Christmas in Krabi/
This Christmas, Andrew and I decided to combine a Christmas vacation with our "babymoon" (last trip as a childless couple!) to Krabi province in southern Thailand. Although we've been to a few different islands in Thailand (Koh Chang and Koh Mak), we've never been to southern Thailand, which is renowned for its beaches. We may not have another opportunity to head down there for a long time, so we took the plunge and planned our trip.
We picked Krabi for a few different reasons. As I mentioned, it's in southern Thailand, and we wanted to see if it lived up to its hype (it did). Also, Air Asia is an Asian-based discount airline company that has incredibly cheap flights. Although we waited one day too long to buy the cheapest tickets, we could have bought round trip flights for $50 each from Bangkok to Krabi - definitely preferable to riding in a bus for 14+ hours to get down there! And I've always wanted to visit this area and see the famous sea karats (rock formations) that dot the landscape.
Our flight landed in Krabi Town, the provincial capital, late Saturday night before Christmas, and after a night at a cheap guesthouse (Ban To Guesthouse), we made the thirty-minute drive by public truck transport to Ao Nang Beach. It only costs 50 baht per person ($1.50 at today's exchange rate) and was easy to find, hanging out in front of the 7-11 on the main street in town.
We decided to stay on Ao Nang Beach, the most popular beach in the area. We splurged and got a hotel right across the street from the beach (Sea Star House) because at 7 months pregnant, I didn't want to be traipsing up and down the hill to get to the ocean. And it was definitely worth it. Ao Nang is very touristy, with lots of shops selling cheap knick-knacks, Western restaurants, and overweight Europeans in speedos (or topless). Luckily, most of those went out to the islands during the day, and Ao Nang beach was pretty relaxed, clean, and peaceful.
And every night, we were treated to the most amazing sunsets. It really did look like the travel photos.
Most people don't stay on Ao Nang Beach the entire time, and on Christmas Day, we went to check out a few other beaches reachable only by long-tail wooden boats. Railay Beach isn't actually an island, but because of the rock mountains separating it from Ao Nang, you have to go by boat. Luckily it's pretty cheap - 100 baht ($3.00) one way - and only takes around 20-30 minutes to get there.
Railay is really beautiful, but the beach was absolutely crowded with people enjoying a sunny Christmas Day. (Note - there are actually two Railay Beaches - east and west. The west beach is much better; the east is muddy and ugly, and not actually swimmable.)
We spent some time swimming and hanging out in the sun, then walked through the resorts across the peninsula to the other popular spot, Phra Nang Cave Beach. Phra Nang really is a beach with a cave - lots of rock formations you can swim beneath and clamber up on. The beach itself is tiny, and it was difficult to find a place to put our stuff. But the water was clear and deep - almost chest-deep within a few feet of going into the water. Lucky for me, I'm convinced that pregnant women float better - at least I felt like it was easier to swim with my big belly, instead of more difficult!
For Christmas dinner, Andrew treated us to grilled seafood at a popular restaurant. It's the first time I've ever had lobster for my Christmas meal, but it was so good, and definitely a special memory we won't forget.
Our last day at Ao Nang, we went on a snorkeling trip with a local scuba company, Scuba Addicts. Andrew and I love to snorkel, and Krabi has some amazing fish and coral reefs close to the beach. And I applaud the company for not being afraid to take out a 30-week-pregnant woman and letting her have one last hurrah!
We also learned a trick for keeping our snorkel masks from fogging up - spit in the mask, wipe it out, and you're good to go. A little gross, but it really does work.
Almost as soon as we dropped into the water, we were surrounded by hundreds of fish - so many different kinds and colors. I'm no aquamarine expert, but it was probably the best snorkeling I've ever done. There were also several scuba divers in our group, and it was really interesting to see them setting up their gear and going under. I would love to learn to scuba dive, but that may be a few years away for me...
Instead of going straight back to Bangkok, we spent an afternoon and night back in Krabi Town - and I'm so glad we did. Krabi is a more traditional Thai fishing town, but still had lots of funky cafes, shops, and several fascinating night markets. The shopping is much better in Krabi, so if you're looking at traveling through, you might think about stopping for at least a night.
The most popular night market is Krabi Walking Street, near the downtown, and is only open Friday - Sunday evenings. Luckily we were there Friday night and spent the evening trying out grilled squid, mushroom soup, ice cream shakes, and Thai sticky desserts. Andrew signed me up for karaoke on this massive stage, and about 300 people got to hear a shaky but passionate rendition of "The Power of Love". We also found a small both where you could paint your own batik for about sixty cents - the cheapest fun I've had in a long time!
I am so, so, so thankful that God gave us the time and money to take a week off, rest, and explore his creation in a new part of the world. It was refreshing to spend mornings journaling, reading, resting at the beach, then resting at the hotel, and seeing God's creative handiwork every night at sunset.
Being at the ocean is restorative - the waves, the soft sand, the warm damp air, feeling like every stress and care falls off along with your heavy clothes and anything else you realize is nonessential. I really hope that we can take our children to the beach on vacation and let them discover the joy of the ocean for themselves someday - an experience neither Andrew nor I ever had growing up.
I guess that's one of the casualties of growing up in Kansas that we are definitely rectifying now.

Plant Fossils
Because scientists can determine the age of rocks in which fossils occur, plant fossils provide a picture of the steady progression of plant life-forms from simple to complex. By studying the changes recorded in fossils, paleobotanists have been able to trace much of the evolutionary development of plants, though many evolutionary changes are still poorly understood.
There are three types of plant fossils. The first, impressions and molds, are formed when fine sediment settles around…

These blocks are simple to learn and perform. They are essentially devoid of complications and can nicely complement major conduction blocks of the lower extremity.1,2 The combination of their applicability and {simplicity} mandate that these blocks should be in the armamentarium of every anesthesiologist. ++ Indications & Contraindications ++ Cutaneous nerve blocks of the lower extremity can be used to anesthetize patients for a variety of surgical procedures. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block has been used to provide anesthesia for pediatric patients undergoing muscle biopsy3 and to provide analgesia after femoral neck surgery in older patients.4,5 The posterior femoral cutaneous nerve block is used for any surgical procedure performed on the posterior aspect of the thigh.6 The saphenous, sural, and superficial peroneal nerve blocks can be used as part of an ankle block to provide complete anesthesia to the foot and ankle, or they can be used separately to provide anesthesia to specific portions of the foot and ankle. These blocks can be used for a variety of foot and ankle procedures. ++ The contraindications to performing cutaneous nerve blocks of the lower extremity are few, but include local infection at the sites of needle insertion, preexisting central or peripheral nervous systems disorders, and allergy to local anesthetic. ++ Functional Anatomy ++ The cutaneous nerves of the extremities are blocked by injection of local anesthetic in the subcutaneous layers above the muscle fascia. The subcutaneous tissue contains a variable amount of fat, superficial nerves, and vessels. Deep into this area lies a tough membranous layer, deep fascia of the lower extremity enclosing muscles of the leg. Deep fascia is penetrated by numerous superficial nerves and vessels. ++ The cutaneous innervation of the lower extremity is accomplished by nerves that are part of the lumbar and sciatic plexuses (Figures 40–1 and 40–2). The largest cutaneous nerves are the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve, the saphenous nerve, the sural nerve, and the superficial peroneal nerve.

Changing lanes in a large truck requires a driver's full attention because of the need to monitor large blind spots on the sides of the truck and the space in front of the truck. Changing lanes too often or not following proper procedure can lead to accidents.
Lane change accident reduction techniques include:
- Ensure your mirrors are adjusted properly.
- Limit lane changes. Get into the lane you need to be in and stay there.
- Maintain a constantspeed so you do not have to change lanes to pass other vehicles as often.
- Change lanes well in advance of the required location so you are not forced to make an aggressive lane change at the last minute.
- Conduct regular mirror checks every three to five seconds.
- Know what vehicles are in the space around yours. If a vehicle was visible and now is not, you must assume the vehicle is in your blind spot and, therefore, should not make a lane change until you can determine the vehicle is no longer beside your vehicle.
- Signal your intentions to change lanes early to communicate with other drivers well in advance of your need to change lanes.
- Verify that no vehicles have moved into the space you intend to occupy a second time just before making the change.
When changing lanes, do it safely. Common lane change hazards include:
- Not concentrating on the task at hand. Do not perform any distracting activities such as eating, reaching, changing radio stations, talking on a cell phone, etc.
- Following the car in front of you too closely. In-crease your following distance to provide a margin of safety while checking your mirrors and blind spots. Rear-end collisions often occur when a driver is concentrating on the traffic to the side and back of him or her, and not on the traffic ahead.
- Not adequately clearing your blind spots. Drivers should monitor other vehicles closely to ensure they have moved through blind spots. A trick to observe blind spots is to shift your head and body to view your mirrors at a different angle.
- Not ensuring there is adequate room in the lane you are moving into. If your lane change causes others to have to slow down or maneuver, you do not have enough space. Waitfor a larger opening.

I am researching about tracking polar bears . People track polar bears to know what kind of food its eating or if it gained weight or not . They can even find out if the polar bear they tracked is in danger . They track polar bears by tattooing there teeth .
Where are they tracked ? The polar bears are tracked in the vast white desert of the arctic ocean . They track polar bears at the vast white desert of the arctic ocean because thats where most polar bears are found .
Why should we care ? We should care because a lot of polar bears are getting extinct and are in danger .
Glen haven can tell people how important it is to tattoo a polar bear . We can also tell them the reason why we should tattoo the polar bears and more stuff like where to tattoo it and the benefits of tattooing the polar bear .
This my project about tracking polar bears and why its important to track them . I hope you liked my project .

How Do You Buy a New or Used Buick Verano?
Driving is an experience, which means any old Verano in Lowell won't do. You want to buy the one that's right for your everyday life. That means looking into all your options, comparing prices, and choosing between a new or used Buick Verano. But how do you decide?
Preparing to Buy a Used Buick Verano in Lowell
Start by researching, especially if you want to buy a used Verano. Read reviews by other drivers and auto industry experts, then compare safety ratings, performance, MPG, features and prices. For a used Buick Verano, pay special attention to the vehicle's interior wear, mileage and history. Some may still be eligible for certain warranties—a huge bonus for you!
Buying a New Buick Verano in Lowell
When buying a new Verano, consider any available warranties and options for customization. Buying new could be the right choice for you if you're looking for a rare color, a special interior package or unique accessories.
Prequalifying Makes Buying Easier
Apart from your personal preferences, understanding your financing options can also help you decide between a new or used Buick Verano, as well as whether leasing or buying is right for you. Get started by applying for financing online through GM Financial. Complete your auto loan application online and find out if you prequalify for a competitive rate, and gear up to buy the Buick Verano you want in Lowell. Or, explore your leasing options. Stop by your nearest dealer and fill out a lease application!
*A retail installment contract that allows a customer to purchase a vehicle from an auto dealership. This contract is then sold or assigned by the dealership to GM Financial.

Topic: Impact of Blockchain and GDPR (EU Privacy Regulation) within the Life Sciences Industry
Speakers: Maria Palombini and Mark Steinhoff
Blockchain adoption within the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain is moving faster than you think. IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) commissioned a one-of-a-kind independent research study to examine the State of Blockchain Adoption on the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain. Maria Palombini of IEEE-SA will give an update on the report offering detailed insights on unresolved financial, regulator, policy, and protocol issues while unraveling the expectations and commitments of partners when participating on a blockchain-driven pharmaceutical supply chain.
The deadline for compliance with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is set for May 25, 2018. The regulation may require substantial changes to the ways in which your organization handles personal information of EU residents. Failure to address the GDPR's requirements are significant and could result in fines of up to 4% of worldwide turnover. Mark Steinhoff of Deloitte will discuss the pending requirements and final steps you should take in the countdown to May 2018 and answer questions to help you assess your organizations preparedness and exposure for GDPR.
MARIA PALOMBINI, MBA, Director, Emerging Communities & Initiatives Development, Global Business Strategy & Intelligence, IEEE Standards Association
Maria is the creator, leader and advocate for the Pharma Blockchain Initiative, which seeks to bring awareness and balanced learning to the pharmaceutical community and its key stakeholders on the viable applications of blockchain within the pharmaceutical framework. The goal of the initiative is advance adoption of blockchain in combination with emerging technologies (ie. AI, IoT, etc) where it will lead to enhanced patient safety and care, and optimize and innovate drug development.
In 2017, Maria joined IEEE-SA with a directive to build communities and advance initiatives to develop standards for enterprise adoption of emerging technologies. Her work includes building communities of technologists, industry executives, academic researchers and industry stakeholders to educate on the benefits and challenges of viable applications of emerging technologies, while building consensus on recommendations for frameworks on technical standards and recommended guidelines for protocol and policies to enhance the outcomes of technology implementation. Her primary areas of focus include the pharma, health, supply chain, energy, and agriculture sectors. In parallel to her work in blockchain standards, she is the project lead for IEEE-SA's newest initiative, Digital Inclusion through Trust and Agency, a critical program focused on bringing the outstanding 50% of the world's population online while working with technologists, advocacy groups and policy leaders on developing trusted frameworks that will protect the digital persona, the right to be forgotten, and restoring dignity to digital transactions for ALL members of the global community.
Maria currently holds an MBA from the Rutgers Graduate School of Business and a BA and BS from Rutgers College at Rutgers University, the State University of New Jersey. She is an accomplished leader and public speaker having presented at various industry events. You can follow her on twitter @DisruptiveRx or on https://www.linkedin.com/in/mpalombini/.

I noticed this too. But what I think is ALSO interesting is that NEITHER KERRY OR NADER tested the voting machines on their own BEFORE THE ELECTION although the machines were proven to be compromised and easily hacked into. If you were running for the presidency and heard that the machines were fixed... wouldn't you be making a stink during your campaign? But if you are part of the 'fix', you wait until AFTER the election when it is more difficult to turn the results around... and THEN start balking... then you look as if you too, were concerned.

The best thing about brows is that they frame your face and make your features stand out. When they are too thin, you look wash-out. But if that's the case don't despair! You can draw them back in.
1) Hold the sharpened end of a brow pencil vertically against the bridge of your nose and over your nostril to find the starting point for your brow. Next, pivot the pencil so that it rests against the outer edge of your nostril and extends past the outer corner of your eye to mark where the tail should stop.
2) Beginning at the tail end, use a sharpened pencil to create small feather-like strokes that start at the underside of your brow and extend up and out in the direction of your temple. Blend well and use a lighter color until you get the hang of it.
3) You can lock in your shape with a little hair spray to set by just combing them up with a little brush. If that doesn't work they way you like them, there are a number of great eyebrow lining kits at your local drug store.

Beleaguered French presidential candidate Francois Fillon has urged supporters to fight on, in a speech to a mass rally in Paris.
He told tens of thousands of supporters, many waving tricolour flags, that he would be cleared over allegations he paid his wife and children for work they did not do.
The rally is seen as a crucial test of his popularity.
Calls are growing for him to quit and senior allies have left his campaign.
And just before the rally Christian Estrosi, a close ally of former President Nicolas Sarkozy, told BFM TV that senior Republicans would propose an alternative candidate in the coming hours.
However, he said it was important "not to humiliate" Mr Fillon and allow him a "dignified" way out.
Mr Fillon has seen his popularity slip in opinion polls.
The Republican party will hold crisis talks on the candidacy on Monday.
But in a rousing speech to supporters in driving rain, Mr Fillon urged his supporters not to give up the fight and thanked them for their support.
Referring to his opponents, he said: "They think I'm alone, they want me to be alone. Are we alone? Thank you for your presence."
He said he would be exonerated when an impending criminal investigation got under way, and it would be the turn of his accusers to feel ashamed.

A CAPTIVE LION: The Life of Marina Tsvetayeva. By Elaine Feinstein. 289 pages. Illustrated. E. P. Dutton. $19.95.
SELECTED POEMS OF MARINA TSVETAYEVA. Translated by Elaine Feinstein, with literal versions provided by Angela Livingstone, Simon Franklin, Valentina Coe, Vera Traill, Jana Howlett and Bernard Comrie. 108 pages.
E. P. Dutton. Paperback. $12.95.
IN 1961, near the end of her life, Anna Akhmatova wrote a poem entitled ''There Are Four of Us,'' meaning four great Russian poets who had continued to bear witness through the ravages of modern Russian history: Akhmatova herself, Osip Mandelstam, Boris Pasternak and Marina Tsvetayeva. Of the four, Tsvetayeva must be the least well known in the West, and although there have been one or two previous studies, which Elaine Feinstein duly acknowledges, her biography, ''A Captive Lion,'' will probably provide most readers with their first introduction to the life of a remarkable woman.
Tsvetayeva was born in Moscow in 1892. Her father was an art historian and the director of a museum, but it was her mother, who died when she was 13, who overshadowed her early years, ruthlessly though unsuccessfully setting out to make Marina the concert pianist that she had hoped to be herself, ridiculing her early poems and discouraging her love of reading.
''After a mother like that,'' Tsvetayeva wrote, ''I had only one alternative: to become a poet.'' By the time she was 18 she had already published a collection of poems, some of them written when she was only 15, and her gifts were soon recognized by contemporaries. She married young, too - at 19, to the diffident, dreamy Sergei Efron (always known as Seryozha), who was a year younger, and who was to remain the weaker partner throughout their marriage.Continue reading the main story
After an idyllic year or two, the couple found their lives disrupted by World War I and then by civil war. Neither of them welcomed the Bolshevik Revolution. Seryozha went off to fight with the Whites, and they lost contact; Tsvetayeva, remaining in Moscow, worked as a filing clerk and endured great hardships, including the loss of the younger of her two daughters, who had been sent - temporarily, it was supposed - to a state orphanage, where she died of hunger.
In 1914, Tsvetayeva became passionately involved with a writer called Sofiya Parnok: for six months they lived together openly as a couple. Subsequently, she had a love affair with Osip Mandelstam, and there were other full-blast relationships with both men and women. But the emotional bonds with Seryozha remained unbroken, and in 1922, not long after she had learned that he was still alive, she decided to join him in exile - first in Berlin, then in Prague, and from 1925 onward in Paris.
Her years abroad were marked by a constant struggle to support the family, since Seryozha earned virtually nothing. She gave birth to a son, in whom she began to invest most of her maternal feelings (at the expense of her surviving daughter, Alya); she also continued to throw herself into relationships that were no less intense when they were conducted by letter, as they were with Pasternak and Rilke.
Rilke, who had never actually met her, backed away nervously when their correspondence took a fiery turn, and it is easy enough to see why. She could be voracious and unappeasable in her emotional demands, and harsh, too; you sometimes feel that if she hadn't been a great poet, she would have been impossible. But it is a meaningless ''if.''
The last years were a descent into unrelieved tragedy. In 1937 it emerged that Seryozha had been working for the Soviet secret police, and that he had been at least peripherally involved in the murder of a Soviet defector. He hurried back to Moscow, where Alya, who shared his Communist sympathies, had returned earlier the same year; Tsvetayeva, left behind, was increasingly shunned by her fellow emigres, and in the summer of 1939 she decided to return to the Soviet Union herself, taking her son with her.
In Moscow, she soon found herself more isolated than ever. Alya, who was pregnant, was arrested and sentenced to 15 years, losing her baby in prison as a result of savage beatings. Shortly afterward, Seryozha was arrested in turn (and subsequently shot).
With the German invasion of the Soviet Union, Tsvetayeva's situation grew even worse - she was suspected, grotesque though it may seem, of being a potential spy. She also had to come to terms with the fact that her adored son was growing up sullen and hostile. In August 1941, she took refuge in a small provincial town. She was refused work by the local Writers' Union, even kitchen work, and one Sunday morning, after a final quarrel with her son the day before, she hanged herself.
Grim though its story is, ''A Captive Lion'' is never oppressive. Thanks to a combination of shrewd analysis and imaginative sympathy, Ms. Feinstein succeeds admirably in suggesting Tsvetayeva's moral stature and the power of her personality. She does justice to her idiosyncrasies, too, and she quotes generously from her letters, which are aflame with life, and marvelously intelligent when they are not overwrought.
Ms. Feinstein, who is a poet herself, began translating Tsvetayeva's poems 20 years ago, working with collaborators who had prepared literal English versions. Her ''Selected Poems of Marina Tsvetayeva,'' which was originally published in 1971, and which has now been reissued in an enlarged edition, can be read with great pleasure on its own account - although ''pleasure'' seems rather a weak word, given the force of the feelings that the poems express. If you want to sample them, begin at the beginning, with a poem that Tsvetayeva wrote when she was only 22, a poem in which she reminds the reader that Soon all of us will sleep under the earth, we Who never let each other sleep above it.Continue reading the main story

TOLEDO, Ohio – Rocky River had its win streak snapped at four Tuesday, as the Pirates fell, 6-3, to the Knights of St. Francis de Sales High School. In a three-act play of sorts, the Men in Maroon fell behind early, battled back to a mid-game tie and then faltered late against a quality foe that figures to play a significant role come state playoff time.
The Pirates (4-2) were a minus-11 in the game's turnover battle, committing 25 miscues to the Knights' 14. And special teams loomed large – Rocky River went 0-for-3 on a trio of extra-man opportunities; St. Francis went 2-for-2. One of those man-up goals came in a decisive third period that saw the Knights (4-2) outscore the Pirates, 3-0.
For the game, the program that ousted River from the 2016 state tournament and went on to finish as the Division II runner-up outshot the Pirates, 36-25. The Knights put 12 shots on goal to River's 10.
The Pirates ceded a two-goal lead to the Knights in a lackluster first quarter that saw the visitors from Rocky River fail to establish much of a presence on offense. The score would remain 2-0 until Jack Aerni found the back of the St. Francis net at 7:39 in the second. Michael Malloy followed Aerni five-and-a-half minutes later when he whistled a lefty missile past the Knights netminder. The two sides went into halftime having split four goals down the middle.
The Knights pulled ahead, 3-2, early in the third and then went up by two (4-2) with their second extra-man goal of the afternoon. St. Francis would score once more in the third and head into the final stanza leading, 5-2. The Knights and Pirates traded lone goals in the fourth, with senior attackman Aaron Kosmerl keeping a now-six game goal-scoring streak alive.
Throughout the contest, Rocky River struggled in transition. River had 12 failed clears in the game and numerous turnovers shortly after successful clears.
One area of strength for the Pirates continues to be the team's defense. The Knights went into Tuesday's windswept affair averaging 10.4 goals per game. Their half-dozen goals against Rocky River mark a season low. Junior defenseman Ben FitzGibbon had a big game for the back-liners. FitzGibbon logged six ground balls and four caused turnovers. Max Kovesdy added three ground balls and a pair of caused turnovers. Titus Snavely racked up five ground balls.
The Pirates are slated to continue their season on Thursday when they play host to the Kenston Bombers (7 p.m. opening faceoff after a 5 p.m. JV contest).
FREQUENT FOE: The Pirates have now met the Knights 16 times since the inception of the Rocky River program in 2005. That makes St. Francis the Pirates' most frequent foe (River has played Bay Village 12 times). With Tuesday's loss, the Pirates are now 6-8 against the Knights.
A-OK: With his fourth-quarter goal in Toledo, Aaron Kosmerl now has eight goals on the season. Kosmerl leads the team with 15 points (8g, 7a).# # # PIRATES # # #

Product File for Rainforest Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner:
- Works for: dry and damaged hair
- 250 ml
- Contains no silicones, sulphates, parabens or colorants.
At the start, I wrinkled my nose at the smell. Now, a lot of people might disagree and like it but I wasn't that convinced of the smell. But I tried to give the shampoo and conditioner a chance, so I kept trying them. After a while, I really started disliking the smell and I can't bring myself to use both the shampoo and the conditioner at the same time. I feel like the smell is in my hair wherever I go and I really don't want that. It's very overwhelming for me, especially because I'm sensitive to smells.
I know that perfumes can trigger allergic reactions in people, but I doubt that's the case if they TRIED to use natural smells? Like lemon or orange zets?...
Oh yes, I forgot to mention how it smelt like. It smells of tea. This is a smell that I recognize everywhere I go and I have disliked it since I was a kid. I remember the first time I smelt it was in an Elizabeth Arden Green Tea perfume.
I noticed how DRY my hair became once I used the shampoo. It did not feel clean AT ALL and became very VERY coarse. The conditioner didn't help.
Shampoo SwatchThe consistency reminds me of honey, but much more runny than that. It has also the same color of honey.
Conditioner SwatchIt has the same consistency of every type of conditioner. It's a bit like mousse but thicker and less foamy and more like a cream. It's much harder to get any type of lather from the conditioner. The worst part? It's incredibly hard to get the conditioner out of the bottle...
I have 75% left of the shampoo in the bottle and I have used half the bottle of the conditoner. And I really have trouble using both of them because of how useless they are to my hair. I feel like they have made my hair condition worse and my hair only improves when I use something else. I'm equally glad that I bought the smaller pot of the hair butter from the same range because it smells just as awfull and is too greasy for my liking. Clearly I won't repurchase these products from this line again.

Man charged with assaulting girl faces new charges
Man charged with assaulting girl faces new charges
A Davenport man charged with raping an 11-year-old girl faces new charges involving attacks on other girls 20 years ago.
The Quad-City Times reports Lorenzo Howard, 48, was arrested Dec. 13 and charged with multiple sexual abuse counts in the case of the 11-year-old girl.
Police say the girl reported that Howard raped her five times from September 2012 through November 2013. She said the attacks occurred when she visited an aunt.
Police say that during the course of their investigation, they found two other women who said Howard had sexually abused them in 1994, when they were 4 and 7 years old.
Howard is being held on $70,000 cash bail and could not be reached Saturday for comment.

FORT COLLINS — The evidence in a criminal allegation against Loveland Police Detective Brian Koopman will be shared with the defense team in a separate case, a district court judge ruled Monday morning. The detective's personnel files and internal investigation, however, will not be shared.
Stanley Romanek, a 52-year-old Loveland man charged with distribution and possession of child pornography, appeared in court on bond Monday morning as his defense attorneys argued for access to Koopman's department personnel files and internal investigation materials.
Elizabeth McClintock, one of Romanek's attorneys, said the defense team is looking for impeachment information regarding Koopman.
Koopman led the search and investigation of the Romanek's home after a Homeland Security agent downloaded incriminating files being shared from the Romanek's home IP address on Ash Avenue.
Romanek's lawyers were seeking the information to target testimony against Koopman in front of a jury.
"It is our understanding that in two separate instances Detective Koopman has been accused of violating the constitutional rights of two separate criminal defendants," McClintock said. "We believe that information is relative to those matters contained in (Koopman's) criminal investigation file. That is why we are seeking it, we believe it is relevant in this case because the primary issue that will be raised in trial in Mr. Romanek's case will be if his constitutional rights were violated and were violated specifically by Detective Koopman."
"In terms of relevance to this case, it concerns me that the primary rationale I've heard from the defense council today is to determine whether their client's constitutional rights have been violated," Joshua Ritter, district attorney, said. "... That's not what this trial is going to be all about; if it's not a decision for the jury to make it wouldn't be relevant to present to a jury."
He said the question to the jury, in this case, is whether Romanek possessed and distributed pornographic material of children.
Judge Daniel Kaup said the facts in the personnel and internal investigation files are not relevant to Romanek's case.
"I think the court would be overstepping its legal authority ... to draw that conclusion," Kaup said. "... I don't dispute that there's information out there. The question is that is it factually relevant in this case, so that the court should allow you to further explore that information in the personnel file."
He denied the defense's request for access to the detective's internal investigation and personnel files.
Koopman then took the stand to address concerns around an issue of Miranda rights in regards to law enforcement officials searching Romanek's home in April of 2013.
However, Kaup ruled, Romanek was not taken into custody at that point and was therefore not subject to Miranda rights.
In a testimony from March, Koopman said incriminating files were being shared publicly to the world using a peer-to-peer file sharing program called Limewire, and that an officer on the case said one of the computer's hardware had been wiped clean with a downloadable program.
It was also discussed in court on Monday that a Homeland Security agent secured evidence of incriminating files being shared from Romanek's IP address in 2008 and 2009.
Ritter said this testimony will illustrate to the jury this unusual file sharing was not an accident, as it has happened multiple times.
That agent's testimony during trial will depend on whether attorneys on both sides are able to contact him in a timely matter.
Romanek, a known UFO expert, alleges a space organization was harassing him and putting "disgusting things" on his computer because of the work he was doing.
Romanek will appear for another motions hearing regarding impeachment of Koopman before his jury trial at 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 16.

U.S. Rep. Walter Jones and other congressmen want South Atlantic red snapper fishery reopened
The representatives said data produced by a Florida research institution shows the South Atlantic red snapper stock is healthier than what federal data indicates so the fishery should be reopened to commercial and recreational fishing. The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries program, announced the South Atlantic red snapper season is closed this year because the total number of red snapper removed from the population in 2015 exceeded the allowable level, according to the NOAA Fisheries website. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, a subsidiary of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, has data that shows the red snapper stock is healthier than the federal data indicates. "Unfortunately, reports indicate these data are not being considered as 'best available science' and, therefore, are at risk of being excluded from the (South Atlantic Fishery Management) Council's deliberations," Jones and his colleagues said in a letter to NOAA Administrator Kathryn Sullivan.

My time in Dubai was incredible but, at the same time, I know that there's been some negativity in the news recently regarding the poor working conditions and the lack of democracy in the UAE etc etc. In that sense, I think it's important to address that there are problems still to be solved here (as there are in every country!) but the tourist side of life in Dubai is simply fantastic and I want to share my experience with you guys!
Now I can safely say that of all the hotels I've ever stayed in, this one was the most extravagant. I mean, the entire bathroom was marble… MARBLE! I truly felt like royalty at the Jumeriah Zabeel Saray, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious break in Dubai. Quick tip though, book at off peak times otherwise the prices are extortionate. We went during August which was a KILLER temperature-wise and also happened to be in the midst of Ramadan, but I don't regret a thing: I got an awesome tan and I got to experience a major cultural tradition, bonus!
We visited all the major attractions: the souks, the museums, the malls, the Burj Khalifa and the Burj Al Arab, but I have to say the best day was the one spent in Wild Wadi water park. We were actually having SO much fun that none of us even thought to take a photo! But despite not having any visual memories of this day, I'll never forget the image of my parents trying to get out of a duo rubber ring…
The malls were insane here, which made for lots of happy Manjunath's because it's a well known fact that we LOVE to shop. In one mall, there was even a theme park. I decided to ride the roller coaster thinking that it wouldn't be too extreme, but I was mistaken… it was ridiculously fast and I was so impressed that they could build something like that inside of a mall! There was huge ice skating rinks, bowling alleys, cinemas and even a waterfall. The arabs sure know how to push the boat out!
Overall, our stay in Dubai was a special one. We splurged on luxury, and it was completely worth it! Plus there was a 'Cheesecake Factory' in the mall and our family life aim is to visit them all: Dubai just had to be done!

This month's issue of the monthly executive brief providing M&A market insight for C-level management and their professional advisors.
Firms in architecture, engineering, and environmental consulting (A/E industry) are a breed all their own.
M&A outlook. Private equity firms continue to express interest in the A/E sector, either with "platform" opportunities or bolt-on deals. So far, 2014 has been a mixed bag on overall A/E M&A activity. However, there have been more "mega combinations" announced of larger global and national A/E organizations joining forces for size and breadth. The number has decreased, but the scale has been more sizable than last year.
Latest transaction data. The latest version of an ongoing study examines over 200 actual stock transactions in the A/E industry. These include transactions by and between employee-owners (including redemptions of stock by the company and the sale of newly issued stock from treasury), employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) transactions, and mergers/acquisitions. The stock transaction data are in three distinct groups: (1) minority interests in privately held firms; (2) minority interests in publicly traded firms; and (3) controlling interests in privately held firms.
The study includes valuation multiples that represent transactions of minority interests in privately held stock over the last three years. It reveals that there is a fair degree of consistency in valuation multiples between the various types of firms responding to the survey. For example, the median enterprise value as a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, and owners' bonuses were: 4.43x for architecture and A/E firms, 5.14x for environmental consulting firms and 5.65x for engineering and E/A firms, with a median for awaste disposal. According to First Research, the Canadian business services sector consists of about 100,000 companies with combined annual sales of more than $40ll firms surveyed of 5.35x (see Exhibit 1 above).

Ahh the oversized jean jacket. I have full respect for a wardrobe item that can stand the test of time and span across all seasons. To wear it well, this jacket should look as though it was yanked from the 90s, or your boyfriend's wardrobe, dusted off and tossed straight across bare shoulders.
Wear it straight up or with patches like blogger Elle Ferguson if you prefer your clothes with a little flare. It's on my shopping list!

Thank you. Your inquiry has been received.
The building was originally built in 1984 by the owner of the famous Manuel`s Original El Tepeyac Mexican Cafe restaurant located just to the north as a drive through facility. By the time it was completed the City had decided they didn`t want a drive-thru restaurant in such close proximity to the school and church across the street. As a result it has never been open.

Hi I am new to this site so apologies in advance for long post. I had stage 1c ovarian cancer and was operated on I. May when they removed three large masses, this was gollowed in June with full hysterectomy, both ovaries removed, appendectomy and two sets of lymph nodes. They took biopsies from my one gum which came back clear. I had six cycles of chemo Carboplatin and had CT scan pre Christmas and was assuming my meeting with my oncologist today I would be given the all clear. Unfortunately he gave me the news that my bloods came back at 67 which is higher than pre first surgery which had been 54. I am floored. He is referring me for a PET Sscan and started talking about radiotherapy, chemo and possible surgery etc. I want it to be a false positive but even though bloods can be wrong I felt he was assuming the worst when I want to put this behind me and get on with my life. I am 43 and have two young children aged 4 and 2 and about to get divorced!
Should I go to my GP and get a pee test to check not a urine infection? Had Ui previously as bladder difficult to empty post surgery. Any other infections that can push up blood count markers?
Many thanks in advance ladies

As part of racing's plan to broaden its appeal to a wider audience, stewards' inquiries are to be televised live for the first time in the sport's history in Britain at this week's Derby meeting at Epsom (4-5 June).
Cameras will be allowed behind the scenes into the stewards' room, where jockeys explain their riding and a decision on the race's outcome is made, to give the public an insight into the process and making inquiries more open and dramatic.
If feedback is good from jockeys and the public, the televised inquiries could become a regular feature of bigger meetings in the future.
The idea is part of Racing for Change's scheme to attract a larger and more diverse crowd to the sport.

Science, Art, Litt, Science based Art & Science Communication
A lady who recently lost her young grand daughter sent me a message. The message went like this:
" I stopped believing in God when we lost our beloved grand daughter. She was so young and about to give birth to her baby in about a weak. She - along with the foetus in her womb - was killed in a freak accident. God, if he really is there, had no mercy. Why should he take away our beloved child from us at this stage? If he wants to take her, why did he give her to us in the first place? Why did he make her pregnant? After presenting with so many gifts, he suddenly snatched everything that belonged to us. He is so unkind!"
I felt very sorry for the lady. It is easy to get highly emotional under such circumstances.
But the first thoughts that came to me after reading her message were "Your child?" "Who is yours?" " Is anything in this universe yours?" " The words 'I, me and mine' are meaningless here!"
You might be surprised to hear these words from me. They might sound bitter but they are true, hundred percent. My art work Universal Philosophy says...
When I was reading Hindu religious books sometime back, I found a striking resemblance between description of God in those books & energy in Laws of Conservation of Energy. In a world where there is clash between science & religion, I thought, there is one area that can bring harmony between the two. According to some religious books God is in the form of a very bright light-without a beginning or an end-filling the whole space in the universe. Goddess Adishakti (adi=beginning, shakti=energy) is one of the first formed Gods & Goddesses in this universe. It is said that Shakti is the power & energy with which the universe is created, preserved, destroyed & recreated by the Hindu Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu & Shiva. Science says there was only energy in the beginning.
My painting starts with Adishakti- who was described as a female in the religious books. Then I painted big bang- formation of the universe- transformation of energy into mass- birth of galaxies & stars- transformation of mass & energy from one form (body) to another- Sun, one of the stars, and the earth-& things that happen on earth-some of the energy and atomic cycles.
My article science-tries-to-strengthen-your-minds-permanently-by-making-you- realize reality says ...
We all came from star dust and energy. And go to it again. In never ending cycles, each atom of our bodies goes to other forms, including the living ones both while we are still living and after our deaths. Atoms from other bodies come to us. There will be atoms that have been inside a living cell that started 3.5 billion years ago on our planet and are still in living cells today. Matter will be turned into energy and energy into mass. We belong to everything and everything belongs to us! A group of cells composed of atoms and energy in our brains makes us conscious with their work. It is the reason why we think, feel emotions including pain. But can't we channel that consciousness into realizing reality and face it with courage? We can, certainly!
We all belong to one universe. We were born here as a result of coming together of a few atoms and some energy and the resultant consciousness. In the end we will return to the place where we came from. The bits and energy our bodies are made of will be returned to the universe for the recycling process to continue. .
In the process we meet some forms like us who too came together with the help of atoms and energy and consciousness, who we call relatives and friends and inanimate things like our houses, cars, money etc. which we think are ours. They are ours only till we are here as conscious beings. Realize this. They are actually owned by the universe we came from, not us. And go back to it! That is the eternal truth!
Yes, our beloved ones who departed from us will still be there in the configuration of scattered particles and energy in this universe. But not in the conscious shapes we interacted with during their life times. We will never meet them again in those appearances we are familiar with once they die. We can only see them in our dreams as our brains try to comfort us by showing their pictures. That is all.
After our deaths and destruction we too return back to the universe as individual atoms and energy, to the one body that recycles them and we all belong to whether we lived with our conscious bodies or existed as inanimate forms.
It is wonderful to think we all belong to one body, the universe, that processes and reprocesses atoms and energy into different configurations, bring them together in space and time, and then change the situations again to bring in new scenes of appearances. Nobody is going anywhere here and nothing is staying here forever in one form! So no one is departing from this universe, the atoms and energy we are made of are leaving only one form and from the site we are in but still be here in other arrangements and other spots in this one entity we call universe. That is what science tells us. Isn't it comforting too to think about the truth?
Another article of mine science-s-rules-are-unyielding-they-will-not-be-bent-for-anybody- or anything
stresses this too ...
Science and its universal rules don't work like people want them to. And these rules will not be bent in any way for anybody or anything. Even if you pray perfectly and practice priest-prescribed procedures. Your unrealistic wishes of bending Scientific rules with magical powers will never come true! Science will surrender to only science. Nothing else!
A heart beats only if it has the right conditions and sustainable bio-chemical reactions and electric pulses. A doctor's duty is just to see that these correct conditions are maintained. He will do everything that his knowledge in this regard tells him to do. But if things don't fit exactly into the rules of Science, the heart must stop working. Nothing can change it. No matter what you do outside can make it work!
Similarly a living body that has all the wrong working conditions cannot sustain for long. It has to cease to exist unless intervention takes place following scientific rules. Medical practitioners and their scientific training will have the role to do it in the way it should be done. Still if things don't fall in exact places, a body following biological rules, will stick to its predetermined course. Realize this and stay calm. Don't get emotional, become angry on doctors, attack them, or blame God.
When several factors decide outcomes, they follow the interplay of scientific rules and routes and exactly fit into the reaction realities. You have to register this in your mind to come out of the misery you are in. Watch it coolly and try to understand it. How a person survives a health condition or a catastrophe or a bad situation depends on the sum total outcomes of scientific factors occurring simultaneously. Other outside things have no effect whatsoever on it. Any connections you make between rituals/superstitions and the outcomes depend on your perceptions and experiences. A positive outcome either to you or others makes you stick with them. A negative result will make you attack them. But the net result doesn't depend on anything that is not related to it! And these unrelated factors are your beliefs, rituals, superstitions and myths.
So I told this lady, ''According to science - when your grand child was born, she didn't know about her future. She was born to live and propagate like any other life form. Then she got pregnant like any living being that reproduces in its youth. Her foetus or womb don't know that they would not last. But when the accident happened by chance, the life system in her body could not be supported by the heavy internal bleeding. It ceased to exist. That is quite normal. Everything went according to scientific rules. The picture is very clear. The atoms in her body and energy has been returned to the universe.
God has nothing to do with it.
There isn't anything you can call 'your's' in this universe. Some mass and energy were given temporarily to become 'your grandchild'. When life couldn't sustain in her body because of the disruption due to the accident, what was given to you has to be returned to the universe, the place from where it came. That mass and energy what you called your grandchild is still there in other forms. They didn't go anywhere. If you have 'universal eyes' you can still see them.
We are fooling ourselves! Are we accepting as fact what is actually an illusion about what or who we actually are? Perhaps we actually are a mere product of trillions of mechanisms, and we are not the special force or substance that we have convinced ourselves we are. Maybe there is no magic that produces our consciousness, just a complex multilayered ecosystem of chemical processes as we now know biological life to be. This is a temporary gift to us from the universe.
Realize this reality and peace will return to your disturbed mind.

A Comedy of Errors
Peggy looked everywhere for her jeans. As usual, she couldn't find them. She was pretty sure she had kept them on her shelf. Her Dad often teased her saying, "You're just like your Mom". Sighing, she thought, "let me look in Mom's room", only to see her Mom searching frantically for something. "Oh Mom," she said." I've got your genes". Triumphantly, her Mom handed her her jeans and said, "And I've got yours".
Laughing, Peggy took the jeans from her Mom and said, "I meant genes Mom. Not Jeans" and hugged her.
She went off to get dressed. They were to leave in half an hour
She went back to her Mom's room to check if she was ready and overheard a conversation that stopped her in her tracks. Tears were streaming from her Mom's eyes. "What? You mean dyed? Oh no!" Peggy quietly left the room.
She saw her Dad waiting in the living room, going through the day's mail. "Dad" she said. "Mom's crying. She's so upset. I think she has had some bad news."
Worried, Dad and daughter looked at each other. "What shall we do?" asked Peggy. "It sounded like someone died and Mom could barely talk. She sounded so incoherent"
"This is so unexpected", said Peggy's Dad. "I don't want her to slip into her depression. Look, here's what we'll do. Remember we planned on going away for a weekend to the hills? Maybe we should do that now" Peggy thought it was a great idea. A change of scene would do her Mom good. Being together would make her happy, without the routine interruptions from phone calls and other stuff. "You are right, Dad." I'll call the travel agent now."
Peggy was on the phone, talking to the travel agent, finalizing the booking, when she looked up to see her Mom enter the room, looking gorgeous as usual. Surprised, she requested the agent to hold for a minute and asked her Mom, "Are you okay, Mom?" She saw her Mom dab at her eyes, ineffectively trying to stop the tears and say, "Hey you guys, can you believe Mona dyes her hair?".
Stunned, Peggy and her Dad looked at each other. Peggy's expression turned sheepish. Talk about a comedy of errors! She had assumed die when her Mom had actually been laughing her head off at "dye".
Yes, they did go off on that weekend trip, if you are wondering. They had a great time.
Prompt used:
She said ____. He mistook it to be ____.
The words used in the blanks have to rhyme and your post should revolve around the confusion thus created as a result of the miscommunication.

Maybe what you're talking about is "optimizing." I learned about this from Olympus.net. That orwellian word is how CenturyLink describes an automatic system that detects instability in a DSL line and switches it to a lower speed--without notifying the customer. For example, twice earlier this year, we got switched to 1024/512. That speed, the maximum reported by the DSL router, didn't change until I did an online chat with tech support and they removed the "optimization." We could easily notice the degradation in overall usability. Commonly, users get set to 640/256.frogging, flogging, flugging
The point is that service calls--even online chats, I suspect--because of the modem dropping DSL and needing to be power cycled costs CenturyLink money. Many customers don't even notice that their top speed is less than they're paying for.
You can log into your DSL modem by using this URL: 192.168.0.1. (That usually works.) Click on Modem Status, then WAN status. You can then read your current speed and look down the list for retrains. That means the modem lost the DSL signal and had to reacquire it. Any more than 3 or 4 will show in red. Sometimes a modem will retrain on its own. Other times, you'll see no DSL light. Or you'll see a DSL light and no Internet light. Power cycling the modem may bring service back. If you can log into the modem with 192.168.0.1, you can use Utilities to restart the modem. If not, unplug its power cable, wait 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
Now, we're "optimized" at 640/256. While the retrains have dropped to around 4 per day, down from the worst days at 2 per hour, our overall usability is terrible. Supposedly, our bill has been adjusted, but we haven't seen that in reality.
If you're having the problems I describe above, I urge you to start an internet technical/repair chat and complain. You'll probably have to convince them that your DSL modem isn't connected wrong, etc. but if you don't get satisfaction, here's how to escalate: http://qc.centurylink.com/residential/c ... quest.html
BTW, while it's possible for a DSL modem to go bad, it's rare. It's also possible for telephone wiring--which DSL uses--to develop problems. But it's also possible that CenturyLink is cutting corners to add more customers without investing in the needed infrastructure.
This kind of thing is happening in our neighborhood.

The Gift – The Chronicles of Tucker Littlefield by Tegon Maus
Printed Book
This novel is told from the perspective of Tucker Littlefield, who, before threatened into an affair which does not involve him, is a fairly ordinary man. But he has a knack and reputation for being self-interested. It is one such act of "selfish heroism," which traps him in what seems an unfair situation. In attempt to win the king's gratitude, Littlefield pulls Elizabeth, the king's seven-year-old niece, into safety during an attack by the Jonda. Even so, the Jonda manage to escape with child.
It is Eloise, Elizabeth's fierce but emotional nanny, who threatens Littlefield into bringing the child back to safety. Although she knows the man only by reputation, she is desperate and believes he will be able to do the job. Along with Enon – an insightful Jonda who struggles with speaking common – two other Jonda, Bowen and Spath, and Enon's dog, Littlefield sets out to rescue the girl. But it is no easy road which twists ahead. Littlefield and his companions face not only the hardships of their differences, but the power of outside forces working against them.
There isn't an instant of inaction in this piece. Around every corner, under every stone, in every pit, there something exciting and unexpected lurking. Just when Maus has his readers believing that everything is going to be all right, the antagonist's trump card is played, throwing us into a whole new series of vicious, riveting battles that have us wincing and crying right along with the characters
