Product Questions and Answers

Ask a Question
Ask a Question

Can I use the silver to make a mirror reflection?

- Asked by trisha on 08-Feb-14

This product can create a reflective surface. However, Krylon Looking Glass Mirror-Like Paint or Ranger Foil Cardstock may achieve a stronger reflection.

- Answered by MisterArt on 11-Feb-14

Any experience with printing on this paper?

- Asked by Larry K on 07-Jul-13

The Mylar rolls can be embossed, but are not recommended for use in a printer.

- Answered by MisterArt on 08-Jul-13

Is the Mylar paper double-sided, or is it two different colors?

- Asked by Karen on 24-May-13

It is colored on one side, and reflective silver on the other

- Answered by MisterArt on 28-May-13

Can these Mylar rolls be used to make balloons?

- Asked by Dameka on 16-Apr-13

Yes, the Hygloss Mylar rolls can be used to make balloons.

- Answered by MisterArt on 17-Apr-13

Is the paper thick enough that it will not rip?

- Asked by Gina on 16-Jan-13

These rolls are very durable and can be used for virtually any craft project: decorating, gift wrapping, making geometric shapes, place mats, and many other projects.

- Answered by MisterArt on 18-Jan-13

What is the color on the inside? Is this a paper or other material like a candy wrapping foil?

- Asked by Mike on 10-Sep-12

The Hygloss Mylar rolls are colored on both sides. Mylar rolls are ideal for decorative wrapping and stenciling.

I used this mylar to sew book marks. It never tore, and sewed very well.
Rated by: Claudia M. in Manteca, CA
We used this in a Halloween costume, it worked beautifully, didn't tear and my granddaughter won in her class.
Rated by: Barbara S. in Rhinebeck, NY
We used the silver mylar for Christmas windows and won a prize for window dressing. It was easy to use and reflected light from our small white lights.
Rated by: GENE M. in N.O., LA
I am using the mylar in a hobby to make sails for a radio controlled sail boat. The product meets all expectations and is very light and bright. It may be too light for my application if the wind puts too much pressure on the sails. Time will tell.
Rated by: Paul M. in Collegeville, MN
great material; strong and flexible (doesn't tear easily); wish the rolls were a bigger size so they could fit large surfaces without looking so 'patchy'...fine product!
Rated by: linda s. in campbellsville, KY
Highly reflective. It's great to use to reflect candle light.
Rated by: Eva H. in Cascade, MD
This is the absolute best wrapping paper I have ever tried, mine was the most beautiful and professional looking gift at the function,...... Thank you Mister Art ;)
Rated by: Tiffaney V. in Orange County, CA
First I would like to say that the speed at which I received this product was amazing! I can always count on MisterArt to deliver...quick! Also, this is the absolute best price that I have found for this mylar...anywhere! I will definately order more of this wrap when I use up these rolls. This is a product I need for my henna business, and it works out great!
Rated by: Melissa Z. in Muenster, TX
I was very pleased with the product and the speed at which I recieved it.
Rated by: Anne H. in Bladensburg, MD
Used the silver for a banner that I wanted to look like a mirror. It worked much better than aluminum foil would have since it is much more durable and less likely to crinkle. Loved it!
Rated by: Jill M. in Arlington Heights, IL
Used these in blue & silver underneath table centerpieces for a company holiday party. They were a perfect size, and crease-free. They helped the tables look beautiful!
Rated by: Kara F. in Harrisonburg, VA
I saw the Mylar rolls featured in a magazine with an idea to paste them on the walls in a room to add some vibrance and sense of space. I bought the gold color and outlined the top of my bedroom walls with it. Because I live in student apartments, we can not paint the walls, so this was a very creative and cheap idea that adds color to an otherwise very white and dreary room.

FC: Peg's Award Night | March 2010

1: Can you read the small print? Can you see tiny Aunt Peg in the back of the room? | She is lining up to receive the 2010 Distinguished Service Award from the PA State AD Assoc

2: The room is all set up and she is lined up at the back. Marje and Whitey and I are at a table.

3: They announce her name and she walks in with a spotlight! Sorry the pictures are horrible. I am not a good photographer and the lighting was very dim!!

4: She sat at the head table behind her banner. I suppose it helped people pick her out of the crowd. Since she was the only woman being honored it was not too hard!!

5: When its her turn, she comes down to receive her plaque and. . . | on the BIG screen her professional life for all to see! This was where Marje said, "Wow. This is so impressive."

What Is a Church Community?

The video player could not be built.

Do you want to chat with a missionary?

We are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Hi I'm Amber

I am a wife, mother, and an officer in the military. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a wife, mother of two wonderful children, and active duty officer serving in the military. During college I attended a federal service academy and love serving my country, but above all else I am a wife and mother first.

Why I am a Mormon

I guess I've had a testimony of the church my whole life, a mormon is how I've always described myself and I just know it's true. The Gospel is my rod, my sure foundation in a time where it seems like everything is always changing. When I've had a hard day at work I go to my knees, when it seems like nothing is going the way it should I can turn to Jesus Christ through prayer and somehow everything works out in the end even if in the moment nothing is working out. I don't know what I would do without the church or the Gospel in my life, I do know that life would be a lot harder for me though.

How I live my faith

I focus on the basics; I read my scriptures, say my prayers, attend my church meetings, spend every waking moment I can with my family, and go to the temple as often as possible.

Dalziel and Popow drove the No. 2 Soloson BMW Riley Daytona Prototype to the victory, giving Starworks Motorsport its second consecutive Brickyard Grand Prix triumph in the three-hour race on the 13-turn, 2.534-mile IMS Grand Prix course. Popow joined with Indianapolis 500 veteran Sebastian Bourdais to win last year.

"It's just crazy," Dalziel said. "I said to the guys on the radio, 'I don't know if I should kiss everybody or kiss the bricks first.'"

Said Popow, "It's amazing being here for the second time in a row winning at Indy."

Indianapolis 500 veteran Scott Pruett and teammate Memo Rojas finished second Friday in the No. 01 TELMEX BMW Riley fielded by Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates, 3.438 seconds behind the winners.

Alex Gurney and Jon Fogarty finished third in the No.99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing Corvette DP, with Brendon Hartley, Pierre Kaffer and Scott Mayer finishing fourth in the No. 8 Starworks Motorsport BMW Riley.

Rubens Barrichello and Doug Peterson placed fifth in their No. 77 Ford/Dallara after Barrichello, who won the 2002 United States Grand Prix at IMS, saw his bid to become the first driver to win two major events at IMS come to an end when he headed to pit lane for gas late in the race while leading.

2013 Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan joined with Joey Hand in finishing ninth in the No. 02 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates NTT BMW Riley, while Bourdais and Emilio DiGuida drove the No. 4 8Star Motorsports Corvette DP to an 11th-place finish. Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard 400 veteran Max Papis teamed with Jeff Segal to win the GT class, placing 14th overall in the R. Ferri/Aim Motorsport Ferrari 458.

In the Brickyard Sports Car Challenge for the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, the team of Bryan Sellers and Mark Boden teamed up for a victory in the No. 46 Trim-Tex/BCKSTGR/Fall-Line Motorsports BMW M3 in a race that ended under caution.

Terry Borcheller and Mike LaMarra teamed to win the ST class in the No. 23 Automotive Chemicals BMW Group/Excelda Manufacturing BMW 128i.

2000 Indianapolis 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya drove his No. 42 Target Chevrolet to the day's fastest lap during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice session on the famed IMS 2.5-mile oval. Montoya's fastest lap was 185.410 mph. Kurt Busch was second at 184.347 in the No. 78 Furniture Row/Beauty Rest Chevrolet.

Four-time Brickyard winner and defending winner Jimmie Johnson was 13th fastest at 181.591 in his No. 48 Lowe's/Kobalt Tools Chevrolet, with four-time Brickyard 400 winner Jeff Gordon 21st at 179.917 in his No. 24 Pepsi Max Chevrolet.

Brian Vickers was fastest overall after two NASCAR Nationwide Series morning practice sessions, with a top speed of 177.855 in the No. 20 Dollar General Toyota in the second session. 2006 Indianapolis 500 winner and Nationwide Series points leader Sam Hornish Jr. posted a best lap 175.138 mph in his No 12 Wurth Ford during the first practice session.

NASCAR racing will continue on the 2.5-mile IMS oval Saturday. The Sprint Cup Series will practice at 9 a.m. and qualify at 2:10 p.m. for the Crown Royal Presents the Samuel Deeds 400 at the Brickyard Powered by, which takes place at 1 p.m. Sunday. The NASCAR Nationwide Series will qualify at 12:05 p.m. Saturday and then race in the Indiana 250 at 4:30 p.m.

Larson and Stewart pace Friday practice sessions

Hendrick powered Chevrolet's led the way in both NASCAR Sprint Cup practice sessions Friday.

The two practice sessions that took place Friday at Kansas Speedway went without incident. The first practice session was led by Kyle Larson (189.076mph), with Tony Stewart ending up on top in 'Happy Hour' with a speed of 192.809mph.

Larson, Almirola, Bowyer, DBlaney, Kahne, Biffle, Harvick, Logano, Gordon, and Johnson paced the opening practice of the day. Rookie Kyle Larson and Kasey Kahne were the only drivers who ran over 60 laps with Kahne leading that category at 63 laps on the board.

The second practice gives a better indication for who will be quick in qualifying. Tony Stewart led the way for Stewart-Haas Racing, followed by Bowyer, Johnson, Larson, Harvick, Gordon, Vickers, Newman, Allgaier, and Stenhouse Jr. With this practice being all about qualifying preparations for most of the field, only two drivers ran more than 20 laps.

Just one driver will be sent home in this field of 44, and qualifying might turn into a battle between father and son. Veteran Dave Blaney and son Ryan Blaney (attempted first Cup race) are both go-or-go homers and have the least amount of owner's points, compared to the rest of the field.

NOTE The last two Kansas races were won from pole position (Matt Kenseth and Kevin Harvick).

Paul is not the only one the Gilmore girls have chosen to ignore. They are also turning the volume way down on any criticism of the Netflix revival, "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life."

Many fans loved the four-part return, and their only criticism is that they're not guaranteed to get more. But others were disappointed, feeling that the revival lost a bit of the old spark. Some called out Rory (Alexis Bledel), Lorelai (Lauren Graham), and the gang for occasionally coming across as selfish and mean-spirited, aka "kind of awful sometimes."

That's how the moderator put it when stars Graham, Bledel, Scott Patterson (Luke), and Kelly Bishop (Emily) discussed the return during a recent panel discussion. The moderator referenced Rory's "boyfriend" Paul -- who is constantly forgotten, and cheated on -- and noted that, overall, "There's been a bit more of a backlash against their characters this time around."

Lauren Graham responded to that for the foursome (via People):

"We don't pay attention to anything. We don't know. None of us are on the internet, almost at all. So, I know what you mean, but the show has a sense of humor, and that's its sense of humor. And I think maybe it feels a little different; Rory's not in high school anymore, so yes, as grown women constantly forgetting... I just thought it was a funny runner. But the whole show has a kind of heightened theatrical quality. I mean, just like Donald Trump, don't take it literally. But unlike that, to me it was more of a metaphor for, this isn't the right guy, and this is how they communicate about it, and does it go 10 steps too far? I don't know, but it was 90 minutes. We had a lot of time to fill."

Patterson quipped, "Paul was a sacrificial lamb, and he knew it! The audience knew it!"

Bledel and Bishop also discussed not always agreeing with their characters's behavior and decisions. There's no reason why they should always agree with them. Do you always agree with your past decisions? Most characters on TV are not meant to be perfect, and Rory cheating or being The Other Woman isn't exactly new, even if it's still disappointing.

If some fans wanted more from the "Gilmore Girls" revival, that just shows how much they care and the high standard to which they hold such a classic series. And it's not like the actors themselves wrote the scripts, or could do anything about them at this point, so it's probably wise for them to keep the criticism at arm's length.

Neumann Kaffee Gruppe (NKG) is the world's leading green coffee service group. With 46 companies in 28 countries the group has a strong presence in most of the coffee producing countries and all important import markets offering a broad range of quality services and products along the green coffee value chain

As a reliable and straightforward partner to farmers and the roasting industry - large and small alike, for many decades the group has been mitigating the different needs and interests. Around 2,200 highly skilled employees work in the fields of farming and farm management, milling and grading, quality control, export and import of commercial grade coffee, instant coffee and specialties. The group not only offers modern logistics and risk management but also different financing models to go beyond the diverse demands of its clients.

“Since the 1970’s, at the time when coffee was shipped on 88 meter long geared general cargo vessels from East Africa, one of MSC’s original trade lanes, NKG has been on board… and still we are,” Mr Kay Lohse, General Manager of ICL Internationale Commodity Logistik GmbH explains,” Nowadays coffee is shipped time and again in containers globally on 395 meter long non- geared container vessels. Modern coffee logistics requirements are complex and diversified. The need for permanent and reliable supply chain visibility as well as full cost control is essential in order to be ahead of today’s market trends.”

The personal relationship with MSC includes many people committed to the coffee product e.g. a dedicated coffee customer service desk in the important origin country of Brazil which makes the difference and offers the flexibility necessary for the ever-changing coffee crops and new challenges around the NKG coffee supply chain.

Mr Vakur Germiyanoglu, VP at MSC Geneva HQ tells us, “MSC values its longstanding relationship with NKG.  We believe the success of our relationship is our open and flexible approach, with regular communication which allows us to meet, and exceed, NKG’s expectations.   We are proud to say that, thanks to MSC’s personalized service, tailored to NKG’s special requirements, MSC has become their logistics partner of choice”.

To think that even if you're sleazy enough to think wolf-whistling is a compliment...

(242 Posts)
BedHanger Mon 08-Apr-13 18:00:21

There are some groups of women you'd spare from the honour of your attention?

Like, maybe, a sleep-deprived new mother with a month-old baby strapped to her chest?

Yeuch. Why do some men think this is ok?

LimitedEditionLady Fri 12-Apr-13 19:55:14

I can see why some ladies will like to be wolf whistled at but I personally hate being wolf whistled at, particularly when I am on my own and it's a big group of men because I feel really uncomfortable that these idiots are staring at me and judging me on appearance. It actually makes me really mad. Fair enough if someone likes how I look that's great, fantastic but I don't particularly want to know! It's even worse when men do it in front of ladies partners, now that is just plain rude!

Pendeen Fri 12-Apr-13 12:16:37

That's terrible aufaniae, truly shocking that someone could do that and yet nobody said or did anything! sad

aufaniae Fri 12-Apr-13 10:23:57

digerd, I remember a man quite obviously wanking over my friend on a tube when we were 13. He was standing up. We didn't know how to react, so were giggly (we were behind him, my friend who he was leering over certainly wasn't giggling).

What shocked me then and to this day is that none of the other adults on that busy train said or did anything.

Horrible sad

digerd Thu 11-Apr-13 20:10:26

I remember, years ago, when I was a teenager, and from 16-18 was travelling on the tube for an hour. I was touched up, in various ways, one man wanked behind his newspaper<yuck>, was flashed at outside. Chatted up by a man with a handlebar moustache that he kept stroking, etc.
When I got into my 20s it stopped.

School girls only - that's disgusting.

ICBINEG Thu 11-Apr-13 20:00:37

mechanical oh there is no sneering...being subject to and influenced by peer pressure is what living in a society is all about. Some people are more susceptible than others, some people are more aware of the influence of peer pressure than others.

You say that some days you go natural and some days you go full slap, what determines which day it will be? Is it random?

I don't really do make up, but I do have different clothes for different confidence levels on a day to day basis.....

Lilipaddle Thu 11-Apr-13 19:32:58

While at secondary school, we used to walk along a busy road to get to school, and would get about 5-6+ beeps/calls out of vans so on each way most days. The disgusting thing was that as soon as we started 6th form, and were no longer in uniform, it dropped to 1-2 a week max.
Some men really have no morals.

aufaniae Thu 11-Apr-13 19:01:50

I can't stand wolf-whistling. I got unwanted attention a lot from men in the street, including wolf-whistling, from the age of 13, when I grew boobs. I was 13 FFS!

It says a lot about the typs of men who wolf-whistle that I stopped getting so much attention in the street once I hit my 20s, and then even less so once I started putting on weight.

Now I'm fat on the larger side and old I rarely get that kind of attention and it's a relief IMO.

Fucking slimeballs.

BedHanger Thu 11-Apr-13 18:39:39

I think I'm living proof that wolf whistling isn't a compliment on appearance. Seriously, just over a month post-partum, zero sleep, on my way back from the shops carrying my newborn and with precisely no interest in 'looking good' for anyone. It was all about the bloke showing how incredibly masculine he is hmm.

Thanks for the link mechanical, will check it out.

MechanicalTheatre Thu 11-Apr-13 18:28:47

would also be interested to hear the difference.

popebenedictsp45 Thu 11-Apr-13 18:24:03

karonski can you please outline the difference between a wolf whistle designed to be threatening and a wolf whistle designed to be fun? Is there some kind of audio guide I could listen to to discover the difference?

countrykitten Thu 11-Apr-13 18:08:38

karonski confused

DitaVonCheese Thu 11-Apr-13 17:52:16

Glad we got that cleared up then.

karonski Thu 11-Apr-13 17:33:43

No, lyingwitchinthewardrobe & mechanicaltheatre...I am quite capable of coming to my own conclusions because I have a brain (which I use) and I also have a sense of humour (which I also use). There's a world of difference between men (or women) using whistles/shouts/leers, etc in order to be threatening and abusive and a bit of fun that makes the world go round. It's important to be able to distinguish between the two. I can assure you that I have been pretty vocal on occasion when men have been inappropriate whether towards me or other women...but I know when something is meant in the spirit of lighthearted fun!

MechanicalTheatre Thu 11-Apr-13 17:22:57

Duelling, that's one woman though.

I wear make-up and heels too sometimes. Sometimes I pile on a ton of slap. Some days I wear none. Neither says anything about my self-esteem per se.

DuelingFanjo Thu 11-Apr-13 16:48:24

sorry Mechanical, I thought you were saying that because you found him unattractive you wouldn't give him the time of day. No offence intended.

DuelingFanjo Thu 11-Apr-13 16:46:04

and.. just to clarify I don't have a problem with heels or make-up. I wear both sometimes.

I guess I am talking about something like the recent story of a woman who had breast implants because she wanted to look like Jordan and be a model. She thought the larger breasts would make that kind of lifestyle and career more likely. I felt, reading the story, that her self-esteem was, frankly, fucked and she didn't even know it. She thought what she was doing was normal and worth doing, with no concept of how she had arrived at a place like that, making decisions like that.

MechanicalTheatre Thu 11-Apr-13 16:42:05

Duelling, er, well this is well off topic, but I think it was clear that I meant I didn't find him in any way attractive.

Not that I only talk to people who are attractive...not sure why you'd draw that conclusion.

MechanicalTheatre Thu 11-Apr-13 16:41:07

Oh RIIIIGHT, see I thought I hated being whistled at, but now I see that actually I hate NOT being whistled at.

Sorry all, my mistake.

Thanks karonski !!!!!!!!

DuelingFanjo Thu 11-Apr-13 16:40:15

"but if he came up to me in a club, I wouldn't give him the time of day."

because you only talk to people who are attractive? You would talk to him at least, depending on his approach?

I don't know who he is but so long as he wasn't invading my space and was pleasant to me I would at least give him the time of day!

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe Thu 11-Apr-13 16:40:05

Did a man tell you that, karonski?

karonski Thu 11-Apr-13 16:34:48

lighten up! the men working on a construction site outside my office often smile , say hello,'s a_bit_of_fun!! and what's worse than being whistled at?...not being whistled at!

MechanicalTheatre Thu 11-Apr-13 16:31:35

ICBINEG, how on earth do you know that? I mean, how do you know they're doing it any more than anyone else? I have peer pressure to look a certain way because of my job but I don't see anyone looking down their nose at me because the way I dress is "respectable".

Don't get me wrong, I see there are issues with plastering yourself with make-up and wearing heels everywhere, but it doesn't sit easy with me to point the finger and act like all these girls are self-esteem vacuums with no agency.

ICBINEG Thu 11-Apr-13 16:26:02

mechanical they are doing it because of peer pressure from both men and women.

MechanicalTheatre Thu 11-Apr-13 16:16:17

Duelling, maybe those girls aren't doing it for men? Maybe they're doing it because that's the look they like/it's fashionable/it's what their friends are doing.

What is "genuinely attractive" anyway? Look at Benedict Cumberbatch. Loads of women fancy him but if he came up to me in a club, I wouldn't give him the time of day.

rustybusty Thu 11-Apr-13 16:12:31

I agree dueling if you need hair extensions or layers of make up the then your not genuinely attractive. I agree that look is ridiculous.

Ok.. And your point is ?

Just got some hate comments, because I gave my opinion on Lil Kim and for the record... I could care less what you think about my opinions of her and how dumb and stupid you think I am for not liking her.

Lil Kim is done. She had her time to shine and Nicki already paid homage to her, but that wasn't enough. All she's doing is leeching off of Nicki's fame to come back into the limelight. If you don't like what I have to say then hop off my page.

Oh and one last thing, if you're a Kim fan, why are you on My Pink Friday to begin with? Get a life, bitch (:

Chapter 18 Application of fluorescence spectroscopic techniques in the determination of PAHs and PAH metabolites

DOI: 10.1016/s0167-9244(00)80024-4
  • Chemistry
  • Ecology
  • Geography
  • Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Publisher Summary Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are natural constituents of crude oil and many other petrochemical products. This chapter discusses the parent PAHs and their hydroxy-substituted metabolites and describes the Shpol'skii experiments on AT-ring and IN-ring hetero-substituted PAHs, particularly, amino- and nitro-PAHs and azaarenes. Shpol'skii spectroscopy of parent PAHs is shown to be applicable to various types of samples of ecotoxicological interest, such as sediments or biota extracts. Because of the excellent identification capacities of the technique, it can be used in a qualitative way for the identification of unknown compounds and for the assessment of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) peak purity. The amount of metabolites excreted is a direct measure for the integrated uptake and that combining PAH metabolite levels with environmental levels of parent PAHs provides information on bioavailability. Nitrogen-substituted PAHs are of particular importance from an environmental toxicology point of view, and the fluorescence techniques discussed in this chapter can play a significant role in this field of research.

Get Your Locks Fall Fashion Ready!

2012-10-23 15:57:39

Get Your Locks Fall Fashion Ready!

Follow these steps from veteran stylist Anna Craig of Trashy Root Salon & Spa to get your locks fall fashion ready!

As the heat starts to fad and cool nights begin to increase we think about how to prepare for fall. With the changing of the seasons often comes the changing of our hair colors.

Veteran stylist Anna Craig of Trashy Root Salon & Spa offers six tips to help you transition to your perfect fall look. As Pravana Artistic Educator and DevaCurl Specialist with over nine years of experience, Craig is extremely passionate about colors. Just follow these simple tips and you'll have your hair fall ready in no time!

Preparing for Fall

1. Deep Condition

Use a great deep conditioner a week prior to your dye appointment. You want to make sure you hair is strong and healthy. Make sure to do this around a week out — too close to your appointment will prohibit the color from fully penetrating.

2. Clarify

Clarify your hair to remove build up at least three days prior to you appointment. This will remove any access build up before you hair gets it's new fall look.

3. Hydrate

Use a hydrating conditioner for one week prior to your appointment, after your clarifying treatment. Hydrating conditioners are great to lock in the moisture without coating the hair too thick to prevent color penetration.

I recently realized that I was COMPLETELY overproteining my hair (I think there's a thread on the "protein sensitive" board that I started with details), and after careful analysis of all the products I've used, realized that my hair pretty much hates any protein but keratin, and ESPECIALLY hates all grain-based protein. (I've had an actual keratin treatment that my hair thought was pretty much the Best. Thing. Ever. If it weren't for the formaldehyde and the cost, I would so keep doing it).

I've been cranking up the moisture big time on my hair and have been totaly protein-free for the past 2 weeks, but now I'm wondering if I might need another PT (I used GVP K-pak), as the super-softness I was originally getting with protein-free/super moisture is dissipating and a little more tangly/dry. I'm due for color next weekend anyway so I'll do a PT sometime early this week and see.

Never-ending experimentation!!
Mod CG since 5/10, 2b/3a, med width/density, low/med porosity, greying since 18, color over grey since 21

Hair hates: non-keratin protein, glycerin, sorbitol, agave, sulfates, polyquats, co-washing (flaky scalp), maybe aloe?
Hair loves: fewer/more natural ingredients, moisture

Scalp wash: Selsun Blue naturals or reg when desperate
Low poo: Giovanni TTTT
RO: SN - Strawberry, ES
Style: HETT mousse, FSG if I make it, ??

Q&A with Fr. Clete Kiley

All this week we have been discussing immigration reform here at Q & A. Our final interviewee is Father Clete Kiley, Director of Immigration Policy at UNITE HERE, and recently president of the Faith & Politics Institute.

The question: What will it take to get immigration reform passed and what are the prospects for passage.

Father Kiley: First and foremost, there needs to be a national consensus that the current system is broken and that there are various parts of the current immigration system that contribute to this brokenness. It is not one singular aspect of the system that is broken. It is the cumulative effect of these broken parts that must be considered if we will fix the system. There are 11-12 million people currently in the United States without documents. Simply removing these people would create a humanitarian disaster. Citizens living along our national borders experience a lack of security, in spite of increased law enforcement presence. Employers and workers have a lop-sided playing field that favors employers who do not follow the law, and keeps too many workers unprotected and living in the shadows. The system is broken in many of its parts, not simply in one. The sooner we all face it the sooner we will get on to fixing the problem. And we need to commit to fixing all of the parts, not just one part.

What will it take to get immigration reform? Once we as a Nation have admitted we have a complex problem we need a framework for fixing it. The components of such a framework are pretty easily identified. Employers, Labor, the Religious community, Republicans, Democrats, immigration reform advocates and countless commentators have identified the basic components: fix the border, find a pathway for the 11-12 million here without documents, develop a mechanism that levels the playing field for employers and workers.

What are the prospects for passage? First, we need to be clear that immigration is a federal question, not a state question. Our federal political leadership, starting with the President and Congress, must pick up the ball and take the lead before more governors and state legislatures feel compelled to weigh in.

print-newspapers.jpgNow, more than ever, we need to inspire action and a belief in the common good. But we need you. Subscribe today!

Second, we need to find the political will for immigration reform. Frankly, that does not exist at the moment except among a few political leaders. One hears lots of reasons: it is an election year; we just did a comprehensive framework for health care and can’t do another one just now; we won’t do anything on this until we address one aspect of the overall problem first; the economy needs our attention; we’ll wait to see what the other side comes up with. Without the political will, you can forget about seeing reform. Political leaders need to hear loud and clear from the public and from the pews that now is the time.

Third, there are some troubling attitudes we have to face. There is a lot of political blaming for how we came to have such a broken system. It has taken decades to get us here. Leadership from both political parties failed to fix this system in the past. There is a good deal of fear mongering. This is an unfortunate and reckless aspect of our current political life. People have some honest fears. These do not need to be fanned. This only brings division where we need to find consensus. It brings political paralysis when we need action. It fosters an atmosphere that does not promote respect for the human dignity of others. That is an old, old road in America that we do not want to walk down again. Feeding these attitudes serves to stir up lots of political agita and may make a political career or two. But it dims the prospects for real reform. All of us need to attend to the tone of this dialogue, and safeguard the human dignity of all involved.

Bungie Aerospace revealed

For months, gamers and game journalists have been wondering, "What is Bungie Aerospace?" The game developer behind Microsoft's Halo series filed for trademarks for the title a while ago but has said nothing about what it might be about. Today Bungie finally revealed the details on Bungie Aerospace. No, it's not the name of its next game nor is it a new airline it is forming. It's a publishing brand that will help small independent game developers create and release games for mobile devices and also for the social game space.

The official Bungie Aerospace web site has already gone live with the reveal of the first title that will be released by the new division. It's called Crimson and it's being developed by Harebrained Schemes. This new Seattle developer was founded by Jordan Weisman who has helped to create a number of game themed companies including FASA, owners of game franchises like the Mechwarrior, Shadowrun and Crimson Skies. Indeed we would not be surprised to learn that Harebrained Schemes's Crimson was connected to Crimson Skies. Details of the game itself have not been revealed but it will be released for iOS and Android-based devices later this summer.

Bungie is, of course, now officially done with developing games in the Halo series. Microsoft will take over with the next game, Halo 4, in 2012 via its 343 Industries studio. Bungie's next game, which has yet to be officially revealed, will be released via an agreement with its new publisher Activision Blizzard.

How You Save Money By Adopting from a Shelter

Dogs and cats bring a lot of joy into their owners’ lives. If you are considering getting a pet, you may be surprised by how expensive adoption can be. Besides processing fees at a shelter, you may end up paying for medications, and of course food and toys that animals need to be happy in your home.  It is possible if you plan ahead to save money when you adopt.

What are some ways to save money when you adopt a pet?

First Thing’s First: Adopting is Cheaper than Buying from a Breeder

Jill Caren, owner of CharityPaws says “First it is important to remember that adopting across the board is much cheaper than buying a dog from either a breeder or pet store – so by adopting you are really saving money — and lives.” Shelters rescue dogs and cats that have been abandoned. When you adopt from a shelter, you are also potentially saving a cat or dog’s life.

Look for a Shelter that Spays/Neuters Prior to Adoption

Spaying and neutering your pet can be expensive. Many shelters spay and neuter pets prior to adoption. Jill added this “Many (adoption) groups will take care of this and incur the cost – so the adopter does not have to.” You may see this cost reflected in the adoption fee, but “Even if your adoption fee is $200, remember the rescue or shelter often gets discounted rates with their partners and vets for the medical care the animal gets. If you were to do spay/neuter or medical exams on your own – it is safe to say you would pay probably double that cost in medical fees, so there is a huge value in adopting.”

Look for Shelters that Offer “Starter Kits” for New Pet Owners

“Some groups do offer “starter kits” with this adoptions. A bag of food, cat boxes etc. See if you can locate a group that does offer this and it can be worth a few dollars!” Jill tells us. This is a great way to save on the “start up” cost of owning a pet.

When you adopt a pet, you are making a long-term commitment. That commitment will yield years of benefits in your own personal sense of well being as you and your pet become best friends. Just remember that adopting your new friend doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg (or a paw.)

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)

IBV Valve Clinical Trial

In May 2010 I participated in this clinical trial. After six months of tests, office visits and perserverance; I found in December I was in the control group and did not get the valves. My doctor tells me that since winter is cold/flu season he would be looking at April 2011 for me to get the valves. At my January 2011 appointment; my doctor tells me there is a moratorium on this procedure and I will not be able to have it done. I explained that I needed that in writing; and he promised to send out a letter to me immediately stating these facts.

After over a month of not hearing from him; I call him back to see what the tie up is. He said that he is going to get the letter from the FDA and have it sent to me. That was over a month ago and still no word. When I speak with those at Spiration and the FDA; they tell me there has not been, nor is there now any moratorium on this procedure. What is going on here? I understood that I would be able to have this procedure done after the six month trial if I did not get them at the onset. Now I find I did not get the valves; and I am chasing a ghost. That ghost is the promise of a medical device that would be beneficial to my life.

Where does this leave me? I can not get any more word from my doctor; all he says is that he is waiting on word from the device maker and the FDA. I know he is blowing smoke; I just do not know why...

Outcomes for children in LGBT led families

British studies

2015 –  Modern Families: Parents and Children in New Family Forms is published. Modern Families brings together research on parenting and child development in new family forms including lesbian mother families, gay father families, families headed by single mothers by choice and families created by assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), egg donation, sperm donation, embryo donation and surrogacy.

This research is examined in the context of the issues and concerns that have been raised regarding these families. The findings not only contest popular myths and assumptions about the social and psychological consequences for children of being raised in new family forms but also challenge well-established theories of child development that are founded upon the supremacy of the traditional family. It’s argued that the quality of family relationships and the wider social environment are more influential in children’s psychological development than are the number, gender, sexual orientation, or biological relatedness of their parents or the method of their conception.

Find out more Modern Families on the Cambridge University Press website.

2013 – Research into adoptive families headed by same-sex couples paints a positive picture of relationships and wellbeing in these new families. The study, which was carried out by Cambridge University, suggests that adoptive families with gay fathers might be faring particularly well.

“Overall we found markedly more similarities than differences in experiences between family types”.  Professor Susan Golombok

In-depth research into the experiences of adoptive families headed by same-sex couples suggests that children adopted by gay or lesbian couples are just as likely to thrive as those adopted by heterosexual couples. It also reveals that new families cope just as well as traditional families with the big challenges that come with taking on children who have had a poor start in life.

A report outlining key findings from the research – which was carried out by a team at Cambridge University’s Centre for Family Research – is published today by the British Association of Adoption and Fostering (BAAF) to coincide with LGBT Adoption and Fostering Week. The study is the first of its kind in the UK.

The research explored in considerable detail the experiences of 130 adoptive families, looking at important aspects of family relationships, parental wellbeing and child adjustment. The study compared three kinds of adoptive families: those headed by gay fathers (41 families), those headed by lesbian mothers (40 families), and those headed by heterosexual parents (49 families).

“We worked with more than 70 adoption agencies across the UK to recruit families. The participating families were similar in terms of ethnicity, socioeconomic status and education,” says Professor Susan Golombok, director of the Centre for Family Research and co-author of the report.

“Overall we found markedly more similarities than differences in experiences between family types. The differences that did emerge relate to levels of depressive symptoms in parents, which are especially low for gay fathers, and the contrasting pathways to adoption which was second choice for many of the heterosexual and some lesbian parents – but first choice for all but one of the gay parents.”

The study took the form of home visits to the families, written questionnaires, and recorded parent-child play sessions. All but four of the children studied were aged between four and eight years old, and all had been placed in their families for at least 12 months prior to being interviewed. All families had two parents.

Each year adoptive families are needed for some 4,000 children. Same-sex couples have had the legal right to adopt since 2005 but remain a small proportion of the total number of adopters.  National statistics show that annually around 60 children are adopted by gay couples and a further 60 by lesbian couples.

The bill that brought about the change was fiercely contested and took three years to pass through parliament. Issues raised in the debate included concerns that children adopted by same-sex couples would face bullying from peers and worries that children’s own gender identity might be skewed by being raised by parents of the same sex.

Responses from the same-sex parents, adopted children themselves and the children’s teachers indicates that these issues do not appear to be a significant problem – although the researchers, and some parents themselves, acknowledge that problems of bullying could become a problem as the children become teenagers.

The majority of the children in the study appeared to be adjusting well to family life and to school. Face-to-face interviews with parents, and with those children willing and old enough to take part, showed that parents talked openly with their children about adoption and recognised the value of children maintaining contact with their birth parents.

Some interesting differences emerged in parents’ wellbeing across the three types of family. Gay fathers were significantly less likely to report having depressive symptoms than lesbian mothers and heterosexual couples, most probably reflecting the lower levels of depression shown by men than women generally. However, it should be noted that the level of depression reported by lesbian mothers and heterosexual parents was below, or in line with, the national picture for mental health.

Gay fathers appeared to have more interaction with their children and the children of gay fathers had particularly busy social lives.

Pathways to adoption also differed across the three groups. While most heterosexual couples expected to become parents as a matter of course, fewer same-sex couples expected to have children. This was particularly true of gay fathers many of whom had viewed their sexual identity as incompatible with parenthood.

Most of the heterosexual couples, and a significant number of lesbian couples, had experienced fertility problems. Many had undergone IVF treatment with no success. In contrast, only one of the gay couples had tried (but failed) to conceive with the help of a surrogate. For the remaining gay couples, adoption was the first choice.

Most parents across the family types had had positive experiences of the adoption process with many speaking warmly of the support they received. A number of same sex couples, however, reported that agencies lacked experience in working with gay and lesbian parents and that this showed itself in awkwardness. One gay parent described having the phone put down on him when he said that his partner was a man.

Being adopted makes children different to many of their peers: being adopted by same sex couples could add another dimension to that sense of being different. Interviews with parents showed that they were well aware of the extra challenges they and their children might face – and that they hoped to raise children who were secure in their own identity and valued diversity.

2012 – A new study is currently underway exploring similarities and differences in family relationships, interviewing gay male, lesbian and heterosexual couples who have adopted. The research studies the role of fathering and mothering in children’s psychological development. The project is headed by Professor Susan Golombok, Director of the Centre for Family Research, and Professor Michael Lamb, Head of Social and Developmental Psychology – both at the University of Cambridge. We will list any publications from the study here as soon as they become available.

Tasker, F. (2007) Reviewing Lesbian and Gay Adoption and Foster Care: the Developmental Outcomes for Children, Family Law 37: 524.

Abstract: Looks at the research on lesbian and gay parenting. Considers lesbians and gay men as adoptive parents and foster carers. Concludes the Adoption and Children Act 2002 and SI 2007/1263 make it clear that, as a matter of social policy, in all issues relating to adoption and fostering same-sex couples are to be treated equally with heterosexual couples.

Tasker, F. (2005) Lesbian Mothers, Gay Father and their children: A Review, Journal of Developmental and Behavioural Pediatrics 26: 224-40.

Abstract: There is a variety of families headed by a lesbian or gay male parent or same-sex couple. Findings from research suggest that children with lesbian or gay parents are comparable with children with heterosexual parents on key psychosocial developmental outcomes. In many ways, children of lesbian or gay parents have similar experiences of family life compared with children in heterosexual families. Some special considerations apply to the context of lesbian and gay parenting: variation in family forms, children’s awareness of lesbian and gay relationships, heterosexism, and homophobia. These issues have important implications for managing clinical work with children of lesbian mothers or gay fathers.

Hicks, S. (2005). Is Gay Parenting Bad for Kids? Responding to the ‘Very Idea of Difference’ in Research on Lesbian and Gay Parents. Sexualities  8(2): 153-168.

Abstract: This article examines the claim that children of lesbians and gay men are different to those of heterosexuals, particularly in their gender and sexual identity. The author considers two examples, a UK Christian discourse opposed to all forms of lesbian and gay parenting and a US liberal equality approach, represented by the work of Stacey and Biblarz (2001). Both, the author argues, treat difference as a thing acquired by children. This article examines and disputes the ways in which this idea of difference is achieved, and proposes that treating gender and sexuality as measurable outcomes is highly problematic. The author argues for research that asks how contemporary discourses of sexuality actually maintain the very idea that lesbian and gay families are different.

Abstract: Psychologists recognize homophobic bullying as a serious problem for young lesbians and gay men; however, when it comes to children in lesbian and gay households the issue is not so clear cut. Some psychologists sympathetic to lesbian and gay parenting regard it as a problem, but most do not. Despite this, the inevitability and severe psychological consequences of homophobic bullying is a prevalent theme in discussions of lesbian and gay parenting in contexts ranging from custody cases to television talk shows, and is used to implicate lesbians and gay men as unfit to parent. This is the broader context in which lesbian and gay parents discuss their children’s experiences of bullying. In this study, we provide a discursive psychological analysis of six lesbian and gay parents’ accounts of bullying. We argue that these accounts are discursively and rhetorically designed to deal with a heterosexist social/political context. Lesbian and gay parents face a dilemma of stake and accountability: reports of no bullying risk being heard as implausible given the prevalence of the bullying theme; at the same time, reports of bullying are equally if not more risky, raising the possibility of charges of bad parenting. We explore the detail of the parents’ accounts of bullying to illustrate how they are designed to negotiate this web of accountability, and we argue for the importance for critical social psychology of analysing the talk of socially/ politically marginalized groups.

Abstract: An increasing number of lesbian women and single heterosexual women are bringing up children with no male involvement. This study follows up to adolescence a sample of children raised in fatherless families from birth or early infancy.Methods: Twenty-five lesbian mother families and 38 families headed by a single heterosexual mother were compared with 38 two-parent heterosexual families. The quality of parenting by the mother, and the social and emotional development of the child, were assessed using standardised interview and questionnaire measures administered to mothers, children and teachers.Results: Children in fatherless families experienced more interaction with their mother, and perceived her as more available and dependable than their peers from father-present homes. However, there were no group differences in maternal warmth towards the children. Mothers raising their child without a father reported more severe disputes with their child than did mothers in father-present families. The children’s social and emotional development was not negatively affected by the absence of a father, although boys in father-absent families showed more feminine but no less masculine characteristics of gender role behaviour. No major differences in parenting or child development were identified between families headed by lesbian and single heterosexual mothers. Conclusions: The presence or absence of a father in the home from the outset does appear to have some influence on adolescents’ relationships with their mothers. However, being without a resident father from infancy does not seem to have negative consequences for children. In addition, there is no evidence that the sexual orientation of the mother influences parent–child interaction or the socioemotional development of the child.

Development in Adoptive Families: Does Parental Sexual Orientation Matter?, Applied Developmental Science 14: 3: 164- 178.

Abstract: This study investigated child development and parenting in 106 families headed by 27 lesbian, 29 gay, and 50 heterosexual couples (80% White, M¼42 years) with young adopted children (41% White, M¼3 years). Parents and teachers reported that, on average, children were developing in typical ways. Measures of children’s adjustment, parenting approaches, parenting stress, and couple relationship adjustment were not significantly associated with parental sexual orientation. However, several family process variables—parenting stress, parenting approaches, and couple relationship adjustment—were found to be significantly associated with children’s adjustment, regardless of parental sexual orientation. Implications for understanding the role of gender and sexual orientation in parenting, as well as for legal and policy debates, are discussed.

Patterson C.J. (2009) Children of Lesbian and Gay Parents: Psychology, Law and Policy, American Psychologist 64(8): 727-736.

Abstract: Legal and policy questions relevant to the lives of lesbian and gay parents and their children have recently been subjects of vigorous debate. Among the issues for which psychological research has been seen as particularly relevant are questions regarding child custody after divorce, same-sex marriage, adoption, and foster care. This article provides an overview of the current legal terrain for lesbian and gay parents and their children in the United States today, an overview of relevant social science research, and some commentary on the interface between the two. It is concluded that research findings on lesbian and gay parents and their children provide no warrant for legal discrimination against these families.

Astract: Data were collected on 154 adoptive families with gay/lesbian and straight adoptive parents (154 parent respondents and 210 adolescent respondents). This study was principally interested in factors affecting adolescent attachment including parent sexual orientation, adolescent and parent life satisfaction, and parent level of relationship satisfaction with their adopted child as well as other key parent, child and adoption characteristics. The results suggest that higher level of adopted adolescent attachment to parents is not related to adoptive parent sexual orientation. Adolescent attachment to parents is related to adolescent life satisfaction; parent level of relationship satisfaction with their adopted child, number of placements prior to adoption, and adolescent’s current age. Adolescent life satisfaction, like level of attachment is an indicator of youth well-being. This variable was found to have a significant relationship with parent level of relationship satisfaction with their adopted child. The results also indicated parent’s level of relationship satisfaction with their adopted child was related to parent life satisfaction. The variable child’s age at adoption was found to have significant relationships with parent life satisfaction, parent’s level of relationship satisfaction with their adopted child, and number of placements prior to adoption. Implications for policy, practice, education and further research are discussed.

Erich, S. (2005) Gay and Lesbian Adoptive Families: An Exploratory Study of Family Functioning, Adoptive Child’s Behaviour and Familial Support Networks. Journal of Family Social Work, 9(1), 17-32.

Abstract: Traditional legal and social forces have hindered the adoption of children by gay and lesbian individuals and couples. Using a convenience sample drawn from gay and lesbian support groups and Internet sites, this exploratory study examines adoptive families with gay and lesbian parents in terms of family functioning capabilities, child’s behavior, and family support networks. Data were gathered from 47 gay and lesbian parents and 68 of their adopted children. The results suggest that these adoptive families are performing within the healthy ranges established by scales measuring family functioning and adopted child’s behavior. Additionally, the results of this study suggest these families have adequate levels of help from their support networks. Finally, those families who adopted siblings and those who adopted older children with a history of abuse reported higher levels of family functioning. The results of this exploratory study, in combination with previous studies of gay and lesbian families, support the practice of adoption by gay and lesbian adults.

Bennett, S. (2003) Is There a Primary Mom? Parental Perceptions of Attachment Bond Hierarchies Within Lesbian Adoptive Families. Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal, 20(3): 159-173.

Abstract: Basic tenets of attachment theory were evaluated in a qualitative study of 15 lesbian couples with internationally adopted children, focusing on parental perceptions of a primary mother-child attachment within the families. Interviews with 30 mothers examined variables affecting the hierarchy of parenting bonds, including division of labor, time with the child, and parental legal status. All children developed attachments to both mothers, but 12 of the 15 had primary bonds to one mother despite shared parenting and division of labor between the partners. Quality of maternal caretaking was a salient contributing factor; no significant relationship existed between primary parenting and parental legal status.

Abstract: Twenty-three empirical studies published between 1978 and 2000 on nonclinical children raised by lesbian mothers or gay fathers were reviewed (one Belgian/Dutch, one Danish, three British, and 18 North American). Twenty reported on offspring of lesbian mothers, and three on offspring of gay fathers. The studies encompassed a total of 615 offspring (age range 1.5–44 years) of lesbian mothers or gay fathers and 387 controls, who were assessed by psychological tests, questionnaires or interviews. Seven types of outcomes were found to be typical: emotional functioning, sexual preference, stigmatization, gender role behavior, behavioral adjustment, gender identity, and cognitive functioning. Children raised by lesbian mothers or gay fathers did not systematically differ from other children on any of the outcomes. The studies indicate that children raised by lesbian women do not experience adverse outcomes compared with other children. The same holds for children raised by gay men, but more studies should be done.
