cute but I am not WOWed
By Ananas
from Toronto
I wanted to get these for a while. They are very cute and look exactly as pictured. I don't know if they have enough WOW factor for their price though. This is the only reason I might be returning them, otherwise very nice pair.

Date 2004-10-09 Availability unrestricted Abstract In this study, a semiotic point of view of selected literature written by 'coloured' writers is examined, using some of the semiotic theories of Jurij M. Lotman, one of the leading Soviet semioticians of the school of Tartu.Selected theories of Lotman are applied to 'coloured' literature. These include an examination of poetic language (based on Lotman's theory of a primary and secondary modelling system), the iconicity of the text, the aesthetics of identity and opposition, the distinction between text and extra-text, and the relationship that exists between the extra-text, culture and code.
The literary texts chosen for analysis are works by three contemporary 'coloured' writers, namely Adam Small, Peter Snyders and Robert Pearce, who have all contributed poetry, prose and drama to Afrikaans literature in general, and original Afrikaans literature in particular. The selected dramas are Joanie Galant-hulle (Small 1978), Political Joke (Snyders 1983) and Die Laaste Supper in Marabastad (Pearce 1988b)*. These writers' works span approximately three consecutive decades and their work can be examined for commonality and differences. The three chosen dramas were written five years apart respectively; yet they reveal thematic similarities. The dramas also feature a common 'deviant' language code used by 'coloured' people and discussed in this study as original Afrikaans. This code, which is juxtaposed with standard Afrikaans, is one of the basic areas of interest that motivated the choice of subject for this study.
The primary objective of this study is to examine the differentiation that Lotman makes between the various sign systems that operate in natural language (the primary modelling system) and poetic language (a secondary modelling system), and to determine whether these sign systems can be detected and are functional in 'coloured' literature. In addition, an investigation is made of the iconicity that operates in poetic language (which, according to Lotman, is the basis for differentiation), and to ascertain whether iconicity occurs in these examples of 'coloured' literature and to what extent it influences meaning. In the process, intratextual relations within the poetic text were scrutinised to establish whether the manipulation of language, devices and codes raises any particular expectation in the poetic text, and also to detect whether oppositionally constituted code-systems which set up their own patterns of expectation within the syntactic and lexical levels of the poetic text clash with and contradict prior expectations.
In addition, an analysis has been made to determine whether a new understanding of the texts can be reached, based on Lotman's aesthetics of identity and opposition, and to what extent the reader is forced to collaborate in the modelling process of the texts when the reader's expectations are undermined by an aesthetics of opposition.
The study has successfully corroborated and substantiated all the selected aspects of Lotman's theory. The differentiation that Lotman makes between the primary and secondary language model is demonstrated especially by the iconicity that operates in poetic language. Examples are abundant in the selected literature and are conspicuous, especially through the manipulation of the language, devices and codes employed by the authors to defamiliarise objects so that they transcend their familiar characteristics and perceptions, and sometimes signify a totally new concept. In this way, readers' expectations are subverted and they are invited to collaborate in the modelling process of the texts. These techniques are also an integral part of both the text and the extra-text, and their presence justifies Lotman's claims that the meaning of a literary text cannot be understood outside its cultural or historical context.
In retrospect, it can be argued that this research has opened up some additional avenues for an analysis of meaning in 'coloured' literature.

Luciano Rigolini - What You See
Anonymous snapshots are ideal projection screens: they stimulate the viewers' imagination and invite us to invent stories. The photographer and artist Luciano Rigolini, who was born in Italian-speaking Switzerland in 1950, demonstrates that such snapshots, when removed from their context, can also convey an entirely different visual experience. Rigolini assembles found objects dug up at flea markets, in second-hand shops, or on the Internet into a new, autonomous work - into a grammar of seeing and perceiving. Rigolini is interested above all in snapshots in which, consciously or unconsciously, form and structure move into the foreground, so that the specific pictorial content becomes secondary. In his cleverly arranged sequences, the photographs can no longer be read merely as reproductions of reality. They turn out to be artifacts that construct reality.
This magical, equally surreal and structural installation of snapshots is juxtaposed with Rigolini's "urban landscapes" of the 1990s. In these unusual cityscapes, he was already radically questioning our conventions of seeing, and they correspond in astonishing ways to the anonymous photographs. In a continuation of its theme, the exhibition What You See is showing for the first time a series of recent "machine photographs": in them Rigolini transforms unassuming technical, functional photographs - again objets trouvés - into large-format tableaus of considerable aesthetic appeal. It is a game that tosses the viewers back and forth between banality and deeper meaning.
In collaboration with the Museo Cantonale d'Arte, Lugano.

Where Mike Myers got ''Axe Murderer'' inspiration
While you'd have to be dozing not to catch the parallels between 1987's black comedy Throw Momma From the Train and Alfred Hitchcock's 1951 classic Strangers on a Train the former even contains a film clip from the latter it might not hit you that last year's screwball So I Married an Axe Murderer owes its whole premise to the master's 1941 Suspicion. In each film, a newly married person comes to believe that his/her seemingly perfect mate is in fact a murderer who plans on making him/her the next victim. In Suspicion, bride Joan Fontaine thinks her ultra-suave groom, Cary Grant, is a killer, while in Axe Murderer, groom Mike Myers decides that his smart, sexy new wife (Nancy Travis) is a serial husband slayer.
An additional homage to Hitch occurs in a potentially-poisonous-health-shake scene that's a direct takeoff on Suspicion's famed luminous-glass-of-milk sequence. But there the similarities end, since Axe Murderer is a full-blast comedy. It seemed slight in theaters Myers (SNL and Wayne's World) is great as his character's irascibly Scottish dad, though as romantic lead Charlie MacKenzie he's stretched too thin but as an evening's rental, it provides an embarrassment of silly riches. Travis is unstoppably charming, and well-integrated comic cameos by Alan Arkin, Phil Hartman, and Steven Wright keep things chugging.
As for Suspicion, in which the emotional core is provided by the impossibly wimpy Fontaine, it plays a bit disappointingly for an acknowledged classic. A few bravura sequences aside, it's fairly flat. Sure, it's worth seeing, but Axe Murderer is a lot sharper. Axe Murderer: B+; Suspicion: B

Film Title: Citizen Toxie : The Toxic Avenger Part 4 | Year Released: 2000 | |
Reviewed By: Egregious Gurnow | ||
Movie Website: Click Here | ||
Overall Stars: *** | Scare Factor: ** | |
We come to expect a narrative, with each successive sequel, to get progressively worse, the acting more decrepit, and the directing to be less and less existent. However, as paradoxical as it might be, with intentional B-movie fare this rule of thumb works to a franchise's advantage and, fortunately for his viewers, director Lloyd Kaufman took full advantage of this opportunity by giving us not just one or two sequels, but--to date--four chapters in the Toxic Avenger series. This having been said, Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV not only doesn't disappoint, but mounts to a level which might have been expected for the eighth of ninth installment. Alas, no one does it like Kaufman! While attempting to save the Tromaville School for the Very Special from the Diaper Mafia, The Toxic Avenger (David Mattey) and his sidekick, Lardass (Joe Fleishaker), accidentally open an interdimensional gate to the town's polar metropolis, Amortville. During the rift, Toxie and his doppelganger, The Noxious Offender, or Noxie (David Mattey), exchange resident locales. While the former attempts to return to his own dimension, Noxie doubly impregnates Toxie's wife, Sarah (Heidi Sjursen), while reaping havoc upon the peaceful populace. Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV opens with a voiceover by Stan Lee, apologizing for the first two sequels to The Toxic Avenger before decreeing that the film we are about to watch is the real sequel to the original. Once Sarah, Toxie's consistently name-changing girlfriend throughout the series, appears blind once more (as we left her in the original), we are forced to acknowledge that the apology is to be taken seriously. But, as with every Troma film, Kaufman seizes the opportunity to poke fun at himself in that, having renamed the character three times in the span of four films, once we encounter Sarah's opposite in Amortville--Claire (as the character was redubbed for Parts II and III), thus implying what Kaufman really thinks of the previous two films. But, as the director also did with said installments, we once again see other new faces representing steadfast, established characters as the titular character is now played by David Mattey as--blasphemy!--Toxie is likewise, given a new look. As can be expected, Kaufman ups the ante in most every respect from the previous chapters as we are presented with satires of . . . well . . . just about everything. Among the most memorable instances amid the continuous onslaught of mockery, we are given Troma's rendition of famed physicist Stephen Hawking via one Doctor Flem Hocking (James Gunn, looking like Billy Joe of Green Day), the "noted science guy" with "obligatory exposition." As always, narrative legislation is breeched as Hocking is used as a plot explicator who outlines all of the juxtaposed confusion which preceded his introduction, beginning with a cunning exposition concerning the existence of "Amortville" (loosely translated as "a town of death"). This is after we are issued a hostage crisis lead by the Diaper Mafia as reported by Channel 69's Tromaville Action News team (the station's insignia being "TnA"), which weighs the influences that might have played into the terrorist group's motivation for their killings, as the anchors cite music, movies, and video games as possible culprits but adamantly refuse to humor the notion that violence seen on the evening news played any role whatsoever in the unfortunate event. Next, in signature Troma style, a black man (Barry Brisco) is drug behind a truck. Toxie apprehends the driver (Mitch Cohen, the original Toxic Avenger), burns him to the point where the figure appears to be in blackface, and delivers him to a Klan rally. In order to keep from exhausting its satirical value midway through the picture, Kaufman then takes us to Abortions 'R Us, which is lined by picketers chanting "Choose Life or Die," before a very pregnant Sarah is reported as needing to be "de-fetused" stat. Last but not least, we have a barrage of parodies of American superheroes with the Vibrator (Lauren Heather McMahon), a female superhero whose name speaks for itself; a satire upon Aquaman with the introduction of Dolphinman (Olivier Tendon), who is admittedly pretty ineffective unless water comes into play; the Man Cowboy (Anthony Cantanese), an insane bovine-human mutant; Master-Bator (Jarred Alterman), an auto-stimulating rapper; and irrefutably the best actor in the Troma series, Sergeant Kabukiman, NYPD (Paul Kyrmse), an Eastern protagonist who is perpetually drunk (though, sadly, the filmmakers have him drinking Vodka at every turn instead of Sake). Trademark laughs by way of satire disguised as irrelevancy are abound as two Tromavillians stand beside the town's welcoming sign and tear off sheets of paper from the population listing like calendar days as Noxie depopulates the village. Mocking the discrepancy between reel and real time in cinema, as the bomb which will trigger the interdimensional rift announces T-5, Toxie breaks in order to impregnate Sarah, have her pack his lunch, and stops to chat with a gay, mentally challenged, junkie (Michael Budinger), all before returning in the nick of time. Yet, above all else, Sarah's pregnancy test results, which read, "Congratulations. Sorry you're pregnant," stand second only to the very subtle, yet highly creative, phonetic play between the terms "Nazi" and "Noxie," as our antagonist's fascist army house red armbands with their leader's face in place of a swastika. What would a Troma pic be without a handful of homages posited tongue-in-cheek? In reference to the original in the series, yet going one more in so doing, we have once again Terry Gilliam's Monty Python and the Holy Grail with a double arm removal sequence. Remember the beheading scene in the original? How about the old lady whom Toxie helps across the street? Well, not only does Kaufman combine the two to a very explicit degree, but he signs off by having Doris Troncillito's character shit herself as the last bits of life ooze from her decapitated corpse. Victor Fleming's The Wizard of Oz is utilized once again as well as Auntie Em is mentioned atop Toxie wearily admitting that "I don't think we're in Tromaville anymore" before the key to returning home is made possible by similar methods utilized in the 1939 production. But the fun doesn't stop here. Obviously, given the title, Orson Welles's masterpiece is redrawn as we enter "Tromadu," a Tromatized version of Zanadu, as Hugh Hefner's playboy mansion stands in for the famed newspaper giant's home, only overtly delivered as a bordello parading as a palace of prestige. On par with his ever-present insistence upon cinematic deconstruction, Kaufman places his allusion to Welles next to Frank Henenlotter's cult classic, Brain Damage, as we are victim to a personified penis after delivering his requisite 3 Stooges jibe before wrapping up with a wink-and-a-nod to David Fincher's lost line in Fight Club, "I want to have your abortion." Surprisingly, amid the parodies, laughs, and various allusions, as the staple gore from the original returns by the vat-ful, we are presented--for the first time--with actual character development but, as can be expected, Kaufman reserves this valued cinematic technique for a minor character as he continues to bombard us with intentionally poor overdubbing via his main character. However, as much chaotic, flippant fun Citizen Toxie may be, Kaufman's bouncing between parallel universes does become a bit distracting, leading one--at times--to suspect that the narrative might not be entirely consistent. Yet, we are forced to quickly abandon such trite quibbles with the storyline and admit that if we were to continue to ponder such truly arbitrary aesthetic concerns, we might well be the focus of the director's satirical distain during his next feature. In conclusion, Lloyd Kaufman brings us another masterpiece as only he could concoct. In short, everything that one comes to expect from a Troma production is present in Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV, only four-fold. However, before I wrap, I have to say I was greatly, greatly impressed, surprised, and daunted by Paul Kyrmse's performance and was saddened to discover that he has done little outside of his role as Kabukiman.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Crews removing the wreckage of Asiana Flight 214 at San Francisco International Airport have encountered smoke.
Smoke billowing from the wreckage overnight Friday was captured by KGO-TV cameras. The news station says it occurred moments after crews used a sling to lift the fuselage.
The station says some debris fell out. It appears that the wreckage has since been removed.
Calls to airport and fire officials to determine the cause of the smoke were not immediately returned.
National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Keith Holloway says the agency was not overseeing removing of the wreckage, and he did not know anything about the smoke.

Catch and throw. The essential elements of the game of baseball. Same as it ever was for 130 years. Some catches are hard and some are easy, but the act of catching the baseball has been very similar forever. Glove technology changed the dynamic but catching a baseball is really the same now as it was in Ty Cobb's day.
Until 2014, that is. For a strange rule change, or at least a league-wide change in the reading of the rule as written, has essentially re-defined what a caught ball looks like.
In my mind, likely informed by years of playing and umpiring and watching baseball, the catch and the transfer were two distinctly different things. Catch the ball then shift it to your other hand to make a throw. A beginning, a middle, and an end. Simple enough.
But no longer! Now the middle is part of the beginning, which is really just one long continuous act, it seems. If a fielder drops the transfer, it's no catch. Which…no.
Here Elliot Johnson of Cleveland crashes into the right field wall to make a great catch in the first inning of yesterday's game versus the Padres. As he passes the ball to his throwing hand, he drops it. Meaning the runner is safe as this is no longer considered a catch. Meaning I am irritated.
And just a few days before, Josh Hamilton fielding a much more routine ball, Josh Hamiltons the living sh*t out of this play, lazily dropping the ball as he moves from glove to hand. Ruling on the field? Safe. After review? Safe. This is no longer a catch, despite my protestations at the time.
Just after the Johnson play, Katie Witham of Fox Sports Ohio relayed quotes from an unnamed player, claiming umpires told him all spring that if the transfer is dropped, it's no catch. So there is no real excuse for most of the bewilderment (as Dave Brown of Yahoo! outlines here.)
The official rulebook reads the same as it ever did, only adding to the mystery (rule 2.00, page 13):
In establishing the validity of the catch, the fielder shall hold the ball long enough to prove that he has complete control of the ball and that his release of the ball is voluntary and intentional. If the fielder has made the catch and drops the ball while in the act of making a throw following the catch,
the ball shall be adjudged to have been caught.
Well that isn't ambiguous at all now is it? So there is one question left to ask: why? What is the real catalyst for this re-imagining of our basic understanding of what makes a catch and what constitutes a drop?
While we await word from the league office, remember to adjust your sensibilities to the 2014 mode. There is no longer a beginning, middle, and end to a catch. There is only change for its own sake. Baseball is a flat circle. To catch is to transfer and to transfer is to live forever. Welcome to the future, it's the worst.
The official word I just received from a Major League Baseball spokesperson/flack – the league itself instructed teams that "umpires and/or replay officials will consider whether the fielder had secured possession of the ball but dropped it during the act of the catch." When asked whether it was the umpires or the league that initiated this new reading of the rule, the answer came as follows:
In the process of expanding instant replay, we were asked to provide guidance on how some rules would be applied. After fielding questions, Major League Baseball clarified some examples of how a catch during a transfer is called. We have issued this guidance to Umpires and Clubs alike."
So there you have it. The new replay system required a clear line drawn in the sand and the league drew it. See you in hell, tradition!

There's no hiding from our consciousness as a parent
Babies come into the world, each with their own unique soul, ready to learn.They learn from the culture, family, and the parents that they live with.
This learning starts in utero, as they hear the language that is spoken. Once he is born, a baby born in a remote South American rainforest home, with no exposure to modern culture, where family and culture is all; will learn very different things from a child born in a big city in Japan, in a high-rise block, with no siblings and a father who is out at work for long hours each day. Each baby learns, from our every response and action, how to speak the language of those around them, as well as the beliefs, values, attitudes, and ways of thinking....
This happens even within a culture. Take Western culture. Babies learn from whichever parenting paradigm resonates with their parents. A baby brought up from day one to sleep alone in a cot learns very different things from a baby who sleeps in his parents' bed. A baby who is left alone to cry, or who is fed when he cries, or who is listened to when he cries, also learns very different things about his feelings.
Each of us cannot help but passing on our own beliefs, ways of thinking, and attitudes to our babies and children.
Babies are designed this way. Human beings are unique in their amazing adaptivity - to fit into whatever life they are born into. Whatever a baby experiences, becomes the way things are for him.
So, the way we are with closeness and intimacy will be what we pass on to our children.
The way we are with sadness, frustration, fear, and joy will be what we give to our children.
They way we are with presence, self-love, judgment, and acceptance will be what our children learn.
When we see a parent in the street on their mobile phone whilst their baby is crying in the stroller, we know at once how that adult relates to their own feelings. However a parent acts with their child is a flag which indicates their own inner relationship.
We cannot help but relate to our children in the same way that we relate to ourselves.
We may try to relate differently to our children than the way we relate to ourselves, but there is no escape. For example we may want our child to love themselves, but be full of self-judgment ourselves. However we try to be with them, they will get the judgment part.
Being a parent is the greatest wake-up call of all. There is simply no way of escaping ourselves and our consciousness when we relate to our children.
Ponder, for a moment, on an adult completely comfortable with every nuance of their being; with every feeling, and every nuance of feeling. Picture this adult free from any judgment; free from every self-negating belief. See an adult being fully present in every moment with all that is. Imagine that adult with a new baby. What do you see? That adult would be the same with their child.... freely being fully present with every feeling, every state, responding accurately and fully to every need. The baby would flow in and out of different states, and the adult would be fully present with each of them. There would be no fear or contraction if the baby felt tired, sad, scared, blissful, curious, or agitated. Thus the baby would not contract with any of those states in himself. He would remain fully connected with every aspect of his being.
As far as I'm aware, there aren't any adults like that. Unless enlightened folk are like that; I haven't met any so I don't really know!
The truth is that each of us has patches where we retract and retreat from full presence. Perhaps we are very comfortable with being happy, but not with being blissful. Perhaps we have beliefs that mean self-love is dangerous. Perhaps we tell ourselves that being present is scary. All of those things will show up when we are with our children.
Being a parent is thus the ultimate gift in our psychospiritual journey. Being with our children will shine the light on every place on us which is hiding.
We have choices about how we respond to this invitation. We can resist it, blaming our reactions on our children's behaviour; trying to make them wrong, fix them, or get them to fit into our limiting beliefs.
Alternatively, we can keep saying yes to the invitation, to unfold long-gotten beliefs, to open our heart to dark and scared places in ourselves, to invite openness where there is contraction, to give love where there is tension.
Ultimately, doing this means we can give more to our children. Our presence contracts less, and in fewer places, and thus their consciousness is relatively freer for their true essence to shine through. What a gift; what an invitation!

Junior Golf AcademyOne expands sites, opens in Pinehurst region
LPGA member Kelly Cap, Titleist golf professional Mark Miller to serve as site directors
Registration now open for first sessions
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 18, 2011 – Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) member Kelly Cap and Mark Miller, Titleist staff golf professional at Pinehurst Resort, have teamed up with fellow LPGA member Suzanne Strudwick as site directors for the Junior Golf AcademyOne's second location. Beginning Feb. 9, 2011, Junior Golf AcademyOne -- under the local management of Golf Fore Kids in the Sandhills -- will operate at Beacon Ridge Golf & Country Club in West End, N.C., just on the outskirts of historic Pinehurst, N.C.
"We are thrilled to open our second Junior Golf AcademyOne," said Strudwick, Academy co-founder. "Our program helps junior golfers develop sports-specific skills, learn golf-specific skills and, most importantly, create a love for the game.

"Kelly (Cap) and Mark (Miller) are experienced golf instructors and players who share their love of the game and passion to help juniors improve their skills through our Academy program," said Strudwick.
Cap and Miller have been long-time residents of the Pinehurst area and have worked extensively with golfers of all levels. They combine their expert golf skills with expansive participation in regular fitness regimens.
"Having the opportunity to open a Junior Golf AcademyOne brings together both of my lifelong passions -- golf and fitness," said Cap. "I used fitness to develop my golf career and look forward to sharing this knowledge with the junior golfers in the greater Pinehurst area."

I like using this before blowdrying to protect my hair. It adds shine and cuts the drying time in half. Makes my hair straighter just from blasting the hair (no actual blowdry). Sometimes looks quite good after this routine, sometimes looks just ok. But always decent enough to leave the house. My hair is long, fine but I have lots of it. Not a miracle worker by any means but a very good leave in product/heat protector that smells nice and seems to work. I bought the travel size for 4.99 and I am happy with it. Only need a tinny little bit each time so will last a long time. Will probably repurchase.
Edit 10/12/14- Still loving it. My hair is well overdue for a colour and yet every time I use this my hair looks shiny, silky and my colour looks so much better than it is. Brilliant stuff. This and the Chroma captive shampoo and conditioner are my favourite hair products ever. As expected, this product works best when used with the aforementioned shampoo and conditioner.

I wanted to like this product, my stylist used ciment thermique on me to blow out my hair (I have naturally curly hair, but it's fine), and I find the scent very pleasant - more pleasant than the ciment thermique. But in reality, while I think this is a better product than ciment thermique, it made my hair a little spidery (like a previous reviewer said - I relate to that description. No, I did not overuse it) and I could never get it to work quite as well as the Aveda product I was using before I bought this. Luckily, I bought the small size so I did not have it forever, and am returning to the Aveda smooth infusion. I'm not an adherent to one brand over the other. I've used cheap and expensive products alike, if a product works, I will pay for it. However, with the Aveda being half the price and a bit more effective, I just can't justify using this. I personally think a lot of Kerastase products are overpriced (I know a very reputable salon in my area who stopped carrying the line because they believe the same), but I admittedly use one or two Kerastase products because I love the scent or I am pleased enough with the results that I don't want to bother messing with a good thing by trying to find a cheaper alternative. Both this product and ciment thermique do not fit this bill for me. If you are wondering how this compares to nectar thermique, well you can't really compare. Nectar thermique is heavier and I would not recommend it for blow drying like chroma thermique. I was told to use nectar thermique when I go au natural curly and that's what I do.

I am on my second bottle of this.. I just love it!!! I stopped using it for a few months while I used another product that I thought was good.. And let me just say that I went back to it and realized it is much better, and that when applied to damp hair, and blowdried with a round brush... Hair looks amazing and much healthier than when straightened! I think that this product is better for blowdrying than straightening, as I got much better results. The smell is strong at first but goes down and you don't realize it throughout the day. Oh, also, my hair is VERY fine and I have barely any of it.. And it is about 4 inches past my shoulders.. And I use about a dime-quarter size amount. It feels like way too much when I put it in, since my hair is so thin/fine, but my hair is not weighed down or greasy looking at all!! Just looks perfect!

Before i was using CHI's silk infusion to get my hair straight. Now I use this. The CHI weighs my hair down in a good way . It gives it body and softness but this stuff makes my hair soooo light it's like I have spider's silk for hair. In terms of light-weightness. I'm not sure I like that effect but i use some styling serums to finish and add a bit of healthy weight to my hair so it doesn't go all over the place. It does make my hair silky and lovely though! Small bottle for the price! Not sure if I'll repurchase but I'm gonna finish this up for sure. So far I am unhappy with my first kerastase purchase.
Edit: didn't like this. Don't know what to do with it now. I went back to my CHI
Update : this makes my hair so soft after a blow dry but it doesn't out -perform Moroccan oil for me in reducing frizz and fly aways. And something in this makes my scalp a bit itchy . A rare reaction for me

This is an excellent product. I have coloured hair and I have been using ciment thermique for years. I wanted to try something different and this does the job: a little goes a long way. it does not weight my hair down and leaves my hair soft + volume. The scent is not overpowering. Would repurchase.

I like this more than Nectar Thermique. Chroma Thermique seems to work better on my fine, color-treated hair. When I use Nectar Thermique, I don't really notice a difference in how my hair looks and feels after blow drying. But I can see a difference with Chroma Thermique. It leaves my hair shiny and soft, but not greasy or weighed down. I have the travel size bottle, and since I only use a tiny amount for my shoulder-length hair, I think it has been a good investment. I took a lippie off because the smell is unbelievably cloying and obnoxious.

I have fine highlighted hair that I wash & style every day. This product is a must for me. It's great value for money, I bought a bottle in August, use it every day and it just ran out last week.
It makes my hair easy to blowdry, leaves it really soft and shiny, eliminates frizz and doesn't weigh down my fine hair like other products can. I love it and will be buying it again!

I hate to knock this product of its 5-star throne here, but it's the most ineffective eye cream I've ever used.
I don't ask much of my eye cream and I'm not looking for miracles. I don't have puffiness or dark circles, and I don't expect an eye cream to eradicate fine lines. But I do have dry skin on and around my eyes so I need an eye cream that actually hydrates.
This stuff is bizarre. I put it on my eyes and it absorbs immediately, then... nothing. It's as if I'd put nothing on. When I first started using it, I kept applying it multiple times because I'd be about to put my makeup on, then realize my eyes felt really dry and would think I hadn't put any eye cream on yet. So I'd put some more on and nothing would change. I finally realized it wasn't me - it was the product. It completely disappears - and not in a good way. In an utterly useless, waste of money way.
Got this as a deluxe sample and now I want the full size! Price is high, but because it is really nice. I can actually see a difference after a week of use! Prior to this I used an entire full size of Clinique's All About Eyes Rich and while it was nice, did not show the results that this little sample showed. I am impressed!

I like this product and may be an HG but I'm always on the look out. ;o)
The product claims:
"Those participating in a consumer panel test reported that after a period of 28 days of continued daily use, a 47% decrease in wrinkle depth, a 24% reduction in puffiness and 19% increase in firmness was observed. This marine-infused eye cream delivers intensive ongoing hydration to help replenish dry, dehydrated skin while providing antioxidant protection to help reduce the effects of free-radical induced damage."
With the following ingredients:
Marine Micropatch Technology, Sea Mineral Complex, Monks Pepper Berry, Arnica Extract, Sepilift, Himanthalia, Spirulina, Nori, Sodium Hyaluronate, Japanese Green Tea Extract, Paraguay Tea Extract, Shea Butter, Provitamin B, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E
Ive been using this product for over two weeks, twice daily. During work day, I am up by 5am and will almost be in bed by 11pm. So, most of the time, I only get 5 hours of sleep. As a result, I will have puffy eyes and some days with dark circles. This has helped both and very happy. I was more concern with the puffy eyes because while I pile on the treatment, these days, my MU regiment is eye liner, foundation, blush (sometimes), setting powder and lip moisturizer followed later by lipstick. Thank goodness that I dont have much wrinkles and I really dont mind them
its the puffy eyes. The Sea Results does the trick. The cost was $40, I think but the tub holds plenty and will last me a more than a few months since I use it sparingly. I also havent noticed dark circles
only from my eyeliner. :-( I use my pinky to gently pat under the eyes and the sides of the eyes just in case those tiny lines start to grow bigger. :o) Its not greasy and the consistency is not heavy
in my opinion, anyway. I cant remember H2O return policy but if you cant get your hands on samples, I would recommend purchasing and returning it before the return date expires, which is usually a month. After a month, you should be able to determine if this product works for you or not. I hope it works for you, too.

posted by: femdommesAs far as male humiliation goes, this is a primo scene that you will never forget. Two seemingly nice femdom bitches soon prove that while they are insanely sexy, they are also insanely tough. The girls use their canes to torture this boxer into a femdom slut. They make his ass glow red from all the caning and then they take turns by sitting on his face and making him eat out their tasty meat. He also turns into a nice live shoe polisher as they make him lick their sexy high heel shoes clean.

Indiana University freshman dies after fall
An Indiana University freshman found unconcious yesterday has died. The Zionsville woman was found semi-conscious at the bottom of a house's basement stairs early yesterday morning, but emergency responders were not called until several hours later. Campus police interviewed residents of the house, the student's roommate, and others at the house. Alcohol was at the house, but it is not known if the woman was drinking. This fatality is bringing attention to Indiana Lifeline Laws, which protect underage people from alcohol-related charges if they call authorities for someone in need of help.

Celgene Corporation ( CELG ) recently announced that Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will hold a meeting on November 8, 2012 to review the company's new drug application (NDA) for its oncology candidate, pomalidomide. Celgene is seeking approval of the candidate in combination with low-dose dexamethasone for the treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM) patients, who have received at least two prior therapies. We remind investors that the FDA had granted standard review (10 month review period) to the NDA for pomalidomide for the MM indication. The NDA includes data from a phase II study (MM-002) on the candidate. Celgene is also conducting an international phase III study (MM-003), evaluating pomalidomide in relapsed and refractory MM patients. Data from the study is expected by year end. A final decision from the FDA is expected by February 10, 2013 (action date). The decision on pomalidomide is an eagerly-awaited event. Celgene is also seeking European approval for pomalidomide for the same indication. The MM market has been in the spotlight this year. In July 2012, the FDA cleared Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 's ( ONXX ) Kyprolis. Kyprolis was approved for use in treatment-experienced MM patients (who have received at least two prior therapies, including Takeda ( TKPHF ) / Johnson & Johnson 's ( JNJ ) Velcade and an immunomodulatory agent). Moreover, the disease had progressed on or within 60 days of completion of the last therapy in those patients. We note another key action date is coming up at Celgene next month (October 12) when the FDA is expected to decide on the company's efforts to expand the label of its oncology drug, Abraxane, into the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) indication. Celgene is looking to get Abraxane approved as a first-line therapy in advanced NSCLC patients. Abraxane is already available as a second-line therapy for metastatic breast cancer. Our Recommendation We currently have a Neutral recommendation on Celgene. The stock carries a Zacks #3 Rank (Hold rating) in the short run.

I inherited a weeping cherry tree with the house I bought just one year ago. Last year at this time the whole thing was filled with flowers but this year there are only a couple flowers at the bottom of the branches. I pruned it a little bit, could that have been the problem? And if so, will it recover? I'm so sad for it. Here are pics:
As of today:
Same time, last year looking much better:
Follow-Up Postings:
Maybe there was a cold period that killed the buds above the snow line, the lower portions remaining beneath the snow and surviving. |
- Posted by pam_chesbay 8a VA (My Page) on Fri, Apr 10, 09 at 23:18
In live in SE VA. The East Coast had a long hard winter and is having an unusually long cold spring. The Yoshino cherries are blooming now, but other cherries are not. This may be caused by temperature changes - several episodes of warm temps for a few days, followed by hard frosts and high winds. Everything is late. Leaves on native evergreen trees and shrubs are burned. |
Stop pruning it and in several years you will have a show piece. I use fruit tree fertilizer spikes on ours and they are starting to look like an open umbrella. I only prune the branches that reach the ground and only enough to allow the room for the mower. The only thing you have to watch for is that a Weeping Cherry tends to grow surface roots and can be quite large (as large as the trunk itself). I tend to put topsoil over the roots to allow some grass to grow back where the roots have squeezed the grass out. I agree about the winter/spring in the east, but you probably still have buds that have not opened yet. They will! These trees are hearty. |
Tree spikes are a poor investment. Already purchased ones should be crumbled and scattered over the soil instead of inserted into the ground in columns, where only a percentage of the roots will have access to the fertilizer. Regular substantial fertilization should be accompanied by sampling and testing of the soil. It is possible to poison the soil with too much of a fertilizer ingredient (phosphorus is a common example) as well as waste money on fertilizer that is not needed. Excess fertilizer from home gardens also makes a big contribution to fouling of the water supply. The big roots coming from beneath weeping Japanese cherry trees are those of the sweet cherry trees they are grafted onto. With some care it is possible to avoid purchasing this prevalent but undesirable combination. I think some of the commonly sold Snow Fountains ('Snofozam') TM weeping cherry tree are being raised from cuttings; there has also been some grafting of Japanese cherry trees offered to the public on the Gisela dwarfing rootstock associated with orchard fruit tree cultivation. |
Thanks so much all. At first I also thought it was probably just from the cold weather we've been having, but then I saw a neighbor just a block or two away has the same type of tree and theirs was in full flower just like mine was last year. Maybe they just have a different microclimate that protected the tree somehow? In any case, I'm relieved to know at least it will recover. |
Can't argue about the tree spikes, but I use them and this is what I have grown in 6 or 7 years. Only other fertilzer it might get is from the 4 season Scott lawn program I use? The development this house/office is in was originally a strip mine (about 1910) - then an auto junk yard (1915-1955) - then a trailor park (1955 - 1995) - and finally all these homes went up. The ground is full of car parts, engines, transmissions and chrome pieces. Long funny story how my weight lifting neighbor came out laughing at me when I was using a pry-bar and balltene hammer to get into the ground far enough to plant this thing. He was going to show off and ended up helping me as the pickax and any other tool I had did not penetrate the ground. Dug an 8' circle ring around it and filled it with water 2 or 3 times a day (as I could remember to do it) and this is in front of a house that I use as a office, so I am here all the time. My hope was that it would eventually be a shade tree, but I did not have this property long enough to know what the sun pattern was in the summer - or not smart enough to take note before planting it. No shade, but I do LOVE a weeping cherry! |
Here is a link that might be useful: My weeping cherry
Oh, and I am in North Central West Virginia - about 8 miles south of the Mason-Dixon line. |
Perhaps it blooms from the tips to the base of each branch? It sort of looks like that happened last year as well in your pictures. |

I also live in southern Va and my weeping cherry did not have many blooms either. Actually none of my flowering trees did. I just chalked it up to the very cold winter that just didn't want to end. |

Stop pruning it. No tree spikes are needed. Leave it alone for several years. IIRC they bloom on old wood, and you are cutting it out for some reason. Dan |
It was said "Stop pruning it. ... they bloom on old wood" Well, sort of "old" wood. They bloom on last year's wood. So, the key to a full crown of bloom each year -- ignoring possible nasty weather events -- is to prune every year right after the bloom is gone. If you wait until later in the year, you will remove the buds that set beginnng in July/August. The new wood that grows this year will support next year's flowers. Don't give it a "bowl cut" which removes only the ends of the branches. But go all the way into the crown. It's likely you can find instructions & images with an online search. |
Not to contradict anyone, but the only thing I do, beside pruning as it reaches the grass line level to keep ground criter from more easily climbing on board, is to 'untwine' any branches I see (and can reach) that the wind has moved from a natural growth position. If you are seeking to control how 'dense' the branches are, then certainly prune back to the trunk level AND seal any SIGNIFICANT cuts with a sealer - but minor cuts heal themselves better than anything man made. My rule is that if the cut is over 3", I seal. |

My rule is that if the cut is over 3", I seal. This is contrary to the literature. I spoke at a tree conf in Dallas recently and some guy presented before me whose topic was sealing wounds and he was listened to politely and sent on his way. It's sometimes nice to follow someone who doesn't knock 'em dead. Dan |
Tree seal is *not* needed. Skip it. |

Read Rusty Blackwell's comments on driving the;Mazda RX-8 40th Anniversary Edition.
I've heard people bagging on the RX-8 recently, but I still really enjoy driving this car: it's just so goshdamn balanced. Plus, it looks quite cool (even though the front end looks more like a cartoon face than just about anything this side of the movie Cars), and the rear seat is more useful than those of most other 2+2s.
This 40th anniversary (of the rotary) edition is a bit lame (fender badges and floor mats are all I noticed that were different), but I guess it's better than if Mazda had gone way overboard with tacky touches on this special edition. And, of course, it's commendable that Mazda has stuck with this oddball engine for that long.
Still, I wouldn't buy an RX-8 because of its consumption issues (fuel and oil) and the cold-start problems that we had with our long-termer (if our car ran for only a short time in subzero weather, it often wouldn't restart because the cold, unexpanded rotor seals would allow fuel to intrude into places where fuel shouldn't go - flooding the engine). But this car unquestionably deserves a great deal of respect as the bold and balanced driver's car that it is.

AU students aided Hurricane Sandy victims during school break
The popular image of college student activities during a holiday consists of hanging out at the mall, connecting with their friends on social media, and going to the movies.
Not so with 23 Anderson University students over the recent Christmas break. They were ankle deep in mud and covered in grime, providing much-needed disaster relief for the victims of Hurricane Sandy on Staten Island, New York.
Along with 170 other students from seven universities across the nation, they pitched in to complete 38 projects – mostly cleaning up flood-damaged private homes – totaling in excess of 2,700 volunteer hours.
The mission trip, which began December 12 and ended December 18, was sponsored by Southern Baptist Disaster Relief. Associate Campus Minister Becky Walker, who led the group, said this type of trip dovetails nicely with Anderson University's goal to expose students to various kinds of mission activities. "Students did things they never expected to do," she said. "As a result, they grew on both a personal and spiritual level."
The students tackled jobs ranging from delivering meals from the American Red Cross to performing "mud outs," completely gutting ruined homes down to the studs and foundations and then sanitizing them.
"It was hard, physical labor," said Jordan Niemeyer, a junior majoring in kinesiology. "We tore out walls and floors and then hauled away the debris. The toughest job was getting rid of all the mud that accumulated in the houses due to the storm surge."
The response from the homeowners was overwhelmingly positive, she said. "They were deeply moved by what we did on their behalf, but it also benefitted me, as well. It broadened my perspective of how lives can be impacted by a disaster, made me more appreciative of what I have, and allowed me to share the Gospel with people who are hurting."
Alex Richards, a junior majoring in history, had a similar experience. "Helping fellow Americans restore their homes was important," he said, "but the ultimate factor was sharing the Gospel with brothers and sisters in Christ."
Evidently the trip made a lasting impression on Alex and about a dozen other Anderson University students who participated. In January they became certified "mud out" specialists during disaster relief training sponsored by the Greenville Baptist Association. "We're prepared to go anywhere we're needed the next time a disaster strikes," he said.
According to Walker, the mission trip to Staten Island confirmed her belief in the current generation of college students, particularly those at Anderson University. "They're really stepping up and making a difference in the world. They're passionate about helping others and passionate about Christ. It's a beautiful thing to see."
During the Christmas break, Anderson University students also participated in mission trips to Seattle, Washington, and to Guatemala. For the third consecutive year, students traveled to Seattle on a "church planting" mission. Associate Campus Minister David Neace led a group of nine students on the mission that also included a homeless ministry. "We'll return next December to continue our work there," he said.
Anderson University's longest-running mission in the school's recent history centers on annual trips to Guatemala. "Six years ago we partnered with Engadi Ministries International to help rescue boys from drugs and violence," said Greg Allgood, Director of Campus Ministries and the mission leader. "This year our group of 14 students helped to build a boy's ranch that includes housing and an educational center, the purpose of which are to show these young men that there is a way out of poverty and that gangs are not the answers."
More than 100 Anderson University students have participated in this mission in the six years of the partnership with Engadi. "They've helped troubled boys become Godly men," Allgood said, "and they've fulfilled the schools' goal – to provide opportunities throughout the world to present the Gospel and to advance the Kingdom of God."

Hi I am new to the garden web and love to check in. Does anyone have any experience with starting double impatien seeds. I started accent impatiens and double seeds at the same time and place. The accents did very well but the doubles were only about 20 per cent. Is there a difference in the way I should have started the double impatien seeds? Thanks Bon |

We had similar experiences as you did. Appearantly they are extremely sensitive. You need to keep fantastic hygine around these seeds or they will damp off immediately. Two years in a row we had entire flats die within a day. It is recommended to use a sterile growing media without any starter nutrient and ensure as much aeration in the media as you can. Cover the seeds with a very light layer of fine vermiculite to keep humidity high around the seeds. Grow them between 72 and 77 deg F and keep an eye on them for germination. When the radicle penetrates the growing media, vent immediately as too wet conditions will result in instant damping off. |
I haven't found the seeds around where I am for the doubles. Last year I brought my doubles indoors for the winter and babied them through, then took cuttings again a few weeks ago as they were a bit leggy. They seem to be doing fine, though I don't get much sun indoors. Does anyone know if seeds from the doubles flowers revert back to single or grow true to the mother plant? My doubles looked beautiful last year! Like two foot tall, full little rose bushes and bloomed all season. I'd love to try seeds for next year too. Joy |
I know Harris Seeds carries them They have a catalog and good website with good growing instructions as they also sell to professional growers. Looks tricky on keeping seeds at right temp for germination. I've never tried them from seed, but I love them too. Especially one flat I bought a couple years ago called Blackberry Ice. Wayside sells the plants for $35 a dozen!! Way too much for me. |

I'm growing double impatiens from cuttings, from a plant grown from a cutting last fall. Yes, the blooms are just like the original stock plant. |
I did have some survive and they are doing fine, I did get the seed from Harris. They have not bloomed yet. The accents are now just starting to bloom. I will take cuttings later. |

Do doule impatients seed like regular impatients seed? |
I have a basket of double impatients, but can't find the seeds anywhere. Maybe I should take some cuttings from this one for next year. |
My double impatiens that I started from seed are doing very well now. I think your idea about taking cuttings from the plants you now have is a good one. I have taken cuttings inside for the winter before. They need extra light and watch for spider mites.. |
I have never considered growing the doubles from seed, not having a greenhouse. I had a double white one I bought and got through the winter hung under a skylight. I would take cuttings if I wanted more than this one. Cuttings of single types have always rooted just in a jar of water. I even stuck the stems of cuttings in my tropical fish aquarium in very bright sun and they grew. The only one I have, the white one, looks, as described, like a rose bush, half covered with flowers. |
My plants are sick and I don't know what is causing it. They are not opening, have many buds, and today the leaves are showing brown spots with white in the middle. Can anyone give me a clue what it is? There are no bugs involved actively on the leaves, and my single impatiens are also involved. My marigolds and nicotia planted along side of them show no symtoms. Help! Thank you! |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Federal officials are teaming up with Indianapolis police and prosecutors to combat gun violence that has surged in five high-crime areas of the city.
U.S. Attorney Joseph Hogsett tells The Indianapolis Star that it would be "immoral" for federal officials to stand by and not do anything to help reduce violent crime.
Indianapolis Public Safety Director Troy Riggs has targeted five areas near downtown as part of an initiative that aims to identify the causes of violent crime and the most dangerous people in those areas.
Hogsett says a mix of drugs, guns and gangs has created a deadly atmosphere in the "hot zones." About half of all city homicides in the last six years have occurred in or near those areas.

Ladder Pain Rating Scale
Adapted with permission from Nancy Hester, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center School of Nursing
Your child's pain is monitored regularly by watching for changes in behavior, specifically shifts in eating, sleeping and playing habits. Our staff also uses a pain scale so that your child can rate the level and intensity of the pain.
The pain scales are geared to the age of each child, their level of understanding and their ability to express pain.
The two most common scales for children are the faces scale and the ladder scale. These scales use pictures and terms children can easily understand to rate pain.
A special scale is used to rate an infant's pain or a child who is unable to communicate pain. This scale looks at behaviors such as crying, facial expressions and body movements.
