Five new scientific articles show that regular participation in soccer increases bone mass and bone density, causes a significant improvement in standing postural balance and improves muscle strength. Together, these effects reduce the risk of falls and bone fractures.

Rainbow is curious…I don’t understand, when you apply your shampoo, your hair gets really rough and when you put on conditioner your hair gets really soft. What happened? and also i want to know, is conditioner ACTUALLY being absorbed by your hair?
The Left Brain explains:
The difference is simple. Shampoos contain cleansing surfactants like SLS, SLES or other detergents. These materials surround oil, lift it off and get rinsed away with the water. Shampoos do not necessarily dry your hair. What they do is remove all the oil (unless you’re using a 2-in-1). This makes the hair feel more dry.
Conditioners also contain surfactants, but these are conditioning surfactants. These surfactants have a positive charge on them which makes them “stick” to the damaged, negatively charged proteins on hair. So, when they are rinsed away, things like cetyl alcohol and other ingredients in the conditioner are rinsed away. Conditioners also contain silicones that will stick on hair and are not rinsed away. Conditioners mostly remain on the surface of hair but they do penetrate (absorb) to a small degree.

Oven baked fries still come out crispy and you can add any sort of flavoring to them before they go in (garlic, chili, parmesan… ANYTHING). For some reason I was craving “fish and chips” last week so I decided to douse my oven fries with balsamic vinegar when they came out of the oven. They were spectacular but if you don’t like balsamic vinegar, just eat them plain or dipped in your favorite sauce. The key here is that they’re cheap, versatile and yummy!
Total Recipe cost: $3.49
Servings Per Recipe: 6
Cost per serving: $0.58
Prep time: 10 min. Cook time: 40 min. Total: 50 min.
| INGREDIENTS | COST | |
| 3 lbs. | russet potatoes | $1.79 |
| 2 Tbsp. | olive oil | $0.21 |
| 1/4 tsp | garlic powder | $0.05 |
| 1/2 tsp | salt | $0.05 |
| hand full | fresh parsley | $0.19 |
| 6 Tbsp. | balsamic vinegar | $1.20 |
| TOTAL | $3.49 | |
STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Wash the potatoes very well so that the skins are clean and edible. Cut the potatoes into thick wedges.
STEP 2: Place the potato wedges in a bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt and garlic powder. Spread the potatoes onto a baking sheet (or two) so that they are in one layer (all touching the baking sheet) and have a little space between them. If they are too crowded the moisture from the potatoes will get trapped and steam them as they cook yielding a soggy fry.
STEP 3: Bake in the oven at 425 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until they are all brown and crispy on the edges. Check them at 30 minutes and adjust the cooking time to get them to your desired degree of brown-ness (I know, that’s not a word).
STEP 4: Place the cooked fries in a bowl and toss with chopped parsley. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar just before serving.
NOTE: This makes a LOT of fries. Luckily, you can easily adjust the recipe to use any amount of potatoes. I had to use two baking sheets to cook these so you may want to use only 2 lbs. of potatoes.
One night when I was super starving, I grabbed a plate of these, sprinkled them with some shredded cheddar and nuked them for a minute… wow. I can only imagine if I had some chili on hand… Heavenly homemade junk food!
