UPDATE 1-Wal-Mart beats janitors' appeal on immigration, lockups
* Wal-Mart says expects contractors to comply with laws (Adds Wal-Mart comment, paragraph 12)
NEW YORK, March 15 U.S. consumer sentiment tumbled to its lowest in over a year in early March as more Americans were dissatisfied with government economic policies and fewer expected to see improvements in growth or the labor market, a survey released on Friday showed.
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's preliminary reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment dropped to 71.8 from 77.6 in February, confounding expectations for a slightly higher reading of 78. It was the lowest level since December 2011.
Across-the-board government spending cuts of $85 billion went into effect at the beginning of the month after U.S. lawmakers failed to come to a deal on government finances.
A record 34 percent of respondents made unfavorable references to government economic policies, beating January's prior record of 31 percent.
"The frustrations expressed by consumers essentially involve how little consideration has been given to how the government's inability to reach a compromise affects people's economic situation," survey director Richard Curtin said in a statement.
The barometer of current economic conditions fell to 87.5 from 89, while the gauge of consumer expectations tumbled to 61.7 from 70.2, its weakest since November 2011.
Thirty percent of consumers expected the pace of economic growth would worsen in the coming year, up from 22 percent the previous month, while 38 percent expected the unemployment rate to increase, up from 27 percent.
Consumers were also more pessimistic about the outlook for their own finances, with just 20 percent expecting their situation to improve this year, a record low for the survey.
Still, the damage to buying plans has so far been minimal, the survey found. The index of buying conditions for durable goods eased just slightly to 139 from 140. Financial markets saw little reaction to the data.
The one-year inflation expectation held steady at 3.3 percent and the five-to-10-year inflation outlook edged down to 2.9 percent from 3 percent.

Richard Sherman: Redskins Name Shows NFL Wouldn't Ban Sterling
Sherman was asked interview with Time magazine what he thought would have happened to Sterling had he been an NFL owner when his controversial remarks surfaced. He said that, unlike NBA commissioner Adam Silver, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell wouldn't have banned Sterling for life.
"No I don't," Sherman said. "Because we have an NFL team called the Redskins. I don't think the NFL really is as concerned as they show. The NFL is more of a bottom line league. If it doesn't affect their bottom line, they're not as concerned."
Sherman, is known for a nationally televised rant after the Seahawks won a playoff game in January.
Sterling, the owner of Los Angeles Clippers, was banned for life from the NBA for racist comments caught on audio and published by TMZ. The audio was of Sterling telling his girlfriend to not bring black people to Clippers games.

Will there be an end times temple in Jerusalem?
Question: "Will there be an end times temple in Jerusalem?"
Answer: The Bible mentions that some end-times events will occur in a temple in Jerusalem (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15). Second Thessalonians 2:4, speaking of the Antichrist, tells us, "He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God." The Prophet Ezekiel described a temple that has as of yet never existed (Ezekiel chapters 40-48).Before the end times can occur, a temple must be present for these events to occur in.
There is still the "small" problem of the Islamic Dome of the Rock mosque being on the site where the Jewish temple is supposed to be. Muslims believe this is the place from which Mohammed ascended into heaven, making it the most sacred of Muslim shrines. For the Jews to take over this place and build a temple upon it would be unthinkable in today's political climate. But during the tribulation, the building of the Temple will come about, protected by the Antichrist (Daniel 9:24-27).
When we see the Temple being constructed, we can be sure the end times are indeed upon us. The Antichrist will be reigning, the Church will already have been raptured, and the first half of the tribulation will have passed. But there will still be time for people to come to Christ for salvation.

text: At Least Konami UK Listens To Their FansJason Schreier9/05/13 5:30pmFiled to: suikodenkonamikotakucore903EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Konami US has been depressingly quiet about the prospects of making Suikoden more accessible to modern gamers, but at least the company's UK branch is showing their best franchise some love. Today on the Konami UK blog there's a big post about Suikoden, written by the folks at the Suikoden Revival Movement. Progress! It's a good post and you can check it out here. Konami's intro: Advertisement Advertisement We love our communities, and often find ourselves overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, passion and creativity shown off by fans of our many game series.One such group is the increasingly popular Suikoden Revival Movement that forms a base which fans of the classic Suikoden RPG games can discuss the past, present and future of the series whilst also showing off some truly epic fan-art and cosplay. The main aim of the movement however is to bring Suikoden back into the consciousness of the wider gaming community so that a wider audience can celebrate the game.Although the last Suikoden game was released in the UK way back in 2006, the group still strives to achieve their goal posting regular articles and holding frequent competitons for members to engage with. As such, we decided to give them the floor to explain why Suikoden is so close to their hearts, why it stands out among other games and why it should be offered to a much wider audience. Below is how they responded.And you can read the whole thing on Konami's blog.Of course, Suikoden still isn't on PSN in Europe, Suikoden II still isn't on PSN anywhere, and the most recent Suikoden spinoff is never coming to the United States. But hey, at least Konami UK remembers that the series exists. With the US branch, all we get is... a tweet. About Metal Gear Solid. Bummer.Reply90 repliesLeave a reply

It wasn't about misspelled giveaway jerseys or a controversial trip to Yankee Stadium on Wednesday. Troy Tulowitzki's focus was solely on the business, and more specifically what his current employer, the Colorado Rockies, need to do to regain relevancy and become competitive again in the NL West.
In an interview with the Denver Post, Tulowitzki made it clear that he doesn't intend to force the Rockies hand on a trade — although recent actions in New York may have hinted otherwise — but he feels like now is definitely the time for significant changes as the Rockies free fall into their fourth straight losing season.
"I think that's why I came out numerous times and said I want to win," Tulowitzki said. "It doesn't mean I want out of here. It means I'm sick and tired of losing.
"Something needs to change. Hopefully that comes fairly quickly. You can't force it. But at the same time, we're all frustrated with this year — especially me."
He also added.
"That lineup we featured in April, and some of our pitchers being healthy, was good enough to win," Tulowitzki said. "But things kind of fell apart and fell apart quickly.
"But you look at the Red Sox and the things they did, they're kind of the model team. They blew things up and then next year they're right back in contention. So hopefully we can do a little bit of that."
Tulowitzki is in an interesting spot as the guy ownership clearly views as their flagship player and face of the franchise. On one hand, they're in no hurry to trade him, which means he's probably stuck in the situation for at least another season. That's barring an offer that blows the Rockies away during the offseason, but based on their expectations in trade talks for role players in July, that offer might not realistically exist.
On the other hand, if one voice can influence some changes, it might be Tulowitzki's since he's held in such high regard. Given his position, he really has nothing to lose by voicing his opinion and seeing how things proceed.
The issue there, as many who follow the Rockies will point out, is that people being preached to about change are at the root of the problem. Before progress can be made, there will likely need to be change at the ownership level. Principle owner Dick Monfort has been reluctant to make significant changes in his front office and seems to get offended at the mere suggestion. And even if those changes did finally come, there's little confidence Monfort could lead a competent search to find replacements at key positions.
So Tulowitzki's reality, at least for now, is that he's stuck in baseball purgatory. To Monfort, it actually makes more sense to keep Tulowitzki, because he feels like his departure could be a public relations nightmare. There's no clear exit for him there. And as wonderful as a quick Red Sox-like turnaround sounds, it's just not that simple for Colorado. They have nice pieces in Tulowitzki, Carlos Gonzalez and Nolan Arenado to rebuild around, but they don't have a Jon Lester anchoring their rotation and they don't have the financial flexibility or minor-league prospects to make it work without trading from that core.
Which brings us to the ultimate reality. The roster rebuild Colorado needs actually starts with trading Troy Tulowitzki. Gonzalez, too, probably. They are where the biggest returns and most financial flexibility come from. But if or when those days come, they can't afford to miss on either deal, and very few in Colorado will feel comfortable if it's general manager Dan O'Dowd or director of major league operations Bill Geivett making those calls with Monfort looking over their shoulder.

R.I.P. MCA Adam Yauch
While primarily a hip-hop group, the Beastie Boys never shied away from embracing the stylings of metal from time to time. The contributions they made to music as a whole is staggering as the blurred as what could be done with music as they openly embraced many, many different styles. Most importantly when they came out they sought to bridge the race gap in hip hop as 3 three small white New Yorkers garnered fans from all races and making race a non-issue in their music. Their positive lyrics and upbeat attitude was and still tons of fun along with their timeless music.
After being diagnosed with cancer in 2009, one of the founders of the Beastie Boys, MCA Adam Yauch, lost his battle today. His positive energy will live on forever in his music and he will never be forgotten for what he has done with music and also as a humanitarian in general. Off the stage he was a big supporter of many charities often using his star power to raise money for the less fortunate. Thank You Sir MCA Adam Yauch, may your rest in peace.

Product Info
This large and heavy blade is used to split bones.
A cleaver relives the demanding task of getting through bones, so that your chef's knife will last far longer - and not break! Designed to be pummeled and to pummel - every kitchen needs one. Blade width is 4 mm and the forged and stamped knives come with ergonomic handles.
All knife measurements are for the blade only, not the handle.
Each Wusthof knife is drop forged from a single piece of chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel for maximum strength, balance and heft. This specialised high-carbon, stain resistant alloy ensures that the cutting edge of the knife is razor sharp and also easy to resharpen. A computer controlled grinding and polishing of the blade also ensures there is perfect tapering from bolster to tip.
The full tang knife is beautifully sandwiched by a synthetic, ergonomic handle that's been triple riveted for durability yet still retains its stylish looks and smoothness. The perfectly weighted full bolster gives the knife its heft and protects your fingers too.
If you value your tools we recommend that, after each use, you wash your knives with warm water and a little detergent, rinse carefully and dry with a towel. Corrosive food particles will not affect your blade if washed off directly after use.

The Wizards and Grizzlies both were out of sync on offense for most of the night, but the Grizzlies found a little more consistency down the stretch in fending off the Wizards in Memphis, 85-76.
The game started off well for the Wizards, as they scored 30 points and shot over 60% in the first quarter against the Grizzlies' number one ranked defense in the NBA. The Wizards would end the first quarter on a 7-0 run to go up by seven. The second quarter though was a different story as the Wizards offense started to struggle. Washington went almost eight minutes without a point and only managed 10 in the second quarter but still managed to take a one point lead into the half, thanks to holding the Grizzlies to just 39 points. John Wall missed time in the second quarter with a strained shoulder but returned by the start of the second half. The second half though did not see the Wizards offense get on track, as they would score just 36 points over the rest of the game and fall to the Grizzlies by nine.
Neither team shot the ball or took care of the ball well in this one, as both teams shot under 45% and the Grizzlies committed 19 turnovers and the Wizards committed 16. The Grizzlies controlled the boards though, outrebounding the Wizards 46-31. The Wizards were also hurt by their inability to get to the free throw line, only attempting three free throws in the game.
Nene led the Wizards in this one with 14 points, six assists and four rebounds. John Wall chipped in nine points, seven rebounds and six assists despite the missed time due to injury. The Grizzlies had five in double figures led by Mike Conley's 18 points, Marc Gasol's 13 points and 15 rebounds and Tayshaun Prince's 14 points in his first game with Memphis.
The Wizards will conclude their road trip on Saturday, taking on the Spurs in San Antonio. Tip-off is at 8:30.

Randy Wittman Postgame On the second quarter:
"I think we missed 13-straight shots, which were all perimeter shots. We stopped throwing the ball to the side and you have to know the feel of the game. If things aren't going a certain way, you have to then combat that. I thought we went away from playing inside-out and just took perimeter shots. That hurt us." |
John Wall Postgame On his injury:
"I was scared. 'I can't catch a break' was all I was thinking. I went back out there and played. I could still feel the pain, but I just tried to play through it and help my team out as much as possible. I just hoped it wasn't anything serious so that I could keep playing for the rest of the season." |
Nene Postgame
On Grizzlies:
"They are still a good team. I said to Zach (Randolph) that they are still a good team. They have the base with Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and Tony Allen. They are still good. With Tayshaun Prince, they are going to add a lot of experience to this team too." |

Let's check out Lisa's gorgeous card for today!
I completely adore this. I would frame this card! I just love it! She combined Lawn Fawn's Petite Florals with Girls Paperie paper for the perfect feminine touch. Using the xoxoxo sentiment from Sophie's Sentiments adds that bit of whimsy that is so Lisa!
How fun are these felt flowers?! I love them! This is such a cool way to combine stamping and felt! To make the flowers Lisa cut strips of felt, rolled it and gave the felt a twist every now and then to create a petal. Then she attached it to the card above a stamped stem. I know I can't wait to try this! I love how they match the Petite Florals flowers so perfectly! Also, we must take a minute to admire Lisa's coloring. Ahhhh. So beautiful. The way she combines Copics and colored pencils is just brilliant!
I hope you had fun seeing another way to incorporate felt into your stamping! Make sure to head on over to the Hero Arts blog to see what's going on over there!
And, I just can't help myself! Let's do another giveaway! How does Petite Florals sound? :)
Just leave us a comment by Wednesday at 11:59PM EDT telling us if you have ever made your own flower embellishments, and we will pick a random winner!

My aunt did an eyelid surgery without any medical follow-up 8 years ago. It was badly done and it turned uneven and unatural. One of the two eyelids is ok but the other one is still very slightly reddish and puffy. I told her many times to ask a plastic surgeon to get it fixed but she is ashamed to have her eyelids done so cheaply so she does not listen to me. The result isn't pretty but acceptable... but I am very afraid it could be dangerous for her health even 8 years after.
Is It Dangerous to Have a Slightly "Puffy" Eyelid Even 8 Years After Eyelid Surgery?

Clearlight Infrared Curve Sauna Dome
Clearlight Infrared Curve Sauna Dome
Your Clearlight Far Infrared Sauna is completely safe and produces the same far infrared heat produced by the sun. The Far-infrared heat is required for all living things for optimum health. The radiant heat from your Clearlight Far Infrared Sauna surrounds you and penetrates deeply into your joints, muscles and tissues, speeding oxygen flow and increasing circulation. Using your Clearlight Far Infrared Sauna helps to remove impurities from your cells, specifically the cells inside our fat where our body stores waste and harmful toxins such as cholesterol and heavy metals. When used properly, your Clearlight Far Infrared Sauna will help provide a lifetime of healthful living.
Completely harmless, we feel far infrared heat from such sources as the sun (without the harmful ultraviolet waves that the sun gives off) and fires. Just as visible light has a range of wavelengths (running from red to violet), so does infrared light: longer wavelength infrared waves are thermal, while short or near infrared waves are not hot at all, in fact, you cannot even feel them. It is the far infrared energy that is most beneficial, penetrating the skin and increasing circulation to help rid the body of harmful toxins. Chat with one of our friendly agents at FitnessZone and learn more about the Clearlight Infrared Curve Sauna Dome. Order your Clearlight Infrared Curve Sauna Dome from FitnessZone.com today!

The infrared mat allows you to have infrared heat on both the back and front of your body. Both the Clearlight Curve sauna dome and infrared mat have a lifetime warranty.
Our True Wave II heaters are the only combination Carbon and Ceramic far infrared heater. These heater are truly the best of both worlds. The carbon allow the True Wave II heaters to produce long wave far infrared heat. The long infrared wave will penetrate deeper into your body and give you the benefits you are looking for. The patented organic Ceramic compound that we add to the carbon give the heaters a very high infrared output. Traditional carbon heaters are weak, but not our True Wave II heaters. They produce exceptional quality infrared and a lot of it.

Not all infrared sauna heaters are the same. The size of the wavelength and the amount of infrared heat given off by the heater varies greatly from one heater type to another. Some infrared sauna heaters produce high quality infrared heat, but do not emit a lot of infrared. Some heaters produce a lot of infrared heat, but the quality of the infrared heat is not very good. Only our patented True Wave II infrared sauna heaters combine the high quality infrared heat of Carbon and the high infrared output of Ceramic to produce the most effective infrared heat, bar none. Clearlight Infrared True Wave II far infrared heaters combine Carbon and Ceramic to produce healing infrared heat that is unmatched. Our heaters are comprised of micro-thin carbon fibers (1/1000th the thickness of a human hair) combined with our patented ceramic compound. We start with a high quality organic carbon fiber sheet. We then add our high output (high emissivity) ceramic compound to the heater allowing out heaters to produce long wave infrared heat with a very high infrared output. They are fantastic infrared heaters! |
We also position our heaters so the infrared heat is concentrated on your body. Since infrared heat travels in a straight line, any heater that goes up over your head is only heating the air. By using our high output heaters, we can concentrate the heat exclusively on your body so you get the most benefit. True Wave II vs. Traditional Carbon Heater Comparison Test |
Clearlight Infrared Curve Sauna Dome Health Benefits:
Increase Metabolism, Burn Calories & Weight Loss
As you relax in the gentle far infrared heat, your body is actually hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood, and burning calories. As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart will work harder to pump blood at a greater rate to boost circulation. This increase in your metabolism will burn calories.
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, "Many of us who run do so to place a demand on our cardiovascular system, not to build big leg muscles. Regular use of a Sauna imparts a similar stress on the cardiovascular system, and its regular use may be as effective a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories as regular exercise."
Day Spas and Medi-Spas around the world are using Infrared Saunas more and more to help eliminate cellulite. Since the far infrared radiant heat of the Clearlight sauna warms three times as deep as conventional saunas, it is significantly more effective at reducing cellulite.
Relieves Muscle Pain
The deep heat of your Clearlight sauna helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries.
Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscle, so they recover faster.
Muscles relax most readily when tissues are warm,for greater flexibility and range of motion. Far Infrared heat relieves muscle tension and thereby helping your body to make the most of its intended healing abilities. Infrared heat reduces soreness on nerve endings and muscle spasms as muscle joints and fibers are heated.
Improves the Immune System
Your Clearlight Sauna's deep heating True Wave II™ infrared heaters will raise your core body temperature, inducing an artificial fever. Fever is the body's natural mechanism to strengthen and accelerate the immune response, as seen in the case of infection.
This enhanced immune system, combined with improved elimination of toxins and wastes via intense sweating, increases your overall health and resistance to disease.
Remove Toxins
Infrared Sauna heat increases your blood circulation and stimulates the sweat glands, releasing built up toxins in the body.
Daily sauna sweating can help detoxify your body as it rids itself of accumulated highly toxic metals (lead, mercury, nickel, and cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sulfuric acid, and other organic and inorganic compounds.
"Traditional wisdom has suggested that saunas work largely by promoting detoxification through the sweat… Saunas also stimulate cells to release toxins which can then be eliminated by the liver and bowel. Several published studies have now shown that this hypothermic therapy can bring about the rapid removal of a wide range of toxic substances from the human body." John C. Cline, M.D., B.Sc., C.C.F.P., A.B.C.T., Medical Director of the Cline Medical Centre and Oceanside Functional Medicine Research Institute, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
"The best way to get rid of heavy metals and pesticide residues? The infrared sauna. It has been known for decades that sweating is a wonderful way to get rid of stored chemicals, including heavy metals. In fact, sauna is one of the detoxification procedures used in the Environmental Units in Dallas (Dr. William Rea) and North Charleston (Dr. Allan Lieberman) where the sickest of folks go to heal. But many people, myself included, never could tolerate a sauna. We felt weak, sick, fast heart rate, faint, dizzy, headachy, or just miserable. Thanks to improved technology, the infrared sauna is tolerated much better, because it uses a heat energy that penetrates the tissues better, allowing an overall lower temperature to be used." Dr. Sherry Rogers, Total Wellness, May 2000
Eases Joint Pain and Stiffness
In many countries radiant heat therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering from many forms of arthritis. Radiant heat has also been effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many other muscular-skeletal ailments. Much of the stiffness, aches and soreness that comes with aging is reduced or eliminated.
Reduces Stress and Fatigue
Relax in your Clearlight sauna as the stresses and tensions of every day life melt away! Just a few minutes in the gentle warmth of your Clearlight sauna and you'll feel relaxed, rejuvenated and renewed.
Many of our customers comment on how much they look forward to their Clearlight Sauna session daily as it's a great time to get away. It's like having a day spa in your home.
Improves Skin
The profuse sweating achieved after just a few minutes in your Clearlight sauna carries off deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the skin glowing and immaculately clean. Increased circulation draws your skin's own natural nutrients to the surface.
You'll see improved tone, elasticity, texture and fresh color. Increased blood circulation has also been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions and cuts. In addition, open wounds heal more quickly, reducing scarring.

Every experience is an opportunity to learn lessons. Sunday, the last day of the 2010 Pitchfork Music Festival, was overflowing with lessons about life, appearances and, most important, the significance of indie rock (slight). Here's the schooling that Chicago's own Pitchfork Media put on a sold-out crowd in Union Park on the city's near west side:
LCD Soundsystem, Public Image Ltd. - LCD Soundsystem Funding Public Image Ltd. Movie | Fugazi Fugazi's Digitized Live Archive Almost Ready |
I went to Pfork a few years back and it seems that it hasn't changed much. That's a good thing. A very comfortable festival that's cheap for all the amazing artists you get to watch.

I get the salon stuff at Ulta or JCPenney salon when it's on sale. It's worth it for me because I have pretty long hair that is fine and tangles easily. I also dye it…and backcomb…and straighten…and curl it. LOL. For me it's more about the conditioners than anything.
I stock up on the jc penny salon sales, I have very curly hair so I need a lot of moisturizing shampoo and conditioners but I also use pantene for curly hair.
I think i just prefer salon because I used to use pantene which made my hair fall out. Which is your favorite shampoo? I've been using Joico K-Pak which works pretty well.
The last shampoo/conditioner I really loved was LiQWD (Volumizing).
Pantene shampoo made my hair fall out too.
I am using Pantene right now, have for awhile and I ahve been having problems with losing more hair then usual…I actually thought it was my thyroid giving me problems but I had it tested and its just fine…now I amwondering maybe my hair doesnt like Pantene as well??
That's weird, my hair was shedding like crazy too. I never even thought that it could be the Pantene that I was using. Hmmm…
When I use pantene my scalp gets itchy and dandruff flares up. :s I didn't think so many people had negative results.
I love the scent of the new pantenes, but I can't use them for this very reason, once I start to use them my hair starts shedding like crazy….
I don't do much to my hair at all…Combing is a good day!! But I do use a salon shampoo. It was £14 ($20 I think…?) but I have had it 6 months and still plenty left. I also used to have to wash every 1 1/2 or 2 days, now it is 3 🙂 Then I use a little drugstore conditioner on the tips of my hair and nothing needs to be done for days 😀
Honestly, Salon shampoos and conditioners are better for you because they contain nutrients that go deep into the hair. Drugstore brands have some too, but also contain wax to just coat the hair and make it glossy. Natural/organic brands are the way to go if you are on a budget.
I do notice a difference when I use higher end shampoos/conditioners. My hair is SUPER thick and a pretty weird texture – not straight but not really naturally curly either. it gets very frizzy, but strangely enough it straightens very nicely – but takes a while! My favorite is ISO Bouncy Cleanse. I use it even when I'm going to straighten my hair because it just leaves it SO soft.
To save some money I alternate with drugstore (I have Pantene and tresemme right now) when I know I'm just going to throw it up in a ponytail.
While we're on the topic tho, I want to know if I'm the only person who is OCD and has to use the same brand/type of Shampoo and Conditioner when I wash my hair?
This leaves me with a problem because I usually use Shampoo up first (b/c of washing twice when my hair is oily or not using regular Conditioner b/c I'm doing a deep conditioner/mask). I end up using the leftover conditioner to shave with!
I always finish conditioner before shampoo, and I always just do shampoo once, followed by conditioner. I also like to use a set!
I use a set too, but if I don't condition after shampooing, I deal with tangles and unmanageability when I style it.
Ahahaha..I have the same OCD then. I MUST use the set of shampoo/conditioner of the same brand as well. Right now I'm using Shiseidos' TSUBAKI Damage Care Shampoo and conditioner but I also love Redken and L'Oreal ones.
what redken do you use? I've tried the so soft and it was okay…I need a bit more moisture. Any recommendations?
If you need something for A LOT of moisture/protein, try Redken Extreme. I really like that one for damaged hair. My sister destroyed her hair by bleaching/coloring too much and it's helped get her hair back to feeling somewhat normal. Otherwise the Redken Real Control is a great one too. That one is good if your hair is just feeling dry and makes it nice and smooth and shiny (I think this one may be the best for what you're looking for based on your above comment about the type of styling you do). It used to use it for a while when my hair was just feeling a little dryer and more dull than usual and it helped a lot. I have fine hair so I usually use something for volume and body (like Body Full) but this wasn't too heavy at all. All Soft is great (I love the smell) but I think it's better for frizzy or brittle hair. I think it's a good one for high textured hair.
Hope that helps! Where in WI are you from? I live in Grafton (20-30 mins north of Milwaukee).
Glad I'm not the only one with this kind of OCD! I've used a couple Redken ones before – the one I really like is Smooth Down, which a sales girl once told me in a super hush-hush voice "this is usually for black girls type of hair"…glad I didn't listen to her, because it worked really well for me! it was super funny that she said it like that tho.
I also liked all soft, but it didn't do anything magical for me. Same with the Fresh Curls. It did the job, but I didn't find it was any different that something 1/3 the price (like from the drugstore)
I do this too! I hate using a shampoo without it's 'partnered' conditioner. Drives me nuts. I currently have a number of shampoo's lining up waiting for a friend to be used again!
I currently use OJON shampoo and conditioner for dyed hair. I'm quite obsessed with shiny hair and find drugstore products just make it look dull.
I'm OCD like that too. I also run out of shampoo first, but instead of using my conditioner to shave, I buy a travel size bottle of "matching" shampoo to use until my conditioner is gone.
I read somewhere that it's important to consistently use the same brands of shampoo/conditioner on your hair. It's not good to constantly change ingredients and formulas. So in this case I think it's good to be a little OCD! 🙂
And I don't care how good it smells or what it promises, Pantene Pro-V is not good for your hair! The girl who cuts my hair says its full of wax and she tells all her clients not to use it.
I've also heard that about Pantene, and while I do use it on occasion, I don't use it consistently.
I've heard both ends of the spectrum – some people say changing up your shampoo/conditioner routine is good for your hair, and I've also read that it really doesn't make any difference.
I don't do much to my hair apart from dye it 2-3x a year and I'm really loving Lush Rehab Shampoo with their conditioners (any). It lasts me 2-3 days between washes and never greasy or gross.
Shiseido Tsubaki line is the same, but its a little harder to find.
I HATE drugstore hair stuff because its all just silicone, nothing is really absorbing into the hair and it really weighs it down, plus it gets greasy fast!
I must be really low-maintainance… My hair is good with whatever, so I basically buy whatever's on sale at the drugstore…
I have seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp, so I alternate between three different drugstore dandruff shampoos (each one has a different active ingredient). For conditioner I do use salon brands, but I purchase only when on sale. I don't dye or blow dry my hair that much, so this works for me.
I've yet to find the best shampoo/conditioner combination for my hair. Half the time, the conditioner just makes my hair greasy, and the other half makes it drier. It get so static-y in the winter, no matter what I do. I'm currently using Redken Clear Moisture shampoo/conditioner, and, while it cleans and shines my hair, it's still full of static.
I welcome any suggestions =) I'm so sick of winter static!
Rub a dryer sheet on your hair. It takes the static out and makes it smell yummy!
Unfortunately, my hair has always been high maintenance. Being naturally fluffy/frizzy, It requires salon formulas that provide a smoother, sleeker texture. I mix it up but currently I'm using Matrix in the orange bottles.
so do you think they're working out well? Thinking about tryin' em! Ulta has liters of them on sale I think.
Suave has an orange bottle system that is almost identical to the Matrix Sleek. I had a lot of success with it. If you hate it, you only wasted a couple of dollars.
all of my hair products are paul mitchell. i used to use various store brands and my hair was never shiny and always super brittle. i blow dry about 50% of the time, no other heat, no dyeing. other than the products, i treat it the same… and i've like a complete difference. super shiny and silky now
my hair isn't the issue, it's my scalp! so whether it's a drugstore or salon brand, it needs to be SLS free for it to not give me a reaction.
Yes, mainly because i don't have to wash it as often when I use the pricier stuff (as you said). I have pretty good hair, but it really gets an extra oomph with Nexxus Therrape and Humectress. I get these gargantuan 44oz bottles from costco and I don't need to use nearly as much product as I did with Pantene, so they usually end up lasting me several months.
I have a sensitive scalp, so I'm very careful what kind of shampoo I put on it. I would never buy a drugstore brand that dries out my scalp even more. I could use cheaper conditioners, but I like to spoil myself with something Redken, Kerastase or Sebastian 😉
I have thick, wavy hair that I color, and I used to only use salon brands like Pureology, Matrix Biolage, etc… but I started using the L'Oreal Everpure to try to save money, and I've been really happy with it! I like the smoothing kind. I don't know if it's better or worse for my hair, but I don't have to wash it every day, and I haven't noticed any difference in breakage. I'd definitely recommend trying it to anyone who is used to salon brands and looking to try something from a drugstore brand. However, when I tried other drugstore brands like Pantene and Herbal Essences, my hair got really dry and stopped looking shiny from all the product buildup 🙁
I have really problematic hair, so i have no choice but to use professional haircare. My scalp is very sensitive and flaky, hair is dry and fine, so i use special products for scalp (Philip Kingsley tonic, Leonor Greyl sulfate-free shampoo) and for revitalizing my hair (Philip Kingsley Elastizer). I also need a good serum to make my hair look healthy..
I used to do hairdressing for a little bit so I've heard all the sales talk but honestly, it really doesn't make a difference to me. It may to other people who have special needs–really fine hair, really damaged hair, etc–but my hair just needs a nice shampoo and conditioner. I get Aussie's and that's about as high as I'll go. I just don't buy into the whole "salon products are better" deal because it really honestly is chemical procedures and heat procedures that mess up your hair, such as dyes, perms, straightening, etc. I was taught all the sales gimmicks and lingo but honestly it's a lot of BS so I didn't like it… and now that I'm not doing hairdressing anymore I don't have to sell it anymore either!
Aussie is the WORST product in the world!It coats your hair so much, that if you were going to have a type of chemical done(perm, foils ect.) the product would actually have to eat through the buildup. It coats your hair so bad and then it makes is so dirty and greasy. The smell of the product is so obvious. Salon products are 100times better. they don't leave awaxy coating on the hair. Aussie also does not cleanse the scalp and hair! What a salon or stylist recommends is not BS. Maybe if a stylist doesn't have confidence in themselves and their occupation& no proper knowledge they don't know how to advise a client then they might need to talk up a sale and they probably don't believe in themselves as a stylist and a product. I guess maybe thats why you don't do hair any more. A stylist doesn't know everything when they get out of school. Its all about experience and knowledge.
Now this sounds like a sales pitch! I personally love aussie and not only has it repaired my hair wayy more than any salon product (I've tried TONS amd spent hundreds of dollars) but also cleans much better. And I think it smells amazing, much better than the overly perfumy salon brands that often smell like old lady. I get complimented all the time and my hairdressers can never beleive how healthy my hair is despite how much I process it. When I used salon products my hair looked like steel wool. Never going back.
I used to buy drugstore shampoos/conditionners but switched when I started coloring my hair. My hair is very long and dyed every 5 weeks or so, so I think they deserve a little something special. lol I use Paul Mitchell which I think is not too expensive especially when you buy the 1000ml bottles.
I NEED super hydrating shampoo, and so far Herbal Essences Hello Hydration shampoo and conditioner is the best I've tried.
I would like to try a nicer shampoo. Does anyone have a good suggestion for super hydration?
Also, I do straighten my hair frequently, but have never dyed it or do much else.
Well, I'm not so sure about shampoo but for drugstore I like that mane and tail…moisturizing formula or something. I got it at sally's. I like aussie 3 minute miracle. So far biolage ultra moisturizing has worked out the best for me overall and even though I'm always trying out new things I always go back to it.
Anything by Kerastase, it's expensive but it's the best IMO! I don't even need conditioner, but if you need it they have great ones too! I've used other products when I've ran out and I can totally see and feel the difference.
My hairdresser says that even the cheapest professional shampoo is better than the most expensive drugstore one
My hairdressers have encouraged me to use salon products and I find them to be better; I also need to use less of the product. I switch around, but right now I prefer Kenra.

A's Pound Sox to Kick Off Playoff Push
Posted By Josh Muller On Sep 1 2012 @ 9:20 pm In Oakland A's | No Comments
There is nothing like a good old-fashioned 20-2 beat down to start off the final month of the regular season. The Oakland A's [1] absolutely demolished the unrecognizable Boston Red Sox [2]Friday night, beating them by 18 runs. Wow.
It was only the fourth time in Oakland history that the A's scored 20 or more runs and it was done with authority. The A's hit five home runs: Josh Donaldson continued his ridiculous hot pace (does anyone remember Brandon Inge) hitting a three run bomb, Brandon Moss hit a second deck shot, Josh Reddick hit his 28th and his first career grand slam, and George Kottaras hit two as a backup catcher.
I was in the stands and it was some of the most fun I've had at the ballpark in a while. Obviously, everyone likes a little drama, and the walk-off wins have been great. But sometimes it's nice to not have to worry about the game and enjoy a stress-less victory. It was awesome.
I'm also going to give some credit to the fans. It wasn't the largest crowd I've ever seen, but they were certainly into the game. Often, especially with a team like the Sox or the Yankees [3], A's fans will be overwhelmed and drowned out by the opposing team's fans. Not this time. Chalk it up to the Sox waiving the white flag and/or the recent trades but I'm just excited to see A's fans getting out and cheering for their team in a loud and rambunctious manner.
The A's however, can't get too comfortable even if they double their margin of victory tonight. While it's fun to pound the other team into submission, the A's have a very tough road ahead of them to finish their playoff push. Sitting only four games behind the Rangers for the division lead, the A's currently hold the top wild card spot. However, the Angels [4], Tigers [5], Rays [6] and Orioles [7] are all within 4.5 games of the A's so Oakland is anything but guaranteed a post-season bid. And everyone should realize this considering the historic runs both the Rays and Braves [8] went on last year to propel them into the playoffs.
But this is a fun time and I certainly don't want to overlook that fact. Even though it isn't over, and the A's have a lot of work to do, it's damn fun to watch this team play. I want to convey the gravity of the situation, but I also don't want it to take away from the excitement surrounding this team. I've said it before and I'll probably say it again, but who would have seen this coming into the season?
Considering where most saw the A's finishing at the end of the year, it is borderline unbelievable they've been so good, and it seems as if they are getting better. Oakland has one 8 in a row outscoring their opponents 79-20 in that span. That's almost a difference of sixty runs in less than three full series.
But as I said before, September will be tough. In the final month (and three days as the A's play their last series in October) the A's play the seven against the Angels, seven against the Rangers, six against the Mariners, and three against each of the Yankees, Orioles, and Tigers. Those are some formidable opponents and each of those games will have playoff implications. Their only opponent out of the running is the Mariners and they've been playing much better ball since the All-Star break.
There is a lot of baseball yet to be played. If you are an A's fan, get out there and support your team. We should consider ourselves lucky that this team is this good; this is the most fun I've had watching baseball in years and they deserve a few more butts in the seats to cheer them on. Something special is happening in Oakland and you won't want to miss it. Let's keep it up and GO A's!
September Call Ups: There are usually two rounds of September call-ups. Once on the first of the month and then another when the minor leagues finish their season. Today, the A's reinstated A.J. Griffin and Brandon Inge from the disabled list and called up infielder Brandon Hicks and outfielder Collin Cowgil for some depth. That puts the roster at 29. I'd be surprised if they didn't get some more pitching depth up here sooner rather than later too.
I really like Cowgil. He plays hard and seems to do a lot of things well on the field. I'm not the biggest fan of Hicks but he can play a bunch of positions and has some pop in his bad. I am a bit surprised that Jemile Weeks wasn't recalled. I still think he might, but even if you don't play the guy every day, you can still use him as a pinch runner. A speedster like Weeks can be valuable down the stretch. I guess they want him t get regular at-bat for now.

A hash function is an algorithm that maps a large data object (usually of a variable size) onto a small data object of fixed size. Cryptographic hash functions are used to produce a message digest which is an integral part of secure e-mail. They generate a checksum for the message, thus affirming or denying the integrity of the message itself.
Alice sends a message to Bob and attaches a message digest containing the hash result for the message. Bob computes a new hash result from the received message and compares it with the received hash result. If they are identical, Bob knows that the message received is exactly the same as the message sent; that is, it has not been altered in any way. If the two hash results are different, then Bob knows that the message from Alice has been compromised.
A cryptographic hash function has a number of specific attributes:
* it must be 'one-way'; that is, it must be computationally infeasible to generate the input (the original message) from the hash result
* it must be collision free

On March 9, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced that it is soliciting proposals to establish a steering group in support of the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) and to provide the group with ongoing secretarial, administrative and logistical support. NIST anticipates supporting one proposal with approximately $2 million in funding for up to two years.
In April 2011, President Obama released NSTIC as a way to improve security in cyberspace and e-commerce. NSTIC charts a course for the public and private sectors to collaborate to raise the level of trust associated with the identities of individuals, organizations, networks, services and devices involved in online transactions.
"This grant will help to establish an independent steering committee led by the private sector that works in conjunction with the federal government to support NSTIC," said Jeremy Grant, NIST's senior executive advisor for identity management. "The committee will guide creation of an 'Identity Ecosystem' in which businesses and individuals can have more confidence in the security and privacy of their online transactions. The committee will also be responsible for identifying resources that will support the effort into the future."
Accredited institutions of higher education, non-profit organizations and commercial organizations located in the United States and its territories are eligible to submit a proposal for the NSTIC Steering Group Secretariat Cooperative Agreement. Proposers are expected to maintain a neutral stance toward the outcome of the steering group process and must agree not to become a voting member of the steering group.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to fund a secretariat for the steering group during its initial and early phases. A major role of the secretariat is to serve as an honest broker between multiple stakeholders, with a focus on facilitating the creation of consensus standards and policies that will serve as the foundation of the Identity Ecosystem. Given this, it is important that the entity selected through this funding opportunity be objective and independent.
The recently released Recommendations for Establishing an Identity Ecosystem Governance Structure for the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace ("Governance Recommendations") provides guidance for the steering committee and should serve as a "touchstone" for proposals, according to the solicitation. The report can be found at www.nist.gov/nstic/2012-nstic-governance-recs.pdf.
Applications are due on April 11, 2012. For detailed information and application requirements, see the entry at Grants.gov (www.grants.gov) for the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) Steering Group Secretariat Cooperative Agreement at http://www07.grants.gov/search/search.do?&mode=VIEW&oppId=151313.
NIST will hold a webinar information session for organizations considering applying to this opportunity on Mon., March 19, 2012. Organizations wishing to participate in the webinar must register at the NIST public Web site https://cc.readytalk.com/cc/s/showReg?udc=gstxhwgvhxh1
On Thurs., March 15, NIST will host the NSTIC Identity Ecosystem Governance Workshop at the Department of Commerce in Washington, D.C. The workshop will review and take questions on the Governance Recommendations and on specific issues concerning the establishment of the governance structure. For more information and to register for the workshop (which will also be webcast), visit www.nist.gov/itl/nstic_ieg_workshop.cfm.
