8 Best Dove Beauty Products
See which beauty products -- from bar soaps to hairsprays -- our readers like to fill their hand baskets with
Why: Readers agree that using this shampoo yields compliments: "I am so loving this product. Dove never lets me down. My hair is so soft, silky and shiny. And my boyfriend always runs his hands through my hair and tells me how good my hair smells. I would rate this 100 if I could." Another reviewer says, "if it weren't for this shampoo my hair would have probably fallen out by now. I have a thyroid condition that makes my hair extremely dry, plus I color it every five weeks. This shampoo has helped keep it soft and shiny. I get at least three compliments a day." One woman says, "I have found that the Dove moisturizing shampoo and conditioner give me the same results as the salon moisture products. Dove leaves my hair full of moisture, very soft and smooth. I've actually received more compliments on my hair with Dove than I did with the salon moisture products. Many of my friends have switched after they found out what I was using and are just as happy."

Dove is quickly becoming one of my most trusted brands after falling in love with their sensitive skin beauty bar and lotion. I have not tried the frizz cream yet but might have to now. Thanks for the list.

I remember I used the dove intensive shampoo and conditioner line and it left my hair nice. The hairspray smelled so good!

I do enjoy almost anything from Dove! Their body washes and deodorants are great! Although I would love for them to stop testing on animals,...that really spoils it for me! Just like Lactoste has great perfumes but they test on animals:( Please find another solution,it really is not neccessary!!!:(

I didn't realize Dove's bar soaps are so popular, I actually have some around the house but I never really used them.

I dislike Dove's shampoo and conditioner... it made my hair feel like straw. Aveeno is way better for dry hair like mine.

Dropped in with CVM4 before we went to Slice. It's almost in the center of a strip mall/grocery store center. Very crowded with beer and liquor but very organized. Unlike Hop City, you can't buy singles. Lots of taps available for growler fills. And a big refrigerated area that you could get lost in. The guy behind the counter is very knowledgeable and eager to help. I think the only drawback to Highland is the cramped quarters. But if you're not gonna be shopping with a cart, like at Hop City, and you're in and out, Highland has a huge selection for quick pickup. Well worth the visit.

My main objection to this store is the tiny cramped aisles so narrow that it is difficult to maneuver a shopping cart through them. Add to that the boxes of beer sitting everywhere and it is enough to make the claustrophobic go screaming in terror. Selection is massive and the prices are fair enough. I did see lots of beer that I knew to have been retired by Terrapin over a year ago. They have a nice growler fill station. The service was non-existent. The only employee who spoke to me was the janitor and then to tell me to watch my step where he had mopped. The guy behind the counter was about as lively as a dead fish. Selection and price make it a worth-while store, but just the creepy vibe was enough to make me rate them down. Also I couldn't find any singles, not that I asked either.

If you're looking for a particular beer in the Birmingham area this place more than likely has it. They have 72 beers on tap and a wide selection of 6 packs and singles/bombers of other beer.
They seem to know where just about everything they have is in the store which makes the service great and the guy behind the counter is always friendly.
I'd be a bit weary of some of the things I buy and really check the labels for bottled on dates, etc. I picked up a beer on 7/31/13 that was bottled on 3/2012 so pay attention.
I haven't had any problems with the taste of anything I've bought yet though so it hasn't been an issue for me, yet.

I first visited this place a year or two ago. When you walk in it's like there should be gas pumps outside because of the convenient store atmosphere inside. It's very cluttered and disheveled with really no rhyme or reason to the place. But, compared to a year or so again, the new shelving arrangement is a huge step up.
The selection and quality is the best there is in Birmingham. To me, Hopcity is really this place's only competition when it comes to the selection of beer. If you can't find a beer you want at one, then take a short ride to the other and it might be there. Service has always been good and the guy behind the counter has always been friendly. It's not a "sell, sell, sell" mentality and they let you browse around really without hassle.
Value/price is good and to me seemed on par with their competition. The 10% tax threw me off guard but they really have no control over that.
Fair warning, do not buy liquor here. I was randomly pricing bourbon/scotch and it was easily 25% - 50% higher than at my shops in MS. I'm not sure if that's his pricing strategy or some kind of Alabama deal.

Although this place is a pretty good haul from my home, when I'm on that side of Birmingham, I always make it a point to stop at Highland Package Store and just take it all in. The selection is excellent, and if you can't find at least SOMETHING to drink, you're either just too picky or you're looking for the Fountain of Youth.
The employees are friendly, although I agree with some of the other reviews that they might put the TV programs one notch in front of the customers. Not really a problem for me, though, because I enjoy looking around on my own and don't need a lot of assistance. I actually like places that DON'T have some over-eager, in-your-face "salesperson" with an agenda trailing you like a puppy dog.
As for the prices, I think they are reasonable. After all, take a few things into account : they are definitely marketing themselves as a high-end craft brew seller, not as a Stop-N-Shop to buy a 6-pack of PBR and a couple of Slim Jims. Also, because of their target market, they are located in a historic downtown area with pretty high real estate prices, so they have to make a little cash to cover their overhead. I've been to many high-end package stores with good selections, and overall, Highland is really no more or less expensive than the others. With craft beers, as well as with anything else, you generally get what you pay for, and the prices are first set by the brewers and distributors anyway.
If you're ever in the area check them out. Cheers !

I have promoted this place many times in the forums section of BA. They have become the go-to destination for quality brew in the region (with the only exceptions being Green's in Atlanta, and Central Market in TX). You simply must stop and check their selection out. In the last year they have added additional cooler space and shelving to carry their ever expanding assortment of micro-brew. These guys know an opportunity when they see one!
They are good people, and their pricing is par for Alabama (remember that tax is an easy 10% on top of your purchase in AL). Their selection cannot be beat in the area!

Best place for brews in the Ham. Have one of the best varieties of choice. Have around twenty beers on tap that choose from. Service is friendly and helpful. When I told the guy I was disappointed that they didn't have any Hopslam he went in the back and got me some of his private stash! I always check them out when I'm in the area!!! They were the first in town (that I found) that had Green Flash available from San Diego. They are always easy to talk to and helpful in making suggestions depending on your favorite style of brew.

Highland Package was recommended to me by my server at a local bar in the five points area. I was looking for a specific German beer and this place did not disappoint. They have a really good selection and I left with so much great stuff I probably damaged the suspension on our mini-van.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a interesting cast of characters that are obviously regulars at this place. I enjoyed listening to them talk with the staff and I learned a lot.
There is a hodge-podge of singles in the middle of the beer section, so you really have to look carefully.
Probably a little pricey but a very cool place!

The owners, Jimmy & David, are two brothers from Eastern Europe. They are very customer oriented and remember the name of the regulars who come in. They will order kegs for you and are pretty good at carrying a big selection of kegs. They even remember the types of beer that I like when they are telling me what kegs they have in stock. Jimmy is really the beer guy of the two brothers. Their variety of bottled beer is great and usually you can find the same ones in the cooler. If its a beer that can be obtained in Alabama they either have it or will get it for you. Much better atmosphere than at Vulcan.

If you are looking for a beer store in Birmingham that is most likely to carry X beer that you are looking for, you should start with Highland's Package store. Not much more can be said, except that they fill plastic 1/2 gallon "ghetto growlers" and have singles of some more rare beers individually priced. In the center aisle, there are singles from broken six-packs that can be purchased.
The owners have made it clear that they want to please the customers by having a wide selection, and while they are friendly, I've not had the customer service I would like to see in the beer store in Birmingham with the widest selection in town. For example, there is always a TV going, and whoever is working will stare at it first, then assist the customer second. One time I wanted to get a single of a beer that was not already in the center aisle, and they would not let me. Instead, they "helped" me by going through all the singles in the center aisle to look for the single I wanted. When it could not be found, a "special price" for my single was rung up--at a higher price than if it were in the singles aisle. The owner acted like he was doing me a favor by selling me the beer. Also, when I bought 4 singles of a Terrapin release that is normally in 4-packs, I had to pay a premium instead of the original 4-pack price because it was no longer on the shelf in 4-packs, but was in the singles cooler. Things like that make me knock the value and service marks.
As for quality, the beer has a fast turnover, so freshness is not usually a problem. One qualm I have is that they put the older beer out in the singles aisle. For most beer that doesn't matter, but I saw some older Sweetwater IPA mixed in there.

I'm confused about the exercise sets? Ok, pick 2 exercises per muscle then do reps of 12, 10, 8. 6, 12 then a different exercise working the same muscle. Ok, I repeat this cycle 4 times...it takes longer than 45 minutes...HELP!!!
How long is it taking you? If you are a minute or two over the time you will be fine. It will get easier and quicker for you the more you do the workouts. Make sure and wear a watch to begin the next lift at the time noted. 12 rest 1, 10 rest 1, 8 rest 1, 6 rest 1, 12 rest 0, 12 rest 2 then repeat on the next body part. One big thing that helps also is find the excel sheet on this site and print it off for the day and fill out the weights you plan on lifting. Make sure you have a solid game plan set up before you walk into the gym.
GREETINGS, Juice8652 is correct, I helps to have a gameplan when you get to the gym floor. I always put in my projected weights ahead of time using comments I may have made( usually with arrows for up or down) from prior sessions as to wether to go up or down on weights or reps in my journal. You have the pattern correct but don';t worry if you go a little bit over because that does happen and as you get use to the system you will start finishing on time. Keep Moving Forward!
Hi lvm143,
While most people go over the 45 minutes initially you will get better as you go along. There is something in your wording that makes me want to clarify with an example. Forgive me if I am not understanding you correctly, the word repeat this cycle 4 times is where I may be misunderstanding your post.
Chest example: Using Barbell Bench Press and Incline Bench Press as the two exercises.
Barbell Bench Press 12 reps
1 minute rest
Barbell Bench Press 10 reps
1 minute rest
Barbell Bench Press 8 reps
Barbell Bench Press 6 reps
0 minutes rest
Incline Barbell Bench Press 12 reps
2 minutes rest
Done with chest, move on to shoulders.
Have a great day,

Great game needs more and tracks
All I can say is that game is great it have has nice graphics and everything but main thing is that you need more to game app of sonic sage All star racing like more characters and more cool racing tracks. All I saying is that app should be updated more to this year and should at least 10 new characters to app and 12 new tracks to app at just to game app more interesting for this year at least because right now it's turn out boring now just because old update from 2012 we need new update of 2013 so least it will turn out more interesting. so love god make new update this year please because I getting bored play same old update from last year and need something new once !
Great game
The controls take some time to get used to, but once you get used to them, I guarantee that you'll have a lot of fun with this game. It's like Mario Kart, but all of the tracks and characters are from various Sega franchises, like Sonic, Super Monkey Ball, Jet Set Radio (JSRF in particular), House of t--I mean "Curien Mansion", and more. (Virtua Fighter characters are seen in the intro, but sadly they're not playable on this port)
Very fun game, great time-waster, and the perfect game for any Sega or Sonic enthusiast. I'd even go so far as to saying that both All-Stars Racing games are even better than Mario Kart.
Good... But
It is very good except I have gotten stuck on a screen that I cannot get out of. Sega, please help me so I can play this again or else I want my money back. Hitting the "Cancel" button nor waiting work at all.
Also, PLEASE UPDATE SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perhaps having an Update will fix my unfortunate problem listed above.
Sega, IF YOU DON'T FIX THIS PROBLEM OR MAKE A NEW UPDATE SOON, I WILL DELETE THIS APP AND I WILL BE EXPECTING MY $2.10 BACK. You will lose a valued customer for games, movies, and books as well. FIX MY PROBLEM!
Thank you for taking my idea into consideration.

text: Coverage Closing for FSA Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance USDA reminds producers of sales closing date for noninsurable crops Published on: Nov 14, 2012 Missouri USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Mark Cadle, reminds producers that they have until Tuesday, November 20, 2012, to purchase coverage through the Noninsurable Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP). NAP provides financial assistance to producers of noninsurable crops when low yields, loss of inventory or prevented planting occur due to normal disasters. The following crops have a NAP application closing date of Nov. 20, 2012: Apples, Apricots, Blueberries, Grapes, Nectarines, Peaches, Pears, Plums and Prunes. "Purchasing a crop insurance policy is an easy way for producers to mitigate risk," said Cadle. "The past few years have shown that natural disasters can severely impact an otherwise successful operation," he said.The following crops have a NAP application closing date of Nov. 20, 2012: Apples, Apricots, Blueberries, Grapes, Nectarines, Peaches, Pears, Plums and Prunes. In order to meet eligibility requirements for NAP, crops must be noninsurable, commercially-produced agricultural commodity crops for which the catastrophic risk protection level of crop insurance is not available. If the Risk Management Agency (RMA) offers coverage for a crop in the county, then NAP coverage is not available for that crop. In the event of a natural disaster, NAP covers the amount of loss greater than 50 percent of the expected production based on the approved yield and reported acreage. Eligible producers can apply for coverage using form CCC-471, Application for Coverage. Producers must file the application and service fee by the Nov. 20th deadline. The service fee is the lesser of $250 per crop or $750 per producer per administrative county, not to exceed a total of $1,875 for a producer with farming interests in multiple counties. For more information on sales closing dates and NAP, contact your local FSA county office, or visit the FSA website. Source: USDA

I know this topic has been mashed to bits and pieces. I've been up all night and tried to find a viable solution to no avail.
I'm growing so frustrated and fearing that my $400 went down the drain. I really need your help! Seems like a lot of ppl are having these issues and some solutions worked for some and seems more not.
1. I needed to restore so I did w/ 1.0.2 restore (iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.ipsw), using iTunes 7.4.2 (be damned) and it started to go into the dreaded endless reboot.
2. I tried this in iTunes 7.4, 7.5, nothing still, just keeps rebooting.
3. I tried again in the aforementioned iTunes to restore into 1.1.1 (iPhone1,1_1.1.1_3A109a_Restore.ipsw) and get Error (1).
I don't want to try 1.1.2 w/ iTunes 7.5 because I don't want to get into MUCH MORE unknown territory. It would be very appreciative if someone can lend a hand before I sell this dud on eBay. Thanks.

Image: WarmSleepy/Creative CommonsIf your baby loves his pacifier, then you know how awful it is when it hits the ground in a public place where you've got nowhere to clean it. But when the baby is crying for it and you've got nowhere to turn, desperate times call for desperate measures. It becomes time to bite the bullet and clean the dirt off by popping it in your own mouth and cleaning it with your own saliva. While it all sounds disgusting (it's amazing what parents will do for their babies), it turns out that in doing this you may actually be giving your child much more than just the chance to soothe themselves again.

In a study published in the online journal Pediatrics, a team of Swedish doctors followed more than 180 infants and their pacifier habits as well as their development of allergies several months later. The doctors collected and analyzed the saliva of the infants at four months old. The infants' pacifier use and cleaning methods were recorded at six months old, and the children were then tested for allergies at ages 18 months and 36 months, as well as whenever they showed symptoms of airborn or food allergies.

What doctors found was that those children who used pacifiers that were cleaned with their parents' saliva appeared to be less likely to develop allergies. Doctors theroized that the reasoning behind this is that parents are stimulating immunity by transferring beneficial microbes to their children.

If you you've been hesitant to allow your child to use a pacifier or are trying to break their pacifier habit at a young age, it looks like it might be worth letting them use it for at least a little while. However, while the study doesn't discuss it, you might want to consider putting the spit on your fingers and cleaning the pacifier that way rather than putting the germs from the pacifier that just hit the dirty sidewalk in your mouth so that you can stay healthy too.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I thought the card turned out the way I visioned it to be in my head. I am very glad I chose Wedding Paper Divas. The only problem I have is trying to get to the RSVP site to check on the info. Other than that, I would definitely use them again. The chat people were very helpful and went out of their way to walk me through some of the questions I had. Very pleased with the company."
"It was hard to find 50th Anniversary invitations, and then we found Wedding Paper Divas. The invitations was just what we were looking for, and we didn't need that many. I was amazed how fast the invitations came in the mail, and how stylish the invitation was. I will order again from Wedding Paper Divas."
"Now that I have found wedding paper divas I will never use anyone else!! The customer service was fantastic, the product absolutely brilliant, the time it took to get my personalized order amazing!! Couldn't be happier with the wonderful invitations I received. Wedding paper divas I love you!!"
"Excellent customer service and quality product all the way. When I requested a custom back side to coordinate with the front of my invitation, instead of the standard white, I honestly didn't think that it could be done, let alone with out incurring any additional fees, but they made it happen free of charge and my invitations came out absolutely beautiful. Thank you!!"
"This 40th Anniversary Invitation turned out beautifully with the help from the website to place the photo and information on the card. We will definitely use Wedding Paper Divas in the future for other invitation needs."

Project Plan For Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) Tooling, version 3.0.0
This document lays out the feature and API set for the Juno release of the Eclipse Graphical Modeling Framework Tooling (GMF-T) Project, version 3.0.0. This project plan inherits from the Modeling Project Plan, which should be referenced when consulting this individual project plan.
Release Deliverables
The release deliverables have the same form as is found in most Eclipse projects, namely:
- GMF Tooling source code release, available as versions tagged "R3_0" in the project's GIT repository.
- GMF Tooling SDK (includes sources, examples, and documentation) (downloadable zip and update site).
- GMF Tooling Runtime binary distribution (downloadable zip and update site).
- GMF Tooling Tests (downloadable zip and update site)
Release Milestones
Release milestones occur at roughly 6 week intervals and follow the Platform milestone releases by approximately 2 weeks; that is, until the final 3.8 release of the Platform, upon which GMF Tooling and other projects will release simultaneously. It is anticipated that GMF Tooling will synchronize its release milestones with the Juno release schedule for +3 components.
GMF Tooling will produce maintenance releases to align with the Juno SR releases, that includes the Eclipse Platform 3.8.1 and 3.8.2 releases. GMF Tooling may produce interim maintenance releases in addition to these in order to satisfy clients requests.
- 9/28/2012 (last Friday of September) - GMF Tooling 3.0.1 maintenance release (Juno Service Release 1)
- 2/22/2013 (last Friday of February) - GMF Tooling 3.0.2 maintenance release (Juno Service Release 2)
- A list of issues indicated for the 3.0.x maintenance stream can be found in Bugzilla, or by using links on maintenance stream build pages.
Target Environments
In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably current versions of the underlying operating environments.
The Eclipse GMF Tooling project depends upon on the Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java. The 3.8 release of the Eclipse Platform Project is written and compiled against and targeted to run on Java SE 5 and Java SE 6 VMs. GMF Tooling will target the same Java version(s).
Eclipse Platform SDK 3.8 will be tested and validated on a number of reference platforms. GMF Tooling is expected to be platform-independent, but will be tested and validated against a subset of those listed for the platform.
The Eclipse Platform is designed as the basis for internationalized products. The user interface elements provided by the Eclipse SDK components, including dialogs and error messages, are externalized. The English strings are provided as the default resource bundles. As a result, the GMF Tooling project will provide English strings in its default bundles and be localized to a subset of those locales offered by the Platform. This plan may be updated to indicate which locales will be provided and the time frame for availability.
Compatibility with Previous Releases
Compatibility of Release 3.0
The GMF Tooling Project will be developed in parallel with the following projects. As stated above, each milestone release of the GMF Tooling Project will be compatible with the corresponding milestones for each of these projects, and delivered the appropriate offset.
- Eclipse Platform SDK version 3.8
- Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) version 2.8
- Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) version 3.8
- GMF Notation & Runtime version 1.6
- Eclipse OCL version 3.2
Therefore, the GMF tooling release will be compatible with these versions and will publish binary and source compatibilities with migration guides on subsequent releases.

Awesome bag
By Peripatetic fool
from All points
About Me Career, Modern, Practical
Best Uses
Comments about Eagle Creek Morphus™ 22:
The ability to leave home with one bag and come back with two is all I needed to know about this bag. I'm done packing a soft duffle in my carry-on! One other note. I understand that some folks want this product with spinner wheels, but personally, based on my type of travels, spinner wheels are not effective. Ever try using luggage with spinner wheels on cobblestone pavement? Or rolling it directly from sidewalk to street level while jumping a curb? Having to stop to lift the luggage while walking briskly in a fast paced city like New York or Hong Kong is annoying. If all your travels ever include are smooth surfaces like airports and hotel lobbies, I can understand spinners. For the rest of life? Give me two good old fashioned inline skate wheels.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Missing one important thing...
By Tried and True Traveler
from Minneapolis, MN
About Me Comfort-Oriented, Modern, Stylish
I have to say this is an awesome bag that is missing my number one element for a seemless carry-on and that is spinner wheels. It is too difficult to maneuver down an aircraft ailse if you have to help your child also. Hope they make a spinner version soon.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Providing smart, innovative and durable luggage, bags and accessories since 1975.

1619 W. 6th St, Austin, TX | Directions 7870330.275432 -97.764028
Tu-F 10:00am - 6:00pm, Sa 10:00am - 4:00pm
Neighborhoods: Old West Austin
Since I am always looking for ways to detox, I got brave and tried the Infrared sauna, I felt and slept great that night. Definately worth it and I was very impressed with the privacy. Am glad I took Cassondra's(the owner) advice, I will going back for more. very friendly, & nice look and feel
Love it! – Whole Body Studio is my new fix. I had a massage by Luna a few weekends ago, she was wonderful. I cannot wait to go back for a facial and other treatments. Hopefully I will get back there soon! If someone were to ask me my recommendation of a place to go for the ultimate in relaxation and beauty, I would point them to Whole Body Studio in a heartbeat. Jennie, the owner, is hands down, THE BEST! She is friendly and has a wealth of knowledge about the industry! Nothing but love! ;)
Best Service – I have known Jennie since she took ownership of Whole Body Studio and she is amazing and SO sweet. The second I walk in the door I feel right at home. I have had facials and waxings performed at the spa and I have never left dissatisfied. The spa itself is cute and warm. The staff works hard to give you awesome service and I would recomend this spa to everyone. You will leave feeling amazing!
Best services, staff and ambience – I recently moved to the Austin area from Southern California. In California I had been going to the same person for waxing and facials for over ten years. Needless to say, I was mourning the loss of good friends and perfect service. I was dreading having to find new salons for my various services. Since I know no one in Austin, I had to resort to the internet to try and find some place. I contacted a number of salons to inquire about their services and to emphasize the standard with which they would be held. I stopped calling when I talked with Jennie. She expressed a genuine understanding of how difficult it is to find a new place and assured me I would not be disappointed. I scheduled a Brazilian bikini wax (I know, pretty daring for the first time, but it had to be done!). Just as Jennie said, I was impressed with the salon and I don't think I have ever had such a thorough bikini wax! I was very pleased and rescheduled for an eyebrow wax and facial. Now, if I can only find a hair stylist!!!!
great customer service – very welcoming from minute you walk in the door. went in for a brazilian wax and walked out very satisfied. wonderful company while very professional. used hard wax which i was not too familiar with but successful in the end. recommended to all that actually will go through with waxing. thank you so much!
Whole Body Studio Response – At Whole Body Studio, customer service is our primary concern. We have many regular clients and this is the first time we have had a complaint of this nature. We would never blame a client for their own discomfort. Our estheticians are skilled, trained and fully licensed and we always try to determine what a cause for discomfort might be. We use the same waxing technique on all of our clients and have never gotten a negative comment of this nature. We are very sorry to hear that someone had a bad experience and we certainly would have done whatever we could to remedy the situation at the time of service if we had known the client felt so adamantly about it. We would have rescinded any charge for services or offered them a free service. We never want a client to leave our spa unhappy. If the individual who wrote the review would like to contact us for a free service of their choice, we would be glad to oblige her. Also, we do have several other estheticians available for waxing services. We typically get rave reviews from our clientele for our waxing technique and ?bedside manner? and this is something in which we take a great deal of pride.
Half Waxed! – I have to say that I was very excited about going to a new place for waxing, even though it was for a brazilian bikini wax! The place looks very promising with it being in a great location, the wonderful lighting and serene atmosphere. The staff appeared to be very friendly and made you feel comfortable in such an akward request. However, things quickly took a turn. After 30 minutes of the aesthitician applying the wax with pop sicle sticks and letting them dry, she then proceeded to rip them off and with each pull it resulted in the sticks breaking. Her response was " this is my technique and I am the only one who does it this way in Austin" , then to myself I was thinking, "hummm, wonder why?! duh!) Then to add to the horrible pain and embarresment, she would then tug at least 3 to 4 times to get whatever type of wax off. Now, I know what you maybe thinking.... but this was not my first rodeo. I am the type of person who is well groomed if you know what I mean. So, after only getting half way through, I told her to quit and that the pain was unbearable, as you well can imagine when the wax 1) doesn't come off 2) she is pulling too slow 3) she keeps trying in the same spot! Also, not to forget mentioning, she blames it on the fact that sometimes wax reacts differently on some people. Whatever! I then proceed to the get myself together and wonder if I can even get back to work on time and more or less walk. Then in the front office as I am checking out, apologies are now coming from everywhere. They ended up charging me less than originally planned, but I was then told that because I was PMS-ing, that is the reason it hurt. ( I do know this is true, but I am no idiot! This time It wasn't because of that!) I just couldn't believe she was trying to blame it on me. Well, to end this misery for everyone, including myself, I would not get any body waxing, stick to a message and let me know how that goes!!

These are remarkable times for Herbie Hancock.
Come December, he will receive one of the country's most prestigious arts accolades, a Kennedy Center Honor, alongside actor Shirley MacLaine, singer-songwriter Billy Joel, guitarist Carlos Santana and operatic soprano Martina Arroyo.
Next month, Legacy Recordings will release an opulently produced boxed set of 34 CDs documenting his work in the 1970s and '80s.
And next week, Hancock will lead his quartet plus tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain in concert for the first time, kicking off the jazz season at Symphony Center.
If Hancock – who was born in Chicago and came of age as a musician here – ever wondered about his place in American culture, he clearly needn't anymore.
Even so, the man seems a bit taken aback by it all.
When he received the phone call informing him about the Kennedy Center Honor, "I was speechless at first," he says. "And then I started to get kind of teary-eyed, thinking about what the Kennedy Center Honors mean to me. I place it on a very, very high pedestal."
Considering that the award previously has gone to such jazz icons as Sonny Rollins, Dave Brubeck, Lionel Hampton and Ella Fitzgerald, that's understandable. Moreover, with precious few jazz musicians having been saluted since the Kennedy Center launched the awards in 1978, the pianist-composer enters rarefied company.
And there's the rub: Hancock, at 73, symbolizes a music that has practically vanished from TV, free radio and other arenas of our popular culture, even as it thrives in clubs, concert halls, high schools and colleges across the country. So when CBS broadcasts the Kennedy Center's tribute to Hancock and the others on Dec. 29, it will be a rare moment for jazz to reach a national television audience.
Hancock's honor, in other words, ironically crystallizes the marginalization of the music that has been at the center of even his most pop-oriented projects.
"I feel as though I'm a representative of people like Sonny Stitt and Miles (Davis) and John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk and so many musicians that never got the opportunity to be awardees," says Hancock.
"The interesting thing is (that) in spite of the almost-disappearing act from radio as we knew it … a growing number of young people are interested not in just listening to jazz but playing it.
"The existence of the (Thelonious) Monk Institute," which Hancock serves as chairman, "and Jazz at Lincoln Center and all the international work that jazz musicians have done not only as performers but also as educators, has filtered down into the minds and hearts of young people.
"I think it shows the strength and the importance of the music, that you can't keep it down. You can't kill it! It's going to be there regardless."
But why is that so? Why does a recently newly released National Endowment for the Arts study show that while public participation in the performing arts has dropped since 2008, the figure has increased in jazz? Why does jazz continue to gain momentum despite benign neglect from the culture that produced it?
Hancock believes the appeal of the music reaches beyond everyday realities of media in America.
"I really do feel that it is vital for the evolution of the human spirit," says Hancock. "If you want to call it 'the ethics of jazz,' it's an important ethic for living. You know, as jazz musicians, we play in the moment, we improvise in the moment -- living like that is very important. ... Jazz encourages you to have a desire to explore the unknown.
"So it exercises fearlessness."
It certainly does in Hancock's case, his work spanning a vast range of musical languages, often to the chagrin of some jazz devotees. Yet you don't have to be smitten with all of Hancock's far-flung efforts to value the intelligence and musical voraciousness at the center of all of it.
Or, as the Kennedy Center announcement says, "Hancock has found a way to fuse Miles Davis and Maurice Ravel, zigzagging between classical music and pop, funk, gospel, soul and the blues – not so much ignoring as redefining the frontiers of jazz. ... Freedom is at the very heart of that constantly changing, most American of all art forms, and few, if any, jazz masters have made as much of that freedom as Herbie Hancock."

Weekend at the Museum: Milestones of Flight
I spend a fair amount of time on airplanes, so I find The National Air and Space Museum exhibit featuring some of the original aircraft in aviation and space history fascinating. From the first successful airplane (The Wright Flyer) in 1903 to the first privately developed, piloted vehicle to reach space (SpaceShipOne), the museum shows us the milestones of flight. Where were you when some of these vehicles were launched?
Also, the online exhibit celebrates Sputnik and The Explorer and the first 50 years of the space age. It's amazing to see some of the inventions of the last century. I really hope you enjoy this exhibit as much as I did.

Wherever we went, we received the reception of "Welcome, welcome! You are our guest", by everyone. Food & Drink: Everything had such incredible flavor! They use only the freshest ingredients and everything is organic. Every meal was a new, exciting experience to our palettes. Architecture: The beauty, intricacy, history.

About the Bond Guarantee Program
On March 24, 2014 the Texas Education Agency began accepting applications for the Bond Guarantee Program for charter schools through the Municipal Advisory Council's website, http://www.mactexas.com.
The Bond Guarantee Program (BGP) allows for bonds that are properly issued by a school district to be fully guaranteed by the corpus of the Permanent School Fund (PSF), on approval by the commissioner of education. The guarantee has received "AAA" ratings from the major bond rating services and replaces the need for private bond insurance.
To participate in the BGP, districts must apply to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and be approved by the commissioner of education. The TEA reviews each application according to statutory requirements and State Board of Education (SBOE) rules. This review includes making sure the application is complete and accurate and the district is financially sound. The TEA reviews the district's School FIRST rating, its annual financial audit report, its accreditation status, and complaints.
Information on Applying for a Guarantee
Applications for the PSF Bond Guarantee Program are now accepted only through the Municipal Advisory Council's website at http://www.mactexas.com/.
A link to the sign-up page for the Bond Guarantee Program will be located on MAC's home page. Click that link.
Once you have been granted access to the application, you will see a link on the left hand side of the page, under My MAC for the PSF Application. Click on that link to begin the process.
If you have any questions about the online application process, please email the MAC (email@example.com) or call 512-476-6947 and ask for Laura Slaughter or Terrence Spencer.
Applications for New or Combination Issues
Applications for new or combination (new and refunding) issues are subject to a monthly prioritization system in accordance with SBOE rules. Applications that are received on or before 5:00 pm on the last business day of the calendar month will be held until the fifteenth business day of the subsequent month. On the fifteenth business day of each month, the commissioner of education will announce the results of the prioritization described in the SBOE rules and process applications for the guarantee up to the available capacity.
Each district that submits a valid application will be notified of the application status within fifteen business days of the end of the month following the application deadline.
If a district does not receive a guarantee, the commissioner will consider the application withdrawn, and the district must reapply for a guarantee in a subsequent month. Applications that were denied a guarantee will not be retained for consideration in subsequent months.
In addition, if the guarantee is granted, but the bonds are not approved by the Office of the Attorney General within 180 days (120 for applications received before July 1, 2010) of the application deadline, the commissioner will consider the application withdrawn.
Applications for Refunding Bonds With Present Value Savings
Applications for refunding bonds with present value savings that refund previously guaranteed bonds require a separate application form and are not subject to the monthly prioritization system.

The first sign something was off was when the ground crew at Kahului Airport in Maui noticed a boy wandering the tarmac, dazed and confused.

Hi all, i've been tying to install hackintosh for a few days and i have been unsuccessful to say the least... well, that's not enitrely true, i managed to get Kalyway installed on my computer, but i managed to beak it while trying to install drivers for my graphics card.
You all know a hell of a lot more than i do about this, so bear with me if i'm a little bit vague about things.
Basically what i'm asking is for a tutorial to install either iDeneb 1.2 or Kalyway 10.5.2 with drivers for the following hardware:
2.13GHz core 2 duo (E6400, don't need drivers as such, just want to make it work as a dual core if possible)
XFX 9800 GT (nvidia card, 512MB vRAM)
I think that's all i need drivers for, except the wireless drivers which i intend to install after the install.
Thanks in advance, n00bz0rz
