I brought up this topic of praiseworthy Republicans a few days ago, but fumbled the post by leaving a password lock on it [thanks again, moonbat, for correcting that], so now I'll revive the topic and develop it a bit.
The general consensus is that the Bush/Cheney team's unpopularity has reduced the electoral viability of the Republican Party. That is great for the short term and for a necessary pendulum swing from the Bush extremes, but is not really desirable for the long term health of a two party system. But I want to focus attention on the fact that the Bush/Cheney team has been targeting and/or sidelining and/or smearing 'praiseworthy Republicans' to such an extent that only Bush-aping extreme positions are considered 'true Republican' enough for today's Republican party presidential candidates or congressional leaders, in particular when it comes to the issue of the Iraq War. This, I believe, signifies an unhealthy mutation of the Republican party that threatens America beyond the day when Bush and Cheney leave office.
For some perspective on how the tenor of 'Republican' has changed in just four years, I am repeating the words of a group of 'praiseworthy Republicans'. Some of you may remember these words published in January of 2003 in the Wall Street Journal. They are worth a second and even third reading because, in hindsight, these 'pre-mutation' Republicans were remarkable for simply expressing their independence, and their common sense, wisdom, thoughtfulness and heart. Can you imagine any Republicans comfortable in speaking out like this today? The Bush team would work to destroy them.
Here are the words of the 'Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities', a group of 20+ Republican business folks led by Edward Hamm [he himself had donated more than a half million dollars to Republican politicians and causes, and I believe he paid the $170,000 cost of the following full page ad]:
"To President Bush, his advisors and the American People: Let's be clear, We supported the Gulf War. We supported our intervention in Afghanistan. We accept the logic of a just war. But, Mr. President, your war on Iraq does not pass the test. It is not a just war. The candidate we supported in 2000 promised a more humble nation in our dealings with the world. We gave him our votes and our campaign contributions. That candidate was you. We feel betrayed. We want our money back. We want our country back.
War is the most extreme action a society can take. It can only be unleashed after exploring every other road. You have not explored all the roads.
How many young American lives will be lost in this dubious war? How many more innocent Iraqis will be killed and maimed and made homeless? Haven't they suffered enough, after two decades of terrible wars and sanctions?
Among the one billion Muslims in the world there is a steady trickle of recruits going to Al Qaeda. You will turn that trickle into a torrent. A billion bitter enemies will rise out of this war.
And out of war may rise an Iraqi regime every bit as brutish as the present one. What will you do then? Our jaws drop when we read that you may decide to occupy Iraq for years, that the next ruler of Iraq may be…an American general! Is there anyone in this country who thinks that will work? Your odds of success are infinitesimal!
The world wants Saddam Hussein disarmed. But you must find a better way to do it. Why would you lead us into a situation where you are bound to fail? You cannot keep proclaiming peace while preparing for war. You are waltzing blindfolded into what may well be a catastrophe. Pride goeth before a fall. Show the humility and compassion that led us to elect you."

If you've got creative goals, my bet is that you've had to face anxiety about whether you would actually meet them. In its most dangerous form this anxiety becomes generalized — the free-floating fear that seems to emanate from your creative project and engulfs you when you approach it. When I've had this anxiety, it shuts me down.
In fact, I had this anxiety yesterday, and oddly enough it's because I've been celebrating some victories.
The book I've been working on is close to complete. During the holidays, I organized all my writing in one document with chapters and subheadings. It was beautiful! I felt like I'd seen a sonogram of this baby at 7-months. I could see it: all its fingers and toes! It just needs to grow a little more and soon it will be ready to come into the world.
The fear that somehow I would screw this up, that I would fail to nurture my baby to full gestation was what set me in motion: I needed a schedule! Every piece of creative success wisdom had said this. So I bought a calendar, and I started filling in how much I was getting done each week. Startlingly little. A lot of my "writing time" was spent goofing off watching movies about magic or doing research on magic. That's when I started to panic.
When I sat down to write an email to my coach (that's right the coach has a coach!).
I am having trouble putting together a schedule for getting my book done. To be clear, I keep showing up and working on it just like you've taught me, which is why I've made it this far, but I'd like to hammer out a schedule. I keep seeing things that say pick a deadline and work backwards to create a schedule, but I don't know if that's realistic given my circumstances.
The problem: Lots of times I hit a block where I have to do research, meditate, or otherwise process stuff before I can write because I have no idea what the next idea block of info is about or what to say about it. And so the book slows down, sometimes back to R&D phases. Also, I am managing some health stuff (in addition to juggling the full time job) so some days I just can't show up like I'd planned to.
When I try to create a schedule, honestly, it often amplifies the anxiety I already deal with on a daily basis and then I get MORE STUCK.
Is it possible to put together a schedule for completion in these conditions? Or is it better to just show up every day and record my progress?
I never sent that email. Because as soon as I wrote out what my problem was, I started to see what my REAL problem was. This is why when I'm coaching I say that we are not only learning to write but writing to learn! Once it was ON THE PAGE, the HUGE and INFINITE anxiety was FINITE, which meant that even it if it's big that it could be managed. That actually reduced my fear. All I had to do was write it down.
Basically, there was a cycle that was based on these fears:
#1 Fear of failure. This is based on the false belief that who I am is what I achieve. If I fail, this just reinforces what I have long suspected was true: I'm a fraud. A bad writer and a bad person.
#2 Fear of the unknown. The baby is still growing, and I don't know what it's going to need from me or what it's going to become. What if it's hideous? What if I'm a failure? (Return to fear #1, and repeat)
These are normal fears that whip into a fast and furious cycle of dysfunction.
After writing things down, I realized I've met LOTS of deadlines when the stakes were high and I had no idea what I was doing. The thing was, the projects were smaller and the parameters more defined. Yup. That was my problem — an Earth element problem that lots of writers have.
(You can learn more about The Elements of Practical Magic for Writers.)
I, like other writers, am so frequently BIG PICTURE (Air element) in my thinking. My brain is so busy envisioning the grand scheme that it's hard to focus on the minutia. But as soon as I realized, if I make this a CHAPTER project rather than a book project, the anxiety diminishes. And if I make this an ARTICLE project the anxiety is practically nonexistent. I needed smaller chunks! That's not a new or radical notion at all. In fact, it's common advice that borders on cliche.
I was so overwhelmed with anxiety, though, that I couldn't see or think straight.
I would have been stuck in the anxiety cycle and shut down if I had not written down what the problem was and meditated on it. Sometimes the answers come. And the good news is this: if the answer doesn't come, you have a clearly worded expression of what you want help with that you CAN SEND to someone who can help. That's also part of the Earth element energy that assists us in our creativity: having a tribe. (You can join my tribe.)
So that's what I'm asking you to do today. If you have some problem that is bedeviling you and slowing your creativity, write it down.
If you get an answer, would you share it me?
If you need help, let me know. I'm happy to help.

if you like soccer..i guess pretty much everyone knows who this guy is..but in case you dont know K'naan
here's T.I.A ( this is africa)
K'NAAN "T.I.A" music video directed by: NABIL from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.
also here let's hear an acoustic version of what seems to be the official song of the world cup 2010..
K'naan has released his new video for the remixed version "Wavin' Flag" that will serve as the official song of the FIFA 2010 World Cup.
The Somalia-born, Toronto-raised hip-hop artist has posted a remixed version of the song on his website.
"Wavin' Flag" was originally featured on K'naan's second studio album "Troubadour," which came out earlier this year. The track will be used in television commercials and online to promote the World Cup, which will take place in South Africa next summer.

Introduced to the Hermès house in the early 20th century, the Collier de Chien (often abbreviated as CDC for those who may not speak French) is a modern day classic. It has survived the journey of time for it be worthy of cult status and is highly popular amongst the current day trends. People who don't follow fashion find it intriguing with the cling-ing sound as we walk by and upon closer inspection, I often get people trying to play with the cute ring. I couldn't help but purchase another CDC belt to match my Jaipur Rose CDC bracelet! Not only so, it's harder to find a reversible belt by Hermès these days that has 2 colourful sides. Most often, you have one colour and the back is the typical black in Swift leather, whereas in the past, duo tone colours were more common.
Hermès SS15 Belt Kit in Jaipur Rose Epsom/Vermillion Swift Leathers with Collier de Chien Buckle in Rose Gold
Side by side comparison of Vermillion Swift (top smooth leather) and Jaipur Epsom (bottom grained leather):
– Vermillion is like a bright cherry tomato red
– Jaipur is a peachy pink almost like a dusty rose
Comparison of the Rose Gold and regular Gold plated buckles (shown with my Orange Togo/Black Swift CDC belt):

Powder coating is an environmentally friendly process. No solvents are used during the process and no VOC's are emitted during the powder application. Wastewater is closely monitored and filtered to meet stringent specifications.
Full spectrum of RAL colors, Cardinal Powder colors, and custom colors from a wide array of powder vendors.
We use ITW GEMA powder coating equipment to ensure the finest finish available and only quality powders are sourced to optimize our process. The powder is sprayed with a positive charge onto a negatively charged part so it will cling to the surface until it is baked to become the durable finish that is has become so desirable. Colors, textures, multi-coats and clears are all possible with this technology.
We go to great lengths to protect your parts during shipment. All palletized parts are shrink wrapped at each level of stacking and interleaving then the entire pallet is wrapped. Paperwork is placed with the shipment so it is visible. This gives a secure, protected, and professional package to its final destination.
Our shipping and receiving department can manage all of your transportation needs. We offer a personalized service of pickup and/or delivery within certain areas of North and South Carolina. We strive to provide accurate tracking and secure packaging to protect your coated parts during transit.

My wife and I are the proud grandparents of an eight-year-old. With my wife being retired, childcare during the school holidays is often left in her very capable hands.
My wife does not drive. School holidays often mean days out, especially during the summer holidays. Unfortunately, the costs of public transport, especially the service running through Widdrington Village, can be crippling.
To give you an example, a trip into Morpeth to visit Carlisle Park would cost £6 return adult fare and £3.60 return child fare. That makes a total of £9.60. The distance from Widdrington Village to Morpeth and return is 16.8 miles. The cost per mile is therefore 57p.
In contrast, a trip to the Discovery Museum in Newcastle results in an adult return fare of £7 and a child return fare of £3.60 making a total of £10.60 — £1 more than the return trip to Morpeth. The distance to and from is 44.4 miles. The cost per mile is therefore 23p.
Compare those trips with the overall running cost of an average family car costing less than £13,000 and fuelled by petrol, which is 29.3p per mile, (figures based upon AA running costs), and it is easy to see that using public transport between Widdrington Village and Morpeth is uneconomic.
The point of origin is taken to be Widdrington Village, but no doubt similar issues are experienced in other rural locations around Northumberland
This highlights a number of issues.
Deregulated public transport operators in rural areas can manipulate fares to make a route uneconomic to run and then blame the local authority's inability to subsidise it for its withdrawal.
How does an average rural family of modest means afford days out during school holidays? Even where entrance to an attraction is free, the costs of public transport alone can prevent the outing from taking place.
It is cheaper to travel into Morpeth by car than by public transport. Common sense can see the need for more car parking spaces in Morpeth town centre.
Mile for mile it is more cost-effective to travel into Newcastle by public transport than it is travelling into Morpeth by public transport.
As stated above, the overall fare of one adult and one child on a return journey to Newcastle exceeds that to Morpeth by £1. The number of free attractions in Newcastle to amuse children, especially during inclement weather, will draw families away from a day out in Morpeth. That would impact upon local businesses as any sundry expenditure normally associated with a day out would be in Newcastle.
I am aware there are some independent operators trying very hard to provide services to those areas that the larger operators have abandoned and their fortitude must be commended and supported.
Northumbrians must ensure that local public transport is accessible and affordable.
Often those who need to use it the most are also those who can least afford to.
Both local and national politicians must not swayed by any other influence, save for that of the people they have been elected to represent.
The needs of Northumbrians must be paramount in their thoughts and come before those of any political party to which they are affiliated, and certainly before those of the shareholders and officers of large organisations.
It's time for the dog to wag its tail and not the other way around.

I should probably do something to make this a little more exciting, shouldn't i? ^^;; I'll add it to the list, maybe then it'll make it past the bouncer!

creatures for a millennium. And true that except for its rather
close proximity to Canterlot and Cloudsdale, it would probably be
populated entirely by earth ponies who would gawk in awe at ever

many years ago, there were no stars in the sky, and there was no moon
above. The night was simply blackness, and nopony ever went out in
it. This is the story of how the night got its stars, and of the

upon a time there was a princess, and she ruled over all of

them too. But one pony, who she loved more than any other, was her

Another one of those crazy clone jobs! To those who recognize the Monty Python connection (spoofing Canadian He-man Lumberjacks): yeah, you are right - while working on the piece, I couldn't get the song out of my head, so at your own peril, click this video link - the song might follow you around for a while, like it did me........ The thought behind it: It's a "What If" story - there are parasites on plants; in the Pacific rainforest you find so called nurse logs, where new sprouts grow in fallen and decaying logs; we are sometimes invaded by fungus diseases, so why not something larger; I am also thinking of a painting by Arik Brauer that shows a palm tree growing from a date seed in the pouch of a perished bedouin in the desert - so what if a seedling sprouted on my arm, like on a nurse log? It just couldn't wait, I guess ..... What If ....... The idea was in my head for years, wanted to paint it, but never did. So this is the next best thing - a PS job.

We have received an incredible amount of interest in our Innovative Schools Workshop held this week at Botany Down Secondary College, with more than 100 educators gathering to discuss, debate and collaborate on the best ways to utilise information communication technologies (ICT) within the classroom.
The event facilitates two days helping school principals and senior leadership teams to build a strategic plan for effective ICT use within schools. This ICT plan will enable the schools to foster innovation amongst staff and students and accelerate better learning outcomes in schools. The workshop is free to all primary and secondary school educators and provides them with tangible ideas to kick start ICT use.
If you have missed out on registering to attend this event we hope to be holding another in March 2013 and from then on every six months.
If you are interested in attending a future Innovative Schools Workshop you are welcome to send me an email email@example.com and we will keep you updated!

Next month I will be revealing our new cover with a stunning illustration by Colleen Dick and everything will be gearing up for the release of the new book. But for now, let me say that I don't think people have given much thought to what it is like to be a good parent and a pirate at the same time. No, it's not a joke. I'm perfectly serious.
Jean Laffite was a privateer, a liberator, a protector, a husband and a father. He had three children by his first wife and two by his last wife. And there may have been some other children born on the wrong side of the blanket, but I'm not writing about that.
|Jean Laffite and his second wife Emma Mortimore and their two sons, Jules and Glenn
painting by Manoel J. de Franca
Imagine being asked by your little boy why it is all right to pillage and loot. What would you answer? Would you say that you only go against evil empires, like Britain and Spain? Would you say that what you do is good, because the enemy is bad? Would you tell him that you treat women and children and the downtrodden with ultimate courtesy, but that the people you hurt deserve it? And if you said that, how much of it would you yourself believe?
Today on my Facebook feed, there was a discussion of Vikings. Apparently, the History Channel is running a series about Vikings. I have not seen it. I don't have cable. But people seem to be fascinated by the violence and the family dynamics of what they term "mafia-like" arrangements, and some of them are talking about having Viking ancestors, but at the same time saying that they were just farmers.
I don't want to make any statements about the life and morals of Vikings one way or another. But I do think that there's something that most of my acquaintances are overlooking about their own mode of making a living: almost all of them are a little like Vikings, except that there is a veneer of respectability that hides this fact.
"First do no harm." That is the mantra that most people adopt. But how many of us live by it? How many could explain to our children what we do for a living and why it is okay?
Take one of the most respected profession in the world: teachers. I have been a teacher myself, and I taught on the university level in Taiwan. But who or what paid for my fees? Even though I was working at private universities, did you know that the government of Taiwan had to authorize the universities to hire me as an assistant professor? There was so much red tape! And in the end I was issued a government document allowing me to teach . Behind all this was a complicated system that certified students, teachers and the validity of knowledge. And all at the point of a gun!
I'm not being critical of Taiwan, when I point this out. All the countries I've ever lived in and all the countries I have visited have had some such a system, if not on the university level, then certainly for elementary education. If your work is regulated by the government and funded by taxes or coerced payments, you, my friend, are a pirate!
If you are a teacher, chances are you are profiting from some combination of government coercion and expropriation. If you are an elementary or high school teacher in a United States public school system, then you are probably paid with tax dollars, even those taken from people who have no children. If you teach at a private school, you probably still received some kind of certification that said you were allowed to teach and somebody else could not. The mandatory education laws indirectly send money into the coffers of private institutions as well as public one.
I have been a lawyer. That, too, involved government certification by the State of Texas where I practiced. I was part of a state-run monopoly on the practice of law. Are you a doctor? A registered nurse? A social worker? An insurance agent? A farmer? There are government subsidies, government monopolies and government coercion involved in all those professions. People can't help being dragged into these things, because it's everywhere. If you are a retailer, chances are you are actively collecting sales taxes from your customers, because if you refuse, you will be shut down. We are all of us victims of piracy, but we are also willing participants. Where did your money come from? Are you sure it is clean? Would you walk the plank rather than join a government program that allows you to earn a living?
People revile welfare recipients, but they look the other way when the local grocer pockets the welfare recipient's money. It's almost impossible, in every line of business, not to somehow have gotten one's gain from someone else's illicit plunder. And even if you are clean yourself, the people you do business with are not, so that in some way we are all part of it.
"But I offer valuable services!" we may protest. "I work hard!" Doesn't everybody? "But the services I offer are needed. I help people!" Doesn't everyone?
Privateers help people, too, but they do so without leeching off the people they help. The good thing about privateers is that they do not plunder the people they are protecting. Unlike the local police officer and the military who serve us while living off our earnings without our consent, a privateer protects us from others by robbing others. Is it fair to those others? They probably don't think so. But at least it is honest.
And yet how do you explain that to a little boy? How do you teach him to respect others, not to steal or bully or abuse, when what you are doing yourself looks an awful lot like armed robbery? That's a big part of what "Theodosia and the Pirates: The War Against Spain" is all about.
So when you think of Vikings or your Viking ancestors, think of that!

Henderson 18-year-old dances her way top national honor
Paige Bremner may get nervous right before a show or competition, but the moment she hits the stage, she is lost in the dance routine. It was no different when she performed for judges at the Rainbow Nationals in Wisconsin on July 6.
Paige Bremner may get nervous right before a show or competition, but the moment she hits the stage, she is lost in the dance routine.
"You can just watch the music take over her," said Jane Maurer, Bremner's dance instructor.
It was no different when Bremner was performing for judges at the Rainbow Nationals in Wisconsin on July 6. Even though the stakes were higher, she decided to just focus on her dancing. As a result, Bremner, 18, won the Senior National Dancer of the Year at the competition.
"I was really excited," she said. "It was kind of a high."
The moment was nearly five years in the making. Before diving into dance, Bremner started out doing gymnastics.
"But sometimes it scared me," she said. "I never felt confident doing it."
She decided to switch to dance instead, and when she was 13, she joined Astudia Dance World, 270 E Horizon Drive.
"She was one of our first students," said Maurer, who owns the studio. She added it wasn't long before she noticed something about Bremner.
"She had passion," Maurer said. "She would light up when she got on stage. She belonged there."
Bremner spent time working through challenges, and by the studio's first recital a few months later, Maurer thought she was ready to start competing.
"She started in January (of 2011), and her first competition was February the following year," Maurer said. "That's a pretty quick turnaround. Usually (dancers) get a little more experience under their belt."
Bremner entered the world of dance competitions doing a variety of solo, duet, trio and group numbers.
"She's done about 30 competitions now," Maurer said.
With more competitions came more practices.
"I probably dance close to 18 hours per week," Bremner said.
Earlier this year, Bremner, along with some of the other girls from the dance studio, attended the regional qualifier for Rainbow Nationals.
"From there, she got an invite to nationals," Maurer said.
For the competition, Bremner prepared two more solo dances, one to the song "Can't Help Falling In Love." She said she always knew there was a chance she could win solo of the year.
"I think she really wanted it because it was her senior year," Maurer said of the Foothill High School student.
As the judges announced the finalists, Bremner's name was in the top six. She was inching closer to her goal.
When they finally announced her as the winner, she said she was surprised.
It was her solo to "Can't Help Falling In Love" that really shined for her, she said.
Maurer added that this is not only a great opportunity for Bremner but also a huge accomplishment for the studio. "Especially since how new we are," she said.
While Bremner might not know her future for competitions, she does know her future for dance: She was recently accepted into UNLV and will pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
"I would like to be a dance teacher some day," Bremner said.
That is a role she is somewhat preparing for, as she has been helping assist the younger students at her school.
"I like making connections with them," she said.

Natural Cure For Yeast Infection
by Sarah Summer
Cure Your Yeast Infection The All Natural Way has successfully challenged conventional treatments, helping thousands of people cure their yeast infection.
Author Sarah Summer offers only one guarantee: If the treatments in her ebook don't completely cure your yeast infection she'll refund 100% of your money.
Understanding The Natural Cure For Yeast Infection
A yeast infection in itself isn't harmful. It's when it takes on a mold form that you experience pain and discomfort.
The infection is a fungus that uses and feeds on its environment to grow and survive. In this case, once it's in your system, you become its environment and the pain you experience is it attacking and feeding on your system.
Your body responds by using natural defenses like bacteria and white blood cells. If your immune system is unable to defend itself, you need to seek additional help.
Using Drugs To Treat Yeast Infection
Drugs attack the yeast infection and everything else in their path including your natural immune system. Drugs weaken the infection while crippling your own defenses leaving you suseptable to further and continued illness.
As your immune system weakens the infection gains strength. That is why most over the counter drugs are ineffective.
Using Natural Remedies To Cure Yeast Infection
Sarah Summer's natural cure approaches the infection from a different perspective. It leaves your natural defenses intact and changes the infections environment.
You introduce food and treatments that weaken the infection without limiting your body's ability to fight off the infection on its own.
Your natural immune system and the all-natural treatments work together to fight off and eliminate the infection.
Basic Structure Of Sarah Summer's Guide
Sarah Summer's ebook doesn't follow traditional structure by first giving information about the illness then introducing treatments.
The book assumes you already know you have a yeast infection are in need of immediate care. Because of this the treatments and recomendations are at the very beginning of the book.
The basic structure of the book is as follows:
- Specific Treatment For Your Type Of Yeast Infection
- General Treatments And Suggestions
- Understanding How Yeast Infections Work
- Analysis Of Conventional Yeast Infection Treatments
Each section has specific topical and internal treatments and recommendations for each type of yeast infection.
Sarah Summer's Guarantee
Sarah Summer understands that no system is perfect and everyone will respond a little differently to natural remedies. She also understands this is a difficult time for you physically and mentally.
Her guarantee is this: If she can't help you cure your yeast infection with her guide or personal advice she'll refund 100% of your money.

Posted 1/15/14 (Wed)
By Neal A. Shipman
Farmer Editor
Saying that he is more comfortable on the street enforcing the law than sitting behind a desk and dealing with administrative work, Jesse Wellen, Watford City Police chief, has asked the Watford City City Council to find a replacement for him.
Wellen's surprise request came during the city council's Jan. 6 meeting.
"I don't enjoy administrative work," stated Wellen, who stepped into the police chief's duties on Jan. 11, 2013, following the resignation of Police Chief Slade Herfindahl. "I believe that my strengths in law enforcement are being on the street enforcing the laws and investigating crime."
According to Brent Sanford, Watford City mayor, he tried to encourage Wellen not to step down as police chief, but he understands the need to do what is right for him.
"We've got a very stable police department right now," stated Sanford. "And Jesse has done a very great job at being our police chief. He has worked very well with all of the officers in building a collaborative team and has the respect of other area and state law enforcement agencies."
Part of Wellen's rationale for wanting to step down as chief is he believes that the department needs someone in the position who has more experience.
"I've only been in law enforcement since 2011," states Wellen. "And our department is very young as well. Officer Dan Blood, who has six years of law enforcement experience, is our senior officer."
While Wellen looks to get away from administrative work, he still wants to be an active member of the Watford City Police Dept.
"I don't believe that I have the necessary law enforcement experience to be a police chief," states Wellen. "I don't have the skills necessary to lead the department. But I can be an asset by being on the street."
While the city council agreed to begin the process of seeking a new chief, Wellen says that he is willing to remain in the position until a replacement can be hired.
"I would like to be a part of the recruitment and hiring process," stated Wellen.
Following the council's approval last Monday to begin a search for a new police chief, Wellen says that he has started the process of advertising the position.
"Hopefully, we will find a good candidate who has the experience that we need to be our police chief," states Wellen.

A few tricks to making color last longer.
Posted in News on July 28th, 2011 by Reagan
Tags: conditioning, Hair Color, shampooing
It costs a lot of money to get your hair colored, so I thought Id share a few of my tips to keeping the color locked in. You know, so you can look hotter longer and get your moneys worth.
~First off, wait as long as possible to shampoo after a fresh color process. I got my hair colored last Thursday, and I waited until Tuesday to shampoo it again.
~Try to use cooler water on your hair. Warm or hot water will open the cuticle, making the color wash out quickly.
~Always use color safe shampoo/conditioner. This is especially important for you rich reds and brunettes. Most non-color safe shampoos will strip your color right out!
~Protect your hair when youre out and about. The sun will pull color out, so if youre out for long periods of time, its a good idea to wear a hat or a scarf.
My pink is almost already gone in just one shampoo! We knew when we did it that it would just last 2 or 3 washes, so Im willing to freeze my head in the shower so that I can have cool edgy hair for another week or two!

Rajiv Gandhi assassin Nalini Sriharan pens tell-all autobiography
| Updated On: 19 Nov 2016 12:44 PM GMT | Location :
In her autobiography, she has narrated horrific incidents of how she was abused during her 50-day ordeal in the custody of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) that probed the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case.
Nalini Sriharan, one of the seven convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, has penned a tell-all 500-page autobiography in Tamil that will be released on November 24.
Nalini, who has been in jail for more than 25 years now, was two months pregnant when she was arrested in connection with the May 21, 1991, assassination of Rajiv Gandhi. The longest serving woman prisoner in the world, Nalini is serving her life term along with the six others accused in the special prison for women in Vellore, Tamil Nadu.
In her autobiography, she has narrated horrific incidents of how she was abused during her 50-day ordeal in the custody of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) that probed the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case. She claims that she was disrobed, punched in the chest, asked to make love to her husband in front of others, threatened with
gang-rape by policemen, chained and kept in a 5 by 5 room for weeks.
She claimed that she had a hard time in prison when the M. Karunanidhi-led DMK was in power compared to the AIADMK under J. Jayalalithaa. She said jail officials were harsh on her under the DMK regime. In 2006, when the DMK returned to power, they threatened to arrest her daughter Harithra, who is now a doctor in London, if she was not sent to Sri Lanka.
Nalini is a sister of Bhagyanathan, a 25-year-old man from Chennai, was the LTTE's first local recruit. Then, Nalini used to work for a private firm as a secretary. Padma, her mother, was a nurse. Bhagyanathan's entire family was soon in the LTTE's trap, claims Rajiv Gandhi's biographer Minhaz Merchant in his book.
The plot to assassinate Rajiv Gandhi by the core group members of LTTE was finalised at Nalini's house. After the assassination, Nalini's brother and mother were arrested on June 11 but Nalini was on the run with Murugan only to get arrested on June 14 near Villupuram.
Nalini has always claimed that neither she nor her husband were aware of the assassination plot. In 2008 when Priyanka Gandhi met Nalini, she told Priyanka that she was a prisoner of circumstances.
A few years ago, Priyanka Gandhi had said that Gandhi family forgave Nalini and would be happy to see her released.

Get To Know A Mama: Ask Me Anything
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
Recently, I got an email from Chelsey over at The Paper Mama, asking me if I'd like to participate in a "Get To Know A Mama" sort of blog project. First of all, the fact that anybody wants me to participate in anything, flatters me to the point of near labor, and secondly, YES, of course I would!
So, this "Get To Know A Mama" thing, what is it? Oh, its basically, where she features a fellow Mama blogger, and y'all get to bombard them with questions that you've been dying to have answers to.
Ok so most of you probably don't have anything that you're dying to know, and have probably never even thought about asking me any personal questions up until now, but- go ahead, ask me anything.
Well wait, don't ask me here. Make sure to hop over to this post at The Paper Mama, and ask me there. I'm an open book, so don't be shy. Where was I born, first boy I kissed, my heaviest weight, how I discipline my children, did I have my teeth professionally filed down to look like vampire fangs- go for it. But you need to go for it by Wednesday, ok? Because thats when shes going to send me the questions (like I'm not going to be constantly checking her comments, though?).
And while you're over there, you should check out her weekly photo challenges. This weeks challenge is "sleepy", and I doubt a single one of you would be able to honestly deny the fact that pictures of sleeping babies are among the absolute most precious things on the planet.
I can't wait to see what you've got for me!

Saving energy at home: Heating and air conditioning
If you've added replacement windows and vinyl siding, and you're looking for more ways you can cut down your energy usage around the house, try following these simple tips provided by Adam Dachis of Lifehacker. Depending on where you live, you may be spending more on air conditioning or heat. Here in New England, we need both.
Keep your vents open, and clean. For central air and heat, many people think that closing vents to a seldom-used room will save money, but that's actually not the case. Closing vents will lead to increased energy usage. The vents have filters to keep debris from getting into your air flow, and these should be replaced monthly.
Improving the airflow of the home will benefit your energy bill and your health. When it's hot out, heat will escape your home in the highest spots since heat rises. Using a standing fan, you can position it to keep the air moving where you want it to go, like up high when it's warm out. When it's cold outside and you want to trap the heat, position the fans to push the heat lower, keeping more of it in your home. Fans don't cool the air off like some people think, they just move it around. However, using fans in this way can help promote better airflow throughout your home. Using a fan is also much cheaper than blasting the heat or air conditioning.
For the home's exterior, contractors, architects and homeowners can count on Mercury Excelum's quality products to help save energy throughout the year. Contact us for a brochure on all of our products.

Airline reservation agent & Travel agent
Cubana de Aviacion s.a.& Aerocaribbean S.A.
AIRLINE RESERVATIONS AGENTS book passengers on scheduled airline flights.In addition to making and
confirming reservations, their responsibilities include issuing tickets,
handling payments, and performing a variety of other tasks.After determining where and when the customer
wants to fly, agents type the required information and codes on the computer
terminal keyboard. The viewing screen above the keyboard quickly indicates
the space available, the flight numbers, and fares. If all flights are
full, agents may verify that space is available on other airlines flying to
the same destination and offer to make the reservation. For long trips
involving two or more carriers, agents at the first airline usually handle
reservations for the entire trip. To make the reservation, agents enter the
customer's name and flight data into the computer. They may also book hotel
reservations and arrange for car rentals. If and when the computer system
is down, agents use company manuals, official airline guides, and tariff
books to determine routing and fares and then record the reservations on
paper.agents either serving behind the ticket
counter or at the boarding gate. At the ticket counter, agents make and
confirm reservations using the same equipment and procedures as those used
by Reservations Agents. In addition, they issue tickets, by computer or by
hand, collect payments, and make change. They must record all tickets sold
and money exchanged and, at the end of the shift, prepare a daily cash
report. Passenger Service Agents also route and tag passengers' luggage for
shipment on the plane. When working at the boarding gate, agents check and
collect tickets, issue boarding passes, and sometimes assign seats. They
make sure that flight attendants know about (and have the equipment to
handle) special passengers' needs and requests; then they help these
passengers on or off the plane. They may announce arrivals and
departures, reschedule passengers when flights are canceled over the public
address system, or process routine claims. Agents at small airports may be
required to load and unload baggage and to conduct air freight business.

Woa, it's been a very busy week, with lots of "end-of-the year" parties at school for the children. They are so excited about the summer.
A little change here: I have a new FANTASTIC blog. So come and visit me:
I'll tell you more an other time, as I'm being assaulted by my girls, who went into my make-up drawer and are covering me (as I'm typing, I'm all about multitasking...) with bright colors! On paper, we're having trouble with staying within the lines, I'm afraid to look in a mirror after 7 coats of different flashy "rouge". I can feel the make up!!!! My hair has about 25 bows in it?!!
Come check my blog, if I'm brave I might even post a picture of my make-over....I'm told I look very fancy...

Carteret County Deputies are currently investigating a rumor that someone may show up to Croatan High School this morning armed with a gun. Although the rumor could be considered second or third hand information, it was posted to Facebook by a concerned parent.
This post has set off a negative chain of events causing false or misleading information to be posted causing additional concern. Although the post was based on rumor Carteret County Sheriffs officials are taking this matter seriously. Deputies are currently posted at Croatan High School, Bogue Sound Elementary, Broad Creek Middle, in addition to the School Resource Officers who are normally assigned to the other schools in the county. Deputies are also performing their daily school checks and providing extra patrol in the eastern part of the county. No Carteret County schools are on lockdown and deputies plan on being at the schools all day. At this time the rumor has been unsubstantiated.

I have finally finished my whitewater mitts. FINALLY. I am still debating adding ribbing to the thumbs. I think it might look and fit better. We'll see. I've started Chad's Koolhaas hat, and it's easier than it looks. I'm a bit worried that it's going to be too small around the circumference. We'll see if it fits him or not. I'm also starting my brother's hat.
Other than that, not much is up. Now I have to go, there is a pile of apples waiting for me, to be cut and baked into a yummy pie.

Office Furniture From Big Box Stores – Should I Buy?
We often get questions from customers asking what the difference is between a "Big Box" store where you can pickup a chair and the products that you can order from us at Office Furniture Concepts. The answer is: service. All lines that we offer are commercial grade office furniture, which are great for business, but can also be used in a personal setting. While it's easy to walk into a "Big Box" store and walk out with a chair, what happens if there's a problem? Items that are sold at these stores can break in as little as 5 months, but our products are built to last with warranties. When you purchase from Office Furniture Concepts, we will also handle any warranty claims and can provide you with replacement parts if needed.

Another day, another W for the Cubbies. After a hard fought victory Monday night, the off day on Tuesday looks to have helped, as the guys picked up a huge win last night, 9-2 over division rival Cincinnati. Lackey opened up the game by giving up a run on a sacrifice fly in the top
Series Review: Cubs vs Dbacks
After sweeping a 2 game set in Anaheim, the Cubs made their way back to Arizona to play 4 games against the Diamondbacks. We got to compete with this Arizona team quite a bit in the Cactus League, with mixed results. The Dbacks have some of the most talented players in all of baseball on their roster.
April 4: Cubs CRUSH LAA 9-0; Take Season Opener
If that isn't exactly what we're looking for, I don't know what is. Not even sure where to start, so I'll start by saying last night's win kind of made me feel like this… #MONEY But in all seriousness, this was a complete performance out of the Cubbies. Arrieta pitched 7 absolutely stellar innings, allowing
WATCH: "If You Feel Like You Can't Sit Still, You're Not Alone"
You're damn right we're excited! Here's a great hype video from the guys over at Sports Mockery, enjoy!
Opening Day Eve Thoughts
I just ate probably the best chimichanga I've ever had accompanied by this 32oz behemoth of a dos equis, and wanted to say a few words before Opening Day. I think from a personal perspective, this is one of the most anticipated seasons I can remember, for a few reasons. Obviously the fact that we

Have you ever heard of Dr. Scott Lively? Me neither, but he's a conservative Christian who leads a group called Defend the Family International. Dr. Lively has been branded a hatemonger by the Southern Poverty Law Center, so I figure he must be a Great American.
Friday, Dr. Lively and others held a press conference at the National Press Club in D.C. to announce the formation of the Coalition for Family Values, where they issued a press release "praising the Russian Federation for passing pro-family laws and encouraging other nations to follow suit." Needless to say, gay-rights groups were not happy about this, and the press conference was interrupted by hecklers.
It's time that the LGBT community forms a new organization that targets homophobes, bigots, religious zealots, religious fanatics, and all other assholes who are against equality, and human and civil rights for all people.
By targeting these bigots, and publishing every little detail of their sex lives, or personal lives, taking pictures through their windows, and getting the pics out on the internet, showing every little thing that they do, including how they wipe their asses when in the bathroom, or for that matter if they're wiping their asses in the kitchen — we've got to catch it on camera.
The time to just sit back and take it, are over with for the LGBT community. We need to get rid of bigots like these homophobic religious assholes, and if it means exposing every little thing about them, then that's what we need to do.
We need to start making their lives a living hell by constant observation and publishing pics and articles every time they fart, or spit, or even look cross-eyed. It's obvious these bigots only understand one thing, and that is persecution, discrimination and bigotry.
Here come the LGBT bigots, gonna prey on the religious zealots, fanatics, and bigots who think their shit don't stink, and think they can control everyone else's life.
Trending: Feinstein Guilty of Violation of Federal Act
"Eliminationist rhetoric," as Professor Reynolds would say. And what's the deal with disrupting a press conference? Wrote Lively of the sabotaged event:
The conference was briefly disrupted when three LGBT activists (one of them a non-English-speaking Russian) stood up to try to read a statement. We did not allow them to control the room, and asked the National Press Club security to remove them, which they did. Upon realizing that they would not be allowed to stay, the leader of the trio, Ellen Sturtz (self-described as an"Angry Old Lesbian" on her business card) began screaming "I'm a Homo-Fascist!" and tossed a wad of leaflets in the air. They turned out to be flyers with the title "Lively is Deadly" attempting to convey the message that I am a dangerous person who wants to harm homosexuals around the world.
There are multiple layers of irony here: Dr. Lively was supporting the suppression of pro-gay speech in Russia, while the protesters were suppressing anti-gay speech in America. My dangerous extremist idea? Let's stop suppressing speech.
Remember when what's-her-name, the actress, "came out" as lesbian at a conference last week? Did conservative Christians heckle her or disrupt her speech? I think not.
By the way, someone should tell Dr. Lively to stop calling these goons "homo-fascists." They're actually homo-Marxists.

text: I am currently going through a similar situation with my 19yr old daughter. She, cheats, lies and steals. In 1 year she has had 3 jobs. She has taken our credit cards and charged on them and I have even caught her with some of my checks that she has forged. I am at my wits end. If I do not get some help I will be going to jail for slapping some sense into her head. I remember growing up when my mother would give us good wiping. We had respect for her--not to mention we were also afraid to do anything wrong. I have never hit my daughter because I have always felt that talking to her was better, but it does not work with her. I want to put her out so bad but it would be very difficult for her to survive her--the cost of living is so expensive my husband and I find it difficult to live comfortably. I don\'t know what to do. I feel helpless. She says that she does not want to talk to a psychologist because they do not know anything. She said that she would rather die before she talks to another one. Sometimes I wish that she would end up in jail so that she realizes that what she is doing is serious. What can I do? I feel so helpless. Helpless

The Arctic Council
The Saami Council has a Permanent Participant status to the Arctic Council, together with five other indigenous peoples organizations. Indigenous peoples participate in the Arctic Council meetings by the same table as the governments. Read more about the Arctic Council on their website.
Arctic Council International Peoples Secretariat (IPS)
The Saami Council appoints one member of the board of the Arctic Council Indigenous Peoples Secretariat (IPS). The Saami Council has appointed Ellen Inga Turi as its representative in the IPS board for the period 2017-2019. You can read more about IPS on their website.
The Lásságámmi foundation
The Saami Council appoints one member of the board of the Lásságámmi foundation. Lásságámmi was established to commemorate Áillohaš, the Saami multi-artist. The Saami Council has appointed Niko Valkeapää as its representative in the Lásságámmi board. You can read more about Lásságámmi on their website.
Saami Parliamentary Council (SPR)
The Saami Council has observer status to the Saami Parliamentary Council, which is the cooperative body of the Saami Parliaments of Finland, Norway and Sweden. The Saami in Russia who are represented in the Saami Council have a permanent participation status in the SPR cooperation.
Barents Euro-Arctic Council Working Group of Indigenous Peoples (WGIP)
The Saami Council has observer status to the Barents Euro-Arctic Council Working Group of Indigenous Peoples (WGIP). The Barents cooperation is mainly a cooperation between the governments of the Barents region. The WGIP represents the indigenous peoples of the Barents region; the Nenets, the Saami and the Veps. The Saami are represented by the Saami Parliaments. The Komi people were approved as a new representative in 2002. The WGIP is represented in the Barents Euro-Arctic Council and in its committee of senior officials. You can read more about WGIP on their website.
UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)
The Saami Council has consultative status to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). The United Nations is - as the name states - a worldwide intergovernmental organization. In addition to governments, the UN has a system for NGO's (Non-governmental organizations) to be able participate in its processes. This consultative status gives a right to participate and affect widely in the UN system through meetings between peoples and governments.
The consultative status for NGO's is divided into three parts:
- Roster
- General
- Special
The Saami Council has the status as an NGO on the Roster of the UN ECOSOC.
It is possible to participate on the UN indigenous peoples meetings without consultative status. Hundreds of indigenous peoples' representatives and their organizations participate in central UN indigenous peoples gatherings, but they cannot participate as widely in the UN system as the organizations that have a consultative status.

The Ferrari 458 Speciale is the cream of the road-going crop for the 458 model line. Maranello engineers tacked on all sorts of motorsport-oriented goodies to make it better than ever and even more of a show-stopper on the street. But this Ferrari 458 Speciale however, is in a league of its own thanks to a new set of Brixton Forged CM16 Targa Series wheels.
After working with the owner of this Ferrari 458 Speciale, Brixton Forged was able to build a newly-designed version of their CM16 Targa Series forged wheels. The three-piece 6061-T6 forged aluminum alloy feature a rolled step-lip design and a concave shape that adds a powerful, complex aesthetic to the 458 Speciale, especially with the classic spoke design.
On the featured Ferrari 458 Speciale, the Brixton Forged CM16 Targa Series wheels are equipped with lightweight backpad pockets that help to reduce rotating mass even further while hidden hardware lends to a cleaner aesthetic. Each wheel also boasts a 120-grit brushed single tint face and lip with the former wearing a matte clear finish and the latter a gloss clear finish. A special Ferrari Nart stripe detail is also on display in the center of the CM16 Targa Series wheels.
This clean Ferrari 458 Speciale wears the Brixton Forged CM16 Targa Series wheels in a staggered 9.5 x 21 front and 12.5 x 22 rear setup, adding to the wedge-shaped profile of the Italian exotic. If there was ever a surgical track tool with an imposing presence, it's this Ferrari 458 Speciale with Brixton Forged CM16 Targa Series wheels.

I wanted to use some of the planes I painted last year, especially my DH2 scratch-builds, so I based the game around them.
Summer 1916. After dominating the skies for months, the reign of the Fokker monoplanes is coming to an end, as the Allies begin to put their own fighter aircraft into the skies. A flight of Roland CIIs are on a reconnaissance mission to gather information about British troop movements. They are being stalked by a flight of British DH2 scouts, plus a lone patrolling DH2. A couple of Fokker EIIIs are also roaming the area.
Here's the Rolands. In the distance you can see three troop concentrations. The Germans had to spot and report at least one of them to their high command, or the British got a big victory point bonus.
A flight of DH2s. And a cloud.
A lone Fokker EIII. We used spotting in this game, and this plane spent the first third of it patrolling, oblivious to the dogfight going on not far away.
The DH2s close in on the Rolands after spotting them early on.
A lone DH2 flies into a cloud. Both sides had a lone aircraft who got heavy weighting on the pilot's skill roll in favour of them being an Ace. In a foreshadowing of Geoff's rolls for the rest of the game, he managed to get an Inexperienced lone plane. Like the Fokker, this pilot missed out on most of the battle because he never saw it.
A dogfight begins, although the Germans push towards the objectives. They troop concentrations were made up of bases from my hair-roller WW1 armies.
One of the Fokkers joins the fight. A good job, as by this stage a Roland had been shot down.
The fight breaks up a little.
The Fokker pursues a DH2, and shoots it down.
One of the Rolands observes a troop formation. Now all it has to do is get the information home.
The lone, inexperienced DH2 pilot finally spots something, and sets off in pursuit. But he failed to stop the Roland escaping, and soon had to deal with the other Fokker, who also noticed that something was happening.
The British has an Ace in their DH2 flight. He downed one Roland, after I stupidly stuck to trying to observe British troops instead of fighting off a rear attack, and then went after a second. The German took refuge in a cloud.
And exciting head-on gunfight. No damage inflicted, but it looked good.
I seem to have lost a photo here. The British Ace chased the Roland out of the cloud, but a Fokker came to the rescue. Under fire from two German planes the Ace found himself in an impossible position, and was shot down.
By this stage the British had lost three of their DH2s. Only the lone rookie remained, and he was in a difficult position. Fortunately one of the Fokkers suffered a gun jam. Unfortunately so did the rookie. Geoff conceded the game at this stage, and the Germans sportingly let the British pilot go.
Two Rolands had been shot down. But the one who had observed troops got back with the information. This Roland overflew a concentration, but failed to gather sufficient information to pick up any victory points. With time running out (the game was played to a turn limit) it headed for home. The British scored points for any two-seater that didn't get off the board by the end of the game.
I enjoyed the game, anyway. The final results saw the Germans win a fairly decisive victory, reporting one troop concentration and shooting down three enemy planes. The British shot down two German planes.
On the other table there were larger planes in action.
This was Ralph and Caesar playing Battlegroup Kursk. There were lots of lovely 20mm figures in play.
Caesar's Germans were attempting to take a Russian-held village. They had numerical superiority, but were up against the clock, and couldn't quite co-ordinate their various assets to achieve victory.
Next week I think we're playing Black Powder again.

It is the day of one of the state mandated standardized tests. I am not an enthusiast of this particularly unscrupulous practice. My major issue is with any system of evaluation America's schools are required to participate in. In my state, the amount of funding a school receives is directly relational to the school wide scores on these educational interruptions. I call them interruptions because that is exactly what they are. Take today, for instance. My small school only has thirty-three students. We tested approximately six. The rest got to play games or goof off while these six struggled through a math exam most probably not the correct grade level for them. Most of our students are either Special Ed, or behind in some manner. The younger children all have developmental impediments which limit their ability to succeed at such tests.
I remember the year they put together a State Committee to address this situation. At the time, there were no educators appointed to this community. Its population consisted of captains of local industry, a few preachers, and one billionaire. No teachers, or principals, or so much as a secretary for a school. The result of their committee work developed a Bottom Line for education which read like a Profit and Loss statement instead of a realistic paradigm for getting the children of our state to make better grades. In order to accomplish their lofty goals they, being better capitalists then educationalists, felt that money is the root of all that is good and fine and as such required schools to perform for them if they wanted money to buy books and other seemingly non-essential items for their schools. We would probably do better with teenage car washes and/or legions of organ grinders with monkeys to support our educational system.
What is it about America that views financial success as a harbinger of enhanced intelligence? Why do we believe that everything is a purchasable commodity?
I experienced something when I became a teacher. Kids want to learn. I have received that miracle a teacher receives when you say something and you can see the light go on in a student's eye telling you that what they just saw, or heard, is something they will remember. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, I feel valuable. I know that this value I feel is mine without effort. The very fact of my humanity gives me all that I need in order to know I am worthwhile. Seeing a child actually show amazement is such a gift. Watching them play video games is a disappointment. I realize that I am not going to grab their little hearts and minds by forcing them all to love classic literature as I do. I realize that the only thing I can really do to fend off this feeling of uselessness is to make sure that the only games available will be of some social importance, or educational at some level.
As to the standardized test...I guess I'll just live with it. It is not like I am liable to be appointed to a state committee or anything. After all, I am educator. I'm also not rich. Go figure.
