Sometimes you have to cross the tracks to find a girl who can suck dick like it\'s the first of the month and the rent is due. In between the polka-dot fingernails and ghetto tattoos is a teen girl with little brown nipples and juicy, dick-sucking lips. Lexi Moore might come from the wrong side of the tracks, but she\'s a skilled cock-sucker who knows how to take it deep and breathe through her nose. Lexi isn\'t some chatty cheerleader. She isn\'t going to yammer on about how old she is and what school she goes to and how long she\'s been sucking dick. This hot teen knows that the soundtrack to a perfect blowjob is those nasty sucking sounds that come from deep in her throat.

Apple Maintains Third Place in U.S. PC Sales for 4Q 2012
Research firm Gartner today released its preliminary personal computer shipment data for the fourth quarter of 2012, showing a mixed market for manufacturers. Overall, Gartner saw a 2.1% year-over-year decline in PC sales in the United States, compared to a 4.9% decline on a global basis. Gartner's Preliminary U.S. PC Vendor Unit Shipment Estimates for 4Q12 (Thousands of Units) In the United States, Apple maintained its third-place ranking with 12.3% of the market on a unit sales increase of 5.4% over the year-ago quarter. Apple's growth was outpaced by leader HP at 12.6% and fourth-place Lenovo at 9.7%, but Lenovo remains well behind Apple at 8.4% of the U.S. market. Apple and the other gainers were, however, more than offset by steep losses at Dell and Acer, leading to overall contraction of the PC market in the U.S. Apple's U.S. Market Share Trend: 1Q06-4Q12 (Gartner) As usual, Gartner did not cover Apple's worldwide market share for the quarter, as the company does not rank among the top five vendors on a worldwide basis.IDC has also released its estimates of PC sales for the quarter, offering an even bleaker view of the market with its calculations of 6.4% contraction in the global market and a 4.5% decline in the United States. Apple in particular took a hit in IDC's estimates relative to Gartner's numbers, with IDC projecting that Apple's sales actually shrank by 0.2% year-over-year. Still, given the overall market decline in the U.S., IDC saw Apple's share of the market rise from 10.9% to 11.4%. Article Link: Apple Maintains Third Place in U.S. PC Sales for 4Q 2012 |

Good to see quality pays off; Lenovo seems to build pretty good laptops. And I guess much of HP's profits are to be found in the corporate sector. Ugh, Dell and Acer are almost in free fall...

As for the actual numbers, I'm surprised the current tablet craze didn't eat more into this segment. The market is mature and lets face, as technology advances, the actual niches that do require more and more computing power are getting smaller and rarer. Most people have attained a level of computing power to fill their needs quite a while ago, and upgrades are mostly done to replace faulty old hardware or out of a "want" consumerism basis.

Gotta stick to the U.S. numbers because they fall off when you consider worldwide numbers, which really show how successful Lenovo and ASUS have been.

I didn't realize HP was doing so well... I'm in a room full of laptops right now and glancing around me I can make out...
4 MacBook Airs, 1 MacBook Pro, 1 Acer, 1 Dell, 1 HP, and 1 IBM. What do the numbers look like when you just look at laptops? Edit: I'm in a university engineering classroom... my understanding was many engineering students use Windows...

Literally as he said "Those crappy closed source operating systems are so unreliable" his laptop locked up. Needless to say the lecture ended at that point. ) |

The fact is that both Dell and HP outsell Apple (in both units and revenue), but they're getting *murdered* by the unbelievably low margins on the typical systems they sell. Apple avoided the race to no profits that the rest of the PC industry 'competed' in over the last two decades or so. The lowest-end systems sold by Apple are mid-range system by the standards of most OEMs, including Dell and HP, and carry similar profit margins to those systems. Apple doesn't *do* the 'low-end' where there are no profit margins though. In the mid-range and upper end, there is more room for both quality and profits because not so many corners need to be cut to squeeze prices down. The result of cutting corners and 'going cheap' in order to compete solely on price has resulted in *most* Windows PC vendors gaining a reputation for poor quality over the years, at the very least in their 'consumer' lines. Profitability in the Windows PC market has been so poor that HP recently looked at unloading their PC division because it was so unprofitable. Dell has had financial issues related to poor profitability in the recent past as well, though I don't recall seeing anything in the past few years, so they may have gotten things under control. ---------- Quote:
I do wish they'd show more than the top 5, though. Where *does* Apple sit on the charts for world-wide sales? 10th? 6th? 25th?

No one but shareholders care about profits. Profits are essentially the dollars a company managed to charge extra for to buyers and stuff their money with. If you ask me, the less profits the better I'm off.

I disagree. I think it's pretty obvious the tone of the post. Not to mention - what does profit margin have to do with the topic. Oh I know it's related. But the manner in which the OP commented - it wasn't a discussion point. It was what everyone knows it was. A knock on HP and Dell for not being Apple.

That's actually another point. I haven't seen one *recently*, but a few years ago (2008 or 2009, IIRC), there was an article about US laptop market share where the differences between enterprise and consumer sales were discussed. Even back then, Apple had something like 25% of consumer sales, but a vanishingly small share of enterprise sales. That breakdown is so *rarely* discussed, though.

Electronics Manufacturing & Equipment: Background
The computer and Internet industry's influence increased exponentially over the last decade as computer and Internet use skyrocketed.
The industry quickly bounced back from the bursting in 2000 of the tech bubble, and it continues to experience strong growth as one of American business' greatest success stories. The industry is composed of many well-known companies such as Microsoft, Apple, Amazon.com and Google - the latter even having a verb named for it.
In 2008, people and political action committees associated with the computer and Internet industry contributed $41.4 million to federal candidates, ranking the industry 13th on the list of top contributing industries. In 1990, by contrast, the industry only contributed $1.7 million, and was ranked No. 53.
Few industries have experienced such a meteoric increase in contributions. Over the last two decades, the industry's contributions have been fairly evenly split between Democrats and Republicans. Recently, however, the Democrats have gained an edge, receiving 66 percent of contributions for the 2008 election cycle.
The top contributor in 2008 was a Center for Responsive Politics "Heavy Hitter," Microsoft Corp., with the company's employees and PAC donating $3.2 million in campaign contributions, 72 percent of which went to Democrats.
Google contributed $1.7 million, with an even higher percentage going to Democrats. Both Microsoft and Google were on the list of top 20 contributors to the Democratic National Committee in 2008. People and PACs associated with Apple contributed much less -- about $340,000 - with 90 percent going to Democrats.
On the federal lobbying front, the industry spent a record $124 million in 2008. Microsoft spent $8.9 million and IBM spent $6.4 million. (Microsoft's numbers dipped in 2009.) Unlike many industries, the computer and Internet industry is full of dozens of smaller companies that spend relatively little on politics individually, but that together account for the industry's increased clout. In the last decade, the industry has spent more than $1 billion on lobbying, making it the 4th highest industry spender on lobbying.
Of particular concern to the industry are cybersecurity, copyright and intellectual property laws, and the emerging issue of "net neutrality," which could forest new rules for regulating the Internet.

It came 2 days sooner than expected, and was a perfect fit, just like your web page said it would be. Thanks very much. Have gotten repair parts from Appliance Parts Pros before and will do so again when needed. Was this review helpful to you?
Oven was not working properly...and with faint smell of gas... Steve W. • Hana, HI • April 06, 2014 My Repair & Advice Really easy. First, turn off gas and unplug the unit. Then, on the back of the stove near the floor center, disconnect the metal gas line that feeds into the safety valve. Then on the inside, take out oven floor with two screws in the back and slide back and up. Set it aside. Then remove baffle with it's one nut. Then remove screws at each end of gas tube and carefully lift off and set aside. Then remove the one screw that holds down the valve. Using a screw driver, pry off the electrical connectors. Installation is in reverse...but be sure to use some new yellow Teflon tape (for gas connections) when you reconnect the metal gas line into the safety valve. You may want to wait to install the baffle and oven floor until after you test the repair. Was this review helpful to you?
No spark to ingite stove Ellis F. • Southport, NC • September 02, 2014 My Repair & Advice Checked online to see what possible problem could be. Your website is very informative and suggested a spark module. Ordered and replaced module all works well!! Was this review helpful to you?

This study is provided by ICPSR. ICPSR provides leadership and training in data access, curation, and methods of analysis for a diverse and expanding social science research community.
Urban Poverty and Family Life Survey of Chicago, 1987 (ICPSR 6258)
Principal Investigator(s): Wilson, William Julius, et al.
This survey was undertaken to assemble a broad range of family, household, employment, schooling, and welfare data on families living in urban poverty areas of Chicago. The researchers were seeking to test a variety of theories about urban poverty. Questions concerned respondents' current lives as well as their recall of life events from birth to age 21. Major areas of investigation included household composition, family background, education, time spent in detention or jail, childbirth, fertility, relationship history, current employment, employment history, military service, participation in informal economy, child care, child support, child-rearing, neighborhood and housing characteristics, social networks, current health, current and past public aid use, current income, and major life events.

Scope of Study
Subject Terms: child care, child rearing, criminal histories, education, employment, families, family life, health status, household composition, income, military service, neighborhood characteristics, poverty, social networks, urban areas, welfare services
Geographic Coverage: Chicago, Illinois, United States
Time Period:
- 1987
Date of Collection:
- 1987-02-21--1987-10-24
Universe: Non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic Blacks, and persons of Mexican or Puerto Rican ethnicity, aged 18-44, residing in 1986 in Chicago census tracts with 20 percent or more persons living under the poverty line.
Data Types: survey data
Data Collection Notes:
Value labels for this study are being released in a separate file, Part 7, to assist users of SPSS Release 6.1 for Windows. The syntax window in this version of SPSS will read a maximum of 32,767 lines. If all value labels were included in the SPSS data definition file, the number of lines in the file would exceed 32,767 lines.
All references to card-image data in the codebook are no longer applicable.
During generation of the logical record length data file, ICPSR optimized variable widths to the width of the widest value appearing in the data collection for each variable. However, the principal investigator's user-missing data code definitions were retained even when a variable contained no missing data. As a result, when user-missing data values are defined (e.g., by uncommenting the MISSING VALUES section in the SPSS data definition statements) and exceed the optimized variable width, SPSS's display dictionary output will contain asterisks for the missing data codes.
Producer: University of Chicago, Center for the Study of urban Inequality, and the National Opinion Research Center (NORC).
Sample: Multistage stratified probability sample design yielding 2,490 observations (1,183 Blacks, 364 whites, 489 Mexican-origin persons, and 454 Puerto Rican-origin persons). Though Black respondents include parents (N = 1,020) and non-parents (N = 163), only parents were selected within non-Black groups. Response rates ranged from 73.8 percent for non-Hispanic whites to 82.5 percent for Black parents.
Data Source:
personal interviews
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Performed consistency checks.
Original ICPSR Release: 1994-10-19
Version History:
- 1997-11-04 The documentation and frequencies are being released as PDF files, and an SPSS export file is now available. Also, the SAS data definition statements and SPSS data definition statements have been reissued with minor changes, and SPSS value labels are being released in Part 7 due to SPSS for Windows limitations.

Wild & Scenic Film Festival Comes to Quincy
"Last Light," part of Quincy's Wild & Scenic Film Fest Tour, makes visual poetry of the undeniable magic of alpen-glow—the final seconds of a day's light— that gives impossible texture and life before falling into the shadows of the Spring hours in Haines, Alaska.
The largest environmental film festival in North America is coming to the Town Hall Theatre on Wednesday, Sept. 18, at 6:30 p.m.
Plumas Arts and Plumas Corporation are proud to co-host the sixth annual SYRCL's Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival in Quincy. This is a one-evening showing of 12 films from the three-day Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival in Nevada City.
Through the big screen, discover Mount Kenya and how it is changing with the warmer climate, travel to New Zealand with the Wintu tribe of Redding to visit the lone surviving salmon from Mount Shasta, and climb El Cap with three disabled climbers.
Other films will explore genetically modified seeds and how they have impacted agro-biodiversity around the world, learn about an 11-year-old who paints more than 500 paintings to raise funds for the BP oil spill cleanup, and travel into the backcountry with an 89-year-old outdoorsman.
Join us for films, Sierra Nevada beer and a fantastic prize drawing.
Doors open at 6 p.m.; movies show from 6:30 to 9:30.
Admission is $12 at the door, $10 in advance at Plumas Arts gallery and online at plumasarts.org.

For me I like to remember the way the Dr describes the disease as twofold:
an allergy of the body coupled with an obsession of the mind.
I can get a reprieve from the body part as long as I don't put a drink in.
I need to maintain my spiritual fitness on a daily basis - to get a repreive from the obsession.
That tells me my disease is centred in my mind. I need to change my thinking to help my mind. The 12 steps show me precisely how the first 100 did that.
Why would anyone not want to follow their recipe?

Sam Green/Cortez Journal
Sam Green/Cortez Journal
It was an ominous day at the Cortez Municipal Airport.
�Where�s Mabel?� �Has anyone seen Mabel?�
Suddenly, it was clear that this was not a normal day.
Mabel was missing.
The call went out, search parties were assembled, fears soared.
Mabel was missing.
They searched all over. Airplane hangers, fields, empty buildings, parked cars, they knocked on doors � they searched everywhere.
No Mabel.
Four days passed � no Mabel. Six, seven, eight days ... Mabel was gone.
The fear and sadness hung over the airport like an early-morning fog.
It�s been more than four years since Mabel touched down at the airport. Almost from Day 1, nearly everyone took Mabel under his or her collective wing.
For Harvey Baker and Barb Serfoss, the pain and worry of a missing Mabel took over. But everyone missed Mabel. From the mechanics to the car-rental workers to the passengers who frequent the tiny airport. Everyone knows Mabel.
Through the years, a few passengers, some allergic to cats or just not cat people, have shooed Mabel away. But most can�t resist the friendly and loving cat.
Day 10, Baker, who works for Transportation Security Administration, was screening passengers.
He admitted he was sick with worry about Mabel.
Then he heard something. A faint meow.
Mabel was back � cold and hungry, but Mabel was home.
�I tell you, I almost cried. If I wasn�t working in the security checkpoint, I think I would have cried,� Baker said.

Office of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs
Jose D. Riojas
Chief of Staff of the Department of Veterans Affairs
The Honorable Jose D. Riojas, assumed the duties of Chief of Staff of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) on July 29, 2013. Prior to that he served as the Assistant Secretary for Operations, Security, and Preparedness (OSP).
Riojas retired from the Army as a Brigadier General and began his service at VA as the Assistant Secretary OSP having been nominated by President Obama in April and confirmed by the Senate in May of 2009. As Assistant Secretary for OSP, Mr. Riojas directed a number of Department-level programs. These programs included: Law Enforcement, Physical Security, Personal Security, Personnel Security, Identity Management, Preparedness, Continuity of Government, Continuity of Operations, and Emergency Management. His overall responsibilities were to ensure that VA's workforce – and those they serve – enjoyed a safe and secure environment, and that the Department could continue to perform its missions regardless of natural or manmade conditions.
Prior to joining VA, Riojas served as Vice President for Strategic Initiatives at the University of Texas at El Paso. He served concurrently as: the Executive Director of the Department of Homeland Security's Center of Excellence for Border Security and Immigration; the Executive Director of the Center for Defense Systems Research; and on Governor Rick Perry's Advisory Committee for the Texas Emerging Technology Fund.
General Riojas is from Independence, Missouri and he graduated from Van Horn High School. His military career began upon his 1976 graduation from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point as a second lieutenant in the field artillery.
His military service of more than 30 years included numerous and significant operational assignments throughout the world, including: Korea, Germany, and combat operations in Southwest Asia (Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm). While the majority of his career was spent in command of operational units at the platoon through Task Force levels, he also served as Political Military Affairs Officer with the U.S. Department of State, and as Program Manager of the Extending the Littoral Battlespace, Advanced Concepts Technology Demonstration. Riojas served in five different Army Divisions: the 2nd Infantry, 7th Infantry (Light), 2nd Armored, 25th Infantry (Light), and the 3rd Infantry (Mechanized).
While at the Pentagon, from 2000-2003, Riojas served as Chief of Army Requirements and led the Army's process within the Joint Requirements Oversight Council. During his last two plus years in the Pentagon, he served as Executive Officer to the Chief of Staff of the Army. He then went on to serve as the Assistant Division Commander for the 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized), Fort Stewart, Ga.
From 2004-2006, Riojas commanded Joint Task Force North (JTF-N), headquartered at Fort Bliss, Texas. Serving in that role, his geographical area of responsibility included Canada, Mexico, and the 48 contiguous states. JTF-N's mission was to provide Department of Defense resources throughout the continental United States in support of Law Enforcement agencies at the federal, state, and local levels, allowing them to more effectively interdict Transnational Criminal Organizations and an array of other threats.
Riojas has been awarded numerous military decorations to include: the Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit (3 awards), Bronze Star Medal, Defense Meritorious Service Medal (2 awards), Army Meritorious Service Medal (6 awards), Parachutist Badge, Air Assault Badge, and Army Staff Identification Badge.
He and his wife Susan are the proud parents of a son and a daughter. Joshua is a graduate student at the Harvard Business School after having served seven years as an Army officer. Christina is a Captain in the Army serving as a Chief Surgical Resident at the Eisenhower Army Medical Center, Fort Gordon, Ga.

Product Information
- Gazillion Bubbles from Funrise
- Part of the Gazillion Bubbles brand
- We recommend this product for ages 3 and up
What It Is
Take bubble blowing to new heights with Funrise's Gazillion Bubbles toys. The Gazillion Bubbles line of bubble toys is popping with a "one-of-a-kind" bubble solution and great bubble-blowing accessories. You'll be able to tell the difference between the Gazillion Bubbles solution and a plain old soap-and-water mixture. Gazillion Bubbles is a top-secret solution that enables the bubbles to float higher and last longer, and even little kids will be able to create beautiful bubbles. Kids will love blowing huge bubbles and parents will too because this non-toxic bubble solution doesn't stain. That said, unless you're blowing only one or two bubbles, these work better as outdoor toys.Transform an ordinary bike into the ultimate bubble bike with the new Gazillion Bubble Exhaust! Attach this battery-powered bubble machine to your bike, turn on the switch, ride off, and you'll leave behind an incredible trail of bubbles. The exhaust comes with a four-ounce bottle of Gazillion Bubbles solution. Two AA batteries are required, but not included.
The Gazillion Incredibubble Wand lets you make bubbles as big as you! Simply pour the solution into the tray, dip the wand into the solution, and wave the wand to create enormous bubbles. The wand includes a 16-ounce bottle of the Special Super Strength Blue Gazillion Bubbles solution.
The Gazillion Hydro Bubblator is a squirt gun and bubble blower in one! Just turn the switch on to produce a stream of bubbles or pull the trigger for some water blaster action. The Bubblator includes a four-ounce bottle of Gazillion Bubbles solution.
Over the years, we've tried a variety of different bubble solutions, and we consistently find that the Gazillion product has better bubbles with less frustration. You'll pay a little more for it, to be sure, but you really do see the difference when kids play with it. It's available in many different refill sizes as well and works with any bubble toys.

Compliments Galore!

This is a perfect length for me. I am 5ft 11 and the length, with just wearing flats, is perfect. I can clearly understand, for someone shorter, how it could be too long for them. For me, I am just pleased that it doesn't finish mid calf. At least people can shorten the dress, but when you have a dress that finishes there, it's no good! The colour of cobalt blue is striking. The design is also flattering, because basically, it's a long wrap dress. More of these designs please!! |

AshleyAZHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairMore Than Worth It!To start off I love this to bits it made my thick curly hair straighter than any other blow dryer I've used, and I didn't even have to use a nozzle or round brush or a brush in general, just my fingers.
The only Con was that I first used it with my round brush and one of the nozzles and it almost instantly melted the plastic teeth on the brush..
So I stopped that and just held the dryer above me pointing down at my hair and ran my fingers through it and it came out perfectly straight!
Totally worth every penny, I wouldn't trade it for any other!posted Jun 30, 2012Link to this post -
DavidHairNormal HairOily HairDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairVs The 4000iI had been using the 4000i on an average of about 6-8 clients/day for the last 18 months. About two weeks ago, it died on me (side note: thank you folica for your awesomely prompt warranty replacement service, and thank you Sedu for offering this wonderful 2-year warranty!, that in itself is reason enough to buy these products). So while I sent off the 4000i to be replaced I was forced to purchase the new 6000i from a local store, since they had stopped carrying the 4000i and I needed a backup. After quite a few clients, here are some pros and cons between these two great tools:
-The new 6000i has a locking "cool-shot" button, meaning you don't have to hold it down continuously to make it work, just click it on or off, this is really great and makes using the button an actual option when seeing clients. Plus it lights up to tell you it is engaged, which is a nice detail.
-the handle seems more ergonomic and balanced.
-seems like it gets hotter, but I might just be imagining that.
-seems to blow with much more velocity than the 4000i when not using a concentrator. Not using the concentrator on the 4000i was a questionable option at best.
-Longer nozzle. I'm still a HUGE fan of the short nozzle of the 4000i, it just seemed more compact and easier to use. But it's growing on me.
-Shorter cord?? This was an enormous surprise to me, so much so that I didn't even research it beforehand. Why would they make the cord shorter? The 4000i had this wonderfully long cord, you could blow dry across the room. This cord seems more designed for the at-home user. I simply can't imagine any professional saying, "this cord is just too long and convenient." I had to buy an extension cord just to use it in the way I was accustomed.
-No more removable filter and end gate. While the removable end piece on the 4000i was annoying (would pop off if dropped) sometimes, at least you were ensured that your dryer was clean and in its best condition. The end cap on the 6000i while it seems much more substantial and of far better quality, is not removable. Because it isn't removable, there isn't a filter behind it (why would there be a filter if it wasn't removable). I would generally clean the filter and end cap every month, so how this works out, we'll see...
All in all:
This is a great follow-up to the 4000i. I actually see this dryer as being much better suited to the at-home user than its predecessor (when I get my replacement 4000i back, my wife will be stoked to have this at home - at least until I need a backup), due mostly to the shorter cord length and better use without the concentrator nozzle. If this is your first Sedu, the longer nozzle won't be an issue and may even be better suited for use than the original short nozzle. This is no doubt a quality product, but if for some reason you do have an issue, my experience with the folica.com support service was very prompt and generally awesome, so you can purchase with confidence.posted Jun 28, 2012Link to this post -
IrisHairDark BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairLove It!!!This is the answer to my prayers, this hair dryer is incredible. I was literally frying my hair with a 2000watts dryer and even though , this one has less wattage, it is very powerful , my hair looks shiny and healthy and I dried my hair in less time than with the other one.posted Jun 15, 2012Link to this post
IrisHairDark BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairWow!!I am just impressed. I am latina and I have a lot of hair and coarse. As soon as I received my Sedu dryer I tried it . Wow!I dried my hair so fast I could not believe it. And it looks so shiny and healthy that everyone was asking me what I did to my hair. I had a 2000 Watts dryer that was literally frying my hair. The cool button is a plus.posted Jun 15, 2012Link to this post
KimHairMedium BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairAlmost Takes The Place Of My Flat IronLove this hair dryer. No louder than the last one I had but so much more powerful. Drying time cut in half, as well as frizz. Have thick course hair and barely have to use flat iron anymore. Unbelievable difference that top of the line makes vs. el cheapo.posted Jun 14, 2012Link to this post
Alison R.Love This Hair Dryer!I absolutely love this hair dryer! It makes my hair look so shiny. It drys your hair much quicker with less damage! I always felt like I was frying my hair- this dryer actaully makes my hair seem healthier as it has a much softer feel without the split ends. I also don't need to use the flat iron which prevents even more heat damage! I would highly recommend this hair dryer!!!posted Jun 7, 2012Link to this post
KoleenHairLight BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairBest Dryer Ever!!!I love this blow dryer. My hair looks like I straighten it after I dry it. Best money I ever spent on a dryer. My Chi broke after 1 year. I bought the Sedu and even after the first use I decided I will never buy Chi again.posted Jun 7, 2012Link to this post
CrystalHairBlondeThick or Coarse HairBest Purchase I Have Made For My Hair!I spend years spending twenty dollars at least 2-3 times a year on cheap blow dryers that took 20-30 minutes to blow dry my hair, leaving my hair damaged and making the frizz worse! Finally I did a lot of reseach and blowdryers and decided to invest in this one, and so far I LOVE IT!!! First off, you can tell the minute you open the package that the hair dryer is made really well! It is alittle heavy but by no means is it uncomfortable to hold. It only took me 9 minutes to blow dry my hair and for the first time ever I did not need to flat iron my hair! I have naturally curly thick hair so that was a big deal. My hair was so soft and shinny! I slept on my hair and it looked amazing in the morning! I def. recommend this product the everyone!posted May 30, 2012Link to this post
LeeCorrection To My Last Comment!My last comment stated "by no is it more powerful", I meant to say "by no way does that mean it's less powerful". With newer technology comes better products. The wattage is lower, but it push our more air, heat, (85mph. vs. 80mph), and is just better constructed!posted Apr 11, 2012Link to this post
LeeEven With Less Wattage, The 6000i Is More Powerful Than The 4000i.Yare, whoever you talked with at Sedu was very inexperienced. I also talked with Sedu and talked with the representative that knows all about the 6000i since she was on the design team. The wattage is lower, but in no way is it more powerful! I have the Sedu brochure on my computer that I can send you by e-mail if you like that states how the 60001 is more powerful than the 4000i. They did a direct comparison. The wattage is lower because it does indeed use a different motor than the 4000i. It's more efficient! Sedu's brochure states that the airspeed in greater, the heat is higher, and the motor in of newer technology! I have tried the 4000i and trust me, this on is more powerful, quieter, lighter, and just looks stronger! More and more dryers are going to be using newer technoloty, just watch! The 6000i will outlast the 4000i and wait and see, Sedu will probably start closing out on the older dryer very soon.posted Apr 11, 2012Link to this post

Can you please explain the concept of tagging to me again?
We have been told multiple times that tagging is used to help people search for products. So how many people are going to search for #shot-glasses vs how many people are going to search for #christmas?
Even the tag of #gift makes more sense. or #alcohol or #drink or #glass
It does not appear to be a value added way to spend your time as a moderator if in fact this is the purpose for changing tags.
There's a start.
I'll keep digging.
An earlier discussion.
I've read all the discussions but many times the tags I see don't seem to be any help to shoppers.
Just saying...
@ohcheri: I found this question by searching the Meta tag. : /
I gave up on tags long ago, I used to think 'just once I would like my tags not to be changed', I would go as far as search past deals and use duplicate tags for similar items. Now that I gave up and have fun with it I think 'hey, I provide someone a job of title of "The Tag Editor" ', and now I under @shrdlu: law to post my tags in the first comment for posterity.
Obviously no disrespect for @jumbowoot: intended. Wow How did I miss all the tag discussions good list @jumbowoot!
@caffeine_dude: I know, I know...they make the rules/change the rules/bend the rules, etc. Just feeling a tad cranky today I guess :-)
@ohcheri: I have nothing useful to add, other than the redundancy of tagging a question about tags with #tag. :)
And I love creative tags. Even if they have a limited lifespan.
My guess is tags are really for SEO purposes. Not for you.
There is really a lot that goes into making a website search engine spider friendly, which can sometimes trump user-friendly. I think that tags, are one of those things. I'm sure they (sometimes, maybe) try to have it both be SEO friendly and user-friendly, but SEO will always win if there is an arm-wresting match.
@kmeltzer: That certainly makes more sense than some of the other excuses...er...I mean reasons I've heard before.
At least it didn't get the #sexy kiss of death. :)
I was actually amazed that my original tagging stayed on this deal:
@rlapid2112: A perfect example of the inconsistency of tagging. It depends on who is moderating and whether they like you or not.
Good to see you're addicted to a harmless and relatively inexpensive product ;-)

Artisan: One Mango Tree
"No matter how difficult things get, the mango stays green...And in times of drought, we can eat its fruit to survive."
Northern Uganda is a region devastated by more than twenty years of armed conflict. Despite the fact that most of the conflict has subsided and many people are returning to their villages and otherwise peaceful lives, the ongoing violence destroyed many of the opportunities for earning a livelihood, especially for women. One Mango Tree was founded by and remains under the direction of a young American woman named Halle Butvin, who fell in love with Uganda's culture while on a student trip organized by the Global Youth Partnership for Africa. She recognized the talents of the many tailors of Gulu's central market, and thus One Mango Tree was formed as a partner to sell their products in a global marketplace.
Many of the women employed not only care for their own families, but also for children orphaned during the war. In addition to providing a vocation to these women, One Mango Tree provides school fees stipends to help alleviate the cost burden of sending so many orphaned children to school, as well as bicycles to ease the commute to work in the market.
One Mango Tree works with Ugandan and American designers to create their products, mixing the bright African wax printed fabrics purchased in local markets with functional design. Using foot-treadle sewing machines, the women make both traditional and modern style clothing.
Auma Lucy
Auma Lucy is One Mango Tree's head tailor and trainer, providing support and a vocation for the women she employs. Lucy is a single mother herself, caring for eleven orphans in addition to her own two children. Known throughout the community for her kindness and tailoring talents, Lucy became a magnet for young people, in the hopes that she could impart some of her knowledge and skills so they too could make a living. Having struggled herself as a young single mother, Lucy would accept as many women as would fit in her market stall. With the help of One Mango Tree, Lucy's tailors are now paid fair wages, helping them to improve their lives.

Elegant ACCOMMODATIONS
View all Rooms & SuitesDiscover THE PENINSULA ACADEMY
Burda: Burda
The Peninsula Manila invites guests to the exclusive atelier of Lenora Cabili the designer of FILIP + INNA – a private clothing line of contemporary women's wear inspired by the traditional weaving, embroidery, beading and patterns of the Philippine islands.
Spirit of Corregidor: Spirit of Corregidor
Experience World War II history in the Pacific like never before. Though the guns of Corregidor are now silent, the island's buildings, structures and tunnels are a testament to the courage and heroism of its Filipino and American defenders who effectively changed the course of world history. The tour includes an aerial tour of the magnificent Cavite-Batangas coastline, beautiful Taal lake and volcano, capped off with lunch at Antonio's, considered by The Miele Guide as one of Asia's top restaurants.
If These Walls Could Speak: If These Walls Could Speak
Go on a leisurely morning or late afternoon guided walking tour along the streets of the 16th-century "walled city" of Intramuros and listen to a humourous analysis of Philippine art, culture, and society during the Spanish and American empire periods; follow this with lunch or dinner at a 1930s Art Deco mansion.
A Taal Tale: A Taal Tale
Taal is a gem of a town in the Philippine province of Batangas. It is a rarity in that it has no large banks or department stores, no cinemas, no fast food outlets or traffic lights, just a priceless cluster of stately 18th and 19th-century Spanish-Filipino colonial homes that still stand in the town centre. This is the appeal of Taal, where time appears to have stopped, and where guests will get to experience the lifestyle of a bygone era.
Art in the Hills: Art in the Hills
You come to Manila and you like contemporary art? Manila is a standing invitation to explore all kinds of art, especially now when names like Ronald Ventura and Winner Jumalon fetch record highs in international art auctions, and the works of more and more young Filipino artists are garnering critical acclaim around the world.
Manila Design: Manila Design
This Peninsula Academy lets you discover firsthand Manila's rich and sophisticated art, design and fashion scene, learn about its culture, visit galleries, meet artists, curators and couturiers and unearth a fresh alternative face to the Philippine capital.
Pasalubong: Pasalubong
After a trip to foreign lands, a Filipino would never dream of returning home without bringing back a pasalubong (souvenir) for one's family or friends. The Pasalubong: A Filipino Crafts Class for Young People is the perfect experience for junior Peninsula guests to express themselves through a range of art activities. The class will have them creating gifts that reflect the festive culture of the Philippines and which show that loved ones were remembered (and missed) while on vacation.
