I have well, what I say is horrible, distressed, dry, over-processed hair, tends to frizz out more often than not and this shampoo, along with the conditioner does really smooth my frizzy hair down. I love it!!

Instead of writing 3 separate reviews I am going to review the Shampoo, Conditioner and Humidity Defying Leave in cream. One word for 3 products HORRIBLE!!
Know that before you use these products it is going to make your hair greasy, flat and the smell is terrible. The leave in cream smells like crayons and I am not kidding. It didn't control the frizz in my hair at all. It left my hair color brassy looking, flat and greasy. I had to rewash and dry my hair and at that point it still didn't come out of my hair. I am going to stick with my Sleek and Shine products which leave my hair the way I want it frizz less and manageable. I wouldn't even give it 1 rating if I didn't have to... BIG FAT ZERO. It took almost 3 days of washing to get this product out of my hair and back to normal.

Im in the search of shampoo and conditioner to ease my fizzy hair without breaking a bank. After reading some great reviews, I gave this a try. I've used this conjunction with their conditioner.
This worked pretty well the first time I used it, after that it didn't work well anymore. I don't know what it is as I havent changed anything else on my hair, but that's what this product did.
The good thing about this is I loose less hair than usual shampoo. I think its to do with sulfate free formula.
The texture is very runny and often I would pour more than required. The squeeze bottle makes it worst, I had to store it upside down to avoid any accident spill.
No plan to repurchase it given there was no help on fizzy hair.

I bought the travel size shampoo and conditioner to try out. Both smells good, the shampoo is sulfate free, the conditioner is silicone free, and unfortunately one of the worst shampoo and conditioner I have ever tried. The shampoo does not lather well and the conditioner was not "heavy" or "creamy" enough for my wavy, thick and dry (regularly coloured to hide greys) hair (likely because it had no silicones). Post wash, my hair felt even more stiff, dry and possibly made my waves stand out even more! Couldn't wait till another

My hair is ombre'd and so the ends of my hair are super dry, brittle and feels like a stay of hay.
After using this shampoo my hair feels very smooth and silky. There is absolutely no frizz in combination with the conditioner. I usually have to use this twice when I shower because of all the product in my hair. After that, my hair feels very clean and looks shiny. I love that it's SLS free because I am allergic and they dont test on animals with this line of haircare. I would definitely purchase again.
Only thing though is that the formula is very runny and so the product comes out of the packaging almost like water...no big deal for me though since the formula works wonderfully on my thick Asian hair :)

This shampoo is very moisturising to my hair! The texture is thick and it is creamy. It foams up quite a lot but the suds are smooth and makes my bdry hair feel so nourished. My hair is overprocessed and hence, the hair ends are dry and frizzy. I have no problem controlling frizz with this shampoo! I mix and match this shampoo with a keratin conditioner and it works great! Will be trying their conditioner from the eversleek line soon!

I bought this shampoo because of what it promised and the smell, which I LOVE, but find that it really weighs my hair down and on many occasions even after intense rinsing I'm still left with a patch of un-rinsed shampoo somewhere on my head that looks greasy and feels disgusting. The smell stays in your hair which I love, and the conditioner is wionderful, but the shampoo, not so much. I think the problem lies with the formula being so thick; either that or I have no idea how to properly rub shampoo into my hair (which is possible).
I don't find that my hair is any more sleek than usual after using this product, and if it is it's because of the weight of the formula's residue on my hair. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I definitely don't use it every day.

The worst "shampoo" I have ever used!!! Hair greasy the next day (I have dry hair). Does not lather AT ALL like the other sulfate-free Loreal shampoos. Called Loreal to check if it was a faulty lot- conditioner instead of shampoo, very rude customer service, told it doesn't lather as sulfate free, even though directions on bottle say "masage into a thick lather". Still not sure if it was faulty, told to take it back to the store and have them check. Definitely will not buy again. RUBBISH!

This is okay, but for me it doesn't smooth my hair or control frizz. It lathers quite well and cleans my hair, but it didn't do much else and I wanted to see some results from some of the anti frizz claims.
This is worse than I thought. I realised it was making my hair greasy, almost leaving a residue after I use it. Gross! Wouldn't repurchase.

This shampoo sucks.. And i'm not really easy to disappoint.
My hair is thick, wavy-ish and naturally dry (and damaged).
I thought this shampoo would be perf and I bought the conditioner too. The conditioner is okay (but weird in consistensy), but this shampoo is sooo bad. It leaves my hair dry, but greasy at the same time. It doesn't lather no matter what, and it leaves my scalp fealing sticky!!! I like the no sulphate consept, but it just doesn't work here.

On January 1, 2012, Flynn started the final game of the season against the Detroit Lions. He threw for 480 yards and 6 touchdowns in the 45-41 victory, both of which set all-time Green Bay Packers records.

Tiger Woods 'incredibly gracious with media,' caddie asserts
I am going to go out on a crazy limb and predict there will come a day before 2009 expires that Tiger Woods' story is not featured on the front page of the New York Post.
But today is not that day. Make it 16 days in a row and counting . . .
Speaking of Woods, I heard the most amusing quote of this saga when ESPN last night played a clip of caddie Steve Williams being interviewed on New Zealand television:
"In all the 10 years that I've caddied for this guy, he's been incredibly gracious with the media. He's never not committed himself to the media. And he's been great.
"He makes one mistake and they run all over the guy."

Southern Gardening: Use Cajun hibiscus to spice up the landscape
Several years ago, a new group of tropical hibiscus exploded onto the market with vibrant and exciting colors -- a Technicolor dream.
Thirty-eight fantastic selections of Cajun hibiscus, bred and released by the Dupont Nursery in Louisiana, feature colors ranging from bright yellows to pinks, reds and whites. Some of the more spectacular blossoms are those with color blends and those with bright red eyes.
The size of the flowers can be unbelievable; some blooms are wider than nine inches across. One of the most interesting features, especially to plant geeks like myself, is the arrangement of stamens and pistil, which are unusually prominent and colorful.

At the plate: Jeff Baker's two-out single in the bottom of the 10th drove in the game-winner against the Dodgers in Las Vegas. Carlos Pena had two hits, including his second homer in three days, to go with pitcher Braden Looper's two hits against the Diamondbacks in Scottsdale.
On the mound: Carlos Zambrano allowed one run — on a two-out single by Rafael Furcal in his final inning — during another strong five innings in the Vegas game. Looper had his best outing of the spring in Scottsdale, going 32/3 innings without a walk before his pitch count ran out.

An Update and a Question
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 09-21-2010 - 3:09pm
Hello all,
I've been an occasional poster and answerer here and wanted to provide an update.
Our 2 twin sons are now 29 months and doing well.
|Thu, 09-23-2010 - 4:56pm
Thanks for the replies!
Both boys are really laid back, so burning out doesn't seem to be an issue. They have fun with all the therapists and look forward to it.
|Wed, 09-22-2010 - 2:23pm
I wouldn't worry about the conflict between the two therapies. I will note that ABA has the better scientific backing at this point, but that's just because not a lot of research has been done on floortime. I say "Throw the kitchen sink at them and hope something does the trick".
As for which therapy you personally engage in when you interact with your kiddos, do the one that feels most comfortable to you and lie to the therapists about it. You have to do what is comfortable for you - and be the mom too.
I"m glad your little guys are getting lots of therapy - early intervention helps a lot. It's great that it seems that they are making progress already. Hopefully they'll wind up high on the spectrum, if at all, by the time they hit school age.
Keep us posted!

The magnitude-6.0 earthquake struck around 3:20 a.m., and for some awakened residents the temblor revived memories of the last big quake to strike the San Francisco Bay Area 25 years ago, which did major damage.
Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for Napa, Solano, and Sonoma counties. Schools in Napa Valley were ordered closed Monday.
Mike Parness, city manager, said 15 or 16 buildings in the central downtown were "red tagged" after inspectors found damage left them too dangerous for people to enter. Several dozen other buildings were awaiting further evaluation.
"We've got a lot of workers out checking out homes and buildings,'' Parness said.
In the city's downtown section, a 10-foot chunk of brick and concrete was shaken from the corner of the old county courthouse building. Big pieces of rubble littered the lawn and street in front of the building.

A thorough flushing of the lower intestinal tract removes any harmful bacteria that may have built up in there. It will also leave you feeling refreshed, and removes the uncomfortable feeling of 'fullness'.
Starting the day by having an enema will usually prevent you from the bother of a messy diaper. A wide variety of solutions may be used, including coffee and herbs. Coffee, herbs, etc that are administered as an enema react much quicker and more powerfully than if taken by mouth. Try taking your morning coffee through 'the other end'.

The award is the fourth award for the engine series since its debut in January 2010.
MILWAUKEE – Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power's Vanguard single-cylinder engines with its TransportGuard system were named the 2010 Innovative Product by RER magazine in its "engines/power sourcing" category.
Competing against the other 10 category award winners, Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power's newest engine series also received the magazine's Silver award.
"We invested significant time and effort to understand our customers' biggest challenges and engineered single-cylinder engines that addressed them," said Dan Roche, marketing manager with Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power. "This recognition is yet another sign that these engines and the TransportGuard system have met those needs."
The four Vanguard single-cylinder engines boast gross horsepower ratings ranging from 5.5 gross hp to 10.0 gross hp. The engines include many new features specifically designed to address worksite challenges cited by end-user customers and OEMs: heavy dust, lack of regular maintenance, filtration issues and oil dilution during transportation.
Most notably, the engines include an integrated switch, called the TransportGuard system, which Vanguard engineers designed to simultaneously shut off the ignition and the fuel. This patent-pending innovation ensures that fuel stays where it belongs and helps eliminate fouled plugs, hydraulic lock, cylinder wash down and crankcase oil dilution caused by transportation.
The Innovative Product Award was established in 2003. This year the awards honored the most innovative products introduced in the rental equipment industry between Aug. 1, 2009, and July 31, 2010.
This is the fourth notable award for the engine series – and TransportGuard system – since its debut in January 2010. The awards include the Energy Zone Award sponsored by Speedy Hire at the 2010 Executive Hire Show, the 2010 World of Concrete Most Innovative Product, Power Equipment Trade's Dealer Choice Award, and the 2010 Rental Equipment Register's Innovative Product award.
More than four dozen new products vied for the top spot at the annual event.

10 Ways to Gain Recognition for Your Projects and Your Students
Those of us who are involved in the National History Day program know it is an exciting educational program with numerous benefits for students. While there are thousands of us who share this knowledge, millions have never heard of National History Day. For students to gain the recognition they deserve, National History Day must increase its visibility in communities across the country. Publicity is critical to increase visibility. While the national office has been successful in garnering a fair amount of media attention, the real action is taking place in classrooms and in district and state competitions. Therefore, local and state publicity is extremely important in bringing the National History Day program to the forefront. We need your help to spread the word about National History Day and gain recognition for the work your students have done. The following are ten public relations strategies. These strategies can not only generate publicity, but may also lead to funding sources for the student's trip to National History Day:
Media Relations
1. Write a letter to your local newspaper editor
2. Write a press release and send it to your local paper
3. Write an opinion editorial for your local newspaper
4. Call your local television or cable access station and tell them about your child's project. Send them a press release if you have one. You can find a sample here:
National Contest Press Release Template
Community Outreach
5. Display your child's project at a local school board meeting
6. Ask your bank if they will display your child's exhibit
7. Ask your employer if they will display your child's exhibit in the lobby
8. Ask your local library to display your child's exhibit
Other Recognition Outlets
9. Write your District or State Legislator and tell them about your child's success
10. Post pictures of your student's project on a web site
To be effective at generating publicity, compile the following Student Press Information:
--Preferred phone number to contact student prior to the contest
--Where are you staying during the contest?
--Best phone number to contact you during the contest
--Name of Local Paper, contact name and phone number

The U.S. Open is a boring golf tournament, run by boring people, won either by boring golfers or by creative golfers not afraid to be boring. The U.S. Open is also, by far, the game's most significant test of golfing skill, run by some of the most knowledgeable people in the game, played on courses that are the most demanding in all of golfdom and often won by the most complete golfers who have ever played the game. Try on this foursome of multiple winners: Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods.
It all makes you wonder about Phil Mickelson. He's been talking lately about getting himself on that multiple-winners list. He'd look good there. But to do that, Mickelson—who turns 44 on Monday, June 16, the day after the final round of this year's Open at Pinehurst No. 2—needs to join the club of the 39 living men who have won at least one U.S. Open. And when it comes to U.S. Opens, one is huge. (Just ask Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson.) Especially when one would make Phil the sixth golfer to win the modern career Grand Slam.
How is it possible for one man to have finished second six times in this one tournament? Is it its name? Is it the demands the tournament puts on its winners? How will the report that he is part of an SEC-FBI insider-trading probe affect his golf? What do more ordinary golfers, like Andy North and Lee Janzen, each a two-time U.S. Open champ, know that Mickelson does not? What can we—and Phil—learn from all those near misses?
And will this be his year?
Sure, this could be his year. The U.S. Open is back at Pinehurst, where Phil won his first runner-up prize, in 1999, when it was just a novelty for him. Really, it was his best chance for victory of the 23 U.S. Opens in which he has played. Unless you consider Winged Foot 2006 his best chance. Or Merion '13. Or Shinnecock '04.
As for the two Bethpage seconds, they fall short of the true near-miss test. They were most remarkable for the fan-Phil relationship, in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks the first time and of wife Amy's breast-cancer diagnosis the second. He wasn't one swing away from winning either one.
Of the six, Winged Foot is the one most remember best, and with the most painful clarity. That's because he came to the 72nd hole on Sunday needing a par to win or a bogey to get into a playoff, only to make double with the whole world watching.
In discussions about Mickelson's six silver medals, some Philologists refer to the Big Three: Shinnecock, Winged Foot, Merion. (Pinehurst 1999 serves as the sort of ultimate spring training game in this saga.) But one faction argues that Winged Foot was so deeply weird, it must be put in a category all its own. That's because at Winged Foot, Mickelson was hitting the ball so erratically that it was a miracle he came to the final hole with any chance at all. The closing double was a cruel joke sent down from on high by Hogan himself: Do you really think you can play 71 holes like that and win the national open, fella?
At Pinehurst, Mickelson played something much closer to U.S. Open golf. Hogan, the greatest of all U.S. Open players, invented the phrase fairways and greens, if not by word than certainly by deed. Fairways and greens has characterized every golfer who has won the national championship. Hale Irwin (three wins), Retief Goosen (two), Lou Graham (one), all fairways-and-greeners. Through his career, in and out of Opens, that concept has often been foreign to Phil.
But at Pinehurst, Mickelson found his inner Hogan, or his version of it. On Sunday he hit a Hoganesque 12 of 14 fairways and a respectable 11 greens. He shot a boring U.S. Open round of even par, with 16 pars, a birdie and a bogey. He did almost everything right, yet it was not enough. Payne Stewart made an 18-footer on the last to win by a shot and avoid a playoff that Phil said he would not have attended anyway.
All was not lost. Far from it. Other golfers—Big Jack as an amateur, Watson as a kid pro—had lost before winning. Mickelson was 29 then, and Amy was at home, their first child due any day. Mickelson's caddie, Jim (Bones) Mackay, was carrying a baby beeper, and Phil was ready to walk off the course the moment it beeped and fly off to a distant maternity ward.
That might sound like an enormous distraction, but for Mickelson it had the opposite effect. It was almost like giving a stimulant to a person with ADD. The scope of what was in store for him at home made the task at hand, playing world-class golf in a U.S. Open, relatively easy. With that in mind, weird as it might sound, could the SEC-FBI investigation help Mickelson focus this time around?
Lee Janzen, who won the 1993 Open at Baltusrol and the '98 Open at Olympic, said in an interview last week that he suspected for many years that he had ADD and sometime in the past 10 years he confirmed it. He believes his friend Payne Stewart, the winner of the '91 and the '99 Opens, was "ADHD to the max." He said he sees ADD traits in Phil, and he thinks it has helped Phil's golf.
"The person with ADD gets bored quickly of the thing that doesn't interest him but gets really, really focused on the thing that does," Janzen said. And focus, Janzen said, is what he did for the 552 shots he took over the 144 holes he played in his Open wins. There was not a moment of letup. Mickelson, he said, is thisclose to doing that. "Just every once in a while," Janzen said, "there's a shot that's like, Where was I on that one?"

Comments about Roxy knotted up boardshorts:
I got these board shorts since I needed some to wear surfing the Flow Rider simulators. In the midwest we have no ocean so check out some you tube video and laugh away friends that get a real beach. Haha. I live in Indiana and LOVE the beach and sports. These board shorts are fantastic. The waist is elastic with a ruffled like top to NOT muffin top anyone, the skinny, thicker, or curvy gals. There is a draw string to tighten up when wet OR loop a rash guard loop in front since they are front tie. The sides are soooo cute if you are just trying to cover your bottom up and keep your bottoms on yet be cute. You can't wear these solo or with panties. You MUST wear a bikini bottom under. However, these are soooo cute and so comfy, I wear them around theme parks with waterparks all day long. Totally double score. Overall comfy, works well wet/dry/surfing/sporting/casual. I am a tall skinny girl very very very hour glass. Whether a size large or small, I can't imagine this boardshort not helping EVERY female look her best. Not too short for those of us tall, or if we have some slight cellulite imperfection even. The length is perfect for all. The very stretchy elastic, ruffled top, and drawstring creates a low rise waist to flatter ANYONE that wouldn't have a gut hanging over. They won't muffin top you. In fact, for the sake of dry & WET I recommend ordering one size SMALLER than your Roxy swimwear bottom. I wear a large, and a medium needed when worn in some (wide hips here even though 5'8" and 115 lbs - yes, a large bikini needed). I wear a medium and have tried on a small which worked and didn't pinch either. It is a matter of how much I wanted the sides to be open. I recommend one side smaller than your Roxy bottoms though. I have black and coral. I want more! They are my all time favorite and I hope Roxy keeps making them! Cheers!

I'm in love! White florals and I have had a spotty history (I think the last time we meshed was Marc Jacobs back in 2002). But this, for me, is it. It's not too sweet, not too powdery, and not too old. It's the Goldilocks of florals for me. The drydown and eventual weardown is consistent- no weird, cloying after-glow, just a lovely scent that gradually fades away. Definitely great for daytime and even office wear.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I so wanted to love this fragrance. I love the bottle and after reading all the reviews I was convinced I would love the scent - a pretty, feminine, wear-to-work floral. I'm sure it is all those things to someone, but it just isn't for me. For me, this is a stinging, headache-inducing rose. If you love Stella, this is probably for you. I need something a little softer with a touch of sweetness, so I'll stick with Coach as my pretty, feminine, wear-to-work floral.
I went nuts for this after smelling it on a scent strip in a catalog, but the actual perfume was a disappointment. I wore it during a sunny day while gardening. Chloe is a pretty floral - clean, transparent and girly, though perhaps not as classy as it's lovely, be-ribboned bottle. But Chloe's nondescript and utterly synthetic character (think shampoo) clashed abruptly with sun-warmed petunia petals carried on the fresh spring air. Chloe is, I guess, a fantasy of a sunny spring garden dreamed by a girl who doesn't like to go outside - a pubescent vision of cartoon flowers in a world where plastic ponies and pastel butterflies dance under a florescent sun.

The best perfume I have ever smelled. This will be the perfume I use forever. I do not like strong scents / citrus / musky. This is light and gorgeous. Expensive but worth the treat.
Chloe is powdery-citrus-iris-rose-musky perfume that would at first
seem to be a high-end classic in its own time. But on me, it just
goes "off" and does not work for me at all. Reminiscent of Prada
Infusion d'Iris and White Linen. I do love the bottle and adverts though.

Where do I start? This might be the fragrance of my life, actually I'm hesitating between this and Vera Wang (original). I flirted with it for like 3 months before actually buying it as it is really expensive; ended up getting the EDP 30 ml bottle for 56 10% off.
The first time I sniffed it, it automatically reminded me of a bed with clean linnen sheets, love it for its pureness, elegance and for some reason I feel really clean and fresh wearing it. Love the bottle, the scent lasts all day long on me and what I do notice is that it won't change after hours.

Chloe 2008 EDP is gorgeous! It's the first perfume that I fell in love with at first sniff. It's a soft, powdery rose and I find it suitable for all occasions. I spritz the underneath of my hair once and it lasts all day. It is pleasant, non-offensive (unlike my bottle of Flowerbomb) and doesn't punch anyone in the face when I walk into the room. It's so beautiful and I feel pretty when I wear it. Along with Jalaine Silk, this is one of the most complimented perfumes I own.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This perfume is so beautiful. The smell is light, powdery, flowery. I love the packaging, it is just so cute. I just recently got this perfume. I bought a deluxe perfume sampler from SDM and picked out this one as my "free" full size bottle from the assortment. I think this will be a favourite for sure and would rebuy it as an eau de parfum (I have the edt) at some point.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
While it's an absolutely gorgeous scent, i find it doesn't last too long. It's also VERY expensive for a perfume.
the scent IS very clean, fresh and gorrrrgeous though!
I am writing this review for the INTENSE version of the Chloe edp. I have been looking for a long time for a perfume I can wear daily and also as a soft evening scent. I have tried many and some have no staying power and are gone in 2 hours and others are so heavy they make me feel ill. Chloe Intense is a beautiful medium weight perfume. It is soft and sexy, and reminds me of something I might have worn when I was younger (white musk -wild musk?) although it has a lot more going for it than just a sweet smell. It has depth too, and the scent has immense staying power, but not in a cloying way. It just lingers beautifully and I can still smell it in the evening after spraying in the morning, and sometimes a little the next morning too. The rose is a proper wild rose smell and the pink pepper may be what reminds me of the musk, but it is light and pretty and does not make me gag like other musky scents. It has a slight oriental feel which makes it more womanly than girly. I beg Chloe, please keep this as a permanent addition to the perfume stable. I am hoping it is not a limited edition, as for me this is my daytime HG.

BCC means Blind Carbon Copy. It provides a way of addressing messages to more than one person so that everyone's address is not displayed for all to see. ALL email programs, including the web-based email services, allow you to address messages using BCC. In other words you can "BCC" one or more recipients when sending a message. Some require that you provide at least one address in the TO: field before sending. If this is the case with your email client (program, application), place YOUR OWN email address in the TO: field. Keep your recipients' addresses in the BCC field.

Michel Francois Kiln Opening Event
Saturday 21st September 2013 / 3pm to 5pm
On Saturday 21st September, West Cornwall based potter Michel Francois welcomes the public to another of his ever popular kiln opening events. Visitors will be first to enjoy the unique results of this firing and see his elegant porcelain emerge warm from the kiln.
This new collection of studio pottery showcases the luminous, translucent beauty of Celadon glaze, in subtle duck egg blues inspired by Korean and Japanese porcelain, imperial yellow, and milky white satin glazes inspired by the Sui and Tang dynasty.
Pieces range from bowls and serving dishes to wine cups and flower jugs alongside statement pieces such as tulip vases, fine jars and larger works.
This event will coincide with the launch of the new range of contemporary porcelain designed by Francois' for Espressini Artisan Coffee house, Falmouth.

Hello All
I would like to let you know that this summer in collaboration with the Leach Pottery and the St Ives september festival we have launched the first even Cornwall Ceramics Trail !!
Check out the new blog to view the vibrant talent west Cornwall has to offer.

I thought it good to post a few more images of what is on offer regarding my new work.
The Last Firing before the Cornwall Design Fair 2013
Why do I have FIRE written on my back? I think it may be time to open..
But not that much too hot.. I think Metin is right this is mission accomplished.
Many Hands make light work..
Firing on all burners for the Cornwall Design Fair ...www.cornwalldesignfair.co.uk

The Glaze Mystery..
When I first started working with ceramics I thought glazes were not interesting, being way too bold and fat, hiding the purity of form and the pulsating quality of the wet clay.
For many years I turned to sculpture and thought ceramics too limiting as I felt the glazes stifled the form.
Then seeing the ancient Raku bowls, the Sung and the Chosun Pots, I realised how mistaken I was!
I then tirelssly tryed to make glazes that could generate an emotional response.
Ceramic surfaces, like fabric are limitless in their appeal..
I believe their very nature is somewhat 'mysterious' and can trigger wonder, and emotion.
I believe pots can hold an 'essence' .
glaze is like skin- the interface- the point of contact drawing the viewer in, inviting us to touch..
In this case a sensual milkyness, something soft that seems palpable, fluid, tender yet firm.
based on my reseach into the ancient White chinese glazes.
I don't think I will change much to it now. Probably my finest glaze!
Philippe m'a envoyé une photo d'une dégustation de Long Jin en Herbe ..
East meets West
Sung Dynasty - Timeless & Contemporary..
I thought you might all enjoy a bit of writing about what makes Sung Ceramics so fascinating.
Like the sculpture of Constantin Brancusi, these ancient pots seem to capture so much essence in their simplicity. With the Korean Chosun dynasty pots, made at about the same time, they never seem to loose their grip on me. I've been sucked in .. and will forever continue to be inspired by them.

GREENCASTLE, Ind. – A Chicago couple is giving $15 million to DePauw University toward a plan for better preparing musicians to market themselves and reach broader audiences.
Judson and Joyce Green are both graduates of the private university in the central Indiana city of Greencastle. The donation announced Friday follows another $15 million gift they made in 2007 toward construction of DePauw's current music school building.
DePauw officials said the school's 21st Century Musician Initiative aims to give student musicians more training in business skills, audience development and entrepreneurship so they can adapt in a rapidly changing music industry.
Judson Green was an executive with The Walt Disney Co. and later was CEO of Chicago-based electronic mapping company Navteq Corp.

In Leparoux's short seven-year riding career, he has amassed a resume of accomplishments one might expect to find from a thirty-year veteran rider including five Breeders' Cup wins, numerous Grade 1 stakes victories, and countless riding titles. However, the Kentucky Derby is one victory that continues to elude the Eclipse Award winning jockey. Saturday he'll be aboard Union Rags, the second choice on the morning line, as the colt breaks from post position four in the Kentucky Derby.
"I think it'll be fine," said Leparoux of his post position. "On the outside we've got two speed horses [Take Charge Indy, post 3, and Bodemeister, post 6], the main two speed horses, outside of us. I think we'll be okay. We just have to break good and see how we come out from the gate."
Leparoux, who rode Dialed In, the post time favorite, to an eighth place finish in last year's Kentucky Derby, hopes Union Rags will be his ticket to a Derby victory.
"He's definitely my best mount that I've had for the Derby, so it's the best shot I have," said Leparoux. When asked if he thought his chances with Union Rags were better than with Dialed In last year, Leparoux responded affirmatively. "I hope we can get the win and we definitely have a great shot and we just need some luck and that's it."
After the Derby, Leparoux will move his tack and his home to New York. Leparoux has resided in Kentucky and has been a staple at the Keeneland and Churchill Downs meets since emigrating from France seven years ago.
"Just for the business, I have to go there and I'm very excited about the move to New York, but I definitely will miss Kentucky too."
Leparoux's become a jockey that everyday fans seek out when visiting the track, so he'll be missed by the Lexington and Louisville locals.
"I'll definitely be back and forth," said Leparoux. "Back for stakes races, probably mainly in Keeneland and just at Churchill for the week of the Derby. Hopefully I can be back as much as I can. I love Kentucky."
One might think Leparoux would relax after a hectic Derby weekend, but he'll be back with a charity event Derby night before he takes time for himself.
"After the Derby we have a charity event for the disabled jockeys," said Leparoux. "I'm going to go to that and then win or lose, I'm just going to enjoy myself and be with my family. I've got my fiancée, my mom came from France, my future mother-in-law came from California, so spending time with them is good."

iPad alert: Are you a selfish elite or an independent geek?
Thus spoke a 'selfish elite' earlier today: "I think I'm kinder than the survey suggests. Tough love, largely." Apple iPad owners tick all the obvious boxes when it comes to the kind of crowd Cupertino has happily been wooing with its fondle slab since launch in March this year. They're six times more likely to be "wealthy, …
Hotness? That will likely be a dodgy battery.
You have your iPad. I'll have my life.
Get out and live a little instead of drooling over a <strike>piece of technology</strike> toy..
Apparently, you don't..
have a (sex) life, if the article is to be believed...
"you already know how to use it" from the advert
I walked up to my boss and my opposite number (does the Winblows stuff.) They were stuck trying to get it to do something. I said, "but you already know how to use it..." and went for a coffee.
I can see that my kids might like one. The older one could land Harold on it and the other one would love to chew on it.
When the battery is flat someone could use it as a poor vanity mirror I suppose.
How humorous. You must be the office joker.
I walked up to my boss and my opposite number (does the Winblows stuff.) They were stuck trying to get it to do something. I said, "but you already know how to use it..." and went for a coffee. Alone. Again. <-- There, fixed it for you.
Love it
Quality put down my friend.
"and went for a coffee. Alone. Again. <-- There, fixed it for you."
You know, the kind of people who would like me only because I pulled out an iThingy at the coffee shop aren't the kind of people i have any interest in spending time with. If you like me, you should like me for me, not how much money I make, or what toys/clothes/cars/whatever I buy.
iThingies are great because they are a good way of avoiding a certain type of vain and self-interested person. Not so much because the people with the iThingies are vain and self-interested, (in truth I find only about 40% of iThingy owners are bad enough to make me irritable,) but more because you know to avoid those who form the clucking "cloud" of folks that surrounds them.
While I can't speak for anyone else, in my experience, that cooing mass of money worshippers tend to be people that set me on edge.
I'm not a fan of iProducts
. . . but the original poster in this thread came off as a colossally arrogant douchebag and deserved to be put down.
Down with Apple!
Talk about ...
... stating the obvious.
They're six times more likely to be "wealthy, highly educated and sophisticated. They value power and achievement much more than others. They're also selfish, scoring low on measures of kindness and altruism/"
In my world the flowery language wouldn't be heard, they'd just be known as selfish turds who value form more than substance. Their mothers would be so proud.
I read it initially as the shellfish elite.
It definitely made more sense that way.
I for one welcome our new exoskeleton wearing, Echinoderm overlords.
Meh <- My view of the iPad
I'm almost certainly a "geek" although my "independence" is probably questionable - I guess, since I'm a Linux fan, I fit their profile but I haven't used a Fondle Pad in-anger yet either because I can't see a use for it in my life.
I don't own any Apple products, I don't like many of them (iPods are very impressive but I don't want a separate device) so I'm probably resistant anyway but if I want a web-browser while watching telly I use my phone (similarly while out-and-about). If I need more screen-area I'll move to a computer. At what point would an iPad be a good move ? If I absolutely need to do it on-the-hoof I can (on a small screen but at least I have Flash supported). For the minute percentage of times I must use a big-screen (but not Flash) I simply have to wait until I'm not out-and-about - I certainly wouldn't want to carry another device round for this purpose.
Who is the 'Pad aimed at ? I would imagine those that carry laptops around do so in order to use more computery functions - they're unlikely to want another device either. Sure it's sexy but... where does it fit ?
I did notice the BBC Grand Prix team use one in the pit-lane - I expect they've moved what would have been on their clip-board onto it allowing it to be updated live by the production crew (and give access to race-track IT facilities) which is a good-use. It's fairly specific, though.
iPad - Sports uses
Apparently Stuart Pearce used one during the World Cup too. Presumably to show real-time stats about the players or to help in making tactical decisions. Looks like it worked a treat!
You could be on to something here. Are there any actual decent uses for the iPad where a Internet enabled phone/laptop wouldn't surface/offer more functionality?
Well, I had to ask Steve whether owning an ipad made me an asshole...
"Yes, your an asshole. Not that big a deal.
Sent from my Flying iCar"
But being unable to tell the difference between your and you're makes you an idiot.
I am so sick of the haters! I only ended-up in the comments section out of force of old habit, I don't generally read them any more.
You don't like the iPad? Don't buy one!
People aren't listening to your stupid provincial opinion and are buying iPads? It's not because you're the only one to see your vision of tech utopia, 'oh if only others could see the world as I do, their tiny blinkered lives would be so much better'. It's because you're an idiot (see my initial point. 'Initial' means 'first' by the way; you seem to need help with the language), and your opinion is invalid.
@Tim Hale
At least your rant doesn't make you sound irrational, that's the main thing.
So Much For Surveys
I am "interested in video games, computers, electronics, science and the internet", I don't own a single polo short or pair of jeans and I wouldn't be seen dead in a pair of 'sneakers' but I own an iPad.
I also think all this fanboi nonsense (in either direction) is pretty tedious in the main.
"quantitative qualities"
Anyone else spot the oxymoron?
(Mines the duffle coat with the penguin in the pocket)
"They prize self-direction, shun conformity, and are interested in video games, computers, electronics, science and the internet,"
"iPad Critics do tend to be young men. To add even more colour: they tend to have no children and little interest in family."
"One of the strongest single indicators of being an iPad Critic is a preference for the Linux (a do-it-yourself operating system for super geeks) over Windows or Macintosh."
For someone that shuns conformity, I conform scarily close to their profile of an iPad hater. I do have one spanner to throw in their works, I still love my iPhone 4...
iPad is not for geeks
In general, stuff from Apple isn't for geeks, its for artists and normal consumers.
The price of the iPad is more than I want to pay for what I want from a mini tablet, but I'm sure there are lots of consumers who would be (are) happy with it.
The whole Apple elitist attitude has bothered me since a young age when that other kid (now an artist) "who was reading Time magazine when he was 5" demonstrated it with an Apple II.
Power users versus Consumers
> In general, stuff from Apple isn't for geeks, its
> for artists and normal consumers.
Yes. It's not for people that want control of their own multimedia. It's not for people that want control of their own photos. It's not for people who are organized and have their own ideas about how things should be sorted out.
It's not for people that want to optimize video for every little last bit of quality and compression or just might want to play some oddball bit of content that they found on the web or got from friends or family.
"artists" indeed.
Apples are "consumer" devices that are fine so long as you are cool with the limitations.
This is where something like an overgrown ipod turns off geek. It's not about how this tech has been given to the masses. It's how LIMITED it is and how restrictive it is. I can't just connect to the device directly and add and remove things. I need a special proprietary app that's terribly crude and limiting in it's own way.
"geek" used to be someone that wrote their own stuff or built their own stuff.
Now it has been redefined to the sort of person that installs Plex on a Mac.
You asked the question:
"Meanwhile, not all the Reg hacks at Vulture Central have properly fondled an iPad yet. So what does that make us?"
Immune to hype. A fine effort sirs.
because you are yet to be sober?
"Meanwhile, not all the Reg hacks at Vulture Central have properly fondled an iPad yet. So what does that make us? "
Just a possibility. :o)
I know
Someone with an iPad and he sure fits into the 'selfish elite' box since he's the factory owner's son.
Nothing he likes doing more than wandering around the place with his iPad trying to look important, which is why I written a special routine into one of the robots that it will snatch it up and jam it into a 10 ton power press if the stupid git leaves it lying on the bench near the robot.
As for El reg's iPad, surely you can forgo a lunchtime drinking session in order to save enough money to buy one of your own?
The factory owners son?
They really can be the worst of the inept. Try not to think too much about that 10 ton press when he's around - you might do something you regret! Har,har.
GWB Quote
That GWB quote is taken from the Al Smith Dinner - an event where the Presidential candidates joke and banter for the evening. Poor form from El Reg to quote it completely out of context..... especially when there are myriad legitimate examples which could be used!
Re: GWB Quote
Yes we know, dear. He was such a jester.
This title is required, and contains letters and/or digits.
They appear to have taken a picture of me, stuck it on the wall and said "This is an iPad critic." I even have Ubuntu installed on one computer but I prefer Windows 7 for the GUI and gaming. Now please excuse me while I adopt my tin-foil hat.
Full Disclosure
"Meanwhile, not all the Reg hacks at Vulture Central have properly fondled an iPad yet."
Leading to the obvious question: How many of you have improperly fondled one?
... so what does that make me?...
I'm a geek, I used to shun conformity, then decided I just couldn't be bothered trying so hard to shun conformity that I ended up conforming to non-comformity.
Now I just don't care.
I'm not selfish. I just got an android based phone. I have a MacBook Pro, a bashed up ubuntu based laptop & use windows at work. It's all good.
If someone *gave* me an iPad, I'd enjoy tinkering with it till I got bored. I just can't see it being useful to me.
I admire it as a polished bit of hardware with an excellent GUI. I don't hate it, don't love it, couldn't care less.
Whilst I'm a geek, I enjoy gardening, dead-tree books, walking, photography.
Hmm, I think I just ticked a lot more geek boxes there ... ;)
I also have a life, so that's a box unchecked.
That's the problem with these polls - tiny market segment + people lie.
... also, as a 40-something, struggling to pay bills bloke with a partner, but no kids, I don't actually fall into any desirable marketing demographics...
... which is really rather wonderful.
Make mine granddads pad & pencil ... I'll get my coat...
RE: ... so what does that make me?...
... A well balanced individual I'd say.
You sound a bit like me. When I was younger, I would be what you'd call a typical geek. Shunning conformity, not giving a damn about popular music/fashion etc. Then when I entered my early 20s, I started to care about things like that (probably because I was trying to get a girlfriend!).
I now feel that I'm a well rounded bloke, my geekiness from the past has helped me get a good job that I enjoy, the conformity from my early 20s has given me a lovely girlfriend and 2 gorgeous kids.
I still have linux on my pc. I still watch Sci-Fi, and I still build PCs and I am usually the first port of call from friends or family when they need an IT expert (or at least someone who can fix something without having to pay PC world to do it).
Like you, if I was given an iPad, I'd have a play, enjoy messing around with it (trying to find ways to customise it like a geek would), then get bored of it and forget about it.
An iPad user must have good imagination...
...whereas I don't. I can't imagine a single use I would/could have for an iPad.
sex appeal
Angelina Jolie is SO sexy... she reminds me of an ipad.
Made entirely of synthetics and appealing to the mass market?
Meh, outliers
I fit the 'hater' profile - although, actually, I loathe Linux, the real open source is BSD - but I love my ipad, it has virtually replaced my home computer. Yes, it's an oversized, overpowerful ipod touch, but the increased size makes it actually usable for all sorts of things. I've read more books in the month I've had it than in probably the last year.
Yes, it's locked down, but you have an awesome browser and being a web programmer, I've written many many web apps utilizing the increased size of the fondlepad. No-one ever bitches that their monitor isnt open source, or that they want to jailbreak their keyboard. For me, its an interface to cloud systems, including my own cloud.
Uber geek? No friends? Yes, but that was true before I had an ipad.
Really Really bad analogies...
> No-one ever bitches that their monitor isnt open source, or that they want to jailbreak their keyboard.
Monitors and keyboards are PERIPHERALS. They are IO devices you plug into a computer. They aren't the computer. They don't need to be jailbroken. They already conform to the relevant industry standard for devices of their kind.
I don't need to "crack" my monitor to allow it to work with FreeBSD.
I would have to do that to allow an iPad to work with FreeBSD.
If you haven't jailbroken your iThing, you really don't know what you're missing. There could be some killer app out there calling your name but you will never hear the call. You can't because you've chosen to stay inside the garden.
It's all true, I love my iPad. I'm also wealthy, successful and value power. It means I'm the one that gets to palm off the shit jobs to the typical lowly IT gnomes that post bitter anti Apple rants on the Reg.
Man, I love doing that shit.
But lack of kindness? Not true, I positively adore kittens and puppies.
I too am wealthy, successful and powerful. I use a PC - and I've shagged your Mum.
The "self-direction" comment is interesting.
I suggested to an iPhad owning friend that he must have voted Labour, since he prefers to be restricted in what he does by someone else and that nanny looking after him is better than finding out for himself.
He wasn't impressed (in fact he got quite upset), largely because he fits into the category of wealthy, educated and appreciates power. He is though, to be fair, quite friendly.
And also a staunch Tory. That's probably what upset him.
Amusing language guffaws
I love some of the factors for belonging to a group criticising the iPad are being interested in computers, electronics and the Internet. :-)
And as a Lintard, this kind of BS always annoys me:
"Linux (a do-it-yourself operating system for super geeks)"
Uh-huh. As well as phones, in-car systems, networking kit, half the Internet's infrastructure, etc, etc, etc... You know, all that shit you non-geeks use every day?
@ Greg J Preece
"half the Internet's infrastructure" is kind of stretching it. After all, the BSDs are more popular than Linux in the high-end networking gear.
I'm not complaining...
... this is probably the first, last and only time in my life I'll ever be called a 'super-geek' :)
It would be ungracious not to be flattered even if it's outrageously wannabe optimistic. Cool!
""half the Internet's infrastructure" is kind of stretching it. After all, the BSDs are more popular than Linux in the high-end networking gear."
I didn't do a survey and come out with precisely 50.0%... It was just a phrase!
Attribution, please?
Where and when did this happen?
... George W Bush, who once said:
"This is an impressive crowd: the Haves and Have-mores. Some people call you the elites. I call you my base."
I would love to be able to use this quote, but I would also want to defend using it as being both accurate and in context.
Here you go...
It's like Google never happened...
Jury is out
I own an IPad because we got given them at work. I have mixed feelings about it and I definitely think they are over priced.
For me at the moment the killer app is as an ebook reader. I generally read big tech books so they are lighter and have the benefits of things like search, colour etc so the reading experience can be better than paper or e-ink readers (subject to reading indoors)
They are useful for casual browsing when looking stuff up but not as good as a laptop for serious work
The email client is appalling. I am trying to use my ipad in meetings instead of a laptop because it is less obtrusive but I have to say I struggle if I need to refer an email.
I do use it for the notepad application fairly successfully. Typing is almost as quick as on a laptop and it is nice to have electronic notes ready straight after a meeting without having to type them up.
Overall - interesting but not worth £500. I think £200 is probably the right price
Click Tarts
A quote from the orginal MyType authors' website: "MyType is a personality based social networking application that allows you to explore your personality using several popular personality assessments such as the Jung Typology and and a survey with questions drawn from the International Personality Item Pool. Please keep in mind that MyType is an entertainment service and is in no way a substitute for the services of a psychological professional. You come to MyType to have fun and, perhaps, to learn a little bit about yourself and your friends."
Another soft-science statistician's meaningless drool-fest, but this time linked to a commercial site. Why is it so hard for even 'professionals' in this field to come up with good science? Perhaps they are not taught cause and effect - Like if you have the traits "wealthy, highly educated and sophisticated", and "value power and achievement much more than others" and are "selfish, scoring low on measures of kindness and altruism" you actually have money to spend. Are you likely to have made an effort to makea lot of money if you are "interested in video games, computers, electronics, science and the internet"?.
I run a couple of Debian boxes, a MacBook Pro and an iPad. so I must be a wealthy/sophisticated/selfish/independent/young geek. What might get up some geeks' noses, is that when this retired old/fat/bald slob whips out his iPad, it (but alas, not me) is a girl-magnet.
The iPad is lovely. It, or its successors, are likely to be what most people will actually use.
Jake Humphrey has an iPad
He carries it around with him during every Formula 1 race, although he never seems to use it...
