The metal barrels dotted across Trespasser's virtual landscape serve no purpose except for decorations and obstacles. They cannot be picked up (very efficiently, anyway) or stacked, and the player cannot jump high enough to land on top of them. There are two color variants, blue and red. While the exteriors read "Fuel", nothing will happen to the barrels when shot (explosions, fire, etc.), as one might expect in a shooter. One explanation is simply that they are empty- that, or it's just an old game. Ironically, even if the barrels are full, the game is right in not having them explode. It has been proven that fuel barrels do not, in fact, explode when shot, unless by some kind of incendiary or explosive round perhaps, such as a tracer round. The circumstances would have to be correct- the tracer would have to be fired from great enough of a distance for air friction to ignite it. Even if this factor is applied, the tank would have to be intact enough for there to be sufficient pressure inside when heat is applied to explode. This would mean that if the tank was shot by normal rounds before being hit by the tracer, the bullet holes wouldn't allow any pressure to build.

Artists, and art market professionals who deal in contemporary and modern works should already be familiar with the Artist's Resale Right Regulations 2006 (the Regulations). The Regulations provide a right of an artist of an original piece of work to receive royalties on their work when it is sold. The Regulations received a mixed reception when they originally came into force and opinion remains divided. To compound the issue the Regulations have now returned to the spotlight. The Regulations were brought in to standardise the market in qualifying states and provide a royalty to the creators of certain works. The overriding intention was to give artists a share in the escalation of their work's value as they are subsequently resold. Up to 1 January 2012, the Regulations which implement the EC Directive 2001/84/EC, applied only to the work of living artists (where all the required conditions are met). However on 1 January 2012, an exemption (known as a derogation), that had been in place in the UK was be lifted. This now means that the royalty applies to qualifying works of deceased artists within the 70 year post-death copyright period. Therefore beneficiaries of artist's estates and their heirs now stand to benefit from the royalty in relation to any onwards sales made since 1 January 2012. If not already done, art market professionals and artists need to take note and prepare for this change. This will mean that the Regulations will now apply to a much larger body of works, purported to be a fourfold increase. It is therefore likely that the consequences will be strongly felt by those working in the art market, and the impact more visible to those who look on. If you are an artist, auction house, dealer or other art market professional, there will be different implications and you should ensure that you have a plan in place. Artists and their heirs need to consider their legacy and probate position: Could they be eligible for the royalty? Has an inventory of the artwork been created? How are the works resold- where and for how much? Has a collecting society been elected to collect and pursue the royalty on their behalf? Have they written a will and made necessary provisions within it? Are there any sales which they can properly challenge for payment of the royalty? Auction Houses need to look at their existing administration infrastructure and consider: Will they be able to cope with the increased volume of qualifying works? Will they be able to fulfil their obligations under the Regulations? Do they have the necessary means in place to ascertain parties' eligibility? Art market professionals in contemporary and modern art need to be aware of their obligations under the Regulations and start planning for the changes in 2012 now. Question they should consider are: Do they operate their business from an EEA or Schedule 2 (ARR) jurisdiction? Does their method of business practice mean they would be liable to pay any royalties? Do the type of works they deal in make them qualifying works under the Regulations or will they become qualifying works on 1 January 2012? Are they administering and fulfilling their reporting obligations under the Regulations? If not, what could they be exposed to? Will their current set up and business practice be able to cope with the increased volume of qualifying works? The Regulations in their current form polarise opinion as to their efficacy and application. The removal of the derogation on 1 January 2012, means that the Regulations will be more sharply felt. Those in the art market need to start assessing their position and planning now for this change.

Scrap metal theft has been a blight on the UK economy for a number of years and is estimated to cost the country £770 million each year. The number of thefts has doubled in the past five years as global metal prices continue to rise. Police have discovered ladders, tools and vans specially adapted for stealing metal items demonstrating the lengths thieves will go to, to cash in on this increasingly lucrative trade. The epidemic impacts on a wide range of victims from rail and electricity networks to churches and private homes, some often becoming repeat victims. Artworks are now increasingly becoming the target. In December 2011 thieves stole Barbara Hepworth's seven foot high sculpture Two Forms from Dulwich Park, Southwark. While the sculpture was insured for £500,000 experts say that if the work is melted down, it may fetch a mere £750. Southwark suffered another loss in 2011 when a bronze statue of former MP Alfred Salter was stolen from Cherry Garden Pier in Bermondsey. Similarly, in 2005 Henry Moore's Reclining Figure was snatched from the grounds of the Henry Moore Foundation in Hertfordshire. Police later reported that the sculpture worth £3 million was melted down and sold off for just £1,500. For collectors and galleries this growing trend is developing into a real concern. If you have works that may be at risk you need to consider what safeguards you can put in place. What measures are the government taking? Many have claimed that existing legislation in the form of the 1964 Scrap Dealers Act is out of date and insufficient. Amid growing calls for reform, on 26th January 2012 the home office announced their plan to amend the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill. The Home Secretary Theresa May stated that the Government will create a new criminal offence to prohibit cash payments to purchase scrap metal and increase the fines for all offences under the existing 1964 Act. The Government may also introduce measures requiring all metal dealers to maintain records of all their sales and provide proof of identity when carrying out transactions. The police are also cracking down on the problem. Scotland Yard has created its first unit devoted to combating metal theft based in Bexley, South East London, one of the most badly affected areas. Meanwhile, a pilot scheme named Operation Tornado has begun in the North East of England. This 6 month project will require those selling scrap metal to provide photographic proof of identity. How can you protect your property? While the government and police are mobilising on this specific trend, owners of metal belongings- be they church roofs, artworks or gates of family homes should be looking to take preventative steps before theft occurs as theft frequently ends in destruction of the item taken. We recommend the following precautions: Maintain a detailed inventory of your property including photographs; Prevent easy access by securely fencing your property and blocking vehicular access, without vehicles thieves cannot easily remove heavy and cumbersome items; Store items such as ladders and cutting machinery in secure locations; Consider installing security systems such as Closed Circuit Television or battery operated detector systems linked to a rapid response service; Avoid placing valuable sculptures on view in grounds and consider moving vulnerable pieces from isolated locations; and Consider replacing valuable works on display with replicas and keep original works in storage.

The effect of this judgment still ricochets throughout the art industry. The case of Accidia Foundation v Simon C Dickinson Ltd [2010] EWHC 3058 (Ch) was a case brought by Accidia, the owner of a valuable drawing attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, against Dickinson, an art dealer who found the buyer for that drawing. In the judge's view, there were actually three vital players, but – inexplicably - only two were joined to the litigation. The third was Luxembourg, the third party agent who provided the common thread between claimant and defendant, having first been engaged by Accidia to sell the painting and then in turn engaging Dickinson. Dickinson agreed a sale price with the buyer of US$7 million, taking US$1 million commission directly and only revealing a net return price of US$6 million to Luxembourg. Although the judge found that Luxembourg must have known Dickinson would take a commission on top of the US$6 million being returned (as she did not share her commission), she agreed the arrangement between themselves and did not tell Accidia about any arrangement. Consequently, Accidia believed the painting had sold for their suggested price of US$5.5 million, added to which Luxembourg invoiced for her US$500,000 commission. Six months after the purchase, the buyer raised concerns over the drawing's authenticity and the actual sale price - which up to this point had been known only to the buyer and Dickinson - was revealed to Accidia. The judge held that the art dealer was acting as agent for the undisclosed principal, Accidia, and not for the buyer. He also held that Luxembourg, the third party agent, did not have actual or implied authority from Accidia to instruct Dickinson. The art dealer's commission arrangement had been fixed by Dickinson himself, without seeking or obtaining consent from either buyer or seller. Dickinson's submission that this was common international art market practice was not accepted by the judge, who was not satisfied that any custom or practice existed whereby art dealers agree a return price without informing the principle or agent of the ultimate sale price or level of commission taken. The judge went further, holding that not only was this contractual practice not customary but in fact was unlawful and unreasonable unless the fully informed consent of the seller had been obtained or the dealer accounted to the principal for the secret profit secured. Dickinson would have been well advised, the judge said, to ensure that the ultimate seller understood the net return price arrangement that it had agreed with Luxembourg. The fact that he did not left him personally exposed, though he did not find that Dickinson had acted surreptitiously or dishonestly. While Dickinson should have done more to ensure that Accidia understood the arrangement, Luxembourg was also at fault for failing to properly report to Accidia. The judge considered that it would be inequitable for Accidia to recover the whole US$1 million from Dickinson, but that it would also be unjust to allow Dickinson to keep it. Based on the evidence, the judge would have expected Accidia to agree to pay 10% of gross sale price in the present market. That 10% of US$7 million would have been split between Luxembourg and Dickinson, and as the former was paid US$500,000, Dickinson's just allowance was US$200,000. Accordingly, Dickinson was ordered to reimburse the difference to Accidia, namely US$800,000 less restoration costs of £2,500 which Accidia would have been obliged to pay), plus compound interest from the date of sale. This litigation, and the unpicking of the commission arrangements of the art dealer, could have been prevented had there been transparent, clear agreements between the parties. Coming on board as a dealer or intermediary, it will be vital to interrogate any existing contracts between the parties and ensure that your position is robustly protected by appropriate legal agreements reflecting the extent of your authority to act and your commission structure. You need to consider your position in any transaction: Are you dealing direct with the principal or are there a number of intermediary parties? What commission arrangement is in place and is the principal aware of the arrangement? Who will be paying your commission? Are you protected? If you are an art dealer or intermediary, please contact Karen Sanig or Amanda Gray to discuss how to protect your position and safeguard your business.

This will be of interest to those who hold works of art or antiques. When is it happening? On 29 June 2011 the government launched a consultation on Gifts of Pre-eminent Objects and Works of Art to the Nation. The consultation period ended on the 21 September 2011. Following this, draft clauses that implement the new scheme were included in the Draft Finance Bill 2012. The scheme is expected to come into effect in April 2012. What is happening? The Gifts to the Nation scheme provides a reduction in income tax, capital gains tax, or corporation tax where individuals or corporations donate qualifying gifts of pre-eminent property to be held for the benefit of the public or the nation. A gift that qualifies for the tax reduction must be registered and accepted under the scheme set up by the Secretary of State. Jointly owned property is not eligible for the scheme. Trusts, trustees and personal representatives are also not eligible to apply. How would the scheme work? If an individual makes a qualifying gift, then a proportion of that individual's tax liability for the relevant year is deemed to have been paid, thus reducing the individual's tax liability for a relevant tax year. The tax reduction available for an individual making a qualifying gift is equal to 30% of the value of the qualifying gift. The individual can elect whether to apply the reduction to income tax or capital gains tax. The individual can also choose whether to apply the tax reduction in the year the offer is registered or spread the tax reduction across the succeeding four tax years. The individual must decide during the year that the offer is made exactly how he/she plans to allocate the tax reduction in advance of each relevant tax year- therefore one cannot say that one plans to distribute £400,000 of the tax reduction over 5 years without specifying exactly how much will be used in each year. If a corporation makes a qualifying gift, the tax reduction available is 20% of the value of the property forming the gift. This must be applied in the year the donation is registered. Such donations will also be exempt from capital gains tax and corporation tax. What is a pre-eminent gift? The definition is tight in scope and is set out at paragraph 16 of schedule 1 of the Draft Finance Bill. It includes pictures, prints, books, manuscripts, works of art, scientific objects or any other thing that the relevant minister is satisfied is pre-eminent for its national, scientific, historic or artistic interest. This definition is intended to reflect the definition which applies for the Acceptance in Lieu from Inheritance Tax Scheme (s230 Inheritance Act 1984) but it excludes land and buildings. The decision as to what falls into this definition will initially rest with a Panel of experts appointed by the Government. If the Panel believes that the object meets the requirements it will recommend the application to the relevant minister. Generally, the relevant minister will be the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport. However if an object has a strong tie to Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales the Minister of that country will be involved in the decision. What institutions can accept an object under the scheme? The Department for Culture Media and Sport defines an eligible institution as any museum, art gallery, library or similar institution having as its purpose or one of its purposes the preservation for the public benefit of a collection of historic, artistic or scientific interest. Donors may suggest an institution of their choice provided it meets the approval of the Panel. The transfer of the object to the Institution will be subject to the Institution agreeing to certain conditions, including agreeing to insure the work, to maintain the work in good condition and not to sell the work without the consent of the relevant minister. How will an object be valued? Applicants will provide information regarding the object's estimated value. The aim is to ascertain what price the object could reasonably be expected to fetch in an open and unrestricted market. The applicant should provide valuations supported by substantiating evidence. Annual Limit The gifts of pre-eminent objects scheme coupled with the acceptance in lieu scheme will exist under a cap of £30 million a year for both schemes. Therefore the annual reduction in tax liability accepted under both schemes cannot exceed £30 million in each tax year. How does the scheme change the status quo? There is presently no similar tax relief available for lifetime gifts of pre-eminent objects to the nation. The Inheritance Tax Acceptance in Lieu scheme applies to gifts of pre-eminent objects from estates, and operates in respect of Inheritance Tax only. There is also no philanthropic element to the Acceptance in Lieu scheme. How has the government integrated suggestions produced during the Consultation Period into the Draft Finance Bill? Many organisations criticised the proposal that the Pre-eminent Gifts scheme would operate under the same £20 million budget as the existing Acceptance in Lieu of Inheritance Tax scheme. The government has responded to this complaint by increasing the combined annual cap for the two schemes by 50% to £30 million. The initial proposal also suggested that individuals would only be entitled to a tax reduction equal to 25% of the donated object's value. Critics felt that this was not a sufficient enough tax incentive and accordingly the government has increased the tax reduction to 30% of the donated object's value. In addition, having suggested that the scheme would be only be open to individuals the government are now allowing corporate donors to take advantage of the scheme. Only time will tell if the new scheme succeeds in meeting the Government's aim to encourage philanthropy and support charitable giving. The Government has emphasised that this is only the beginning and it will continue to monitor the scheme to ensure its success.

1. Cut a 3-1/2 inch length of wire.
First Loop
2. Grasp the wire, about 1-1/2 inches from one end and bend until the wire forms a ''V'' shape. Put the briolette onto the wire from the longer end and slide it close to the bend in the wire.
3. Grasp the other side of the wire, about 1/4-inch over from the hole in the briolette. Bend the wire until it crosses the first wire, forming a triangle.
4. Grasp the shorter length of wire where it meets the longer wire at the top of the triangle, then bend to the side so it is angled to the left or right of the briolette.
5. Grasp the longer wire where it meets the shorter wire at the top of the triangle, then bend so the wire is straight up from the briolette. The angles of the triangle should now be nice and sharp.
6. Place the tip of the chain-nose pliers across the triangle section, below the bend. Using a pair of round-nose pliers, grasp the end of the wire and wrap it around the straight length of wire above the bend, making approximately two tightly-wound wraps. Trim any excess wire then press in the cut end with chain-nose pliers.
Second Loop
7. Hold the round-nose pliers horizontally and grip the wire directly above the last wrap you created in Step 6.
8. With your free hand, bend the tip of the wire to form a 90-degree angle. Place the pliers into the angled section vertically so one barrel is above and one is below the wire. Bring the wire up and over the top barrel of the pliers so it is now facing down at an angle.
9. Reposition the pliers so they are horizontal again, with one barrel in the loop and one out and to the right. With chain-nose pliers, or your free hand, grasp the tip of the wire and direct it behind the length of wire extending below the loop you just created.

First off, I am 58 and my hair is about six inches below my shoulders. I usually wear it in a ponytail low on the back of my head, and I don't have bangs or tendrils or anything like that. So it feels neat and tidy. The odd time I wear it down in loose waves/curls. It is in dandy condition, nice and thick and shiny (probably the best it's ever been, since I used to torture it with perms and colour and curling irons, etc.) It is brown with two white streaks from the temples and some white sprinkled through the rest of it.
Anyway, I was in a store the other day and there were two young girls, and they didn't seem to be paying any attention to me, but suddenly one of them said, quite loudly, "What looks more ridiculous than old bats with long hair?" I was surprised and about to leap to my hair's defense, but I have an optimistic streak, so then I thought, "Oh she didn't say it to hurt my feelings, because she doesn't think I look like an old bat."
However, the comment keeps niggling away at me (and it takes quite a lot of sink through my carapace of indifference to what anyone thinks), but now I wonder...does long hair look ridiculous on old bats? I mean, some styles for sure, can't see myself in spikes ;) . But if it's tidy and not in and of itself ridiculous-looking? (Part of the problem being that I don't see myself as an old bat to begin with...my figure is as good as it ever was, for what that's worth, I think I still look nice -- JMO though, might be subjective)...
Leaving that out of it, in general, what do you think in all brutal honesty? Does long hair look ridiculous on old bats? :o
I'm 62 and my hair is past my shoulders (tsk tsk) and I love it! I always wear it up in a chignon or a french twist and finally, no more bad hair days.
I had short hair for most of my adult life and was just almost never happy with it; never go the right cut, too short, too long, etc. etc........
So here's to all the old bats with long hair... :applaud:
remembered the tag line from an old Oil of Olay ad -
"I will not grow old gracefully ~ I will fight it every inch of the way"
Sounded good then, and it still sounds good to me !
Well, gals! At sixty, nature and natural progression has reinforced that it is essential to embrace that outer mutton ( NOTE: not mullet) The only hint of lamb in me is the haircut reminiscent of the Jean Seberg pixie cut she wore in Breathless. This suits, as it is a little far from the typical old lady perms so beloved by my mother's generation. My hairdresser reassures that not many older women request this tight perming look. Thank God it's acceptable for us oldies to think and act outside conventions. :applaud:
I did not have the Shag but I did hair "Lady Di" hair in highschool :laugh: :laugh:
I did the Jennifer hair as well yrs ago :laugh:
Homebody---I never knew about the drapery weights in bellbottoms before!!! :laugh: :biglol:
Well I hear you. Coming from a time when "don't trust anyone over 30" was a given and the only mom who wore pants was Laura Petrie we have to adjust the beliefs we gathered as kids. The difference now is we have role model women like Cher & Tina to name only a couple of the hundreds, who didn't buy into the traditional aging. They didn't buy in and neither should the rest of us. Boomers keep going forward saying 'we won't go" when it comes to acting or appearing like stereotypical old folks.
So you go with what suits you, not what is expected because of some number. If long hair works for you stick with it. If your hair is getting thinner or doesn't suit your face shape, or you want another look, you change it. I think there are lots of way to remain in style and current so you can look good at any age vs trying to look an age you aren't (thinking here of those who have no business in the youth section of the clothing store). The trick is not to get stuck I think. We all know people who still have the same style they had 20 years ago and that, to me, is too bad as sometimes it only requires a little tweak to bring the look into what is happening now but that's more a matter of looking current than a particular age.
my girls....they are honest but not nasty....as soon as my spikes start to grow out and my hair starts to look like a q tip, they say, "mom its time for a haircut" and when i come home after my cut, they comment that i now look younger again... :laugh: honestly, i think they are after show money or a sleepover. :D here is my spikes...likely not as wild as you would imagine...the hair color changes from time to time... :laugh:
not a problem, never thought it was a direct hit at me . . . and it's not REALLY REALLY spikey, just soft spikes; I have a friend who is 51 and she wears her mostly bleached, longer on one side than the other, and with a red (and, boy doe I mean RED !!!!) streak in it ... can't ever forget her once you've met her.
I think at 50 we should be old enough to please ourselves and to heck with what anyone else thinks . . . .
Oh you guys...pixie cuts, shags...all too vivid in my memory. I hated my pixie cut when I was a kid and loved my shag. It was one of the only cuts that really worked with my hair. The other one was like a Prince Valiant and I can't remember if that was before or after the shag.
A couple of years ago I had a chuckle going to a young hairstylist who thought this 'new shag' cut would work with my hair. Having to explain it wasn't 'new' and been there done that wasn't one of my happier moments.
As for those rude little girls..consider the source. Between them they probably have 5 or 6 whole years of experience following fashion and are totally focused on youth. meanwhile, if their comments are still weighing in you might want to seek out the advice of a stylist for comment.
I have heard that comments/insults never bother us unless we actually think there is some truth to it. So if someone came up to you and said you looked fat and there were times you thought so too, then the comment would hit you. If you knew you weren't fat, never even considered being fat an issue, then you'd dismiss it instantly and probably forget it altogether. So, if this is bugging you, maybe it hit a nerve you hadn't really realized was exposed but consider the source.
For 15 years I wore my hair a little longer than chin length, straight, with bangs...my hair turned silver WHITE when I was 39 (used to be copper red). Three years ago I decided I needed a change and got what us "oldies" used to call a shag haircut...everybody said it looked great, but, it was so much work. Prior to that, I could literally wash and blow dry and go; but when it was short, I had to use mousse, wash it daily, get it cut almost every three weeks and EVEN had to put in a few rollers as it started to grow out. I've spent so much TIME on my hair, it's ridiculous so I've been letting it grow in (with the odd trim to keep it neat) and by mid-Fall, It should be back to chin length. Go with hair that suits YOU and your lifestyle and don't worry about what some immature kids think!
Beauty Is In The Eyes Of The Beholder ;) :d
What are you talking about ..WE ARE STILL YOUNG !!! :biglol: :laugh: :biglol: :laugh:
:biglol: :biglol: so true, didnt we all think we were going to be young forever!
I am over 50 and I wear my hair long mostly pulled back in a ponytail as I need to keep it off my face out of the way for work. I do wear it down when we are going out and I color it as I have been going grey since my mid 20's. To be honest I have no idea what color my hair would be if I let it grow out but that's not going to happen. I could care less what the kids think and I sure don't feel or look old so I am going to wear what I want.
You have to smile because these 2 young girls will too be 50 something one day :)
Do your own thing ...who cares what people think.
it is your hair and if you love it the way it is, then you dont worry what anyone has to say. :mad: Im 43 now, I had long hair until about 9 years ago....i decided i had enough and went short and i mean short and yes with spikes :laugh: and sometimes a plum color. I found because i have a small framed face the long hair dragged me down, I have no regrets going short, but the important thing was....it was my decision! Hair style is a personal choice, long or short has nothing to do with age IMO...it has more to do with what style you feel suits you and what you are comfortable with. Hey, no worries about the spikes remarks....i like my spikes but its not for everyone :laugh: So girl, you just continue on with your hair as you see fit. :)
You can wear your hair however you want it, and who cares what other people think!! If YOU like it and it makes YOU feel good, then leave it just as it is!!
I don't know of any "rule" that says older women can't have long hair -- and if there IS such a rule, well, rules are made to be broken :)
Homebody - don't you wish you could say something like "bad manners are much worse than bad hair" but then you're oviously too well mannered to set these ignorant, little b*tches straight. I hope they were 'muffins'. And I wish I'd seen John Wing. Now I'm going to have a hard time getting that distinguished thought out of my head.
As for your hair there's no hard and fast rule. IMO, I've rarely seen a woman over 40 that looks good with hair to her waist but that's not what you have. And I've seen lots over 40 with healthy, flattering hair past their shoulders, and some with silver pixie cuts. It's what suits the individual. If the comment is starting to bug you now why don't you ask your hairdresser if she thinks you need a change.
:o Oops-there's that shoes-on-the-brain affliction I have showing itself again. When I see the word spikes I think heels. This is not as bad as when I've jumped in on conversations about thongs. :laugh:
Some people's kids eh, wonder what those girls mothers look like? Those people in the pics above are celebrities, and they are able to spend a lot of money on their body, and you men find them attractive too for many obvious reasons
are just that, young and immature "girls". I would not worry about what THEY said, that's for sure. :)
:confused: Ok did I miss something did someone mention about wearing heels?? :laugh:
Brutal honesty should be taken with a grain of salt. You have to consider the source. In this case, if by chance it was a rude and nasty comment for your 'benefit', it came from brats. Enough said about them. That's not to say that brutal honesty coming from somewone that loves you is without ulterior motive, like when my mother told me I should never wear my hair long because I "have no neck'. :laugh: As bang-on as she was about that, her comment was to convince me that the pixie cut I desparately wanted to grow out was best. NOT! As much as long hair may not be best to someone with a short neck as my mother says, it's no excuse to parade around 2 kids with unusually large heads with the shortest pixie cuts around. When that movie Dumb and Dumber came out, I swear the guys looked just like my poor sister and I did! (but I think WE have bigger heads)
You can't please everyone, so you may as well please yourself. I'm mid-forties, and my hair is a little on the long side. I've never found a short cut that I feel comfortable in (brings back pixie thoughts!) so I keep it a little long. I've decided I look rather terrible with it pulled back or in a ponytail, so I don't wear it like that out of the house, unless I am in the garden. I do keep it up off my face while I am at home with clips from the dollar store, and if the mailman or someone elxe shows up unexpectedly at my door, I will not apologize for my looks. I've been seeing the same stylist now for a few years, and although I have not yet got the perfect signature look with the perfect face-framing cut I am after, I'll keep at it and know when I find it. Oh, and about the heels: I'll keep wearing mine as long as I can still walk in them. If someone doesn't like it, TOO BAD.
well I have been wondering about this very thing myself. I will be 40 in the spring and my hair is long ( to bra strap) It is in very good shape as I do not color than a few highlights around my face. ( no grays yet lol) Alot of people think I am younger than I am ( I think it is due to being overweight now lol "fat plumping out the wrinkles) Most of my friends are in their early 30's and it is funny as one talks about her sister to me and says how old she is ( the sister is younger than me lol)
But I have to be honest and I do see some older woman great looking etc but I think their hair is dragging them done a bit and would look Fabulous and younger with it just a bit shorter or more framing etc.
I am going to get a chunk of mine cut off as I was looking at a picture from last yr( my hair grows really fast) and I looked younger with it shorter to tell you the truth.
You probably look great asks some of your close friends and family to give you a honest opinion.
But talking about older women what and what they should not wear I think clothes are a big topic.
I see a ton of great looking and great figure older women that wear too young and trendy clothes ( you know like the teenagers, Paris Hilton etc) I find it defines the meaning of "cougar"
Renovator I see some awsome older woman in spikes esspec. gray ones!! :D
I think you should wear your hair how ever you like it! So there... LOL
Those girls don't know what they are talking about. They should be ashamed of them self for being so rude for no reason. Were they perfectly dressed? and totaly in style? I very much doubt it. Most younger girls dress very trashy JMHO, I have a very hard time finding clothes for my 6 YEAR old daughter that are not trashy, that cover her up and dont have things like Princess writen on the butt of pants... I think that is a much bigger problem than you having long hair (not that you having long hair is a problem)
Here are a few "50 somethings" with long hair. If they are considered old bats then..... BRING IT ON!!!
hold those horses a bit lol I am 51 and have spikes !!!!!!! so, no, long hair on a YOUNG bat does not look silly - I know women older than you who have longer hair thatn you, wear it in curls and flaunt it, so keep your tail on ! :biglol:

Heres a little soundboard i made for salad fingers episode 4.
Took me a while to get all the sounds, Please read the directions and also take a peak at the little backround animations.
I am not the creater of salad fingers, david firth is...you may visit him here www.fat-pie.com
Rated 3 / 5 stars March 10, 2009
A bit average soundboard
This wasn't a very exciting soundboard.
It could use more variety of sounds.
Plus other music.
The design was okay.
But it just didn't feel salad fingers-ish.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars July 7, 2008
Not bad but not good either.
There was already a Salad Fingers soundboard with phrases from a lot of the episodes not just episode four but i understand fans all (well most) wanna show their love,what i didn't like about this though for the most part is the fact you gotta hold the mouse button for the phrase to speak so you couldn't go to two phrases on the back to back quickly also being that it was just from one episode there wasn't that many phrases either,nice layout but not that great of a soundboard.
Rated 4 / 5 stars February 24, 2008
not bad
needs some more sounds, and its Bordois not Bordwas.

Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
We report that two-dimensional (2D) sub-diffraction-limited images can be theoretically reconstructed by a new metamaterial far-field superlens. The metamaterial far-field superlens, composed of a metal−dielectric multilayer and a one-dimensional (1D) subwavelength grating, can work over a broad range of visible wavelengths intrinsically. The imaging principle and the reconstruction process are described in detail. The 2D sub-diffraction-limited imaging ability enables more applications of the far-field superlens in optical nanoimaging and sensing.

I first tried the Mooncup a few years ago and am so glad that I did. It's a soft rubber cup that fits inside the vagina, and collects menstrual blood. It's very easy to insert and remove (instructions are provided and there's a website with loads of useful information), and once in it's so comfortable that you can't tell it's ...

I confess, when I opened the packet and saw the size A (over 30, after vaginal birth) mooncup, I was somewhat daunted. It definitely didn't look like it was going to fit comfortably at all! However, I was persuaded to try it by the huge money saving potential (£17 over ten years as opposed to many, many times more than that for tampons) ... Read the complete review

Pads are not for me. I find them uncomfortable, I am constantly paranoid that they are visible from the outside, they cost a lot of money in the long-term, they contain chemicals that I'd rather keep away from my nether regions, and then they get incinerated or sent to landfill.

I puchased my Mooncup about 2 years ago and haven't used tampons at all since. I do actually love it! WHAT IS IT? A Mooncup is a resuseable silicone cup which is worn internally to collect menstrual blood. WHY? There are several reasons for using a Mooncup rather than pads or tampons: 1. ...

I always used tampax and was always happy with them before I suddenly developed TSS and ended up in hospital and told never to use them again. I liked the freedom they gave them and felt as though during the five days when my period came it was horrible. I hated pads they didn't give me the freedom I was used to as the swimming and ...

First off I was pretty apprehensive about using a mooncup and if you are one reading this trying to decide if the mooncup is for you I felt the same way as you do now not so long ago. I read reviews not only on Dooyoo but on several different online sites and the majority of verdicts are really positive but there are the odd bad ... Read the complete review

Menstrual cups have been around since the 1930s, but only in the last few years has advertising started to pay off, as women have become annoyed at the costs of regular sanitary protection and concerned about the effect of it on their bodies and the environment. The Mooncup is one of these menstrual cups, about two inches long with a ... Read the complete review

If you're fed up with spending a fortune on sanitary products and don't like lugging them around in your bag, this could be the one for you. -Quality- Hardwearing silicon that is easy to disinfect, and will last for years. -Ease of Use- The product takes some getting used to (probably around ...

~Finding the Mooncup~ I was in Boots the chemist two weeks ago whilst having a visit from my dear "Aunt Flo" and was amazed by the variety of sanitary products there are and of these there are maybe 1-2 reuseable/biodegradeable alternatives which although more expensive are actually the way forward in my honest ...

The Mooncup is a handy little product, which I feel makes periods more interesting than normal! I first heard about it a few years ago and remember laughing hysterically with my housemates about how disgusting this sounded and how unhygienic. However, when talking to friends who actually used the Mooncup, I sceptically ... Read the complete review

I remember first reading about mooncups in a ecocatalogue, I had a little giggle about the thought of how gross it would be to boil it clean at the end of your cycle. But in the last year more and more of my friends converted to mooncups, so I decided last month to give it a go! I felt a bit weird selecting my size ... Read the complete review

As a vegan I've been dithering about a mooncup for some time but having read peoples reviews on here I decided to take the plunge and order my mooncup. I found one at vegan.co.uk which gave me the lowdown on its ethical and green qualities. Although I have only been using it for a couple of months I am getting used to it. I am a bit concerned with the festival season coming up, wether it will be practical to use there, maybe I'll take my usual tampons just incase.

After hearing about the mooncup on a forum, I was eager to buy one and try it out. For £19.99 I thought it was a little expensive but the packaging says it's supposed to last for 7 years. The mooncup comes in 2 sizes, A and B. One is for women who haven't given birth and the other is for women who have. I think I bought mine around 3 ... Read the complete review

I was keen to use the mooncup as I suffer from heavy periods and was sick of changing my tampons and pads every hour, and spending so much money on them. It does take a little getting used to, but after a couple of months I decided to stick with it, and have used it happily for 7 months or so. The cup is bigger than a ... Read the complete review

I tried the mooncup because I thought it would be convenient and eco-friendly. Unfortunately the second time I used it it got so stuck that I had to go to the emergency room to get it removed. The first doctor couldn't even get it, they had to get the senior doctor. Apparently this can happen with tampons too. I think I may have cut the ... Read the complete review

Wasn't keen on it at first then I decided to try it out after reading how cheap, eco-friendly and seemingly how easy it was to use.

I read an article on the Mooncup about 4 years ago and although I was a bit sceptical, I thought I'd give it a go. I've always hated having to spend money every month on sanitary products and also, I've never liked the idea of the effect that all these waste products have on the environment. The Mooncup seemed like a good ... Read the complete review

Having read stories about tampax and sanitary towels bobbing about in the ocean, I was excited to read about the mooncup. However 17 pounds seemed a lot of money to spend on something that might not work for me. But eventually I decided to be brave and give it a go. Inserting it wasn't too bad but getting the stem the right ... Read the complete review

May Gil rest in peace. I'm sorry he left this world the way he did, with the pains of seeing what he saw. I realize he was trying to defend his honor in the only way his excruciating pain allowed, and I realize this would not have happened if others were not disloyal and rubbing their wrong doings in his face. I defend Gil's honor as a father and a husband whose heart was torn into by someone's treachery, dishonesty, disloyalty, betrayal, and wrong doings. These people are beneath Gil.
PUMA, There are many who disagree with you. IT DOES NOT MATTER whose gun it was. The INTRUDER was sleeping in GIL's BED. It wasn't long before Gil was Baker acted that SUPPOSEDLY he and his wife were SLEEPING together in their bed. IF the locks were changed, how did he steal a key? Um let's see, It doesn't matter, he got in! IT WAS HIS HOUSE REGARDLESS of a restraining order. They provoked the hurt man. EVERYONE knows they are the GUILTY ones for their BETRAYAL! She knew how HURT, Gil was. We all have emotions just like you are mad and replied to my comment and just like I think and FEEL that GIL's WIDOW IS WRONG, and I don't care how you try to change it around to make GIL look bad. I do not blame GIL for being HURT by his wife's treachery, disloyalty; I do say Gil is wrong for not handling the situation better. Wrong is Gil's wife to provoke. In my opinion, she is beneath Gil. My opinion and feelings are not right or wrong they just are. This goes for everyone. All this would have been avoided and they would not have to kill, excuse me, defend their lives from a man who was defending his honor in the only way his excruciating pain allowed. I am defending Gil's honor as a husband and a father whose heart was broken into. You totally disregarded what went on BEFORE GIL WAS BADLY HURT by his wife's treachery. You disregarded the reason GIL's wife had him BAKER ACTED. HE WAS HURTING because the woman WHO SUPPOSEDLY LOVED HIM was CHEATING ON HIM, nicer words, SLEEPING with the intruder in Gil's own bed no less! SHE should have divorced before she cheated and HURT GIL. She and her lover are the GUILTY ONEs, she showed JUST HOW MUCH SHE LOVED GIL and THEIR DAUGHTER and her lover showed just how much he cares for their daughter. LOVE SURE CAN HURT! Things might have been different. Oh, but not the feelings. The feelings of hurt, betrayal, disloyalty, and whatever else, would all still be apparent, but if the INTRUDER was found out before she wanted a divorce then maybe GIL would have KICKED his CHEATING WIFE out of the house! Of course, these are what if's, which I'm sure GIL's MOM is saying as she painfully mourns the loss of a son she loved and cared for. If his wife knew Gil was hurting, WHY did she continue rubbing it in, BECAUSE THEY ARE SO SMART? Gil's widow will probably end up cheating on this so called boyfriend or him her because this usually happens to those who are cheaters. She wanted a divorce and it doesn't matter if Gil found out about the cheaters before or after she wanted the divorce, what matters is, she cheated and provoked Gil by allowing her lover to sleep in Gil's bed. Rest in Peace Gil and I hope the ones living find a way to live in peace if they have a conscious.
Corrections, she got Gil's gun from the police. I know Gil lost his temper and should not have gone over to his house, but he is human, and turn the tables, how would you feel!? TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT! Gil had a good heart and HE LOVED his daughter and his daughter's mother (wife); how could Gil's wife have a married man sleep over? If she knew Gil was hurting, hell Gil bashed her lover's car up earlier in the day, what is her lover doing still spending the night in GIL'S BED; why did this happen, why RUB this in GIL'S face? Gil did not deserve to die, and not by his own gun by a married man who was sleeping with Gil's wife in Gil's bed!!! According to those who know the couple very well, Gil just received a restraining order in February, Gil's wife knew Gil was upset because she wanted a divorce and she was having an extra marrital affair before she wanted the divorce. Gil's daughter was his world and has lived with her mom and dad for 12 or 13 years...GIL should not have wasted his time, just for his wife's lover to kill him with Gil's own gun in Gil's own bed, which was probably still filled with Gil's scent.
It sounds like she was inviting trouble. He did not deserve to die. Why did she get her gun from the police, why didn't her sleepover partner shoot below the belt to hold Gil off until the police got there, and WHY didn't she CHANGE the LOCKS, and why did her sleepover spend the night, and why did her sleepover partner shoot Gil with Gil's gun that Gil's wife got from the police after she baker acted Gil, and where was Marget's gun, the one Gil bought for her? It sounds like a set up to me, WHY, I want to know if she egged Gil on? How dare she have a married man sleep in her HUSBAND's BED and where is Gil's phone, and HOW did GIL know his WIFE was sleeping with a married man, did the 32 year old married man tell his own wife he was having an extra marrital affair? There a lot of questions...
I have had my share of DCF and their incompetence. They truly DO NOT CARE. My son's half-brother died at 10 years old because of their incompetence. I called them to investigate, and next thing I know he dies from the second attempt of taking his mother's prescriptive drugs. I feel he was seeking attention, help, the only way he knew how. His mother was abusive and this is why I called. His name was Chad. He died in the little clinic in Polk County. That clinic was sued because one nurse told the other nurse to send Chad back to his room. He is only looking for attention and he was here before for the same thing. When the nurses made their routine rounds to each room, they found Chad dead. Chad's mother was devastated. She sued the clinic. I not only BLAME the nurses and Chad's sick mother, but I also BLAME FAMILY SERVIES!! Chad could still be alive if HRS, DCF, did their job to begin with. Family Services means that they are supposed help the family. Many times they take the child, and instead of giving them over to a family member that the child loves and is used to being with, they give them to complete strangers who in return abuse them or kill them. This is one reason why we need PARENTING as an ACADEMIC CURRICULUM. There will be less dysfunction.I called DCF about my grandson. I call him my sweetpea and he said his name was A.$.$.HOLE. I could not believe what I heard. Then he opened up and told me other names he was called. My grandson was 4yrs old at the time. DCF went to the wrong house when they went to investigate, and then, when they finally did their half way job, they asked leading questions and only found that my grandson was called "A LITTLE PUNK," and told his mother that I told my grandson to say his mother called him those names. I couldn't believe it! I still have what he said on tape to prove my case. I also tapped him latching on to his daddy pleading to stay with his dad. His mommy stood there and just laughed. To this day, my grandson doesn't want to go to his mommy's. His mommy is still angry. She still needs help. But NO ONE LISTENS TO ME!!!!! I didn't even call for DCF to take my grandson away from his mother; as a matter of fact, at that time I didn't know DCF was the same as HRS. I would have never called if I knew this. I wanted them to give help to my grandson and his mother. In my grandson's case I know that his mother loves him. She is angry and is an Adult Child of Alcoholism. I thought that The Department of Family Services meant FAMILY SERVICES. They are supposed to HELP the FAMILY!!! My grandson is MY FAMILY!!!!! He is an extension of me. Start listening to grandparents, especially loving honest ones like me.
One minute we are living on Earth and the next second we are lifeless. Life is short and we are just a small bit in the Vast universes. How much we think we know. We seem to assume all the time. When I LOOK out at the UNKNOWN I realize how much I DO NOT KNOW. Have you met GOD, or is there an intelligent being, beings, creator, creators, of our VAST UNIVERSES? Do you know if there is life after death on this little tiny planet that is full of so much we DO NOT KNOW? This tiny little planet to most of us is very LARGE. Does limiting our sites to this tiny planet mean we are thinking inside a box and not outside the box?
Bless your family. All of you are always in my thoughts and prayers. All of you are courageous and have a wonderful high spirited attitude despite what all of you go through. I admire your spirit, courage, and love for one another.Truly,Connie Koehler
