There is quite a bit of advice and numerous guides in taking care of one's hair. Of course, everyone likes to achieve that naturally beautiful and healthy hair. The first step to hair-care is diet and you can't cheat your way out of that one. As the saying goes, you are what you eat. Here are some other practices if you want to up your hair-care game.
Conditioning your hair every day when you take a bath is different from deep conditioning. You basically do the same thing when you condition and deep condition but the results are way better with the latter than the former. You can deep condition your hair or do DIY essential oil treatments (see argan oil hair treatment) every once in a while. This is good for your hair to keep it moisturized.
We bet that you already know this, too much heat is bad for the hair. As much as possible, using hair treating appliances such as curlers and irons are discouraged. But if you really need to, apply products that will protect your hair from heat exposure.
Another way to take care of your hair is to make use of hair masks. There are hair masks you can buy at drugstores but making your own hair masks is way better. Some of these home-made hair masks may be too delicious to eat! Yes, you can find the ingredients in your own kitchen.
One home-made hair mask you can craft out of your own kitchen is made out of egg, curd and mustard oil. Apparently, this is the answer to dry hair. Eggs are rich in vitamin A, B12, D, and E, fatty acids, and protein. The protein helps strengthen the roots, the fatty acids make it a natural hair conditioner and B12 helps add volume.
Our skin protects us from the different harmful elements of the environment. Taking care of it is a big responsibility. Here are some of the skin care practices you should start doing.
The sun is our source of Vitamin D but too much sun is just not healthy for the skin. Use protection from the heat such as wearing sun cream with an SPF that suits your skin type. Apply on a regular basis to get fully protected. Also, it is important to note what the hottest times of the day are to know when not to get sun exposure.
We use soap every day but it is very important to know that some soaps are bad for the skin. Your body tends to dry out when you're the soap you are using is not suited for your skin. That is why it is imperative to use gentle, chemical-free soap products for your everyday use. You can also take advantage of skin care products that are natural because they tend to have more benefits.
We reviewed the top 10 best hypoallergenic soap for sensitive skin. Check it out.
In case you didn't know, a shower is more beneficial to the skin that taking a bath because taking showers tend to dehydrate the skin. Staying in the water too long is not good, notice that when you skin crumples from being in the water for a long period of time? Also, make sure that the water you shower with is lukewarm.
Do you rub your body often with a towel right after you get out of the shower? Stop doing that! Aggressively rubbing your skin to dry is, in fact, harming your skin. Gently pat your skin instead such as your legs, arms chest and etc.
Moisturizing is key to a beautiful skin. Use a moisturizing product that will work effectively for your skin type. All skin types need moisture. Keeping your skin moisturized every day will restore the hydrolipidic film that surrounds your epidermis. Know how to make homemade non-comedogenic moisturizer here.
Another key factor to having a beautiful skin is water! Drink lots and lots of water, preferably 8 glasses a day. At the same time, a well-balanced meal is needed as well. Allow your body to enjoy all the nourishment that comes from eating fruits and vegetables. What you eat and drink will reflect on your physical appearance so eat clean!
Much like clean eating and hydration, sleep is also very important if you want to achieve a great skin. Getting enough sleep means your skin gets the rest and regeneration that it needs.
Last but not the least, quit smoking. Smoking is not just dangerous to your health but to your skin as well. Not to mention, it also puts the lives of those around you at risk. Smoking will leave your skin looking dull and will cause you to age faster.
These tea tree hair and body moisturizers are indeed a good investment! If you are in the market looking for new skincare products to try then you should not miss these dual-purpose products that do not sacrifice the brand quality and its effects.

I just installed 9.04. I was running 8.04. When I was running 8.04, the default Htz was incorrect for the display. I had to run displayconfig-gtk in order to set it correctly.
As I feared, that command has been removed from Ubuntu 9.04. There is not a selection for the correct (59Htz) refresh rate.
UPDATE: I installed the nvidia drivers. When I go to display settings, it tells me to use the vendors tools which runs the Nvidia X Server Settings.
But the problem is the same. The refresh rate is not listed. It is detecting my monitor correctly. But the refresh rate is incorrect and the correct one is not listed.
Any body know how to get around this?
I'm certainly no expert, lsutiger. I'm having problems getting my resolution to 'stick' after an upgrade to Jaunty, and a new monitor. But I looked at your file, compared it to mine, and I see some major differences.
# Removed Option "metamodes" "1400x1050 +0+0; 1280x1024@75 +0+0; 1280x960@60 +0+0; 1152x864@75 +0+0; 1280x1024@60 +0+0; 1024x768@60 +0+0; 1280x960@75 +0+0; #1024x768@70 +0+0; 1400x1050@60 +0+0; 1024x768@75 +0+0; 832x624@75 +0+0; 800x600@60 +0+0; 800x600@75 +0+0; 800x600@72 +0+0; 800x600@56 +0+0; 640x480@75 +0+0; #640x480@72 +0+0; 640x480@60 +0+0"

Option "metamodes" "1920x1200@60 +0+0; 1400x1050 +0+0; 1920x1200 +0+0"
Perhaps you need a modeline. There is a command that will generate one for you. I'm trying to find it now. I'll let you know when I do.
I hope this helps a bit to guide you.
edited to add: the instructions for generating a modeline are on the page I linked to at the beginning of the post, under Adding Undetected Resolutions.
When I reviewed my log file, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it indicated many errors regarding many of the resolutions in my list. I ignored those, actually, because none of them were regarding My resolution.
Below that, there was an error shown on the 'meta' modes. I had 1920x1200@60 in the list, along with 1920x1200 +0+0. The second was correct. The one with @60 was incorrect. I removed it, and put 1920x1200 +0+0 in the first spot, and viola. Reboot, and all is well.
Option "metamodes" "1920x1200 +0+0; 1400x1050 +0+0"
Hope that helps!! Good luck. Let me know if these help you.


Southern Illinois coach Barry Hinson enjoyed the hospitality at Kentucky so much before his team lost to UK that he decided to climb on his pulpit and offer some unsolicited advice for fans still upset about the season-opening 34-point loss to Duke.
"You need to read the book of Job; you need to have a little bit of patience. Rome wasn't built in a day. These guys are 18, 19, 20 years old. And, you have children, you have children of your own. And, you want to microwave the maturation process and you can't do that. It takes time," Hinson said after Friday's game.
No, not really. Some have complained about officiating. Many have praised UK's team and fans. But I can't remember an opposing coach lecturing fans before.
But considering that even Calipari admitted he's worried about some parts of his team, I asked Hinson why he's so sure Kentucky will be something special in March.
"Well the first thing that makes me sure is the guy that's sitting over there on the sideline driving the bus. He's one of the finest coaches — that's hard for a Kansas Jayhawk to say that too," Hinson said.
All that could be coach speak. His next reason should give UK fans more reason for optimism.
"The second thing is I've seen those guys. I've seen those guys play high school. I've seen those guys play AAU. I know how good they can be," Hinson said.
I've been a UK fan all my life and I'm not worried.
I'm mad as hell !!! .
Our overrated basketball team is utterly run out of the gym by our most hated foe and then to add another insult to the humiliation, our overrated football team is stomped into submission by the lowly Tennessee Vols.
All of this in one week…It's enough to make a preacher cuss !!!
All I can say the world hasn't ended like some people think it has. I'll keep cheering the cats on!!!!
I only know enough about basketball to enjoy watching it. I do however know something about winners and have the utmost faith in Cal. Yes, we got spanked by Satan but fully expect we'll see those Devils again in March. And when we do, we should be hitting on all cylinders and aching for revenge. I can't wait.


This book is shattering. I cannot praise it too much. Vonnegut makes evident his genius once again.
The general theme is that of "war is awful." With that effortlessly sophisticated innocence the author proves his point! After reading this book, is it possible to disagree with the anti-war protestors? There can be no more relevant book.
The story revolves around Billy Pilgrim, a man who has become "unstuck" in time. He is the son of an American barber, serves as a chaplain's assistant in World War II, and is captured by the Germans.
The settings are World War II Germany, upper-state New York and Tralfamadore, and are incredibly human. The author uses the war scenes to demonstrate the horror and futility of conflict. He illustrates the suffering of unarmed people under the force of the American and Nazi war mechanisms.
Kurt Vonnegut is a much misinterpreted writer, although his books are among the most popular of the decade, particularly on the college campuses. Among his works are "Cat's Cradle," "Mother Night," "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater," and "Player Piano." With the publication of "Slaughterhouse Five" he is being recognized as a man of great scope and depth. His style is bitingly, brilliantly satirical, and his books are hard to put down.
This one, more than any other, drained me. Never have I been so torn, so sorrowed by a description of war. Conflict takes on new meaning after reading this book. The author's sorrow is real; his sarcasm is brutal. He pours salt on an open wound. Read this book. It compels one to weep for man and for men and for children.

Exercise and HDL Cholesterol Levels

Anyone who has looked for ways to increase their levels of HDL cholesterol (that is, "good cholesterol"), has probably come across the recommendation to exercise. This is because regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, has been associated with higher HDL cholesterol levels. But just how much exercise do you have to do to raise your HDL levels?
Alistair Berg / Getty Images
What Is HDL Cholesterol?
The high-density lipoproteins (HDL) transport excess cholesterol from the walls of arteries to the liver. Because cholesterol deposits are a major feature of atherosclerosis, removing cholesterol from the arteries is thought to be an important component to the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
In the liver, the excess cholesterol from HDL particles is metabolized; much of it is converted to bile, which is then excreted by the body or used for digestion. This cholesterol recycling process—the "reverse cholesterol transport process"—helps to prevent or reverse heart disease.
A high level of HDL cholesterol, therefore, often means that a lot of excess cholesterol is being recycled, which is a good thing. Therefore, it is desirable to have a higher HDL cholesterol level.
HDL levels above 60 mg/dl are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.
Research Evidence on Exercise and HDL Cholesterol
Experts have known for a long time that exercise helps increase the production and the efficiency of certain enzymes that enhance this "reverse cholesterol transport" process. But how much exercise is necessary to achieve this effect?
A study conducted by Japanese researchers has shed some light on the question of how exercise type, frequency, and intensity impact HDL cholesterol.
In a meta-analysis, investigators from Tokyo evaluated the effect of exercise on HDL levels. They included data from 35 randomized trials assessing the effect of exercise on HDL levels in adults.
While exercise regimens varied among these studies, on average the subjects in these studies exercised for 40 minutes, three to four times per week. Effect on HDL level was measured after eight to 27 weeks.
Across the studies, participants had increases in HDL cholesterol averaging about 2.5 mg/dL. This increase in HDL cholesterol was modest but statistically significant.
By some calculations, a drop in cardiac risk of two to three percent is associated with a 1 mg/dL increase in HDL. While such calculations are based on a string of assumptions and not actual clinical trials, by this estimate a 2.5 mg/dL rise in HDL may actually amount to a substantial reduction in cardiovascular risk.
Perhaps the most interesting finding from this study is the observation that it was the duration of exercise sessions—and not the frequency or intensity of exercise—that best correlated with increased HDL levels. The investigators reported that in research subjects exercising for at least 20 minutes, each additional 10-minute increase in exercise duration was associated with an additional 1.4 mg/dL of HDL.
How Much Exercise Do You Need?
This meta-analysis represents the best estimate we have correlating exercise volume with HDL cholesterol levels. The results of this study indicate that exercising at least three to four times per week for at least 20 minutes should help you increase your HDL levels (though 40 minutes would be better). In fact, increasing the duration of your exercise sessions by pacing yourself judiciously (that is, by going slower if necessary) appears to be the best way to translate exercise into higher HDL levels.
Other Lifestyle Changes
In addition to exercise, other lifestyle changes can help you increase your HDL levels. These include:
Quitting smoking, which can increase your HDL cholesterol by up to 10 percent.
Losing weight: For every 6 pounds lost, HDL may increase by 1 mg/dL.
Choosing healthier fats, such as the monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats found in olive, peanut, and canola oils as well as nuts, fish, and other foods containing omega-3 fatty acids.
Consuming alcohol in moderation: Evidence now suggests that women should consume less than 3-5 drinks per week to avoid raising their risk of breast cancer. No more than two drinks a day are recommended for men age 65 and younger.
Foods You Should Be Eating to Boost HDL and Lower LDL Cholesterol
A Word From Verywell
Higher levels of HDL cholesterol are associated with lower cardiovascular risk. Regular exercise is one way to increase your HDL levels. It appears that exercise duration is the most important factor in successfully elevating HDL with exercise.

The purpose of this study to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of veliparib or a dummy pill (placebo) when combined with the standard commonly-used drugs (cisplatin and etoposide) on patients with small cell cancer of the lung or large cell neuroendocrine non-small cell cancer of the lung to find out which is better.
Patients that participate in this study will get either veliparib or the placebo, but not both. However, patients will get the standard chemotherapy drugs no matter which type of pill they are getting.
Veliparib is a drug that is expected to prevent the cancer cell ability to reverse the effect of the standard chemotherapy drugs which may be an important way by which cancer cells are able to become unresponsive to chemotherapy. Although we have evidence from laboratory testing that veliparib may make chemotherapy drugs more effective, it may or may not make cisplatin and etoposide therapy work better against small cell lung cancer or large cell neuroendocrine non-small cell lung cancer patients.


President Obama came to Phoenix today to say that it should be easier for people to buy homes, and the mortgage process should be more favorable to home-buyers.
Since we're just talking about things that would be nice to have, I'll take a large pepperoni pizza from NYPD Pizza delivered to my desk in the next 15 minutes, gratis, of course.
Really, Obama's speech motivated us to tell you that if you have "see the president in person" on your bucket list, cross that out and add skydiving or something.
Unless you're a die-hard Obama fan (which many of the attendees were, since they were invited), it's an extreme hassle to go see the President of the United States read a speech prepared by someone else.
Since you probably don't just have four hours in the middle of a Tuesday to go see the president (although it's really concerning how many people do), we took the layman's approach to attending, so you didn't have to.
First of all, the president's speech was at 1 p.m. Of course, the White House asked that attendees start going to a church down the street around 10 a.m., so you could take a school bus to the speech location, the gym at Desert Vista High School in Ahwatukee.
Then, you have to present your ticket to various people to get inside -- a ticket you somehow obtained to this "invitation only" event. Miraculously, pointing to a gentleman ahead in the line and claiming he had the ticket actually worked on everyone who asked for a ticket, paving the way for several hours of sitting in a high school gymnasium, waiting for the president.
"Congress should pass a good, bipartisan idea to allow every homeowner the chance to save thousands of dollars a year by refinancing their mortgage at today's rates."
"[The Administration is] cutting red tape for responsible families who want to get a mortgage but keep getting rejected by the banks."
". . . fixing our broken immigration system. It would actually help our housing market."
"We should address the uneven recovery by rebuilding the communities hit the hardest by the housing crisis, including many right here in Arizona."
"We should make sure families that don't want to buy a home or can't yet afford to buy one still have a decent place to rent. "
Not exactly groundbreaking material, but the transcript and video are online if you really need to see it.
Bravo, bravo. Now, once you think you can snap a few grainy cellphone pictures and try to get the hell out of there, you'll find that you're not allowed to leave the building until Obama's out of there, which will take a while because he's got hands to shake and such.
Then, you find that you've been gated inside the perimeter of a high school, as Obama hasn't left the premises yet. Add in the fact that the buses are late, and you're already taking the mile hike back to the church where you parked, you're probably thinking all these schmoes can keep those terrible interest rates.

EU should regulate investment cautiously
By Fu Jing (China Daily) Updated: 2017-08-01 07:44
Comments Print Mail Large Medium Small
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang delivers a keynote speech at the 12th EU-China Business Summit in Brussels on June 2, 2017. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]
In the last 60 years, the European Union has expanded from six members to 28, but the battle over the responsibilities of Brussels and individual EU states has not abated. The latest skirmish is over Brussel's eagerness to centralize the approval process for European companies' takeovers by foreign enterprises amid an explosion of Chinese investment in the EU.
Brussels wants to strengthen the approval procedures for foreign investors that target "key technologies for security reasons", and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker is likely to announce regulation options in September.
Some EU member states argue such a move is not necessary because many of them already have such screening process in place. There are many reasons why Brussels considers such regulation important. However, there is a need for the EU to be cautious while it is in the process of shaping the bloc's future.
The United Kingdom's decision to break away from the EU was at the heart of the debate over the responsibilities of the EU and its members states. Hence, the EU must consider whether adding another layer of red tape will put internal cohesion, efficiency and economic growth at risk.
As a champion of free trade, the EU needs to recognize that other economic powers are removing trade and investment restrictions. For example, China is now trimming its approval regulations and documents to meet its reform goals, in order to ensure that investment approvals are completed at the provincial or local level, instead of needing the green light from the central government to finalize each and every deal.
To improve its efficiency, perhaps the EU should follow China's example of economic decentralization. The EU's proposed investment restrictions come on the heels of a similar move by the United States, which keeps taking steps to close the door on Chinese investment.
Washington has built trade barriers, on the pretext of security reasons, to prevent China's telecommunications giant Huawei from venturing into the US, but the EU has welcomed Huawei, which has created 11,000 jobs in Europe. Huawei's contribution to the job market has yielded excellent results in the past six years, during a good part of which many parts of the EU were fighting recession.
The EU's open attitude toward investment created a win-win situation. China has rapidly improved its competence in technologies through investment, trade and transfer of knowledge with the EU, the US and other countries. When formulating new policies, therefore, the EU should consider if these policies will contribute to economic growth or retard it. And if the effects of the policies are likely to harm growth, it should discard them.
In the evolving and turbulent global situation, the EU must shoulder its responsibilities while it ponders its future. It should assert its independence from the US in defense and high-tech industries. Only free trade of technologies can help turn win-win potential into reality. It is now for the EU to decide whether building trade barriers is conducive to the economic growth of the bloc and the rest of the world or harmful to all.

RIDICULOUS US: As the truthiness turns!
Part 1—Just for starters, cable star provides some comic relief: Last Friday evening, at 9 PM Eastern, an unnamed major "cable news" star started the broadcast of her hour-long, eponymous cable "news" program.
After a few brief news updates, she opened her program with a 14-minute segment which was a marvel of truthiness.
Although its contents would become darker, the segment began with a silly, pointless tale—a pointless story the cable star didn't quite seem to believe.
The cable star had started her program with brief updates about the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise and about a collision at sea involving a U.S. Navy ship.
Then she launched her peculiar story. It was part of a 14-minute testament to the spread of truthiness Over Here, among Ridiculous Us.
To watch the full segment, just click here. Her story started like this:
MADDOW (6/16/17): Because it's Friday—if we're being honest, because it's a day that ends in Y in this era—there is a lot of news, including late-breaking news tonight, coming out of Washington as well.
In terms of the Washington news tonight, I need to tell you a story that starts with Bill Clinton, who went to college at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
Bill Clinton as a young man got there as an undergraduate in 1964. He graduated in 1968. And one of the stories about Bill Clinton's college career ends up being sort of relevant tonight to what we've just learned in Washington.
Odd! The cable star was going to start with a story which was only "sort of relevant" to the news of the day. She said she "needed" to tell us the story despite its limited relevance.
In fact, it wasn't just that the story was of (extremely) limited relevance. As would soon become clear, the major star didn't seem to believe the story she told. She said she'd heard it a million times, but she didn't quite seem to believe it.
Truthiness flooded her own sinking ship as she continued, like this:
MADDOW (continuing directly): Legend has it, legend has long had it, that at some time during Bill Clinton`s early college years, when he was at Georgetown, when he was a young man, maybe when he was about 19, so maybe when he was a freshman, young Bill Clinton went to a party in Massachusetts that was a beach party. And political legend has it that, at that beach party, he was swimming in the ocean and he basically got grabbed by a riptide and started to get pulled out to sea.
And when that happened, another young man, another, you know, 19-ish year old man, a Harvard student, came to his rescue. And the man who came to Bill Clinton's rescue in that possibly apocryphal near-drowning story was a man named Fife Symington.
Fife Symington was a Harvard student at the time this supposedly happened. He also went on to be a very famous politician in his own right.
Fife Symington was a Republican. He ended up becoming governor of Arizona. Bill Clinton, of course, was a Democrat who ended up becoming governor of Arkansas and then president of the United States.
I have to tell you, I've heard the story a million times. I have always suspected that the 1960s beach party, riptide, Fife Symington/Bill Clinton rescue story might be wholly or at least in part apocryphal.
But I've heard it a million times, and it is one of the things that people talked about a lot, years later, in 2001, at the end of Bill Clinton's time in office, when he issued—Surprise!—a presidential pardon to Fife Symington, the guy who maybe saved him from drowning all those decades earlier.
Three times, she said this near-drowning story is "legend." Two times, she said the story is "possibly apocryphal."
At two different points, she said she's heard the story "a million times." And although she's heard it a million times, she seemed to say that she's never really believed it.
Beyond that, the story was only "sort of relevant" to the day's news, the cable star said. But she told us she "needed" to tell it, even though it may not be true, despite its minor relevance.
Viewers of this "cable news" show won't be surprised by this oddness. This particular cable star tends to spend large chunks of time telling pointless, decades-old stories about political figures.
Some U.S. officials say the star is just killing time as she tells these long, irrelevant stories. Other unnamed people allege that she does this to create a "brand," in which she's perceived as being highly knowledgeable about modern political history.
(Spoiler alert: She isn't.)
In this case, she told a "near-drowning story," a story she's never really believed. The story involves the supposed near-drowning of the 19-year-old Bill Clinton, and—"Surprise!"—one of the Clinton pardons.
At this point in the star's recitation, the relevance of this possibly apocryphal story wasn't apparent at all. As we'll see tomorrow, the story, even if true, bore exactly zero relevance to that day's news in Washington.
That said, the cable star threw herself into the story heart and soul. She even received an off-camera laugh from a sycophant as she started the pointless tale.
She's heard it a million times, she said, not once, but twice. It was widely discussed in 2001, she said.
The truthiness was all around us. A few of the problems are these:
In fact, this old story, while not non-existent, is extremely obscure. For ourselves, we couldn't remember ever having heard it as we watched the cable star make her series of shaky claims.
The next day, we asked a major Arkansas-based, Clinton-watching journalist about the story. He said he couldn't remember having heard it either.
The story is very obscure. Was the story "one of the things that people talked about a lot, years later, in 2001, at the end of Bill Clinton's time in office, when he issued—Surprise!—[that] presidential pardon?"
That basically just isn't true. According to a search of the Nexis archives, the story wasn't mentioned in the Washington Post or the New York Times at the time of the Symington pardon.
In fact, according to that search, this possibly apocryphal tale has never been mentioned in the Washington Post at any time at all (for search terms, see below). It seems the story has been mentioned in the New York Times just once, in passing, in 2003, on one of the three thousand occasions when Symington hinted at a possible political comeback.
Forget the near-downing tale. In and of itself, the Symington pardon was barely discussed in 2001. Major turmoil did surround several other Clinton pardons. But perhaps for that reason, no one talked, or seemed to care, about the pardon of Symington for a set of alleged crimes he either did or didn't commit.
(A 1997 conviction had been overturned on appeal at the time of the 2001 pardon. The pardon meant the case couldn't be retried.)
Was Boudu saved from drowning when he was just 19? We don't know, and no one with an ounce of sense could possibly wonder or care. The cable star didn't even seem to know, despite the million times she said she has has heard the tale!
Trust us! As she continued with her story, then with her larger segment, the cable star's embellishments only grew. She proceeded, during the rest of her segment, to offer a slimy set of attacks on some political opponents, along with a set of bogus and/or selective claims about a range of topics.
Her work in this segment was especially faux even for increasingly ridiculous her. It showed how the cult of truthiness has been spreading Over Here, among the major corporate and journalistic figures we'll describe as "Ridiculous Us."
Already, though, in the text we've shown you, the star had provided some unintentional comic relief. We refer to a matter of pronunciation.
The major star said she's heard the story "a million times." She made that truthy claim two times as she told her pointless, truthy tale.
But how odd! Despite the very large number of times she's heard the tale, the cable start didn't know how to pronounce the name of her protagonist!
Alas! Fife Symington pronounces his last name in precisely the way you'd expect. He pronounces it as SY-mington, as did his more famous cousin, Missouri senator Stuart Symington, a Democratic presidential candidate in 1960.
Anyone familiar with modern politics would likely have heard this family name about a million times. But alas:
As she told her truthy tale, the major star kept referring to a fellow named "Fife SIMM-ington." In the part of the story we've shown you above, she had already mispronounced Symington's name five times, or her way to a world record ten.
She's heard the story a million times, she rather implausibly said. But in a bit of comic relief, she didn't know how to pronounce the protagonist's name! Our analysts groaned and stared into space. One of them called it a "tell."
More and more, day by day, this cable star is becoming increasingly truthy. In Friday's 14-minute segment, her truthiness was a stupidifying blend of the pointless, the false and the ugly, pimped along by the laughter of the corporate sycophant class.
In her full recitation of her pointless tale, she burned more than five minutes off her 14-minute segment. The American project is badly served when such Trumpist behavior is allowed to be aimed at its target, the floundering victim class we'll describe as "Ridiculous Us."
Tomorrow: What is truthiness? Plus, a model of same
Coming Wednesday: A truly ridiculous line-up!
Thursday: The Atlantic explores an older type of math
Conducting the search: It's hard to prove that a topic hasn't been discussed in some newspaper. In our search for the near-drowning story, we searched on the terms "Clinton AND Symington AND drown! OR riptide OR rowboat," along with variant spellings.
We added "rowboat" because, on the infrequent occasions when this story has been told, Symington has said he rescued Clinton through the use of a rowboat. Inevitably, the New York Times bungled this fact on the one occasion when it cited this pointless tale.
Simply put, it's what the Times does!
To see Symington pronounce his own name, you can just click here. (Warning! UFO discussion!)
To watch the rest of the world pronounce Symington's name, YouTube is wondrously there.
Before Friday night, had anyone ever referred to a man named Fife SIMM-ington? Apparently, the truthy-tilting cable star had heard it a million times!
This was a bit of comic relief. Tomorrow, we'll watch as her relentless truthiness grows darker. At some point, Ridiculous We will have to address this growing Trumpist behavior. Or are we just Fox after all?

Here you go Bob and Bobfans. The Fife Rescues Bubba Story told by a named source on TV.
Fast forward to the 4:00 mark.

"Was the story "one of the things that people talked about a lot, years later, in 2001, at the end of Bill Clinton's time in office, when he issued—Surprise!—[that] presidential pardon?"
That basically just isn't true."
From the New York Post
"CLINTON PAL WAS POISED FOR A PLEA
By Andy Soltis January 25, 2001 | 5:00am
A former Arizona governor was about to cop a plea when he was pardoned last week by longtime friend Bill Clinton, it was reported yesterday.
Fife Symington – who once rescued Clinton in a boating mishap – acknowledged he had been trying to work out a plea bargain to avoid retrial in a fraud case."
https://nypost.com/2001/01/25/clinton-pal-was-poised-for-a-plea/
"That basically just isn't true. According to a search of the Nexis archives, the story wasn't mentioned in the Washington Post or the New York Times at the time of the Symington pardon."
Bob basically can't search.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/campaigns/junkie/archive/junkie012601.htm
For some reason Somerby doesn't want to mention that the "relevance" of the beach Symington rescue/pardon relationship to "today's news" was Presdent Trump's hiring of criminal defense attorney. Dowd was Symington's attorney in the case for which Clinton pardoned him.
Obviously that news sent Maddow and/or staff to Wikipedia, where, in the entry on John Dowd, we find this;
"Fife Symington
Dowd represented former Arizona governor Fife Symington during the latter's trial for extortion and bank fraud in 1996 and 1997, of which he was convicted for bank fraud. Symington was convicted on 7 of the 21 counts and acquitted on 3, with the other 11 resulting in a hung jury. His conviction was reversed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in 2000. Symington was later pardoned by President Bill Clinton in 2001, whom Symington had once saved from a rip tide off of Connecticut.
In fact, much of Maddow's segment on Dowd seems to be based on Dowd's Wikiography.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_M._Dowd
Bob's right. How come she couldn't pronounce his name correctly?
If she'd heard the story "a million times," she'd know the name. How she got it wrong in the first place is baffling even.
She's a political junky? And never heard of Stuart Symington? Didn't recognize the name?
Bob caught her in a lie. Which kind of proves his point about her.
Marie Scott June 21, 2017 at 7:49 PM
I'm Marie Scott I'm from united states, i am married with two kids. Life has been a miserable for me and my kids for over six years when my husband dumped me for his new mistress due to some minor misunderstanding that we had. So he engage in a fight with me and throw me out of the house, so all through these sorrowful period of my life, i have been in pain. So one day, as i was browsing through the internet, i came across many post about spell casters testifying how they were helped by them so i decided to seek help and advice. but naturally i didn't believe in spells or magic powers but due to the fact that i was deeply in love with my husband, i decided to go for a try, So i came in contact with Dr.iyaryi of driayaryi2012@hotmail.com but before i contact Dr.iyaryi, i was scammed by a lot of spell casters who makes me believe that they can help me. So because of all these, i almost lost hope that i can't get my husband back anymore so when i contacted this Dr.iyaryi, he assure me that he will help me to reunite my marriage, so without demanding any single cent from me, he did a spell for me and he advice me to wait for my husband to come back to me in 3 days. I actually waited as he said, after the spell was done on the third day my husband actually called me on my mobile phone and started apologizing for everything that he had caused me and the kids. This was how my marriage was reunited again and Starting from this point till date, i and my husband has been living peacefully and happily. Anybody viewing this testimony should please stop by and read and if you are so interested in contacting Dr. iyaryi for any help, simply do that via his email id (driayaryi2012@hotmail.com) and remain happy. And also Reach him on WhatsApp Number: +2349057915709 Thanks Dr. IyaryI

Hulu loses in the neighborhood of $1.5 billion a year, and Disney is set to double its stake
Published Sat, Aug 11 201811:00 AM EDT
Sara Salinas@saracsalinas
Hulu doesn't report official numbers but some rough math of write-downs by Comcast, Disney and Twenty-First Century Fox puts Hulu's annual losses in the neighborhood of $1.5 billion.
Comcast and Fox both attributed losses to Hulu that had doubled from the year-ago quarter.
Disney is about to double its stake in Hulu once it closes its proposed acquisition of Fox.

As of this week, Hulu's major stakeholders have all reported earnings for the most recent quarter — and all three posted some big losses for the streaming service as it ramps up investments.
Hulu doesn't report official numbers — and declined to comment for this story — but some rough math of write-downs by Comcast, Disney and Twenty-First Century Fox puts Hulu's annual losses in the neighborhood of $1.5 billion. Each company owns 30 percent of Hulu.
Comcast, which also owns CNBC-parent NBCUniversal, and Fox both attributed losses to Hulu that had doubled from the year-ago quarter. Comcast posted a $107 million loss from Hulu and Fox posted a $127 million loss.
Four quarters of losses that size, accounting for the companies' shares, puts annual losses for Hulu between $1.3 billion and $1.6 billion. Research firm BTIG in February estimated Hulu's 2017 losses at under $1 billion.
Disney, the only company of the three not to break out losses for Hulu, noted repeatedly in its earnings release and on the company's earnings call that financials dipped for the fiscal third quarter in part due to "higher losses from Hulu."
And yet, Disney is about to double its stake in Hulu once it closes its proposed acquisition of Fox. A representative for the company wasn't immediately available to comment for this story.
If anything, the willingness to take on double the losses is credit to Disney's ambitions in streaming and over-the-top, direct-to-consumer content.
The company last year announced plans to launch an in-house streaming service to compete with industry leader Netflix. But the company has said it'll be at least another a year before launch, and drawing eyes from incumbents will take time.
"[CEO Bob] Iger seems committed to Hulu," Argus Research Analyst Joe Bonner said in an email to CNBC. "As he should be since it's an OTT streaming platform that is already up and running, rather than the prospective one that management is currently promising for the end of next year and even if delivered on time will take years to build a subscriber base."
Hulu executives have warned shareholders of growing losses as the company invests in building a subscriber base to rival Netflix's. In May, the company announced it had surpassed 20 million American subscribers, having added 3 million subscribers since January.
Netflix, for comparison, reported 57 million U.S. subscribers for the last quarter, an increase of fewer than 1 million subscribers over the three-month period.
"Investing in Hulu right now is probably money well spent and should not significantly impair [Disney's] balance sheet," Bonner said.
Disclosure: Comcast is the owner of NBCUniversal, parent company of CNBC and CNBC.com. Comcast is also a co-owner of Hulu.
Netflix's strategy is shaking up traditional media companies — here's why

You can do it, folks!
Ah ha … tis that time of the week again. I think (but don't really know that perhaps I have been here 5 weeks now. I am enjoying the Haiku of others.

These are certainly thought provoking. My intestinal fortitude gets plugged up sometimes. Other times it flows like a river. But it's mostly regular. LOL Nice ones.

Bizarre, for some reason I thought the theme this week was definition!
Yup, it was a tough prompt–so tough that I'll submit (in fear and trembling) only one link this week!
It will give me great JOY to work with next week's prompt!
Hmm so I thought I was rather late, turns out I'm 6 days early. Oh well, this crossing the pond business can be very confusing, sometimes it's Wednesday and Thursday at the same time.
Anyway, I hope you are enjoying the summer.
Summer has only just begun, but I intend to enjoy it! Met some Scottish folks at the Sandals club we were at – terrific people!
Great prompt for my week :) Sorry I didn't get in on the linky love earlier; was trying to post & run as my days are INSANE. As evidenced in my haiku.

El teatro besteirol (teatro de lo estúpido, en español) es un género y movimiento teatral nacido en Río de Janeiro en la década de los años 1980. Se caracteriza por un humor anárquico, por la falta de compromiso sociopolítico y por la ruptura con la llamada "cultura erudita". Desprovisto de preconceptos, incorporó diversas referencias culturales brasileñas y caricaturizó el comportamiento cotidiano. Las obras suelen ser protagonizadas por una pareja de actores. Se utilizan gags con referencias a filmes, obras de teatro, programas de televisión y al comportamiento de los habitantes de las zonas urbanas de poder adquisitivo alto. Estas referencias siempre están impregnadas de una mirada crítica.

El nombre del género fue puesto por el crítico Macksen Luiz que, en la edición de septiembre de 1980 de la revista Isto É, escribió sobre la obra "1001 encarnaciones de Pompeu Loredo" de Mauro Rasi y Vicente Pereira. Decía Luiz: "La mejor definición de la pieza puede ser resumida en un neologismo carioca, lunfardo playero, que significa exactamente aquello que la palabra resume: Besteirol (conjunto de estupideces). Esta divertida bobada seguramente tenga gran éxito de público".

Para Bárbara Heliodora, crítica de teatro del diario carioca O Globo, el besteirol fue una especie de heredero de la tradicional comedia costumbrista, el lado más fuerte de la dramaturgia brasileña. "Luego de la época negra de la censura, la aparición del besteirol se presentó como una forma de comunicación inmediata. Fue un instrumento óptimo para que el teatro comenzase a atraer nuevamente a un público que estaba un tanto alejado", sostiene Heliodora.

Sin embargo, el nombre dado al movimiento no fue del todo aceptado por varios actores que formaron parte de esa generación teatral brasileña. "Quizá a causa del nombre muchos piensan que se trata de algo tonto o estúpido, aunque no lo es", afirma Heliodora. Los textos rápidos y de fácil consumo reflejaban el momento en que fueron escritos, en contraste con los del teatro comprometido de la época de la dictadura militar (1964-1985).

La apertura democrática y el fin de la censura colaboraron para que los textos incluyeran críticas y transmitieran el clima de libertad. Entre los artistas del movimiento, se destacaron Miguel Magno, Ricardo Almeida, Vicente Pereira, Guilherme Karan, Miguel Falabella y Mauro Rasi, entre otros.

Algunas de las obras que marcaron esta época son: "Quien le teme a Italia Fausta", "Bar Doce Bar" (Bar dulce bar), "C... de Canastra", "Batalha de Arroz Num Ringue Para Dois" (Batalla de arroz en un ring para dos) y "Pedra, a Tragédia" (Piedra, la tragedia). Uno de los momentos altos del movimiento fue la escena de Falabella y Karam en el sauna, de la obra "Sereias da Zona Sul" (Sirenas de la Zona Sur).

Al final de los 80 el besteirol cayó en desuso, pero su marca permanece viva en el teatro brasileño.

Existe un importante paralelismo entre el teatro besteirol y el Teatro de lo ridículo, género nacido en los Estados Unidos en 1965 y una de cuyas obras más conocidas es "El misterio de Irma Vap" de Charles Ludlam. También se lo relaciona con la Movida madrileña, uno de cuyos exponentes más notorios es Pedro Almodóvar.

Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis star in Jupiter Ascending, an original science fiction epic adventure from filmmakers Lana and Andy Wachowski (The Matrix trilogy). Jupiter Jones (Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people's houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along—her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

Q: What's the best way to store a number (<= 10k) of huge csv files (~200k lines) in Cassandra? I tried to store them as a whole string in text column but there're errors when I was trying to save huge strings (over 45 millions chars). Are there any better options than to create long row_index column as a clustering key and store .csv line-by-line (each csv record will be a line in the table).
Write/read constraints: there's 1 write only (as soon as we create that .csv file), there's a small number (<= 10) reads for a specific file as well. And we'd probably like to optimize for fast writing, if possible.
Thanks.

People often ask me where Vancouver's most haunted places are. This is a tricky question to answer, however. Exactly how can we determine whether somewhere is "most haunted"?
Do we measure it by how many ghosts are in a location? Or by how many people have had spectral encounters there? Or should it also be based on how spooky a place feels?
I take two things into account to answer the most-haunted question. The first thing I consider is how many ghosts haunt a place. The second is the number of separate sightings or other weird things that have happened there. Add it all up, and the higher the number of ghosts and incidences the more (or most) haunted a place is.
My Top-10 List of Vancouver's Most Haunted Places
With the calculation done, the following is my top-10 list of Vancouver's most haunted places:
Riverview Hospital – This old psychiatric hospital is in Coquitlam, but it's within the boundaries of Metro Vancouver so it counts. Its decaying buildings are awash in negative energy and riddled with ghosts. It's currently a location for movie and television productions. Crew members and security guards see shadow figures, apparitions of former patients and staff, a phantom dog, strange lights, and objects moving on their own. Some hear disembodied footsteps and voices, doors and windows banging, and patients' bells ringing in empty wards.
Waterfront Station – It was here on the Ghosts of Vancouver website, over 10 years ago, where I first declared this location as downtown Vancouver's most haunted place. At least eight ghouls haunt this magnificent building. Security guards and other people who work there have regular encounters with them. There are probably other ghosts in residence at the station, too, but it's hard to say how many.
Burnaby Art Gallery – The gallery is in an old mansion that used to be a summer residence, a priory and, later, a schoolhouse for a nefarious cult. The ghosts include those of its former owners, a monk, and several traumatized children.
Hycroft Manor – There haven't been many reports of paranormal activity in this beautiful, big old house in recent years. But six spirits still roam its hallways and make noisy disturbances.
Old Spaghetti Factory – Of all the haunted places featured on the Ghosts of Vancouver website, the Old Spaghetti Factory gets the most page hits. This is for good reason – this restaurant has been a Gastown fixture for nearly 50 years and is a favourite among tourists. It's lavishly decorated inside with an old trolley car and many other historical artifacts. At least four spectres haunt the place. One regularly spooks the restaurant's staff members, especially after closing hours.
Hotel Vancouver – We all know about the ghost of the lovely Lady in Red who haunts this venerable old hotel. But do you know about the spectre of a man who is seen on the upper floor? Or how about the guest room so frightening you won't ever get to stay in it?
Seaforth Armoury – I'm privileged to have had an inside tour of this historic military facility. Several ghosts of soldiers haunt the armoury, including a regimental bag piper. He plays a sombre tune throughout the building. Over the years, many brave regimental members have had strange and terrifying experiences there.
J.W. Horne Block – A long-time anchor tenant of this wedge-shaped building – Salmagundi West – went out of business in 2018. This is a shame because that curios shop stocked some of the most intriguing antiques and nick-nacks in the city. Many ghosts were attached to the used jewellery and other old items that were for sale there. Staff members and customers regularly encountered the spooks. I haven't heard whether the current tenants – a teapot store and an antique shop — have had any paranormal encounters. Time will tell.
HMCS Discovery – When will we ever learn to not disturb native burial grounds? This Canadian-military base sits on top of an old First Nations grave site. Burial boxes once rested on trees branches and, later, cholera victims lay buried in the ground. Many personnel have had frightening experiences in and around the base.
Stanley Theatre – While the Vogue Theatre is Vancouver's best-known haunted performance venue, the Stanley Theatre has more ghosts – three to be exact – who get up to more hi-jinks than at the Vogue. Many staff members have experienced weird things at The Stanley, mostly after-hours.
Buy my book to learn more about these places. All the locations are featured there except Riverview Hospital, which I'm working on for a future edition.

Daniel Pipes: Westerners Welcome Harems
If you are a Muslim, it is your problem
WHEN will the Muslims of Britain stand up to be counted? When will they declare, loud and clear, with no qualifications or quibbles about Britain's foreign policy, that Islamic terrorism is WRONG?
Most of all, when will the Muslim community in this country accept an absolute, undeniable, total truth: that Islamic terrorism is THEIR problem? THEY own it. And it is THEIR duty to face it and eradicate it.
Source News of The World
To stop the denial, endless fudging and constant wailing that somehow it is everyone else's problem and, if Islamic terrorism exists at all, they are somehow the main victims.
Because until that happens the problem will never be resolved. And there will be more 7/7s and, sometime in the future, another airplane plot will succeed with horrific loss of innocent life.
Equally important, those British politicians who have seemed obsessed with pandering to, and even encouraging, this state of denial, must throw off their politically-correct blinkers and recognise the same truth—that Muslim terrorism in Britain is the direct responsibility of British Muslims.
If only they would follow the lead of Home Secretary John Reid, whose tough, pragmatic, clear-sighted approach has been a breath of fresh air. Only then can they properly work out how to tackle it.
For instance, every airport in Britain is in chaos over the plane bomb-plot alert as every passenger is subjected to rigorous security checks. Why? They take lots of time, lots of staff, and are extremely expensive.
I'm a white 62-year-old 6ft 4ins suit-wearing ex-cop—I fly often, but do I really fit the profile of suicide bomber? Does the young mum with three tots? The gay couple, the rugby team, the middle-aged businessman?
No. But they are all getting exactly the same amount and devouring huge resources for no logical reason whatsoever. Yet the truth is Islamic terrorism in the West has been universally carried out by young Muslim men, usually of ethnic appearance, almost always travelling alone or in very small groups. A tiny percentage, I bet, of those delayed today have such characteristics.
This targeting of airport resources is called passenger profiling—the Israelis invented it and they've got probably the safest airports and airlines in the world.
In all my years at the front line of fighting terrorism, one truth was always clear — communities beat terrorists, not governments or security forces. But communities can't beat terrorism unless they have the will to do so. My heart sank this week as I saw and read the knee-jerk reaction of friends and neighbours of those arrested in this latest incident, insisting it was all a mistake and the anti-terrorist squad had the wrong people.
I have no idea whether those arrested are guilty or not. But neither have those friends and neighbours. They spoke as if it was inconceivable such a thing could happen in their community; that those arrested were all good Muslims; that Islam is a religion of peace so no Muslim could dream of planning such an act.
But we heard the same from the family and friends of the 7/7 bombers, didn't we? And the two young British Muslims who died as suicide bombers in Israel. Then there are the British Muslims known to have become suicide bombers in Iraq.
There is currently a huge, long-running and complex alleged Islamist bomb plot being tried at the Old Bailey. And a fistful of other cases of alleged Muslim terrorism plots such as the 21/7 London Underground case are also awaiting trial.
All this would suggest the blindingly obvious—that terrorism is a major problem for the Muslim community of Britain. Of course, there will be instant squealings that this is racism. It's not. It's exactly the same as recognising that, during the Northern Ireland troubles that left thousands dead, the IRA were totally based in the Catholic community and the UVF in the Protestant.
And that, most importantly, IRA terrorism only began to draw to a close when that Catholic community it was based in decided as a whole that it was no longer prepared to back violence as the only way forward. Interestingly, it was Catholic revulsion over republican terrorist atrocities such as Enniskillen and Omagh that fuelled that change.
Well, Muslim terrorism in Britain is based in, has its roots in, and grows in, our Muslim community. The madmen of 7/7 and other suicide bombings didn't hide among the Hindu communities, worship in the Sikh temples, recruit at Catholic churches, did they? It may be true that events in Iraq have angered sections of the Muslim community. I have no doubts, whatever Tony Blair says, that it was a catalyst.
I also think it's entirely fair for Muslims, if they wish, to vocally oppose Britain's continuing involvement there.
I can recognise, too, that recent events in Lebanon inflame some people, and they want their voices of protest heard. The absolutely unacceptable problem is that this opposition is used by too many to turn a blind eye to, or excuse, terrorists in their midst. Blasting a passenger airliner out of the sky, killing hundreds of innocent men, women and children, is NEVER acceptable. Under any circumstances. There is NEVER an excuse.
A terrible tragedy costing Muslim lives in Lebanon or Iraq or Afghanistan is never ever an excuse for terrorism here.
It is totally unacceptable, totally wrong. What one party perceives as a wrong, no matter how strongly they feel, does not, in turn, justify another wrong being done to avenge it. And until every single member of the Muslim community believes that and preaches that—from an ordinary parent to imam or madrassa teacher—terrorism can't be beaten.
Politicians must accept this truth, and do something about it. One example would be to tackle this chaos at our airports and the passenger profiling I described earlier. Another must is to reconsider ID cards. The importance of knowing whether someone really is who they say they are has never been higher.
This must be combined with improved border controls, logging exactly who goes OUT of the country as well as who comes in should also be reconsidered, whatever the politically correct among us may say. The time terrorism suspects are kept in custody before charge has also caused dissent. Currently the maximum is 28 days—it may well be this should be reconsidered and, if necessary, raised again to, say, 42 days.
Plainly, Muslim terrorism isn't going away. We need to consider everything in our battle to defeat it. But that's the responsibility of all. Not least the community where, sadly for them, it is festering.


I was reading past posts and in 2014 and 2013, the Council lost quorum during as they listened to the BIA report during their summer session.
A quorum of the 24 member Council is 12. The Council had 12 delegates as the BIA started answering questions from Council delegates. The BIA had finished their quarterly report to the Council.
Delegate Nelson BeGaye said he feels that the Council is being held hostage late into the night because the Council gets started late.
But as the BIA Director Sharon Pinto informed Council that she and her staff sat in the Council chambers for about 12 hours and that the amount of money that they represent as federal employees was thousands of dollars.
And so Delegate Leonard Tsosie suggested that the Council continue to hear out the BIA.
Speaker LoRenzo Bates said that the Council could finish hearing the BIA report but they could not vote on accepting it or not.

Protect your baby and your own skin with these tips.
As your body changes during pregnancy, so may your beauty routine. You'll want to be extra vigilant about which beauty products you use, because your regular regimen may not be safe for your baby.
Check out our product guide on the following page to help prepare for the biggest change of all—a new addition to your family.
The Mane Event The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists OK's hair-dye use during pregnancy, but other experts urge caution. To err on the side of safety, avoid coloring your hair during your first trimester or space out color treatments as much as possible, advises Lois E. Shulman, M.D., associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
Highlighting, a precision application that avoids the scalp, is also a safe way to color your hair. To extend the life of your color choice, use products like L'Oreal Nature's Therapy Color Confidence Anti-Fading Shampoo ($9) and Conditioner ($7), which contain vitamin E to moisturize hair and fruit acids to prevent color from fading.
About Face While makeup can enhance your pregnancy glow, oral or topical vitamin A-derived skin medications, such as Accutane and Renova, can cause birth defects. "Salicylic acid also needs to be avoided," cautions Leslie Baumann, M.D., professor of dermatology at the University of Miami and author of The Skin Type Solution (Bantam).
Baumann explains that salicylic acid is in the same family as aspirin, which has been linked to fetal brain bleeding. Also, consult your doctor before using products containing alpha- or beta-hydroxy acids. Along with the same sun-exposure risks as others, you're prone to UV-exacerbated melasma (the "mask of pregnancy"), says David E. Bank, M.D., a dermatologist in Mount Kisco, N.Y. Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Daily Regenerating Moisture Lotion with SPF 15 ($13) protects skin and contains vitamin C to prevent skin damage from free radicals.
Bosom Buddies Your belly isn't the only part of your body that is getting bigger—and, in turn, suffering the consequences. Your ballooning breasts, too, may develop stretch marks and itchiness as the skin expands. Keep your skin soft—and discomfort to a minimum—by washing with a mild cleanser and applying cream right after you shower to lock in moisture, suggests Bank. Mustela Specific Support Bust ($25), which is safe to use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, contains a soy peptide derivative and wheat protein to help support the skin as it expands, plus calendula extract to soothe itching.
Full Frontal Disclosure There's no sexier rendering of ripeness than a burgeoning belly. But when it comes to the host of products that promise to prevent stretch marks, safety isn't really the issue—effectiveness is. The result of your rapidly expanding midsection, stretch marks form in the layer of supportive tissue found just beneath the skin's surface.
While doctors agree that only your own DNA can prevent permanent marks (which will fade over time), most balms and lotions are harmless and soothing. Clarins Stretch Mark Control ($46) calms dry, inflamed, itchy skin with olive, coconut and palm oils.
Smooth Operator Your legs can safely stay as smooth as a baby's bottom with shaving and waxing. But because pregnancy hormones can sensitize your skin, waxing may cause a skin reaction or feel particularly painful. And while depilatory use hasn't been shown to be harmful, moms-to-be should avoid applying unnecessary chemicals on their bodies.
In addition, be sure to consult your doctor before scheduling laser hair removal. To safely relax and rejuvenate tired legs, look for lotions containing refreshing botanicals, such as Burt's Bees Mama Bee Leg and Foot Creme ($9) with cooling peppermint oil (safe in small doses) and rosemary leaf extract.


Talk to me about Exotics?
Weekend_Warrior replied to TWar's topic in What's In Your Bag?
I play one of their 3 woods. I'll echo what some others have said; it's a great club with exceptional distance. Sometimes I wonder why I even keep a driver in the bag. Something I don't know if others have mentioned is the lifetime warranty. One day I teed off with the 3 wood and it felt like a mishit, when I leaned over to pick up my tee and used the club to sort of balance myself the shaft broke off right at the hosel. I was bummed, but when I went to the golf shop where I got it to get the shaft replaced, they told me about the lifetime warrantee and took care of it for free, and it wasn't a cheap shaft.
Weekend_Warrior replied to No3PuttLaLa's topic in What's In Your Bag?
This time of year is the worst. The weather teases some warm days and then throws some cold/snow/rain/ice. It is also when I feel the most urge to spend money on golf equipment. This year I've replaced my 3 hybrid with a Mizuno MP18 Fli Hi 3 iron. I'm excited about this one as I jumped on the hybrid wagon about 3 years ago and have never been comfortable with it, so going back to an iron I think will be good. Also, this year I am retiring the Ping Hoofer bag I've used for the last 17 seasons. We ride a lot these days, and when I walk I use a push cart now; so I've upgraded to a Ping DLX bag this year. Now if this Iowa weather would just cooperate I could stop spending money on equipment and start spending money on greens fees.
Yeah spin can cause a difference in distance. It sounds like you were both hitting different 3 woods (brands and setups) and since it is two different people's swings it would be hard to say that spin was specifically the culprit in your scenario.
That one shot you wished you had, and how to get it.
Best round with a OMG shot, what was the shot?


Dialectically, the interdisciplinary team, consisting of Dr. Sabine Knierbein (Head of Interdisciplinary Centre SKuOR/European Urban Studies, Open Space Planning, Landscape Architecture), Prof. Dr. Sophie Watson (City of Vienna Visiting Professor 2011 – Senior [Know Why]/Sociology), Dipl.-Kfm. Tore Dobberstein (City of Vienna Visiting Professor 2011 – Junior [Know How]/Business studies, urban development), DI Roland Krebs, MBA (External Expert 2011/Urban planning and design, international development activities in developing countries, project development and management) and Levente Polyák, Master (External Expert 2011/ Urban studies, sociology, architecture)will provide critical urban studies perspectives on the one and apply economic sciences on the other hand.
That means, considering public spaces and urban culture as two utterly vulnerable fields of societal interaction characterizing contemporary cities. Particularly market actors and institutions often seem to be able to realize their interests more powerfully than state or civic actors do as they basically possess core resources. Topics such as privatization and its manifold expressions, commodification, economy of symbols or economy of attention play a core role in these ways of understanding public spaces. Furthermore we aim at trying to understanding why and how private individuals and companies relate to the public realm and to urban cultural aspects. Classifying public space and urban culture as "public goods", we will learn that indirectly both fields have been subject to economic research throughout history. To reconsider these views with an urbanistic perspective could be particularly fruitful for urban planners, researchers and designers because contemporary economic research is focusing on an understanding and regulation of social interaction phenomena.
Besides strongly supporting the common critical tenor as regards the risks of market intervention in public spaces, we share a number of rather proactive questions that as well drive our enquiry: Are there long-term socially sustainable market mechanisms in public spaces? Are there vanguard urban practices that offer a more nuanced interpretation of what particular markets and their actors can contribute to 'sustainable' urban development? Which ones are the resources that state and civil society can pool with in processes of public space production? Which roles do local, municipal, migrant or ethnic cultures play in the formation of markets? To what extent do urban designers, researchers and planners have to deal with changing economic rationalities in the informal and intangible spheres and how are these related to the tangible aspects of space production?

Maxine Waters: 'No Peace, No Sleep' for Trump Cabinet Members, Applauds Public Shaming
By Benjamin Fearnow On 6/24/18 at 5:27 PM EDT
U.S. Maxine Waters Trump Kirstjen Nielsen Stephen Miller
U.S. Representative Maxine Waters said members of the Trump administration should expect continued harassment at restaurants and in public if they keep defending his "zero tolerance" immigration policy that led to thousands of migrant children being detained away from their parents.
The California Democrat spoke Saturday at a rally in Los Angeles and later on MSNBC about how the American people will continue to personally target President Trump's immigration policy defenders in public spaces. In the past two weeks, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave a Virginia restaurant, and senior adviser Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen were both separately confronted at restaurants and even at Nielsen's home.
Waters told MSNBC Saturday that members of Trump's Cabinet should not be able to cry foul or play the victim, given their targeting of migrant families.

"I have no sympathy for these people that are in this administration who know it is wrong what they're doing on so many fronts, but they tend to not want to confront this president," Waters said.
"For these members of his Cabinet who remain and try to defend him, they're not going to be able to go to a restaurant, they're not going to be able to stop at a gas station, they're not going to be able to shop at a department store. The people are going to turn on them, they're going to protest, they're going to absolutely harass them until they decide that they're going to tell the president, 'No I can't hang with you, this is wrong, this is unconscionable, and we can't keep doing this to children,'" Waters said.
Waters gave an impassioned speech to a Los Angeles rally on Saturday and sent a message to Trump's supporters. "You think we're rallying now, you ain't seen nothing yet," she exclaimed. "Already you have members of your Cabinet being booed out of restaurants. Who have protesters taking up at your house chanting, 'No peace, no sleep.'"
She continued, "Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up, and if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere.... Mr. President, we will see you every day, every hour of the day, everywhere that we are, to let you know you can't get away with this," Waters concluded to raucous applause.
"History is not going to be kind to this administration. We want history to record that we stood up, that we pushed back, that we fought and that we didn't consider ourselves victims of this president," she added.
Waters also laid into Trump's proposed border wall, telling the Los Angeles crowd that it will never be built.
"You sacrificed our children just for your aims and your goals just because you want to build a wall? Mr. President there will be no wall built on the backs of these children," Waters said. "You lied and you said you're going to make Mexico pay for it. They're not going to pay for it, we're not going to pay for it. You're gonna find these children, you're going to reconnect them with their families, and we're going to get you out of office."
