I have quite thin hair and this stuff works perfectly for this type of hair - even better that the one for thin fragile hair also from Korres. It really helps to protect the color longer. As for the smell...well it's the only downside for me I can't get it that anyone could love it :-) It like men's cologne type of scent, not my favourite. But I can bear it considering on how good this shampoo acctually is. It makes the hair shinner and incredibly soft - little tip here - the longer you let it in the hair - the softer the hair will be. And as I read on Korres website Naomi Cambell swears on this stuff...
I have sensitive dry scalp and this has been an amazing product for me. I love the scent too :) I have bought back-ups already because I love it so much. Korres sometimes has generous offers for this product yippeeee. I really wish Korres would make a corresponding Sunflower conditioner!

THIS SMELLS FANTASTIC. Buy it for that fact alone. It lasts
all day- very fresh and clean and not too girly. Plus, it doesn't dry out my hair- my extremely critical hairdresser will definitely approve next time I pay her a visit.
This one is a very good shampoo for my long coloured hair and wins hands down many salon brands. I don't use it regularly (I love change and there are so many other good shampoos out there...), but I buy it from time to time and always find it worth its price. Sometimes I don't even need any conditioner or I just put some in the ends, but it still doesn't weigh my hair down because it doesn't contain any silicones.
I bought this without checking the label and didn't realize it has sls in it. Now I have shiny clean hair and a flaky scalp. The smell is also a little masculine to me, though not unpleasant.
I love this shampoo. I bought it in Greece this past summer, where it is much cheaper than the $23 it retails for on Sephora. I will buy again, but only when I return to Greece. Next time I will stock up.
At first, I was not impressed. It doesn't lather as much as I like and my hair felt coated the first time. I used it more, and now I love the way it makes my hair feel. Soft and full, and fewer fly aways. The best part is that it has none of the harsh detergents (SLS) found in practically all US shampoos. I sometimes use this in conjuntion with the Korres Silk Milk conditioner, but I don't need a conditioner with it.
EDITING: I looked more closely at the packaging and it does have a mild SLS in it. However I am on my second bottle and I still love it. I don't use it every day though. It's a very unique shampoo that leaves my hair feeling different than any other product I have used. I have used another Korres shampoo for regular use and it did not leave my hair feeling the same and this formula did. They now carry this line at some B&BW.
At first I really liked this, it has an ok smell, and it defintely helped maintain the colour I use in my hair. However I found it to be quite drying, and my hair seemed a bit lifeless after using this shampoo for a few weeks. Will not repurchase.

I use this in conjunction with the Silk Milk conditioner, and the combination always seems to bring out the wavy texture of my hair, while making it feel thicker (it's already quite thick). Tough to explain, but it's as though my hair doubles in fullness overnight.
The shampoo itself lathers well, and smells quite fresh and lovely, very unisex. It's designed for color treated hair, but adds just enough moisture to my untreated, normal to dry hair. If I really want softness (along with a more relaxed texture) I reach for something else. But when I want full, thick hair that's smoother and has more pronounced waves, I use this. A nice, unexpected perk!
I'd consider repurchasing this, especially if the line were easier for me to find. I'm curious about the effect it would have on finer or thinner hair now! It might be a bit heavy for truly fine hair, but if you need the moisture it can't hurt!

The look on her face when she first tried it out was worth the price of it alone, and for just over 45 notes, this is a steal for anyone with a little one, highly recommended and very entertaining. Hot OP!
- just saw the description and just to confirm, it does come with batteries pre installed and these are still running ok now 1 month in.
- good price but will mothercare price match eCrater.co.uk??
Edited By: adams2318 on Jan 26, 2012 22:01 - proper bargain.
- Mothercare do a price match promise - see their website for futher info.
They will price match any online retailer or store or catalogue if product in stock. I tried to get them to price match their sister company ELC who had it listed at £47.49, but they wouldn't as it was out of stock, but the very helpful woman on the end of the phone suggested that I googled it as did she & we came up with eCrater as a cheaper alternative & she was only too happy to price match them for me!adams2318why will mothercare price match eCrater.co.uk?? - That's a great deal! My lo loves hers and you could easily get your money back when you come to sell it on as well. I love getting one over on Mothercare, so overpriced! Also because the product is over £20 you should get a £10 gift card, I've had two so far ;-)
- hot! will be calling at 8am (_;)
- well worth the money,my boy loved his
which remind me. I need to dig it out and get rid of it!
I'll wait till the new price goes up ;) - Very bad for development....hips and feet. I work for children's physio and we strongly disapprove of them. Sorry, but cold from me.
- Where exactly is it listed on ecrater? Cannot find any such product...
Direct link anyone - They told me that they are not doing the vouchers anymore :-( Although I think it sometimes depends on who you speak to!
tinks404That's a great deal! My lo loves hers and you could easily get your money back when you come to sell it on as well. I love getting one over on Mothercare, so overpriced! Also because the product is over £20 you should get a £10 gift card, I've had two so far ;-) - Hot Deals don't seem to like me putting the eCrater link, but just go to their website & enter "Jumperoo" in the search box & it will come up with both the Rainforest version & the Love U Zoo one.
- You will struggle to get then to price match ecrater, its not a recognised online retailer, and I for one cannot find either of these products on there..
- Best item EVER for your baby....
My boy loves it and can sit in it for an hour non stop just playing around on it. Well worth the price, every parent should buy one.
Heat added - I have a now 3 year old who started using one of these at 5 months, was walking by 7 months & running by 10 months. Hips & feet are fine, no problems whatsoever! However, I never used to let her stay in it for more than about 30 minutes at a time & no more than two or three times a day. I thought it was absolutely wonderful & she loved it! I paid this much for ours second hand on eBay...& sold it on for the same price afterwards! Great price for it.
Thanks, this is a marketplace and not an online retailer or store or catalogue as per mothercare T&Cs, be very surprised if they offer a price match, also states seller is from the US.- You may have just got lucky, can't believe you managed to get them to match eCrater - never heard of them before. Mothercare were funny matching Amazon when I was after my pushchair.
I paid £63 for my Jumperoo before Xmas cos I thought that I wouldn't find a better deal than that :( - Well, as I say, the woman at Mothercare offered to price match it for me. In my experience if you do not get any joy on their price match phone line, try again. Some staff are really helpful, knowledgeable & experienced, others are not. They actively encourage you to pricematch them. It even has the pricematch link on the product description for the Jumperoo on the Mothercare website.
Jumperoos are definately on eCrater - someone has now added a link above too - thanks.
Good luck hot dealers!
Thanks, this is a marketplace and not an online retailer or store or catalogue as per mothercare T&Cs, be very surprised if they offer a price match, also states seller is from the US. - Excellent price !!! I have one of these and my son loves it. He is 11 Months and has been using it since 6 Months approx. highly recommend this as it goes in all directions and spins around makes noise. Keeps him entertained for some time :-)

I have not been to this site for many years. I kind of forgot about it until now. I have been racking my brain trying to come up with a creative way to present a gift and then I remembered there used to be some really creative people here.
We bought our son a used car for Christmas and really wanted to give it in a special way, especially since it is a once in a lifetime gift! I thought it would be fun to make a story book of The Night Before Christmas, or another Christmas story (or even a book about space since the car is a Saturn) and have snapfish or another site print it and give him the book for Christmas. But I am terrible with rhyming and poems. I have also thought about a scavenger hunt, but thought the book would be a keepsake. If anybody has any ideas or can help in any way, I would appreciate it so much. I am open to any and all ideas. I just really wanted this to be special. These are times I really miss my mom, she was so good at this stuff...too bad I didn't inherit that talent :( Thanks in Advance to anybody that can help :) Robyn |

Twas the night before Christmas And all through the planets Not a spaceship was stirring Not even on Saturn. Ok, tell us the color, or year or something we can use in the poem. Where will it be parked? |
The book is a nice idea, but an easier way to create a treasured keepsake might be to have someone take a picture of you and your DH with the car. You could be gesturing toward it the way they do on commercials (or The Price is Right), or you could be holding up a giant Merry Christmas, _________!! (Fill in your son's name.) Or something like that. Make sure the camera is close enough so you don't have a lot of background around you and the the car. Make an enlargement (8x10 is nice), and frame it with a nice mat. Then put it in a box, wrap it up, and put it under the tree. :-) |
We actually bought 2 cars since I have 2 sons. I would probably do the same for both... One is a Red 2006 Saturn Ion and the other is a Silver/gray 2004 Saturn Ion. We aren't planning on picking up the cars until a few days before Christmas. We will be parking them at a neighbors until Christmas morning and then either putting them in the garage or driveway... |
My DH and I gave our grandson a used truck for Christmas 2 years ago. what we did was hid it in the garage and did gifts to all to unwrap except Tyler, he was they last to unwrap and while others were unwrapping my DH backed truck in driveway came in handed him a TINY box with a key.wrapping paper was a short note saying he had a key to our hearts! He loved it! Needless to say many tears were shed that morning. |
I like the idea of the key(s) in a set of small to larger boxes, wrapped in newpaper, one or two having small, but not overly obvious, vehicle ads. Since both boys are gettng cars, make the box heavy, hard to unwrap and open, even requiring a small tool, that Double the pleasure, double the fun! Sue |
Another idea would be to buy a gift (more on that in a minute)..and wrap it in several bigger boxes so he has to open about 5 of them until he gets to the 'gift'. The gift could be one of those 'emergency' kits that you keep in the trunk of a car..flares, flashlight, etc. Oh, and don't forget to put the keys to his new wheels inside of the kit!! You could tape this poem on the outside of the wrapped kit: "You know how important you and your safety is, to dad & me- And although this gift is no 'biggie' we're sure you'll agree. Because you fill us with so much love, joy and pride... We hope you'll find some happiness with what's inside." |
I know it isn't very unique, but I have always wanted a car with a big red bow on it. I am a sucker for that. |
Thanks for all the ideas! I will share this with my DH tomorrow. In the meantime, I came up with some rhyming lines, but not sure they all go together. If anbody wants to add or change this to make it better, please do... Santa is working hard this year He's giggling and laughing and shouting with glee Santa knows you are going to need a lift this special gift is just for you Just remember wherever you go My other idea I came up with is to use the 12 Days of Christmas, but I can't think of something for each day...again, please add or change anything.... On the 12th day of Christmas my parents gave to me |
I remember doing a clue hunt one year when we gave my nephew a bicycle. The first clue was wrapped in a box under the tree. Then, he had to follow other clues until he arrived in the garage where we had stashed the bike with a big red bow on it. The clues were little puzzles related to locations within the house. I can't remember them, but one was something about finding a set of keys which meant looking in the piano. It was hysterical watching him try to figure out the clues while running all over the house. Of course, your boys are older so they might not think it's very funny. |

[720] The Usefulness of New Preparatory Procedures for EUS-FNAB To Diagnose Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor.
Tomoko Wakasa, Kumiko Inayama, Kenichi Wakasa, Masahiko Ohsawa, Yoshihiro Okabe, Yukio Osaki. Osaka Red Cross Hospital, Japan; Osaka City University Graduate School of Medicine, Japan
Background: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNAB) is very useful for the diagnosis of submucosal tumor of the stomach. At present, immunohistochemical staining is necessary to diagnose and confirm the malignant potential of mesenchymal tumors. However, the preparation of a sufficient amount of a paraffin-embedded block is often difficult, because samples often contain a large amount of blood. The bloody contents make it difficult to detect the tumor or interpret the results of immunohistochemistry. We herein established a new preparatory method using culture medium for EUS-FNAB specimens and evaluated its utility.
Design: Between October 2008 to August 2010, 24 patients diagnosed with a submucosal tumor of the stomach and 2 patients with that of the duodenum underwent EUS-FNAB. Specimens were obtained by physicians using EUS with a 22-gauge needle. All specimens were immediately put into 10 ml of culture medium in a Petri dish (Hanks solution, Nissui Pharmaceutical, Tokyo, Japan). The dish was transferred to the laboratory, and then we separated tissue samples and mucus from the clot. The tissue samples were put into a fine mesh bag, and were processed routinely for paraffin sections and HE staining. After the pathologist diagnosed the tumors based on HE staining, immunohistochemical staining for c-kit (CD117), CD34, smooth muscle actin, Ki-67, and S-100 was performed for mesenchymal tumors.The reactivity for each immunohistochemical stainings was compared with tissues from surgically resected specimens.To evaluate the volume of the collected tissue samples, the area of positive staining for c-kit was measured using on image analyzing system (WinROOF, Mitani Co., Tokyo, Japan).
Results: Sixteen cases were diagnosed as GIST and 3 cases as adenocarcinoma, 6 cases as ectopic pancreas, and 1 case as schwannoma. All cases involved a high yield of tissues, and so we could diagnose them histologically. Among them, 10 cases of GIST, 1 case of adenocarcinoma, and 1 case of schwannoma were operated on. In all 10 surgically resected cases of GIST, the diagnoses and the immunoreactivity of EUS-FNAB specimens were consistent with those based on surgical specimens. In 16 GISTs, the average area of c-kit-positive tissue was 5.15 mm2 (2.1 to 9.7) in paraffin-embedded specimens.
Conclusions: Our methods using culture medium ensure a sufficient amount of histological specimens for immunohistochemical staining.

Immigrant Profiles & Demographics
Immigrant Profiles & Demographics
Recent Activity
Economic turmoil has been a primary driver of emigration from The Gambia, located in West Africa and the smallest country on the African continent. Despite having a decades-old, extensive diaspora mainly in Spain, the United States, Nigeria, Senegal, and the United Kingdom, the Gambian government has only very recently begun to reach out to its citizens abroad. This article explores The Gambia's migration history, emigration and immigration trends, remittances, economic impacts of skilled emigration, and recent efforts by the government to reach out to The Gambian diaspora.
In 2011, there were 25.3 million Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals residing in the United States, or roughly 9 percent of the nation's population ages 5 and older. Although most LEP individuals were foreign born, nearly one-fifth of this population was native born, about three-quarters of whom were children ages 5 to 17. This article provides a demographic and socioeconomic profile of LEP individuals residing in the United States, including the population's size, geographic distribution, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Immigrants from the Philippines made up 4.5 percent of the 40.4 million immigrants in the United States in 2011. Although this population—1.8 million strong in 2011—has grown 17 times its size since 1960, its share among Asian immigrants overall has decreased since that year. This article examines the latest data on Filipino immigrants in the United States, including population size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Immigrants from South America made up 2.7 million (about 7 percent) of the United States' foreign-born population of 40.4 million in 2011. While the share may seem small, this population has grown 30 times its size since 1960, when about 90,000 South American immigrants resided in the country. This article examines the latest data on South American immigrants in the United States, including population size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Fundamental demographic, economic, and educational changes have set Mexico on a new path, significantly altering its migration-related priorities and concerns vis-a-vis the United States and Central America. This article examines new migration trends, Mexico's role as a country of transit and increasingly of destination, the 2011 migration law, remittances, government policies on the Mexican diaspora, and more.

African immigrants generally fare well on integration indicators, with college completion rates that greatly exceed those for most other immigrant groups and U.S. natives, this report finds. The United States, Canada, and Australia disproportionally attract better-educated African migrants then do the United Kingdom, France, and other European countries.
Immigration from the Caribbean to the United States is a relatively recent phenomenon, beginning largely after 1965. This report provides a demographic profile of the 1.7 million Caribbean immigrants in the United States: their geographic settlement, education and workforce characteristics, earnings, modes of entry, and more.
This report finds that the 813,000 U.S. children under the age of 10 who have Black immigrant parents from Africa or the Caribbean generally fall in the middle of multiple well-being indicators, faring less well than Asian and white children but better than their native-born Black and Hispanic peers. Citizenship status, English proficiency, parental characteristics, poverty, housing, and access to social supports are examined.

Bobby Bowden Field at Doak S. Campbell Stadium
Attendance: 68,833
Tallahassee, FL (Sports Network) - Chris Thompson racked up 197 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns on just nine carries, as the No. 5 Florida State Seminoles rolled over Wake Forest, 52-0, at Doak Campbell Stadium.
"What a difference a year makes," FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. "It's amazing. It can't happen to a better young man. I'm very proud of him today. I'm very proud of our team."
Thompson's outburst came 11 months after he suffered a career-threatening broken neck in a 35-30 loss at Wake last October.
EJ Manuel threw for 176 yards and two scores on 15-of-24 efficiency, also contributing 48 yards and a rushing score for the Seminoles (3-0, 1-0 ACC), who had beaten Murray State and Savannah State handily to begin the year.
Kenny Shaw and Rodney Smith posted TD receptions as Florida State accumulated 612 yards of total offense.
Tanner Price was limited to 82 passing yards on just 8-of-22 passing for the Demon Deacons (2-1, 1-1 ACC), who posted narrow wins over Liberty and North Carolina to kick off the season.
Wake Forest suffered the worst defeat against its conference foe since a 72-13 setback on Oct. 14, 1995.
The Seminoles' opening score was aided by excellent field position following a Wake Forest punt late in the first quarter. Stationed on their opponent's side of midfield, it took three plays and 47 yards to make it 7-0, thanks to Manuel's 16-yard run. Thompson carried on the first two plays, gaining 31 yards total.
After a three-and-out from the visitors, Rashad Greene raced 60 yards up the middle on a punt return for a 14-0 game, and Thompson punctuated an FSU drive early in the second with a 74-yard touchdown run along the right side.
Thompson had an even longer run, an 80-yard dash to the end zone, on the first play of the hosts' ensuing series, and the advantage ballooned to 28-0.
"I didn't know if I'd ever play again. I didn't know if I'd be walking straight," Thompson admitted.
The lead was increased by three after a 19-yard make from Dustin Hopkins, and a 20-yard connection from Manuel to Smith closed out the half at 38-0.
Shaw managed to get one foot in bounds at the back of the end zone for a 17- yard score inside the final minute of the third period.
Debrale Smiley's 18-yard scamper made it 52-0 early in the fourth to cap the rout.

Kentucky Wildflowers are Almost Too Beautiful for Words
You already know how obsessed I am with animals and birds – but you may not know that I'm just as over-the-edge nuts over flowers and trees. The picture above was taken at Rough River Dam State Resort Park last year – at one point I was, literally, sitting amongst the flowers, joyfully photographing them like it was my job. At one point, I realized that a heron was watching me, I guess she was wondering what kind of flower loving species I was. Because of my infatuation with the gorgeous black-eyed susans, I missed a couple of really, really, really great pictures I could have taken of the heron.
Ah, Nature girl problems.
A news item came through me e-mail like a ray of sunshine this morning. Natural Bridge State Resort Park has an event coming up (in mid-April) that's custom made for those of us who lose ourselves in flowers.

Singer Marie Osmond made a big announcement during her appearance on "The Talk" on Tuesday… she's going to be a grandma.
Osmond, 53, explained that her oldest son Stephen James Craig, 30, and his wife Claire Olds are expecting their first child together, which was revealed to Osmond during her son's birthday party.
"He blew out the candles and then blew me away and said, 'You're gonna be a grandma!' It was really fun."
Everyone seemed elated about the happy news, including "The Talk" co-host Sharon Osbourne, who told Osmond, "It is a gift from God and congratulations."
Osmond has been married three times. She remarried her first husband, Stephen Lyle Craig, in 2011.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Are we beginning again to tell you how good we are? Some people need to bring letters of recommendation with them or ask you to write letters of recommendation for them. | 1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? |
2 But the only letter of recommendation we need is you yourselves! Your lives are a letter written in our hearts, and everyone can read it and recognize our good work among you. | 2 You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. |
3 Clearly, you are a letter from Christ prepared by us. It is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on stone, but on human hearts. | 3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. |
4 We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ. | 4 Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. |
5 It is not that we think we can do anything of lasting value by ourselves. Our only power and success come from God. | 5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. |
6 He is the one who has enabled us to represent his new covenant. This is a covenant, not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old way ends in death; in the new way, the Holy Spirit gives life. | 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant--not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. |
7 That old system of law etched in stone led to death, yet it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses' face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away. | 7 Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, |
8 Shouldn't we expect far greater glory when the Holy Spirit is giving life? | 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? |
9 If the old covenant, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new covenant, which makes us right with God! | 9 If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! |
10 In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new covenant. | 10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. |
11 So if the old covenant, which has been set aside, was full of glory, then the new covenant, which remains forever, has far greater glory. | 11 And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts! |
12 Since this new covenant gives us such confidence, we can be very bold. | 12 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. |
13 We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory fading away. | 13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away. |
14 But the people's minds were hardened, and even to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, a veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. | 14 But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. |
15 Yes, even today when they read Moses' writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand. | 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. |
16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, then the veil is taken away. | 16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. |
17 Now, the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, he gives freedom. | 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. |
18 And all of us have had that veil removed so that we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord. And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him and reflect his glory even more. | 18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. |

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, October 29, 2013
Secretary of State Jon Husted Marks Major Achievement in Ongoing Effort to Maintain Ohio's Voter Rolls Statewide Voter Registration Database effectively clear of duplicate registrations ahead of next Tuesday's General Election.
Columbus – Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted today announced a significant milestone regarding voter list maintenance. Working with county boards of elections officials, nearly all duplicate registrations have been cleared from the Statewide Voter Registration Database. As it stands heading into the 2013 General Election, out of more than 7.7 million voters statewide, there are currently just four duplicate registrations, a dramatic drop from the more than 340,000 duplicate records that existed in January 2011, when Secretary Husted took office.
"Maintaining accurate and up-to-date voter rolls is an ongoing process that is important in helping to ensure greater security and more efficiency in the administration of elections in Ohio," Secretary Husted said. "The success our state has had in cleaning up the voter rolls is one example of how we are making it easier to vote and harder cheat."
Ohio's Progress Maintaining Ohio's Voter Rolls
"Working with the 88 county boards of elections, we have done more in the last two and a half years to improve and maintain the Ohio's voter rolls than has been done since the Statewide Voter Registration Database was established in 2004 – ensuring the system's integrity and instilling confidence into Ohio voters."

How to Save on Paint
Whether you're painting an entire room or a piece of furniture that needs freshening up, a new color can make a dramatic difference. If you're headed out to buy a new can of paint, keep this tip in mind to save some cash.
Ask the sales associate at your local paint shop or home store where they keep cans of paint that customers didn't end up taking, or ones that were returned due to incorrect color choices. If you are willing to be a bit flexible with your own color choice, it's a great way to stretch your dollar. Often, you can score an entire gallon of paint for a quarter of the original price.

Hope someone on here can answer this question for me. Drywall guys just finished and I am not sure if the work is up to a Level 5 finish which is what I am paying for. You can still see where the tape was but it does look like everything got skim coated. It just looks like it isnt very even across all surfaces. Just wondering if this is how it is supposed to be or not. Worried that the paint will flash, or will the primer even everything out? Here are some pics to help out. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. I hate telling someone I dont think they did it right unless I have a good reason too! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by sierraeast (My Page) on Sat, Feb 11, 12 at 20:51
You should be fine. The purpose of the skimcoat is to "size" the paper surface of the drywall so that you have a consistent "mudded" surface over the entire area. Primer with two top coats finish is typical for a decent paint coating(s). You want to make sure all seaming is level to the touch which is the most importanr step before skimcoating. A level 4 is basically a nice flat seaming of all mud joints without the skimcoating. The skimcoating simply ties it all in . On a level 4 if care is not used when primering/painting, you end up seeing seams because the paper area of the drywall in the feild is a different surface than the mudded surfaces and and that difference can show theough. |
Yeah...this work seems OK. All dust possible must be removed as well. Hopefully a good primer will be used!!! What final paint-sheen and/or texture (if any!) will be used? Faron |
Any primers to avoid? I think they are using BM super hide. |
- Posted by christophern (My Page) on Mon, Feb 13, 12 at 5:33
anything that says PVA is no good BM super hide would be good |
Any thoughts on roller nap for painting level 5? Hired painters to spray primer and finish the ceiling but I am going to paint the rooms since we have a different color in every room, or so it seems. Dont want to end up with texture from the paint. Was thinking 3/16 or 1/4. MOst paint will probably me eggshell or satin. Might use some BM pearl as well. Any thoughts on BM pearl finish? |
3/8" nap is most common for washable finishes, though I generally use a 1/2". You don't want any texture from the roller? Why not? It's pretty common to have some stipple, even for smooth finishes. |
Would like as little texture as possible because thats what my wife wants!! Strictly a self preservation instinct! Would going to 1/4 be a big difference? 1/4 will be take more time since the roller load is smaller? |
Yes, going to a shorter nap will take longer since the cover simply cannot hold as much paint, but the finish will indeed be smoother assuming it is a high quality cover and you do not overwork the paint. Put it on and leave it alone - lots of tips around here on how to do that. As for your finish choice, obviously with level 5 walls, any sheen should look great but unless you like the shine and/or need the extra durability, eggshell should do the trick. |
One more question! I have read that the primer should be sanded before the finish coats are applied. Is that still recommended for a level 5 finish? |
If the walls are smooth after applying the primer coat, then there is no need to sand. If they are rough, then sand them. Also, if more than a few weeks go by before you are able to apply finish coats, then it is also a good idea to sand. |
Just a note for an excellent OP and fabulous answers. I have similar questions in 2014, only I'm the one skim coating the walls. I wanted to know when to stop fussing over it, and what primer to use to help me get a nice smooth look. Now I know. I have drywall that was put up in 1963-4 then covered with builder grade wallpaper (same texture AND background color as the drywall paper) covered in 1985-6 foil wallpaper. It was horribly difficult to remove (scorer + DIF + a steamer + a putty knife + a shaving tool + patience + over a year of stopping and starting), and I had easily a thousand divots in the walls (and ceiling, ugh) of my tiny powder room. I probably could have stopped sanding, cleaning, touching the walls, adding a little more mud, sanding, cleaning, touching the walls, adding a little more mud a few days ago! Now I'm off to buy Zinnser's 1-2-3 primer. Your well-asked and generously answered question is a gift that keeps on giving. Thanks for your help. |
- Posted by brushworks Zone5-Ohio (My Page) on Thu, Mar 13, 14 at 9:22
A level 5 finish can only be accomplished by a combination of paint (is it self leveling?) and roller cover. Good luck. For assured level 5 satisfaction, I recommend hiring a level 5 painting crew. |

Strippers, guns, rap music, booty shaking, gangstas … why, it's the most offensive, sexist, racist political ad you've ever seen. This NSFW commercial called "Hahn's Homeboyz" begins to criticize Janice Hahn, a Los Angeles City Councilwoman running for a Democratic Congressional seat, for her proposal to use "taxpayer money" to hire former gang members in prison "so they could rape and kill again!" I mean, so they could teach current gang members how to quit the life. Which, uh, actually doesn't sound like a bad idea, when you think about it.
But no matter. There's race-baiting to be had. Keep reading »

Last night for the first time since it first came out i saw the haunted mansion ( it was on abc ) and it really wasn't that bad. I was just wondering what did everyone else think about it.
I actually enjoyed the movie. Others in my family didn't. I thought it was pretty funny and the special effects were really good.
ok .. here i go...
I think it has it moments but in the long run i was dissappointed! Disney could have done so many things with the mansion movie.. instead they just put eddie murphy in a haunted house...
I thought the story of the mansion was creative.. but i wish they got into more detail of why it got cursed, who gracey is..etc.
If i was in charge of the story i would make it all about the mansion, so basically the history of the mansion and why it is haunted.
They could have made a great movie! It could have been as big a pirates if they just got a good solid story.:book:
The part of the movie that ruined it for me was the ending.. it was way to cheesy...!:wall:
I love the singing busts and the way the mansion looked but the rest was .. not good.
The only things i like about it are the costumes and the set.
so the movie was like 2 1/2 stars out of five for me!
It was an OK Movie
Movie....Not Terrible
It was on last night on the Disney Channel. watched a few minutes of it, Then turned it off. Could have been such a great movie.
Not that bad for me. I agree with you guys that the ending could have been better.
lol i posted like a huge post and you guys all put one sentance in... i'm weird
It wasnt the greatest movie I've seen, but it wasn't bad either.
I was dissappointed, but was also surprised that it wasn't as bad as I had heard. Everyone had told me how terrible it was. They should've hired Eliot and Rossio to write the script, as POTC #1 was the only great ride movie IMO.
I think what worked for POTC was the elaboration of the ride's backstory. You didn't really get that with HM, and it's too bad. I would've liked to have seen something more tied in to the ride's story line. The ride played cameos in the film instead of being integral to the plot.
I feel the same way. The movie is good, but it could have been better. They could have done the story of how it got haunted and then scare people. Another one is do a sanace (sp?) and contact the ghosts to find out things and then explain it all. The movie just could have been better....that's all!

[9775/06] Mr. Brennan Mr. Brennan Mr. Brennan: Under the Government programme of decentralisation, it is proposed that all headquarter sections of the Department will relocate to six provincial locations: Drogheda, Carrick-on-Shannon, Sligo, Donegal town, Buncrana and Carrickmacross. As part of the Department's decentralisation implementation plan, the maintenance recovery unit, MRU, which comprises some 14 employees and is currently located in Finglas, has been included in those sections of the Department designated to decentralise to Carrick-on-Shannon. None of the employees currently serving in MRU has applied through the central application facility to relocate with the section to Carrick-on-Shannon. Posts in the MRU will be filled by applicants on the decentralisation central applications facility who have expressed an interest in relocating to Carrick-on-Shannon. Accommodation in Carrick-on-Shannon is being provided in a new building that is currently under construction and is scheduled for completion at the end of 2006. It is anticipated that the relocation of staff and sections of the Department to Carrick-on-Shannon will begin in early 2007 and be completed later that year. Dáil Éireann 616 Written Answers.

Coldplay is one of our Entertainers of the Year
If in the past year you've found yourself stalked by Coldplay -- in restaurants, yoga class, even the toilet at the gas station, for crying out loud -- Chris Martin, the band's lead singer, has something to say about it: ''Please accept my sincere apology.''
Not since Moby's 1999 Play has an album become as ubiquitous as A Rush of Blood to the Head, the double-platinum, Grammy-winning second CD by four Brits who -- come to think of it -- enjoyed ubiquity with their debut, 2000's Parachutes. But while Moby's songs were everywhere thanks to a slew of commercials, Coldplay (who have turned down millions in endorsement offers) were 2003's sonic wallpaper by dint of personal choice; the band's haunting, heartfelt, and broodingly optimistic tunes have come to define this moment in time.
Thankfully, this is not going to anyone's head. Returning to the band's native England, with its more predatory music press, ''you can feel like everyone hates you,'' says Martin. He and bandmates Johnny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and Will Champion ''have had a couple of months of feeling like total s -- -. We're going to keep out of the press so people don't get sick of us.''
Good luck with that. A Rush of Blood's popularity shows no signs of abating (the lush and cascading ''Clocks'' just scored a Record of the Year Grammy nod), and newlywed Martin is expecting a child with a certain suicidal-poet-playing actress. All of which is a difficult situation for a band that nurses its anonymity. ''It's a strange position, to be in one of the biggest bands in the world and no one knows who you are,'' says Champion. Still, ''I'm pretty pleased we're that way.''
Utter sincerity -- a vanishing trait in pop -- is, in fact, the band's most charming quality. ''We take s -- - for being boring. It just means that instead of doing coke or partying with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, we lock ourselves away and think of a new chord,'' says Martin. ''Mind you, I would love to hang out with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.''

Our Sunday Book Salon gives us a chance to discuss neoliberalism with Philip Mirowski, author of Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste: How Neoliberalism Survived the Financial Meltdown. Most people have a general idea of some of the theories of neoliberalism, especially the general idea that markets should be the dominant force in society. Mirowski traces the roots of this idea to Frederich Hayek and his Mont Pelerin Society. This group expanded and morphed into what Mirowski calls a Russian Doll approach to formulating and implementing a strange notion of humans as consumers and workers and nothing more worth mentioning. It serves the interest of right-wing billionaires, who are glad to fund it.
We can see the influence of those ideas in the Chicago School of Economics, and in economics generally, as the perhaps more humanistic approach of the worldly speculator, John Maynard Keynes, has disappeared. Here's a sample of one current argument in economics from Simon Wren-Lewis. He says that New Keynesian models describe consumers as perfectly rational actors who have the ability to borrow money as they need it.* If they get a tax cut, they assume it will be followed by a tax hike, so they save the money to pay their taxes later. The minor change in their lifetime income resulting from a tax cut doesn't affect their spending. They use borrowing to smooth out fluctuations in their incomes. Does that describe anyone you know or have ever known? Why would you make policies out of that trash?
These and many other ideas are at one level just theoretical constructs needed to make it possible to crank out mathematical formulas to describe the economy and guess at the impact of changes in government policy and changes in private sector behavior. Of course, that kind of modeling has been a massive failure.
But, for neoliberals, it's more than just theory. Their goal is to manipulate human beings into becoming creatures just like these constructs. And they are achieving their goals. We saw it in Jennifer Silva's book, Coming Up Short, as the young working class people she interviewed see themselves as entrepreneurs of the self, making investments of their time and borrowed money in themselves, hoping to make themselves marketable. If they succeed, as a few have, they think it is because of their efforts alone. If they fail, they think that too is their fault, and that it is fair that they alone should suffer the consequences. In either case, they don't think it's fair that some people get help from the government. If the government doesn't help them, why should it help anyone else?
The fundamental evil of this approach is that it hides a crucial reality of life from the victims. The people who nurture and organize the manipulation and those all-powerful and all-knowing Markets are exempt from the strictures of those markets. They are the elect, the authorities, the Priestly Keepers of Secret Knowledge. They are not like you and me. And neither are their creatures, Corporations. These new Corporate Persons are not to be subjected to laws created through some semi-democratic process, and neither are their human operators, at least at the highest, Jamie Dimon/Lloyd Blankfein level, any more than the people who lie for the National Security Branch of government are subject to the law. These exalted Heroes are beyond the understanding of mere humans, they are God-like Creatures, whose gift it is to comprehend the Oracles of the Market and translate them into punishment and rewards for us little elements of social groupings. And if you don't believe me, just check out the CEO-worshippers on CNBC and in the business magazines.
Here are some posts taking up Mirowski's ideas; I hope they will help encourage discussion on Sunday. See you there!
Homo Economicus Replaces the Middle Class
How We Govern Our Selves and Ourselves
Konczal, Douthat and Neoliberalism
The Neoliberal Quantum State Theory of Markets
The Blighted Future of the Middle Class (more by Silva on neoliberalism among working class young people.)
*Here is Wren-Lewis in his own words:
Basic NK models employ the construct of the (possibly infinitely lived) intertemporal consumer. To explain, these consumers look at the present value of their expected lifetime income, and the income of their descendents if they care about them (hence infinitely lived). This has two implications. First, temporary shocks to current income will have very little impact on NK consumption (it is a drop in the ocean of lifetime income). The marginal propensity to consume out of that temporary income (mpc) is near zero, so no multiplier on that account. Second, a tax cut today means tax increases tomorrow, leaving the present value of lifetime post-tax income unchanged, so NK consumers just save a tax cut (Ricardian Equivalence), whereas OK consumers spend most of it. However NK consumers are sensitive to the real interest rate, so if higher output today leads to higher inflation but the nominal interest rate remains unchanged, then you get a multiplier of sorts because NK consumers react to lower real interest rates by spending more.
So far, so different. But the NK consumption model assumes that agents can borrow whatever they need to borrow. There are good theoretical reasons why that is unlikely to be true (e.g. asymmetric information), and even better empirical evidence that it is not. Empirical studies that look for 'natural experiments', where agents obtain an unexpected increase in post-tax income which is likely to be temporary, typically find a mpc of around a third (even for non-durables), rather than almost zero as the basic intertemporal model would predict.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Senshi!
Facts about Senshi
- Breed: Shiba Inu
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Senshi's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, not good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Other Pets at DC Shiba Inu Rescue (DCSIR)
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Senshi, a Manassas Shiba Inu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shiba Inu for sale in Manassas, or seeking a Shiba Inu dog from a breeder in Manassas.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manassas already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Manassas breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shiba Inu breeders who help with Shiba Inu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manassas paves the way for another one to be saved.

I'm brandy-newish myself. just joined up yesterday, and I'm already addicted. Like Emobelle before me, I too work at a theme park, but it can't even begin to compare to someplace like Disney. I go to school just over an hour from WDW, and being a season pass holder, I visit on day trips to WDW every 2 or 3 weeks.
I love taking a lot of pictures when I visit the parks, and I look forward to sharing many of them with you. Unfortunately, because I'm always the one behind the camera, I have very few of me there. This is one of the few I have. It's of myself and my girlfriend on 2/19/05. I'll have to remember to have someone take one of me the next time I go, perhaps I'll get one in Lou's "spot".
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing you all around the board, sharing some pics, and picking up some of those uber-cool little-known tidbits you guys and gals are so great at throwin out there. Thanks for this place. It rocks my socks!
I just remembered that I had a couple of ride pics hanging around my dorm room... I'm going to throw those up here as well for ya! The first (Splash Mtn) is from Aug. 5th, '97. I'm in the front in yellow, and the woman in blue is my mom I was 13 in that picture. In the second pic (Test Track), I'm in the back right. This one was from July 16th, 2000. Sitting next to me is my youngest brother, and in the back left is my dad. I'm 16 in that one. ...By the way, check out the coils of wires on the right side of the pic. Can that be considered a 'hidden mickey'?
