Good afternoon boardies!!! I hope everyone is doing well these days. Today is just kind of a lazy day for me. I do plan on getting out and going to Walmart later on today, but for now I'm just going to sit on my couch and watch DVDs and paint my nails, something I enjoy doing. Tomorrow and Sunday I'll be out with some friends. Sunday night I plan on going to Mimi's Cafe with a good friend of mine. Plus I haven't been there in a few yrs and now I live almost walking distance from it, so why not go, and I let her pick where we'll eat Sunday night. I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Busy, busy!!! Yeah, that sums things up real nice. ; )
So what do you have going on this weekend?

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Tweaki…for Power Users
The phrase, for Power Users, evokes strong feelings. Attach that description to anything computer-related and the product achieves "must try" status. Tweaki…for Power Users jumped from "must try" to "must buy" before the fourteen-day trial expired. The creators of ProFILER 2000 (another dream utility that saves your laboriously customized system and program settings), JerMar Software, really came through for tweak junkies with their latest offering.
From the day I approached my Apple IIe, circa 1980, default system settings just would not do! Trial and error became common practice along with full system restoration. Years later when Microsoft® offered an early version Tweak UI, the name alone attracted me. As Windows® operating systems advanced through new versions, Tweak UI somewhat kept pace. In fact, Microsoft® included compatible versions of this utility on their first offering of the Windows 98® and Windows 98® Upgrade CD-ROM, accessed by browsing to the disk's Tools folder. For some unknown reason, the utility was omitted from Windows 98 SE® versions.
Tweaki…for Power Users takes Tweak UI to a new level. This 32-bit shell management tool enables, according to JerMar, the possibility of over 250 changes to your Windows 95/98/NT4/Windows 2000® operating system. The small download (3.25 MB) and painless installation process took only minutes, including the mandatory system reboot. Unlike Tweak UI, this utility places shortcuts on the start menu. Access through Control Panel remains the domain of Tweak UI, which I left on my system, just in case this new utility did not live up to JerMar Software's claims. I discovered, upon opening Tweaki, the custom settings chosen in the older Microsoft utility flawlessly transferred to the new one.
Not just a tag line, user-friendly perfectly describes the point and click interface. Upon first encounter, Tweaki appears as an improved clone of the other utilities mentioned. Within moments, the wealth of options available made apparent the depth of this utility. Delving into the Advanced options brings renewed significance to the word, tweak. Accessibility to many settings previously customized through Regedit, MSconfig, and Sysedit now reside in one single utility. Click on a control option, a limited pop-up description appears that includes the directive of whether or not a reboot is required to implement that particular change. Access clarification and additional information without consulting lengthy help files by clicking the "?" and immediately clicking any of the options. Tweaki elevates the process of personalizing settings to where it should have been years ago.
Safeguards within the utility allow for true power tweaking. Precautions, including the ability to undo changes, appeal to not only the more timid users. The straightforward depiction of each option continues throughout all levels of the interface affording users with varied levels of expertise the ability to customize without trepidation.
A short list of features, benefits and abilities provided by Tweaki…for Power Users:
1. Desktop management ability of Tweak UI along with scores of additional options
2. Features normally scattered among a variety of programs consolidated into one simple interface
3. Saves your choice of personal settings, files, folders, views and other options to a permanent file (outside of the Registry) that loads each time the operating system boots.
4. The ability to truly lock down your computer
5. The ability to instantly lock down access to specific areas such as Control Panel, Registry, System Files, program settings, hardware, dial-up networking, etc… without limiting utility. (Great for thwarting those employees and contract clients who tweak their systems into oblivion on a regular basis.)
6. Save operating system settings for recall or use on another system or network.
7. Enable auto log-on support for network, Office suites and Windows
8. Disable log-on and shutdown and removal of associated short cuts
9. Tweaki's Right Click Wizard, facilitating full customization of context sensitive menus for choosing file (open with) types
10. Change Windows install path
11. Change Company Name and Registration information
12. Create monikers for Favorite bookmarks in Internet Explorer®.
13. Rename title bars in Internet Explorer®
14. Enable detailed Internet mail logging
15. Fast File Access and Fast shut down options
16. Common Folder Sharing Wizard
17. Application Launch Manager Wizard
18. Numerous Security Setting options
19. Version specific settings for each Windows Operating System from 95 up
20. The oh-so-helpful Windows' Make Compatible.EXE
21. Program specific MS Office® tweaks for most components of the suites
22. Customize some features of the Registry (this is limited but useful)
Space constraints forbid any further listing of features, settings and enhancements. To date, I have experienced no compatibility issues, irretrievable system changes, system crashes or error messages since installation and use of Tweaki. No more do I suffer through stalled reboots and sluggish shutdown procedures. Now resolved, my major daily complaint with Windows 98 SE® on both my systems (my program and window view settings kept reverting to default) no longer plagues me. I love simplicity and this program represents the best of its kind.
JerMar Software offers a free download for a two-week trial of Tweaki… for Power Users. Purchase a single-user license for $15.00 or multiple-user licensing at increasingly good discounts depending upon quantity desired. Registered users receive all future upgrades free of charge. Purchase from the manufacturer by phone, fax, snail-mail or via secure server off the Internet for extended utility and the free upgrade rights. Unlike some other shareware encountered, simply inputting the registration code and your email address permanently unlocks the software.
Tweaki…for Power Users is the utility every "default malcontent" will wish they had thought of first! This utility receives my highest recommendation.

Trestman is getting Jay Cutler back to Pro Bowl level
BY ADAM L. JAHNS Sports Reporter October 16, 2013 8:43PM
IRVING, TX - AUGUST 18: Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan shares a laugh with quarterback Jay Cutler #6 prior to a preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium August 18, 2007 in Irving, Texas. (Photo by Dave Einsel/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Jay Cutler;Mike Shanahan
Updated: October 17, 2013 12:16PM
The Broncos had reached the AFC Championship Game with Jake Plummer at quarterback in the 2005 season. But getting there wasn't good enough, and coach Mike Shanahan couldn't see that changing.
It was 2006, and it was time to hand over the reins to Jay Cutler.
"I really felt at that time that was as far as Jake was going to take us," said Shanahan, now the coach of the Redskins. "I thought Jay Cutler had the intangibles and the skills to possibly take us to the next level."
Of course, the Broncos didn't go any further. And in a short time, Shanahan and Cutler would be changing addresses after major changes in Denver.
But Shanahan helped mold Cutler into a Pro Bowl quarterback in his third season in 2008. So from Shanahan's vantage point — with the Bears and Redskins playing Sunday at FedEx Field — there's something that concerns him about the 2013 version of Cutler under coach Marc Trestman.
"Well, that's the way he played for me," Shanahan said. "He had well over 600 throws [in 2008], and I think he had like 11, 12 sacks in all those throws. So he got rid of the ball very quickly and distributed the ball well, and I really liked what I saw."
During his only Pro Bowl season, Cutler completed 384 of 616 passes for 4,526 yards, 25 touchdowns, 18 interceptions and an 86.0 passer rating.
Six games in and with 1,630 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 95.2 passer rating (eighth-best in the NFL), Cutler is on pace for his best season since then.
So what took so long?
"That's part of building a team around a quarterback," Shanahan said. "It doesn't happen overnight."
In the Bears' case, it took three offensive coordinators, a coach and a general manager to go for things to click. That might seem like a lot for one player, but like Shanahan said, "One of the reasons why you go after a quarterback is you have to have one to give yourself a chance to win."
"And you try to put a supporting cast around him so he has a chance to be successful," he said.
If Cutler continues on the same course, it'll be a further indictment of what took place under former coach Lovie Smith and ex-general manager Jerry Angelo: failing to build an offensive line or develop receivers, having ineffective offensive schemes and even trading tight end Greg Olsen.
Trestman said he and quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh delved deep into Cutler's success in Denver.
"Matt and I looked at just about everything in '07 and '08 and where he was at that time," Trestman said. "They had done a great job and had elevated his game early in his career. He was playing at a high level there with a supporting cast. He had three very good receivers, a good line. They were protecting him, giving him a chance to make some plays."
It sounds exactly like what the Bears have going on after all of GM Phil Emery's changes. Trestman also went to Shanahan for advice.
"Mike said you're really going to enjoy working with Jay [and that] he's a smart guy, he wants to work, he wants to learn [and] he's coachable," Trestman said. "It was reassuring to hear it from him."
And it's all turning out to be accurate this season.
Receiver Brandon Marshall was a big part of Cutler's Pro Bowl season in Denver, but he said something better is happening this year.
"It's more from a mental aspect," Marshall said. "He's locked in. Jay's doing an amazing job of not only doing the things he needs to do, but he's getting everyone lined up. He's walking us through routes, showing us how he would like it. The trickle-down effect has been good from his leadership."

dreading guides and pages
forum categories
First off, welcome to Dreadlocking 101. We will be covering all possible aspects of the subject of dreading.
Before we begin, if you're able to learn this one lesson you can skip everything else:
The less you do and put into your dreadlocks, the better the results.
Learn that and graduate now.
|Dreading History
|Dreading Methods
|Dreading Maintenance
Above you will find some categories of interest in regards to dreadlocking history, currently known methods, and current maintenance. Information is power and We at Dreadlockssite encourage others to fully educate themselves in all things dreadlocks so that when the time comes for their own journey, an informed decision can be made.
To preface this page full of glorious dreadlocking information, We felt it would be inperitive to mention some of the marketing scams that are out there that force people to deviate from a healthy dreadlocked style and that have reset standards and ideas in regards to dreadlocks. Unfortunately, we can not change the propoganda of the marketplace but we can put this information out there and hope that, through experiences and education, these scams and myths can eventually be debunked for what they truly are: Marketing ploys.
Marketing is used by companies or individuals to make money off of products or services they have to offer - end of story. Dreadlocks, as defined by Merriam-Webster, are "a narrow ropelike strand of hair formed by matting or braiding." Dreadlocks are the simplest hairstyle needing the least amount of maintenance. All you need to do is throw away your comb and let your hair lock up on it's own. Websites for various products as well as hairdressers/locticians boast claims of needing methods to lock the hair up, products to maintain the locked hair, products to counter the effects of the products used to lock up the hair, specifications on washing said hair when really, all you need is time.
Due to all of these marketing misconceptions being pumped out into the mainstream, people overlook the fact that dreadlocks have been worn without the use of products for a long time in many cultures. Also, the advent of products that are known to cause build up of dirts and smells have generated the misconception that locks need to be dirty. None of this is true! Companies selling so-called "dreadkits" claim that you can not get beautifully dreadlocked hair unless you buy said kit and utilize the tools and products within. Unfortunately, there have been plenty of instances showing this as a fallacy as well as many documented accounts of individuals who have had their hair absolutely RUINED by said products/kits. Please take the time to review the information on this page to get a better understanding of what each known method and product can potentially do to your hair if used (essentially, the good, the bad, and the ugly truth.)
Dreadlocks are one of the oldest hairstyles in the world, with records dating far back in history and contrary to popular belief, not exclusive to the Rastafari movement or African American hair-types.
European cultures rumored to have worn dreadlocks were the Celts (specifically the Druids) as well as some other Gallic tribes. Documentation is scarce but it is said that some Celtic warriors would lime their hair, making it lighter and stiffer,so that it would spike back in a more intimidating fashion (an iron-age replication of Celtic warriors is to the left and the one at the middle is shown with locks over his shoulders while the rest of the hair is spiked outward.)
Vercingetorix of the Arverni tribe united the Gauls against Rome unsuccessfully. He was captured by Caesar and held prisoner, later to be executed.
Just below is a Roman coin that was made depicting the Gaul at the time (with locked hair.) In later renditions (paintings or statues) he is depicted with either flowing, chunky locks or dreadlocked hair… since the coin was made in 48 b.c. it makes you wonder which is the more accurate depiction.
In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet there is mention of "elf-locks". Elf-locks (or pixie-locks; fairy-locks) are said to be tangles that where put into the hair of livestock or people by the fae. It was said that to undue the tangles would cause bad luck and many believers would intentionally leave these locks to continue to dread throughout the rest of their lives. The aforementioned quote was in reference to Queen Mab of the fairies:
"She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone.......
That plaits the manes of horses in the night
And bakes the elflocks in foul sluttish hairs,
Which once untangled, much misfortune bodes."
Another example of this is of Gna Vanna (left) who is recorded by Eliza Putnam Heaton in her book from 1920, The By-Paths in Sicily, as following the Strega Path (Italian spiritualist/healer) and having pixie locks that she refuses to brush out or cut saying that in her doing so would cause her to die.
Dreadlocks were a desirable hairstyle of the Egyptians who would wear either their hair or wigs of dreadlocks or plaits (braids) adorned in gold and were a status symbol of the wealthy. This has been proven by statues and hieroglyphics depicting the style as well as archaeologists confirming dreadlocks on unwrapped mummies (as King Tutankhamen's preservation can attest!)
Sadhus and Sadhvis of India grow locks which are considered sacred and the manifestation of their disregard for vanity (also considered a sign of virility!)
As with Hinduism, some forms of Buddhism (such as Ngakpa) also hold dreadlocks as a sign of letting go of vanity and materialism.
Various ethnic groups throughout Africa wear dreadlocks for varying reasons such as the Fang people of Gabon, Akan people of Ghana, Maasai wariors and Turkana people of Kenya are among a few. Mostly this style is reserved for spiritual people but not exclusive domain throughout the continent.
Whether it is for fashion or for a spiritual connotation, dreadlocks have been grown on various hair types throughout history and the world, including those wearing them today. It's important to know a little background because a lot of today's "dreadheads" are accused of cultural appropriation by allowing their hair to dreadlock due to dreadlocks more commonly being associated with the Rastafari movement, which was adopted in the 1930's.
For more information or discussion on the subject of dreadlocks in history or in cultures, check out the dreadlockssite forums!
Here you will find the various methods that have been used for dreadlocking, including pro's and con's of each. They are listed in order, from least to most damaging to the hair and scalp. You can scroll through and read them all (encouraged) for a better understanding of all the methods, or you can jump to specific methods that may interest you specifically:
I will not be using the term "neglect" for this method, as it is not exactly accurate except in certain situations, which are not the most desirable way to dread (e.g., homelessness, mental illness, etc.); instead I will use the term "natural," which is the most accurate term however, often salons grossly misuse the term "natural" to mean anything that uses your natural hair.
Natural dreads have been around since humanity's origins (please see history, above), and are by far the easiest method. The results are a natural, organic look, and an extremely rewarding journey into "dreadiness." Those who dread for religious or spiritual reasons consider natural the only legitimate way to dread, quoting religious texts that command no metal, whether tooth of comb or blade of scissors, to touch the hair. For this reason, and others, some but not all who "dreadicate" their lives may look down on "fashion dreads" and others who use starter methods, especially methods involving combs or chemicals (like dread perms). It doesn't do to add additional hatefulness into the world.
Natural dreadlocks are as easy as can be, and take next to no effort or time spent messing with the hair. They create a far more organic look - not a manufactured one. Natural dreads tend to last longer as they never suffered the damage from starter methods and have had no harmful products used on them. Contrary to popular belief, they do not take longer than other methods except in very few cases. The organic process of watching dreads be born week by week before your eyes is exciting and fascinating!!! In general, natural dreads cause far less dissatisfaction and worry over every loose strand of hair or kink because these are expected and celebrated as part of the process and not a problem.
In the early weeks your hair can look a little messy, and some who don't understand will judge you. You will have to always deal with know-it-alls telling you that you should backcomb or wax them, as if they are an expert, because they read a website trying to sell products. You also have slightly less control over the outcome (like in nature); sections don't generally form evenly (this is a good thing though), and the tips do not always end up blunt and perfect (also a good thing; blunt tips hold in water not allowing it to run freely out the ends). You may find some locks acting strangely, causing balls on the ends or growing in spirals or flat. Back combers tend to worry about this, always wanting perfectly round smooth dreads, but natural dread enthusiasts find the more unique the dread, the more they love that one over the boring straight ones. The more unique the dread, the more distinctly your own it is. No two dreads should be alike as they should have their own personalities. This is not everyone's philosophy though, and that is why I list it under disadvantages – it is a warning against those who value conformity over individuality.
Often thought of as a good alternative to backcombing that doesn't't use sharp metal toothed combs, so it is a little less damaging. Twist and rip is a method that creates neat, well-formed dreads quickly and easily. This is accomplished by twisting a section of hair, then dividing it into two sections randomly pulling them apart, which forces knots to move down towards the scalp. You then repeat the process many, many times. It takes no particular skill to do, but some have trouble figuring out how to do it right.
Here is a link to another video and description of how to do the Tn...
Quick and easy, less damaging than other methods, and creates well-formed, good looking dreads without causing the whole "Side Show Bob" look. They generally don't fall apart as much as backcombed hair does but in some cases, they still DO fall apart.
Easier to do with fairly thin dreads, but can hurt and do damage, such as some hair breakage. The damage however, being less than other methods. This method may require help to do the back of your head and it may also take hours to complete.
A fairly new way to dread, popularized by companies out to sell products that supposedly make dreading " work better". This method is highly aggressive and damaging and painful, often even ripping hair out of the scalp (particularly when someone's helping you and they can't feel your pain). It's surprising that this method has become the most widely used since it really is one of the least desirable methods. The overuse can only be traced to misinformation and lies spread by companies like DreadheadHQ and KnottyBoy, that mass produce thousands of sites full of lies to push their products. I am not trying to claim backcombing is an inherently bad idea, only that it is the last "starter" method I would personally recommend. Unfortunately, it is one of the first to be recommended by those who push the "instant dread" mentality.
Backcombing is accomplished by repeatedly and aggressively combing the hair backwards towards the scalp in quick short strokes forcing hair to knot near the roots. This can cause massive amounts of hair breakage as well as damage and weakening of the hair shaft. When trying to get it too tight often hair is yanked right out at the roots (which creates tension and can hurt for hours... even heard mothers say backcombing was more painful then childbirth.) Backcombing tends to do very little to actualy help dread in many cases as it tends to all fall apart over the 1st few washings unless you use harmful products like wax and elastics to hold it in place (see maintenance.) This is not always true, but happens more often then not. Usually the backcomber might panic and re-backcomb or apply wax compounding the damage and not really furthering the dreadlocking process since re-backcombing resets the hair back to day 1.
Makes you feel like you accomplished something and you can now say you got dreads (even if not true; you only have backcombed hair that will still take months to become dreads.) The act of backcombing mimics the act of combing that your used to so it can feel like the right way to go, the mentality being you have to do something to get something, having always combed to create a style, backcombing to create a style is instinctual.
Massive damage. They also look ridiculous in the early stages... the "sideshow bob" look (funnily enough, most choose backcombing over natural to avoid looking like a mess the 1st weeks but it backfires and they look ridiculous while the natural dreads change more gradually without sticking straight out in all directions.) In general, for many reasons, backcombed dreads tend to be the shortest lasting. In most cases, because of the use of waxes to keep the initial backcomb from falling apart (even if only used for 2 weeks the wax can lead to dread removal after only 2-4 years), some have also reported ugly white spots all over that are actually the roots of the hairs yanked out but trapped in the dread.
*Just a side note on backcombing: It may sound as if I'm being anti-backcomb but I'm not "completely". I just think it really should not be the 1st way suggested rather, it should be reserved for only if no other methods work.
Twisting is easy to do, but often is overdone. Twisting is simply that: Pinch a bit of hair and twist it into a section. The problem is, many keep on twisting repeatedly, even to the point of twisting them right off. Twisting can create dreads in very short african type hair (1/8 inch or shorter even) and it may, at times, need a touch up. Re-twisting is usually done in the early weeks but should be stopped as soon as they hold shape on their own.
You can do it yourself without even thinking about it, does next to no damage unless overdone, and can start dreads in extremely short hair.
Very few except that again, you're holding on to the idea of "doing something to get something" so often this is carried on for life and you re-twist obsessively untill you experience dread loss and balding (called Traction Alopecia.)
Here is a video showing the results of OVER twisting:
Some salons offer a service called dread perming. This is taking the hair and applying one of the starter methods listed on this page. After the method has been applied, permanent waving solution is put through the hair to break the disulfide bonds holding the keratin protiens in place so that they can re-position themselves and, in turn, reform the hairs appearance. After the solution has been sitting on the hair long enough to break down it's bonds, it is rinsed out and followed by a neutralizer to stop the attack on the disulfide bonds that the redusing agent (perm solution) was providing. A common redusing agent is ammonium thioglycolate and a common neutralizer is hydrogen peroxide.
The only advantage of a dread perm is that it give the look of mature dreadlocks that won't unravel.
Reducing agents can cause scalp ithcing, redness, burning, and sometimes scalp peeling. They can also weaken and damage the hair, PERMANENTLY, and can cause light breakage to severe breakage, or balding, when pooled in one spot for too long or if the hair has a lot of tension (this is also referred to as a "chemical haircut".) The hairs texture will be changed as well as the configuration, becoming coarse and dry as well as brittle. When using this chemical service it is not a good or safe idea to apply other chemicals (such as hair dyes) because they can further the damage done to the hair. There have been records of people who have recieved perms (dreaded, curled, or straightened) showing a lack of hair regrowth, which is unfortunate since perms are permanent and can only be removed by letting the hair grow out and cutting out the chemically treated areas.
These 2 methods are synonymous and I really do not like them at all however, since they are gaining in popularity I'll cover them here.
Felting is the worse. It uses a very sharp felting needle covered with barbs to literally mangle the hair into a mass. The damage is as extreme as you can get, much of the matting not being knots but the damaged hair shafts gripping each other by their broken and tattered pieces (hard to explain, but the hair shaft is torn with the outer layer having pieces nearly ripped off that form barbs and grip each other.)
Crocheting is definitely less severe but also is a metal object being thrust through the dread breaking hairs in the process. Additionally, it causes a distinct "woven" look and feel, different from newer, natural growth, so can cause a cycle of constant upkeep in order to keep them looking even (also every hair sucked in breaks hairs which may come out needing more upkeep.)
Both of these can create an extremely "neat" look and what can be conieved as a "mature" dread from day 1.
Damage and the need for constant maintenance. The damage can include unstable locks, locks completely breaking off, Traction Alopecia, thinning dreads... just to name a few. There is actually a crochet and felting recovery forum >here< for those who want first hand accounts of this damage as well as for those who would like support in recovery.
Another aspect that should be mentioned is, if you are dreading for fashion reasons (which most who use this method are) the breakage is so bad that the dreads can not be combed out later without the breakage being noticable throughout the hair.
Maintenance can be broken down into different categories and then these categories can be broken down further still. Maintenance is anything and everything that an individual can or will do in order to keep or help their dreadlock process along (whether it be good or bad.) The areas hi-lighted by an asterisk (*) are the barest essentials needed for healthy and beautiful locks.

How to Wash
Washing your dreads is very simple. Apply the shampoo or cleaners to the scalp only and the dreads themselves will get clean from the run off while you rinse. Once dreads are mature you can gently use soap on them but, be sure that you don't push too much soap into the dread that it might be hard to wash out. When rinsing the dreads, be sure to use cool water and that should help with overdrying of the scalp as well as sealing the cuticle of the hair shaft.
Shampoos and cleansers should be gently worked into the scalp with your fingertips unless the bs/acv method of cleaning is used (see below) which is a "no touch" method of cleaning.
Cleansers and Recipes
Any shampoo is dread suitable however, non-residue is always best (isn't it funny how locticions and dread companies try to sell you nothing but residues when a non-residue soap is the only thing really helpful?) You're fine using any non-residue soap that feels right to you. The top 3 cleansing products that people tend to have the most success with here are
Some swear by water only washing. I couldn't do that myself, but many like it.
Handling Lice
This is the topic that all dreadheads, well, dread. First off, dreads are no more likely to get bugs than any other hair type however, lice treatment in dreads is a little different than strauight hair because with straight hair you can comb out all the eggs while killing the adults with harsh, very toxic, poisions. These poisions are not safe enough to use often enough to break the reproduction cycle so you cannot get rid of lice in dreads with traditional lice treatments.
But don't fret! There are safer ways to kill lice than pouring toxic chemicals over your head. Lice breathe through their exoskeletons and one of the safest (and most reliable) lice treatments is suffocation. Using anything that suffocates them will work. You can use 70% rubbing alcohol (which is the best since it sterilizes wounds and is very easy to rinse out, unlike the others) and the fumes will kill them as they breathe in.
Other options include mayonese, mayo with vinegar, petroleum jelly (not a good choice with dreads), and olive oil. Hair dyes are toxic enough to kill head lice. Neem seed oil is probably one of the best options as it kills the adult lice but also interupts the reproductioon cycle so no second generations are born.
Tea tree oil can help prevent lice but wont get rid of them.
Please note: Suffocation methods need to be repeated every 3 days for 9 days (sometimes more) to break the 5 day reproductive cycle. Lice can also hold their breath for 14 minutes smothering them should be done for as little as 15 minutes to as long as 30 (maximum time is encouraged for full effect.) Also, cover the head with a plastic processing cap or bag to trap any fumes (such as those from alcohol or vinegar) and perform these procedures in a well ventilated area! As with ALL head lice cases, clean, clean, CLEAN! You must wash all laundry and bedding and it might be a good idea to treat the household since lice like to travel from host to host and can live on your furniture while in transit.
The Power of Essential Oils
Essential Oils smell fabulous and contain many wonderful properties that can help dreadheads along their locking journey. For instance, tea tree essential oils help with mold prevention while rosemary can be used to fight against dandruff. Essential oils can be added to shampoos and cleansers or to sprays. Here is a link to an accumulated list of essential oils and their u...
There are some decorations that not only look fabulous in dreadlocks but can also "help" with keeping locks separated, antagonize dreading, and compacting the locks. These are peyote stitches, beads and wraps. Peyote stitches are just like wraps except they are premade and slide up the dread like a bead would. Beads, when placed at midstrand, can help keep baby locks seperated and also can help promote some dreading (these should be kept loose though to allow movement of the hair.) Wraps can be done with yarn, embroidery floss or string. These can sometimes compact dreads that are flat or lumpy or fuse holes in dreads from root flipping damage (see below.)
Anything can be decorative though (found tchotchkes, crystals, rings, etc.) when attached to dreads. Be aware though, anything that you place on your dreads, if left for too long, can become a permanent addition or make the dreadlock tight and thin in that spot when removed.
Wool can be pretty usefull for dreadlocking in various ways because the texture can create friction against the hair, causing it to knot up however, lint is a major pain. A lot of lint is not too noticable but if you have a particularly aggravating piece you can always take a needle or tweezers and pull it out. This will cause minor damage to the exterior of the dread (depending on how large the lint is) but nothing that won't be healed with time.
Wool tams are good for stashing dreads that are particularly messy because they are large enough to let the dreads move around. Wool pillow covering will help cause friction while you sleep but again, the lint issue. Wool rubbing will also cause the friction needed to help accelerate dreadding but if done in excess can also cause damage and weakness to the dreads as well as root breakage if done at the scalp.
Separation Anxiety
Ripping or separating: This is the only real maintenance necessary besides cleaning because as dreads grow, the hairs at the roots may become crossed and try to eat the dread next to it, becoming 1. If you choose to not have thick dreads, simply pull 1 away from the other often. If you miss them for too long, and they are well attached, forcing a finger under a few hairs and pulling up may get them loose again. Once completely "congod" (attached with no hope of separation) you should just let them be 1 dread. Cutting them apart is not a good idea because this weakens the integrity of, not just 1 dread, but all dreads being nipped.
On the other hand, if you want to congo, congo with caution. By this I mean, congoing early on will mean dreads that may still get thicker are forced to combine with others and you may end up with thicker dreads than you anticipated. Dreads over a certain thickness become problematic, being more likely to mold, harder to clean and dry, and may even cause significant pain on the scalp from the weight.
Palm Rolling
Palm Rolling is typically used to "round out" dreadlocks, tame loose hair, and to apply product. This is a method that is commonly stressed but absoltely useless. When used to tame loose hairs it's very temporary and prompts the palm rolling to be repeated excessively. When rounding out locks, this method barely works because the knots and kinks that form bumbs in dreads will usually stay there, regardless of the rolling, which also prompts repeated or excessive rolling. When used with product, such as wax, palm rolling compresses the product into the dread making it harder to remove. In all instances, the misinformation that prompts people to palm roll causes excessive and unwarranted rolling and can, in turn, cause weakness in dreadlocks and even Traction Alopecia.
Here is a video showing the results of excessive palm rolling:
Root Rubbing/Tip Rubbing
Root rubbing is used to help lock up the dreads at their roots. This is completely useless because the roots NEED to be loose in order to dreadlock naturall as they grow out. Root rubbing can cause breakage at the roots, much like palm rolling, which leads to Traction Alopecia.
Tip rubbing is used to aid in blunting the tips of dreadlocks. This is actually a personal prefference of the dreadhead because blunted tips are unnecessary. With blunted tips, the water sits in the dreadlock (instead of draining out through tapered ends) and can not only increase drying times but encourage mold formation.
Root Flipping/Interlocking
Interlocking (otherwise called root flipping) is when the dreadlock is separated at the root and then pulled up and through the separated hole. This is used, mainly by locticions, to make the dreads lay flat and to tighten up the roots. This process can completely ruin dreadlocks! Roots need some freedom to dread on their own. Baby locks have looser roots but, over time, the they will get tighter on their own as the hair starts to grow into the dreadlock. Root flipping is a maintenance that, once started, a dreadhead will have to repeat because the roots are now split and will grow longer before learning to lock on their own. Repeated root flipping will weaken the dreadlocks and cause thinning and holes and in a lot of cases, breakage from these weakened points. This will also create a braided look to the dreads that is undesireable by most dreadheads yet, they don't realize it until it's well under way. If interlocking has been done to the hair already, STOP! It's hard to grow out but if you are patient the dreads will repair themselves and start dreading on their own. Sometimes a wrap may be used to push the holes from interlocking closed during the repair process.
Weaving Loose Hair
Weaving in loose hair is a completely pointless gesture. Loose hair is much more common in dreadlocks than people are made to think. The loose hairs will do 1 of 2 things
If the loose hair is woven into the dread you will either be weakening the dread by poking a hole through it, much like the root flipping/interlocking or the loose hair will just come out again to frustrate you into re-weaving it.
There are many products that are pushed on consumers from companies claiming that they will help hair dread (a lot of them are sold individually or in "dread kits".) Here is a list of some of the more common products pushed, how they really work and what they really do to the hair. If you feel that you absolutely MUST use product on your hair then research the ingredients first! You only want to put products on your dreads that are water soluble and residue free so that, when you do wash your dreads, the product will wash out and not get stuck.
Locking gels are a little bit tricky. Some gels are secretly just wax (if you look at the ingredients you may see wax or petroleum in the list and if you do, avoid these like the plague!) There are a few others that actually are water soluble, such as the Lock Magic Locking Gel from Bucks County Soap. Gels are completely unnecessary to the locking process. They are used to smooth out loose hairs around the dreadlock for a neater look. Now, it is highly encouraged to let the loose hairs fly as often as humanly possible because they need to in order to form a new dreadlock or get sucked into a pre-existing one however, it is completely understandable that one may want to tame those hairs for say, a wedding or job interview.
A great alternative to using locking gels, no matter how water soluble they are, is pure aloe vera!
Waxes are marketed for use on dreadlocks claiming to help keep the dreads together tightly and neatly while they lock up (especially promoted for use with backcombed locks and by locticions.) Now, in order for dreads to dread they require movement, and to a lesser extent, compression. Wax prevents movement and instead acts like a glue, caking the hairs together. This slows down the dreading process considerably while giving the illusion of nice tight knottiness. Over time it can cause very severe issues and is next to impossible to get out. Dirt and grime become just as trapped by wax as the hair does and this is the main reason why people think dreads are so dirty. They also say its conditioning but it isn't; they add vitamin e, which is. Aloe can be used for every purpose wax can, and rinses clear away, and easily, which wax doesn't (2 weeks of wax use, as directed, has proven to leave a wax core years later, regardless of washing.) Here is a small list of testimonials from members who have had thei... Aside from having sticky, dirty dreadlocks that come apart, wax has also been known to promote mold production as well as skin issues (such as acne and hives.) Here is another testimonial from someone who had medical skin issue...
The intention of pointing out these testimonials isn't necessarily to scare you however, the promotion of wax usage is so prolific that just informing upon it's evils isn't enough to convince people of the truth. If you have fallen victim to wax usage, cutting your dreads off isn't the only way to remove it. You can do some serious wax removal with a grease cutting dish soap, such as Dawn dish liquid, or use the wax remover from Bucks County Soap. Both products, used multiple times, with the hottest water you can stand, can help get the wax out but it's a horrendous process.
Lock Peppa
lock peppa, when googling the ingredients, almost makes you think it must be a joke; the biggest corporate "fuck you" of all times. I'm not going to look it up again but it was sand, clay rosin (a tree sap which I suspect was used because it is a sticky, gritty substance when not in brittle stone form but, in a soil, would also count as organic matter or fertilizer), and lastly a natural herbicide produced by plants (technically, I guess, a natural poison/weed killer.) Now what's that sound like? Yup, they are selling you dirt... dirt to intentionally put in your hair (nice of them to add the weed prevention huh?)
Those who have used it have told me it just made them flaky and itchy and it washed away easily (unless trapped in wax.) Being dirty, the hair might be easier to backcomb (the theory behind it i guess.) But if it washes right out with the backcomb along with it does it do anything at all? If dirt is what u need to dread then dirt is everywhere (of course we know - or hope you know - clean hair dreads best.)
Locking Accelerators
Locking accelerators are essentially made up of sea salt and a couple other ingredients. It is absolutely unecessary to buy these because you can take sea salt and water and create your own at home, much more cost-effectively. The sea salt spray is good because it dries the hair out and roughs up the cuticle, encouraging the locking process. This should be used a couple of hours prior to washing though, and not to be left or used at all times because it will start to overdry your hair and scalp, causing itchiness and even dry dandruff.
Taking a dip in the ocean will have the same effect. If you do go into the ocean a lot and you are unable to properly wash your hair afterwards with enough time for drying before bed, try to at least run cool, plain water through it to rinse away the majority of the salt afterwards.
There are a lot of teas and sprays that are marketed to dreadheads at being helpful for various reasons. As mentioned before, pay attention tot he ingredients before using them! You don't want to put anything into your hair that will be hard or impossible to wash out because over time it can build up and get pretty nasty. You can make your own teas and sprays at home with use of herbs or essential oils. Depending on what you use, there could be benefits ranging from adding a great smell to anti-itch.
Lock Butter
Lock butters or lotions are merketed to make dreads soft and smooth and smell good. This can somewhat backfire because the more gunk you put into your dreads to make it "soft" or to "smooth" out the loose hairs can set back progress on maturing dreads. Dreads need to be clean and residue free to lock up properly. When they are matured you can soften dreads up with jojoba or aloe, which will easily wash out from the hair. Also, certain essential oils, when added to your washing regimen, can help to maintain soft locks without the hassel of smearing junk into them.

they shouldnt be twisted at all after the 1st day if u retwist as maintenance u are over twisting and will have issues
I'm thirding the notion of SE writing a book. This site is outnumbered by websites and videos telling people to use wax and hooks on their dreads.
Gotta ask again. Do you do a BS+water wash first, and then a vinegar+water wash after? Or do you just mix it all up and hope for the best?
no never mix them they chemicaly reacte and cause a volcanoe eruption on yoir head
do the baking soda 1at then rinse that out well then do acv and rinse
well wet hairs more easily damaged but more mailable to its probly best to do it dry but if its having troubke dampening it with a light mist might help but then be gentler
well valerie just redid thiss dreaducation page and made it even more cmplete with the history and added he navigation

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - Despite all those gaudy statistics and impressive physical skills, Colin Kaepernick faced plenty of questions coming out of Nevada about whether he was the product of a gimmicky college offense that would have no chance of working in the pros.
On the big stage of the NFL playoffs, Kaepernick is demonstrating just what he and that pistol offense are capable of against the toughest competition.
With scintillating runs in the option game and downfield passes with his powerful right arm, Kaepernick has the San Francisco 49ers back in the NFC championship game for a second straight year and has given more credibility to the offense designed by his college coach less than a decade ago.

Where To Find IMO ?
Posted by
DALLAS, TEXAS -- I've had Interstitial Cysitis for 20 years and IMO was recommende by The Interstitial Cysitis Network. I'm also lactose intolerant. I use IMO not only on my potatoes, but I make dressings out of it. (all dressings have vinegar. we cannot tolerate vinegar) I make it with spices. Also It's my
tartar sauce for fish. It's my "Ranch Dressing" when I add Almond milk and spices. I use it many ways. Every week I buy two containers. Ralphs, used to carry it, Pavilion used to carry it. Then I found it at State Bros. when they all quit carrying it. Yesterday Stater Bros. stopped carrying it. NOW WHAT DO I DO? WHERE ELSE CAN I GET IT? There are so few things I CAN EAT, and that made it possible with what I CAN EAT. No more salads? because I don't have a homemade salad dressing? WITH IMO??

That is the route I took once. I love IMO, and can't stand sour cream. IMO does not separate and go really bad, as it lasts much, much longer than sour cream, and tastes a lot better.

Where's the IMO?
Posted by
I can't find IMO in any of my local grocery stores. I have a dairy allergy. I have used IMO for decades in cooking for my whole family. Without it I would not have been able to enjoy many of my favorite foods, such as Stroganoff, Chicken Paprika, baked potatoes!!!!!, and many other delicious recipes. I am having "sour cream withdrawal"! Please help. Bring back my IMO!!!!!!! R. G. in Washington State

All I found when I googled it was other people asking the same question. I'd go right to the company and ask them. I suspect it's not made anymore.
Starlord on 05/31/2011:
I don't know what part of Washington the OP resides in, but I do know that the Safeway and Albertson stores in Lacey both carry IMO. Down below this, there is a click spot for other Dean Foods or IMO reviews, I spoke to a CSR at Dean, and was assured that Dean's makes thousands of containers of IMO every week, and I posted the contact number for Dean's. You also need to speak to the people at your local stores, as this is a health issue. I have a sister-in-law who is lactose intolerant, and my wife is allergice to shellfish, so I understand.
cheryl on 09/06/2013:
Can not find IMO anywhere in Hayward,Ca. I have dairy and shellfish allergies. I only know of IMO as a nondairy product. Please help me to find it....
David on 10/24/2013:
We are looking for IMO too. It is a great product that my wife has built into almost all of her recipes that call for sour cream. Have spent a lot of time, on the internet and the phone, trying to find it. Help!
melanie on 11/05/2013:
I live in Carson city Nev. in the past months I have been unable to find IMO.Raleys used to carry it but no more. Smiths ,Savemart, Walmart don't carry it. has it been discontinued?anyone in Carson know of a source?it is vastly superior to sour cream.help
N. Carver on 11/28/2013:

IMO distribution
Posted by
We just moved from Washington State to Wisconsin and can't find IMO anywhere!! It was bad enough when Fred Meyers and Safeway quit carrying it, we became Albertson customers ASAP as they carry it all the time!! But now we read all the reviews and it appears it's only distributed out on the west coast?? WHY?? There are people moving to the midwest and east coast all the time!! How do I find out how to get it carried in my area? We have Festival Foods and Piggly Wiggly stores here. Does Walgreens carry it? We use IMO in place of sour cream in every dish, on tacos, in dressings, dips.
Help....stranded without IMO in Green Bay!!

Dean's Foods makes IMO, and you can find Dean's Foods on the net. They may be able to help find some way to get IMO to you. I wish you the best. I know how it is when I can't get IMO.
old fart on 10/31/2010:
What is IMO,?
Starlord on 10/31/2010:
IMO is a sour cream substitute made by Dean's Foods, the makers of various dips. It has an extremely long shelf life in the fridge, does not separate and get icky like sour cream, and has a much better flavor. Perhaps the most important feature is that it contains no dairy, so it can be used freely by those who are lactose intolerant. I use it with Mrs. Grass onion soup mix to make chip dip, and on tacos, in short, anyplace you would normally use sour cream.
old fart on 10/31/2010:
Thank you Starlord....

If you check the recent campaign-finance filings for Assembly candidates Rick Bosetti and Brian Dahle, you'd see a race where both have raised roughly $100,000 since the June primary -- Dahle a little more, Bosetti a little less -- but Dahle has substantially more cash on hand: $112,465.71 vs. $39,330.98.
Far outweighing the candidates' own money, though, are major outside contributions reported last week to an independent expenditure committee supporting Bosetti. The North State Farm and Business PAC reports $150,000 from the California Association of Realtors and another $150,000 from "Spirity of Democracy California" -- aka Charlie Munger Jr.
The same folks -- mainly the Realtors -- also helped Bosetti in the primary. (I'm pretty sure they were behind the ads feature Jon Coupal of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers' Association.) Unfortunately for them, you actually cannot buy votes. Bosetti came in second.
Still, you'll see some big-money ads flowing the last month.

Dear Each and Every One,
It has been a rich and rewarding week with World Pulse, as our Correspondents prepare to submit their Module 1 assignments. We all seem to draw closer and to uncover even more treasure in each other. So tonight and tomorrow, after the work is submitted, may you find ongoing recognition of all our efforts, both individual and collective, in these words, spoken to whomever or whatever you choose, or simply given from me to you. This particular prayer, or meditation -- however you wish to receive it -- seems to fit in organically with all the beautiful photos of and sentiments about the natural world we've been posting. - Sarah
"We pray for balance and exchange. Balance us like trees. As the roots of a tree shall equal its branches so must the inner life be equal to the outer life. And as the leaves shall nourish the roots, so shall the roots give nourishment to the leaves. Without equality and exchange of nourishment there can be no growth and no love "
Beautiful One
Thank you for this exquisite quote Sarah, and for your presence here. It has been beautiful to witness the blossoming of our Correspondents, and to be part of the mutual nurturing. Looking forward to reading more of the profiles this week!
Usha xx
Let your light shine!
Beautiful words, Sarah! They made my day and maybe even a week.
Thank you for sharing!
Warm wishes,
Simple and beautiful
I look forward to your posts each day. They are refreshing, encouraging and soothing to us.
Thank you for posting such beautiful thoughts and through you we learn and grow even better.
Mukut Ray
May God be there for each one of us and support us all the way through this journey.

College Football Injustices: TCU and Baylor Don't Rank Highly On The List, But They Reflect A Longstanding Problem In College FootballThe Student Section
To help preview the coming series against the Pirates, The Nats Blog sat down with Pat from Where Have You Gone Andy Van Slyke (WHYGAVS), one of the top Pirates blogs on the net.
Here's what he had to say.
The Nats Blog: Nyjer Morgan has been a great addition to the Nationals for the last 25 games. The centerfielder has put up lines of .389/.416/.484 with 37 runs in that stretch. You of course got to see a much larger sample size of Morgans abilities, what are your thoughts on him?
WHYGAVS: Morgan is a great guy and he's a fun player to watch, but I still don't think he's a viable long-term lead-off hitter. Way too much of his offensive performance is tied up in batting average and I think in that regard, he's much closer to the .277/.351/.356 player than the one you've seen the last month. The upside of it for the Nationals is that you can justify playing a player with that kind of bat if he has a good glove in center. The Pirates didn't have room for him there with Andrew McCutchen emerging. As long as the Nats don't fall captive to the idea that speed = leadoff hitter, I think Morgan can be a nice player for you guys.
TNB: The Pirates have been extremely busy this month with trades, how do you feel about the direction the Pirates are taking?
WHYGAVS: I couldn't be happier. Neal Huntington took over what was essentially a 67-70 win team late in 2007 that had practically nothing in the minor leagues besides McCutchen and maybe Brad Lincoln, who was recovering from Tommy John surgery at the time. In the two years since, he's torn down the Dave Littlefield construct and added players with talent and potential by the boatload; Jose Tabata, Tim Alderson, Jeff Clement, Jeff Locke, Charlie Morton, Gorkys Hernandez, Ross Ohlendorf, a passel of lower minor-league pitchers, and yes, Lastings Milledge have all arrived by trade while Pedro Alvarez and others have arrived through the draft. It may result in poor short-term results for the Pirates, but it's the only way to be viable in the long-term.
TNB: Who do you feel will be ready to compete sooner, the Nationals or the Pirates?
WHYGAVS: I may be a bit biased here, but I really do think it's the Pirates. I look at the Nationals and see a team that's where the Pirates were prior to 2007; ownership asserting itself too strongly on the front office, and a kind of directionless approach to player development and acquisition. Until the Lerners back off a little bit and until a full GM is hired, I can't see things moving in the right direction for the Nats, even if you manage to bring Strasburg into the fold (sorry!).
TNB: What do the Pirates need to do to be successful this series?
WHYGAVS: They have to hit. In their past five games, the Pirates have scored 0, 0, 2, 2, and 0 runs. With that kind of output, they're not going to beat anyone.
TNB: Any players we should keep our eyes on?
WHYGAVS: McCutchen is a ton of fun to watch. It's hard to believe, but I think he's actually faster than Morgan on the base paths and he's up to full speed seemingly two steps out of the batter's box. Charlie Morton, who should be pitching Sunday or Monday (the rotation is a bit in flux with yesterday's addition of Kevin Hart) has a very good, live fastball and a great curveball. And to be honest, despite all the bad things I've heard, I'm really interested to see what Milledge does with his fresh start after he went down to Triple-A Indianapolis and hit .333/.425/.433 in his short stint there.

Instruct your students to write several passages with past verbs. They should first write a short story in the past, called "What I Did." It should have a number of past-tense verbs, and they should be written in the correct I form. Then have the students rewrite the passages, but this time substitute "He" or "She" for "I." This will change the way that the verbs are used and will dictate a difference in the way that the stories themselves are written. Have them rewrite the story once again, and substitute "You," which will change some of the verbs that are used, and change how they are used. Students should then display their three "What I Did" paragraphs side by side and look at the differences in the verb usage when the subjects are changed.
ESL: Exercises for Past-Tense Verbs
Patty Middleton, an ESL teacher with the St. Paul public school district, has several different strategies for you to follow when it comes to ESL exercises regarding past-tense verbs. Being able to talk in the past tense is important because it offers you a wide variety of choices when you are talking and telling stories. Follow these suggestions to help your students succeed with past-tense verbs.
What I Did
Follow Middleton's suggestion that some verbs simply need to be charted in order to be understood by students. It is important to chart these verbs in a way that makes sense. Have students create charts of these irregular verbs on large pieces of poster paper. They can write them in different colors, such as "I Was" in one color, "You Were" in another color and "He Was" in a third color. As they create these charts, they will begin to understand the difference between the various verbs and how they are used when the subject has changed in the past tense.
Instruct students to look at the charts that others have made so that they have an idea of the different irregular verbs and how they change with various subjects. Make sure students understand that not all of the verbs are the same, and they will not all act the same when they are in the past tense.
Middleton adds that the best way to learn past verbs is to simply speak in the past tense. A lot of these verbs will begin to sound right to a student's ears, and then they will know that they have got them down. Students should have conversations in which they are able to discuss various aspects of the past and use different subjects with those aspects.

Sensory bins are great exploration fun. I have a lot of leftover steel cut oatmeal that I bought when I was making my own baby food. I didn't like the steel cut oatmeal and ended up using quick oats instead. I've been trying to find uses for the steel cut oatmeal ever since. One time, I gave Aiden some of the oatmeal, a muffin tin, a bowl, and some utensils. This was tons of fun but a HUGE mess.
This time I put the oatmeal in a tall box and asked Aiden to keep it in the box. He absolutely loved this sensory bin. It kept him busy for a long time. I played with him dumping and filling cups, driving cars and trains through the bin, covering and uncovering things, and drawing letters and shapes. Great activities for fine motor skills development.
Steel cut oatmeal feels a lot like playing with tiny rocks or coarse sand. If you don't have steel cut oats, try filling a bin with quick oats, rice, or barley. Make sure to watch your little one while they are playing {especially if they like to put things in the mouth}.
Playing in the oatmeal was a very calming experiencing for me. There's something about running it through your fingers and hands. It actually reminds me of playing at the beach. I can imagine the ocean breeze, the wave sounds, and the birds. No wonder Aiden enjoys the oatmeal bin so much!
Linking up here!
6 Responses to "Oatmeal Sensory Bin"
Great sensory/motor idea. I used dried beans and pasta, but never oatmeal!
We tried this but Rachel ate a LOT of the oatmeal (kinda glad we went with oats!). Then when I took her to change her nappy, the dogs swooped in and ate EVERY LAST GRAIN !!! They LOVE oatmeal and we've always fed it to them so, we couldn't get very upset. At least nothing went to waste!!! LOL
Good idea! We have a pinto bean bin with plastic dinosaurs and cars, and then a bin with dried top soil for outdoor play with plastic garden tools. The top soil bin is much messier, but great for sitting outside in the evenings- and we can always add water to muddy it up a bit. I think the oatmeal bin would be great for indoors.

It would be better if you start your journey with only one hotel group instead of several.
The benefit of doing this is to credit your stays and nights into one account, by doing which your membership level will get upgraded in a shorter time period. Why do you want to be an upper tier member? Check Tip 4 to learn more for this.
You might want to know which reward program is the best. Well, it's pretty hard to say if there is a best one. Programs favored by one people might not arouse others interests. The most important thing is to find the hotel that is suitable for you. Sometimes travelers do not really have a choice, they have to live in the contract hotels only due to the budget.
There are three major
chains listed on the program intro page. There are other hotel groups , such as
Wyndham, Accor, Choice, which are not included in this website. If you are
interested in any of those programs, and would like to discuss with me, please email
me at email@example.com. You could also check their websites or make a
toll free call at their office hour (most of the call centers are open 24/7).
Green initiatives in hotel could offer extra bonus to those who deny room service.
For instance, Starwood hotels& resorts worldwide would offer their guests up to 500 starpoints or a 5 dollar coupon for each night they deny room service. This is a great opportunity to get extra credits for those who stay consecutive nights.
This kind of initiative is originated from their green commitment and philosophy. As stated clearly on its official website, Starwood is now committing themselves to sustainable development and social responsibility. This move could help them save energy up to 30%. So what you are going to do actually benefit the hotels and the world we are now living.
One right credit card can help.
Like many other merchants, well known hotel chains usually have a long-standing cooperation relationship with credit card companies to realize a win-win situation through lunching a bunch of promotions. Some of them are for members only, for instance: SPG Amex Card, which is a joint name credit card lunched by Starwood and American Express.
It would be perfect if
you could continuously follow the updated promotion from official websites. But
never mind if you are too busy, hotels will send you most updated promotions.
So just make sure that you have your email properly set up to receive their
newsletters. Or you could check our promotion page to learn some of the hottest
promotions they have right now.
The longer you stayed at properties in a group, the faster you'll get credits to spend for your upcoming vacation.
Hotel groups tend to separate their guest into different levels according to the nights/stays they spend in their properties in a calendar year.
As it comes to Starwood, SPG program included three membership tiers, preferred guest, gold member and platinum member. It is easy to be enrolled as a preferred member. However, you need to have 10 eligible stay or 25 eligible nights in a calendar year to get upgraded to a gold member. And it takes 25 stays or 50 eligible nights in a calendar year to be a platinum member. And if you stayed 75 nights in a year, you could get 4 points by spending each dollar in hotel. In another word, the longer you stayed at properties in a group, the faster you'll get credits to spend for your upcoming vacation.
