straight hair person, but without sulfates and silicones and you don't dry her hair with a regular towel or comb/brush it once it is in a style or beginning to dry. I hope that helps.

I just started using aunt Jackie's. it is cheap but a very natural, good product. They have a whole line. Their Knot on My Watch is a detangler that works great and their Curl La La helps keep the hair in pretty curls without frizz. I found my at the Dollar General for $5. On curl Mart it is $11. Like I said my youngest looks like she has hair just like your daughters and those are working.
My son has a similar type of hair as your daughter. He wore it long for a long time and I just got tired of the messy hair and cut it all of. Then I became a natural and I learned a lot about curly hair products. I bought and use a lot of products on his hair and the only thing that works for his curls is Soft & Beautiful Botanicals Sculpting Foam. I wet his hair in the morning and just put a few pumps on my hand and smooth his wet hair with it. When he returns home 8 hours later, his hair looks still nice. We live in the Caribbean where is hot and humid and he sweats a lot and this product has work like a miracle on his hair. I've tried so many products and this is the only thing I would recommend.

I think I finally found a great product! These were $1.99 at Target. These worked great in my youngest daughters hair. Can't wait to try in oldest daughters hair.Attachment 36723
I almost have the exact same ethnicity as your daughter! And our hair is very similar. I would recommend to stop using the keratin line. This acted like a protein in my hair and dries it out to a crispy hot mess! Instead use something with oils or butters. Treseme naturals is my personal fav for a cheap conditioner. To make sure she keeps her curl definition, finger twist the curls. It took me a little while to learn, but now I can finger twist my entire head in under 5 min. There are tons of videos on YouTube explaining this method so I would watch a few, it seems to work on every hair type. As far as hairstyles, instead of braiding, just try twisting. You can fake a French braid look with twists and its super easy!

/// SOPA Markup Halted; Opponents Get a Little More Time
With 31 co-sponsors on both sides of the aisle, the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is likely unstoppable in the Judiciary Committee, despite a well-orchestrated and highly visible campaign to kill it by SOPA opponents both in and out of the hearing room. But the inevitable will have to wait for another day. With votes looming on the House floor, Judiciary Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, the lead sponsor of SOPA, was forced to adjourn the markup in its second day "until the next early practical day." That could be next week or early 2012. Committee members, especially opponents, were no doubt breathing a sigh a relief after soldiering through a 12-hour day on Thursday and an hour Friday morning, until Smith adjourned about 1:30 p.m. following a two-hour recess. The markup was, if anything, great theater until its abrupt adjournment. Hoping to defy the odds and delay the markup, SOPA opponents Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., joined by other members such as Rep.

We are still on the clay this week as focus switches over to the ATP World Tour 500 event in Hamburg, Germany.
This is one of the top tournaments on the summer clay circuit and the centre court there is the largest one in Germany. Heading up the field this week is David Ferrer, who, despite being such a brilliant clay court specialist, has never landed the Hamburg title, his best finish being a semi final appearance back in 2009.
The Spaniard goes as top seed this week and he will be looking to pick up some form after suffering a surprise quarter final exit last week in Sweden on the dirt. Ferrer lost there to Carlos Berlocq and that followed an early exit from Wimbledon for Ferrer as well. So it is coming to the time of the season where he needs to dig deep and you feel that with some action back on clay last week under his belt, he should make a good case for himself this week.
The field laying down the challenge to Ferrer's supremacy is tricky, more than anything for the Spaniard. If Ferrer is on top of his game, then there shouldn't be issues. Fabio Fognini is number two seed as the Italy is looking to defend the title he won here last year over Federico Delbonis. He has gone on to win a third ATP Tour title since them and had a 3-5 record in the final of ATP events. A semi final on clay, where he is most at home, last week in Stuttgart should serve as decent preparation for this week's challenge.
Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber will have a big support on his side and he has taken a title on home soil already this season, winning in Dusseldorf. Never been past the quarterfinals in Hamburg though, but could make for a decent each way shot for punters this week. Along with Figini, other previous winners in the field are Spain's Tommy Robredo, who lost in the opening round of Bastad last week, and Gilles Simon.
Frenchman Simon is probably the best dark shot of the tournament. He went to the semi finals of Nice on clay back in May and then gave Milos Raonic an epic battle at Roland Garros in the third round. There are clearly stronger options in the field, but Simon looks to be some great value this week to fly under the radar and at least make the final four here. There is a pretty evenly matched field out and the field is wide, wide open here.
It should be a case of Ferrer v The Field if quality is anything to go by, because he is the standout talent. He has won at least one tournament every season since 2010 and he beat Fognini in the final of Buenos Aires this season on clay to claim the 21st title of his career.

The Broken Bells are on to a very good thing.
The new super-group features Shins' front man James Mercer and super-producer Danger Mouse AKA Brian Burton. The duo have come up with a cool fusion of electro psychedelic and pop sounds that's going to take the Broken Bells way beyond their first album.
The group's selling out venues around the country and the Broken Bells are planning a second CD. That's why Saturday's Broken Bells' show at the Gothic is sold out.

Three fantastic events during one weekend under one sky
Breaking with all previous conventions, the upcoming Party on the River/Fiesta del Rio will be three major events wrapped into one; set to collide where they've never been presented before.
Party on the River/Fiesta del Rio is scheduled for May 4 from 1-8:30 p.m. and May 5 from 1-7 p.m. For the first time ever, the event will take place at Cielo Grande Recreation Area; taking full advantage of the locale's almost-installed amphitheater. It's $5 to get in to Party on the River/Fiesta Del Rio, while children 5 and younger get in for free.
Party on the River/Fiesta del Rio — an annual celebration of local culture, art, food and flair — will be joined by the Valley Vintage Motor Car Club show as well as the Old Timers Balloon Rally.
Sitting behind a desk in a non-assuming office at the Roswell Parks and Recreation Department, Recreation Supervisor Joe Vargas is busy on two lines — his office phone and his cell phone — coordinating the acts, entertainment, balloonists and car enthusiasts that will be part of the weekend event.
"There's been three major events that happened on the same weekend … which are now all combined," Vargas said. These include the Old Timers Balloon Rally, which, now in its 26th year, has always taken place at the Wool Bowl soccer complex, and an antique car and motorcycle show.
Bill Glen, member of the Old Timers and balloon rally organizer, said the event at Cielo Grande will light up — quite literally — with hot air balloons on May 4 around 6:15 a.m. At that point, balloon enthusiasts from across the nation would have gotten warmed up after a visit to area schools May 3, where they plan to demonstrate the craft of ballooning to children.
On May [auth] 4, more than 60 balloons will take off from Cielo Grande during the early morning hours, dotting the sky with floating samples of the quintessential New Mexican pastime.
Also on May 4, the balloonists will help The First Tee of the Pecos Valley with a golf ball drop. For $10, one may purchase a ticket with a matching number on a golf ball. One thousand numbered golf balls will be dropped over a golf hole from a tethered balloon, floating about 75 feet in the air.
The four golf balls to come closest to the hole will win prizes for those with corresponding tickets. Adrienne Fields, executive director of The First Tee of the Pecos Valley, said first place wins $1,500, second place gets a big screen TV, third place gets a laptop computer and fourth place gets a $250 gift certificate to Sam's Club. Tickets may be purchased at the NMMI Golf Course.
At dusk on May 4, balloonists will join members of the Goddard High School band to do a fire concert, during which balloonists will light up the tanks of their balloons in sequence with music played by the band. Members of the GHS band are selling tickets for the fire concert for $3; all proceeds will benefit the band.
May 4 will be the only day that the VVMCC will be at Cielo Grande. Touted as the oldest car show in New Mexico, VVMCC's vintage car and motorcycle show is now in its 39th year. It is free to attend, however, there will be a charge for food sold by the Roswell Assurance Home and ice cream sold by high school students.
VVMCC member Rita Kane-Doerhoefer said it's not too late to join the car show and that any kind of car is welcome. It costs $25 to enter a vehicle, and those who enter get two wristbands for Party on the River.
Vehicles will be set up from 7-9 a.m. Judging begins at 9 a.m. and trophies will be handed out around 3 p.m.
Kane-Doerhoefer said there's no way to know how many awards will be given, as entries are still being accepted and award categories depend on the number and kinds of vehicles at the event. However, she expects more than 100 vehicles to be at the show.
Cars on display will include two of Kane-Doerhoefer's own vehicles: a 1957 Thunderbird and a 1969 GTO convertible.
For a donation of $5, car show attendees will get the chance to win an 18-foot car hauler. Tickets will be sold during the event and proceeds will benefit the car club in its support of other events and nonprofit organizations.
May 4 will be dedicated to the "Party on the River" portion of the event. Typically featuring country western music, the day's entertainment headliner is Gloriana, a country trio from Nashville who's been featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Gloriana's second studio album, "A Thousand Miles Left Behind," was released last year and debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's country albums chart.
May 5 is all for Fiesta del Rio. Intended to feature Hispanic/Tejano music, the entertainment headliner will be Al Hurricane, Al Hurricane Jr. and Ram Herrera.
Née Alberto Nelson Sanchez, Al Hurricane is an Albuquerque native known for his rock 'n' roll and Latin rhythms. He has a repertoire filled with cumbias, rancheras and oldies tunes. He's performed with artists such as Fats Domino, Marvin Gaye and Chubby Checker. His son Al Hurricane Jr. has followed in his father's musical path.
Tejano musician Ramiro (Ram) Herrera started making a name for himself in the early 1980s. The Grammy-nominated artist has won recognitions as Vocalist, Entertainer, Song and Album of the Year.
For Vargas, hosting Party on the River/Fiesta del Rio at Cielo Grande was a logical choice, despite the fact that the amphitheater — a million-dollar project — is not quite complete. Still, he said, grass is growing in the area and there is a slope, perfect for viewing the headlining acts. There is also plenty of room to roam at Cielo Grande.
"One of the advantages of being (at Cielo Grande) is that there's plenty of parking," Vargas said. "There's just never been enough parking, plus, we've outgrown the park and the zoo." Recreation Superintendent Laurie Jerge agreed and said she's excited to see so many events happen during one weekend, all in one place.
"Joe thought we should (bring) all three events under one sky," Jerge said. "It's guaranteed to bring more entertainment for the entire family. It's going to have so much variety."
What has not changed about the event is its volleyball and flag football tournaments, activities for children such as Kids Korner and inflatables, and a multitude of vendors, including about 40 different food stands.
Initially known as Party on the Pecos/Cinco de Mayo, the weekend celebration was first held May 4, 1996, thanks to the sponsorship of the Roswell community and the Roswell Parks and Recreation Department.
Cahoon Park was home to Party on the Pecos/Cinco de Mayo from 1996-2003. The event changed its name to Party on the River/Fiesta del Rio in 2004. Also that year, the event moved to the Spring River Park and Zoo, where it was held annually until 2009, when it returned to Cahoon Park.
Despite all the hard work that's gone into coordinating the 2013 event, Jerge said the success of the upcoming Party on the River/Fiesta del Rio depends on the Roswell community.
"It's really important for the community to support and embrace (Party on the River/Fiesta del Rio)," Jerge said, noting that the event this year will make history.
For more information about Party on the River/Fiesta del Rio, call the Roswell Parks and Recreation Department, 624-6720. For information about the volleyball and football tournaments, contact the Yucca Center at 624-6719. Those who wish to be a vendor may call Shelia McKnight at 624-6718.
To purchase tickets for the golf ball drop, call Adrienne Fields at 623-4444. To enter the car show, call 627-8292.

PORTLAND, OR -- VendScreen Inc. reported that its payment touchscreens have driven a pronounced sales lift for Evergreen Vending. More than 1,000 devices have been providing cashless services on Tukwila, WA-based Evergreen's 40 routes in Washington and Oregon since April 2013.
For Evergreen, VendScreen is more than a card swipe. It not only provides cashless functionality, but it also enables remote data and product and nutrition information in one device.
"We know the public now expects a card swipe on vending machines, but we wanted to provide more than that," said Jim Brinton, president of Evergreen Vending. "The touchscreen lets us provide product information to consumers and also lets them communicate to us right from the machine."
Brinton reported an average 20% sales lift for machines that upgraded from cash and coin to VendScreen, and a 6% to 12% lift for machines that went from standard cashless to VendScreen. "We project ROI from these new installations in six to 18 months, depending on the machine's traffic," he said.
Evergreen's next step is to leverage the real-time data from VendScreen to help prekit routes. "We recently integrated the devices with our Streamware VMS, so we expect to start achieving more efficiencies on the backend in the next few weeks," said Brinton.
Evergreen is planning to deploy an additional 2,000 VendScreen devices in 2014.

Li Ka-shing's stake in investment property is far less than what it seems
Contrary to Beijing think tank's fears, the Cheung Kong boss is far less active in the market than it seems and a pull-out would have little effect
Li Ka-shing's apparent move to reduce his investments in Hong Kong could damage the city's economic competitiveness, says a study by a central government think tank.
SCMP, May 10
And just how would it have that result? Let us first consider the nature of property development, Mr Li's primary business.
It is a very capital intensive business, often requiring multibillion-dollar payments for land with the money only to be recouped several years later from sales of completed developments and with the developer carrying the risk of market movements throughout.
But while risky for the developer, it is not always capital intensive for him.
The Hong Kong practice is for the developer to borrow the money for the land purchase from a bank and then finance construction from pre-sales of units in the development. He may not have to put up any of his own money at all.
Of course if it all goes wrong and the property market falls after he has bought development sites at the top of the market, he may need deep pockets to stay solvent.
Mr Li's genius, however, is in calling the up and down turns of the market better than most other developers. He has never really had to reach deep into his pockets because of having called the market badly wrong and banks have always been happy to advance him money.
He is also far less active in property rentals than other big players in property. His flagship, Cheung Kong (Holdings), for instance shows only HK$28.7 billion of investment property in its latest accounts. The equivalent figure for Sun Hung Kai Properties is HK$281 billion.
Thus I cannot see how the Hong Kong property market would really suffer all that badly if he were to pull his money out of it. He really does not have as much money in it as his stature in this town suggests.
The bigger question, of course, is whether he will sell out of Hutchison and Hongkong Electric, the two biggest holdings he has through Cheung Kong.
The short answer is that he has already long asset stripped them of their lucrative property development sites.
Hongkong Electric, in particular, is now only a slow growth power company with restricted earnings, in financial terms little better than a safe and solid bond, which is a form of investment that has never had much attraction to Mr Li.
Hutchison still has the potential of being the biggest player in any redevelopment of the Kwai Chung container port once we recognise that this port business is in terminal decline and cannot really compete with ports across the border.
Mr Li may keep Hutchison for that property project but he never bought the company for its supermarkets and mobile phones and there is no reason why he should be particularly loyal to them now. His personal attributable interest in the stock is no more than about 20 per cent anyway.
I think this Beijing think tank, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, is looking at it the wrong way. In an efficient market economy no one is so big that the economy's competitiveness will suffer if he sells out. No one has such superior insight as consistently to know better than the market what the fortunes of that economy will be in the future.
Mr Li has threatened several times in the past to leave Hong Kong and never done it. Good luck to him if he does. I am sure he would wish Hong Kong no ill if he stages an exit and I am sure we will suffer no ill.
Message to Ashley Alder, chief executive of the Securities and Future Commission: Sir, we are waiting to hear from you whether your rough tough regulators will take formal action against the transport secretary for deliberately hiding crucial price-sensitive information on MTR Corp from the investing public.
He is a director of the company, he has publicly admitted the offence, and you have new legislation on hand to stop that sort of thing. Come on, swing that big stick. Let's see you do it. Prove to us that you don't just pick on small fry.

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
You've heard their commercials all over satellite radio and wondered if it could be true; hot but bored housewives looking for a man like you to cheat on their husbands with. A different approach for marketing an online dating/personals site for sure, but is that what you can really expect to find inside? I know I've been curious and since this is my first chance to review what's inside I hope I have enough credits to really take part in some action. Membership credits start at 100 credits for $49 bucks and up to their "Affair" package priced at $249 for 1000 credits.
Large Number of Personal Ads.
As far as personals sites go, especially in the world of Adult online dating, Ashley Madison is probably one of the largest with more than 14,850,000 active members online. I have to say I was a bit impressed with some of the profiles here, too. Compared to many sites we see, there does appear to be some solid users looking to hook up and people who've taken the time to fill out some personal information in their profiles.
Advanced Search Tool.
While this is probably the most advanced part of the sites design, it does offer users the ability to browse through profiles by many filtering tools and specifics. It lets you narrow the search by language, last log-in, age, relationship status, ethnicity, physical features, location, and more. Another cool feature is the ability to view who has recently viewed your profile.
Other Good Stuff:
Site Design And Set-up is Very Basic.
And when I say basic, I mean too basic. After all the press that this site gets and how much they claim to make of their member's on shows like Howard Stern, I was a little taken back to the super old school looking site set-up. There are no fancy graphics here, but that aside, other than a search tool and a few features like instant messaging, there really isn't much to this site. I'm used to seeing adult personals sites with the ability to chat live & on cam, send different kinds of badges, gifts, messages, community forums, articles, etc. There is almost nothing like that here, just a basic personals listing site and that's it.
Starting at $49 bucks for 100 credits and not to be able to do much other than browse around without them, this is one expensive personals site. The credit system works like this:
5 Credits to send priority and open collect mail messages.
5 Credits only for the first mail message. Additional mail messages to the same member are FREE!
AshleyGifts - Virtual Gifts are available for 20, 30, and 50 credits.
Costs Per Instant Message Session:
30 Minutes = 30 Credits
60 Minutes = 50 Credits
Yep, it's expensive!
Minor Negatives:
An adults personals site for affairs but more basic and expensive than I expected.
I was a bit surprised at the extremely basic set-up and design of Ashley Madison. Given all its press I guess I was expecting a super advanced set-up here. In fact, the only thing that seems to be advanced is the speed at which they manage to drain your precious credits. This is one expensive personals site that's for sure, but maybe that's why their hookup success rate is claimed to be so high? There is some genius in simplicity and with more than 14,850,000 ads online, the prospect of finding someone to have an affair with looks good.

Pete Wentz
Pete Wentz is an American rock star that has crazy teenage girls chasing him in every city that he plays. Recently married to Ashlee Simpson Pete Wentz's career continues to skyrocket as he and the reality TV show actress continue to pursue careers.
Holding one of the biggest bashes of what's already been an event-laden weekend, Rolling Stone's Bacardi Bash: 150 Years of Rocking The Party went down in in Indianapolis, Indiana on Saturday night (February 4).
Held at The Crane Bay, the guest list included "Twilight" actress Nikki Reed and her "American Idol" alum husband Paul McDonald, as well as actresses Alyssa Milano and Anna Faris, who brought her father Jack along for the Super Bowl soiree.
Relationships come and go as people seek out that special someone to spend the rest of their days with, and Hollywood certainly sees its fair share of unsuccessful tries at love.
The year of 2011 witnessed a number of high-profile marriages, though there were just as many couples who decided that it just wasn't meant to be.
They made the decision to end their marriage back in February, and now Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are divorced.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, the marriage, which took place in 2008, was officially over on November 22nd.
Celebrating her son Bronx's third birthday, Ashlee Simpson was spotted out and about in Los Angeles last night (November 21).
The "Pieces of Me" songstress was joined by both her ex-husband/Bronx's dad Pete Wentz as well as her new main squeeze Vincent Piazza, making for an awkward outing.
As the second annual Art Mere/Art Pere event took place in West Hollywood, CA on Thursday (October 6), plenty of art-loving celebrities gathered together at Smashbox Studios to check out the newest creations.
Among the partygoers in attendance were Reese Witherspoon and her hubby Jim Toth, who posed alongside fellow Hollywood couple Matthew McConaughey and wife Camila Alves.
His marriage with Ashlee Simpson ended earlier this year, and Pete Wentz has now found love again.
The "Fall Out Boy" rocker was spotted leaving the Playhouse in Hollywood on Thursday night (September 22) with new girlfriend, Meagan Camper, following close behind.
Celebrating fatherhood and paternal bonds, dad's around the world are being toasted for all that they do as family patriarchs during the Father's Day holiday (June 19).
Among the proud papas are the hard-working stars of Hollywood, with big names such as Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise being among the men juggling daddy duties with their demanding filming and promotional schedules.
Making the most of the beautiful weather, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were spotted out with their son Bronx in Los Angeles yesterday (May 29).
The former Fall Out Boy bassist and his former wife headed off to a farmers market with their boy, and from all angles it looked like they were getting along quite well.
Organized to pay tribute to the up-and-coming talent in Tinseltown, the 13th Annual Young Hollywood Awards were held in Los Angeles, California on Friday night (May 20).
Presented by Bing at Club Nokia, the pre-taped show featuring stars such as Ellen Pompeo, Camilla Belle and Armie Hammer will be aired on May 26th on Ion.

The Leopard is Loose
Are you a Mac user? If so, I'm sure you've heard many different stories about the brand new operating system, called the Leopard, right? You have probably heard varying views and maybe even some different release dates for it, but after you finish reading this tip, you will know exactly what's going on. If you recall, I mentioned a few things about the Leopard in last Friday's newsletter and after doing that, I wanted to be extra sure that we were all on the same page with this new product. So, let's get to it, shall we? Keep reading for the full scoop!
First of all, I can now say without any reservations that the Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5) was released on October 26, 2007. (In case you don't have a calendar handy, that was just this past Friday!) The Leopard was let loose around 6 p.m. and it is retailing for approximately $129. Originally, there was word about this being released six months ago, so this really has been a long time coming. I can also bet that it has been pretty difficult for some of you avid Mac users to wait that long, am I right? Well, you don't have to wait any longer. You can now purchase your copy of the Leopard at any Apple retail store or from any Apple authorized reseller.
Like I said, this new operating system is going for the likes of $129, so you may be wondering if it's really worth that kind of price. Well, try all of this on for size. The Leopard comes with over 300 new features, including a brand new desktop with Stacks, a much easier way to access your files from the Dock, a revamped Finder function, as well as, never before seen features that go by the names of Quick Look, Spaces and Time Machine. And that's just the beginning! You can read even more about the new features here if you're interested. I'm telling you, Apple really has thought of everything with this one. So, if you haven't gotten your copy yet, I'd suggest getting it as soon as you're able. It's sure to take your Mac experience to the next level!

By Richard Clarke
Arsène Wenger has praised Arsenal's 'grace under pressure' at Birmingham on Saturday.
The visitors took the lead thanks to Robin van Persie's deflected free-kick after 13 minutes but would only kill the game in the second half through Samir Nasri's opportunistic strike and Roger Johnson's own goal.
However, it was not the quality or even the number of the goals that impressed Wenger, it was the courage they showed to produce their football in difficult situations.
"It takes a kind of bravery to get the ball down and play," said Wenger. "That is always the most important thing and why I was most pleased on Saturday.
"We tried to play everytime. Sometimes we lost the ball but we tried. Even under pressure.
"After the Chelsea game the team was on a high because we got that burden out of the way. But after we were quickly down again because we dropped two points against Wigan. But I am pleased we were quickly back up again.
"This team could see the positive effect of the Chelsea win. It was there for all to see on Saturday. You can see we have the belief in our game now. That is what will make the title race really interesting."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Training Complex Published at
New training complex presentation
Paris Saint-Germain have just constructed a brand new training complex. And now you can see it for yourselves...
The facades of the new training complex are constructed from two materials: wood and metal. The change in rhythm and nature of the facades was conceived with the aim of reducing the exterior surface area of the building to allow it to blend with the natural surrounds. The interiors are predominantly grey and white to allow changes of decoration to suit various occasions (sponsors, dinners, events...) The flooring is stud friendly and sturdy, for easy maintenance.
Green Spaces
The total grassed surface area, including football pitches is 24,446 m² in a total surface area of 28,888 m², in other words, nearly 85%. A total of 35 tall trees were planted or replanted.
The players needs have been seen to with an aqua-therapy centre, massage room, treatment room and recreational area... All the players 'living' areas (treatment room, warm-up room, recreational area) face onto the playing pitches to enable injured players, or players receiving treatment to still feel part of training. Symbolically, the player zones are found in the heart of the building.
Record Time
The preparation of the terrain began in January 2008, while the first stone was laid in July 2008, to be completed on October 24, 2008 – just over three months later. The installation of furniture and equipment began before the official inauguration on Tuesday, November 4.
|The training complex in numbers
28,888: Total Surface Area
1,761: The surface area of the new training complex building
105: In days, the construction time
35: The number of trees planted or replanted
28: The number of rooms, excluding toilets, bathrooms and storage rooms
29: The number of parking places inside the complex
7.40: In metres, the maximum height of the building
6: The number of parking places for two-wheel motorised transport
5: In millions, the number of euros the entire training complex cost
Charles Villeneuve (PSG president)
"This is a very important moment in Paris Saint-Germain's history. You have to understand that never before, since the club's founding in 1970, has an owner ever undertaken such work. It's like night and day compared to what the professional squad have been working with until now. This step forward brings with it, a certain ambition. We are proud of this new work tool, on par with Europe's biggest clubs. The next objective, for the next few years, is to match Europe's biggest club's on the pitch as well as off it."
Paul Le Guen (PSG coach)
"When I arrived at the club, one of my priorities was a new training complex. I really wanted to stay here because I like the setting here at Saint-Germain-en-Laye. I was convinced that this was the ideal site. Indeed, it would be difficult to find a more beautiful setting. I was lucky enough to be heard and supported. We then thought and conceived a complex truly adapted to the needs of a professional football squad. For this building, I was inspired by other complexes I have worked in, like that of Lyon, and also Glasgow Rangers."
Mickaël Landreau (PSG goalkeeper)
"When I arrived at PSG, as a newcomer, I was surprised by the training conditions for the players. I think it's important to keep in mind that this isn't a luxury, but an important part of our day to day working lives. PSG now has an ideal training complex to work in, and above all, work well in. It's important for us to enjoy our time in a place we feel at home in, which wasn't necessarily the case before."
Sylvain Armand (PSG defender)
"This new complex will change a few habits we have. We no longer have any excuses regarding the pitches or the equipment. I hope the new complex will help us daily in our aim to finally get results worthy of a club with the standing of PSG."

Re: IF the Cadillac ATS-V gets a V8...
GM used to allow all variants to look identical, save for the grill and wheel covers. If that's what you mean by bad badge engineering, I agree. There is no sense having clones on the market. I suppose that is the definition of badge engineering. I don't think they do that anymore though. They make enough changes in the fascias, skirts, wheels, and interiors for then to have their own identities. The Lambdas are a great example of that. So is Zeta. I am betting Alpha will continue that trend if they so choose.

Here's hoping this little trick works for your state, backtest please.
First, I do not do this for every draw. It seems to work well when the draw history indicates that a two or 3 digit return is in order.
Example: 11/26/12 eve 6848 lookup your states draw history what comes after and I go mid to mid or eve to eve as far as draw history.
9/7/12 4610
7/27/12 0126 The red highlighted #'s indicate a 2 digit return, however sometimes the 2 digit return
4/7/12 9869 takes a minute before it shows. So I wanted to find out what would hit in between.
1/28/12 8868
9/21/11 4677
Next you take the draw 6848 and add +3 using lottery math to each digit giving you 9171 your next possible pairs.
Now you have 9171 take the #'s you don't have: *0234568
2#'s are coming from the 9171 and 2# are coming from the above set .* It is imperative that you use the history to pair the #'s. Looking at the history above 9 is paired with 8, you now have 98 as a possible next draw, now pair it with 7, thats 987 a possible triad for an upcoming draw.
On 11/27/12 mid 9897 hit.
Here's an example of a triad hitting:
11/30/12 mid 1220
draw history what comes after: 6/19/12 5810
6/13/12 9242
5/22/12 9058
5/13/11 1238
1/23/11 3010
Red highlighted area indicates 2 digit return off last draw. I can use my trick!
Add +3 to each digit using lottery math to draw 1220 you get 4553.
Your next pair or triad will come from 4553, again list #'s you do not see: *0126789 and don't forget to use your history to pair the #'s up 2 will come form 4553 and 2 from the #'s you don't see* in most cases. In this case however 3 digits came from the top and 1 from *list.
12/4/12 mid 4055
Usually the pairs or triads come in 1-6 draws. Hope it helps someone nail a box hit!!
Good Luck!!
Remember to flip 6's 9's, mirror front and end #'s, and do front/back3 for a hit!
Thanks for posting this lele!! Will test this out!
Your welcome Mema55, good luck!!
Thanks for sharing lele100!
You're welcome, hope it can be of some use! Good luck!

Happy post-Presidents' Day — a sad time, actually, because now it's a pretty long slog until the next Monday holiday. But you can bravely face the next few months with a sense of accomplishment and purpose by whipping up a batch of wonderful homemade cottage cheese, the kind that chef Vickie Reh makes at Buck's Fishing & Camping. It's creamy, it's dreamy, it's just the ticket to give you that warm retro feeling on a chilly day. Bonnie S. Benwick tells us how to do it. And there's a recipe, of course.
Elsewhere in Food, Delece Smith-Barrow introduces her Guyanese parents to African food with the goal of inspiring them to eat a little more healthfully. But is it a change they can swallow? And Daniel Fromson tells us how the forthcoming Bluejacket brewery and restaurant will alter the landscape of craft brewing in the Washington area.
Got culinary queries? Now's the time to ask. Join us today at noon for the weekly Free Range chat. If you can't be there for the live action, just submit a question in advance, then tune in after the chat to see if we answered it. And even if we didn't, come back to this space next week to see if I answered it as a Chat Leftover.
Here's one we couldn't get to in a previous chat:
A colleague brought me some candy bonbons back from the U.K., so I thought I'd make him some American bonbon cookies so we could compare notes. The recipe is from the 1961 edition of "Betty Crocker's New Picture Cookbook" and calls for a butter-flour-powdered sugar dough. You form a small amount of the dough around an almond or piece of chocolate and then bake. When cooled, you dip the cookie into icing and put a piece of nut or candy on the top. With three doughs, three icings and an assortment of "fillings," the bonbons are rather impressive. Mine were not. The first batch came out like pancakes instead of little globes. I refrigerated the second two batches of dough, which helped. Are there any other solutions to making butter-based cookies NOT spread when baked?
In the world of cookie complaints, it seems like about half involve cookies that spread more than you want them to, and the other half involve cookies that don't spread enough.
Fortunately, there are fixes for both.
That Betty Crocker bonbon cookie has a couple of characteristics that make it susceptible to spreading. First, the fat of choice is butter, and though we all love the stuff, we also know that its low melting point encourages cookies to spread and flatten. And second, the recipe calls for confectioners' sugar. As the estimable Shirley O. Corriher explains in "BakeWise," the smaller the granules of sugar, the more easily they dissolve and the less the cookie keeps it shape. "Confectioners' sugar can cause the greatest spread because it dissolves easily," she notes.
In the case of your bonbon cookies, you did the right thing by chilling the dough. The original Betty Crocker recipe didn't include that as a step, but it just makes sense. In fact, a very similar recipe appeared a few years ago in a blog on the King Arthur Flour Web site, and it advised refrigerating the dough for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight. "You can choose to skip the chilling step for these cookies," the recipe says, but "they'll bake up flatter, and not as nicely domed as when chilled." Interestingly, KAF used a chocolate version of the recipe, adding Dutch-process cocoa powder, which because of its alkaline properties would tend to encourage spreading. Shirley Corriher advises using regular cocoa to lessen the chances of a dough flattening out.
Besides chilling the dough until it's good and cold, what else can you do? You can bake the cookies on parchment paper; a greased baking sheet helps cookies spread. You can use baking sheets that are light in color, not dark. You definitely should use an accurate oven thermometer to make sure your oven temp isn't too low, a situation that would work against your getting a nice high cookie. Finally, you can follow David Lebovitz's advice and use European-style butter, such as Plugra, which contains less water than many standard U.S. butters and therefore helps the cookie shape stay stable.
Give those bonbons another try! They are adorable. I'd love to know how it works out.

I live in Brooklyn, in an area where grocery stores and bodegas (small, largely Hispanic-owned delis) dot the landscape like dandelions. 20 of them are within walking distance of my apartment. Two stock cardamom. One of them, for $10.49 per bottle. The other, for $0.50.
And this, friends and neighbors, is why everyone should shop in ethnic markets.
Ideally, obtaining the warm-flavored spice shouldn't have been that much of a pain in the tuchus. It's pretty prominent in Indian, Mid-Eastern, and Asian cooking, and my neighborhood is one of the most diverse on Earth. One would think the streets would be lined with it. Nope. It took a special trip to the Turkish grocers to procure a baggie of the damned stuff.
On the upside, besides the 2000% savings, that store has a new #1 fan – and not the stalky, weird kind, either. The good kind. The kind that will use the Turkish folks' spices exclusively from now on. On the downside, it's kind of a haul. And I get lost very, very easily. (Very easily.) But, no matter. A $10 savings is totally worth it.
Anyway - yeah, eat the bread. But more than that, support your local ethnic market. Everybody wins. (But mostly you.)
Chai-Spiced Apple Oatmeal Bread
12 slices
Adapted from Everybody Likes Sandwiches.
1 cup oats (Quaker Old-fashioned good, but not instant)
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup skim milk
1/3 cup honey
1 egg
4 small Cortland or 2 Jonamac apples, diced (or any tart apple)
1) Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a standard-sized loaf pan. Cooking spray works, too.
2) In a medium mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
3) In a large bowl, mix milk, honey, oil, and egg. Pour dry ingredients into the wet ones, and stir until everything is just combined. Gently stir in the diced apples.
4) Pour batter into prepped loaf pan. Bake for about 45 or 50 minutes. Top should be pleasantly brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread should come out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

St. Barnabas School
Alameda, CA
- St. Barnabas School closed in June 2008 according to this article in the Catholic Voice
Parent Reviews
Parents, have you used this organization's services? Sign in to post a review.
Feb 2007
Thinking about taking my daughter out of Lum Elementary in Alameda and placing her at St. Barnabas for 1st grade. Does anyone know anything about either of these schools. I don't particularly care for Lum, but I would like some other opinions. We are bi-racial and I feel a little out of place at Lum could just be me.
St. Barnabas has very small class size, but because of this they combine the 1st and Kindergarten classes. Your child will receive a lot of individual attention, but they also combine 5th and 6th grade, I believe. I didn't exactly like this. Please also consider Saint Joseph Elementary. My son's class is pretty diverse ethnically and we love the community there. It is also a very academically challenging school with art, music and spanish.
Nov 2003
For those considering a private/parochial school, I would strongly encourage them to look at St. Barnabas. My son spent three great years there. It is a small school, with all that wonderful intimacy and family atmosphere. The teachers are committed and experienced. Lots of folks seem willing to only look at St. Philip Neri or St. Joes. Perhaps they won't consider St. Barnabas because it is on the ''wrong'' end of town. However, this was a real plus for us, in that the diversity beats what you find at any other private school and many other public schools in Alameda. Sr. Marie is a great principal. Kids graduating from 8th grade regularly get scholarships to many of the best Catholic high schools in the East Bay. Just give it a look. Alameda Mom

Yesterday's news of the tragic death of comedian Robin Williams has opened up a national conversation about depression and suicide. Among these is an article from Dan Diamond at Forbes, Robin Williams Death Spotlights the Growing Risk of Suicides Among Baby Boomers. The article explains that suicide rates, particularly among middle-aged Americans, rose 11% between 2006 and 2011.
Today on Right Here, Right Now with Patrick Madrid, Patrick will discuss this article, rising suicide rates, and how to help those in need. To join the discussion, call 888-701-5992 between 1-2pm Pacific. If you aren't able to tune-in live, you can listen to the show anytime through our Audio Archives.
If you are struggling with depression you don't have to do it alone. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline has trained, local counselors available 24/7 and they can be reached at 1-800-273-8255. Their web site also has excellent resources for those looking to help family or friends who are experiencing depression or suicidal thoughts.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us:
2283 We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives. By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary repentance. The Church prays for persons who have taken their own lives.
Let us as a Church pray for the repose of the soul of Robin Williams, and all who have taken their own lives. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

Nerve Issue? (afraid of loud sounds)
My neighbor has a lovely GSD she got for her bday a year ago. He is really good with people and/or dogs. But, when it comes to objects and loud sounds he seems to get scared.
For example, last night we were walking our dogs and a loud motorcycle passed by and the sound scared. He walked back or to the side and tries to get as far as possible. Also, when you put an object in front of him he tries to avoid it as well. She told me the dog trainer she goes with told her there is nothing she can do to get rid of that. Is that true?
I would say he has confidence issues, but then again he looks like a confident dog when around people and dogs. So I don't know.
Is there anything she can do to help him out? Any comments/suggestions will help out.
P.S. little background on the dog he came from a backyard breeder and according to her he has not had any bad experience with anything so far...
You can definitely help with issues like this. How many dog classes and what training has she attended to be proactive with this. Not a sudden problem, right? But one she's noticed and been working on proactively?
Has she been clicker training? HUGE help to desensitize and start linking up GOOD things (treats) with scary things (noise) so the dogs start to think of loud noises as meaning LIVER, CHEESE, ROAST BEEF and that's not scary at all :)

Gray's Ward 2 Town Hall Meetings
A level assessment and a promising future
Presumptive mayor Vincent Gray's version of a magical mystery tour through all of the city's 8 wards continued apace at the Foundry Methodist Church in Dupont Circle in Ward 2, one of the two heavily white wards where voters favored incumbent Mayor Adrian Fenty by wide margins in the recent Democratic primary.
In this, and in a Ward 3 town hall "getting to know you" meeting meant for folks to get a closer look at Gray after the primary, he appeared to make strong strides in easing some of the resentment still nurtured by many Fenty voters in Northwest Washington.
After favorable reports from a Ward 3 town hall meeting, Gray again showed a strong, detailed and comfortable command of a variety of issues and topics, a hearty sense of humor, strong, no-nonsense views and an earnest desire for inclusion in problem-solving by the public.
All the much-ballyhooed suspicion, fear and worry about Gray's commitment to education reform, and ties to DC's less appealing political past did not surface among an audience composed of the city's most far-flung and affluent ward, stretching from Southwest, to Dupont Circle, the Penn Quarter District (and the less affluent Shaw area), Logan Circle and Georgetown.
Part of the reason was that Gray's biggest bet noire as an issue—what in the world to do with the nationally prominent, polarizing reform icon and controversial DCPS Chancellor Michelle Rhee—appeared to have resolved itself as if by magic. In a press conference the previous day, Rhee, Gray, and Fenty all appeared together to make the official announcement that Rhee would be resigning her position as of the end of October. Everyone involved insisted that the decision, reached after numerous phone calls, was, "a mutual agreement."
Sure enough, he once again repeated adamantly what he said at the press conference and other meetings: "She did not abruptly resign. I did not ask her to quit. It was a mutual decision."
It helped having interim chancellor Kaya Henderson in the audience for this town hall meeting, who was greeted with warm applause. In some ways both Rhee's resignation and Henderson's appointment as Interim Chancellor (through the school year at least) seemed to defuse some of the disappointment in certain wards of the city where a large majority had voted for Gray's opponent. Or at least it did on this occasion.
Gray talked mostly about education reform and the future, but there were no further questions on the subject from the audience. They had questions and tales about the presence of a noisy pizza parlor in Georgetown, about the makeup and power of the numerous boards and commissions and their memberships, about raising taxes (or not), about Statehood (Gray has this down like a great performer), about homeless shelters, literacy, at-risk and vulnerable residents, especially the elderly, and so on.
In almost all cases, Gray displayed two qualities that will serve him well after he wins the general election on November 2—as he's more than likely to do in spite of a Fenty write-in effort—and is inaugurated in January.
Gray impressed many with a command of the issues, seemingly calling up statistics, examples and understanding of how this city functions and works, not so much as a politician showing off but as a man who seems to have made a study of the subject of bureaucracy and government at work.
Gray also showed a certain benign kind of opportunism, in the sense that he used every question as a way to not only invite, but urge people to take part in the process of government. Asked about how grants are received by aging programs. "This isn't just an issue about which organization gets what grants," he said. "This is about protecting some of our most vulnerable citizens, the elderly and others. You have to want to take part here. You can do that. Work as a volunteer, work with those groups that give seniors an opportunity to come together in groups."
Per talking about the looming budget crisis ($175 or more million deficit coming right up): "We need your input and cooperation in this. We are all in this together. It's not the government's problem, it's not the city council's problem or the mayor's or some agency's, and it's ours. Tough decisions are going to be made; I'm not going to sugarcoat this. Cuts will have to be made. Don't' say, 'cut this one or that one, but not the one that we don't want cut.' It's about all of us. We need your input."
Talking about statehood really jazzed him up. "Yeah, I'm going to be going up to the hill on this and in my capacity as mayor. But on statehood, I don't want to go up there alone. I don't just want to have somebody right behind me, another person on the right and the left. I want hundreds, no, thousand of people behind me, and if we get thrown in jail, so be it." They hooted and hollered and whistled then.
A homeless person asked about the prospect of homes for everyone and then appeared to disapprove of the right to marriage law passed by the district, allowing gay couples to marry. Gray took on both. "Housing for everyone sounds nice," he said. "Who wouldn't want it? But it doesn't work that way. It's impossible to be truthful. Because it's not going to solve the problem of homelessness in this city. Everybody will come here and you increase the problem. As for the other, I fought for the legislation on right to marriage legislation. I believe in it with all my heart."
"I came here and to all the other town hall meetings so that you can get to know me better," he said. "Lots of people know little about me. I think maybe I wouldn't vote for me if I knew as little as all that."
"I want us to work together," he said. "And that's a concrete thing. I want people from all the wards to work together, to get to know each other. We are facing tremendous challenges but also a great future. We did that on the council, and I have to say I think we have and had a tremendously talented council. I have to say, in all honesty, that I'm feeling a little separation anxiety starting to seep in. I've developed friendships in this council. We all have.
"But we have big challenges. Number one is education. Safety. Jobs, The economy, The budget. On top of that we are a deeply divided city—divided by geography, economics, society, and, let's face it: race.
"We can't continue that way. People say you're never going to change that. I've heard that in other meetings. And I say, you can't stop trying."
Gray said that everything is tied together: education, he said, is about adult education, continuing education, special education, early childhood, charter schools. "There's this strange statistic: there are actually more jobs available now but the number of unemployed remains the same. Why? Because the people applying for jobs don't have the tools, the education, the training, and skills for the jobs that are there. We've got to change that."
"I'm going to say one thing about reform," he said. "My commitment to reform is steadfast and won't change. I believe strongly in the position of a strong chancellor, capable of making tough decision. We have that again in Kaya Henderson, and we had it in Michelle Rhee who worked tremendously hard for children which resulted in major improvements."

Another critical vulnerability could let an attacker take control of a computer by tricking the user into viewing a particular image, perhaps through the company's MSN or Windows Messenger or its Windows Media Player. The flaw takes advantage of imaging technology called "PNG Processing."
Can someone shed some light on that one?

Global warming and the mining of oceanic methane hydrate

The impacts of global warming on the environment, economy and society are presently receiving much attention by the international community. However, the extent to which anthropogenic factors are the main cause of global warming is still being debated. There are obviously large stakes associated with the validity of any theory since that will indicate what actions need to be taken to protect the human race's only home—Earth. Most studies of global warming have investigated the rates and quantities of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial revolution. In this paper, we focus on the earth's carbon budget and the associated energy transfer between various components of the climate system. This research invokes some new concepts: (i) certain biochemical processes which strongly interact with geophysical processes in climate system; (ii) a hypothesis that internal processes in the oceans rather than in the atmosphere are at the center of global warming; (iii) chemical energy stored in biochemical processes can significantly affect ocean dynamics and therefore the climate system. Based on those concepts, we propose a new hypothesis for global warming. We also propose a revolutionary strategy to deal with global climate change and provide domestic energy security at the same time. Recent ocean exploration indicates that huge deposits of oceanic methane hydrate deposits exist on the seafloor on continental margins. Methane hydrate transforms into water and methane gas when it dissociates. So, this potentially could provide the United States with energy security if the technology for mining in the 200-mile EEZ is developed and is economically viable. Furthermore, methane hydrate is a relatively environmentally benign, clean fuel. Such technology would help industry reduce carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere, and thus reduce global warming by harnessing the energy from the deep sea.

Winter's TaleClose
For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Winter's Tale, based on Mark Helprin's 1983 novel of the same name, deals with heavy themes of love and death, and good vs. evil, and so is best for teens and older who can handle these issues. Expect a few scenes of brutal violence (stabbings and up-close shootings) and some heavy kissing and implied nudity (a woman's naked back and silhouette is seen from afar). Swearing ("goddamn" and "s--t") is used sparingly.
- Sexual Content
- A couple is shown kissing and rolling around in bed, their naked backs visible. A man looks longingly at a naked woman from afar. We see her silhouette.
- Violence
- Brutal, bloody, one-on-one brawls, where men use fists, draw knives, and shoot at each other with guns. A man stabs another for not having the right answer, using his blood to draw a picture on the table. Two men are shot point blank.
- Language
- Some swearing, including "Goddamn," "son-of-a-bitch," and "s--t."
- Social Behavior
- Good triumphs over evil, especially when you have love on your side.
- Consumerism
- Signage for Dunkin' Donuts is visible.
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- Characters drink at a saloon. A man offers his guest a glass of claret.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it
