Ravenshoe, the highest town in Queensland at 920 metres, is a lush region of mountain pastures and un-spoiled World Heritage rainforest.
Situated five kilometres from Ravenshoe you will find windmills that are 45 metres freestanding and twenty of them together is a spectacular sight to behold and feed enough power to into the national grid to power 3,500 homes. In 1987 when World Heritage listing of the Wet Tropics occurred Ravenshoe was a timber town producing beautiful furniture timbers as well as veneers. Today, the town still has two timber mills operating using both plantation pine and hardwoods.
From Ravenshoe, Tully Falls Road leads south and becomes an unsealed road 28 kilometres out. A one kilometre drive takes you to the Tully Gorge (275 metres) lookout where the Tully Falls can be seen after heavy rain. Returning to Ravenshoe, visit Little Millstream Falls 1.25 kilometres along Wooroora road. From the Kennedy Highway head west for 3 kilometres to the turn off to the spectacular Millstream Falls, the widest waterfalls in Australia.
Access to the viewing area is via a 1 kilometre gravelled drive with caravan turning space, and a short walking track. Continue on to Innot Hot Springs for a dip in the warm mineral waters.

Tests and reviews of different batteries to help you find the Right One…
The 1.5V AA Verbatim Premium Alkaline batteries are the only standard AA size Alkaline batteries offered by Verbatim, even though they are labeled as Premium there is no regular version available. The expiration date on the batteries we've tested was 06-2017 and even though we could not find a shelf live cited, we can safely assume something like 5 years for these batteries.
We have started the test of the 1.5V AA Verbatim Premium Alkaline batteries as we normally do with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.1A and the result we got was 2166 mAh as capacity – a good result for low load applications, though far from the best ones we've seen from AA size. Increasing the load ot 0.2A we still get a decent performance, but going higher than that at 0.5A and 1.0A we can see that these batteries are not performing that well, meaning they are not the wisest choice for high load applications.
The performance of the 1.5V AA Verbatim Premium Alkaline batteries in our tests:
– 2166 mAh at 0.1A load
– 1527 mAh at 0.2A load
– 613 mAh at 0.5A load
– 306 mAh at 1.0A load
– 2.626 Wh at 0.1A load
– 1.797 Wh at 0.2A load
– 0.674 Wh at 0.5A load
– 0.329 Wh at 1.0A load

text: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 PTs, PTAs, Patients, Supporters Needed to Add Thunder To Therapy Cap Ending the hard cap in Medicare outpatient physical therapy services will take unified voices, personal effort—and more than a little help from technology. APTA is hoping to do just that when it launches a new grassroots campaign that will allow physical therapists (PTs) and others to combine their individual social media reach to create a wave of highly coordinated messaging. APTA has worked with the Therapy Cap Coalition to create an opportunity for PTs, physical therapist assistants (PTAs), patients, and others to participate in a "thunderclap," a service in which participants donate their Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr presences to allow a 1-time coordinated message to be sent to their friends and followers. To participate in the therapy cap thunderclap, supporters simply sign up and choose which social media outlets they would like to temporarily donate. At noon on November 4, thunderclap will automatically send out the same messages through all participants' social media outlets. The thunderclap is free and limited to a single message. Deadline for sign up is November 3. The Therapy Cap Coalition's thunderclap is aimed at drawing national attention to the Medicare therapy cap and preventing a hard cap from being implemented in 2014. The cap puts arbitrary limits on therapy services under Medicare and negatively impacts a PT's ability to provide the highest quality care to often-vulnerable populations. While APTA representatives have been meeting with legislators over the past year, coalition organizers believe that grassroots efforts to stop the cap need to intensify now that Congress has little more than 60 days to address the issue. The coalition must meet its goal number for thunderclap participants to send the message, but participants need not be limited to the affected health care providers. APTA is urging its members to encourage colleagues, patients, family members, and friends to join in the thunderclap to make the reach as broad as possible. More information about thunderclap and APTA's therapy cap efforts can be found at APTA's therapy cap advocacy site, and questions about the program or how to get involved can be sent to APTA's advocacy staff e-mail. Specific information on thunderclaps can be found at Thunderclap's website.

The Modern Girl's Burning Sage
Up until this point I haven't talked much about my fascination with the metaphysical. The older I get the more I believe in the power of that which we can't see, but just KNOW. Call it what you want—God, spirit, energy, intuition, nature—but it's everywhere, and I love exploring these inexplicable forces. It's also incredibly uplifting to know that we are all connected. Whether you're nodding your head in understanding or rolling your eyes in amusement, don't turn your nose up at THIS: Smokeless Smudge Spray ($13.50).
I know you've seen some TV show on which a celebrity hires a hippie/gypsy/healer to clear negative energy and bless their home with burning sage. It looks ridiculous when the Real Housewives do it, but it's actually an ancient Native American ritual. It also leaves the room smelling like an illegal substance. Smokeless smudge spray, however, is sage brush in a bottle. It actually contains three sacred essential oils and essences: sweetgrass to purify; sage to transform negative energy into positive energy and increase mental acuity; and cedar (also used in sweat lodges and saunas) to attract good spirits. You just mist away, filling the air with the most energizing yet deeply soothing scent. It's fresh and herby and smells like positivity. I picked some up at Eye of Horus in Minneapolis after meeting with MY PSYCHIC (see? this deserves it's own post.), and am going to spritz my new Seattle stu-stu-studio. It's also going to be awesome to get me in the right mindset to meditate, and to clear my sinuses. Here's to positivity and fresh starts! And you can even order it online!

Education Reform Leaves Florida Governor Stuck Between a Rock and Republicans
Opposing certain bills will land Gov. Rick Scott in the doghouse with Republicans and put him at odds with former Gov. Jeb Bush, whose nonprofit foundation has driven Florida's education agenda for more than a decade.
By Kathleen McGrory
Gov. Rick Scott is in a tight spot with teachers.
To score points with rank-and-file educators, Scott has made $2,500 pay raises for classroom teachers a top budget priority. But to stay in their good graces -- and possibly win their votes in 2014 -- Scott will need to bat down a number of education proposals moving through the Florida Legislature, including the hot-button "parent trigger" bill and a pitch to increase facilities funding for charter schools.
There's just one problem. Opposing those bills will land Scott in the doghouse with Republicans and put him at odds with former Gov. Jeb Bush, whose nonprofit foundation has driven Florida's education agenda for more than a decade.
What's a governor with sagging poll numbers to do?
"He can't do everything the teachers' union wants or he would lose support among Republicans," said Brian Peterson, a Florida International University professor and editor of The Miami Education Review, an online newsletter. "But he is going to have to take a more moderate stance on education issues."
In recent weeks, Scott has initiated a dialogue with the statewide teachers' union, the Florida Education Association. Insiders say members of the governor's staff attend regular meetings at union's Tallahassee headquarters -- a noteworthy fact, considering the lack of a relationship until this point.
The raises are also significant, not only because of the $480 million price tag, but because Scott has proposed distributing an equal amount to each classroom teacher in Florida. Republican lawmakers have said they would rather see the raises distributed based on merit, but teachers are fiercely opposed to the idea.
Some observers see Scott's proposal to award across-the-board raises as a blatant overture to the teachers' union. The governor has historically been a strong advocate of performance pay. In fact, the first bill he signed into law laid the groundwork for the expansive merit-pay system for teachers set to kick in next year.
Scott faces an uphill battle in getting the Legislature to approve the across-the-board increase.
Last week, Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Destin, told reporters his "preference would be that there'd be some recognition and reward for teachers who stay late on tough challenges and get learning gains, as opposed to treating the best teacher in Florida the same as you would treat the worst teacher in Florida."
Still, teachers such as Jodie Martin say they appreciate the sentiment, especially when coupled with Scott's promise to increase spending on classroom supplies and professional development.
"I've been a teacher for nine years and I've never really had a raise," said Martin, a fifth-grade teacher at Medart Elementary School in Wakulla County. "Any increase would help."
Will more money be enough to win over Florida's 170,000 schoolteachers?
Jeff Wright, the Florida Education Association's director of public policy advocacy, says no -- especially during a legislative session that could see the expansion of charter and virtual schools.
One proposal is the so-called parent trigger. It is especially loathed by the union because it would enable charter-school companies to take over failing public schools.
"You can't just buy teachers with $2,500," Wright said. "Our members are going to look to see where the governor stands on charter schools, on the trigger, on merit pay. Then, we'll decide whether to support him."
Some observers believe signing those bills would undo any political capital amassed by spending $480 million on teacher salaries.
"He's going to have to be very careful about what he opposes at the end of session," said Wayne Blanton, executive director of the Florida School Boards Association. "He knows he can't keep kicking public education around and have a positive public opinion."
But Bush and the powerful school-choice lobby will put pressure on Scott, too. Already, Republican leaders have signaled that expanding choice will be a top priority. House Speaker Will Weatherford, for example, designed an education subcommittee to focus specifically on "choice and innovation."
What's more, supporting charter and virtual schools could win over some teachers.
"Ultimately, what is going to cause teachers to move closer to the governor is his doing things that allow them to more be innovative and creative," said Doug Tuthill, president of Step Up for Students, a nonprofit organization that supports the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program. "Charter schools, virtual schools and magnet schools give teachers that flexibility."
Scott isn't tipping his hand.
Asked where he stood on various education policies, Scott replied: "My focus this session is $2,500 pay raises for classroom teachers, increasing the funding for the debit card for teachers to buy supplies, the money for professional training, and the $1.2 billion overall [increase] for K-12 education."
Pushed specifically on the parent trigger, Scott would not say whether he might veto the bill.
Rep. Erik Fresen, R-Miami, who sits on several House education committees, said he does not expect the governor to take a strong stand on education policy.
"That will be left up to the Legislature," Fresen said.
The governor's most important bargaining chip may be delaying the merit-pay system. Teachers want the launch postponed. And some key Republican lawmakers, including Gaetz, have already said they could support a slowdown because deploying the new system entails deploying a new curriculum and student assessments.
Martin, the Wakulla County teacher, said she would be paying close attention.
"He's really reaching out to educators and moving education in the right direction," she said, noting that she could support Scott in a potential bid for reelection.
But Roxanna Elden, a creative-writing teacher at Hialeah High School, said she is skeptical.
"It's going to take a lot more for [Scott] to convince teachers that he cares about education," she said.

Monday during the 5 p.m. newscast, Denver ABC affiliate KMGH-Channel 7 committed what news director Jeff Harris called "an embarrassing mistake" and one that's too risque to repeat in a family newspaper.
The station showed a digitally redesigned graphic of the cover of the Petraeus biography, "All In." The title was, um, rewritten.
An editor grabbed the wrong image online, Harris said. The fake image was not created locally. The reaction from viewers was minimal ("my wife called me"), but took off in the blogosphere. Harris declined to discuss whether disciplinary actions had been or might be taken, except to say, "when we make mistakes we take them seriously."

| 8.5°C Belfast
Boris Johnson has said the UK will have to leave the European Union unless it reforms - because other countries have failed to follow the rules.
The London Mayor said the system was "morally bankrupt" because countries including France and Germany refused to open their doors to foreign workers and companies in the way Britain had.
He said it was "tripe" to suggest the UK was the "problem child" of Europe, arguing that the Government was in a fantastic position to demand reform because it had played fairly.
Ahead of German chancellor Angela Merkel's visit, he said "we need her on our side" in efforts to reform the 28-member union.
In what could be seen as a jibe at David Cameron, Mr Johnson said: "The German leader is a remarkable politician - she is proof that centre-right parties can win absolute majorities, and arguably the most powerful voice in Europe."
In his Daily Telegraph column the mayor wrote: "I f we are going to get anywhere in our plans to reform the EU, in advance of a referendum, then we need her on our side.
"So she is, in many ways, or should be - given Germany's interest in free markets and sound budgets. But we will get absolutely nowhere in these talks if we persist in the view - peddled by the EU commission, and picked up by certain UK newspapers and broadcasters - that Britain is somehow the problem child of the European family.
"I don't want to hear anyone bleating on about how we are always the 'awkward squad' or the 'back marker' or a 'bad European'. Any such assertion is demonstrable tripe. We are in a fantastic moral position to call for a better EU, to insist on a better EU, and indeed to bang our shoe on the table until they all shut up and listen - because we are the Good European."
Mr Johnson, who has just returned from a skiing holiday in the French Alps, said it was a scandal that it was "virtually impossible" for Britons to work as instructors there.
"Can you think of any sector of UK business or industry that imposes such restrictions? Come to that, is there any equivalent over here of the 'guilds system' they have in Germany, which means they are able to restrict the number of Polish plumbers?"
He said French and Dutch bus firms ran services in London, but he could not see the same thing happening on the streets of Paris.
Mr Johnson said: "It is therefore as the best and most committed Europeans that we can now demand reform: axe the crazed CAP (common agricultural policy), scrap the appalling social chapter, get rid of the EU Court's jurisdiction on borders, police, home affairs and human rights - and above all tell the EU commission to wake up and do what it is damn well supposed to do: make it easier for people to live, work and enjoy themselves in other EU countries.
"What kind of a system is it that allows French buses on the streets of London, but forbids English ski instructors on the slopes of the French Alps? I will tell you: a system that is morally bankrupt.
"We want reform; and if we don't get it, and we have to leave - well, it won't be because we couldn't obey the club rules. On the contrary - we complied, and they didn't."
Mr Cameron's official spokesman said that the Prime Minister will use talks over lunch at Downing Street on Friday to raise with Mrs Merkel issues like welfare tourism, economic competitiveness and deregulation, which he said were a matter of concern not only in the UK but in several other EU member states, including Germany.
The PM's spokesman said: "The Prime Minister obviously has a good, strong relationship with Chancellor Merkel. They meet very regularly.
"They will discuss a range of issues. EU reform of course will be one of them, and a very important one. They will also discuss issues such as the situation in Ukraine.
"When it comes to the European Union and EU reform, I think it is about a shared discussion around the importance of EU reform.
"If you look at the debate in a good number of European capitals, including Berlin, there is a good deal of debate and discussion about how we make the European Union more competitive and more flexible economically, and we work very closely - and will continue to - with the German Government around that economic agenda, for example around better regulation and the deepening of the single market.
"There are other areas of reform as well, such as in the area of labour markets and the interaction between labour markets and welfare systems where there is also a view in a good many capitals that this is an important issue that needs to be looked at.
"The Prime Minister has set out his approach and he will be discussing that with Chancellor Merkel, as he has been with a number of other EU leaders in recent times and will continue to do so, as part of the ongoing discussions about how we reform the EU."

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Mediterraneancoin (MED) is a derivative version of Bitcoin/Litecoin using a new proof-of-work algorithm called HybridScryptHash256. HybridScryptHash256 integrates the best of Hash256 and Scrypt algorithms (respectively the core Proof of Work algorithms of Bitcoins and Litecoins), allowing the reuse of the less powerful ASICMiner Block Erupter devices. The idea is to allow all the users of USB Block Erupter, Bitmain AntMiner U1 and similar small ASIC devices to mine an altcoin without having "whales" coming and disrupt mining. With HybridScryptHash256, each Hash256 mining iteration with an erupter is encapsulated between two Scrypt stages (a memory intensive algorithm whose parameters depend on the current difficulty). In this way, a good amount of CPU power (or maybe even GPU power) is necessary for each Hash256 dedicated hardware. If a miner owns a lot of Hash256 computing power, in order to mine Mediterraneancoins, he will need also a corresponding CPU power. If the correspondent CPU power is not available, then the Hash256 computing power is automatically limited. And since the proof-of-work algorithm is completely different from Hash256 and Scrypt algorithms, in order to mine, you need a modified miner.

Bookies set odds on Apple NYC launch
Wagers of sin
With so many flooding the interweb on a daily basis, it can be rather difficult to assess the legitimacy of Apple rumours. But you can always trust a bookie, right?
Paddy Power has started taking wagers on what the subject of Apple's upcoming announcement in New York will be. With fingers pointing towards an 'education event' next week, the gambling firm clearly reckons Apple will announce a new digital textbook in a bid to corner the $8bn educational market.
Odds for such are 1/6, a figure far ahead of other potential announcements. The reveal of an iPad Lite sits at 6/1, the iPad 3 at 9/1 and a new iMac desktop at 14/1.
If you fancy a punt on some less likely announcements, try the Apple television set at 16/1, the iPhone 5 at 20/1 and the news of a robotic teacher at 40/1.
These all appear somewhat premature, but it is Apple we're talking about here and the Cupertino giant is no stranger to jumping the gun.
Still, it certainly seems e-textbooks are on the cards and with such a disparity between the odds, I'd be cautious about betting against it.
In other Apple-related gambling news, Paddy Power is taking bets on how many iPads the company will release in 2012 as well. Get odds of 16/1 if you think it won't launch a new model at all, 10/11 for one and 4/5 for two.
We're pretty sure Apple will throw out at least one refreshed iPad in 2012, though, so with odds like that, there seems little incentive to throw any dough at it. ®

Under Linux password related utilities and config file(s) comes from shadow password suite. The /etc/login.defs file defines the site-specific configuration for this suite. This file is a readable text file, each line of the file describing one configuration parameter. The lines consist of a configuration name and value, separated by whitespace.
You need to set default password expiry using /etc/login.defs file (password aging controls parameters):
- PASS_MAX_DAYS : Maximum number of days a password may be used. If the password is older than this, a password change will be forced.
- PASS_MIN_DAYS : Minimum number of days allowed between password changes. Any password changes attempted sooner than this will be rejected
- PASS_WARN_AGE : Number of days warning given before a password expires. A zero means warning is given only upon the day of expiration, a negative value means no warning is given. If not specified, no warning will be provided.
Open file /etc/login.defs using text editor:
# vi /etc/login.defs
Setup (sample) values as follows:
Close and save the file.
See also:
- Understanding /etc/shadow file
- Read man page of login.defs for more information.
Please note that much of the functionality that used to be provided by the shadow password suite is now handled by PAM suite. Next time I will write about PAM configuration.

- I will be livestreaming all* 17 rounds of the 2018 MXS EU Supercross PRO Championship that will be hosted by EMF.
- Everything will be streamed at MY CHANNEL where you will also find the replays afterwards.
- Streams will be commentated by me and I will always try to get someone with me to co-commentate if possible.
- I will be downloading and using as many skins as possible so make sure you post your team/privateer skins in the skins thread.
- Interactive live chat on stream.
To make the stream as entertaining as possible I have some ideas that YOU the community can help me with.
In order to make race downtime not as boring I will try some new things.
- Scrolling screenshots between races! You can PM me screenshots if you want them to show up on stream. Make sure to tag your screenshots if you want people to know it was yours.
- Edit showcase each round! When there is a couple of minutes downtime I will have a edit showcase. Will do a shout out to the creator and then show the edit in its entirety. Will most likely have time for 1-3 of these each round. You can PM me a download link if you want your edit to show up on stream. (quality 720p, 30fps)
Additional info:
- Please use the "save for web" feature in photoshop when saving your skins to keep file size down. This not only helps everyone who wants to see your skins, but also the streamer to not time out during loading. This will be especially bad when erode is a factor as I need to load in asap to get the correct erode to show up on stream.
- I will NOT download any 4k skin packs for ^^ reason.
- I will NOT download any unnecessarily large skins packs (ex - privateer pack that's 400mb. Yes, it happens)
*This stream is NOT the official EMF stream. If the EMF crew hires a official streamer to stream these races I will, out of respect for the EMF crew, NOT be streaming as well. If the EMF crew hires a streamer for single events, I will NOT be streaming that event but continue to stream the rest of the series.

Missouri lawmakers hold medical marijuana hearing
Senate considers bill that would legalize pot for patients with debilitating condition
Heidi Rayl's 4-year-old son has multiple seizures a day, and Rayl on Tuesday took her fight to state lawmakers in the hope of winning access to a currently banned treatment: medical marijuana.
Rayl drove to the Capitol from her home in Versailles to tell a Missouri Senate panel how legalizing medical marijuana could help treat her son's seizures, saying other treatment options haven't worked.
The Senate committee is considering legislation to legalize marijuana use by patients diagnosed by a physician with a debilitating medical condition. Rayl said Zayden, 4, has a condition that causes serve epilepsy and that he frequently stop breathing during seizures.
"I can't fix his boo-boo, but I will never stop trying," she said.
Rayl said Zayden's seizures could be controlled from using oil extracted from marijuana plants, saying it also would be a cheaper treatment than his current medicine. She added that medical marijuana would save Missouri money because Zayden's costly treatments are paid through the Medicaid program.
The Senate General Laws Committee did not vote on the medical marijuana proposal and offered no timetable for future action. The bill contains a referendum clause that would place the legislation on the November ballot, instead of heading to the governor's desk.
If approved by voters, the legislation would levy an 8 percent tax on such marijuana's purchase price.
The bill would also regulate who, where and how medical marijuana could be dispensed and used. Medical marijuana centers would need to be licensed with the Department of Health and Senior Services. Under the bill, the drug could only be transported in the trunk of a car and couldn't be used near schools or some other public places.
The Missouri Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons testified in opposition to the measure, citing concerns that medical marijuana has not gone through enough clinical trials to give physicians guidance on how to properly use it.
Some committee members also raised questions about the effects of secondhand smoke and the potential for abuse. But one of those speaking in support of the legislation said that shouldn't preclude lawmakers from moving forward.
"You are going to have people imagining back pain to get marijuana," said Nikki Furrer, whose brother Joey also has frequent seizures. "But my brother shouldn't pay the price for their misuse."
With less than seven weeks to go in the annual legislative session it is unlikely the bill could pass through both chambers in time for Missouri to join 20 other states in allowing medical marijuana.
But the bill's sponsor said Missouri should learn from the examples of other states to try to remove a stigma surrounding marijuana.
"People are seeing that society hasn't fallen apart because folks are allowed to use medicine in the privacy of their home," said Sen. Jason Holsman, D-Kansas City.

Hops and Pie expansion debuts soon with a bounty of Dogfish Head
Anyone who's ducked into the cozy Highlands/Berkeley eatery Hops and Pie for a slice and some brew knows two things.
No. 1: Expect quality food and a lengthy, thoughtful beer list.
No. 2: Expect to wait a while for a table if you're a group that's dropping in during peak hours.
Owners Drew and Leah Watson say one of those two realities will be changing very soon, and it's not the quality consumables.
The neighborhood favorite expects to more than double its floor space and seating capacity to 80 as the Watsons unveil their expansion into the long-empty gallery space next door. The grand opening date is still to be determined and based on the eatery's final inspection, but Drew Watson hopes to christen the new wing in as little as two weeks.

Google has put the brakes on its global roll-out of Android 4.0 for the Samsung Nexus S handset.
The Nexus S was the first device to be chosen for the Ice Cream Sandwich update following the Samsung Galaxy Nexus launch earlier this month.
Some users of the Nexus S (which debuted Android Gingerbread) had already received the update, whereas others have been sent notifications telling them, wrongly, that the upgrade was ready.
Monitor feedback
Google has explained that it is pausing the roll-out while they look at the feedback from existing users.
Posting on the Android support forums, Google community manager Paul Wilcox says: "If you received an update notification a little while ago but the update isn't currently available for your phone, this is likely the result of Google pausing the update in your area while we monitor feedback.
"The Android 4.0 update is continuing to roll out around the world so your phone will receive another update notification when it's available again in your region."

Voodoo's Omen gaming desktop is the best-looking one around. But we (and gamers) care about inner beauty too, and the insides shot by Pocket Lint look like the Matrix's people farm with all of the magenta tubes and cables flying around—a far cry from its clean, steely exterior, though about as neat as one can expect of such an intricate cooling system. It's definitely designed around heat dissipation, though I'm not totally sold on the whole rotated motherboard.
Also, it doesn't look like you have a whole lot of maneuverability inside the case, at least from the pics—granted, if you're spending that kind of coin on a build-to-order PC, I don't know how much tooling around inside you'd be doing anyway. [Pocket Link]

From the free-spirited sister with dreadlocks playing her guitar in sunny California, to the curly blonde haired girl in Florida, African American women are known for their plethora of diverse hairstyles. However, most women can agree that the key to having good hair is healthy hair. No matter how many times a woman changes her hairstyle; one thing that should remain constant is the hair product that goes into her hair.
Hair is such a significant role in expressing who women are along with the style itself as an accessory that compliments a woman's particular look. Hair can signify many things such as youth, status, vitality, health and strength. For generations, women have been taught to take pride in their crowning glory. Century's later; women have taken their identity back and left behind the oppression that came with conforming to society who defines beauty with good hair. Women have taken matters into their own hands by defining their own definition of good hair and proving to the world that beauty in hair comes in a bountiful variety.
Avlon's Humecto crème conditioner is deep penetrating and improves health and appearance of hair tremendously. Ingredients include water, lime and corn flower just to name a few. As for a daily moisturizer, KeraCare's hair oil includes jojoba oil, which improves hair growth, stops breakage and retains antioxidants in your hair for longer periods of time. KeraCare may be sold at your local beauty supply store, but you can purchase it online at the Avlon website and learn more about the products and their varieties.

African American Hair Braiding Styles Are Quite Attractive To The Young Generation-Why
Do you really know how to take care of black children's hair? Of course you know because it is just similar to taking care of you own hair. Black hair is a result of the proper caring of it. You simply have to do extra effort to maintain the loveliness of it.
You should shampoo the black hair with the specific shampoo that will suit your children's flowing hair. As they will grow older, you can use conditioners that will help keep their hair moist and will act as a hydrating agent. Conditioners should not be done everyday because this will then cause falling of hair.
Conditioners you will buy should contain the natural oils so that the black hair of your children will nourish further and will not get so dry. You should comb your children's hair lightly and gently starting at the base of the hair. Avoid using fine tooth combs but instead use combs that have wide tooth.
Put your hand above the spot you are combing so that the children would not experience pain. Do not super tight the braids and or pigtails because this can damage the hair and can cause breakage. Another tip on how to take care of black children's hair is by limiting the use of beads since this can cause trauma because some of the beads are heavy so one should use appropriate accessories at the right time to avoid any problem. When the hair is kinky then it is better to use a good detangling spray. So these are some of the tips on how to take care of a black children's hair.

MARYSVILLE — Local dealers are proceeding with cautious optimism to the overwhelming public response to the government's Cash for Clunkers program.
The program, which provides consumers with a $3,500 or $4,500 voucher to trade in their gas guzzler for a more fuel-efficient car, was projected to have used up the $1 billion initially set aside by July 30, just eight days after most dealers began accepting trade-ins. But the U.S. House of Representatives voted to extend the program another $2 billion on July 31, leaving the Car Allowance Rebate System in the hands of the Senate.
Although the program's future is uncertain, Roy Robinson Chevrolet planned to continue taking trade-ins over the weekend.
"Plans for the weekend are to move forward," said sales manager Gordy Bjorg Jr. "We're waiting to hear whether they'll fund with more money."
Ford announced that their nationwide sales increased 2.3 percent for July, the first increase in over a year. Locally, Cash for Clunkers has been great for sales of cars, new and used, said Marysville Ford sales manager Andre Frazier. The dealership has already sold about 20 to 25 vehicles through the rebate program and is trying to find ways to offer similar discounts to customers coming in the door.
In the meantime, Frazier said, "What I'm doing is taking a look at the vehicles, and some of these vehicles are worth what the rebate is."
In those cases, he said, Marysville Ford is finding other ways to discount new cars up to the value of the rebate to keep customers happy.
Recent improvements to vehicles' fuel economy by manufacturers means there are a variety of new qualifying vehicles available at local dealerships.
The Car Allowance Rebate System, also known as Cash for Clunkers, began as a $1 billion government program intended to get cars with poor fuel economy off the roads. Running from July 1 to Nov. 1 or until the funding runs out, consumers may go to participating dealers to trade in their vehicles for a $3,500 or $4,500 credit toward a new car.
Would-be participants must meet several standards to qualify. The trade-in vehicle must be no older than 25 years and have a gas mileage rating of 18 miles per gallon or less. The credit is calculated by the difference in gas mileage between the trade-in car and the new car. On passenger cars, an improvement of four to nine miles per gallon will earn a credit of $3,500. An improvement of 10 miles per gallon or more will earn the consumer a $4,500 credit.
The trade-in vehicle must be in working condition and titled and insured to the consumer for at least one continuous year to be eligible for the program.
Dwayne Lane general manager Brian Frauenholtz said his dealership had been advised by General Motors to honor the program as they expect the additional $2 billion funding to come through.
Like Marysville Ford, Frauenholtz estimated Dwayne Lane has sold about 25 vehicles through Cash for Clunkers. The biggest hurdle to sales, he added, was ensuring that customers' trade-ins qualified.
"We've had some people call or come in and their cars don't qualify. It's kind of a bummer," he said, adding that customers still interested in taking advantage of the program should come in sooner than later. "Well the $1 billion ran out in one week. So it's probably something they should look at fairly quick."

Razorbill, 2011.
It's 1996, and Emma and Josh are your ordinary teenagers. They've lived by each other for years and have practically grown up together. But now they're sophomores in high school and things are a little different. Well, they're WAY different after Josh tried to kissed Emma six months ago - now they hardly speak to each other. It's what Emma's father sent her that will make a huge impact in their lives...
In Emma's room is a bright shiny computer. It probably weighs 25 pounds, but it's all hers. She's heard about people getting emails and sending instant messages, so she's excited about this new prospect of trying it out. Of course, there's always the problem with sharing the phone line, but she and her mother will work it out. Josh is the one who hands her the AOL Online CD with 100 free internet hours, but when Emma finally gets online, she's shocked by what she sees.
A page begins to emerge...something called Facebook, which Emma has no idea what it is. And there on the front page is a woman about 30 years old, who looks kind of like her. She went to the same high school as Emma, has the same birthday...this isn't coincidence. What Emma is looking at is her life fifteen years in the future, and she's not quite sure she likes what she sees. But who can she tell? The only person who comes to mind is Josh.
He also gets a look at who he is and becomes in the future, but unlike Emma, he definitely likes what he sees and who he gets married to. His life is amazing! And what the two quickly realize is that they can send ripples through time from now to Facebook in the future and make changes to their lives and what they see posted on their timeline, in their photos and their comments. But are those changes dangerous? What are the repercussions of the decisions they make, create or change not only to them, but to those around them, including their best friends?
This book is chock full of references from the mid-nineties, but not so much as to bog down the reader that it's "old school." Emma and Josh's relationship not only with each other but with those in their school, stands out the most and creates their unique personalities the reader can't help but want to know more of. Teens today were born around this year, so they may not get the 90's references (Wayne's World, Boyz 2 Men, only one character has a cell phone) but the theme and situation remains a popular one. Asher and Mackler switch voices with the characters they write about, which makes this a book you want to read through to see what happens to the other person....right....NOW! Recommended.

Trafficked by Kim Purcell
2012, Viking.
Elena, or Hannah. It doesn't matter even if she is the same person. All she knows is that she is no longer in Moldova but in America, about to live the American dream.
Elena, or Hannah. It doesn't matter even if she is the same person. All she knows is that she is no longer in Moldova but in America, about to live the American dream.
She saw the poster when she left her hometown…a girl struggling in the fist of a giant hand, the words "You are not a product" written underneath. Her friend Katya warned her about it, but her babulya told her she should go and be free, and Hannah agrees with her. After her parents were killed in a bombing of a small café, she feels more of a nuisance to her family that took her in. Hannah knows things are tight, and finding a job as a nanny in America can only help. That was what she was recruited for from the beginning.
Hannah's excitement of leaving Moldova for America comes to a halt before she even leaves the country. Fake passports, handlers taking her to and from places…she doesn't even want to think about the one in the black car and what he did to her. Now, as Hannah steps off the plane in Los Angeles, she's more nervous than happy, and can only hope she can pass immigration without detection.
When she does, Sergey is waiting for her, ready to take her to her new home. But is home the right term to use for what she has to endure? Her treatment, her lack of wages, her work hours….the Platonovs promise one thing, but do the opposite. Hannah is trapped. She has no friends, no one to talk to, no one who cares about her. There is only one person she has barely spoken to and it's a teenage boy who lives beside them. Hannah is told she can speak to no one or the police will find out and lock her away. Hannah feels her only protection is the prison she's trapped in.
The Platanovs requested her specifically for a reason. Why would they do that and treat her the way they do? What is the reason behind Sergey wanting Hannah? When the truth slowly begins to leak out, Hannah realizes the connections are only too real and it's only a matter of time before the truth could destroy her life and the lives of those back at home. Will she ever see home again?
Kim Purcell writes a realistic fiction book that will take readers into the dark and mortifying process of human trafficking. Her character of Hannah takes the readers through the perspective of the victim and how they become entrapped in a country that celebrates freedom and individual rights. Most people don't think America could be home to such a travesty as human trafficking, but it could be happening in your own neighborhood. This book is as much about the story as it is about bringing to the forefront this epidemic of baselessness. Purcell derives the theme and plot of this book through personal experience and her author's notes are a must read. Highly recommended.

My first blog interview! Doing a happy dance (in my chair)
Texas Sweethearts and Scoundrels are a group of amazing people who live in Austin and love books, libraries, students, authors....you name it! Every month they post a blog interview, and I (with the recommendation of amazing blogger Pamela Thompson!) am this month's sweetheart....or scoundrel? Anyway, I thought I'd share this link to my interview :)
Article 5 by Kristen Simmons
Ember lives in a new United States. The War ended three years ago, and the government changed. The strongest arm of the government is the Military Militia. Their role? Enforce compliance of the Moral Statutes. Rumors of mass executions, people disappearing for no reason, prison, deportation….they're everywhere. Ember thought they were all rumors until it happened to her.
There are only five articles in the Moral Statutes that citizens need to abide by, but the laws change with the wind. Ember and her mother live a decent life. Their only act of defiance is hiding magazines and books from the old days; days Ember vaguely recalls. She has friends, but the person she misses the most is Chase. They grew up together since childhood but their friendship turned deeper. There was no denying Chase and Ember, as teenagers, were meant to be together. Now, Chase is gone, and Ember misses him. She remembers those tender moments and always hopes the best for him, wondering if he still feels the same toward her that she does toward him, wherever he may be.
But a knock on her door changes Embers entire life. The MM (Military Militia) has come to take away Ember's mother for breaching Article 5, which meant full prosecution by the government. What was the crime? Ember doesn't have a father and Article 5 stipulates that she is to be "rehabilitated." What is worse, is that Chase, the love of her life, is arresting her mother. Nothing Ember does changes Chase – not the past, not their moments together, not their friendship. He is part of the military machine, devoid of all emotions.
With her mother gone, Ember finds herself in rehab, the worst possible place to be. Torture, brain-washing, and hard manual labor are a common part of her day. Escape? Punishable by death. But it won't stop Ember. She must get back with her mother. But can she? And who will be there to help?
Dystopia fans rejoice! Here is another book to devour through when you've read all the other ones. Simmons' book paints the future into a very realistic and bleak novel. Although the main characters stand out, it's the role of government Simmons creates as a monster character, along with the men in the Militia and how they've evolved. The evolution of Chase's and Ember's relationship takes center stage, but it's also the minor characters and what has happened to them because of the breakdown of our future country and government that conveys the essence of this novel. Recommended.

Sharing links to create book trailers and online projects
I guess it's been about a year and a half (maybe more) since I created the livebinders for book trailer resources. But one thing I have found out, especially with students, is that they tend to open up the link directly within the livebinder, which gives them an incorrect URL when crediting images. So, they have to open livebinders, open another tab, copy and paste, then go back and forth...BORING!
And so I created a Symbaloo that has most of the link I created with livebinders, but it set up so much more elegantly because of its simplicity. So, if you'd like to share this with others, please do. Also know that this is not only for book trailers in the library world, but also online projects for ANY class a student may take that asks them for virtual projects. The perma link is:

Kg2087 brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 126 Designs von 20 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Conscious Beauty
Conscious Beauty is a green business that offers comprehensive products and services that embrace the inner being while enhancing the outer beauty of the individuals we serve. We provide high quality eco-safe makeup and hairstyling services (including haircuts; hair color; bridal makeup; technique education); eco-safe retail products, as well as positive self image coaching sessions that utilize the transformational energy tool, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)- the "tapping technique". Founder Kathleena Gorga leads workshops and delivers keynote speeches at beauty-related and green conferences.
Primarily but not exclusively women, from teens through seniors. "Anybody who wants to feel better about themselves inside and out." People with an interest in inner transformation; who care about the environment; who want to live in harmony and balance with themselves and the earth; who struggle with self-esteem because of their appearance.
The old logo is a fairly geometric design based on a stylized rendering of the letters "C" and "B". The new direction of the business needs something more fluid, something that suggests growth, life, spirit--and to work well in the horizontal layout of a website header or business card.
Plant and nature imagery encouraged, but the best approach may be abstract. Elegance and simplicity required: design must immediately convey beauty, heart, and spirit.
Logo should work in black and white as well as in color. Color preferences: avoid strong reds except for accent color. We have gold, green, white, and blue in mind, but go where inspiration guides you.
If you use text in the logo, fonts we can use elsewhere in our marketing materials are preferable to hand-drawn letters.
Final output needs to be vector format.

Fatal I-4 shooting case of mistaken ID
Florida deputies say arrest made in Tamap-area shooting
ORLANDO, Fla. – An arrest was made Monday in the shooting death of an Orlando man on Interstate 4 near Tampa in what turned out to be a case of mistaken identity, deputies said.
Investigators arrested 48-year-old Jerome Edward Hayes, of St. Cloud, who turned himself in voluntarily earlier in the day.
During a news conference Monday afternoon, Col. Donna Lusczynski clarified that the incident did not stem from road rage, but rather a case of mistaken identity and "being in the wrong place at the wrong time."
On Saturday, 47-year-old Fred William Turner Jr. called 911 to report someone was following him in the area of 50th and Columbus.
Lusczynski said the shooter had just left a strip club after getting into a fight with someone inside. Turner had just left the neighboring adult theater. Hayes and a friend of his thought Turner was the man they had been fighting with.
While on the phone with dispatchers, Turner said he was getting on the interstate heading toward Orlando, the car following him pulled up beside him and someone inside displayed what appeared to be a semi-automatic weapon. Turner also told police he had done nothing to cause someone to follow him.
The dispatcher then heard multiple gunshots, and, according to witnesses, Turner immediately pulled over to the side of the road. Deputies found him dead in his car, with no suspect in sight.
Neighbors of Hayes and his girlfriend in St. Cloud say the man they knew wouldn't have fired a gun like this.
"They're very nice. I'm shocked," said neighbor Ray Phillips. "We've had good dealings with them. We never heard them argue. They were always pleasant."
Hayes faces first-degree murder charges and is being held in the Hillsborough County jail.

In the spirit of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition going on sale this month, Nissan released a series of four ads that were created to answer the age-old question: what's better, the Nissan Juke or a tall blond bombshell in high heels?
The Juke marketing campaign pits Amber and the car against each other in the categories of acceleration, agility, appeal and aerodynamics. Neither really wins in the end, but we get to see Amber in four bikinis, plus a few slow-motion shots that really test your pacemaker. I think the biggest achievement is not Nissan's newest crossover, but Amber running the sprint and slalom course in a pair of high heels without breaking an ankle.
Watch the videos below and you be the judge.
Model vs. Model "Acceleration"
Model vs. Model "Aerodynamics"

What struck me about this book is the powerful theme it contains. Romy, the main character, faces the most intense hardships of high school - bullying, isolation, and being taken advantage of against her will. These take Romy to the brink of a breakdown but her strength, family and the few she can trust help her not only deal with what she went through, but also makes her realize her own self-worth.
When I can read in a book in one setting, I know it's a book that should be on this list. Emerson knows she has less than 48 hours to live - not due to illness, but to a meteor bearing down on the U.S. This novel shows how not only what happens to her, but others who decide to live the rest of their lives by fulfilling lifelong dreams, falling in love, and granting forgiveness. What grabbed me are the different threads of lives Schroeder writes about that begin to interweave in unusual ways leading to a beautiful ending.
This is one of those books that people either loved or not and that's why it made my list. Brooks' novel evokes powerful emotions from readers and what ultimately happens to the group of people who are victims of circumstance in this superbly suspenseful book. Another reason why I put this book on the list is that the ending is so climactic and unexpected, most of the teens I know who've read it can't wrap their minds around the ending of it all.
Fantasy fiction has become (or still is) a popular genre, and while so many I've read recently take place in another time and world, this book doesn't. Rowell writes an urban fantasy with quirky characters and villains in today's world where wizards co-exists with Normals. VERY reminiscent of the Harry Potter series, Rowell brings back the magical fun the characters and the school creates that makes it such a refreshing read. It's all about relationships first, conflict second and the ability to combine lighthearted reading with some dark places the readers get to explore.
Brown brings back into the spotlight the horrors, mistakes and redemptive circumstances that created the disaster of New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina. This book tells the story not only through words but the powerful images depicted on the pages, allowing those to not only read it, but truly look at what happened and allow it to resonate in them. This is one of the best graphic novels I've read not only because it brings an important event up in teens lives, but also because although it's a quick read, it stays there long after the last page is turned.
There are a few titles from O'Reilly's Killing series that have been adapted for young adults, and when there is, they become an important part of a YA collection because of the hidden history behind the event and person. This is about Hitler, but also about World War II and how his decisions led to the ultimate downfall of one of the most evil people in history. O'Reilly writes without any political motive, which makes this a book for all readers. You may not like the author, but try not to transfer bias to a great YA non-fiction book.
Follow five teens as they enter high school and begin their four year tour. Any teen will be able to find a character to identify with, whether it be the most popular girl in school or the geekiest kid to enter high school. Not only do you get to see how they change physically (case in point: freshmen year class picture to senior year) but also the relationships and conflicts that begin to create the person they are. Its' definitely a St. Elmo's Fire meets The Breakfast Club kind of book you'll fall into.
It's not the flashy Marvel or DC graphic novel, but it's definitely a contender in attracting readers' attention through the clever use of dialogue and character. Stevenson creates a meld of genres in this book. She mixes a little fantasy with a bit of science fiction and adds a touch of historical fiction to create a fabulous graphic novel about friendships and enemies that holds a deeper meaning in what it means to be a true confidante and mentor. I chuckled all the way through this book through Stevenson's dry and witty humor between the characters, especially Nimona and her unique talents.
There have been books that have made me shed a tear or two because of it's emotional impact, but this one jerked them right out of me because of its plot of love and loss. Blending difficult days spent behind bars with a love story with the beauty of adoption and foster care, Schmidt creates a character that has the weight of the world on his shoulders as well as the promise of new beginnings. This isn't a book with lots of pages (in fact, it won't take hardly any time to read) but it makes up for it through the large emotional reach it'll have once the last page is turned.
This short story collection has the best YA authors that have written stories that are truly from the dark side. This is horror at its best because it comes in small or large doses, depending on how much the reader can handle. This isn't for those who get nightmares from reading YA horror and supernatural, but will definitely delight those who enjoy walking on the side tainted by dark evil and revenge.
And one to grow on....
This is a slice of science fiction that takes place completely in outer space. There aren't a hundred characters, planets and ships to keep track of. One plot, one (or two) huge conflicts, and two main characters makes this book readable and enjoyable for those who can't manage to keep track of too much. The authors write the story through transcripts, text messages, secret documents and file and this is what makes it a standout. While reading this, I saw it as a movie in my mind...excellent sign of a great YA read!!
Now, bring on 2016!!!

Mozilla introduces Firefox OS phones
San Francisco, Jan 23 : Browser maker Mozilla Tuesday introduced two phones powered by its open source Firefox OS platform with focus on low-end markets.
In partnership with a Spanish start-up named GeeksPhone and Spanish telecommunications provider Telefonica, Mozilla unveiled two 3G phones, Keon and Peak, for its mobile system, reported Xinhua.
Rather than catering for mainstream customers, the two phones are for developers preview, enabling them to develop apps and improve the operating system.
"This week we are announcing our new Firefox OS developer preview phones because we believe that developers will help bring the power of the web to mobile," Mozilla said in its official blog.
The "Keon" model features a small 3.5-inch screen, 1 GHz processor and 4GB storage, making it barely comparable to a cheap Android phone in the US market.
Rather than taking on major market players like iPhone, Mozilla plans to focus initially on developing markets where customers started to upgrade to smartphones from feature phones. The company plans to debut its Firefox OS-powered phone in Brazil later this year.
At the Mobile World Congress in Spain last year, Telefonica, with half of its customers in Latin America, said it hoped to bring smartphones to the masses in developing countries with Mozilla's browser-based operating system with a price "ten times cheaper than iPhone".
With the first official version not yet available, Firefox OS is a browser-based open source operating system for smartphones and tablet computers.
Launching the development project in July 2011, Mozilla touted the system as more accessible and completely open, compared to "walled gardens" of Apple iOS and Google Android.
Mozilla, headquartered in Mountain View in the US state of California, is a global, non-profit organization dedicated to creating open source products like the Firefox browser.(IANS)

Derek Dooley—already pretty much done at Tennessee—is now officially done at Tennessee. Here's Volquest:
Tennessee entered its game against Vanderbilt still mathematically alive for a bowl berth and trailed only 13-10 at the half. But the homestanding Commodores outscored their guests 28-8 across the final 30 minutes, ensuring the Vols of their third-straight losing season, fourth in five years and fifth since 2005. It is the first time since the late-1970s that Tennessee will not advance to postseason play in consecutive years, and the loss to Vanderbilt was the program's worst in that one-sided rivalry in more than 50 years. The Vols' eight-game SEC losing streak is also their longest since being a charter member of football's most storied conference.
If only they'd beaten Vanderbilt! There's a list of possible replacement candidates over here. Jon Gruden watched a UT game on a plane once (he took notes!) so he's the leader in the clubhouse. Try to remember the good times, everyone.

Ken & Cook
- 50% off
- Only on the App
- Nolita
- American (New), Seafood
Don't let all the glitz distract you. The menu here is serious, and the dinner hour is packed with well-dressed diners.Sometimes it's fun to go out and be seen, which is easy to do at Ken & Cook, as the front of the restaurant consists of giant, floor-to-ceiling windows opening up onto Kenmare for semi-alfresco dining. But at this hip industrial brasserie run by Jean Georges alumnus Artan Gjoni and chef Richard Diamonte, it can also be a place to see, as many a big name celeb (Hi Emma Watson/Salman Rushdie!) have been known to pop into the 65-seat establishment for a nosh.
But don't let all the glitz distract you. The menu here is serious. The dinner hour is packed with well-dressed diners feasting on appetizers of Oysters Rockefeller and beef tartar and main courses of monkfish with romesco, fennel and thyme or Wagyu Flank with pesto, asparagus, and almond. But for a calmer scene (the DJ booth is typically empty), hit up their Lunch and Late Lunch menu for the delicious likes of a steak baguette with pesto and arugula, smoked salmon with roasted tomato, fraiche, and toast, or a Wagyu burger. Or if you're feeling exotic on your lunch break order from their raw bar of oysters, clams, shrimp, or 1/2 lobster. Mr. Rushdie would approve.
Menu Highlights:
Grilled Squid, $12
Wagyu Burger, $15
Smoked Salmon, $13
11:30pm - 4pm, Mon-Sat

The Big Hug™ - Deep Pressure Positioning Aid
Do you know someone that could use a BIG HUG?
This exceptional Functional Form Therapeutic Aid was ergonomically designed to calm, reorganize and redirect the energy of children and adults living with autism or who are cognitively disabled and would benefit from deep pressure therapy.
The Big Hug has been found to be effective because it allows the caregiver to simultaneously apply different amounts of soft, wrap-around pressure to five separate areas of the body. The caregiver or user is then able to release the Big Hug's wraps after the desired amount of individualized sensory needs are obtained.
Look at what these two teachers had to say about the BIG HUG being used in their classroom:
" Although we have several students using this tool, the Big Hug has had a significant impact on behavior and learning for one student in particular, who is on the autism spectrum. He has gone from having several meltdowns daily to being able to stay within the general education setting and participate in learning, provided he gets his regularly scheduled "Big Hug Breaks". I asked him why he thought it has made such a difference for him, and his answer was "It relaxes me. When my body is relaxed, my mind can work." This has become such an essential tool for him and made such a positive impact with our staff that we recently purchase an additional Big Hug for another elementary school. Thank you for this terrific tool!"
- Tiffany Syverson, Occupational Therapist
"The Big Hug has become an essential piece of equipment in my classroom. As a teacher of moderate/severe special needs children with sensory disorders, it has been a positive aspect to developing the emotional safety of my students. I have two autistic students whom use the Big Hug on a daily basis. One child has a voice output device called a DynaVox, on which I have programmed a green caterpillar (the Big Hug). When he becomes agitated he gets his device and finds the page with the picture and pushes "I need the Big Hug." After "resting" for thirty minutes he is much more calm and ready to continue on with his day."
- Mary Kay Van Deraa, Teacher
The Big Hug is not only for use in classrooms! Both children and adults are using the Big Hug in their home as well.
When we emailed a customer who recently purchased the Big Hug to ask how it was working for their son, they replied back "I showed our son your email and he responded by clapping. Then he gave a "thumbs up"!"
To get a better idea of how beneficial the Big Hug is, please take a moment to view our Big Hug informational videos.The Big Hug Product Videos - Click to view!
