Hot Tools Tourmaline Tools 1875W Tourmaline Ionic Professional Dryer
StephOhioHairDark BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairWhy Did I Wait So Long?I finally decided to replace my old heavy Belson Gold 'N Hot blow dryer that has been my faithful companion for at least 15 years. I love love love my new blow dryer! Have no idea why I waited so long. Very light and dries my hair fast. Hair feels so soft afterwards. I have long fairly thick hair and so far the attachments are staying on. I typically divide my hair into sections while drying my hair anyway, so that probably helps keep added stress off the comb attachment. My only complaint is that I don't particularly like the location of the cool shot button. I keep hitting it accidentally. Will eventually get used to it.posted Mar 24, 2011Link to this post
Eudice G.IllinoisHairWhiteNormal HairOily HairDry HairThick or Coarse HairFor Great HairI bought this dryer to replace one that was getting to hot for my head. It was Tourmaline and Ionic and dried my hair fast and left it shiny, but the heat was too much.
I wanted another Tourmaline ionic dryer. This one seemed to fit the bill with the 3 heat settings, cool blast and 3 speeds. It is perfect. The average temp is just right for my hair and head. I am not cooking myself. My hair comes out shiney and it dries fast.
One reveiwer complained about the buttons. I am 67 years old, with arthrites and I have no trouble setting the buttons to the speed or heat I want and I don't find my hands moving them from 1 setting to another while I am blowing dry my hair.. They are just fine.
ANother plus is that it came with 3 attachments. A concentrator, diffuser and pick.
I would recommend this dryer to everyone. It is great.posted Aug 29, 2010Link to this post -
LisaLansdale PaLove This DryerI had a rusk speed freak, and it was the best hair dryer. It dried my hair so fast, faster then any other dryer, but it was very heavy. I was looking for a good hair dryer, lighter in weight, so I went with this one after researching online. This hair dryer is GREAT. I like that is has different heat setting and different speeds and it is so lightweight. My hair is wavy and gets frizzy when I dry it, this dryer cut down on the frizz and dried my hair fast. I have 2 daughters that both have long wavy hair, and they used it, and it cut there time in half straightening there hair because it came out so straight with this dryer and shiny. They both love it. I usually go with a ceramic hair dryer, but this dryer was just as good, it also prevented static.posted Dec 29, 2009Link to this post
Erica MurrayMiami, FL & San Francisco, CASuper Shiny Hair In Seconds!I have boughten appliances here and LOVE them but from the Solia line, and I actually bought this dryer from the store at an even way lower price. I wasnt sure if I wanted to return it but used it this morning and immediately I noticed that my wavy, frizzy hair was sleek, shiny, and healthier. Time for me has always been an important thing since I"m always on the go so this dryer definitely helped cut the time in half and I love the end results. So far so good! I especially love the light weight factor, it makes it easier when I travel and doesnt make my bag heavier!posted Nov 19, 2008Link to this post
MichelleLong Island, NYComb Attachment Comes OffGood dryer. Cuts drying time on half. Comb attachment comes off so easily. Its very annoying. They need to fix this problem then it would be the perfect dryer.posted Sep 3, 2008Link to this post
AnonymousAlexandria, VAGreat While It Lasts, But ...At the recommendation of my stylist, I finally broke down and purchased an ionic hair dryer for my shoulder-length, very thick, wavy hair. I broke my wrist badly in the past, so I was very conscious about buying one that was "lite" so that I could maneuver it better. My drying time was cut substantially with this and it is definitely lighter than the traditional dryers of this size. However, I did not notice any difference in "shine" or "sleekness," it just simply was easier and quicker than most comparable dryers. But heres my biggest concern: I had this product less than a year when it completely died one day. And I only use it about once a week, at most. So I can honestly say .. this is the most expensive dryer Ive ever purchased, but with the shortest product life! I am not a regular reviewer, but I do read and value consumer product reviews and so felt the need to post this warning because it was such a very poor experience.posted Aug 28, 2008Link to this post
RleonardWash DCLove This Dryer!After reading most of the dryer reviews, I decided on this dryer. I received it last night and couldnt wait to test it out this morning. I have shoulder-length, fine, semi-curly/frizzy hair. It used to take me about 15-20 minutes to dry my hair with my previous Conair dryer and it would almost never come out completely smooth and the ends would typically be kinky unless I spent a LOT of time on them. This morning, drying my hair took 10 minutes max and my hair has stayed smooth through a typical swampy (hot & humid) Wash DC summer day. I used the highest heat setting for most of the drying and then switched down to the medium heat setting for the final styling, which was more than enough for my fine hair. I used the concentrator, but not the hair pick tool. I will probably buy one for my sister!posted Jul 30, 2008Link to this post

SydneeBaltimoreAlmost Perfectits a really good dryer, but not that good for natural black hair. the comb attachment comes off really easily and its really annoying, and the thicker your hair is, the easier it comes off. its also a little awkward at first when you use it on your own hair because its very long. other than that, it works very well, it dries and straightens my hair in a very short time.posted May 30, 2008Link to this post
CybercatTourmaline Hot Tools DryerI bought a T3 Featherweight and HATED it...airflow was horrible and was too hot. Couldnt understand all the hype about it. So I bought this Hot Tools instead. Its a far superior product, has better airflow and my hair comes out really good. Its got 3 heat and 3 speed settings as opposed to just low and hot (which is very hot) on the T3. One of the bullets on the box of the Hot Tools dryer is that it is very quiet; I would not call it very quiet, but its quieter than most. Why anyone would want to spend $200 on a T3 is totally beyond me when there are more economically priced dryers like this one that do a far better job.posted May 5, 2008Link to this post

Particles have proven to show very peculiar behavior. What this diagram depicts is the path of a proton by the dashed line. The ` marks are photon particles (particles believed to make up light).
Now, from the bottom, a particle wanders into the system, along with a photon. The photon splits into 2 other particles, one of them anti-matter and the other matter (anti-matter splits to the right). I should note that the size of these photons are incredibly small in size, and split into 2 much larger particles (oddly enough).
The anti-particle and the particle converge to form a photon just like the one that entered, and the excess particle wanders off the northwest part of the diagram.
It seems very strange, this behavior, and if you try to make sense of it in this manner, it makes little to no sense. However, think time as the y axis now. Suddenly, what you have is a particle that occasionally emits a photon and rapidly changes direction. It moves up, releases a photon which pushes it down, releases another and pushes it up off the screen.
So it seems that all anti-matter is an object flowing backwards through time, though to us, seems to be flowing the way we interpret time. It makes sense too. It acts exactly like a particle if time flowed backwards. It would be drawn to heavy objects (which for time to flow normally makes it look like it moves away from heavy objects).
Thought I'd share this with you guys. :)
Boggles my mind everytime.
If the world should blow itself up,the last audible voice would be an expert saying it can't be done
There's an easy way out of this. (Thanks to my 12 grade Physist teacher for explain two definitions of "mass" to us.) Why must gravitational mass and inertial mass be the same? What proof is there that inertial mass is the same as gravitational mass (sometimes called weight.)
We observe this to be so, but have never tested this for antimatter. This is what the great neutral cold hydrogen experiment is waiting to show. We can hypothesis a universe where the inertial mass is the same for antimatter and matter but where antimatter attracts antimatter and where matter and antimatter are repellant. That would be like a gravitational mass sign reversal but with the same internal mommentum. That would agree with the time reversal equivalancy.
Time reversal seems broke in universe in special situations. but still holds common sense in average every day life of mundane particles. Maybe it because we are deep in a matter rich enviroment well...but that's a different topic.
Back to the model, imagine space time curvature but where antimatter dimples the surface of space time "up" instead of "down" like punching holes in a sheet of metal from the opposite side. Zero rest(gravitational)mass particle would still follow the curvature of space the same. They still have momentum (inertial mass).
But gross matter and antimatter influcence curve space would interact differently. Also the weight of virtual particles pair in large volumes of space would cancel which is handy.
Causality paradoxi are resolved because matter and antimatter contacts lead to immediate anhilations and release of excessively large amounts of photon energy (therefore uncertainty as predicted in some reverse time travel calculations.) Photons travel at the speed of light and don't experience time in the same way as matter or antimatter. You can't go back in time but an antimatter messenger might. What stops one from killing ones grandfather is the same force that keep one from crossing the double yellow line in the middle of the road. Common sense. No U turns permitted. And don't fall a sleep at the wheel...time marches on or back as the case may be.

I don't see why everyone seems to think matter should have some sort of counterpart. There is no opposite of existance other than to not exist whatsoever. If I studied my physics correctly, anti-matter is quite simply atoms which spin in the opposite direction.
The only reason why there aren't any is that of course upon contact, both are instantly destroyed equally and completely. It seems improbable that such contact could be kept for very long, much less since the big bang which formed the universe. Therefore, you could say that the 'matter' won the battle, at least for the section of the galaxy we are in. Had there been more anti-matter than matter, there would have been the same super-nova explosions which would have ultimately led to a anti-matter dominant galaxy. There's no reason to believe that anti-matter behaves any differently than matter as the direction of the spin of an atom does not change the strength of any of its forces.
Therefore, a planet of anti-matter would weigh the same as a planet of matter composed of the same material (of atoms spinning in the opposite direction). This means both would have gravity and follow the laws of the universe in the same way.
As for time travel, the idea is correct in thinking that escaping gravity is a bit like going backwards in time. However, one must remember that for as much 'forward' one is in time under the effect of high gravity (such as a planet), you could never reach the same 'forward' in time if you left the planet. It is analogous to saying that if you were on the peak of a mountain and you walked westward a bit that you'd still beat the same altitude as you were before. Clearly, you'd also be walking down as well as away from the peak, and likewise, you could never escape the gravity of a planet to go backwards in time. For that matter, any messages sent away from a planet would move forward in time once they are received by those on a planet, so likely it would seem very much like nothing strange had happened at all.
If gravity IS time travel, then perhaps there would be something to trying to receiving gravity and then losing it suddenly. For lack of a better analogy, rather than walk up a mountain slowly, you're strapped to a rocket on gigantic rubber wheels flying at 500 kilometers per hour. The difference is, of course, that once you pass the highest point, you'd likely be airborne rather than walking back down. Not many can say they've had gravity given and taken at such a fast rate, but astronauts have, and several tests involving synchronized watches has proven that at least some time travel occurs involved in space travel.
I think magnetism is a form of gravity, and the effects of time travel effect equally metallic objects. I'd be willing to bet that strong magnetic effects turned on and off could generate the same effect. So any time machine would likely have a fairly potent source of energy and some metal cords wrapped carefully around it to provide powerful magnetic forces.
Rumor was that the US government were doing similar experiments headed by John von Neumann to create an invisible battleship. An entire battleship was covered with metal bands and given a strong magnetic force. The results of the tests were not made public, but the rumors were that the ship simply disappeared entirely. After an approximate year, the ship was found intact and with many incredibly strange anomalies, among which were sailors melded with the metallic battleship walls and limbs found unattached to bodies. Sailors who were still whole were turned insane talking about how the walls became ethereal and passable.
You probably laughed at the metaphor of scaling a mountain being jet-propelled, but it seems that's what happened to the ship and all the inhabitants within.

The existance of antimatter was first seen in a theory coming out of the math solution that predicted such particles ever before antimatter was observed. (A better name has been proposed that antimatter be called mirror matter.) And if your clock spun backward, wouldn't time seem to reverse itself? That is back in the days when we had analog timepieces. Does each piece of matter carry it's own timepiece or does time exist in empty space? Relatively so altered the concept of time to make this question sensible. What is spinning or what spin is is also a puzzle once you take quantum effects into account.
It was Einstein in his general theory who uses the hypothesis that accelleration and gravity the same. This lead to some unusual "relavistic" conclusions about time contraction. Also to limits of speed of travel by mass.
Also the congecture that antimatter is like matter running backwards in time comes out of relativity. Feynman transformation diagrams the somehow could be interpreted as either matter antimater anhilation, or by a high energy photon knocking a electron backward in time before releasing a high energy photon, depending on your perspcective.
Physist are innate taoists and like seening symmetry. Where symmetry is lacking they look for a cause that breaks it. That includes the arrow of time.
You paint a nice picture, and as much as I'd like to think that everything in this universe has an equal opposite, it simply isn't so. There are countless cases of forces and behavior that is simply *not* matched by an opposite force and/or behavior.
To name a few:
Weak atomic forces
Strong atomic forces
They're forces which have no opposite and equal force that we know of. It doesn't mean they must exist in some other part of the universe. Likewise, I think we humans are used to thinking of time like an arrow, flowing in exactly one direction. I could be wrong, but if time is a dimension, it is no more 'straight' than a line can be straight, and a line can be warped within other dimensions to produce very elaborate patterns and even be wrapped upon itself to form a loop. Rather, perhaps we have only seen time as an arrow because on earth, in the presence of gravity, time really does become uniform and straight. In other parts of the galaxy, time could stop, go backwards, loop upon itself, cross paths with itself allowing you to see your own spaceship 10 minutes in the future. In short, it could do a great deal more than go backwards.
If we're willing to accept that time could flow backwards, we have to accept it could do far more than just that, which wouldn't make it opposite anymore than following the curve of a graph in the +x direction would be opposite of following the curve of a graph in the -x direction.

I apologize if I misled you.
By symmetrical, I didn't intend on the directional sense, but rather the radial sense.
Gravity only pulls, it never pushes (to the best of our knowledge). That's asymmetry.
Buoyancy is the result of gravity working more strongly on one weight than another, and that heavier weight being in a higher and less stable condition. The more obvious example is that of a boat staying above the water, not because the boat doesn't weigh, but because the amount of water the boat would displace is heavier. Admittedly, I guess you could say buoyancy is an effect caused by gravity to an extent, but like gravity, there's no opposite effect. Nobody's ever heard of anti-buoyancy, the force in which boats sink because they're lighter than water.

As for the train going faster than the speed of light. According the Einstein, this is not allowed by the parameters of our universe.
E = mc^2
What i think Einstein was saying was that if you took some object (for this case, a train) and made it approach the speed of light the object's molecular structure could not withstand the forces of that speed, ergo, it becomes pure energy as it approaches the speed of light.
As for the cloud of matter/ antimatter, not sure about that. It's said that when matter and antimatter are exposed to one another, there is a reaction with an energy discharge.
As for the time travel part, you would more likely need to "cut" a hole in the space time continuum with some Exotic Matter, to create a Blackhole and a White hole. the two holes would theoretically connect to form an Einstein-Rosen bridge. Then you could send a ship through the blackhole and it would come out the white hole.
The only problem (besides all the technical and physical problems) is controlling the whole thing.
With your theory, somehow if the train was kept intact, and somehow the matter/antimatter reaction caused a wormhole to be created, yeah, i think it's a possibility.
anyway, interesting approach.
To each his own...
@Will 30
Ouch, there are several things wrong with your postulate Im afraid:
-1-you cannot accelerate an object with mass past, or even to the speed of light (at least not using a reaction-based system). This is because as an object approaches the speed of light its mass begins to warp space-time. This causes two major effects:
- Time for the object slows down.
- The energy requirements to accelerate the object further become asymptotic: you need infinite energy to reach c.
-2- you cannot have a cloud of matter *and* antimatter, they annihilate on contact, producing energy as per E=mc^2.
-2a- If you ran into a cloud of matter at relativistic (near c) velocity, the particles of the cloud would tear through your train destroying it, but probably creating some neat exotic particles in the process though.
-2b-If the cloud was antimatter, it would annihilate an amount of the train equal to the clouds mass. The energy released by this explosion would vaporize the rest of the train, the tunnel, and everything else within quite a few square miles depending on the mass of the cloud.
So, no time travel there.
@The Blue Ghost
I dont think you can use exotic matter to cut a hole in space-time isnt exotic matter like normal matter but with strange properties? (Spin charge& so forth)
White holes have not been proven to exist, but if they do, they either must connect to a black hole, meaning that both are ends of one way wormholes, or do not connect to anything, as in the view that black holes are collapsed mass.
However, if you want to travel back in time, you need to do this;
a) Find a wormhole to the past.
This isnt as difficult as it seems because the universe is may be chocked full of tiny wormholes on around the plank length.
b) Enlarge it.
A wormhole is no use if you cant even fit a particle through it! Fortunately you should be able to make it grow by adding energy to it. What sort of energy is required here is unknown because wormholes have not been observed and studied as of yet.
c) Stabilize it.
For this you will need a lot of negative energy; about a Jupiters mass worth. Yes, to take a ship through, that much. Fortunately this could be produced by a vacuum-energy pump, otherwise known as a zero-point module. This device produces negative energy by extracting it from between plates so close together that they interfere with spontaneous pair production.
I welcome questions.

LAWRENCEVILLE The Rider women can still look at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference standings and find themselves in the middle of the pack. Theyll just be disappointed they didnt take advantage of the opportunity in front of them Saturday afternoon.
We were not a good basketball team today, said coach Lynn Milligan after her Broncs had their three-game winning streak halted in a 64-59 setback against Niagara at Alumni Gymnasium.
Its a little bit disappointing from the situation, we gave ourselves an opportunity to do something today, and we didnt take advantage of it.
Instead of moving within 1 1/2 games of second-place Fairfield, Rider (10-11, 5-5) slipped into sixth place, just one game ahead of Loyola and Siena.
The Broncs are hoping to stay out of the play-in round at the conference tournament in Springfield, Mass.
Truth is, the Rider players have never been in this situation before.
Its February and were in the mix, Milligan said. Every game is vital and we have to understand that. Its a situation that none of these kids have ever been in before. I have to do a better job of making sure they understand the opportunity in front of them and making sure they are ready.
Offensively, the Broncs didnt have it at all. They shot 31.7 percent from the floor and leading scorer MyNeshia McKenzie despite grabbing 14 rebounds was shut out.
Sironda Chambers led Rider with 13 points but it came on 5 of 17 shooting. Carleigh Brown and Mikal Johnson both finished with 12.
We werent getting into flow, Chambers said. It wasnt there today. We have to find a way to bounce back.
Starting center Caitlin Bopp tried to play through the stomach illness that kept her out of the win over Manhattan, but only managed two points in 10 first-half minutes.
Milligan said there was no correlation between Bopps absence and McKenzies poor game.
MyNeshia didnt play well today, Milligan said. She knows that. She just didnt have it today for whatever reason. That wont happen again.
The Purple Eagles (10-11, 5-5), who swept the season series, took advantage without Bopp to plug the middle. Forward Lauren Gatto scored a game-high 22 points and Kayla Stroman consistently drove to the basket for 14 points.
Meghan McGuinness finished with nine points, including Niagaras final eight six coming at the foul line as it closed out a six-point lead over the remaining 2:43
The Purple Eagles also outrebounded Rider 45-41, including 18 on the offensive glass.
They out-hustled us on the boards, Milligan said. We got pushed under the rim a couple too many times and we got out-hustled on a couple loose balls.
Chambers knocked down a shot with 7:49 to go, giving the Broncs a 46-45 lead, but Gatto scored the next four points and Niagara never trailed again.
We just didnt come to play, said Johnson, whose 12 points came on 4 of 6 from beyond the arc. We didnt have the desire to win today. Its not going to happen again. Next game, well come out harder than ever.
Niagara 64, Rider 59

San Diego History Center (SDHC) will host its annual "Makers of San Diego History" gala on Saturday, June 9, at the Town and Country Resort, paying tribute to the achievements of the tuna fishing industry and the contributions made to our community by the tuna fishing families.
From the beginning of the 20th century until the early 1970s, San Diego was the "tuna capital of the world." In 1940, 95 percent of the tuna consumed in the United States was packed in San Diego, making this industry one of the economic pillars of the city and one that supported Japanese, Portuguese, Italian, and Hispanic families living in San Diego Bay communities like Point Loma, Little Italy, and Logan Heights (Barrio Logan).
"Among those being recognized in this special community tribute are the American Tunaboat Association as well as Bumble Bee Foods and Chicken of the Sea — both of which are still headquartered in San Diego — and StarKist," notes acting executive director Charlotte Cagan.
The event will feature a panel discussion emceed by local television personality Dennis Morgigno discussing the rise, fall, and future of San Diego's tuna industry with luminaries like: Clipper Oil CEO, Kenny Alameda; American Tunaboat Association CEO, Brian Hallman; CEO of Bumble Bee Foods, Chris Lischewski; and President of Zolezzi Enterprises, Julius Zolezzi.
The event is open to the public and tiered ticketing is available with seats starting at $75. Sponsorships to honor a fishing family, tuna boat, or its crew are also available.
The event will be an informal affair with hosted bar and internationally themed food stations representing the nationalities that embodied San Diego's tuna fishing industry.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the History Center's educational programs, exhibitions, and public outreach efforts. Reservations and tickets are available by calling Jessica Schmidt LaFave. (619/232-6203, ext. 102, www.sandiegohistory.org/makersofhistory)

The Mandarin Oriental was founded in 1876 on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. The hotel is regarded as one of the world's most luxurious hotels and has accommodated royalty, dignitaries and distinguished travelers for more than a century. The Mandarin offers lavish rooms and suites, exquisite restaurants and bars, and one of the most beautiful spas in the world. It is rich in history and is filled with the stories of celebrated guests who have made this hotel an essential stop on their world travels. Enjoy genuine teak and traditional Thai silks in the elegant rooms with clear views of the River and take advantage of a personal butler that is available at all times to cater to your every need.
A visit to the Royal Grand Palace - the nation's landmark and most praised royal monument in Thailand, with the enclosed and dazzling Wat Phra Keo with its revered Emerald Buddha, the Golden Chedi, the Pantheon of the Chakri Kings and the Eight Coloured Towers is a must. It is considered by many to be a living example of classical Siamese Court, being the former residence of the kings of Thailand. Wat Pho is also regarded as the first centre of public education and is sometimes called 'Thailand's first university'. Mural paintings, inscriptions, and statues found in the temple served to educate people on varied subjects such as literature, warfare, archaeology, astronomy, geology, meditation and is considered to be the home of Thai traditional massage.

Post-Election, Republicans Consider Rebranding Message, Demographics
The Republican Party may be up for rebranding to reach the demographics that helped President Barack Obama get re-elected.
By Melissa Daniels | PA Independent
HARRISBURG — There was a particular moment this election season when Clarke Cooper says he began to see the tide turn in the Republican Party.
It was at the outset of the 2012 election cycle, when the National Republican Congressional Committee announced the first 10 candidates it would champion.
"There were racial minorities, there were more women, a gay guy, and some religious minorities, all in that first tranche that was pushed out by the party," Cooper said. "That was a smart thing to do."
But it was only a start.
Cooper is the executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Log Cabin Republicans, a national grassroots group for gay and lesbian Republicans.
After the GOP's Election Day defeats, Cooper and many others are calling for the Grand Old Party to update its messaging, open up the tent and break down stereotypes.
Winning future elections may depend on it.
In this year's presidential race, President Barack Obama won 93 percent of the black vote, 71 percent of the Hispanic vote and 60 percent of those between the ages of 18 and 29, according to National Election Pool exit polls conducted for major news outlets. The president also received 76 percent of the vote from gay, lesbian and bisexual voters, compare with 22 percent who voted for Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
Romney took 59 percent of the white voting bloc.
Cooper said these figures as indicators for change. The messages aren't getting through to all populations.
"I'm one of a chorus of Republicans that have said, 'Anything positive regarding economic freedom or reduction of the deficit or eliminate the scope of government was drowned out by things that were directly or perceived as being anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-immigration,'" Cooper said.
William Frey, a demographer with the Brookings Institution research organization, who previously researched Pennsylvania's political geography, said that if Republicans had done more to sway young and minority voters, they could've closed the gap — if not taken the race.
In Pennsylvania, for example, Romney did very well with older, white voters, Frey said. But even in a state where around 83 percent of residents identify as white, that wasn't enough for him to win the state's 20 electoral votes.
The Hispanic population is one demographic frequently cited as a community where Republicans could find new supporters. In 2004, Hispanics made up about 8 percent of all voters. That figure is 10 percent today.
But Republicans aren't seeing increasing support from this growing community, where policies and messages from Democrats appear to be winning out. In 2004, 44 percent of Hispanics voted for President George W. Bush, compared with 27 percent who voted for Romney.
Relying on older, white voters does secure the Republican Party's central base, Frey said. But that won't always be the case.
"Ten years from now, if they're still relying on older whites, they'll be blown out of the water," Frey said. "They won't be close at all."
In Pennsylvania, the case is still developing. Frey, an Allentown native, said the state's largest growth occurs on the eastern part of the state, from Philadelphia through Lehigh Valley and up to the New York state border.
"That's the part of the state that's growing most rapidly and that's becoming more racially and ethnically diverse," he said.
The question turns to what Republicans need to do to attract those voters.
For Justin Murff, it's all about the messaging.
Murff is the national political director for the Republican National Hispanic Assembly, an arm of the party dedicated to getting Republican ideas out to Hispanic communities. He, himself, is not Hispanic. But as a former campaign strategist in Texas, he plainly asserts the GOP, on the whole, does a "very poor job" of reaching out to the Hispanic community.
Murff said that in Texas, grassroots door-to-door politicking helped turn blue precincts red in statehouse districts.
He said it's frustrating to see an entire population not acknowledged, and this, Murff said, is the wrong approach.
"Hispanics are Americans," he said. "They have a role in the political process, and they have a role in the Republican Party."
Longtime political consultant and commentator in Pennsylvania Charlie Gerow, CEO of consulting group Quantum Communications, said the party does not have to change its principles on limited government and individual liberty to appeal to new voters.
A self-described "old-style conservative" who has served as a delegate at the Republican National Convention, Gerow said winning the majority may require welcoming more ideas into the fold and accommodating people who don't agree on every issue.
It's not about getting 100 percent of voters to agree, he said. It's about getting that 51 percent.
"We can be a very, very happy and comfortable minority, or we can be a somewhat uncomfortable, at times, tense majority, and you get to take your pick," he said.
This change can start through candidate selection, said Cooper from the Log Cabin Republicans. And it's already happening.
A Massachusetts candidate for U.S. House of Representatives, Richard Tisei is gay and pro-choice and served in the state Legislature during Romney's tenure as governor.
Tisei was one of those first 10 candidates NRCC backed. He gained support from House Republican leaders, including a check from the PAC connected to Wisconsin U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan.
Though Log Cabin Republicans have long been running for local offices, this was new ground.
"What was a new threshold for us, and still noteworthy, is to have the party get behind and really support a candidate not only spiritually but with actual resources," Cooper said.
Only two openly gay Republican candidates have served in the House, Steve Gunderson from Wisconsin and Jim Kolbe of Arizona.
This time around, Tisei lost the election to incumbent U.S. Rep. John Tierney, D-District 6.
But his candidacy was indicative of what may come, Cooper said.
He said he believes more nontraditional candidates will run on Republican tickets in mid-term elections — with the support of the party.
"A conservative … was able to say to the party leadership, 'Look, I'll vote to support the repeal of Obamacare, I don't believe in state-mandated insurance purchasing. However, I, as a gay man, I'm going to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act,'" Cooper said.
More of this, Cooper said, will translate into a bigger base.
But even if such candidates win support within their party, a different color elephant lurks in the party's corner: The party's reputation among the voters.
Researchers at University of Southern California and the University of Virginia examined the link between moral stereotypes and both major political parties earlier this year.
Stereotypes of "typical" conservatives and liberals are based on moral differences between the parties. But the study, conducted through a survey of more than 2,000 voters, found that the stereotypes are more polarized than the actual differences, causing the illusion of a larger divide than may exist.
From the study:
"The ideological 'culture war' in the U.S. is, in part, an honest disagreement about ends (moral values that each side wants to advance), as well as an honest disagreement about means (laws and policies) to advance those ends. But our findings suggest that there is an additional process at work: partisans on each side exaggerate the degree to which the other side pursues moral ends that are different from their own."
As the study points out, opposite parties are sometimes painted as "downright evil" by those on the other side. Examples can be found on any given day on television or social media, though voters may be more deluged during election season.
Consequentially, these stereotypes create "less and less possibility for productive compromise," said Jesse Graham, a psychology professor at USC and lead researcher in the study.
Today's social media culture doesn't help the situation, Graham said.
"Part of the problem is that social media allows us to further segregate into our own ideological camp, and to 'turn off' or block those who are posting opinions from the other side," Graham wrote in an email to PA Independent. "This creates an echo chamber effect, where we only get exposed to information that suits our partisan biases — and chief among these would be exaggerated caricatures of people on the other side."
But partisans can shake such stereotypes once they confront them, Graham said.
"Knowing what these stereotypes are (for example, that conservatives don't care at all about suffering or unfairness) can help partisans combat them by showing where they are wrong," Graham wrote.
If admitting the existence of a problem is the first step to solving it, the GOP may be on its way. None, though, said it so plainly as outgoing lawmaker, Virginia U.S. Rep. Tom Davis, during a Republican social gathering last week at the Capitol Hill Club.
"Some of the groups that would have agreed with us on a lot of issues, they don't even look at us. We scare them," Davis was quoted as saying.
But first impressions are tough to shake.
For example, Democrats rallied against Republicans and a labeled "War on Women," with the likes of comments from former Missouri Republican U.S. Rep. Todd Akin on "legitimate rape," giving plenty of ammo for liberals and potentially swaying undecided or independent voters who may have felt Republicans would threaten women's issues.
Anastasia Przybylski is a co-founder of the Kitchen Table Patriots, a Pennsylvania-based grassroots tea party group. She said the GOP didn't fight back against the War on Women rhetoric strong enough, that the messages coming from the left weren't countered effectively.
She said she did not believe a repeal of Roe v. Wade would've happened in a Romney administration. And yet the fear of that happening, bolstered by news headlines and websites, may have swayed women to vote for Obama to protect their rights.
To battle these perceptions, Przybylski said Republican messaging should focus more on the concept of limited government and individual liberties. Under those ideas, discussions about abortion, birth control and other social issues can be turned over to the states.
Limited government messages also avoid targeting a racial or cultural minority by appealing directly to the pocketbook, she said. Przybylski said she believes this message would be more effective in attracting a broader base.
"When you pander to somebody, they know you're pandering," she said. "We need to go back to the core principles of limited government."
Cooper, of the Log Cabin Republicans, knows about breaking down Republican stereotypes — his group is doing it from the inside out.
Cooper said the stereotype of the social conservative "old white man" Republican is damaging to the party's ability to get its messages across to other groups. These perceptions aren't always true — Cooper and his group are living proof you can be gay and Republican despite what social stereotypes suggest about the party.
Republicans, Cooper said, need a national party that reflects the makeup of the nation. This doesn't mean abandoning social conservatives or any other wing of the party.
It means grassroots base-building. And it means walking the walk of individual liberty.
"The answer isn't excising someone from the party, that's what we've been fighting all along," Cooper said. "The answer is going back to the coalition approach that's been successful in the past. It's just getting back to our roots and recognizing you can have within the GOP people who have different perspectives."
He's said he's not the only one in the party who has pointed the following out to fellow Republicans: From a party advocating for individual liberty, it can come off as hypocritical to take votes or positions that are intrusive upon the individual or extend federal overreach in state or local government.
This is where Cooper said he sees embracing core principles as a way to change messaging and open up the party's tent.
"We can remain true to our conservative principles, but we also have to be enlightened to the fact that if we're going to follow those conservative principles, they need to be applicable across the board and not a la carte," Cooper said.
Much like Tisei's candidacy, there are glimmers of this happening. Cooper points out it was a bipartisan vote that repealed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in 2010, allowing openly gay, lesbian or bisexual individuals to serve in the military.
Still, it's not all doom and gloom for the future. Pennsylvania Republicans were particularly successful in locking down 13 of 18 congressional districts. Republicans still control both chambers of the state Legislature, though they lost three statewide row offices.
Valerie Caras, spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Pennsylvania, said the party is still evaluating what it can improve upon from this past election. But it will consider how to communicate its message to new groups.
Even though Pennsylvania has more registered Democrats, Republicans have found success among Pennsylvania voters, Caras said, citing the last midterm and gubernatorial election as an example.
"One thing we have to consider is not necessarily what our message is, because we've found our message is successful," she said. "We just have to look at the way we communicate it."
Alan Novak, former chairman of the Republican Party of Pennsylvania, has spent decades as a campaign strategist, and just as long observing the do's and don'ts of campaigning in Pennsylvania and throughout the country.
While recently redrawn congressional maps played a role, the congressional wins are due to the candidates' knowledge and connection with their districts, Novak said. Other Republicans may want to re-learn this lesson, he said: Connect to the district.
"The results say we need to do a better job," Novak said of reaching Pennsylvania and national Republicans.
Novak points to President Obama's campaign team as a textbook lesson on how to do it right. Democratic grassroots organizations were positioned where needed to connect with all different types of voters.
"As a tactician, I admire that," he said. "Winning elections is what party leaders are supposed to do, and campaigns are supposed to do. And messaging is a part of it, tactics are a part of it and this was a very tactical election. In terms of votes on the board, Democrats did a great job."
Novak said now is the time for party leaders to take a look at their strategy and understand what went wrong.
Victory can mistakenly validate strategy, anyway, he said.
"I can learn a lot more from somebody who didn't vote for me, who didn't support me, than I can from someone who did."

Does it really matter? When you get, ahem...100% voter turnout in most Philly voter districts and then get 100% of the turnout voting for the democrat, how can you compete? When you get 25 votes for Obama from 25 people over the age of 110 in a small NC town of only 2000 people, how can you compete? (Hmm 25 people over the age of 110 in a town of only 2000 people. .I gotta move there...oh and every single one votes for Obama. I gotta move there!). But I digress, what is the point of changing your demographics when the game is already rigged?

Please show us sources for any of your claims. I know you cannot produce any, because they are untrue. There is no significant Democrat voter fraud in this country. There is evidence of major Republican registration and voter fraud though, from Republicans throwing away registrations of Democrat voters to Republican led states rigging the elections for Romney over Santorum, to even more allegations of Karl Rove hackers TRYING to rig Ohio, which when it failed, led to Rove's now famous meltdown on Fox News (by the way, why is a man who donated millions to Republican Super PAC's on a supposedly unbiased news channel giving "insight" and "analysis" of the election results?). Show me your sources and I'll show you mine.

This is a lie at best. These talking points are flooding the media and is propaganda meant to demoralize the conservatives.
Stay the course, dismiss the lies, and remain moral.

Embrace this! It is very logical and is the perfect example of what is going on in this country. The republicans are done. The majority wants more - even though they know you could tax the rich 100% of their earnings and still not have enough money to pay for it all. The only way to pay for it all is to start dropping that percentage of 99% us vs. 1% them to 70% us vs. 30% them.
And many of you who love to side with the democrats because the Right has major issues on some social policies, would be very surprised to find out that a household income of about 70K would probably put you in the top 30% in this country. Would you have voted the same way if the talking points were: "the top 30% needs to pay their fair share!"
"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy."

You win with ideas and the right messenger. Republicans had the right message and time will prove them right on Fiscal conservatism particularly when compared to a failed Presidency, but Romney was beaten by the democrats but pinning him as the Baine Capital candidate of the Rich, and he never shook it. On the Hispanic vote I contend that give them 20 years and they will be the core of the Republican party because as they become successful business owners.
What we really need is Voter ID laws enforced, change the way we vote presently with almost 1/2 of people voting early, not sure we can verify those votes very well. Get rid of electoral college, it is ridiculous the power the urban areas exhibit over rural areas in states like Pa. All votes should count the same.
Lastly Term Limits for every elected official and all politicians should have the same insurance coverage that Obamacare is going to be establishing for the rest of us.
Republicans have many good Govenors ready to run in 2016 and they will focus on ideas not on how they can PANDER to all the different demographics. What is good for America, should be good for all Americans.

Beach Walker Perforated Leather Sandals
sturdy nice looking sandal
This sandal is very well constucted and very stylish. A very good buy for the money.
The only problem I found with this item is they run about one size smaller then normal.
I have 3 other pairs of TB sandals which I wear in a size 9 which I purchased and they had to be returned for a size 10. But no problem, they exchanged them for the correct size with no charge for shipping, and were very helpful.I will continue to purchase their sandals in the future.
April 12, 2013
I ordered the wrong size
The first pair I purchased were a little small. Tommy gratefully exchanged my purchase and sent me the correct size. The return process was 100% hassle free (and costed me $0). The sandals are a very nice product as well.

Great sandals
I received these sandals in black as a gift and I am very happy with them. They are casual and extremely comfortable. I will probably buy them in brown myself. These are my second Tommy Bahama sandals as I have a pair of the beach walker canvas sandals too. The quality is excellent.

Nice Sandals - But Hard on My Feet
Myself and my groomsmen wore these at my wedding. They were the only pair of flip flops I had for the trip. By Day 3 I could barely walk due to the chaffing on the tops & side of my feet.
The sandals are beautiful - but must (?) require sometime for breaking in as the leather tops rub. If buying, I recommend wearing them in advance to soften the leather.
The other Tommy Bahamas products were purchased were great!

Very Happy!
Most of the time I have problems walking long distance with sandals ...Not these ! Great sandals would recommend !
January 12, 2013
Perfect for casual strolling whether in town, at the beach or near the water. Comfortable and sturdy
Bought these for my son who is extremely difficult on shoes. He is very happy with these and is taking them with him to a vacation in the islands. Typical Tommy Bahama, quality and style.
January 3, 2013
Good Quality
Very Comfortable. Thick foam on the bottom will last long. Great grip in slippery situations, expecially on a boat!

I have this Super Pass and given the date this Double Daycare Pass was issued I assume I can use it too if I can stack it with the Super Pass.
EDIT: I also have this second Double Daycare Pass, but if I can't use it with the other one, oh well . 3

Yep we should ban baton pass, and weather too. Oh and Trick Room, I'm tired of having to worry about Trick Room all the time. Just ban the move Trick Room, and prankster, it's broken. Ban all status moves on prankster users, they're too cheap. Oh and ban Probopass to it's so cheap. Just ban everything except Magikarp with splash.Well, actually Blaziken isn't really Uber because some people whined about how they were getting owned by it. I mean, it doesn't stand a chance in the Uber enviroment.

For now, this is a place holder... My local game store is starting an escalation league in February and I think I'm going to be building my ogres for it.
I want my ogres to be special. Regal. Unique. While chatting with a buddy about my first 600 pts, he offered up the idea that Bretonnian ogres would be sweet. I already have The Duke (reposted form my Beastmen blog):
95% done:
The rest of my 600 points is 8 ogres, 2 mournfangs, and 2 sabretusks. My intention is to make my ogres look rather men-at-arms-y and my mournfangs knightly - complete with ragged quilt horse blankets, lances, and flowing pennants. We'll see what I can come up with...
Looking forward to sharing this adventure with all of you!

I love this show, and appreciate the opportunity to view the lifestyles, design, construction, amenities and decor of homes all over the world. Such a great show. | |||
I have enjoyed so many episodes from the mideast and Europe. UAE and Iceland are a few that really stand out. I am really tired of the tropical island episodes. They all seem to address the beach view and not much else. | ||||
I love this show too. I love when they go to the French and Italian countryside. | ||||
I love this show too and watch it whenever I can. My favorite places are Europe and Asia. I think it's wonderful to see all the different types of homes. This show is a winner. | ||||
YES!!! I love HHI also... What a great opportunity to learn about other cultures. I am fascinated by (and a little bit jealous of) the "laid-back" and "minimalist" lifestyles. | ||||
I love this show also, right now I'm watching a family move to Malaysia. Interesting... | ||||
I don't watch HHI regularly, but when I do, I always enjoy the homes and the travelogue. | ||||
is this a new show? or are you talking about house hunters international? luv HHI and all the different countries and sceneries | ||||
This is my favorite show!!! I have learned so much about homes all over the world. I always loved geography as a child, and to see how these people live and work is wonderful. I never miss it. | ||||
I am envious of this, too, and strive towards minimalism in my own life. The show is most interesting when the hunters are non-Americans. | ||||
This happens more often in the USA than you may think... particularly among people who don't get HGTV | ||||
Both hubby and I love watching House Hunters International. It's really escapism at it's best. I don't like it when there's a twentysomething couple with a million dollars to spend. I like it when it's more realistic. And it's fun to see the scenery in other countries. | ||||
