US 5439694 A Abstract A method and apparatus is shown for subjecting animal carcasses immediately after slaughter and evisceration to residence for a specific time period in a steam chamber for the purpose of preheating the skin of the carcasses to assist in controlling the moisture absorption of the carcasses in a chiller as well as for sterilization of the carcasses to kill harmful bacteria on all exposed surfaces of the eviscerated carcasses.
Claims(4) 1. A method of preparing poultry including the steps of
a) suspending slaughtered and eviscerated poultry carcasses from an overhead, track-type conveyor line; b) moving said carcasses along said conveyor line and through flexible rubber doors placed at openings to an enclosed chamber; c) moving said carcasses into said chamber through one of said doors and retaining said carcasses in said chamber for a predetermined length of time; d) injecting live steam of at least atmospheric pressure into said chamber so as to contact all exposed surface areas of said carcasses with said live steam for said predetermined length of time; and e) moving said carcasses out of said chamber through another of said doors and into cold water for chilling and moisture absorption. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein said carcasses are moved continuously along said conveyer line and wherein said conveyer line forms a portion of a continuous processing line for preparing said poultry for sale to consumers.
3. A method of preparing poultry including the steps of
a) suspending slaughtered and eviscerated poultry carcasses from an overhead, track-type conveyor line; b) moving said carcasses along said conveyer line and into an area having live, atmospheric steam directed at said carcasses so that said carcasses are exposed to said steam for a predetermined length of time, and c) moving said carcasses along said conveyor line away from said area and into chilled water for chilling and moisture absorption. 4. An apparatus for assisting in moisture absorption by poultry products and for sterilizing all external surface areas of said poultry products, wherein said apparatus comprises:
an overhead, track-type conveyer line; means for suspending slaughtered and eviscerated poultry carcasses from said conveyor line; means for moving said poultry carcasses along said conveyer line; an elongated, substantially enclosed chamber; said conveyer line passing through said chamber, entering said chamber through a first opening and exiting said chamber through a second opening; flexible rubber doors being provided for sealing closed said first and second openings and for allowing passage of said poultry carcasses; means for injecting live steam of at least atmospheric pressure into said chamber; and means for shutting off said injection of live steam when said poultry carcasses are not moving along said conveyer line. Description 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to processes and apparatuses for preparing poultry and other meat products prior to human consumption. More specifically, the invention relates to a method and a device for assisting in the control of moisture absorption of animal carcasses during the chilling of the carcasses as well as sterilization of the carcasses prior to the chilling procedure. 2. Related Art It has been a long established practice and is now universally adopted as standard procedure in the industry to chill poultry in a cold water bath after evisceration to reduce the body temperature of the eviscerated birds as rapidly as possible from approximately 100� F. to below 40� F. to meet USDA requirements as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,004,407, 3,250,086 and 3,410,101. It is also common knowledge that these carcasses absorb a certain amount of moisture during the chilling process. The amount of moisture that may be absorbed by any particular size and type of bird is specifically limited by the USDA to assure that this practice is not abused. Therefore, it is of special concern to the processing plant that this "moisture pick up" be controlled as closely to that specified by the USDA as possible without the danger of exceeding the maximum which could cause the product to be impounded by the USDA for 24 hours or until the moisture was within limits. It has also been generally recognized that the temperature of the skin of the carcass along with the amount of agitation that the bird received during the chilling process has a great deal of influence on the amount of moisture picked up. In recognition of this fact, the USDA places a maximum allowable temperature limit on the water temperature in the chiller of 60� F. In a similar manner it is a well established fact that controlling the skin temperature of the bird as it enters the picker greatly influences the ease and effectiveness of the picking operation, which is accomplished by passing the birds through a scalder with carefully controlled temperature immediately prior to the picking operation and in certain cases to even go through a second scalding operation for certain hard to pick areas such as the necks. This invention relates to a method and apparatus for preheating the skin and all exposed surfaces of poultry or other animal carcasses immediately before the carcasses are immersed in a chiller to precondition the skin of the carcasses in order to help control the moisture absorption of the carcasses during the chilling process. Preheating the animal carcasses prior to immersion in a chiller produces an effect similar to the effect of a scalder prior to picking. When poultry products are scalded prior to picking the heat relaxes the muscles in the skin that hold the feathers in. When relaxed, these muscles release their grip on the feathers so that the feathers may be removed more easily by the picking machines. Similarly, the preheating of poultry products in a steam chamber tends to relax the muscles in the skin to allow the pores of the skin to open prior to immersion in the chiller resulting in a greater moisture uptake in less time and providing for greater control of moisture absorption in conjunction with the control of the chilling process itself. In view of the fact that the birds are going through a steam preheating chamber for preheating to facilitate greater control of the moisture absorption process, an opportunity is also presented to accomplish at the same time the sterilization of these birds to minimize bacteriological contamination. Salmonella bacteria contamination is of particular concern to parties interested in or involved with the poultry industry. While salmonella contamination can occur internally in the body and bloodstream of the animals, the subject of primary concern to the slaughter and processing plant is in the nature of external or surface contamination on the carcass of the animal as it is processed. If this external or surface contamination can be minimized, a major part of the contamination problem will be solved. It is a well documented fact that salmonella bacteria is killed by heat at a temperature in excess of 150� F. for a duration of approximately 7 seconds or more. This inventive apparatus and process proposes a means for accomplishing such heat sterilization at an opportune point in the processing procedure for animal carcasses and with minimum alteration of the current processing procedure. This is accomplished by heat sterilizing the animal carcasses at the same time that the carcasses are preheated prior to entering the chiller in order to aid in moisture absorption. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention poultry products being processed on an eviscerating line while being transported on an overhead track-type conveyor line are subsequently passed through an enclosed chamber into which live steam is injected at atmospheric pressure after the final wash of the eviscerated poultry products and before emersion of the poultry products in a chiller. The invention is better understood by reading the following Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawing figure, in which like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout, and in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the overhead, track-type conveyor line and steam chamber that make up the subject inventive apparatus. Referring initially to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown including a substantially cylindrical steam chamber 20 having a first opening 22 at a first end and a second opening 24 at a second end. Steam chamber 20 is positioned substantially horizontally and an overhead track-type conveyer line 26 enters steam chamber 20 through first opening 22 and passes through the steam chamber 20 along an uppermost portion of steam chamber 20 and parallel to the central axis of steam chamber 20, exiting at second opening 24. Track support rods 28 pass through the outer shell 21 of steam chamber 20 at spaced intervals, extending into the uppermost portion of steam chamber 20 and providing means for supporting conveyer line 26 within steam chamber 20. A plurality of access doors 30 are hingedly connected to a side wall portion of outer shell 21 of steam chamber 20 for closing off openings through outer shell 21 of steam chamber 20 provided to allow access to the interior of steam chamber 20. A drain line 32 leads from an opening through a bottom portion of steam chamber 20 and provides means for draining condensate accumulated within steam chamber 20 during the processing of the animal carcasses. Rubber doors 34 are provided over first opening 22 and second opening 24. Animal carcasses are suspended from conveyer line 26 by shackles or meat hooks spaced at intervals along conveyer line 26. Carcasses being moved along conveyor line 26 enter steam chamber 20 through rubber door 34 located over first opening 22. Live steam is injected into steam chamber 20 through steam line 36 at pressures equal to or above atmospheric. This live steam contacts all exposed surfaces of the animal carcasses suspended from conveyer line 26 as the carcasses pass through steam chamber 20. Sensors and an electronic solenoid valve can be provided to cut off steam provided through steam line 36 whenever conveyer line 26 stops moving. This feature ensures that the animal carcasses will not be exposed to the steam for a period of time greater than the period of time determined to be effective for killing all surface salmonella bacteria on the carcasses and for preheating the carcasses in order to facilitate moisture absorption during the subsequent chilling process. In an alternative embodiment steam chamber 20 can be eliminated and live steam can be directed at carcasses suspended from conveyer line 26 by positioning a plurality of steam lines 36 along a portion of conveyer line 26. Conveyer line 26 can be provided as a continuation of the processing line carrying the animal carcasses from means for eviscerating the carcasses and leading to subsequent processing steps including immersion in chilled water and final packaging of the processed meat products. Placement of steam lines 36 and steam chamber 20 along conveyer line 26 allows for inclusion of the present inventive method and apparatus at a convenient point in existing processing procedures and lines with a minimum alteration of current processing procedures. The steam serves to preheat the poultry products as well as to sterilize all external surfaces of the poultry products prior to emersion in a chiller where moisture absorption is maximized as a result.

Yemeni government troops battle opponents, 8 dead
- Tweet
- Share this
SANAA, Oct 17 - At least eight people were killed in Yemen's capital Sanaa in overnight clashes between government forces and fighters allied with activists demanding an end to Ali Abdullah Saleh's 33 years in office, witnesses said on Monday.
Witnesses said six civilians were among those killed in the fighting between government troops on one side, and fighters loyal to tribal leader Sheikh Sadeq al-Ahmar on the other. Ahmar's fighters are backed by a breakaway army unit led by a general from the same tribe, Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar.
A shell killed three people when it landed near a field hospital set up at "Change Square," where thousands of protesters have camped for months demanding Saleh step down, witnesses said.
Violence in Yemen has surged since Saturday as U.N. Security Council members consider a resolution expected to urge Saleh to step down under a peace plan hammered out by neighboring Gulf states.
Saleh has remained in office despite ten months of mass protests against his rule inspired by demonstrations across the Arab world. Opposition to him has turned increasingly violent and organized, threatening to plunge the country into all-out civil war.
Yemen, the Arab world's poorest country, also faces tribal conflict, violence from a strong regional al Qaeda wing, separatism in the south and sectarian conflict in the north.
Saleh, who says he is ready to step down but wants to ensure that control of the country is put in safe hands, has said he is relying on support from Russia and China to stop moves to force him to step down.
Speaking at a meeting of his security and military chiefs in Sanaa, he said Western countries with permanent seats on the Security Council had based their decisions on information gathered solely from the opposition.
The United States and Saudi Arabia, which shares a long and porous border with Yemen, fear that al Qaeda is taking advantage of the political vacuum to expand its influence.
Islamist militants linked to al Qaeda captured large swathes of southern Abyan province, including regional capital Zinjibar, earlier this year. The Yemeni army last month drove the militants out of Zinjibar, east of a strategic shipping strait through which some 3 million barrels of oil pass daily.
Tribal sources said at least five people were killed late on Sunday when tribesmen ambushed members of al Qaeda in Zinjibar. Local officials said security forces captured three suspected militants, including a Saudi national, in the incident.
"The tribal fighters ambushed the militants as they were transporting military supplies late on Sunday. The two sides fought, leading to the deaths of four militants and one tribesman," a tribal source told Reuters.
The tribesmen also destroyed a D-130 tank which militants had seized from the Yemeni army when captured Zinjibar earlier this year, the source said.
Suspected militants blew up Yemen's gas pipeline last week after an air strike killed a top al Qaeda leader and a number of other militants in southern Yemen.

Brian Williams 01-26-2015 08:53 PMShame I got my picks in too late. I would have been the lone Jax vote. They gotta win sometime! Colts are definitely better than expected and Luck is special. But it's a divisional road game. Hopefully, it will be more exciting than most of us are anticipating.
I don't give Buffalo much of a chance. This team seems to have developed a losing mentality. But this isn't the New England of old. They can be had. Another divisional matchup. Could we get a November Surprise?
I can't believe I'm this boring, but I don't believe I'm after the dash on any picks this week. What is this world coming to?
I'm not surprised on the Atlanta pick. They're a boatload better than New Orleans. I actually think the 2 most likely upsets from the 9-0 games are Oakland over Baltimore and Buffalo over New England. No real rhyme or reason for either, just a hunch.
I think Seattle is a lock, and Tampa is a near lock, especially with the whole Vincent Jackson vs. his former team dynamic.
7 people (including me) are still stubbornly sticking with Philly this week? Interesting...
Well... they all look decent (of late, especially), but more importantly are all playing really bad teams at home, who are a combined 3-7 over the last four weeks.
Since the Titans' and the Jets' close wins against Pittsburgh and Indianapolis in Week 6, neither has won a game and have both looked dreadful. The only win for any of the three since then was San Diego's victory over Kansas City last week, but gamblers have to remember their meltdown against Denver and their 7-6 loss to the Browns.
I differ on the Houston and the Dallas games.
And I simply can not believe that the Pats are favored by 11. If I was in Vegas, I'd put my house keys down on this one.
The team is only halfway through its schedule and everything about them - from starting QB to Coach to GM screams "lame duck." And they have Haynesworth 2.0 leading the defense. This one smells awful.

Very easy to make a prayer stop here off of La Rambla. A very well maintained Catholic Church with statues of the Birth of Jesus. Glad we stopped!!!
Attended Sunday Mass. Church and parishioners are wonderful. Spent a lot time looking at the art. Would recommend.
A Baroque style Church that is dedicated to the Nativity and Holy Family. Located on Las Ramblas, near Starbucks, Hotel 1898, and Le Meridien, houses beautiful carvings of Creche Scenes and is a favorite of Pilgrims at Christmastime when it is packed. Nice to stop in anytime just to see the side chapels. Mass daily, free.
We wandered in here on a mooch up La Rambla and we were glad we did. It is a beautiful example of a baroque church. What I really liked is that it focuses on the joy of the birth of the saviour rather than death and sin.
The Bethlehem Church is a baroque church in the Rambla, Built by Jesuit between 1680 and 1729. It has most sumptuous interior of all the churches in Barcelona until it was burned in the mid 1930s. The front side facing the Rambla has a padding that extends to the bottom of the main facade, and has two doors, one is... More

165 is a pretty high mash temp. Most are done about 10-17 degrees lower than that. You might have a low ABV beer with a very full body because of the higher mash temp.
185 is hot enough to stop the enzymes from breaking down the starches and sugars. It depends on how long it mashed in the acceptable temp range before you raised it to mash out temps. Also, as mentioned already 165 is way high. You usually want to keep it between 148-158 or so. How was your starting gravity?
Probably low fermentability and a high FG.

Just looked thru the whole thred and still didn't really awnser my question. So, Ill ask, I am still having trouble figuring how much sparge water is needed when I brew. I do 5 gal batches using a Gott cooler w/ false bottom and a sparge arm. Typical grain bills are 8-12 lbs. I normally heat 5 gal to sparge with but stop when im at 6.5-7 gal collected. But some times I feel I oversparge and then the next time feel like not enough. What can I do? Is there any way of figuring.. Ok in this batch I will need exactly 4.3gal to sparge with and when the 4.3 has filtered thu and now is in the pot your done?
I batch sparge, so my gear is a little different and I don't have to worry about Ph or the gravity of the runoff, etc. If you're fly sparging, I believe you just keep sparging until you hit your target pre-boil volume, or until your runoff is around 1.010 SG or so. There are probably hundreds of threads here already discussing this issue, try searching.
I also batch sparge, but from what i have read and done, seems like the best way is to figure out the volume of your first runnings (the amount of hot liquor that you get once you drain off the mash water - leaving enough to still cover your grain bed). Then I assume that i will need to sparge wiht the difference of your total boil volume less the first runnings. That has gotten me close every time, since the grains have absorbed pretty much all the water they will during mashing. This method does not, however, take into account your target pre-boil SG. I guess I have been lucky in that regards, as I am always in the ballpark so-to-speak (which means +/- 5.
I think I my have solved my problem at least for now. Sparge Pal app for the iPhone. Looks like a nice app and will help me get close to the correct amount of sparge water w/o over/under sparging. I'll let you know how it works at next brew date. Due to the snow storm/ work/ x-mas prob after the new year now.
Cheers, Rich
Another all grain rookie mistake leads to discarded batch. I stepped away for just a few toooo many minutes and did not stir the brewpot on the stove while doing an infusion mash. The grains on the bottom got burned and that taste carried over to the beer. Stinks, because it was beautiful, clear, the perfect head, but it had the burnt taste that there was no getting past. Do not make the mistake of heating grains and water at the same time. I did it for months with many batches successfully, but it requires constant stirring. 5 minutes can ruin / burn an entire batch. Add your heated water to the brewpot for mashing. I may just get the igloo cooler back out.
I am confused now. Is it gallons or quarts. THe sticky reads 1-1.25 QUARTS for mash and .5 GALLONS for sparge. Is this correct? Colorado seems to think it is not...

Make a water-cooled resistor to put in the lead going to the winch motor. It will cut the power of the motor by about 50%, and make spooling up the line easier and safer.
Use a bottle with a large top so getting the wire inside isn't such a hassle. Gatorade makes some, IIRC. Be sure the water level is ABOVE the butt splices. Any small wire not covered with water will get hot enough to burn the insulation quickly. You may need a separate wire to deliver full battery voltage to the solenoids, depending on the size of your motor, wiring of the winch, etc. You can also use this for making the winch tame enough for beginners to use without destroying their planes. |

I don't know if many people are interested in winch line reloading safety, roger. This thread hasn't exactly had a high amount of posts.
I am going to try to make an adapter for my cordless drill. I like that idea a lot. Since this isn't exactly string launch season I have a few months to do this. Ryan |

I really don't understand all the fuss about using the winch pedal to roll the line back onto the drum when flying is done.
Wait, maybe I do ... most people have absolutely no idea how to moderate a winch launch by tapping on the pedal, so they probably can't do so to wind the line in, either. FWIW, I think the cordless drill is overly complicated when a little practice tapping is all that's required. But then I think everyone should be able to winch a Gentle Lady in a 20 mph wind without shredding the wing before they are allowed to purchase a moldie ... and that's not a popular position |

When I was building winches, I tried to make the drums as light as possible. A very light drum on a powerful motor would really snatch the line every time the pedal was mashed. I had the winch mounted on the tailgate of my pickup, and the line would often whip under the truck and get caught on the rear axle. That's why I came up with the WinchTamer water-cooled resistor.

I make sure the line is run out straight, and then I put a tire iron over it at least 10 feet from the winch. I don't try to hold the line with anything. Then I hold the switch and sit down to one side of the winch where I can press one shoe against the SIDE of the drum to slow it down at the end. (like a pad in a disc brake). This isn't so hard on the sneakers, and it keeps me mostly away from the line. Best to run most of the line in with one long pull before you start pulsing.
One time when I was home, I wound new line on the winch very slowly by using a 10 amp, 12V battery charger instead of a battery. Not scary at all, but that was a 12V wind winch. You might want to try the 6V setting. If you have a 6V battery, I'll bet it will be much more manageable to use that to wind the line in than the 12V battery! You might have to use a switch instead of the solenoid, because the solenoid might not get enough voltage to operate. Hmm..I should set my winch up so I can do that more easily. I don't think I was there, but I saw the aftermath and heard the story of a fellow club member who was in a hurry and wanted to get rid of a bunch of used winch line. I think everyone must have stood back when he jacked up his car, cut a tire off one of the drive wheels with a BIG knife, and wound the line around the wheel using the car's engine. Turns out that tire was worn out! This was too many years ago. |

I will admit like TK, I was kind of taken aback that this required so much writing, my answer is a good welding glove, or even a towel. When I bring back in line I try to copy what a baitcasting reel does and just keep the line playing out evenly over the drum side to side.

I know what I have been doing isn't the best (aka foot on the ground stepping on the winch line) and it cuts a nice grove into the bottom of the shoe. Now I have some better ideas for next time I am able to take the winch out. Ryan |

@Nicole Perry Now that I clicked on your link I see that they are offering a D'artagnan pig. At least if you go directly to the website you can choose your size. It's a bit spend but so worth it. Especially for a party. It feeds and gives great conversations. =)

@Nicole Perry We ordered ours from www.dartagnan.com They have a few different sizes, so that helps with the price. We ordered a 30 pounder, feeding 35 people. There was plenty left over. Good luck!

No problem @nikkisoda, it all looked so enticing! A quick question, where did you get the pig from? A local butcher? Gilt Taste (http://www.gilttaste.com/products/76578378-d-artagnan-whole-suckling-pig)? I haven't really done my research yet, but was at least considering Gilt Taste as a back up if I couldn't find one locally, my only reservation being that their suckling pig, though undeniably gorgeous, is a bit spendy (about $500 with shipping)...

The Weave or No Weave Debate from a Male perspective
Thursday, August 19, 2010
11 comments:
- kinky_lockzAugust 19, 2010 at 11:58 PM
i loved reading this post. i'm the only gal among boys too and they say the most interesting stuff about hair and everything in between (straight talk, no sugar). for whatever reason, dudes wanna be running their fingers thru our hair and why lie, i like it too :) hand in hair syndrome and a free head massage!!! In my opinion: it's more important to have 'healthy' hair practices than a certain type of style. VARIETY is nice BUT it bugs me when extensions or weaves/wigs are used ONLY as an excuse to be lazy... they should be utilized to avoid over-styling and maintain length. yes, we have chill days (we aren't paid to look good yall and nobody's a video girl 24/7). on the other hand, one should still moisturise and cleanse their hair and scalp especially. as far as weave or no weave: rock the look that matches your swagger and fits your lifestyle and keep it polished whether its wild n free or up in a ponytail. for me though: i can't stand looking 'cookie-cutter', i get bored easily (braid extensions barely stay in), and i don't have money for some indian virgin human hair #1. by the way, is it me or do weaves need a lot of maintenance? hmmm, i think if i did it mine would start to look jacked up quick and i just fear the itchy scalp :/ haha ok essay done. you really got me excited about part 2. blessings x
ReplyDelete The problem is not the weave... its that black women are made to feel inadequate because our hair is really different from other races... I went natural like 4 years ago.. and so far I like it... Its really liberating though I sometimes I miss my super shiny super dark permed nywele
I enjoyed reading this post because most black women say they do it because men like it.. and really they don't so if you are doing the weave... do it for yourself and make sure its descent... or just braid your hair to give it a break (thats what I do)
thanks for posting and ask your poetic friend if he's single :) ha ha@Kinkylockz and Nana thanks a bunch for the comments
As I mentioned in my second post on weaves, weaves can be great protective styles if only you make sure to take care of the hair under the weave and that includes deep conditioning and moisturising.
The issue of women using weaves to be lazy is a sad but true fact and its easy to slap on a weave and forget about your hair but its your hair that will lose.
@Nana...Its so sad when black women are made to feel inadequate because of the beautiful manes that they have...My mission is to make women especially African women appreciate their hair and love it
As for my poetic friend, I shall find out hahahaha- AnonymousJanuary 11, 2011 at 5:18 PM
living in Kenya it was the most natural thing for me to wear weaves, braids, relax my hair and change my hairstyles every 2 wks untill i moved to EU, had to learn how to do my hair on my own and after all the struggles i would get comments like " you have a new hairstyle" instead of "your hair looks great" to a point that made me feel uneasy. Was sick of all the explanations " you know actually this is not my real hair, my real hair is very coarsy and hard to manage and the water here makes it even worse, so i opt for false hair and thats very normal for african women." So i opted for braids, they are easy to maintain, am never scared if my husband wants to run his finger through my braids and they look so African!
But on the other hand i believe that our diverse hairstyles are part of our African culture and maybe we shouldn't abandon them just to fit in. We are creative by nature and we have the right to express it through our hairstyles.
Come to think of it, why does the mankind wear clothes? Who invented them and why? Why is it considerd not normal or illegal to be a nudist? Why don't we just stroll down the steets on our natural birthsuits? Maybe this are the same reasons the African Woman wears her weaves and braids, thats what makes her her. African hair is not the easiest to handle but SHE MAKES THE BEST OF WHAT NATURE GAVE HER. @MsAnony, Thank you for the comment. I totally understand how hard it is to take care of your hair especially in the EU where the seasons can wreak havoc on your hair. Braids are Godsend in such situations.
I totally agree with you about diverse hairstyles being part of our culture, Africans should definitely appreciate this. However Weaves become a problem when ladies wear them because they are unhappy with their hair texture and would much rather look to western ideals of beauty to fit in! I greatly disagree with your argument about walking naked and hair, You cannot possibly compare weaves and clothes. I am not against weaves and this is evident from this post, http://thenaturalgirlsguidetobeauty.blogspot.com/2010/11/fringe-benefits.html
Weaves and Braids do not make the African woman and I think the African woman has a lot more going for her and she is beautiful no matter what kind of hair she has, weaves, cornrows, braids, twist outs, braid out, flat twists and afros.thats a great post!!! we'll keep our weaves,since most of our hairs cant grow that long..i always say if you're going to put one,ask for professional advice,and get an expert to fix it.and finally enjoy yourself,i know i did the first time i put one on,after that,its been great "how do you maintain such long hair" comments from random people...then they find out what it is,and they are impressed...
ReplyDelete- AnonymousMarch 9, 2011 at 10:29 PM
Interesting post! Weaves are not the problem, it's the attitude people have towards them. I see them as an option to change up your style not a permanent replacement for styling or caring for your own mane. If overused, you could end up with traction alopecia, i.e. hair loss coz of all the tension on your strands.
@Ms. Anonymous in the E.U., I agree with you that caring for your own hair in a different country and climate is hard but with time and practice it can be done. There's so much info on the internet now.
@Cynthia, there's a misconception that African hair cannot grow long. I happen to have known girls in high school who had long hair (around bra strap length). Most of them don't have it any more after perming. Of course genetics play a part too. I think we all just need to be more gentle with hair care practices.
S I just came across this post and I have really been on the fence in the whole weave debate. I've had a weave done once for a wedding because I knew my natural hair wouldn't stay put the entire day. I spent a pretty penny but it was done well and it helped my hair rest...anyway i think the point is if its done well then they have their function. then again if a woman feels she needs it to look good then by all means let them. The extremism of questioning a woman's decisions because of how she wears her hair is unfair to be honest. otherwise this argument may as well be extended to corsettes and padded bras. we all have an aspect we augment/downplay/misrepresent. I think, if its done well...viva la weave.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousSeptember 15, 2011 at 9:26 PM
I genetically have good hair; grows really long, is soft, thick, lots n lots and when wet curls nicely......hmmmm now let talk about managing this blessing. It tangles easily, when i sleep its a pure mess, when washed takes half the day to dry, n as it dries thru out the day,the bushier it becomes......now tell me why i would not want to keep this locked up, tied up n far way from my precious sleep time. i would have to lose 2hrs of sleep to dedicate it to my hair...every blessed morning. I am not hair, am not my skin, i am the sol that lvs within. So look beyond the choices i make n really look at me.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJune 25, 2014 at 11:37 AM
Really now, I personally think that most Kenyan ladies are misguided by their salonists who prtend to know whats the newest weave in town. Some end up looking like they "wore the weave backwards," oops! my bad. Weaves, I mean good weaves really don't end up on the kawaida lady's budget as u say but i believe if you gotta wear one, atleast wear something that does'nt make you look odd- something that goes with your skin color and the shape of your head. I too have had my good share of male counterparts who believe in women rocking their natural hair but at the end of the day it boils down to the point where our Kenyan women ain't really that ready to lose their weaves so we gotta deal with it somehow.

2. Documented Attacks On Enterprise Devices
Juniper said its mobile researchers found evidence of at least one infection on 3.1 percent of enterprise mobile devices running Junos Pulse, the company's corporate mobile security suite.
Most of the infections are risky mobile apps labeled as spyware. The company said the infection raises the alarm about the potential for cybercriminals to target corporate data through a mobile device attack.

a1 Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey
An old question of P. A. Smith asks: If a finite group G acts smoothly on a closed homotopy sphere Σ with fixed set ΣG consisting of two points p and q, are the tangential representations Tp Σ and Tq Σ of G at p and q equal? Put another way: Describe the representations (V, W) of G which occur as (Tp ΣTq Σ) for Σ a sphere with smooth action of G and ΣG = p q. Under these conditions we say V and W are Smith equivalent (21) and write V ~ W. A stronger equivalence relation is also interesting. We say representations V and W are s-Smith equivalent if (V, W) = (Tp Σ, Tq Σ) and Σ is a semi-linear G sphere (23), i.e. ΣK is a homotopy sphere for all K and ΣG = p q. In this case we write V ≈ W.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This magnet is exactly what we wanted and hoped to get. You get a high quality product for reasonable price. Customer service was prompt and helpful when I had questions. The order came in faster than the estimated delivery date. We are thrilled!"
"My native language is not English so I wanted to translate the months into Danish and all i had to do is send a request and the day after they've already changed it. The design is easy and fast to personalize and the Price was great! My fiancé is studying to be a homepainter and I am with low income but still we wanted quality save the dates, invitations etc. I am very happy that i found WPD :-)"
"I loved this product. The colors were accurately represented and the quality of the post cards were wonderful! My favorite part of this experience was receiving a hand written thank you note for my purchase=)"
"I searched long and hard for the perfect wedding save the date (to match my overall vision, of course!) and I hit jackpot when I found this one. We inserted one of our engagement photos (a pic of us outdoors at a city park- and our wedding will be outside at a garden on a golf course). This calendar style template is appealing to the eye, easy to read, and it comes as a post card! The quality of the paper and printing is better than I hoped for- very thick, not shiny, easy to read, and my writing did not smear when I wrote on it. I would suggest bringing the text down, on the back side, low enough to fit a return address sticker, as the cards are not huge. I am very happy with my order, and will be ordering the rest of my wedding stationary soon!"
"Communication is excellent with this company. They changed the text to purple and fixed a web address link for me without any problem. Shipped faster than expected.The card itself is super cute. Looks exactly how it does online."

INDIANAPOLIS - DECEMBER 06: Kenny Britt #18 of the Tennessee Titans runs with the ball during the NFL game against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on December 6, 2009 in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)
Tennesee Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt and Vikings RB Adrian Peterson both came back this season following devestating knee injuries. That's where the comparison ends. Peterson's comeback is the stuff of legend. He ran like he never ran before, much to everyone's amazement, and almost grabbed the single-season rushing record in the process. Shy just nine yards. On the other hand, Kenny Britt came back and just concluded what he called his worst season of his career.

Lipault Paris Reviews
Reviewer: from Woodbury, MN
Overall: Comfort: Style:
The bottom of the bag-between the wheels-bowed after 1 trip. It was quite full, but not the point that bowing should have occurred. Never would have happened with Briggs & Riley. Design is perfect but unable to withstand weight. I love this brand's lightweight, but build wheels to be more sturdy.
Reviewer: from Tucson, AZ
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I absolutely love my Lipault 20" luggage. It is so light and yet one can pack a lot in it. Every time we go out of town for 2-3 weeks, as I am laying out all the clothes I will bring, my husband asks:"Are you going to pack all of these clothes in this little suitcase?" My standard reply is: "Yes, it is bottomless. Watch me!" And amazingly, everything fits in the suitcase. About 3 weeks ago, my husband took my suitcase and did a mock-packing to see if he could fit everything he wanted to bring on a trip and sure enough, he was able to fit it all. Right away, he ordered the same suitcase and can hardly wait to go on a trip to try it out.
Reviewer: Jamison Crosby from Napa, CA
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I bought this bag for my mom for Christmas and she loved it. I wish I had gotten one for myself too. What we both liked is the serious roominess without heaviness or bulkiness.
Reviewer: Miss Madeleine from Portlandia, baby
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I already have this in purple & wanted a more neutral & subdued color. The photos make it appear narrower than it is so I was concerned it wasn't the same purse but it is. It is light-weight and the strap is very solid. My only complaint is there is no inside zip pocket for lipstick, etc, but it is roomy enough for a Kindle & that's more important. An aside: Zappos mistakenly sent an entirely different purse which I am returning. I called & explained the mix-up & received the correct item within 36 hours. And that, my friends, is superior customer service!
Reviewer: MML from Wisconsin
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Great bag. It is exactly as shown in the video and photo's. I got the purple and the color is even better than on the screen, it is a very deep rich purple. The weight is nice and light, yet the bag is made of quality fabric and has an expensive feel and look. I like the multiple compartments and the zippers are very nice. The reason I could not give it 5 stars was that I wish the strap was less stiff or that it was removable.
The color was perfect.. it just lacked pockets within the bag. It only has 1 cell phone pocket which was too small and no zipper within for small items. Too bad the lack of those caused me to return it.
Reviewer: Catherine Killion from
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I love this bag! As a former flight attendant I have used many carry on bags and this is the best ever! I can fit an amazing amount of stuff in it and I have dragged it on planes, trains, automobiles, metros, buses and all through Europe. I refuse to check bags so this plus the 19 inch weekender will take me for a month long trip. I use the smaller 15 inch weekender with this rollerbag for shorter trips. I have the black and it still looks great. Also it weighs about an ounce and is pretty darn sturdy.
Reviewer: Jess from Issaquah, Washington
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I bought this bag in fuchsia, (which is no longer available here, but is deeply discounted on the Lipault site) and it is a lovely color -- deep an rich instead of bright. The bag is well made (lightly padded, nice zippers and pulls, thick nylon, well sewn and finished) looks expensive and streamlined, if not overly stylish. It is, however, small. I have no idea why they call this bag large, because it ain't. I didn't have time to find another before traveling, so I crammed it to bursting and off I went. Had my trip been more than a couple of days, I would have had to find something else -- too frustrating. I did end up using this as an everyday bag for the summer though, and it still looks and works great. I am a small wallet, comb, and a couple of lipsticks kind of gal, so it works really well. I can cram my iPad in if I don't zip. If this bag was just a couple of inches bigger, it would be perfect for travel/everyday casual use.
I needed a higher quality carry-on bag for traveling, and this one is perfect. It's nice size without being too large. The outside pockets provided easy access to the items I need to have at my finger tips.
Reviewer: from New York
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I wanted a light, easy to maneuvre, and easy to spot travel suitcase. I haven't used it yet but the suitcase is very easy to store and I love the color - bright but not garish! I even bought a fuschia tote to go with it.
Wheels do not work properly when suitcase is full. Maneuvering is extremely difficult. Would not have bought it but have used it and will not be able to return.
Reviewer: pam b from san diego, CA
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I bought this bag because I needed a new carry-on and was going away for two days with the girls. This bag is absolutely fabulous! I fit enough clothes for three days and a bathing suit and cover up. I also was able to fit a pair of 3" heels and a pair of gladiators. It all fit and it fit under the seat in front of me. I was even able to slide a small tote in next to it under the seat. I cannot wait to go on my next trip!
Beautifully made bag. looks like it cost much more then the actual cost. I have many of these bags and all the colors are great. They have a size for every need. You do not see them around every where. I get a ton of compliments and people asking where to get the bags. Zappos has all sizes and colors!
Reviewer: Gina from Reno, Nv
Overall: Comfort: Style:
This is a wonderful suitcase. I had borrowed my husbands a couple of times, but since we're both traveling to Italy at the same time I knew I needed my own. I highly recommend this suitcase. It's very well made and i think will last for years.
Reviewer: Susan from Virginia
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Great piece except for the zipper closing...it's a struggle to line it up so the zipper will close...have had to spend time messing around with it every time I've had to close it up...not good design!
Liked the lightness of the luggage, however I wanted larger packing space and it was not expandable. Otherwise, it is a good product.
Reviewer: Karen Greenhouse from Los Angeles
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I was going on a 4 day trip, and I didn't want to deal with my usual heavy carry-on luggage. A friend told me about this brand that it would be the lightest carry-on I've ever had. So I bought it. Indeed it was GREAT. It has room to pack so much, it was the lightest bag I've ever carried on, it wheeled in all directions, and it was the first time I could lift a carry on piece of luggage up high into the bins above my seat with no trouble. Love love this bag.
Reviewer: Dawne Trent from Greenbrier, AR
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Very nice color. Wheels turn well, and light. Easy to pack, lots of room, very pleased!
Reviewer: Cynthia Loy Darst from Los Angeles
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I LOVE MY NEW BAG! I have literally been looking for a few years now for the right travel bag because I was looking for just the right combo of elements, and spotted a Lipault store as I was walking down the street in Paris. First, it's elegant - for an adult. Then, it has three pockets, one for smaller stuff, one for your iPad, papers and magazines, and one more for larger stuff. I often slip my purse into it before I board a flight. It's perfect for going under the seat in front of you on the plane. Easy both to carry and to pull.
Reviewer: gale messerman from United States
Overall: Comfort: Style:
This small case is light weight and very efficient as a carry on bag. I just used it on a three week trip to France. It fits in overhead bins in larger planes and really holds a lot of "stuff". I especially like the four wheel spinner. And, of course, Zappos gives the best and most reliable service on the planet.
Reviewer: Melissa Malacaria from Portland, ME
Overall: Comfort: Style:
This daypack is the best! I have used it in all types of weather (rain, snow, sleet, etc.) for transporting my laptop to and from work and it still looks practically brand new. The style is simple and modern with a European feel and the color is vibrant. I highly recommend this daypack; it's awesome!

A few days ago, I linked to Jim C. Hines' cover pose challenge to raise money for the Aicardi Syndrome Foundation. Jim's willingess to shave his legs, steal his wife's and his mom's shoes, and pose in intricate fashion has raised over $6000 to date.
And his challenge to John Scalzi has been answered.
There are more cover poses to come – including a Johanna Lindsey cover – but for now, I say the advantage is to Mr. Hines, who shaved one leg for his commitment to art.
Well played, Mr. Hines. Well played.
A round-up of winter romance recommendations that I wrote is included in today's Washington Post Book World section. Because this was for the print and digital editions, I had to do a lot of editing it to make it shorter – and the final version is shorter still. Oh, column inches! On the internet, we don't need no stinkin' inches! Heh. Either way, thanks to Ron "Laters, Baby" Charles for including romance in the books section!
I know many of you like to read series in order, so here are three of the books in Johanna Lindsey's Wyoming series on sale now, including two of my very favorite euphemism titles.
Brave the Wild Wind (Wyoming Series #1) is $1.99 digitally. It is also my second-favorite fart-euphemism title.
As wild as the Wyoming frontier and a terror when spurned, Jessie Blair is furious when she over hears Chase Summers refusing her hand — and vows to seduce the handsome drifter out of spite.
Enraged by Jessie's arrogance yet haunted by her beauty, Chase is irresistible drawn to the headstrong miss — and into her troubles with the land-hungry villains who murdered her father. For his pride insists he tame the fiery temptress who toys with his emotions. And his passion won't be sated until the sensuous young hellion becomes a woman in his arms.

Savage Thunder is #2 in the Wyoming series, and my very favorite fart-euphemism romance title.
Newly widowed after a shockingly brief marriage to an elderly British lord, Jocelyn Fleming still aches with the pain of unexplored desire. And now her restless heart is leading her far from the protective bosom of polite London society to the perilous beauty of the American West . . .and to Colt Thunder.
Breathlessly exciting but dangerously unpredictable, Colt is a loner whose Cheyenne blood burns hotter than the blistering Arizona sun. Jocelyn's wealth and title mean nothing to this strange whose passion rules his actions and his heart. But neither the wild desert stallion nor the untouched English rose can deny their irresistible attraction. . .or prevent the firestorm of emotion that erupts when their vastly different worlds collide.

Angel is book #3 in the Wyoming series, and is unfortunately not a very euphemistic title.
Hoping to cool off a twenty-five-year-old feud between two neighboring families, Cassie Stuart only succeeds in pouring kerosene on the flames. Both sides have warned her to get out of Texas pronto. . .or they will burn her father's ranch to the ground. What Cassie needs is a peacemaker but she ends up with a widow-maker instead.
He is called Angel , a ruggedly handsome hired gun with eyes as black as sin. Unwanted and unwelcomed by his ungrateful employer, he would just as soon leave Cassie to fend for herself. But a stubborn sense of duty , and a desire to taste the sweetness of her kiss steels Angel's resolve to make Cassie want him, come hell or high water. . .and for more than his gun alone.

Storms moving into region make Storm Shield app a life-saver
The National Weather Service is issuing warnings about severe thunderstorms in the East Tenessee area Wednesday afternoon and evening. that could have hail and damanaging winds.
That makes now an excellent time to get our Storm Shield Weather Radio App because it has pinpoint alerts based on where you are or areas you want to track.
Storm Shield app's storm-based polygon warnings are extremely accurate. Storm-based alerts help reduce false alarms by alerting you to severe weather based on your exact location within a county. Most other apps and sources still use county-based alerts (meaning you'd get an alert even if your location in the county is not within the threatened area).
For a primer on how Storm Shield alerts work, check out this page (it comes from inside the app itself; see the "How Alerts Work" menu item): http://www.stormshieldapp.com/mobile/
