I have used this off and on for over 20 years. It leaves hair clean without any resiidue and is not harsh. When I first started using it I could find in in most beauty supply stores. Over the years stores closed and it became difficult to find. So glad I found this website! Now if I could only get the finishing rinse I'd be a happy camper. (Posted on 9/7/2015)

Saturday was the last day of shooting for the dear and departed Farooq Sheikh's last film 'Youngistan'.
In Indore where the film was wrapped up on December 28, producer Vashu Bhagnani ordered 5 kilos of jalebi for the entire unit from Farooq Sheikh's favourite mithai shop in Indore.
Says Vashu emotionally, "In October, Farooq Saab had personally got us jalebis from this particular shop and force-fed all of us. I am not a jalebi guy. But I enjoyed Farooq Saab's insistent warmth. On the last day of shooting we celebrated his positive spirit by ordering his favourite jalebis in Indore."
Farooq Saab completed his shooting, including a scene featuring a superstar who is yet to shoot. Apparently Ajay Devgn is to make a guest appearance in a scene with Farooq. The late actor shot the scene without his co-star.
In hindsight, Vashu feels Farooq Saab had premonition of his death. "We were supposed to shoot all of Farooq Saab's scenes in January 2014. But he insisted on pre-poning his schedule. In fact he gave up two others film to accommodate 'Youngistan'. Before leaving for Dubai with his family, he insisted on completing all his work. Dubbing toh karni nahin tthi ..., since the entire film is in sync sound."
Vashu is unwilling to reveal much about the scene that Farooq shot with his ghost-actor. "All I'll say is, Farooq Saab insisted on shooting a scene with a superstar without the superstar's presence. True to his nature he made sure no one was inconvenienced by his sudden departure. I've encountered all kinds of actors in my career as a producer. But I've never met anyone as kind and generous as Farooq Saab."
Vashu feels his son has transformed in the late Farooq Sheikh's company. "Jackky is very lucky to have worked with Farooq Saab. Even Shah Rukh Khan has expressed regret about not having worked with Farooq Saab. Jackky has learnt so much. I think Jackky is now a changed person and actor. He has evolved as a human being and an actor. They did a two-week workshop together. It proved to be a mind-opener for my son. Farooq Saab took Jackky under his wings, showed him how to open up in front of the camera. My son and I owe Farooq Saab a debt."

Looking out over Puget Sound in the morning - what a beautiful view! We really enjoyed this property, and a great night away. The grand entry is quite impressive, as you come in looking at fabulous artwork and classy decor. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and was everything you would expect from a Marriott experience. This is a great location for walking the waterfront, or climbing the stairs next door into the heart of Pike Place Market and downtown. This property is just a bit more expensive than some of the other competing downtown hotels, but you are paying for the waterfront location which, as I said, can't be beat!

almost summer camp
We're not doing our day camp this year, which is both a relief and a disappointment to all concerned. Since we miss a lot about the things we did the last two summers, it was nice to get together last week to reprise the fun with a slightly more manageable crowd.
Well, I say reprise; but with fewer kids—and each of them a year older—we actually blew any of our previous camp adventures out of the water with a cycling trip down the Reformatory Branch Trail to Concord to visit some of the historic sights. I figured it would be a tough ride for the kids (though I knew it was possible, since Harvey rode it a couple weeks ago)—but as it happened they just about rode away from Bridget, Leah, and I! We were plenty hot and winded by the end... though in our defense, we were all carrying the weight of at least one other human. Zion very much enjoyed the ride.
The Old North Bridge is always a nice stop on an outing—there's the history and the water and lots of space to run around.
And room to chill and relax with friends too.
Actually, we didn't plan for the day to be like a summer camp adventure; we barely planned it at all. Nathan was the first one to point out how much it felt like "Camp Archibald", and then we all went with it.
Since the kids rode so well on the way out we took a longer route home, with stops to check out an old cemetery (oldest grave we found, 1726) and Louisa May Alcott's childhood home (where we worked really hard to learn the maypole dance). They weren't unstoppable though—when I offered the choice between yet more distant adventures and a shorter way home, most of them definitively chose the latter. Zion and Eliot's votes to the contrary didn't count. The revised route—for 11 1/2 miles in total—led through some agriculture.
To be as much like camp as possible, we ended our adventure by turning on the sprinkler (also because it was super hot). But there were only two takers among the kids—without twice a week camp they don't get to see each other enough, so they wanted to use all the time they did have at home doing important things like building with legos! The adults went in the sprinkler, though; we can cool down and talk at the same time.
It was fun; we'll have to do it again soon!
PMC successful
We had a great time at the PMC ride this morning: it was a success all around. It was just the first element of a very busy day, so more pictures will have to wait.. but I wanted to thank all of you who contributed to our fund-raising efforts. Our $1000 goal was ambitious (and totally arbitrary), so I was delighted with the $490 we raised. Thanks for chipping in! We (probably) won't be taking up another charity collection until this time next year.
charity ride begging post
We're doing this PMC Kids Ride thing again and we need your support! We had intentions of starting our fund-raising earlier this year than we did last time, but as with so many of our plans these days we never got beyond the thinking stage. But it's not too late—there's still almost a week for you to donate to the cause. Act now and be the *ahem* first one to make a pledge!
We're going to totally rock it, by the way. Harvey has a new bike that fits him; Zion is going to be riding a full half-mile; both Leah and I are volunteering so we'll get shirts too. It'll be awesome, and you totally want to be part of it by donating money. Plus it'll go towards helping to stop cancer or something, which is good too.
Here's that
phone number pledge link again. Don't delay; pledge today!
and the parade
It's been two years since we got to attend a Patriots Day parade, so we were determined to enjoy this one to the fullest—those of us who didn't have more important concerns to take care of, at least. In Leah and Lijah's absence we made sure to invite lots of friends along.
I came up with the idea of inviting friends to park at our house and bike up to Lexington for the festivities last year, but in the event rain forced a change of plans. This year the scheme was back bigger and better than even, so we had five families all together at the parade route—six if you count Grandma and Grandpa as distinct from us Bedford Archibalds. Having so many friends to talk to was interesting, since it served to abstract me a little from the direct experience of the parade... in the best of all possible ways. Harvey and Zion were insulated by their friends too, and additionally their focus on ingesting as much parade-grade sugar as possible.
The biking part of the trip—with the best part of three families—was lovely; the four kids on their own bikes did a fantastic job, and I had fun hauling a couple more in the blue bike. Having it makes packing for an outing a lot easier. Bring a soccer ball? Why not?!
We managed the 4.5 mile trip up in about 40 minutes, plenty of time for a relaxing lunch—and a little soccer!—before the parade.
Other folks joined us by auto and foot, including some little guys, who weren't sure what to make of all the excitement. But parents knew how to enter into the spirit of it all!
For their part Harvey and Zion are parade pros, and even distracted by friends and food they enjoyed it all to the fullest.
So that was that—then those of us with bikes went back to our house and kept the party going with beer and Indian food—and mac and cheese for the kids—for another three hours, but that's another story. Let's do it again next year!
first "spring" outing
With the winter as warm as it's been we've been able to expand out outings a little bit beyond the usual suspects of museums, libraries, and indoor play spaces. But so far this year we've been making wintery choices: playgrounds, sure, but by car and with indoor destinations as well. Today wasn't super warm but it was bright and sunny, with a distinct springlike feel, so I thought we'd try out our warm-weather outing model: pack some bags, hop on the bikes, and see where we end up!
After a brief stop at the auto-parts store (trying to get the van ready to be inspected next month) we ended up by the old reservoir, where we dropped the bikes and took to the woods.
It was great to be hiking again. And naturally, every hike needs a snack break! I'm working on distributing responsibility, so Harvey got to pack the snacks. That meant store-bought chewy granola bars for everyone! (plus a muffin for himself).
Just as the water is a big draw in warmer weather, the ice was today. Given the insane warmth over the weekend I was surprised to see it looking pretty solid—and of course we had to try walking on it.
As much as we enjoy snow, it's absence meant we could roam wherever we wanted, including up some startlingly steep slopes.
That one was steep enough that sliding down in on the leaves made a satisfactory sledding replacement!
After that I was ready to head home for lunch—I didn't get a muffin!—but the big boys wouldn't leave until they at least tried to cross the ice on the lower pond to the pump house, or whatever it is. Ice that was somewhat softer than on the reservoir proper—but don't worry, Harvey had a plan: send Zion first. They were very proud when they made it, and of course Lijah insisted on joining them. Then we went home. By that point we were all ready for a rest.
Of course, Zion was just pretending to be sleeping. But he was ready to sit on the couch and listen to three stories before lunch and another four afterwards. Spring is tiring!
our stories and winds
Back when I worked at schools with lots of people who didn't know me very well, every winter brought near-daily comments about winter cycling—most of which were about how I managed with the cold. As I've mentioned lots before, the cold isn't really the problem, and as I rode in to work yesterday morning I concluded that 20°F was about the perfect temperature for cycling: not to hot, not too cold, and I didn't have to stop once to adjust my outfit! On the way home, though, I ran into the real hazard of cycling in winter: the wind.
I've never paid enough attention to notice if winter winds are stronger overall that what you experience other times of year, or if it's just that there's less vegetative matter to provide ground-level shelter—probably a combination. Whatever the reason, I totally noticed when the wind was against me almost the whole way home. There were moments when I felt like I could barely make any progress at all: I had to work so hard to move so slowly I was just about ready to give up and walk.
The funny thing is, it was about as windy in the morning, but of course then the wind was at my back. And that way I didn't notice it particularly; I just figured I'm a really strong cyclist so naturally things were easy and quick! I wonder how much something like that dynamic plays out other places in my life. When things are going well, it's easy to take the credit myself: I'm naturally gifted and well-prepared! If work is tougher, I may be more likely to notice the external causes for my troubles. Of course, it can go the other way too: lots of times we can fail to notice the conditions we can't control that are holding us back, instead attributing our failures to our own faults. In both ways, the stories that we tell ourselves might be totally removed from an objective consideration of the situation, a consideration that would have to show that sometimes the wind is blowing our way, and sometimes it's against us. Maybe knowing that can help us relax a bit.
And anyway, as windy as it might get here this winter I don't think it'll top what the folks in this video experienced—"Watch riders battle 100kph headwind". The only upside of that much wind—besides that it's probably kind of cool to feel your bike blowing away—is that you can't fail to notice it. Sometimes, no matter how strong or skilled you are, you just aren't going to be able to make progress. And when you're faced with that much opposition, maybe the only thing to do is laugh, turn around, and try again another day.
Yesterday wasn't that bad; I made it home, and after an hour or two I had even recovered from the effort!
slippery cycling
Now that I'm not on a school schedule I find that I have to work a little between Christmas and New Years, but with the weather finally turned wintery I was happy for my chance at the first ice cycling of the season. I only fell twice!
The path was plowed yesterday but not down to pavement everywhere; and even if it had been it wouldn't have mattered because more freezing drizzle fell overnight, so the whole thing was pretty much a skating rink. In order to stop without falling I had to put a foot down, but even then I slid a good 10 or 20 feet. It was a little surprising the first time, but then I was ready for it.
If the whole surface were flat, I wouldn't have had any problems; once you get used to the disconcerting sensation of the back wheel sliding out from under you you realize you can pull it back in and keep yourself going forward. As I said a couple years ago, ice biking is easy as long as you don't have to speed up, turn, or stop. When the icy ground is uneven, though, things get trickier—and it was just warm enough in the middle of the day yesterday for other cyclists to have left shallow tracks in the ice. It was one of those that brought me down on the way in to work. But the whole thing was so slow—I knew I was pretty much out of control and heading for the side of the path, but I had plenty of time to think about it and my landing was charmingly soft. And all the moments I didn't fall I was reveling in the challenge of the operation.
Unfortunately, I had a deadline to get to work, so in Lexington I abandoned the path in favor of the better-plowed and salted road. And on the way home I was feeling tired and again went most of the way on the streets. But the last little bit was back on the ice, giving me the opportunity to fall one more time just before I got home. Again without damage, so I can look back on the day with nothing but pleasure.
That said, having done it once... I won't complain if conditions are a little better by next week when I have to do it again!
weekend long ride
On Saturday Luke finally got me out to do a long ride with him. He started the day off by riding up here from West Roxbury, so he already had a lot of time in the saddle by the time I joined up; but with plans to go almost 50 more miles I wasn't sure if I was going to make it! We were headed out to the Haystack Observatory out in Westford, which meant plenty of fine fall riding along quiet rural roads.
After 25 miles or so (and only one major wrong turn) we made it to the base of Haystack Hill and, eventually, to the top. It turns out they like to put observatories up high.
It being a Saturday the place was closed to automotive visitors, but there was a sign pointing to a pedestrian cut-through around the gate. We thought that could go for cyclists too.
Besides a pair of giant white orbs (the Haystack Radio Telescope proper, pictured above, and the Westford Radio Telescope) and one smaller orb (Haystack Auxiliary Radar; only a 40-foot dish) the site is also home to a couple of much more visually interesting exposed metal antennas.
We deemed the Millstone Hill Steerable Antenna as the most photogenic for the purpose of our official posed bike shots; though I was challenged to get both bicycle and antenna in the frame.
Because we kind of had to sneak in we were the only visitors, but the site seems like it would be at least moderately welcoming to visitors during work hours. Outside one of the buildings they had a pair of parabolic dishes with platforms in front of them; standing on one platform you could hear a whisper from the other, 30 yards away (just like the one at the Discovery Museum only bigger and better!).
They also had an apple tree, and, as is always the case, I couldn't resist trying one. I had some thought it might give me super-powers—you know, the radiation and all—but no luck. It was pleasantly sweet but soft and mealy, so I didn't finish it (the only disappointment of the whole outing).
Then it was time to head home. We chose a more southerly route in order to make a loop, and it took us through picturesque Concord.
We crossed the Concord River by way of the Old North Bridge, which merited another stop for a photo.
Then home, for a total (for me) of about 45 miles. There were definitely moments along the way when I thought I wouldn't be able to make it up the next hill, but after finishing up with three flat miles on the dirt of the Reformatory Branch Trail I was feeling good and would have been happy to keep going even further. And I didn't even get sore afterwards! So... 75 miles next time?
Thanks, Luke, for getting me out there!
downtown by bicycle
I had a little extra time today between finishing up work in Cambridge and meeting Leah and the boys to hang out with friends in Arlington, so I hopped on my bike for a little extra ride. I thought maybe I could head downtown and go all the way to the ocean. That may not have sounded like a reasonable plan to Harvey ("there's an ocean in Boston?!" he asked incredulously, as I described the adventure afterwards) but, judging by distance alone, it was entirely reasonable—just like five miles away! Never having biked into the city, though, I overlooked one crucial point: it's a terrible experience!
Well, maybe not entirely terrible. But doing it as I was on a whim and without a well-planned route I exposed myself to all sorts of things that made for a not-so-fun ride. Things were fine as I started out from Rindge Ave down Sherman into Harvard Square. But east of Harvard—I ended up on Mass Ave, because, you know, you do—I was faced with a series of red lights that made me start doubting the whole enterprise. Over the river I was into Back Bay, which wasn't my original plan; I meant to cross the Longfellow Bridge, which is much closer to the ocean! Avoiding Comm Ave, I headed down Marlborough St, where four-way-stops every block—not to mention countless double-parked trucks—kept me from building up any momentum. And things got even worse when I hit Berkeley St, where, apparently, Marlborough's one-way traffic reverses! It was only with difficulty that I found a legal way around that didn't lead me onto Storrow Drive.
So there were navigation challenges; there's also the insanity of city drivers who, wherever the road allows, accelerate to maybe 30 miles an hour over a short block. That's tricky on, say, Arlington by the Public Garden, where I was trying to cross four lanes of traffic to make a left. Up Beacon Street I went to the State House, where I looked at the time... and made the decision to give up my quest. Caught in the crazy tangle of Old Boston streets, I was needing to look at the map on my phone at almost every corner, and I wasn't sure I'd be able to get anywhere in the time I had available—never mind getting back! So with many more map checks I made my way back down to the river and across the bridge by the Science Museum; if I was going to turn back before my objective, at least I'd make a good loop of it!
Across the river conditions improved right away—well, as soon as I got myself on the right side of the street. The cycling was fine on Cambridge St and I finally got into a rhythm and felt like I was on a bike ride rather than a mad orienteering expedition. Then I turned onto Beacon, where the paving is exceptionally bad. But Beacon took me up to Somerville Ave into Porter Square, where the green-painted bike lanes are a thing of beauty: a true paradise after the desperate struggle I'd endured. Too bad I could only enjoy them for a quarter of a mile before I turned onto Rindge and finished the loop (in an hour and ten minutes; I had plenty of time to spare).
I really ought to have taken some pictures along the way; there were many fine sights, and this is like the fourth pictureless post in a row here. But frankly I was too terrified and/or confused most of the time to be thinking about aesthetic concerns. The biggest problem was with navigation, and obviously if I knew the city better—or at all—I would have done much better there. But even if I'd been totally certain of my route, I'm still not sure it would have been a really pleasant experience. There are lots and lots of cars downtown—I can't imagine why—and when they aren't playing drag race on multi-lane roads they're stopped in traffic, so close to parked cars that you can't find a way to squeeze through. Add in the stop lights and the pedestrians (who are the smart ones—that's the way to get around the city!) and you start to question the sanity of the whole endeavor.
It was so bad that I need to try again one time to see if I can do it better.
hey kids, it's the day people won't try to kill you with their cars!
Today is "International Walk/Bike to School Day", and Bedford is observing it with all the care of a squeamish teacher pretending enthusiasm for the mealworms the kids are studying in science.
Led by Selectman Margot Fleischman and other volunteers, the Lane School walk from St. Paul's to Lane School is approximately 1 mile long, and follows neighborhood streets. The bike ride will follow the Narrow-Gauge rail trail from Loomis Street to the school with police support for all the road crossings.
Note how it says "the Lane School walk" and "the bike ride"—that's because, rather than letting everyone make their own way to school (presumably they know how to find it) administrators are hoping to gather folks at a few central locations in order to have them all walk or bike together. I wonder how many of those kids will be driven to the assembly points?
My favorite part of the whole ridiculous mess is the title of the Bedford Citizen article I linked above: "Wednesday is Walk-Bike to School Day — Drive with Care!" Unspoken subtext: if you try to walk or bike any other day, you crazy hippies, you can just expect someone to run you down! It's funny because it's true... wait, no, it's not funny at all!

Hi there
I am attempting to add some HTML to the footer.php - basically just some links and text.
I have found where I can do this but I is not picking up any of the styles so the footer area is 100% of the screen. There is also a large gap between the main site and the footer.
Does anyone have any ideas how to sort these 2 issues out please?

To begin with, RPGFan has finally completed its library of "Falcom Special Boxes", as Mike Wilson has reviewed '93 and '95, and I have reviewed '97 and 2004. These boxes contain music from Ys, Brandish, Popful Mail, The Legend of Heroes, The Legend of Xanadu, and others! Be sure to read up on these four new reviews. In fact, do yourself a favor and scan your way through all ten Special Box reviews.
Reader reviewer Derek Strange has also put in some work, reviewing The Legend of Xanadu Super Arrange Version. I matched this review with two reviews of my own: the OST and JDK Special for the same game. That's a lot of Xanadu for one update. Enjoy it.
Part three of the "Summer of Falcom Music" will likely contain more Ys and The Legend of Heroes, and perhaps some Sorcerian to spice things up a little.
But before that happens, expect the much-promised updates of Lunar and Atelier music, as well as some of the new and exciting soundtracks coming our way in the near future (such as Musashiden II and Shadow Hearts From the New World).
Finally, if you'd like to submit a review, whether we already have one or not, simply send me an email with the suggestion of what you'd like to submit, and all will fall together quickly. Thanks for reading!

The words that might have saved Omagh
Could a coded message intercepted by intelligence have prevented the biggest atrocity of the Irish Troubles, in which 29 people died? Despite two trials, and millions of pounds spent, still no one is in prison for the Omagh bombing. In a special investigation, John Ware asks why covert monitoring failed – and why this and other pieces of evidence were not passed on to police hunting the killers.

Drugs, prescription opiates and heroin in particular are such a pervasive issue in Ohio that the state is launching a new youth drug abuse prevention initiative called Start Talking.
Aimed at middle and high school students, the program takes a four-pronged approach aimed at boosting youth resiliency, and teaching parents and other adults how to start the conversation with students.
On Friday afternoon, Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor stopped by Ridge Middle School in Mentor to take part in a kick-off event for the initiative.
She said that before being a government official sheĺs a mother, and the ease at which young people can access drugs upsets her.
ôItĺs frightening, as a parent, to understand the correlation between opiates and heroin,ö she said. ôAnd then, unfortunately, how easy and cheap heroin is to get on the streets.ö
Mentor High Football Head Coach Steve Trivisonno made, perhaps, the most poignant presentation during the event. He told the story of a young man he coached a few years back who succumbed to addiction.
ôHe was our quarterback at Mentor High. A beautiful kid Ś 6-3, strong arms and a decent student,ö he said. ôHe went on to college and became a starting quarterback at the Division I level and was successful.ö
Three years into his college career, the young man was removed from team because he had been caught stealing things to sell so he could buy prescription drugs. Trivisonno said he saw the young man a few days after the news broke. He remembered grabbing the young man he coached, shaking him asking, ôWhat were you doing?ö
ôI was angry. I always tell kids when they leave, ĹDonĺt embarrass us,ĺ ö Trivisonno said. ôHe looks at me and starts to cry... We talked and as weĺre standing there he says, ĹCoach, you donĺt understand. You donĺt get how addicting it is. I canĺt stop.ĺ At that point, I looked at him and said, ĹOK. What are we going to do?ĺ ö
The young man went through a rehab program and came to visit his former coach in fall 2011.
ôHe looked good. He was out throwing with our kids and he was going to try out for the arena team here in Cleveland,ö Trivisonno said.
ôI get a call on a Monday, ĹCoach, (heĺs) dead.ĺ ö
The young man overdosed on heroin. Trivisonno delivered his former studentĺs eulogy.
ôIt starts here. It starts with all of us. Itĺs starts with our parents caring. It starts with our schools,ö he said. ôIt really only takes one time... We need to talk as a school district from the low levels on up. We canĺt sugarcoat. All it takes is once...It doesnĺt matter where youĺre from.ö
Tracy Plouck, director of the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, said discussions are happening across the state about needs for additional treatment and not enough access for rehabilitation in communities.
ôIn the long term we wouldnĺt need as much investment in treatment if we had more investment in prevention,ö she said. ôWe are delighted that the governor and the first lady have decided to prioritize prevention for youth drug use as one of their key priorities.ö
Plouck said the Start Talking initiative has four main components: 5 Minutes for Life, Parents 360 Rx, Building Youth Resiliency and Know!
5 Minutes for Life is a collaboration with local and state law enforcement members talking to sports teams before or after practice or games about staying drug free and being a role model in the schools, she said.
The program has already reached 6,000 student athletes in the state since it started in the fall of 2013.
Building Youth Resiliency is limited to Ohio schools where 40 percent or more of the student population is eligible for the free and reduced lunch program. Funded by state-earmarked federal dollars, Plouck said the program gives communities and schools tools to develop childrenĺs responses and building courage to combat peer pressure.
Know! and Parents 360 Rx are two programs aimed at helping foster conversations between parents and students through regular emails and an educational video, respectively.
Lake County Commissioner Judy Moran attended Fridayĺs kick off. Moran, a Willowick Democrat, who serves on the Lake County Narcotics Agency Board, just joined the Lake County Opiate Task Force after being asked by the Lake County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board.
ô(The heroin and opiate problem) is epic at proportions now. Seventy-five percent of people currently housed in our county jail are in there for drugs or drug-related offenses,ö she said. ôThis problem isnĺt going to be solved in the courts. Itĺs a social problem, and I think, pretty much along the lines of what was talked about here, we have to reach out as a community to solve this. Itĺs going to take a lot. We need to keep our children safe so we can raise the next generation.ö
Lake County Sheriff Daniel A. Dunlap said the war on drugs has been going on for years and, almost unbelievably, some areas have gotten worse despite in-school programs and increased enforcement.
ôWe know, more than ever, we need parents involved,ö he said. ôIĺm encouraging parents to get involved and have a deeper conversation about ethics, about drugs and what they can do to you.ö

Skip to comments.DUmmie FUnnies 08-07-08 ("Reuters admits altering Beirut photo")
Posted on 08/07/2006 7:43:42 AM PDT by PJ-Comix
click here to read article
And now Reuters has withdrawn ALL of his photos (so we cannot investigate them further online, guess the pajama people will have to go to the library, pull out copies of Time, Newsweak, the NYet Times, etc... and look for bylines.
Wonder if a Nexis search would point to the photocredits.
I'd bet this isn't the first time and Rueters pulled them all when they found a 3rd, 4th, and 5th doctored photo.
If they hadn't pulled them all, this controversy would just keep building.
I am surprised at how much play this is getting despite the lack of drive-by media coverage.
Uh huh,...I can't think of a single country that has been able to do things like build schools, hospitals and homes without the help of terrorist groups.
I am willing to say they were right there to dig out the people.
Oh, I bet you're right. In fact, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they were there much earlier than that.
I do not think this is a group that is just into terrorism.
Oh my....just...wow.
If they were ever posted then they will be cached in Google, Yahoo, etc.
The Internet is forever. You can't delete anything completely.
Wow, talk about being out of touch! Where has he been for the last 30 years, living in a cave somewhere? The MSM has been anti-Israel, pro-Arab for as long as I can remember, and I'll turn 69 this week unless I croak before Thursday.
"If you fax a copy of the Constitution to someone, the content of the fax is accurate, but the fax paper is obviously altered from the original parchment. But the facts are the same."
The key element of course would be that the contents if this fax would be verifiable by several independent sources. The Rather memo could not be verified by ANY other source.....That is why it had to be faked!
Can't wait to hear the stunning conclusion. BTW, you have a sexy voice!
Thanx. BTW, I just flicked on MSNBC to see "The Most" with Alison Stewart. I'm curious to see if she will cover the Reuters fake story scandal since that show is about what is going on in the Web. Come on, Vulcan Ears, don't fail me now!
Fortunately for the new nation Jefferson was still in France when the Constitution was being written and ratified. Quite likely he would have opposed it and may have had enough power to prevent it being ratified. There is no evidence that he ever understood it anyway.
If only there was some way to prevent poor fake pictures and information from getting into the MSM. The media should hire people to prevent this. We can even call them, well I don't know, perhaps "editors". I realize this is a radical concept.
Dhimmi Duhmie.
I love how these dorks say the photoshop was SO obvious, yet it took a right winger and none of them to expose it.
LOL. The man was "suspended" and the news organization has recalled all of his photographs and I am wondering if they took back his cash reward from last week too.
And the DUers still believe the photo was real... lol... are the DUpes really real?
BEHOLD, the POWER of CHEESE... I mean the Alternative Media
LOL... sort of like Benjamin Franklin seemed to understand everything except economics
Dieux Dieux LeSoir (10 posts) Sun Aug-06-06 04:16 PM Response to Reply #13 16. Reuters shouldn't have backed down Whether or not the photo was enhanced isn't whats most important. Reuters is with us. They shouldn't give the dark side any credit ever. It's war.
This lets the rightists crow about how the media "lies". This is their "proof" of "leftist media agenda " journalism they're always whining about.
Give them nothing. All's fair in war.
But the facts are the same. Very slick sleight of hand by the GOP. Confuse and distort. They are masters of it.
Like the "forged document" that documented Duhbya's AWOL escapades, the document's veracity was called into question, but the facts it contained never were.
WoW! The DUmmies were saying just the opposite about the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth! Just reread the previous quotes and imagine that the quotes were from Freepers and the topic was Swift Boat. It's a good fit.
I can't help wonder if the DUmmies are more guilty of hypocrisy or double standard! LOL!.
and the DNC Noise Machine can cry "foul!" over and over and over.Meanwhile; the facts remain.
But the facts are the same. Very slick sleight of hand by the Dems. Confuse and distort. They are masters of it.
Like the "blatant lies" that documented Kerry's phony medal escapades, the Veteran's veracity was called into question, but the facts it contained never were.
There, that's better.
Incredible. They will accept an obvious fake only because conservatives had a hand in revealing it. I really need to market some junk for these morons to buy. I could sell them the Brooklyn Bridge if I painted "Bush Sucks" on it.
Cameras could come with a checksum to indicate any editing.
A reputable news agency would then ask to see the full unaltered file after determining that there have been alterations.
In case you haven't been watching--I thought the issue was dead and buried, but alas no--the madwoman is at it again.
She admits to extortion, and calls a judge in the case "a boob."
Link on my next comment.
Compared to Hamilton Franklin's understanding was limited. Most of his life there was little economic theory even available and I have seen nothing to indicate that he studied it much. Compared to an ordinary guy I am sure he was highly knowledgable.
He never advocated the economic follies that Jefferson did that is for sure. America's enemies could not have designed a more limiting and reactionary course for it to follow than Jeffersonian political/economy. It's disastrous mis-prescription was clearly shown by the course which led to the Civil War defeat of the Confederacy.
Jefferson's concept of the Constitution was that there was not one but dozens. His argument against the National Bank demonstrates that he did not understand the instrument or the Bank.
Why go to all the trouble? Just open a paypal account and start a "I'm only $10 away from painting 'Bush Sucks' on every bridge in the nation!" thread at DU. Photoshop a few samples of your work in progress, keep the thread bumped, retire a millionaire.

137. Do you now admit that the heading of your post was false? Or are you still standing by your assertion that "Reuters admits altering Beirut photo," even though there is not one bit of evidence of any such a statement by Reuters? Blurting out childish insults does not constitute evidence.
Hey ConsAreLiars, how insulated are you not to realize that Reuters has ADMITTED to doctoring the photo? Dumbass.
Prob b/c your avatar is a Star of David. Moonbats hate Jews.
Fun to watch that trainwreck happening.
This exchange says it all:
"What sort of man needs a restraining order against a woman?"
Dja ever see "Fatal Attraction?"
Ever hear of "Squeaky" Fromme?
Unstable women can be plenty dangerous.
Her response:
"Well-behaved women rarely make history.
it's not just a bumper sticker - it's a philosophy of life!"
This is in one of her comment sections.
Oh, great. I just gave up popcorn. Back on the ol' diet again. Now I won't have anything to snack on while reading her garbage.
Well, here goes....
Because rather than going to a local real-life attorney, she searched the internet for legal advice. This is a real basket-case here, and bears watching, at least for entertainment.
"After consulting with Mr. Paul Davis, a lawyer affiliated with the denver firm moet/white, Count Cockula decided it was cost-effective to pursue legal action against me."
Apparently she did consult with an attorney, at one point, to pursue Jeff Goldstein. Her "...it was not cost effective" statement makes it clear he didn't think she had a case. What she hasn't done is acquire an attorney in her defense. That is a major mistake.
Her train is about at the end of track and the wreck is about to happen. She has no clue as to what constitutes libel or veiled threats. Her continued rants are fodder for the plaintiff's attorneys. She is clueless. She's enjoying the notoriety this has brought, but the fallout hasn't sunk in. WOW!
If you check, though, you'll find out she consulted this attorney via the internet, not in real life.
And you are absolutely correct; she is being sued, and she does need an attorney.
Not only does she have a restraining order against her, she freely admits online to seeking money from the plaintiff. But she doesn't see how this can be considered extortion? Give me a break.
LOL! These people are certified whack jobs. Certified, I tell you!~

I keep hearing people say that no one writes good songs anymore. Then, when a "good" one comes out, it gets treated like an anomaly. Well, Meg Hutchinson knows how to write a tune. The multi-talented Boston, Massachusetts entertainer has won quite a few songwriting awards, but the proof is in the music. You'll find it by listening to Come Up Full, Ms. Hutchinson's collection of organic, poetic narratives, each one communicating the singer-songwriter's keen and descriptive observations of life, love, and loss. Hutchinson puts her degree in creative writing to good use, crafting metaphors based on nature to convey the truths of her experience. She's got mountains, stars, fishing nets, birds, and feathers working on her behalf, but it never sounds trite. That's a singular feat, considering her reworking of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" that makes me forget how high the original song ranks on my list of least favorites. Her voice brings everything together, a full and smoldering instrument in the same range as Alana Davis and Norah Jones. The main nitpick is that her voice is perhaps too smooth, too controlled, and when her song describes a tumultuous emotional journey that ends in peace, the voice tends to conveys the calm without hint of the storm. She's reflective, but not always troubled, though a song like "Song for Jeffrey Lucey" and its homage to a soldier's life in the military offers plenty of opportunity to express disquietude. Or maybe it's me. Maybe I'm not accustomed to hearing someone who sounds healthy and well adjusted. I suppose that's another thing that seems out of place in the music biz.

March and April can be very cold and you will be standing in an unheated blind for about two hours, so dress appropriately. It is better to wear too much than not enough!
What to Wear:
- The warmest coat and clothing you have, including long underwear
- The warmest boots you have, along with wool or synthetic socks (avoid cotton)
- Very warm mittens or gloves
- Stocking cap or insulated hat
- Please wear dark clothing as this helps us to blend in with our surroundings when walking to and from the blinds
What to Bring:
- Binoculars
- Camera (NO FLASHES) &/or video camera - See 'Photography Policy' below
- Warm drinks & snacks (chemical toilets are outside each blind)
- Flashlights or NOT allowed
Photography Policy
Cameras and other recording devices are welcome in our viewing blinds, provided they do not place the cranes at risk or detract from the experience for others. Below are rules/guidelines for photography and recording in the general viewing blinds:
- Rowe Sanctuary reserves the right to ban use of any device determined to be a nuisance.
- No flash allowed. All flashes and focusing lights on cameras must be covered with black plastic tape before arriving for the tour.
- Continuous mode or rapid fire photography is not allowed.
- Tripods will no longer be allowed in the viewing blinds due to space issues and tripping hazards. Monopods will be allowed.
- The use of cameras and any other recording devices will be allowed in the viewing blinds ONLY when there is enough light to prevent disturbance to cranes. This will prevent illumination from LCD screens in the blinds from spooking cranes roosting on the river and from diminishing the viewing experience for all visitors in the viewing blinds. Otherwise, all cameras and recording devices must be stored during the tour.
- Tablets (i.e. - Ipads, etc.) are not allowed.
- If you have a large lens, it cannot extend outside of the window. This applies to everything else as well (i.e. - hands, face, binoculars, etc.).
- If you plan to use your camera phone, you must change your settings to Airplane Mode and silent while on the tour.

Tinea Capitis
- Author: Marc Zachary Handler, MD; Chief Editor: Dirk M Elston, MD more...
Tinea capitis is a disease caused by superficial fungal infection of the skin of the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes, with a propensity for attacking hair shafts and follicles (see the image below). The disease is considered to be a form of superficial mycosis or dermatophytosis. Several synonyms are used, including ringworm of the scalp and tinea tonsurans. In the United States and other regions of the world, the incidence of tinea capitis is increasing.
See 15 Rashes You Need to Know: Common Dermatologic Diagnoses, a Critical Images slideshow, for help identifying and treating various rashes.
Also, see the 15 Back-to-School Illnesses You Should Know slideshow to help identify conditions that may occur in young patients after they return to the classroom.
Dermatophytosis includes several distinct clinical entities, depending on the anatomic site and etiologic agents involved. Clinically, the conditions include tinea capitis, tinea favosa (favus resulting from infection by Trichophyton schoenleinii), tinea corporis (ringworm of glabrous skin), tinea imbricata (ringworm resulting from infection by Trichophyton concentricum), tinea cruris (ringworm of the groin), tinea unguium or onychomycosis (ringworm of the nail), tinea pedis (ringworm of the feet), tinea barbae (ringworm of the beard), and tinea manuum (ringworm of the hand).
Clinical presentation of tinea capitis varies from a scaly noninflamed dermatosis resembling seborrheic dermatitis to an inflammatory disease with scaly erythematous lesions and hair loss or alopecia that may progress to severely inflamed deep abscesses termed kerion, with the potential for scarring and permanent alopecia. The type of disease elicited depends on interaction between the host and the etiologic agents.
The term tinea originally indicated larvae of insects that fed on clothes and books. Subsequently, it meant parasitic infestation of the skin. By the mid 16th century, the term was used to describe diseases of the hairy scalp. The term ringworm referred to skin diseases that assumed a ring form, including tinea. The causative agents of tinea infections of the beard and scalp were described first by Remak and Schönlein, then by Gruby, during the 1830s. Approximately 50 years later, in Sabouraud's dissertation, the endothrix type of tinea capitis infection was demonstrated, and it was known that multiple species of fungi cause the disease. Simple culture methods were described and treatment using x-ray epilation was reported in 1904. Effective treatment of tinea capitis by griseofulvin became available in the 1950s.
Tinea capitis is caused by fungi of species of genera Trichophyton and Microsporum. Tinea capitis is the most common pediatric dermatophyte infection worldwide. The age predilection is believed to result from the presence of Pityrosporum orbiculare (Pityrosporum ovale), which is part of normal flora, and from the fungistatic properties of fatty acids of short and medium chains in postpubertal sebum.
Causative agents of tinea capitis include keratinophilic fungi termed dermatophytes. These molds usually are present in nonliving cornified layers of skin and its appendages and sometimes are capable of invading the outermost layer of skin, stratum corneum, or other keratinized skin appendages derived from epidermis, such as hair and nails.
Dermatophytes are among the most common infectious agents of humans, causing a variety of clinical conditions that are collectively termed dermatophytosis. From the site of inoculation, the fungal hyphae grow centrifugally in the stratum corneum. The fungus continues downward growth into the hair, invading keratin as it is formed. The zone of involvement extends upwards at the rate at which hair grows, and it is visible above the skin surface by days 12-14. Infected hairs are brittle, and by the third week, broken hairs are evident.
Three types of in vivo hair invasion are recognized.
Ectothrix invasion is characterized by the development of arthroconidia on the exterior of the hair shaft. The cuticle of the hair is destroyed, and infected hairs usually fluoresce a bright greenish-yellow color under a Wood lamp ultraviolet light. Common agents include Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton equinum, and Trichophyton verrucosum.
Endothrix hair invasion is characterized by the development of arthroconidia within the hair shaft only. The cuticle of the hair remains intact and infected hairs do not fluoresce under a Wood lamp ultraviolet light. All endothrix-producing agents are anthropophilic (eg, Trichophyton tonsurans, Trichophyton violaceum).[1]
Favus, usually caused by T schoenleinii, produces favuslike crusts or scutula and corresponding hair loss.
United States
Occurrence of the disease is no longer registered by public health agencies; therefore, true incidence is unknown. The reported peak incidence occurs in school-aged African American male children, at rates of 12.9%.[2] In Northern California, the reported incidence among the pediatric population is 0.34%.[3]
Tinea capitis is predominantly a disease of preadolescent children. Typical age of onset is between 5 and 10 years.[2] Tinea capitis accounts for up to 92.5% of dermatophytoses in children younger than 10 years. The disease is rare in adults, although occasionally, it may be found in elderly patients. Tinea capitis occurrence is widespread in some urban areas in the United States.
Tinea capitis is widespread in some urban areas, particularly in children of Afro-Caribbean extraction, in North America, Central America, and South America. It is common in parts of Africa and India.[4, 5, 6, 7] In Ethiopia, the incidence of tinea capitis is 8.7% among children aged 4-14 years.[8] In Southeast Asia, the rate of infection has been reported to have decreased dramatically from 14% (average of male and female children) to 1.2% in the last 50 years because of improved general sanitary conditions and personal hygiene. In northern Europe, the disease is sporadic.
In the United Kingdom and North America, T tonsurans accounts for greater than 90% of cases of infection .[9] In the nonurban communities, sporadic infections acquired from puppies and kittens are due to M canis, which accounts for less than 10% of cases in the United Kingdom. Occasional infection from other animal hosts (eg, T verrucosum from cattle) occurs in rural areas.
The incidence of tinea capitis may vary by sex, depending on the causative fungal organism. Microsporum audouinii –related tinea capitis has been reported to be up to 5 times more common in boys than in girls. After puberty, however, the reverse is true, possibly because of women having greater exposure to infected children and possibly because of hormonal factors. In infection by M canis, the ratio varies, but the infection rate usually is higher in boys. Girls and boys are affected equally by Trichophyton infections of the scalp, but in adults, women are infected more frequently than are men.
Tinea capitis occurs primarily in children and occasionally in other age groups. It is seen most commonly in children aged between 5 and 10 years.[2] Mean age of onset is in patients aged 6.9-8.1 years.[3]
Tinea capitis carries a positive prognosis, with the vast majority of those treated obtaining resolution of the infection. Those who have maintained untreated or resistant-to-treatment tinea capitis are at risk for abscess development, referred to as a kerion.[10]
Continuous shedding of fungal spores may last several months despite active treatment; therefore, keeping patients with tinea capitis out of school is impractical. The causes of treatment failure include reinfection, relative insensitivity of the organism, suboptimal absorption of the medication, and lack of compliance with the long courses of treatment. T tonsurans and Microsporum species are typical offending agents in persistent positive cases. If fungi can still be isolated from the lesional skin at the completion of treatment, but clinical signs have improved, the recommendation is to continue the original regimen for another month.
Classification and severity of tinea capitis depend on the site of formation of their arthroconidia.
Ectothrix infection is defined as fragmentation of the mycelium into conidia around the hair shaft or just beneath the cuticle of the hair, with destruction of the cuticle. Inflammatory tinea related to exposure to a kitten or puppy usually is a fluorescent small spore ectothrix. Some mild ringworm or prepubertal tinea capitis infections are of the ectothrix type, also termed the gray-patch type (microsporosis; see the image below). Some ectothrix infections involute during the normal course of disease without treatment. Depending on the extent of associated inflammation, lesions may heal with scarring.
Endothrix infections are noted in which arthrospores are present within the hair shaft in both anagen and telogen phases, contributing to the chronicity of the infections. Endothrix infections tend to progress, become chronic, and may last into adult life. Lesions can be eradicated by systemic antifungal treatment. Since the organisms usually remain superficial, little potential for mortality exists. Disseminated systemic disease has been reported in patients who are severely immunocompromised.
Patient Education
Patient education is paramount in eradicating tinea capitis. The current recommendations of the Committee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics state that "Children receiving treatment for tinea capitis may attend school. Haircuts, shaving of the head, wearing a cap during treatment are not necessary."
