I have thick, dark, coarse brown hair. It is sometimes super straight, other times, I wake up and it is wavy or curly. I love curly hair, so I got the Herbal Essences Totally Twisted shampoo and conditioner, and this cream. I took a bath, used the TT stuff, and then towel dried my hair. So my hair was pretty damp. Then, I took little portions of it and and slicked this in there, and then twisted them into little buns. I then put all the little buns in a scarf, and went to sleep. When I woke up, some of the buns were coming out, and so I took them out, and what did I have?? Adorable little spirals that I fingered apart, leaving me with a head of curly, pretty hair!

I have fine, naturally-wavy hair and I use this on the days I want to go curly. I agree with other reviewers that the texture leaves a lot to be desired, but I have found the right technique to get soft, defined curls. I mix this with a dab of shine serum to help give my hair shine and tame any frizzies, then I scrunch a little bit into different sections. This helps create defined curls that last all day. The best drugstore product for creating all-day defined curls.

I have thick but fine straight hair that is shoulder length with side swept bangs that end at my pupil... and I had always been relying on Aussie sprunch spray to give me any kind of wave or curl to my hair. I dreaded the scent and the gross feeling of touching the crunch, so I had been looking for a good cream for a while. My stylist showed me the right way to scrunch/curl my limp straight hair and used a high end curling cream, and I realized that this was probably the same stuff. I rushed home to use it
After taking a shower, I flipped my head and wrapped a towel around it without combing it. I got dressed, did makeup yadda yadda letting it air dry a bit in the towel. I took it off (once again, not combing it, so it looks like a ratty mess) and put my fingers into this tub. I DESPISE the packaging of this. Regardless I covered my fingertips and ran this all through my uncombed hair from scalp to end. I flipped my hair and dried it with a diffuser, and when I flipped it up, what did I get but awesome wavy curls? I did straighten my bangs and use a bit of hairspray to keep the hold (which was still kind of there by 4pm that day, and my hair never holds curl!) but this stuff gets an A from me. I *love* it. Only one lippie off because of the packaging--I'd love a pump or a squeeze tube!

YUCK! I don't like sticking my fingers in the jar and rubbing this thick, sticky gunk all over my hair. I found it too hard the spread it evenly on dry hair because its too sticky and messes up the curl. I had to use it only on wet hair. Although it did define my curls and made them soft, it does nothing to control the frizz. After a few hours my hair was just frizzy and poofy.

This is a decent product in that in my experience, it does what it says. It does not leave me with hard crunchy curls at all. I have long, naturally curly hair with a ton of body. It does a good job of giving just enough definition and no crunch. I only give it 4 lippies because I don't like the feeling my hair has after application. Meaning, it leaves it a tad on the sticky side and while it visually looks fine and does a great job of leaving naturally defined curls, I can't run my fingers easily through my hair after using this product and I like my hair to be touchable - so does my fiance. Still, it's not bad, and I can say for those that try it - start out with the tinist bit and add. Less is more with this stuff. I don't think I'll be purchasing this again. Sebastian's Potion 9 does a better job calming frizzies and giving me some definition and I can work out the minor crunchies after it's finished air drying.

This product is one of the best products i use for my hair (considering it is so inexpensive) However, for me it works way better on dry hair than on wet. I have very curly hair, and when I use the product, then allow it to air dry, it was no better than any other curl products. But, if I blow dry my hair straight,then work it into my hair, it works wonders at creating looser, softer, and bigger curls than I have naturally. And, it holds really well.

I have thin, curly/wavy hair, and using this alone is not good, but if I mix it w/a leave-in cream, pretty nice soft waves. The scent is absolutely wonderful, fruity, maybe watermelon.

Simply OK. It makes my hair too soft to maintain good curl definition, however. I have looser curls/waves and this seems to make them loose enough that they become more frizzy instead. I have better luck with L'Oreal Texture Line Featherweight Creme.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium Hair: Blond Eyes: Blue
This stuff is decent. It does define my curls so my normally wavy hair looks curly. Unfortunately it doesn't help much with frizz so you need something else for that. It's okay, but I've used better and ya'll probably have too. If I had the money, I'd just use the Bumble and Bumble because that really does define curls with no frizz and holds a bit and smells great.
Update: I raised the rating to 5 lippies because I came back to it and realized how awesome a product it is. I do need other products to help with my frizz (considering how damaged my hair is, that's normal), but I love the waves this gives me with no scrunching. My hair is semi-wavy and this really defines the wave and makes it look wavier. If it's been discontinued, I am so going out and buying what I can find.
EDIT: I finally found some at Big Lots this week and bought 4 of them since I also rediscovered this this past week when I decided to go curly again. It's still really great and now I have quite a few of them. lol.

Well it's been a while since there's been a silly fun stupid spring break type movie so I'm glad this one came around. These movies are great, they're good fun, little plot, and a lot of time a good amount of bare breasts. While these movies are never a cinematic masterpiece they are enjoyable as fuck. What we've got here is basically a remake of the 1978 movie Piranha, written by a couple of guys that wrote the Sorority Row remake. Its spring break, some shit happens which unleashes some deadly flesh eating fish that have been extinct for years. There are a lot of faces you'll recognize in here but I'm going to glaze over that, because really, in a movie like this it doesn't matter who's in it. What'd expect from a movie like this is some blood and titties, and you get both. Granted you only get titties by four girls but two of these girls go for the full on nudity, for a good length scene or two. What you also get from this movie is some pretty awful computer affects, and I'm not just talking about the pile of shit that the piranha's look like. You've got some pretty bad blood and people getting cut in half and shit, but I guess I've seen worse. To make up for it you get some pretty brilliant things (besides just naked ladies) like my favorite thing ever was when Adam Scott decides to jump on a jet ski and drive through the water shooting fish with a shot gun, he's like the aqua-terminator, it's a brilliant couple of seconds. Ving Rhames also has some time with the shotty, and gets a little more creative with a boat motor. This movie is basically exactly what you expect it to be, if you need an hour and twenty of stupid bloody fun check it out. It's got a great ending too.

Its score is 0.4 point higher than last year, reflecting improvements in labor freedom, business freedom, and trade freedom that outweigh declines in the control of public finance and monetary freedom. Portugal is ranked 32nd out of 43 countries in the Europe region, and its overall score is above the world average.Over the 20-year history of the Index, Portugal's economic freedom score has been stagnant at best. Significant gains in market openness and regulatory efficiency have been undermined by declines in property rights and the management of public finance and a level of labor freedom that is far below average. Portugal's economy has been rated "moderately free" throughout the history of the Index. Its 2014 score is its highest in three years.Short-term legislative reforms have not been implemented effectively. Ongoing efforts have focused on reducing the inefficient and oversized government sector, better managing public finance, and reforming loss-making state-owned enterprises. However, the economy remains burdened by political interference, corruption, a rigid labor market, and uncertainty in the eurozone. Read more about Portugal Economy. Close Background Portugal joined the European Union in 1986 and the eurozone in 2002. By 2011, a sovereign debt crisis threatened to sink the economy. The center-right Social Democrats led by Pedro Passos Coelho defeated Prime Minister Jose Socrates' Socialist Party in the 2011 general elections. In May 2011, Portugal accepted a €78 billion European Union–International Monetary Fund bailout plan. Despite cuts in state spending, Portugal is still in deep recession, thanks in part to tax increases. The economy is based primarily on services and industrial production. Some state enterprises have been privatized. In the first quarter of 2013, unemployment reached an all-time high of 17.7 percent, and youth unemployment was 42 percent.

In concert: Little Dragon
By Ally Schweitzer
D.C. has a secret. It's been enjoying Scandinavian electro-pop and not telling anyone about it.
The Swedish band Little Dragon returned to Liv nightclub Wednesday night on U Street NW. It was the group's third visit to the club since last summer, and that information was almost hard to come by. For a band as hip as Little Dragon - which made a prominent appearance on this year's Gorillaz album - there was a surprising dearth of Facebook or Twitter buzz about their return to DC.
(Lack of hype but not energy, plus more pictures after the jump.)
The lack of hype could not have prepared a casual observer for the revved-up scene at Liv. By the time singer Yukimi Nagano stepped onstage, the club was packed, with the first three rows howling like a bunch of Stevie Nicks fans. Nagano - barefoot, channeling Nicks with her shawl and tambourine - didn't say much as drummer Erik Bodin kicked into the quiet, glistening "Never Never," from last year's "Machine Dreams." The first three rows appropriately adjusted to the tempo, simmering down to sing backup to Nagano's soft and soulful croon.
Midway through a remixed, jammy set of songs from their downtempo 2007 self-titled debut, Nagano calmly declared, "I'm really feeling the love in DC." Minutes later keyboardist Håkan Wirenstrand flipped a switch and charged into the razor-sharp, squealing "Runabout," giving the crowd permission to once again lose their minds. DC's Swedish pop addiction might not be a secret for much longer.

This episode opens up with a tall man with spiky brown hair beating the crap out of some thugs.
Kenshin, Kaoru, Yahiko, Dr. Gensai and his two granddaughters are all once again at the Akabeko steakhouse in the village. Kenshin overhears three drunks arguing over democracy in the new regime, and one man throws a blind plate, and Kenshin blocks it with his head so it won't hit Kaoru, acting like it was an accident. The same brown-haired man from the opening is sitting in the corner watching this. He approaches the drunks, who get angry at him, and the four of them exit into the street to duke it out. The man, who is revealed as Sanosuke Sagara, wearing a kanji character that means 'Bad!' on his back. He states that he hates seeing the weak being picked on by stronger people, so he in turn deals crushing blows to the drunken fools. One almost pulls his sword, but Kenshin approaches this one from behind, calmly stating that he must reconsider. The drunks flee, and Sanosuke now approaches Kenshin. It appears that he noticed Kenshin intentionally getting hit by the plate, and is intrigued by his skill. He offers Kenshin a duel, but Kenshin, of course, declines.
Later that night, Sanosuke is in a hut talking with a mysterious man... who is revealed to be Gohei, now thumb-less. He contracts Sanosuke to take care of the Battousai, Himura Kenshin. Sanosuke, still anxious to fight Kenshin, agrees, and heads straight to the Kamiya Dojo.
Kenshin senses Sanosuke approaching even before he sets foot in the dojo, and goes outside to meet him. Yahiko and Kaoru follow at a distance. Sanosuke states his mission to Kenshin, and Kenshin is puzzled by this, hearing it come from someone who hates when others pick on weak people. Sanosuke tells him to drop the no-killing act, or else he'll lose the battle. Gohei is seen watching from behind a fence. Sanosuke reveals the Zanbatou, a huge sword that was built during the revolution to take out a soldier/horse with one blow. He rushes Kenshin, who jumps out of the way, flips off a tree, and lands on the other side safely. At this point, Gensai's two grandchildren come out. Sanosuke decides to postpone the battle until they can be alone, and takes his leave, just as the tree limb that Kenshin had rebounded off of falls and smacks Gohei on the head. . .it appears he cut it in the split-second his feet touched it. Kenshin takes the girls back inside, and Sanosuke retreats into the darkness...

Hi all, I've had terrariums for awhile now but I just started a new one a few weeks ago and today I noticed some weird things going on. I bought some plants from my local Home store, some Irish moss, a polka dot plant, and a bonsai tree. The terrarium is a glass house with an open roof, about a foot wide by half a foot. I used sphagnum peat moss soil and I usually water it by spraying it every other day with a spray bottle. I have been trying really hard to keep it nice and moist in there since it's so hard to keep anything alive in the dry heat of Nevada. I read somewhere that preserved moss could be revived by working it into soil and keeping it moist, so I thought I would give that a try around some of the rocks in my terrarium also. Everything was going perfectly these last few weeks, my plants were thriving, my soil was nice and moist, and there wasn't a problem at all. I put my terrarium on the floor yesterday to clean my table. Last night, my sister noticed a large white, boney-looking spider on the couch just a few feet from the terrarium (not a normal spider for Nevada) And by large I mean about 2 inches long. Then this morning I was pruning my plants and spraying them when I noticed this clear stringy web stuff going around the base of a little decor object and around the rocks in the soil. You wouldn't be able to see it except for the fact that I had just sprayed the water in there and you could see the raindrops (it looks like a spider web that's just been rained on). Then I notice this wet-looking brown round bug under one of the leaves of my bonsai tree. So I take it out and put it on paper. I thought it was a seed so I crunched it and it sounded like the crunch of a snail except it was long and fat and had antlers? It was about half an inch long, maybe a little smaller. Then I notice that there are white dots around my bonsai tree! They look like the white dots in soil, but I realized, my soil doesn't have white dots!! They're just scattered around my little tree's trunk. I am going to try to take a photo of my terrarium to post on here. But what could they be? Are the webs just moss growing in or spiders? Are the white things eggs or mold or fungus? I wouldn't mind bugs if they aren't going to hurt my terrarium but my polka dot plant has some holes in it from bugs feasting on it! And I have a very very big fear of spiders and the last thing I want is to be breeding spiders to live in my house or my terrarium!!! |

Pictures of the assorted issues will be a must. If you have spiders in the terr, then you have bugs there. (That's the whole reason spiders would be hanging around. Work on your phobia -- spiders are the good guys. ) I would guess the white dots are molds. FYI, bonsai really are not good candidates for terrs. |
The slimey stuff and snail you killed is clear indication you had a hitchhiker on a plant when You planted. Which is fairly common but now good. Glad you found him and keep an eye out for more. Also sounds like mold. |

Powder Her Face
Thomas Adès |
Powder Her Face |
June 7, 9m, 12, 14, 16m, 2013 | Aurora Series at the Perelman |
Being a duchess doesn't make her a lady.
Company Premiere and New Production
Only a notorious seductress like Margaret, Duchess of Argyll, could put an entire nation under her spell. Britain's upper crust was scandalized by her tabloid-perfect, can't-look-away divorce in 1963. As intimate details of her sexual proclivities and lurid tales of trysts with famous partners became public, she forever earned herself infamy as "The Dirty Duchess."
Based on real-life exploits, this bawdy social satire has earned its own notoriety with contemporary composer Thomas Adès's groundbreaking chamber opera. Drawing upon everything from big band and swing to Strauss and Schubert, Powder Her Face is both comic and tragic, eclectic and electrifying. Conducted by Music Director Corrado Rovaris, this new production directed by William Kerley depicts six decades of memories that emerge from various wardrobes and doors of the Duchess's hotel room until the excesses of her life threaten to swallow her up.
Please be advised that Powder Her Face features adult situations which are inappropriate for young audiences.

bulimia nervosa
bulimia nervosa
Eating disorder, mostly in women, in which excessive concern with weight and body shape leads to binge eating followed by compensatory behaviour such as self-induced vomiting or the excessive use of laxatives or diuretics. The disorder typically begins in adolescence or early adulthood and is associated with depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Bulimia can have serious medical complications such as dental decay and dehydration. Treatment may include psychotherapy. Unlike persons with anorexia nervosa, most bulimics remain close to their proper weight.

As a defender the addition of the Impact Engine is even more significant; you'll be working out how best to push against a runner and muscle him into a position he'd rather not be in. You'll also have to be careful where you put your feet though because, with every inch of every leg now being nice and sensitive, there are far more ways to incur a foul.
It makes for more tactical tussles, more realistic tumbles and more things to consider both on and off the ball. Players are forced to take their time, mix up play, work around obstacles and ride an extra level of tension. Overall, it's a great addition - but it's not without its quirks.
Apart from the occasional Laurel and Hardy moment in the box, when players trip over their downed teammates and flop face-to-arse to the floor, referees can also show themselves to be not quite as up to speed with the new physical nuances as you'd perhaps like.
To be fair to the refs they're often spot on and we've had to go to a super close-up slow-mo replay to see that, actually, we did get the man first and maybe shouldn't have sworn at his mum.
However, there are times when the man in black lets us get away with murder and, with the devastating crunches the ragdoll engine allows, that's not always too far from the truth.
Ever feared for Patrice Evra's life after he's been knocked clean off the pitch into a broken pile with an off the ball blind-sider? We have. The referee, however, didn't bat a lid.
But FIFA 12's physics engine does substantially more good than harm. Any moments of farce are infrequent enough to be forgiven and - from a pure enjoyment point of view - only adds to the banter between mates.
Get Stuck In
It's not the only back-of-the-box newcomer that forces you to seriously reconsider your approach to FIFA either. This year's edition sees tackling get a near complete overhaul.
What it essentially does is take away the ability to home in on the ball with a defender. In previous editions you could hold A/X and send your man scampering after the ball automatically like a heat-seeking man-missile, confident he would effortlessly dispossess the attacker if he managed to make contact with the ball.
Life's not so easy anymore. Now, holding A/X only draws your defender so far. Instead of getting stuck in and doing all the work for you he'll stop short of the attack and jockey the opponent. In theory it's your job to move in the rest of the way and time your intercepting toe poke with a press of B/circle or slide with X/square.
In practice your player never seems to be able to get close enough to stick a leg in, with an invisible wall stopping us from jockeying close enough to make contact with the ball. Not to worry though, since the option to tackle completely manually proves much more fruitful and, it turns out, far more satisfying.
We find that running in and unleashing a standing or sliding tackle all on your lonesome is the way to go with FIFA 12. It makes you realise how much you used to rely on the old homing mechanism to hit the target. Even in a brief, one-on-one training drill we had to get used to running in a straight line to intercept.
We're glad that homing defenders are out. Manual tackling is tough but you will get used to it. It works well and, once mastered you'll feel a greater sense of defensive achievement than you did in any other FIFA title.
There's an extra twist to tackling that makes each attempt even more of an event as well; in FIFA 12 defenders don't just stick out a quick half-arsed leg in an attempt to get the ball, they properly commit to standing tackles sacrificing speed and balance as a result.

Eugène Atget French, Paris, about 1898 Albumen print 7 x 8 1/8 in. 94.XM.108.11
In the center of this image, four handsomely dressed young girls entertain themselves playing or drawing in the sand. One of them, looking directly into Eugene Atget's lens, is clearly more interested in the photographer. A child too young to participate with the older girls stands eyeing her toy, while a boy on the run appears to have stopped mid-step, curiously staring at the photographer. A nanny looms over the children in the foreground. Gardens such as this one are an enduring aspect of Parisian life, offering a welcome respite from the city's busy boulevards.

Today I re-staked my Meyer Lemon tree with a new, strong bamboo stake because the other one was split down the middle. While I was doing this I noticed that there had been no new growth in the month I've had it. Is that normal? Is it still in transplant/travel shock. I ordered it from Four Wind Growers so it did come in the mail. -- Thanks, Carl |

Oh! Here is a picture of what it currently looks like. It's on my porch hardening off so I can stick it in full sun in a couple weeks. |
- Posted by blazeaglory 10 SZ22 OC Ca (My Page) on Sat, May 12, 12 at 20:43
Im sure once you put it in full sun it will start to take off with new growth. Citrus like sun. |
a SERIOUS suggestion... lose the stake; your Meyer doesn't need support; and staking it, almost guarantees that it will break in the future. If you are afraid, about taking off the stake, at least every 3 months move the ties down 3-4 inches. Trunks get strong by bending... the technical term Sphygmomorphogenesis... look it up if you have a BIG dictionary... it means something like pumping iron for big muscles... when the twig flexes, it gets stronger. |

Dr. Citrus, The leaves on my tree are not from animals or from trimming. I ordered this tree from Four Winds Growers and some of the leaves got mangles when I took the tree out of the box. Johnmerr, -- |
I totally agree! I'm sure that your plants come with stakes, and tied to the point of strangulation! That's to get it though the shipping process in one piece. Stakes and ties need to be removed. |
I keep mine loosely staked, meaning the stake holds the new tree up by threading it between an array of strong branches, and then into the container. The stake is not tied to the tree at all. I leave it just until the roots "anchor" because I find that my newly-planted containerized trees in gritty mix or 5:1:1 will tilt very easily...luckily 4 Winds only uses 1 stake and it's attached loosely during shipment, if it's attached at all. Your tree looks great! The Meyer I received at around the same time was losing leaves, but that seems to have stopped now :-) |
- Posted by CraziiiCarl 5b (My Page) on Sun, May 13, 12 at 11:10
All, Thanks for your advice! I just removed my stake a couple minutes ago and the plant is still up right. The only noticeable difference is the fact that it sways just a tiny bit more and the branches have spread out farther. That means more light to the inner leaves! Mandarin1 my Meyer lost like ten or twelve lower leaves a couple weeks back (probably because it was being constantly moved inside to escape the cooler weather) but now it's stopped. During that time I got creative and wrapped a tomato cage in a couple layers of plastic wrap and set a couple of gallon jugs of water in the bottom and I had my own mini green house! That's when the leaves stopped falling because I wasn't bringing it in and out any more and the temps weren't fluctuating as much. I took it out of the "green house" two weeks ago. -- Thanks, Carl |
Great greenhouse idea! I'm going to try that with any new additions that are struggling. Remember I wanted to see whether the variegated Pink lemon would handle transition better than the Meyer? Unfortunately it won't be a fair comparison. The Pink arrived quite traumatized, and I've sprayed it because I saw webs. It would probably benefit from your greenhouse idea because it isn't happy... Thanks for sharing! Best of luck with your Meyer going forward! Mary |
- Posted by CraziiiCarl 5b (My Page) on Sun, May 13, 12 at 14:31
Mary, Thanks! What I did with the green house is when the sun goes down is put a lay of plastic wrap on the top and then a towel or two to help hold in the heat. As it gets warmer though you should make sure that there is some air flow because, at least with mine, the temperatures would get up to 100 easily if the top was covered. So to kind of monitor the temperatures I put a kitchen thermometer with one of the probes that is attached to a long cord. Then I had it set so it would beep if it got up to 90 so it would remind me to take the plastic off the top. I also secured the frame to the ground with both the little metal stakes attached to the bottom and with tent stakes. With both of these things to secure it it stood up to our early spring thunderstorms here. Glad I could help because I'm usually the one getting help. Oh! And here's a picture of my "green house". Since I'm not using it its "resting" by the shed. -- Thanks, Carl |

All, We'll I came home today to the sight of my leaning out of the pot almost parallel to the ground. Luckily it didn't tear any roots. During this time I just decided to gently dump the tree out of its pot and to my dismay there was no new root growth and the bottom of the pot was still very wet despite the mix being about 50% perlite and the last time I watered was over two weeks ago! So I decided to re-pot it into a much smaller clay pot so it will dry faster and unfortunately I had to re-stake it again because even after re-potting the tree kept leaning at about a 45 degree angle. Don't mistake me saying that the trunk was bending! It was perfectly straight just starting to pull the roots out of the soil to lean over, so I decided to re-stake it loosely for the time being just to help it stand up straight until the roots final start the really grab the soil. Another question I have is whether or not I should remove the leaves that were damaged in shipping. I know it would probably trigger a flush so should I wait until its settled in so I don't stress it even more? -- Thanks, Carl |

Cheap Las Vegas Car Rental - We compare top brands
Don't gamble when deciding on your Las Vegas Car Rental!
Las Vegas is known as both "The Entertainment Capital of the World" and "Sin
City". It's truly a complete resort destination, offering amenities like
casino-hotels, fine dining, live entertainment and 21st century trade
shows and conventions. The world-famous Las Vegas Strip lets visitors
take a romantic walk on a warm desert night, or drive downtown in a
rental car to the spectacular light show of the Fremont Street
Experience. There are so many photo opportunities, like the Sphinx of
Egypt, Eiffel Tower and erupting volcanoes, that you should pack an
extra memory card for your camera and don't forget your iPhone charger!Las Vegas as seen from The Rio, panorama photography by Cameron Grant
- the Las Vegas nightlife!
- art displays!
- gambling!
- live music shows!
- museums (from classic to contemporary)!
Are you flying to Vegas? Want to book a cheap car rental at the Las Vegas airport?
Travelers to Las Vegas will usually arrive at the sprawling McCarran International Airport. McCarran International is located five miles south of the Las Vegas business district. With four runways and an area of 2800 acres, the airport ranked ninth worldwide in 2010 for arrivals and departures, with over half a million planes moved! And along with that bustle, there's a little bit of hustle – the airport has more than 1200 slot machines throughout its terminals.At McCarran, car rental companies are consolidated three miles from the airport. Arriving rental car customers are given free transport to the McCarran Rent-A-Car Center on Gilespie Street on a blue-and-white McCarran shuttle. The shuttles are environmentally friendly buses running on "G-Diesel" fuel, and each is ADA equipped to provide access for customers with disabilities or special needs. To reach the shuttles, follow the signs to "Ground Transportation" from the baggage claim area. The shuttles pick up outside Terminal 1 door numbers 10 and 11, and West doors 1-4 or East doors 5-8 of Terminal 3. Off-site rental agencies pick up at Space #4 near the taxi area at the Rent-A-Car Center.
The 24-hour state-of-the-art Rent-A-Car Center offers customer service perks including self-service flight and baggage check-in. Customers are advised to plan for additional time necessary to get to and from the Rent-A-Car Center, and for the shuttles to and from the airport.
If you're in a hurry, renting a Las Vegas car rental through VroomVroomVroom is still the best option! We guarantee you of having the lowest price and you can see our price promise here.
Here is some helpful information about exciting Las Vegas!
The Northern Club was the first Las Vegas casino when it opened in 1931. (It's now the La Bayou.) Today, the Golden Nugget is the largest hotel and casino in the city. Most major casinos are downtown on the Fremont Street Experience, the Stratosphere being the major exception.The Las Vegas valley stretches long past the neon lights, and your rental car can transport you to the amazing Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, or to breathtaking panoramic views at Mountain Charleston or the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
Las Vegas does not have major professional sports teams, although it does have the Las Vegas 51s of the Pacific Coast League, the AAA baseball farm team of the New York Mets.
Northern Club photo by Las Vegas 360
Las Vegas was once a stopover for pioneers trekking west to settle areas like California. It became a city in the early 1900s, but it was the 1931 legalization of gambling and 1935 completion of the Hoover Dam that led to a boom in residents, tourism and the beginnings of the casino-hotels. Hoover Dam – 30 miles southeast of the city – forms Lake Mead, the biggest man-made lake in the country.
Las Vegas has one of the world's most advanced urban transportation systems. The Las Vegas Monorail Company was formed in 2000, but not everyone was happy about it. The taxi and limousine companies saw it as a threat to their business because a report predicted that the monorails will approximately have 26,600 riders per day. Thankfully, that conflict was resolved and we now enjoy more transportation options in the city.
Blackjack tables, showgirls, neon lights and Elvis imitators -- you can find it all in Las Vegas. Today, Las Vegas serves as host to Broadway shows and Grammy-award winning entertainers, luxury retail stores along the Las Vegas Strip, and adults craving a lifestyle of decadence indulging in five-star restaurants and midnight buffets. Las Vegas has, and always will be, the heartbeat of the desert. As a year-round destination travelers can always find deals on Las Vegas flights and car rental using the search box above.
Drive down in your rental to the Titanic Museum in the Luxor Hotel and Casino and check out the "Titanic, the Artifact Exhibition" just south on the Las Vegas Boulevard! Many items from the tragic incident have been recovered and are showcased on a 25,000 square foot exhibit!
Stay anywhere on Las Vegas Boulevard and drive your rental over to Bodies, the Exhibition in Las Vegas, where you can see 3D images of the real human body! There are 9 rooms that exhibit preserved bodies and organs donated from China. Each room is dedicated to different parts of the body with full and detailed explanations!
Rent a car with us in Las Vegas and take a drive to the newly opened City Center! This city within a city offers even more to do on the Vegas Strip! Do some shopping at the Crystal, or take a walk to the Aria, Vdara, Mandarin Oriental, or the Harmon and grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants to choose from!
Regardless of its catchy tourism advertisements, visitors to the city of Las Vegas will tell stories to their family, friends and neighbors for years. It's a city filled with world-class restaurants, luxurious spas and five-star hotels. At the same time, the spectacle of Elvis Presley impersonators, the attraction of slot machines and beautiful wonders like the Bellagio Fountains give tourists many experiences to talk about. "What happens in Vegas," as they say, doesn't stay there. The stories are too good not to share!
What is the Las Vegas climate REALLY LIKE?
Las Vegas is within a subtropical desert – the Mojave.
Sunshine is plentiful year-round, with an average ratio of 10 sunny days to one day with rain or snow.
June through September is a harsh, hot and dry season, with average daytime highs around 95 degrees Fahrenheit and lows at night around 73.
It's very common to exceed 100 degrees with very low humidity.
Make sure your car rental has working air conditioning!
The Las Vegas winter is short and mild.
While mountains surrounding Las Vegas do accumulate snow during the short and mild winters, snowfall is rare in the Las Vegas Valley.
- Winter temperatures sometimes drop to around freezing but are rarely recorded below 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

Rihanna's "Stay" is here to stay … one way or another.
When RiRi performed the slow-burn ballad solo on SNL earlier this year, and then again with Mikky Ekko at the Grammys in February, America got to see a new, more vulnerable side to the perpetually hard-shelled pop diva.
And America has gotten to see a whole lot of "Stay" covers, too; from Vin Diesel's indescribable basement-karaoke rendition to Rebecca Black's latest bid for relevancy, we've rounded up the most memorable ones thus far:

2012 Gold Addy Award Winner for UrbanForestProject.com
Our client, Friends of Grand Rapids Parks, had an ambitious plan to crowd-source data gathering about the city's forest, build awareness of the benefits of a healthy tree canopy, and get citizens more engaged with our trees.
Plenty created a website that would invite the public to get involved and make it easy to participate in gathering the data. We created a user interface design for the online TreeMap, making it simple for any citizen to search for, identify, and help map local trees.
We also designed a custom tree identification key PDF and tree tags, then created promotional material and signage to build awareness of the initiative.

CustomerBryant from Jacksonville FL
First I watched the vid, from this website that showed how to replace a pump on the Whirlpool model I have. It was very helpful. Then, on the same web page as the vid for washer pump replacement several DIYers describe how they did the repair and rate how difficult it was. This also was very helpful. The info from these two sources confirmed to me that it was the pump that was leaking. Tilting the washer back far enough so I could see the pump also visually confirmed it was the pump. If the pump had come off easily I would not have had to take the cabinet off. All I would have had to do was lay the washer on its' back to get the pump off. But noooo, the pump was rusted so tightly to the motors' shaft that I had to be more aggressive, to remove the pump, than the measures mentioned in the vid. After finally getting the pump off I saw that the end of the motors' shaft had corroded and was misshapened enough so that I had to "persuade" the new pump onto the shaft. I also ordered these parts (1. Direct Drive Coupling 2. Agitator Repair Kit and 3. Clutch Assembly) after I read in the DIYers descriptions that many of them, who changed their pump, also changed these parts. Since my washer was 15 yrs old it made sense to replace these parts which usually wear out before the pump. Unfortunately, after I got everything reassembled the new pump leaked more than the old one. Guess I over-"persuaded" the new pump onto the shaft. That, and I don't think the new pump is as well built as the original so it couldn't take much persuasion. Now I either: 1. buy a new pump and motor or 2. buy a new washer which is what I'll most likely do. If I had a do-over I would only get the pump. If it worked properly with no leaks, then I would buy the other 3 parts, if it didn't work, I would only be out $40 instead of the $95 I'm out for the 4 items. Being frugal or, as my family says, "cheap," I do have to be careful. There is a point where repairing something old is more a point of pride than good sense. I don't know where that point is and I definitely wouldn't have brought this up if the new pump had fixed the washer. Also, after struggling for quite some time to put the cabinet back on, I Googled "how do I get a Whirlpool washer cabinet back on?" After watching one of the vids Google answered back-I was able to put the cabinet back on in less than 10 minutes.I hope this has been helpful. Happy DIYing!

CustomerPATRICIA from ORINDA CA
I'm really impressed with this website. I was able to quickly diagnose the problem with my machine. I watched the video and thought that this was something that I might be able to do myself. I'm a woman and I like to understand how things work and do my own repairs when I can. My machine is over 16 years old, so I had to scrape some waxy-like buildup from the inner cap before I could remove it. Other than that, I followed the instructional video, which was excellent. I found that I did not need the inner cap seal that I had ordered because a new one was included in the agitator repair kit.
CustomerRandy from Des Moines IA
First I removed the liquid fabric softener cover, then removed the seal with my fingers, then used a socket with an extension to remove the single bolt that holds the agitator to the spindle. Next, I pulled up to remove the agitator and tipped it upside down to take out the centrifugal mechanism. Then, I simply replaced the old parts with the new ones, and put it back together, as it shows in the included diagram. It took about fifteen minutes. I was glad to be able to go online, and quickly locate the exact parts our machine needed, at a reasonable price! Our machine now works like new again.
Time to do repair:Less than 15 mins
CustomerDaniel from Centreville MD
was really simple like others before me described. Removed cap to excess recessed bolt. Once that was out of the way pulled up gently on agitator and disassembled the agitator from base. Actually repair only took about 8 minutes. Working like new again and that keeps everybody happy! Thanks again.
CustomerAlex from Madisonville KY
First take Fabric Softener Dispenser and cap off Agitator, locate nut, unscrew and wiggle up and out. Agitator Repair Kit comes with the cam dogs and assembly that you put together. (They will only fit one way) I opted to get the Upper Agitator as well since the old one had frayed edges. It is easier to turn over the Upper Agitator and place the assembled Repair Kit inside it then turn over and replace in original position. Using old nut, screw to the lower agitator. Replace cap and Fabric Softener Dispenser.
Customerpierre from e greenwich RI
popped off softener cap, easy. Pulled out clear plastic sealer, removed nut holding agitator in, pulled out agitator. Removed cam holder, new cam bearing etc in, reverse removal done, piece of cake.
CustomerWilliam from Nashua NH
I removed dispenser for softener, then pulled cap inside upper agitator, I was able to get my fingers in the grips and pull firmly to unseat it. (disgard o-ring it comes with the repair kit). I then removed the bolt from center and grabbed the bottom of the lower agitator and gave it a good tug to release the whole unit. If that don't work you can get a flat tip screwdriver between the two sections and pry up slightly. Once it was all loose I removed the upper assembly taking care to to remember how all the pieces were assembled. replaced everything in the same order and when it came time to reinstall the inner cap and seal I made sure I put the cap in straight. Also if the seal doesn't cooperate you can use a little liquid soap to lubricate it. you dont want to use grease because it could possibly get on the clothes (the softener sits in there)! You can use the tip of the screwdriver to tuck the oring in if that doesn't work but be very careful
ToolsScrew drivers, Socket set
Customerlarry from chester VA
Remove softener dispencer, use flat tip screw driver to remove agitator cap, there is a slot, insert flat tip screw driver and pry up, once removed you will see the damaged dogs or cogs, use 3/8 drive ratchet with 10 or 12 inch extention and if memory serves me correct a 9/16 socket, loosen bolt and remove top agitator, there is a thrust washer between bottom and top agitator, it comes in the kit, use a little grease preferrably water resistant grease on top of washer, replace top agitator then the plastic device that the cog are inserted into and tighten bolt, put agitator cover back on with a gentle slap of the palm and reinstall softener dispencer, you are done and cloths will agitate properly again, fairly easy job and washer agitator works like new, great kit, would reccomend.
ToolsPliers, Socket set
CustomerGerry from Rhinebeck NY
The agitator kit comes with everything you see in the picture plus the Thrust spacer and O ring. Removed the fabric softener container from the top of the agitator. This revealed the sealing cap that covers the bolt. Removed it using the 2 little handles and rocked it back and forth until it came loose. It doesn't take that much force. Now you see the the bolt to remove. You'll need a socket wrench that has a long extension section ( I didn't have one so I put 2 smaller extension on / it works). Once the wrench was securely in place on the bolt, I held onto the bottom section agitator/ fin with one hand and removed the bolt with the other. I pulled up on the unit and both agitator sections came off together. Once out of the machine, I held the bottom section with my feet and pulled up on the upper section to separate them ( pretty easy) . Removed all the old parts to replace and did a complete clean up of the shaft and bottom( mine was 21 years since serviced there). Used agitator grease on the cleaned shaft area and on the Thrust spacer section. I assembled the agiator dog ears part asper instruction and used a needle nose pliers to remove the plastic nubs that are only use for factory installations. Put the assembly into the agitator tube, then onto the lower section. I put that back onto the shaft, wiggling it until it fell into the grooved section. Once everything was in place, I put in the bolt ( didn't get a new one in time, so I used the old one / it works) and tightened it good. I put a new O ring on the protective cap. I greased it a little so it would go back into place easily, it did. Replaced the softener holder and I was done. Works like new.
Customermarty from newalla OK
I ordered my parts from partselect and had them at my door the following day (AWESOME!) I removed the dispensor on the top of the agitator and reached inside to remove the protective cover to the cams/bearing area. I then removed the center bolt (7/16) and lifted the agitator off the shaft. Replaced the parts I ordered (Part Number: PS334650Agitator repair kit, and replaced the Upper Agitator Part Number: PS342399) Everything fit perfectly and the instructions were quite simple. Washer now works like a charm and I didn't have to replace my washer. I was very impressed and surprised with the delivery time of my order. I will definitely use this website again for any appliance repairs I need. MrL 11/2010
CustomerMerlin from Bath ME
Followed the directions provided. Took less than 15 minutes and the washer works like new.
CustomerYvonne from Saint James MO
The process to replace the nylon pieces was to remove the protective cap, (which snaps in place),agitator (which is held in place with a nut) you will need a socket with an extention to reach the nut, and worn parts. replace the agitator repair kit, agitator and protective cap and your washer works as good as new. This is a very simple repair job, even a 10 yr old could do this
Level of DifficultyA Bit Difficult

CustomerTeresa from Elkin NC
I watched the video, it went step by step, the screws were not the same as on the video but not hard to figure out how to take control top off. The rest was easy, the video was so easy to follow. The only problem I had was trying to put the cabinet back on the base, I had to have my husband help me, otherwise it was easy. This is the first time I have ever tried to fix a washing machine, I had been looking at new ones, but I decided to try my hand at fixing the problem and I am glad I did,my husband is so proud that I did it by myself that he is telling all our family and friends. I will shop this website again. Thank you
CustomerMark from Whitehall PA
I removed the cap over the ratchet mechanism, removed the ut holding the agitator in place, removed the agitator and cleaned all the parts. The assembly for the ratchet dogs was a 3 piece assembly that was included in the kit I bought from Part Select. I also bought a new cap and gasket since my old gasket had broken too. A new gasket was already included in the kit, so I didn't need ot buy the cap. I liked that th ekit included everything I needed and good instructions. parts got to me in about 3 days. Very happy with my Parts Select experience and the fact I saved at least $100.

I'm looking for recommmendations for a quality face powder/blush brush (full-size, not travel or purse size).
I would like one that doesn't shed, or at least one with light-colored hairs so if it does shed and I don't notice (I'm half blind :-),
Brand names and approximate cost would be appreciated. Thanks! Jodi- |

Most eyeshadow brushes are light color but I haven't seen a powder or blush brush in light color. And I'm not sure if 100% shed-free brushes are out there. You can go to sephora.com to see what kind of brushes they've. One of the best brand is Trish McEvoy, very expensive. Mac is not bad. At ulta.com check out Japonesque brand. From drugstore new Loreal brushes are good, so are Sonia Kashuk (Target), Prestige and Maybelline. Paula's Choice brushes are very soft but I had no luck with her brush blush. I could have gotten a bad one since most people raved her brushes. |

Thanks for your suggestions Krisb. I'll start my research with your input in mind. Jodi- |
Makeup artists often use Shu Umura brushes. They're supposed to be the best quality, if pricier (but sometimes you get what you pay for). |
I've been using the Basic Minerals foundation and it is applied with a brush. Mine came with a large round brush that also shed on my face a bit. I just bought one of their brushes that is flat with a rounded tip, about an inch wide, and bright orange colored bristles. It gives much more coverage, like painting the powders on my face. So far, it hasn't shed at all. I now use the round brush to lightly blend the foundation and blush so it doesn't shed as much as when I was using it to burnish the foundation for coverage. The new brush was under $20 - around $18 as I recall. |
