text: OverviewBack to top DevaCurl - No-Poo Zero Lather Conditioning Hair Cleanser - 32 oz. Item# :137546UPC# :859413000011 Brand:DevaCurl Size/Form:32 oz. Ship Weight:2.40 DevaCurl No-Poo Zero Lather Conditioning Cleanser - 32 oz. (946ml) DevaCurl No-Poo is the ORIGINAL, best-selling, non-lathering shampoo alternative. DevaCurl No-Poo is a sulfate free, highly moisturizing cleanser that stimulates, hydrates and cleans the scalp and hair to reveal the healthiest, bounciest natural curls. Accept NO imitations! DevaCurl No-Poo won the Allure Best of Beauty award in 2010 and is recommended for all curl types. Most shampoos contain dehydrating detergents. Replace the 'poo' with sulfate-free DevaCurl No-Poo. Frequently Asked Questions Will DevaCurl still work for individuals with permed curls instead of natural curls?Once hair is permed, it is considered curly and must be treated with the same care as naturally curly hair. Moisture is the key to success with curls so the more dehydrated, the more they encourage you to use their botanically infused and very moisturizing conditioners and styling products. Can those of us with straight hair use DevaCurl?Absolutely. This gentle sulfate free, paraben free, water soluble and botanically infused system is great for all curl types or hair that is worn straight as well as hair that has been chemically processed. What sets DevaCurl apart from other curly hair care product lines? DevaCurl is a 100% sulfate, paraben and silicone free system for curly, wavy and chemically dehydrated hair. Every DevaCurl product contains beneficial and moisturizing botanicals that rejuvenate, restore and respect curls' natural order. The unique Deva 3-Step technique has helped curly girls and guys to put down their weapons of mass curl destruction (straighteners, blow-fryers and harsh detergents) and embrace their natural curls. What is the Deva 3-Step and how often should I follow it? Cleanse, hydrate and define as often as your curls require. For some, the Deva 3-Step technique is a regular part of their daily routine and for others, once or twice a week is all it takes. To see the Deva 3-Step technique in action, watch here. Why is there no lather in the DevaCurl No-Poo cleansers?Lather offers zero cleansing value and is a by-product of the harsh detergents found in most shampoos. DevaCurl No-Poo, 100% sulfate, paraben and silicone free, contains a healthy dose of botanical ingredients for maximum moisture retention and frizz prevention. What is the difference between DevaCurl and DevaCare products? All DevaCurl and DevaCare products are 100% sulfate, paraben and silicone free and rich with botanical and plant-based ingredients. The DevaCare products contain additional vitamin C and orange peel extract to slow color fading. They recommend DevaCare for dehydrated, color treated and chemically dehydrated curls. Does DevaCurl test on animals? DevaCurl has never, and will never, conduct animal testing. No DevaCurl product contains any animal derived ingredients. Who is Lorraine Massey?Lorraine Massey is the original Curly Girl. Ms. Massey is the co-founder of Devachan salons, a sanctuary where clients can develop a pro-curl attitude and celebrate their curls. She is also the co-founder of DevaCurl products, an innovative collection of no lather, detergent-free and botanically infused cleansers, conditioners and stylers. Ms. Massey is also a best-selling author. In 2011, she toured the United States to promote Curly Girl: The Handbook, an expanded second edition to the original best-selling manifesto of the same title published in 2001. The Deva 3-Step: Three simple steps to perfect curlsEmbracing your curls begins with a proven three-step hair care technique: Cleanse. Hydrate. Define. That's the Deva 3-Step. No matter your curl type: S'wavy, Wavy, Botticelli or Corkscrew, doing the Deva 3-Step guarantees naturally gorgeous and frizz free, manageable curls. Step 1: CleanseA healthy scalp and sulfate free shampoo alternative, DevaCurl No-Poo is the first step to beautiful, natural curls. Most shampoos contain harsh, dehydrating detergents that create lather that strip curls of their moisture and irritate skin. The award-winning DevaCurl No-Poo is different because it's a 100% sulfate, paraben and silicone free non-lathering shampoo, and it is enriched with a gentle yet protective blend of botanical and moisturizing ingredients.Use a liberal amount of DevaCurl No-Poo to prepare your scalp and hair for Step 2. Step 2: HydrateThe Deva 3-Step begins with their sulfate free shampoo alternative and continues with hydration. Work a generous amount of DevaCurl One Condition through water soaked curls to achieve maximum moisture and conditioning for natural curls. Glide the conditioner downward through curls with your fingers. The DevaCurl One Condition ultra creamy conditioner is excellent for daily use and for all curl types.After you have gently rinsed the DevaCurl One Condition from the hair you are ready for Step 3. Step 3: DefineYou've cleansed with DevaCurl No-Poo non-lathering shampoo alternative and you have conditioned with DevaCurl One-Condition for beautiful, natural curls. Get ready for definition! Awarded the 2010 Allure Best of Beauty honor, DevaCurl Light Defining Gel is considered to be one of the best products for curly hair. It is an alcohol free, light hold, moisturizing and defining gel. Using a palmful of the gel, tip your tresses upside down and "scrunch" Light Defining Gel upward toward the scalp. DevaCurl Light Defining Gel dissolves instantly and dries forming a moisture-protection cast to enhance curls.Once dry, scrunch curls again to release the gel cast. Voila! The result is beautiful, bouncy curls. If you desire a more firm hold, try DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel. Curly Lifestyle : What Type of Curl Are You?To guide you in caring for your curls, DevaCurl consulted with the original Curly Girl, Lorraine Massey. While there are numerous types of curls, most can be categorized into four curl types: s'wavy, wavy, botticelli and corkscrew. S'wavy CurlsYou know you have s'wavy curls if you have: Hair that seems straight but could be encouraged to wave A natural shine A slight bend at the ends of your hair depending on the length Hair that holds its shape when layered Curls that fall vertically A low to no frizz factor A spring factor of 1 to 2 inches- (natural curl to curl pulled to it's full length If you have s'wavy curls, your styling priority is Definition. S'wavy curl types tend to need additional wave and curl definition, curl retention and hold. Wavy CurlsYou know you have wavy curls if you have: Hair that you've always believed was straight Hair that occasionally develops a natural wave after coming out of the shower,at the beach and/or in humid climates Hair that is dry on the ends Hair that has a combined wave and curl pattern, and flat on the crown Curls that fall vertically A low to medium frizz factor A spring factor of 2 to 4 inches- (natural curl to curl pulled to it's full length If you have wavy curls, your styling priority is Definition. Wavy curl types tend to need additional wave and curl definition, curl retention and hold. Botticelli CurlsYou know you have botticelli curls if you have: Curls that vary in size and shape Curls that tend to be looser, in the shape of soft S's, combined with those that are tight Curls that have a ropier appearance Hair that seems to wilt if it gets too long Curls that gracefully cascade downward and/or outward A medium to high frizz factor A spring factor of 5 to 8 inches- (natural curl to curl pulled to it's full length) If you have botticelli curls, your styling priority is Hydration. Botticelli curl types tend to need additional moisture, conditioning and frizz control. Corkscrew CurlsYou know you have corkscrew curls if you have: Curls that contract tightly if cut too short Lots of small spirals Hair that appears thickly textured when you look at it all together, but is actually baby-fine and delicate when you look at a single strand Hair that soaks up as much conditioner as you feed it Tangles and snarls under the top layer of hair at the nape of the neck A high frizz factor A spring factor of 9 to 12 inches- (natural curl to curl pulled to it's full length) If you have corkscrew curls, your styling priority is Hydration. Corkscrew curl types tend to need additional moisture, conditioning and frizz control. Curly Lifestyle: Curly Qs & TipsDevaCurl asked their experts to curlaborate and untangle some of the most frequently asked questions regarding curl care, maintenance and styling. Why is it advised never to dry curls with a conventional towel?Towels are too heavy and absorbent for hair. Most towels cause friction, which ruffle the sensitive hair cuticle, causing frizz. The DevaCurl DevaTowel and DevaGloves are made from soft, microfiber and designed to gently pull excess water from your curls absorbing just enough water to allow styling products to set curls and keep them defined. Expert Styling Tip: 'Scrunch-squeeze' your curls in an upward scrunching motion towards the scalp to absorb any 'extra' moisture. Can I blow-dry my curls?The full on blast from a blow-'fryer' is deadly to curls. Air-drying is the easiest and gentlest way to dry your hair. If you must blow-dry your hair, use a diffuser to avoid frizz. The DevaFuser, with its unique ergonomic design, was created specifically for curly and wavy hair and delivers 360-degree airflow to gently dry curls without overheating or disturbing them. The Curl Experts Say: Combine the DevaFuser with their redesigned DevaDryer for softer, shinier, frizz free and beautifully defined curls. For maximum hydration, which DevaCurl product is best for my curls?DevaCurl Heaven in Hair is an intense moisture remedy for excessively dehydrated curls. Expert Styling Tip: Use DevaCurl Heaven in Hair once or twice weekly allowing the hydrating botanicals to penetrate your curls. Leave on for 15-30 minutes with or without heat. Will DevaCurl Light Defining Gel or DevaCare Arc AnGEL leave my hair hard or crunchy?Curls will initially dry to a hardened crystallized cast or 'gel' cast. However, as soon as you scrunch your curls, the cast will dissolve to reveal soft, bouncy and naturally gorgeous curls. Expert Styling Tip: The more you scrunch the more volume and curl expansion you will create. Use more DevaCurl Light Defining Gel, DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel, or DevaCare Arc AnGEL rather than less as most hair requires the extra moisture and added curl definition. How do I give my roots more lift?After applying DevaCurl Light Defining Gel, DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel or DevaCare Arc AnGEL insert clips close to the scalp around the crown of your head to create volume and lift. Once the hair is dry, remove the clips and use your fingers at your scalp to shake out the roots. Expert Styling Tip: For extra lift, targeted definition and curl enhancement, spray crown with DevaCurl Spray Gel. I seem to have a little wave in my hair and normally style my hair straight. Is there an easy way for me to 'create' waves?Where there's a wave, there's a curl! Wavy hair is often misunderstood and confused for straight. Doing the Deva 3-Step will encourage your natural wave, and after 3-weeks, you may be surprised to discover your full wavy potential with loose, glamorous curls that shine with good health. Expert Styling Tip: For more defined waves, after using your DevaTowel, distribute a palmful of DevaCare Arc AnGEL using the scrunch-squeeze method. Bring your head upright and gently shake waves into their natural position and let them air dry. How can I maintain my curls if I choose not to cleanse daily?Daily cleansing is not always an option, nor necessary! For gorgeous second and even third day curls, spritz your curls with DevaCurl Mist-er Right. DevaCurl's lavender-infused curl revitalizer is perfect for refreshing, moisturizing and rejuvenating all curl types. Expert Styling Tip: Use DevaCurl Mist-er Right on wet or dry hair, whenever your curls need an instant pick-me-up! Can I detangle my curls with a comb in the shower?No. Your fingers are the gentlest way to detangle curls. Combs cause breakage and disturb the curl formation. Expert Styling Tip: Distribute a generous amount of DevaCurl No-Comb Detangling Spray throughout your hair. Then, gently glide your fingers through the curls. DevaCurl No-Comb Detangling Spray will help release any tangles that might be present. My curls look dull. Is there a way to make them shine?Unlike straight hair that reflects a lot of light, curly hair has contours, so light only reflects part of them. With TLC, and a few weeks of using a little extra DevaCurl One Condition, shinier curls will emerge. Note: avoid using silicone products for shine. Silicone coats the hair shaft of porous curly hair, sealing out moisture and causing the hair to become less defined and frizzy. Expert Styling Tip: Use DevaCurl MirrorCurls, the first ever, silicone-free, water-soluble, botanically infused shine serum. DevaCurl MirrorCurls delivers both moisture and maximum curl reflection! Simply being curly is not enough. Beautiful, healthy hair is the result of first accepting your curls for their natural state, then working with them and being consistent in your daily care and styling routine. What are the differences between No-Poo™ Quick Cleanser and Mist-er Right™?Lavender-infused, DevaCurl Mist-er Right hydrates, deodorizes and revitalizes all curl types in a matter of minutes. DevaCurl No-Poo Quick Cleanser features the same clean No-Poo scent and is a botanically-infused conditioning spray that cleanses without water, is instantly refreshing and uses Peppermint to invigorate the scalp, while adding lift, texture and volume. Expert Styling Tip: Section hair into 1 inch partings, beginning with hair at the top of the head. Spray No-Poo™ Quick Cleanser at the roots or where quick cleansing is necessary. DevaCurl DefinedWhen the original curly girl and best-selling author Lorraine Massey began creating curl-friendly formulas for her own curls, she discovered two things that turned hair care on its head. First, curly hair needs to be treated differently than other hair textures. Second, sham-"poo" and its dehydrating ingredients is curly hair's worst enemy. What happened next started a CURL-volution! With the support of thousands of enthusiastic curly hair salon clients, Massey and a talented team of curl care consultants developed DevaCurl. Perfect for curly, wavy and chemically dehydrated hair, DevaCurl cleansers, hydrators, definition and styling products are 100% sulfate, paraben and silicone free. Free your inner Curl. Do the Deva 3-Step and discover three simple steps to perfect curls.

Beginning on Thursday, March 1 at 9 a.m., registration for tickets in the peanut-controlled area for these three dates will open at brewers.com/peanutcontrolled. Space is limited to accommodate approximately 100 people in this area for each of these three games.
The peanut-controlled area seating will be in Club Outfield sections 306 and 307. Ticket prices are $38 per ticket plus applicable service fees; limit six tickets per order. A Brewers sales representative will be in contact to complete the order.
Tickets will need to be picked up at Will Call, and all fans in the area will be required to sign a waiver.

Larger statewide income tax cut?
(Columbus) - Republican lawmakers have unveiled a sweeping tax change that they say will put more money in the pockets of Ohioans and shift the state's tax system to more consumption-based instead of income-based.
"We're closing tax loopholes. We're trying to create a flatter and fairer tax system that benefits all Ohioans," said Ohio Senate President Keith Faber.
Under the plan, Ohioans would see a gradual income tax reduction over three years, beginning with an 8.5 percent cut in the first year. It increases to 9 percent the second year and 10 percent the third.
The proposal also gives small businesses a 50 percent tax break on the first $250,000 earned and increases the state sales tax from 5.5 percent to 5.75 percent.
"This is sustainable. This is balanced and it does not rely on one-time money," Faber said.
The plan also makes changes to the Homestead Exemption. Under the administration of Gov. Ted Strickland the exemption was given to all Ohio seniors. That would only be given to seniors who have an income under $30,000. The change would be phased in and wouldn't impact current seniors.
Republicans are also closing several tax exemption loopholes. You will no longer be able to deduct gambling losses and all tobacco products would be taxed at the same rate. Exemptions would also be eliminated for digital music and book sales.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Scott Oelslager (R-North Canton) says the idea is to give Ohioans more money to spend.
"And what does that do then? That spurs economic growth in this state and ripples out across the whole state," he said.
Democrats are quickly taking aim at the plan.
Their tax scheme will still disproportionately help the most affluent Ohioans at the expense of good schools and safe streets for the rest of us. The nominal gains Ohioans will see in their paychecks will not offset the inevitable increase in local taxes," said Sen. Nina Turner (D-Cleveland).
"Tax cuts do not make investments critical to economic growth. Its a wasted opportunity that could have been used to build a foundation on which the next generation of Ohioans can flourish," she said.
Turner also blasted Republicans for introducing the plan just 10 days before the June 30 deadline to pass an almost $62 billion state budget.
All Ohioans will have to pay higher taxes every time they go to the store or buy a car thanks to this Republican tax hike. This plan is the continuation of a GOP tax shell game that benefits the wealthy at the expense of everyone else. It is simply unfair," said Senate Minority Leader Eric Kearney (D-Cincinnati).

The verdict was just announced a few hours ago, but, predictably, the Irvine 11 have already been turned into hero-martyrs all over the web. Though there's no knowing yet whether the students involved planned this kind of treatment for themselves, their website and twitter stream make it appear that they've been ready and waiting for this for some time.
This makes it doubly important that people look at both sides of the issue.
I was in a group with Ambassador Oren just an hour or two before his speech in Irvine, at a pastor's reception at Mariner's Church. He had a lot to say about the opposition he knew he'd probably face at Irvine. It's a shame his comments have not been more widely aired, as they were both interesting and illuminating.
Here's a video in case you haven't heard what happened. In February, 2010 Ambassador Michael Oren, Israel's Ambassador to the United States, was invited to speak at the University of California, Irvine. Though school officials practically begged the hecklers to behave, a number of students so disrupted his talk that a planned Q & A session was cancelled and several students from UC Irvine and UC Riverside were afterwards arrested.
This morning an Orange County, CA court found ten of the students guilty of conspiring to disrupt the Ambassador's speech, and of then following through with plans to disrupt it.
As he was leaving the pastor's meeting, Ambassador Oren mentioned that he expected to meet some opposition in the coming hours at Irvine—and that he was glad his detractors would likely be present, because he really wanted to spend time listening to and dialoguing with them. I can't quote him directly, but I do know he said that such people were the audience he most cared about. He appreciated that they were passionate about an issue he also felt passionately about, and he expressed a strong desire to fully understand their objections and to spend time addressing their concerns.
Of course, anyone can say that. But Ambassador Oren spoke so firmly about his desire for fair, honest, productive dialogue with Palestinians and their supporters that it's hard to discount him. Had the students who disrupted his speech instead asked him to have a real conversation about real issues, he surely would have given them his time.
Unfortunately, it seems that's not what the Irvine 11 wanted. Too bad—if they'd really wanted to start a conversation, as their website claims, they could have had quite a conversation with Michael Oren that day in Irvine. It's a pity they decided to settle for less.

That first one is as old school as it gets! Straight out of 1983! Without that time period and style there wouldn't be any of you twirps spraying paint on shit. If you can't see the history in that piece then you need to find something else for a hobby!

^^ i disagree, the outline of the letters is all wobbly and shakey. and those don't look like any old skool i've ever seen. since when is "wack" old skool? so you're saying all the shit in the toy forum is great because it's 80's style. i can understand an intentional throwback, but at least make sure your proportions and bars are straight. whatever, people can have their opinions. you're insulting cats' character with your "twirps" shit. nobody called 4letters a toy, we're just saying that we think the other entries are better, and cat's shouldn't win these based on chars. i mean, why write "serios" when all that matters is the flashy shit around it?
OK howbout fartknockers? You throwing your 2cents in is insulting Berst! Dude lets just congratulate these 3 and get ready for the next battle! Can we agree on that? Berst explained why he chose his picks. Toy is an over used word in this craft. We were all toys at one time!
If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind, they are called vandals; if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God, they are called developers.
-Joseph Wood Krutch
seriously.. all that matters is the letters. place 1 is just mass while place 3 is pure class.
all three are fuckin killer!!
perts and ekose lookin super fresh but honestly ganes was my favorite of all the entries. such a grimey style yet somehow super clean

Alan Nunnelee on Technology
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Waxman, D-CA]: This bill will cripple National Public Radio, public radio stations, and programming that is vital to over 27 million Americans. We are now voting to deny the public access to one of our Nation's most credible sources of news coverage. This bill does not save a penny. This legislation does not serve any fiscal purpose, but it does serve an ugly ideological one. This legislation is not about reforming NPR. It is about punishing NPR. It is vindictive, it is mean-spirited, it is going to hit the smallest stations in rural areas particularly hard. Public radio is indispensable for access to news that's hard to get, especially where broadband service is limited.
Congressional Summary:Stop Online Piracy Act or SOPA (in the Senate, Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act or the PROTECT IP Act, or PIPA) :
OnTheIssues Notes: SOPA and PIPA, proponents claim, would better protect electronic copyright ("IP", or Intellectual Property). Opponents argue that SOPA and PIPA would censor the Internet. Internet users and entrepreneurs oppose the two bills; google.com and wikipedia.com held a "blackout" on Jan. 18, 2012 in protest. An alternative bill, the OPEN Act was proposed on Jan. 18 to protect intellectual property without censorship; internet businesses prefer the OPEN Act while the music and movie industries prefer SOPA and PIPA.

Mayo Clinic accepts appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System sites.
Absorbing nutrients and maintaining a healthy weight can be a problem for people with Crohn's disease, especially after bowel surgery. At Mayo Clinic, dietitians with expertise in inflammatory bowel disease are part of your treatment team. If your digestive problems are severe, Mayo specialists may recommend special diets or home parenteral nutrition.
Many women with Crohn's disease worry about their ability to conceive or give birth to a healthy baby, but most can have a successful pregnancy and delivery. However, it's very important that both men and women with Crohn's disease who wish to have a child talk to their doctors. The disease and its treatments may affect the pregnancy and increase the risk of early labor or birth defects.
It's also important to work with a high-risk obstetrician and a gastroenterologist specializing in Crohn's disease. Mayo Clinic doctors have special expertise in guiding women with Crohn's disease through pregnancy and delivery.
Crohn's disease often causes inflammation outside the digestive system as well as other health problems, such as anemia, osteoporosis, and gallbladder or liver disease. Mayo's collaborative approach means a wide array of specialists who work with you and your personal physician so that you'll get exactly the care you need.
Crohn's disease often takes an even greater physical and emotional toll on young people, slowing their growth and delaying sexual maturation. At Mayo Clinic, young patients and their families work closely with a psychologist who can help them navigate the day-to-day difficulties of living with Crohn's disease.
The longer a person has Crohn's disease, the more likely that complications will occur. Through the years, Mayo Clinic specialists can provide careful, long-term monitoring and also help with decisions about school and other activities.
Mayo Clinic also uses advanced diagnostic tests, such as MR enterography, that don't expose children to ionizing X-ray radiation, which can be a concern when repeated imaging tests are needed.

|Official Title:
|Effects of Thymidine Sparing Regimens on Mitochondrial Metabolism and Adipocyte Apoptosis
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|April 2006
|Study Completion Date:
|December 2009
|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
The main objective of this study is to observe the effects of anti-HIV medication lacking thymidine on mitochondrial metabolism and adipocyte apoptosis (fat cell death). Changes in mitochondrial metabolism and increases in adipocyte apoptosis are associated with lipoatrophy. Lipoatrophy is a common condition characterized by loss of subcutaneous fat and can be caused by many anti-HIV medications. This study will examine the metabolic consequences of the use of thymidine analogue-sparing treatment regimens.
This study will evaluate HIV infected patients who are enrolled in ACTG A5202, starting their first nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI)-containing regimen. This regimen will include either tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) or abacavir/lamivudine (ABC/3TC), which are thymidine-sparing regimens. The changes in mitochondrial activity and fat cell death will be compared between participants taking thymidine-sparing regimens (TDF/FTC or ABC/3TC) and thymidine-containing regimens.
This study will last for 96 weeks, with two study visits occurring at entry and another visit at Week 96. During each visit, a dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan and blood collection will occur, and a fat biopsy will be performed in the lower abdomen under local anesthetic.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)

Medicine Buddha Initiation in Amsterdam with Geshe Sonam

Re: Medicine Buddha Initiation in Amsterdam with Geshe Sonam
For those interested in the upcoming Medicine Buddha jenang (initiation) with Geshe Sonam Ngodup on the 27th of April, I wanted to give some information. Several people asked if the bodhisattva vows were necessary to take. Geshe la said that for the full initiation it is necessary to take the vows. However, for those who wish to take it as a blessing, they are not necessary.

Have faith dude, this kinda chatter happens with every iOS update...Questions that ultimately lead to more questions...I wouldn't expect to see a JB this side of Xmas if past JB's are anything to go by...
I updated to iOS 7 Beta2 this morning and it works just fine over OTA. I am using it now. We now have voice recording back. Looks pretty sweet too. Seems to have fixed some issues i was having with iMessage keyboard not appearing when accessing an IM. It also has fixed the crashing when trying to call someone. Those were my two issues. Anyone else update? Have you noted any changes?
This is funny to read, those of you who know what you are doing seem fine, but the people asking all the
how to, where can I pay, are going to have their phones so screwed up, good luck, you really, really need
to know what you are doing or how to get back if it screwed up.
The easiest way is to jailbreak, go to Cydia and download all the ios7 themes, widgets, everything else.
Mine looks just like this and have no hassles, can continue to use my phone.
And will keep it this way until Evasi0n jailbreaks 7!! Hope they are running betas and testing!!!!!
2) Add your email account(s) and test them
3) Go to accounts.apple.com from a computer and link your email accounts to your Apple ID (Apple will send verification links).
4) Settings > Messages
5) Enable iMessage
6) Enable the option to receive through your email address(es)
There seems to be a lot of snobby people on this thread saying "if you don't know what you're doing you shouldn't be messing with your phone etc..." Laughing at people who have screwed up their phones, using condescending language...
The first time I bricked my phone it was the end if the world but I got on forums (this one in fact) and people helped me out. No one talked down to me like I was an idiot and I LEARNED.
I wish it was still like that, those people who patiently answered my idiotic beginner questions without calling me a noob, or belittling in any way...

NEW ORLEANS - In a season in which they dug so much to climb back into playoff contention, it seemed appropriate the Lakers operated in the same fashion in a game that could largely dictate those fortunes.
The Lakers' 108-102 victory Wednesday over the New Orleans Hornets didn't just mark a game in which they overcame a 25-point deficit against a sub.-500 opponent.
This didn't just mark the first time the Lakers overcame such a large gap since overcoming a 30-point deficit against the Dallas Mavericks in 2002. The Lakers' latest win gave them renewed confidence they can overcome any obstacle.
"Games like this really strengthen the bond between us players," Lakers guard Kobe Bryant said. "That's really what the playoffs are all about. You have adversity. It's about who's going to stick together and who's not going to break."
It helps that the win improves the bottom line results, too.
With the Utah Jazz losing Tuesday to Cleveland, the Lakers (31-32) trail Utah (32-28) by only 1 games for the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot.
The Lakers sat in their locker room afterwards eagerly watching the final minutes of Houston's loss to Dallas.
"Come on, Dallas!" Lakers forward Metta World Peace yelled from his stall. "Do what you gotta do!"
With Houston's loss, the Lakers are only two games behind the Rockets (33-29) for the seventh seed.
Yet, the circumstances easily could've prompted the Lakers to respond with this win in a sultry mood. They acted that way three weeks ago after overcoming a 20-point deficit against Charlotte, the NBA's worst team.
But this one seemed different even if the Lakers conceded 67 first-half points to New Orleans (21-41), which ranks 23rd in total offense.
Bryant took over the offense by scoring 18 of his 42 points in the fourth quarter. Dwight Howard overcame early foul trouble by taking a large defensive role, including blocking Robin Lopez's layup attempt with 27 seconds remaining. Reserve guard Jodie Meeks posted 12 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter by making 4 of 5 three-point attempts.
"Dwight played big. When he's like that and Kobe's like this, that's kind of what everybody envisioned it would be," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said. "We hope we can build on this."
The roles worked out perfectly.
The Lakers 20-0 run to close the game featured Bryant hitting a variety of shots.

I'm looking for a Gi, I fancy the blue Koral one but as I'm tight as fuck I don't want to shell out 100 notes.
Any suggestions on cheap, good quality BJJ gi's.
I'm looking for a Gi, I fancy the blue Koral one but as I'm tight as fuck I don't want to shell out 100 notes.
Any suggestions on cheap, good quality BJJ gi's.
A cheaper option to a BJJ gi is a Judo Gi. Fighting films do a great budget blue gi (Red Label). Here's a link : http://www.fightingfilms.com/acatalo...iandBelts.html
I've got a couple of fighting films gis and use them for trad JJ and Judo and they can take a fair bit of punishment. They dont shrink if you follow the instructions. Blitz do a budget judo gi and noe I think they do a budget BJJ suit as well. here's the link :
Hope this is of some use
Check out the gis by Padilla & Sons. The price is very good, not sure about the shipping costs though. They are out of stock at the moment, but Joe Padilla says they'll be getting new stock in Nov, so if you can wait, they might be a good bet. Have a search on the Jiujitsu gear forum for an awesome review of the gi if you're interested.
Koral are sweet But like all top brands you looking at 100+ notes for one
ICON Jiu Jitsu
The only bars i go to are Arm Bars, Knee Bars and a Mars Bar
hey james- how r u?
u got one? out in rio at the mo-trying to track down some koral ones-no luck as yet.
Smile Or Go Home.
I'm good thanks mate. No, I've not got one, wanted to pick one up when I was in the US last month as it would have only cost about £45-50 inc shipping, but they were out of stock (probably a good thing too, I've got too many gis already!!).
Hope you're well mate, have fun in Rio

Greenhouse Gas Inventory
In 2009, Skidmore's Campus Environmental Committee in conjunction with Facilities Services and President's Cabinet conducted a greenhouse gas inventory to quantify the gases released by college-related activities that contribute to global climate change. The College utilized an energy management firm to help with survey design, data collection and verification.
This initiative is driven by Goal III (Informed, Responsible Citizenship) of Skidmore's Strategic Plan, which states in part that Skidmore will "enhance our ability to function as a socially and environmentally responsible corporate citizen," and "make the Skidmore campus an environmental laboratory, increase our emphasis on responsible planning for sustainable operation and continue efforts to reduce the College's 'environmental footprint'."
One of the primary goals of this inventory is to establish a quantitative baseline of Skidmore's greenhouse gas emissions to inform the College's carbon reduction goals and strategies and thereby contribute to the overall goals of sustainability.
The data collected was divided into 3 categories defined as Scopes. Scope 1 includes direct emissions from sources that are owned and controlled by the College(for example, combustion of natural gas). Scope 2 includes indirect emissions resulting from the generation of purchased energy (for example, electricity), and Scope 3 includes indirect emissions that are a result of activities related to the College, but are not owned or controlled by the College (for example, employee commuting). Scope 3 emission data is more difficult to collect and therefore is treated as a more approximate estimation than Scope 1 and 2.
During fiscal year 2009 Skidmore emitted approximately 27,288 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (MTCDE) with 8,277 MTCDE in Scope 1, 9,203 MTCDE in Scope 2 and approximately 9,808 in Scope 3. Please click the menu to the right to download the full report.
The Campus Environment Committee (CEC) presented the full report to the Institutional Policy and Planning Committee, the Student Government Association, the Environmental Action Club and the report will be highlighted at the College's Earth Day Celebration on April 24th. In the fall, CEC plans to hold an open forum for the campus community to discuss the greenhouse gas inventory.
The intention of the inventory is to inform the creation of a Skidmore College climate commitment, which will set a percent carbon reduction by a target date. In parallel to the creation of the commitment, CEC in conjunction with Facilities Services, will also draft a climate action plan. The climate action plan will recommend a blueprint for greenhouse gas reduction initiatives that will guide the College towards its climate commitment. The CEC will reach out to the Skidmore community to contribute greenhouse gas reduction ideas and to help the College achieve its goal through energy saving behaviors.
The Campus Environment Committee would like to thank the many people who helped complete the College's inventory, in particular, Facilities Services, President's Cabinet and the College's energy management firm.

there are some jQuery basics I'm missing:

// third boad third boad third boad third boad third boad third boad third boad
// third boad third boad third boad third boad third boad third boad third boad
//

what do I have to do to make a variable equal to the images class?
In other words how can I pull information out of $data?
I'm not sure that I have understood what you are trying to do correctly, but try logging $data to the console:
maybe that helps.
If not could you rephrase your question?
yes, sorry..
I'm using the onSlideAfter callback on the bxSlider plugin http://bxslider.com/options
one of it's arguments is $slideElement which the markup being changed in the carousel rotation.
I need to access some markup, classes, ids, etc in that
 element that is being carouseled.
So normally if selecting say anything from the DOM you would just do a simple selector to access any elements class.
But the data I need is not in the DOM, it's in the callback argument.
So when I alert out the callback argument, $slideElement.html(), I get this snippet:
arg $slideElement =

what syntax do I use to extract information out of $slideElement?
Can you provide a link to the page where you have the bxSlider implemented?It shouldn't be too difficult to do what you want, but it would help to have some code we could both work off.
It's on my local only right now. I can try to post to public URL later tonight.
Until then could you point me in the right direction of what to Google? I get the feeling this is just a fundamental way jquery works, but I've only ever queried the DOM, like the common:
var class = $('img').attr('class');
where this time what I'm trying to do is like:
var class = $slideElement('img').attr('class');
var class = ('img', $slideElement).attr('class');
i did console.log($slideElement); like you recommended. There are 2 screen shots attached. When I expand the object in FireBug console I see the data I need. I'm just not sure of the syntax to get it.
Alright, I finally got off my backside and did some investigating The crux of the matter is what $slideElement actually is.It turns out that it is a jQuery object (which I probably should have guessed by the prefixed dollar sign)
I took the standard demo off the bxSlider homepage and did this:
mode: 'fade',
captions: true,
onSlideAfter: function($slideElement, oldIndex, newIndex){console.log($slideElement[0])}
Which returns this:

The long and winding road
So I then did this:
mode: 'fade',
captions: true,
onSlideAfter: function($slideElement, oldIndex, newIndex){console.log($slideElement.find("img").attr("title"))}
which returns "The long and winding road".
So, to summarize, as $slideElement is a jQuery object, you can use the find method on it.
In this particular case wouldn't .children('img') have less of a speed hit since we know the img element is a first level child to the object/li element?
I get using find if we didn't know that or were trying to get the text of the span in the caption ( though at that point you may as well just get the inner html and plan for the formatting ) but, in the case of .find my understanding is that it will essentially be checking every dom element whether or not it returns anything past the first subtree because there might possibly still be a match. Do I have the wrong of this?
Hey Belsnickle,
Good question.
Here's what the jQuery docs say:
Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .find() method allows us to search through the descendants of these elements in the DOM tree and construct a new jQuery object from the matching elements. The .find() and .children() methods are similar, except that the latter only travels a single level down the DOM tree.
The way I had always understood this, was that you call find() on a jQuery object and it will traverse the entirety of that object, looking for what you specified.
Actually answering this question got me interested in what jQuery is doing under the hood at this point.I had a look through the code of the latest 1.x jQuery version (v1.10.2) and the .find() method is implemented thus:
find: function( selector ) {
var i,
ret = [],
self = this,
len = self.length;
if ( typeof selector !== "string" ) {
return this.pushStack( jQuery( selector ).filter(function() {
for ( i = 0; i < len; i++ ) {
if ( jQuery.contains( self[ i ], this ) ) {
return true;
}) );
for ( i = 0; i < len; i++ ) {
jQuery.find( selector, self[ i ], ret );
// Needed because $( selector, context ) becomes $( context ).find( selector )
ret = this.pushStack( len > 1 ? jQuery.unique( ret ) : ret );
ret.selector = this.selector ? this.selector + " " + selector : selector;
return ret;
As you can see, the first part of the method is just declaring some variables and the 'if block' can be ignored in this case, as we are passing it a string ($slideElement.find("img")). In the for block, jQuery is handing things off to the Sizzle selector engine, so I logged the values of the parameters to the console:
console.log(selector, self[ i ], ret);
for ( i = 0; i < len; i++ ) {
jQuery.find( selector, self[ i ], ret );
This produced:

 ...

which at least proves that .find() is searching the entire object it is passed.
The implementation of .children(), looks like this:
children: function( elem ) {
return jQuery.sibling( elem.firstChild );
Which simply calls the .sibling() method on the first child of the element it is passed.The .sibling() method presumably returns the siblings of any element it is passed (in this case there are none), thus the image we are interested in is returned.
So, it seems that given the fact that .children() will only deal with first-level children of the jQuery object it is called on whereas .find() will traverse the whole object, in this case it would indeed more efficient to use .children('img').
However ...
Just to be sure, I created a test case on jsperf and rather confusingly, this proved the opposite true.
Can you have a look at it. Did I setup something incorrectly?
No it seems like you're correct, apparently it's there's a[ pretty unexpected technical reason for it which your code snippet that being that .children is using the .siblings function in jquery which seems to be using [URL="http://james.padolsey.com/jquery/#v=1.10.2&fn=jQuery.fn.children"]four potential loops (from .map and .unique) as opposed to the[URL="http://james.padolsey.com/jquery/#v=1.10.2&fn=jQuery.fn.find"] two that get called on .find() if you're only traversing one level down](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/648004/what-is-fastest-children-or-find-in-jquery). In addition to it leveraging the browsers better.
That's quite the interesting result.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
I walked the road by the sea. I walked past posters of oversized humans glued to windows and glowing surf ads that sold me happiness. I was lost in half-naked girls, surfers, kooks and tourists that belied my path to truth. Why was I so lost? I could have any surf product I wanted. Any type of board, hat, shirt, watch, towel, sandal, bottle opener, sticker—but none of this made me feel good. Nothing seemed real. There was no struggle. No reflection of the paddle through 10-foot beach break for that one big drop. No two-wave hold downs that reminded me I wanted to live—to surf.
Just press a button. I am a surfer like you. This was not real. So I got up. Leaving behind the bright lights and mouths to kiss but never found love. And as I walked further down the road by the sea, the night became quiet, and I soon fell to slumber. When I awoke, it seemed as though I were in a dream. It was a frog and a house? It was cozy inside—filled with the smell of sand and wax. There were things from the sea stuck to the wall and surf stuff crowded the room as though a group of good friends. The guy behind the counter talked of surfing Pipeline yesterday. This was it. This was real. Real surfers who didn't have everything I wanted, but the one thing I needed: truth.
Getting laser hair removal can be several things: painful, embarrassing, uncertain. But Esthetic RX makes sure a visit to its salon for a zap session is none of these. Knowledgeable and friendly receptionists greet all prospective clients, and they'll explain what to expect during the procedure, typical results and the different services offered—all before you make your first appointment. The professionalism doesn't end on the phone. Registered Nurse Carolyn O'Connell walks you through everything before starting treatment. She makes sure you are as comfortable as possible by gently numbing the area before beginning, stopping periodically to ask how you are feeling. And she's a great conversationalist. Oh, and it's walking distance from the beach, so when you're all done, you can show off your furless bikini body with pride.
Don't be fazed by the tightness of the space in this hole-in-the-wall (tucked behind a barbershop and adjacent to Wild Goose Tavern and an all-Hawaiian-shirt store) or the mountains of vinyl LPs that cascade to your feet because there's gold in them thar hills; while the standard A-to-Z rock albums and new releases abound, a hefty collection of rare and obscure punk, hip-hop, world and funk music await your discovery, so even the snobbiest audiophile would find something here to covet. Prices are fair, since many of the records are new presses, but if you're collecting on a budget, there's always the sale section, where records go for $3 and up. And if you're of the digital persuasion, the wall of CDs is fit for your perusal, as is the section of DVDs and old-school cassettes.
In an age when seemingly everyone buys games online, this independently owned shop is an oasis for gamers. Tucked next to an outpost of L&L Hawaiian BBQ, owner Lawrence MacSelwiney and his knowledgeable staff take customers through purchasing decisions, making sure they get the game they'll enjoy most, not just what's clogging the shelves. Looking for retro gems? Childhood faves to play on your classic system? Come on down; they're probably here. Your vintage Sega acting up? Bring it in for a speedy repair! These geeks won't lead you down the wrong path.
Black barbershops in Orange County are a rare find, and that's part of the reason why A-Unique Barbershop in Anaheim is so aptly named. The business has been going strong for 15 years, providing fades, lineups, tapers, texturizers and skilled specialty cuts. Owner Pierre Dotson, whose love for the craft is illustrated by the clipper tattoos on his forearm, and his wise-cracking barbers will have you feeling like a whole new person by the time they apply the finishing touches to your head of hair. All the while, sports, life, ladies and music are fair game for lively discussion whether you're in the barber chair or waiting your turn. A-Unique is more than just haircuts and conversations, though. It's about community and making everybody feel at home. Become a regular, and check in with the barbers about the next in-house domino tournament or hone your rhymes as the mic gets passed around. Better yet, show your love for this infernal rag by getting the Weekly's logo etched into your hair? A-Unique can do that, too, because they got it like that!
The head barber at Eagle & Pig in Costa Mesa might be the best-read barber you'll ever go to. Dane Hesse's barbershop—full of boards of the surf and skate variety, vintage mirrors and dentist's chairs, beer, dogs, and other miscellany—oozes cool. He specializes in interesting men's cuts, from the short, prim and proper to the pomade-heavy asymmetrical styles of late, and he shaves like no one else. But the prime reason to visit him isn't quality (though if he wanted to, he could rest on that alone). After graduating from Vanguard University with a bachelors' degree in history and political science, Hesse decided to learn a trade instead of working in an office. He's a great barber, yeah, but he might be one of the brightest, most erudite barbers in the United States. And really, who goes to a barber for just a haircut? Make sure you call ahead.

transcript:
DESTINATION: South Africa, San People
“This is not really our land…(SYNC) There’s our land in the park…(V/O) That’s our land.”
Eighty-two year old Feke Kuiper and her sisters Kees and Katrine were born in the Kalahari in southwest Africa.
They’re Khomani San, part of a group of people who have been living in this region for perhaps thousands of years.
And they want to go home.
“When we were consulted…(SYNC)...we asked for our land back.”
The sisters and their people were driven off their land after South Africa established the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in the 1930’s.
Witdraai – their home – fell within its borders…
Some of their people were persecuted…
Others exterminated…
The animals of the Kalahari flourished…
The San did not.
“A mob burnt down our homes…My father was already lying dead at Witdraai. Then we, the Bushmen, were scattered as we are now. Living apart.”
In 2002 the Khomani San settled an historic land claim.
Now, after sixty years in exile, Feke, Kees and Katrine, are going home.
“Now we are coming home, we dance for joy as we walk.”
“Police station! This is Witdraai. My father had this land.”
The sisters’ return heralds the start of a new conservation movement – one that recognizes the rights of displaced people to have a say in how Africa’s parks are run.
Huge conservation zones are in the works for southern Africa.
Six new mega parks known as ‘Peace Parks’ will cross national borders.
Already open, the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park has merged the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park with a neighboring park in Botswana.
At the same time, people like Feke and her sisters can finally go home.
Although their community still faces daunting challenges.
They will share their traditional knowledge with the next generation…
With the hope that they can help pull the San way of life back from the verge of extinction

Court upholds firing for off-duty pot use
(Denver, CO) -- Employers in Colorado can fire their workers for off-duty medical marijuana use, even though it's legal in the state. The "Denver Post" reports a court of appeals is upholding the termination of a man for using medical marijuana on his own time. The ruling sets a precedent that could prevent states from providing workplace protections for medical marijuana users. The court decided that since marijuana is illegal under federal law, employees are not protected for state-licensed use.

Perry Signs Bill Mandating Drug Testing for Some Unemployment Benefit Recipients
Governor Perry today signed a bill which requires some recipients of unemployment compensation to first pas a drug test before they can receive cash assistance, 1200 WOAI news reports.
"Recipients of unemployment benefits have a responsibility to be prepared to work when an opportunity presents itself," Perry said. "Our system is designed to provide assistance to people through a difficult time in their lives, not subsidize those who would misuse the system to live a drug-abusing lifestyle. This bill protects the resources that should be reserved for those truly in need."
The bill requires workers who are in professions where drug tests are routinely required, from truck drivers to nurses, to first fill out a questionnaire. If the answers to the questionnaire indicate a 'propensity for drug use,' then that person will have to undergo drug testing before receiving benefits.
"Many business owners have told me that they have available jobs but simply can't find workers to pass their company's drug test," said State Sen. Tommy Williams (R-The Woodlands), the sponsor of the bill.
Democrats fought the measure, and managed to strip out language that would have extended drug testing to all recipients of cash benefits from the state, including welfare, food stamps, and Aid to Families with Dependant Children.

Farmer's Markets and The People's Garden
The Obama administration has tasked federal agencies with encouraging a culture of wellness and improving options for healthy food in the workplace, such as making fresh fruits and vegetables readily available. This effort also places a high priority on using sustainable vendors and locally grown foods. In response to this, GSA is assisting its federal partners and customer agencies with housing farmer's markets and gardens on their property.
Why Farmer's Markets?
Farmer's markets are a great way to accomplish the aims of the federal healthy food initiative. By offering a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, and more, the markets bring healthy local food to communities across the nation.
Because of their central urban locations, federal buildings are excellent settings for these markets. GSA has been pursuing sustainable options in the federal workplace since the 1970s, so the federal healthy food initiative fits in well with established GSA goals.
Benefits of Farmer's Markets
Farmer's markets aren't just about providing fresh, locally grown foods. A market on federal property can:
- Revitalize a neighborhood
- Strengthen a community
- Improve the local economy
- Supplement farm income for local growers
- Contribute to the government's effort to combat obesity
In recent years, customer demand for locally grown and fresh foods has risen dramatically. More than 4,900 farmer's markets are now operating in the United States – an increase from 1,500 just 15 years ago.
For Building Managers
Managers of federal buildings interested in bringing a market to their property can find great information from the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS).
AMS has joined with GSA to prepare a guide to Opening a Farmer's Market on Federal Property. The guide lists further benefits of housing a market on federal property as well as important considerations such as security, insurance, and permits.
For Farmer's Market Operators
Operators of farmer's markets should also refer to the Farmer's Market guide to learn more about finding a spot at a federal building. The first step is to contact the manager of the local building. Contacts for all GSA buildings can be found on gsa.gov.
The People's Garden
The People's Garden Initiative, established in 2009 by the USDA, is another effort to give people greater access to fruits and vegetables and to promote sustainable agriculture and healthy lifestyles. People's Gardens are centered around community. They are a collaboration between volunteers, neighbors, and other community leaders, and they benefit the community while also incorporating sustainable food practices.
There are currently 124 People's Gardens run by USDA across the nation. Visit the page on USDA.gov for more information on finding a local garden or starting a new one.
