I last used this about 5 years ago when I first tried Indian hair care products. If I remember correctly it worked ok as a pre-wash oil and as an after wash oil. I may go back and try it again but there was a sour smell to it if I remember correctly.
The main reason I wanted to write this review is to clear up a misconception about one of the ingredients.
T-butyl-hydroquinone(short for tertiary butyl-hydroquinone or TBHQ for short) is an aromatic organic compound which is a type of phenol. It's used as a highly effective preservative for unsaturated vegetable oils and many edible animal fats. Yes, it is derived from hydroquinone but is not used to bleach skin and doesn't change skin color(the same way most bar soaps are derived from beef tallow but aren't edible like beef). I'm not saying that TBHQ is good for you. Like most preservatives, it isn't. But it's not skin or hair bleach in this formulation. The lemon juice can lighten your skin and/or hair. So if you have any lightening, it's from that.
No need to stop using it out of concern for the TBHQ bleaching your skin or hair. It's just a preservative.
P.S. I've found that most forms of Indian hair care work better with each other than mixed with Western hair care. I've never had a problem with dryness or leftover oil when I was using Hesh Shikakai after oiling. However, I experience both dryness and oiliness when I try to shampoo oils out with typical shampoos. If you can get a hold of the herbal powders along with the oils, then you should give them a try. They may not work for everyone, but when they do work they're like magic!!!

This is the Holy Grail of hair products. I always suspected Indian women's beautiful hair was not genetically given. There is a trick, a cheap trick, and it's called Vatika hair oil. After 2 applications, the 1st I washed out after a few hours. The second treatment I left on overnight. My hair is fabulous. Full, shiny, bouncy, beautiful, and all for $4.99. I can't say enough good about the product. How much money I have spent for products which didn't work half as well. I would give it 500 lippies if i could.

I've used this hair oil ever since it came out, which is over 10 years now, but I stopped using it a few months ago, just because I wanted to try something else. I think that's the best way to find out if something actually works. It's no better than regular coconut oil at making hair softer, but when I stopped using Vatika, my SD got out of control and I suddenly realised my hair was thinning. I started using it again recently, and already my scalp feels and looks better.It helps my hair be less frizzy too. The directions suggest leaving it on overnight, but I don't think that's a good idea, because you can catch cold, especially in winter. Research says coconut oil in general is almost completely absorbed in 2 hours, and I usually leave it on for 2 to 4 hours. It smells of herbs (no added perfume) and can be a little hard to get out of your hair if you don't work shampoo into your hair properly. I don't want to stop using this again. A lot of younger Indian women don't think it's cool to use hair oil, but I've discovered the hard way that hair is much better off with it, and this one is the best mass-market one available.

i use this and parachute. yep im an indian girl through and through, but this never fails when i want that deep oil scalp massage. living in the uk the dry cold weather really ravages your hair. this really soothes and relaxes me, but i always wash it out after a particular time. not something to wear in your hair normally. it really is a great herbal conditioner, i will continue to use. the smell doesnt bother me but would bother most, but hey you get gleaming lustrous hair as the end product, so whiffs here i come lol
EDIT: i feel like im being a b*tch to my hg product, but it was only when i came to the end of my product during usage i wondered what, t butyl hydroquinone is, and hek no it is a bleach type ingredient used to lighten the skin tone, and is in large quantities carcinogenic!!!! no wonder after goin through a whole bottle my hair was 2 shades lighter! and i must say i think it is this that made the two white hairs sprout at the back of my head!!! im very cautious about ingredients like this coming near me.
this is what the product meant when it said prevents oxidisation of the hair, i.e ill lighten your lovely mane with my bleaching properties. i dont bleach my skin tone im happy with my tanned features, why the hek would i lighten my hair with that ingredient.
sorry vatika but for this u lose lippies!!

I have been using Dabur Vatika oil on my hair and scalp for over three years, during which time I stopped using it for about four months. After about one month of not using this oil, my hair definitely looked and felt different, and not in a good way. While using the oil, my hair was glossy, lustrous, less frizzy and my scalp was calm, as in no itch, no flake, and shedding of hair was normal. After about a month when I stopped using Vatika oil, itchy and flaky scalp returned, as well as lots of shedding. My hair didn't look as glossy, and frizzes became a daily issue no matter the weather. I went back to Vatika oil and once again my scalp is healthy and my hair has a sheen and shine to it that is not the result of oiliness or added styling products.
I use Vatika oil in small amounts on the scalp and hair. I massage my scalp, then cover my hair with a couple silk scarves. I also lay a towel over my pillow when I use overnight. The next day I shampoo it out (I do this every three days or so). I either shampoo with hair conditioners (conditioner washing, or "co-washing") or I use a shikakai hair shampoo bar. I also use amla and brahmi herb powder paste to shampoo the oil away.
I absolutely love what Vatika oil does for my hair and scalp.

I initially started using this product to add shine to my hair and it has accomplished that 100 fold. My hair is both silky and shiny without being flat or limp (and I have very fine hair). I love the shine and health it has given my hair.
What I didn't expect was to see so much growth! My hair has been growing like a weed ever since I started using this 2-3 times a week. Additionally, I have visible new growth along my hairline. I didn't think I was losing much hair, but I can actually see where it's filling in what must have been bare areas along my hairline.
It is easy to use, natural and WORKS. I cannot recommend this enough!

Now, on with my hair oils. After trying Dabur's Jasmine Hair Oil and finding it good enough, I bought a bottle of Dabur Vatika Hair Oil. Simply because it contains far better ingredients. It's based on coconut oil and is enriched with a mass of herbs and other delish stuff (see below). I mainly got it because it includes Brahmi, a herb that I find to be exceptionally good on my scalp which is hyper sensitive.
The oil smells slightly lemony fresh but still distinctly like coconut oil. It has a yellow-ish tint and feels soft and almost creamy to the touch. Very different from other oils. It's best to keep that in mind when using it as a leave in on damp hair because a very small amount is enough. Since coconut oil is usually solid when cold, you have to warm the bottle in hot water for some minutes. The opening is small enough to allow careful dosing. It goes on smooth and really easy. It doesn't take long at all to work it into scalp and lengths. For best results it's supposed to be kept on for an entire night, though I haven't done that yet. I usually only keep it in my hair for an hour or two and then wash it out. Another great thing about this oil is that it comes off easily and with only washing twice. Usually I would need to wash my hair three or even four times to get all of the oil out. It leaves the hair shiny and smooth, perfectly nourished and slightly fragrant. Perfect. I also use it as a leave in for my ends and they will look incredible when dry! The hair slightly curls and forms lovely, defined strands. Adorable!
I know a lot of people who say Vatika is the best hair oil there is and so far I'm willing to believe it. It does wonders for scalp and hair, has an adorable smell and fantastic ingredients. The only negative thing I could find: The bottle isn't see-through so you will never know when it comes to an end. That's kind of a bummer, really. However, since it's solid plastic, it's also good for putting into hot water over and over again. Anyway, will certainly buy again!
Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Neem, Brahmi, Extracts of Amla, Bahera and Harar, Kapur Kachri, Henna, Milk, Rosemary Oil, Lemon Oil, TBHQ, Fragrance.

I had to chuckle at the comment by an MUA reviewer who thinks most Indian women rely on using budget hair oil as the secret to beautiful hair - by and large, our hair tends to start off naturally shiny and healthy anyway, so I'm afraid it IS largely down to genetics. Having said that, we too can have our share of hair woes later in life (a common one being thinning, which I'm currently experiencing myself). There are several varieties of this hair oil that you can use to enhance/rescue your locks if money is tight or you don't have time or the knowledge to blend your own. I am not a snob when it comes to such things, I have my own array of blended drugstore-bought hair oils, mainly for my teen daughter's use, although I will always forego mineral oil in favour of coconut oil (which, incidentally is always solid unless it is fractionated - just pop in the microwave for 20 seconds to make it easier to squeeze out). On the whole, this oil is very good for the price, hence it gets four lippies from me.

Love,love, love this product.
I bought a bottle of Dabur Vatika Hair oil on a whim when the local Indian grocery first opened up about two months ago. I have very long straight hair with a very fine texture, so I am always looking for ways to increase the moisture content, and strengthen the strands of my fine fragile hair. I use this oil as a pre wash hot oil treatment about two to three times a week before I shampoo. I heat a cup of water in the microwave for about a minute or so, put the bottle in it for about three minutes to liquefy. I then apply the oil heavily to my scalp, and to the first few inches of hair. I then clip it up out of the way, cover with a shower cap, and leave on anywhere from a half hour to overnight, washing it out with shampoo, and following with conditioner. This product has done wonders for my hair- my flaky scalp and dandruff has lessened, due to the lemon and neem, it is shinier, due to the henna, and the amla extract seem to have strengthened the roots of my hair. I used to have horrible shedding in the shower, which is down to a fraction of what it was two months ago. The reason why I gave this oil a four star rating was because of the weird smell, which I think is due to the neem and amla. It kinda smells like lemons and coconuts, but not really, and the longer you leave it on your hair, the worse it gets. This product also contains milk (and soy extracts in the reformulated oil, which I have not tried) so if your hair reacts badly to products containing too much protein you might want to skip it.
Sadly, my family did not like the icky smell that was rancid coconut oil plus Indian herbs, and my mother went through my hair care drawers and tossed all of my stash. :-(

For those that are concerned that this oil is a solid in cooler temperatures, that is because this is in a natural coconut oil base. Coconut oil is a solid until it reaches about 75 F and thus all you need to do is submerge it in hot water for about a minute and it will become a liquid. When I am preparing my hot oil treatment, I just plug up my sink and run hot water over the bottle, let it float in the hot water for about a minute, then it is ready to go. I do not work straight out of the bottle. I pour it in a small dish so that I don't get the bottle oily. I have had GREAT results with this oil. I have used it both overnight and for as short as one hour. The last 2 times I have mixed it 50:50 with castor oil. Then I massage it into my scalp in sections and lastly apply it to the length, then comb through with a plastic comb. I then put my hair up and clean up my sink (LOL). You may notice a little hair fall but this is just the natural amount you have normally, but you will see it when you oil/comb it out. I have plastic hair caps that I got from Amazon and I will wear one while my hair sits with the oil. I will wash twice, very thoroughly to get the oil out (once was not enough for me). I can skip conditioner after using this wonderful treatment. I also took a little oil while it was liquified and put it in a small container (an old eye cream jar) and then refrigerated it so it got hard again and now I keep this around for doing a very light oiling on dry hair - I use about the equivalent of 3 drops and warm it up in my hands and then lightly run my hands through my hair and then comb through. My hair looks incredible. I haven't noticed any color change, but I have dark hair and already use henna, so that could be why. If you're worried about color change then you can use plain coconut oil or a blend of coconut oil and your other favorite oils. I highly recommend checking this stuff out! Ayurvedic products have done amazing things for my hair. **Just a warning, most of the other Dabur brand oils contain mineral oil, so if you want to avoid that, just be sure and read the packaging. This one does not contain any mineral oil or silicones which is one reason I love it so much.

That gameplay snippet hints at some interesting changes to the game.
It's rare that a developer makes changes without first announcing them—even rarer for it to claim they were accidental.
The famed developer just opened up the real possibility of another company taking control of their most popular intellectual properties.
The news won't make a lot of hardcore fans very happy.
Called the Capcom pro tour, it will feature 11 events around the world.

Remember, Word Game threads are not allowed on this forum, please go to the Word Game subforum to play those. This one is an exception because the majority of the AT population requested it. If you see one, please report it to a Moderator so it can be moved.
This is the new "Avatar Above You" thread, which will work basically the same as the old ones, slightly more complex. This was made to reduce clutter of the Avatar Talk forum and be more effecient, but rest assured that this will be just as good as [if not better than] the old collection of topics. I'd also like to give credit to Audhumla for helping create this sticky, and everyone else who pitched in some advice.
Please do not create any topics that fit the description of this thread, as they will be removed, and keep all posts on topic. Have fun!
From the list below, choose what you would like to know about your avatar. You then read the post from the person above you and respond to their requests, posting your choices from the list at the bottom of your post. For example:
Person 1
I want you to say where I would most likely be found, and my age
Person 2
You would be found in detention, etching profanities into the desk, you are 17. I want a rating out of 10 with a short explanation, and a 3-word or less description
Person 3
7/10. Unoriginal, but it still looks good.
I would like... [etc]
I would like... [etc]
To get your minds ready for some possibilities, here is a small list of things you may want to request, but feel free to include something that is not on the list. Just make sure it relates to the avatar, nothing like "Say something random to me" unless you have also requested an avatar rating of sorts.
The List:
Regular avatar rating
Favorite item
Least favorite item
Theme song
Found in what video game
Found in what movie
Three words or less
Use an Emote
How -- will die
Most likely found... [where]

And there are so many more possibilities!
So... let's begin!

(TEHRAN, Iran) -- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani promised things would be different during his regime but no one could have expected the tweet he allegedly sent Wednesday. Given that Iran's leadership won't even refer to Israel by its name, the tweet from Rouhani's English-language Twitter account wishing Jews "a blessed Rosh Hashanah" is unprecedented.
The full message reads: "As the sun is about to set here in #Tehran I wish all Jews, especially Iranian Jews, a blessed Rosh Hashanah." Rouhani's account also posted a photo showing someone worshiping at a Tehran synagogue. There are an estimated 25,000 Jews living in Iran.
There has been no formal acknowledgement from Rouhani's office confirming that the tweet came from the president and in fact, a spokesperson went as a far to deny that he even has an account. Yet, the spokesperson did not dispute that the Rosh Hashanah greeting might represent Rouhani's views.

Apply the principles of feng shui to an old militia arms depository, add splashes of stunning art, and you get a charming bed-and-breakfast on a San Pedro backstreet. Owner Florencia Urbina, one of the country's foremost contemporary artists, belongs to a local art consortium called Bocaracá, whose motto is "Art in Society." She takes that maxim seriously: the group's lush tropical paintings adorn the lobby, breakfast salon, small bar, and common areas. Your room will
be decorated with lovely hand-painted tiles and classic Tico furniture, and you pass through a Zen meditation garden each time you enter and exit the building. The Milvia is a great value, and makes for a charming, artsy retreat. Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon are a couple of celebrities who've stayed here.

This is another case where I fell in love with the packaging more so than the fragrance itself. I love the creamy pink bottle and opened up my wallet on first sight, even though the fragrance is totally different from what I usually wear. I'm typically much more of a vanilla/almond foody-type scents person. This, however, is quite nice. It's more sophisticated, something I imagine my mother might wear. Which is appropriate, considering that I'm now close to my mother's age at the time when I was a child smelling her perfume bottles. This is very floral, very feminine. Has a bit of a cloying, musty quality on first blast, but settles down after awhile. Lasting power is OK, not great. UPDATED to add that I am now completely addicted to this. Maybe it's just that it disappears on me so quickly, but for some reason I feel compelled to keep spritzing... and spritzing... haven't worn anything else for months now. UPDATED again - upped it a lippie as I realized this is the only fragrance I've worn for over a year, and I still love it.
Accidently bought the EDP at sephora yesterday. Black bottle black box right? WRONG! Black bottle PINK box is the EDP! OOPS! The EDP remindes me too much of Clinique Happy. Lasting power is great, however, the scent is not the same as the EDT. The EDP will go back to sephora as an exchange for the much softer and sweeter EDT the BF picked out! Now I'll finally have a scent he LOVES!
Sampled NR EDP today. It went on very floral. I was expecting more musk, but just got a lot of floral. It was clean, but the amount that was sprayed on me made it offensive. It dried down to sanitary napkins on me.
The packaging is ok. Long lasting.
Would not purchase.
I love the design of NR for her, especially the pink bottle. The fragrance is nice, musky and floral, but too floral for me. I think that the EdT version of NR for her has more edge and is deeper than the EdP version, that's why I prefer the EdT. Both versions are indeed somewhat unique but will never manage to range amongst my top ten fragrances.
Rip open box from Sephora...
Find perfume sample...
Breath in...
Scrub wrists off with soap and water.
Those who have said this scent is reminiscent of Grandma's perume are SPOT ON.
This is just dreadful to me. Sweet, heavy and musky. No thanks.
Went through a bottle of this in one month. Yes, I absolutely loved it. It's not a dramatically different scent to the EDT in the black bottle, but it just flirtier and more innocent because of the floral notes. The drydown is pretty much similar to the EDT. I love this as a comfort scent, and it's also incredibly sexy. I wear it for work, sleep and everything else in between. Staying power and sillage is pretty much the same as the EDT. Love in a bottle.
i prefer the EDT over the EDP... EDT smells more attractive, more personality... EDP has something missing... that made it a little over musky for me, actually reminds me of ginger... but after reading the reviews in here, i am going to give this another try coz it is the first initial spritz that i dont like... most love the drydown of it... hmmm
I actually just tried this fragrance at Nordy's today and have mixed feelings about it. It smells very sophisticated in an older woman type of way. I like the dry down a whole lot more than when first sprayed. The scent of it kept nawing at me and I couldn't figure out why it smelled so familiar and then it hit me! It smells like Kiehls Original Musk! Although I am 37 this fragrance is still too old for me. I'm just not sure I could stand to wear it everyday. I don't hate it but I don't like it either. I also think it smells a bit masculine.
UPDATE: I think I've been sold! I changed my mind I do like it after all. I got two very generous samples of the EDP and a small sample of the Musc Oil. I've been wearing it for a couple of days now. Well, when my husband got close he said mmmm...that smells good. So let's just say he REALLY liked it A LOT tee hee. The only thing that is keeping me from getting it is the very hefty price tag. Oh...wait a minute my b-day is coming up...I know what I'll be getting :)
A lot of perfumistas actually seem to prefer the EDT version of NR For Her, because the EDT dries down to a more angular musk--making for a more interesting fragrance journey. But my favorite part of this scent is actually the topnotes--that sultry blend of rose and honey, just barely graced by the darkness so beloved in the EDT concentration--and I find that this version holds onto that sweet lushness for longer. The bottle for this one is blush pink, which I find appropriate for the scent. For while it is certainly sexy and thick, it is also quite proper. Somewhere, I read a review that described NR for Her as "the girl everyone only thinks is innocent," and that just about sums it up perfectly. There's a heart of darkness in this pink chypre.
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I purchased the new Narciso Rodriguez For Her Body Defining Lotion and got a sample of the EDT and fell in love with both. Just ordered the EDT full size. Very sensual fragrance-blends with my chemistry. DH loves it and not too overpowering either. Will def purchase again.
PS the lotion does firm very well and smells great also.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

11:17 a.m. ABC's Matthew Jaffe writes in that once you subtract the media and the Rick Perry crew there might be 10 people @ this Values Voter event in Des Moines. And that's probably high. Here's Tim Pawlenty's RV arriving. Note the Escalade with the "T Paw" license plate. 11:40 a.m. Phone call comes into ABC News Washington, D.C., from Des Moines and a lost Michael Falcone, navigating Michele Bachmann's trail. On the radio he hears a "write in Rick Perry" at the straw poll radio ad sponsored by GrowPAC.
View Larger Map 1:18 p.m. ABC's Matthew Jaffe reports that the Values Voter event attracted more staffers from Rick Perry's PAC than actual voters. Earlier today, Jaffe ran into one voter who was not too happy with Michele Bachmann. ABC's Matthew Jaffe spies the Perry supporters in Des Moines. The girls are wearing UT burnt orange even though Perry is a die-hard former cheerleader for Texas A&M. 12:25 p.m. In searching for a copy of the infamous Michele Bachmann Newsweek, ABC was told that no one – not the WalMart SuperCenter in Storm Lake, not Pocahontas Pharmacy and Christian bookstore and certainly not the Kum & Go gas station in Rockwell City – sold the magazine or knew of anywhere on Michael's route that might. 1:55 p.m. — Back on the Hill - school's out! And Congress, too. Diane from Boynton Beach, Fla., let her senator, Marco Rubio, R-Fla., know she was not happy about members of the legislative branch taking time off, and he responded in a video blog. 2:39 p.m. Michele Bachmann arrives in Arnolds Park, Iowa, where earlier our reporter caught the smell of funnel cake in the air.
3:15 p.m. Matthew Jaffe reports that Pawlenty released a new online ad targeting the White House. 5:06 p.m. The Michele Bachmann campaign responds to Michael Falcone on the controversial Newsweek cover. They're staying focused "what's important". Read it here. 5:12 p.m. With all eyes on Iowa this week, Team Huntsman is focusing all attention on Florida, releasing a press release today about "a major announcement" in Coconut Grove on Wednesday. But what could it be? Rumors swirled around a possible endorsement. Most of the speculation landing on Jeb Bush, Jr., the son of Florida's ever-popular former Governor Jeb Bush, Sr., and nephew to President George W Bush. Read more here. 5:50 p.m. Bachmann is now in Humboldt, Iowa and ABC's Michael Falcone has handed off the baton to Matt Jaffe.

HOT TO TOUCH EPISODE LEAKED!!!!!!!! FLAME PRINCESShttp://mastertoons.com/Hot-to-the-Touch.phpits the episode continuing on from the season finale!!!!!! ENJOY
Bought my first Porno (I am now a MAN)Warning! If you are under the age of 18 I recommend you turn away from this page right now, in fact why not take the time to check out other great artists like Hehalana, Nabari, QueenAlana, Rishumisu, TheAmazingWrabbit or go have a sandwich? We cool? Good good, now its time to get naughty! This could be the most adult themed journal entry I have ever written. This is a story about my epic journey into the deepest evil lair of the adult kingdom, this is a tale of seduction and temptation, this is a story of my first ever purchase of adult videos!Let's begin the story with a little background info, I am currently in the mysterious land of Hong Kong. I am leaving back to good old Australia Sydney at the beginning of january 2012. I consider myself a stranger in Hong Kong, I can't read or write chinese but I can speak it fluently, in fact a little bit too fluent that when I try to explain to the police that I am not from around, they don't believe me (I will write about my police incident
ry-SPIRIT DAYIn bringing awareness of Spirit Day (Which is now called Ry-Spirit Day due to my creative and narcissistic input), I have decided to write about when I was little and when I was bullied. I know what ya thinking, how can a girl magnet cool looking guy like me get bullied? Truth is... I was never popular and yes I used to get bullied. Thats a picture of me when I was punched by two boys. Im sure bullying happens to EVERYONE, whether you are a jock, emo, geek, gay, straight, tall, short or any other school stereotype you are ALWAYS not safe from bullying. For me personally, I was a polite kid who tries to be nice to everyone, but my kindness has sometimes gone punished, for example in primary school my school friends decided to take advantage of my purity and ignorance and shyness and bully me, mostly to make themselves feel better and for them to have something to laugh about. They would make fun of my loving family too, how I got a mum and dad, cos they are single parented so
Questioned by the Hong Kong PoliceSo where was I? Oh yes I was gonna talk about my experiences with the Hong Kong police, so here goes. OK this is the problem, whenever I visit Hong Kong I always have the fear of being questioned by the police, well not exactly fear because I've got nothing to hide, but whenever I am alone walking on the street and a policeman on patrol sees me, they would ALWAYS 100% stop and ask for my ID. For those ain't familiar with how things work in Hong Kong is that if they see a teenager (Especially male) on the street not in their school uniform during school time or with dyed hair or pretty much just 'gangster' or suspicious looking, they have the right to stop you in the middle of nowhere and question you. Now I match every bit of suspicion possible, what they are trying to check is if there's any sort of crime around the area so they can narrow down the suspects, or to check whether you are legal to be in Hong Kong, or whether you've got drugs on you. Anyway when I was in Hong Kong a month
Deviant DiscoveryWHAT IS DEVIANT DISCOVERY?Deviant Discovery is a weekly Journal Feature that focuses specifically on Deviants that have good art, but haven't gotten much attention for it. Every week, a new Deviant will be chosen, and a few of their artworks will be show in this Journal, along with a description of the artist themselves. This weekly feature will serve as an attempt to get under-appreciated artists more attention then they already have.HOW DOES IT WORK?It will work in a similar way to Daily Deviations - either I could select a Deviant myself, or someone could be suggested by another Deviant. Once a Deviant is chosen, we'll find their best five Deviations to be featured in the Journal. Then, we'll give a short description of the artist's work, and a small explanation of why they were chosen. The feature will remain on the front of my page for seven days [168 hours; one week], so that the Deviant can get continuous attention. Suggestions could be s
Challenge 3: Book - Top 5Happy Holiday I try to give out the result faster than usual since DA is having promotions for premium member subscription. That's why I try to give you the result sooner so you may use your points for it. Though it's not enough but I hope it can help some how .With a lot of entries therefore it took me while to choose top 5. This time, so many good entries with great concepts. It's really hard for me to pick 5 only.I don't pick the top 5 base on drawing skills only but also the concept of their entries. But there were more than 20 entries I want to pick as winners :C. But don't worry, we will have more challenges in future.I am truly sorry for who don't make it, not because you are not good but because we only choose 5 here. As I usually said for challenge, it's not a contest, it likes a little 'push', a little motivation for you to draw (it's also a reason why the prize for top 5 is just little). If you don't make it this time but I believe you earn somet
SNIPPY: evidence"Blasted mug!"I looked at it hatefully."This is all your fault!"I attempted to throw the mug at the Arbitrator, to smash it, to let go of it.Nothing of the sort was possible.I flailed left and right. The mug did not budge. I could not let it go, no matter how hard I tried. It was as if it were glued to me with a strange static-like substance. It rolled between my fingers and from one hand to the other, but it was as if I were made of iron and the mug were a powerful rare-earth magnetic bearing coated with oil.Why can't I let go of the mug?!Did the Arbitrator's reconstruction of my organs have anything to do with this?Upon giving up to prying the mug out of my hands, I turned to the Arbitrator and spoke.I made my case calmly and clearly, pressuring various facts that my DNA couldn't possibly be on the mug and that I looked nothing like Captain and that it might as well scan my memories for evidence or something of that sort.
Introducing #dALinkSystemHello! I'd like to introduce you to a fantastic group and tell you all about it!:icondalinksystem:dALinkSystem is a Group dedicated to increasing artists exposure, by helping others and themselves through a simple and effective "Linking" system.The idea: "Link another artists submission in your artist's comment box. It helps everyone's exposure and finds undiscovered art." The Link System was originated by TheFulkrum and myself (Echostar08), in May of 2009. What began with a few "Linkers" has grown into a large "Linkers Community" of caring deviants, who utilize The Link System to help increase their exposure, while helping others.Linking can be done in as little as 5 minutes. It's simple to do and takes only a little extra time when you're submitting a deviation. The little bit of extra time you spend to personally choose and feature someone else's art in your artist's comment box (or in your deviation description), is ve
I have an idea DA!!!I know you are looking for super useful things to add to DeviantArt! Please consider this! It would make life significantly easier for people with or without subs!Somewhere on the top bar of the profile page, make an optional add on a Commission button!If you choose to display this you can set it to either "Commissions Available" "Commissions Closed" or "Not taking commissions" for example.If one of the former two, the button is a link to url of users choice, be it a journal entry or webpage, with their commission info.Can you see how brilliant this would be? Visitors would know straight away if they had a shot at commissioning the artist rather than having to ask, and non-sub members can show this info without needing a custom box or having to copy and paste the same info in all their journal entries. C'mon DA, you know you love it! I don't need any credit!As a side note, the button should be color coded! So if the button says "Commissions Available", it will be in say, a friendl
A Word About deviantARTThe internet can be a terrible distraction when what you mean to do is get up, uncap those tubes of paint, and do your best to commit the image that's behind your eyes to some vague approximation on canvas.Art takes time-- time to scale your own wilderness, sometimes in the dark-- and the internet has a way of leaching every last hour from the day before you've even noticed it's gone.Then, one day, you stumble on to dA, and there they are: your actual peers, throughout the world, all striving for the same things you've been striving for; some are offering sage advice, some are heaping abuse wherever it will land, and a few are just killing time-- but mostly, you'll find artists engaged from both the right and left sides of their brains in the full-time obsession of art.We're told that the left side of the brain is where language and logic abide, and the right side is where imagery and intuition brew, and for artists, the trick throughout their lives will be to reconcile the

A Brief dA WalkthroughI know you probably all have a fairly decent idea of all that you can do on dA, but you can't go wrong doing a bit of a refresher course!When you first log in (or when you click the "deviantART" link in the top left corner of any dA page), you get taken to the front page of dA. This is where you can search deviations, or just browse to see what's there. The "Popular" browse feature was just revamped to give fairer exposure to all popular art, not just the overall popular on dA. Use the popular browse to see what's popular in all the galleries. Don't want to look at all that? Refine the galleries to something that more suits your preference in the left-hand side bar. Want to see what's new, not just what's hot? Change your browse to "Newest" and you'll see everything that's just been submitted. Because of the way "Newest" works, it can be frustrating to browse, here are a

This week, I have been reading a lot of comments -- from Zacks strategists and subscribers alike -- about the Financial Sector. That is, how to play it, if there is any coming earnings and estimate revision strength, etc. etc. I looked into the top-down Zacks Industries. Lo and behold, the very top-ranked Zacks Industry, ranked number 1 out of 265 groups, up +1 over the last week, and with a solid eight companies in it, is Finance-Mortgage and Related Servicers . Out of the eight companies, four are currently Zacks Ranked #1, two are Zacks Ranked #2, with one of those a Zacks Rank #1 a week ago. Pretty impressive stuff! The lowest current Zacks Rank is a #3. How does this fit into the big macro picture? First of all, these are mostly small and mid cap financial companies -- in a niche business area that is growing with re-financing and issuance of mortgages. Niches. What Kevin Cook and I agreed is one place to look for opportunities in the Financial Sector earlier this week. It also tells us where one pocket of strength may be found inside balance sheets of larger diversified entities. This type of finance activity underpins the rise in single-family starts and sales, and apartment and condo construction. Doing my macro homework, I re-produced the composite National Case-Shiller single-family home price index over the last twenty plus years. A sobering exercise! We do see apparent price stability in the current home price index. But the graph also serves to remind us of the huge bubble lurking behind in time. See the graph below.
Kevin and I traded emails this morn. A few cautious comments seem appropriate:
Nonetheless, here are the Zacks Rank #1 mortgage finance and servicing companies available to investors. Two are small cap companies that offer sizable yields (6.6% and 13.9%). Small Mortgage REITs Home Loan Servicing Solutions ( HLSS ), Zacks Rank #1, Outperform, Small Cap Value, $607M Market Cap, 6.6% Yield. HLSS focuses on acquiring mortgage-servicing assets consisting of mortgage servicing rights, rights to mortgage servicing rights, associated servicing advances and other related assets. It intends to engage residential mortgage loan servicers to service the pools of mortgage loans underlying the mortgage servicing rights. Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd. is based in George Town, Cayman Islands. Javelin Mortgage Investment Corp. ( JMI ) Zacks Rank #2, recently #1, no rating, $149M Market Cap. 13.9% Yield, REIT, Small Cap. JMI invests and manages a leveraged portfolio of agency mortgage-backed securities, non-agency mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related investments. It invests primarily in hybrid adjustable rate, adjustable rate and fixed rate Agency RMBS and non-Agency RMBS.
The company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2012. Javelin Mortgage Investment Corp is based in Vero Beach, United States. Large and Mid Cap Mortgage Originators and Servicers Nationstar Mortgage Holdings, Inc. ( NSM ), Zacks Rank #1 and Outperform, $3.6B Market Cap, 0.0% Yield. Large Cap Growth NSM is a mortgage lender. It services loans throughout the United States and originates primarily conventional agency and government residential mortgage loans and also offers a diverse array of complementary services for mortgage investors. Nationstar Mortgage Holdings, Inc. is headquartered in Lewisville, Texas. PHH Corp. ( PHH ) Zacks Rank #1, Outperform. $2.6B Market Cap. Mid Cap Value PHH is a leading outsource provider of mortgage and vehicle fleet management services. It is the sixth largest retail originator of residential mortgages in the United States and the second largest fleet management services provider in the United States and Canada. Multi-Family Lending Walker & Dunlop, LLC ( WD ) Zacks Rank #1, Outperform, 0.0% Yield, $658 Market Cap, Small Cap Value WD is engaged in providing commercial real estate financial services in the United States, with a primary focus on multifamily lending. The Company also offers service loans for life insurance companies, commercial banks and other institutional investors as a loan broker. The Multifamily and FHA Finance groups of Walker & Dunlop are focused on lending to property owners, investors, and developers of multifamily properties across the country. The Capital Markets and Investment Services groups provide a broad range of advisory, financing, investment consulting and related services. Walker & Dunlop's Healthcare Finance group provides debt financing for healthcare properties.
The Company's Principle Investments include origination, underwriting, execution and management of commercial real estate opportunities across property types and geographies within the continental United States. Walker & Dunlop, LLC is based in Bethesda, Maryland.

This sounds like a weird combination but it came out really, really good!Black Forest Cake with Caramel hazelnut frosting
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (I used chocolate fudge) 1 1/3 cups coffee 3 eggs 1/2 cup oil 3/4 cup cherry preserves (only $1.68 at Krogers) 1/2 cup butter (softened) 1/2 shortening 4 cups powdered sugar (sifted) 1/4 cup caramel hazelnut coffee creamer by international delight (You can use any other flavor you think might taste good)
- 1.Bake cake mix according to package using coffee instead of water
- 2. Cool and torte into four layers
- 3. Spread about 1/4 cup cherry preserves on each layer making three layers of cherry.
- 4. Assemble layers
- 5. Frost cake with frosting
- To Make Frosting- Beat softened butter and shortening, scrape bowl. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time scraping bowl after each addition (mixture will be crumbly at this point) Add 1/4 cup creamer slowly. (I used 1/4-1/2 a cup, add to your desired consistancy)

I have the little program Resolution Changer on my computer, since my (non-wide-screen) LCD monitor's native resolution is 1280 x 1024 and I preferred the 1024 x 768 setting. However, recently, because some sites I am more frequently visiting -- and some new sites -- end up with a horizontal scroll bar at that setting (like some of my webmail sites), I'm thinking of changing it back to the 1280 x 1024 for my own purposes, since that setting solves the scroll bar issue. But the other user of this home desktop prefers the 1024 x 768 setting. My question is: will using this program to change the resolution settings more frequently (back-and-forth between the two above settings a half dozen times a day or so) create too much wear-and-tear on the computer and/or monitor ? If so, I'll avoid making the change to 1280 x 1024. Thanks ! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would not think it would make any difference to the wear and tear, just the frustration level of both users perhaps. Not sure how much you need to scroll left and right but perhaps a better mouse with side scrolling might be the answer. With mine if I need horizontal scroll I simply push the scroll wheel one side or the other. You might even like some of the other button features offered on 8 button mouses, mices or meeses. |
Plain and simple. Nope. It would be the same service demand as if you were toggling with F11 or toggling ctrl+ and ctrl-. DA |

You're going to get the best display on your monitor if use it's native resolution. There are ways within Windows to adjust things like icon and text size. Create accounts for each user and from there they can adjust Windows to their own liking. |

Thanks to all of you for your responses ! owbist, I appreciate the info regarding mouses/mice/meeses with side-scrolling. I'm afraid, though, that in our particular situation, the frustration level for me in always having to scroll horizontally at the sites where I would need to is higher than that of simply adjusting the resolution for each internet session of mine. So, I'll probably settle for the latter. But thanks for the suggestion ! mike, Thanks for the comment re: Windows settings. But in our case it's a bit more than icons and text, and the resolution changer program solves the extra concerns. So I'm glad you, DA and owbist agree that the wear-and-tear is minimal. Thanks again ! :-) |
Since I am not 100% sure as to your goal, I ask have you tried ctrl+ and ctrl-? This might be the resulting effects you are searching for without an additional utility. DA |
Forgot this. A use of the Ctrl+/- combined with F11 givers you a full adjustable viewing screen except for the vertical scroll bar. To activate the hidden toolbar just move your cursor to the top margin. Moving the cursor away causes the toolbar to hide. I am using the combination right now and all that is showing on the display is the GW page and the scroll bar. DA |
Of course you could always have 2 screens hooked to the computer. I have FF on my main screen and Opera and Chrome on the second one. Prices have dropped dramatically for monitors these days. |
- Posted by not2bright (My Page) on Tue, Aug 21, 12 at 19:08
Thanks, DA and owbist, for the additional input ! :-) owbist, that's something I may consider in the future. For now, though, acquiring an additional monitor is a bit too costly for the use I'd make of it. :-/ DA, to be a bit more specific... my goal in part is to have the other user be able to (among other things) play the Pogo games without squinting ;-) and have me able to access my daily websites without horizontal scrolling if at all possible. While your F11, Ctrl +/- suggestion is very helpful (!), it wouldn't resolve the Pogo issues, since those games have a pop-up play area that isn't affected by those functions. And since the other user finds the native 1280 x 1024 setting too hard on the eyes, we've had Resolution Changer on this computer ever since we got the LCD monitor nearly two years ago, in order to have the monitor set at 1024 x 768 all the time. That setting allows the Pogo games to be more viewable/enjoyable for the other person and has been fine for me -- until this most recent issue: one of my email providers (EuMX.net) upgraded their RoundCube webmail to a version which, for some reason, does not fit on my non-widescreen monitor's display without the horizontal scrollbar. So, since we already have this 'utility' on the computer for easy viewing anyway, I was curious enough to ask if it would be too hard on the computer or the monitor if I were to begin using it to jump back-and-forth between the two resolution settings. I'm glad to find out it wouldn't. :-) |
