Yanks turn to reliable Kuroda in finale with Orioles
New York's struggling bats face tough task vs. Baltimore's Tillman
The Orioles and Yankees present a contrast of styles this year, and never has it been more apparent than during this weekend series in Baltimore, which finishes on Sunday.
New York leans heavily on its pitching, and in the finale it will hand the ball to its most reliable starter, Hiroki Kuroda, to prevent a sweep at the hands of its American League East rival. The Orioles, on the other hand, get by with an explosive offense, one that scored four runs in the opening frame on Saturday and kept tacking on runs on the way to an 11-3 victory.
Sunday presents a chance for the Orioles' first sweep of the Yankees since 2005 and, perhaps, a symbolic changing of the guard in the division. The young Orioles, led by Adam Jones, Manny Machado and Chris Davis, have climbed three games ahead of the Yankees, who are without young star power as well as most of their veteran staples, and threaten to create even more space on Sunday.
"Hitting is difficult," New York manager Joe Girardi said as he searches for a solution for his team's offensive struggles. "It's not easy. You can try some things, but we've faced a lot of left-handers, and to take some crazy risks, I don't believe in doing that."
Kuroda represents New York's best chance at a win every five days. CC Sabathia gave up a three-run lead on Friday. On Saturday the Yankees allowed 11 runs, nine by starter David Phelps in 2 1/3 innings.
Girardi hasn't seen the team's mind-set change, though. The Yankees can climb back within two games of the second-place Orioles with a win on Sunday, and with reinforcements coming, they aren't out of it completely -- but they need to start winning.
Their task won't be easy, though, as Baltimore will be sending to the hill Chris Tillman, who has won six of his past seven starts and is 5-0 in June.
Orioles: Davis' incredible power trip
Davis belted two more home runs in Saturday's win, making him the first in the Majors to 30. His incredible first half also ties him with Brady Anderson for the most home runs by an Oriole before the All-Star break.
Yankees: Adams working through a slump
Through 10 Major League games, David Adams was a .300 hitter, flashing his potential. Three games earlier he'd hit his first career home run, against the Orioles.
Since then he's tumbled. His averaged slipped to .200 in 15 games. Five games later he's hovering below .200.
Adams is batting just .190, with a .280 slugging percentage and just two home runs. But similar to his teammates, he hasn't changed his demeanor.
"I haven't seen him hang his head a lot," Girardi said. "I think his personality has been pretty consistent. He worked really hard."
Worth noting
• Davis and Machado lead the Majors in home runs and doubles, respectively. The last teammates to lead the league in both categories were Yankees Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth in 1927.
• As good as Kuroda has been this season, the Orioles' top hitters have experienced some success against him, with Nick Markakis and Jones batting .385 and .375, respectively. Davis has just one home run against Kuroda but is a .285 hitter in his career off him.

Even if you don't like the movie, what is the one movie you know almost every word to?
It seems the question is a movie you don't like but still know all the words to, so I'll go with Star Wars. I have sat through exactly one Star Wars movie (the one where Anakin does a lava dance) but the memes are everywhere.
Movies I like and know all the words to are legion, but far and above all of them, I'd say Serenity.
{Joins Lisa in Nerdville}
ReplyCancelOH, and Princess Bride. I've read the book and watched the movie countless times.
Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
ReplyCancelDazed and Confused.. All I'm saying is that if I ever refer to these as the best years of my life, remind me to kill myself… That's what I love about these high school girls, man, I get older, they stay the same age.. The Fourth of July don't forget what you're celebrating..a bunch of slave owning aristocratic white males didn't want to pay their taxes…
The height of happiness: a quote-along showing of D&C at an Alamo Drafthouse.
ReplyCancelLOL. Only if the sausages come with a CHEESE HELMET I don't even want to think about how many movies I know by heart, this is among the most embarrassing though
ReplyCancelPrincess Bride! (Just before this movie was released, I was living and working production in TV and films. I was invited to see a screening. While watching the film, I was the only person laughing at the innuendo jokes. I was kind of embarrassed because here I am sitting with other supposedly "smart" film/TV people and they were NOT laughing. They didn't get any of the innuendos. Not even the person who invited me! And, that was the last time they invited me to a screening!)
ReplyCancelI know this is really weird but I actually have extracted many of my favorite movie audios into mp3s and listen to them on my iPod when I have to do something tedious (clean, plaint, yard work…no brainer activities etc). It makes tedious things so much more bearable. So I know many many movies by heart cuz I listen a lot.
I have over a 100 movies as mp3s but my faves are…
Sixteen Candles
Ferris Bueller
Just One of the Guys (hangs head in shame)
Office Space
Real Genius
Super Troopers
and many more
Bridget Jones' Diary… Mark's speech at the Smug Married party makes my knees go weak.
Most the BBC Pride and Prejudice… come on, that's like six hours long.
Probably could've at one time: Murder by Death and Clue (best double feature ever), A Christmas Story, Airplane!, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles, Weird Science.
Probably more that I can't think of now.
OMG, @Erin, I loved Better Off Dead! "Fronch fries! Fronch dressing! And.. Peru!"
ReplyCancelRocky Horror Picture Show
History of the World Part I
This is Spinal Tap
Monty Python's Meaning of Life
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python's Life of Brian
Wow, that's a lot more than I thought I'd know! But silly Enty, how would anyone ever learn all the words to a movie they don't like?

Wild enthusiam which is both inappropriate and false. Fake hustle is usually produced in the face of failure, fear, or extreme boredom. It is easily noticeable at speeches by Fidel Castro and Kim Jong-il and at corporate marketing retreats. Fake hustle also plays a prominent role in sports, where it is used to conceal basic incompetence.
Sprinting back to the dugout after a strike out is a wonderful example of fake hustle.

Originally a sports term referring to players not giving 100%; more prominently used to describe trickery, swindling, or any form of cheeky shenanigans. Popularized by NBA Analyst Mark Jackson.
Vince Carter was fouled hard in the face, apparently having one contact-lense knocked out. While slowly making his way towards the foul line, he could be seen blinking his left eye and looking up towards the lights. After continuing to show signs that he could not see straight, VC took the ball, knocked down both foul shots, and jogged away laughing, pointing at Mark Jackson on his way back down the court. That's fake hustle.

I love, love, love, love this story! Your Hermione is very in character, very cannon. She is the closest to Rowling's I have ever seen in fanfic. I love seeing the events of the books through her eyes; it's a cool way of reliving the stories but from a different perspective. I don't know why it took me so long to read this, but now I am going to continue on with the others. Thanks for the great writing!

Thanks for the update! It was as riveting as ever! I loved all of Ron's reactions, and got a chuckle out of one of Hermione's comments about Ron returning to being an eager sports fan. Hermione's thoughts during the talk of phoenix song were especially touching.

Oh, jaysus! I keep reminding myself that I've already read this story, I know what's going to happen. And yet, here I am at the end of every chapter, wide-eyed, breathing shallowly, on the edge of my metaphoric seat.
And, then, today, you crack me up! "a recipe for resurrected Dark Lord. Add water and stir. Serve cold." I'll be hooting over that one for a while! Good work, dear author! Indeed, very fine work!
Date: 08/21/2008 03:33 PM Title: Twenty-Four: Ready to Tell
Wonderful chapter! This is a really innovative rendering of that time and the emotions that people must have been going through after Cedric's death. I'm wondering when Hermoine will start liking Ron, though! ;)

Just heard that bobby got disqualified for breaching article 151 in the asp tour rulebook!
He said "First of all, I'd like to say (an the ASP are going to fine me) 'cuz I don't want to be a part of this dumb f***ing wannabe tennis tour. All these pro surfers want to be tennis players. They want to do a halfway cutoff. How the f*** is somebody who's not even competing against our caliber of surfers ahead of 100 of us on the one world ratings. They've never been here. They've never ****ing made the right to surf against us, but now we're ranked upon them. Come on now. That's Bull****. That's why I ain't going to these stupid contests no more. This is my last one because FTW, my sponsors is here and I just tell it like it is. This is my last one and I don't like tennis. I don't like the tour… Who gives a f***? You know what I mean?I've been here before. I love this city. I'll tell you right now, if my sponsor wasn't here, I wouldn't be here for this dumb contest. ASP? They f***ing…surfing's going down the drain thanks to these people.
what are your thoughts? I say right on Bobby! ASP is ruining this beautiful sport!

- Great piece Review by Hudini
Quality I bought 2 for my nipples, fantastic. Wish they had a rattle in the large one? A little small for my PA,it's stretched out to 00 but made larger with a rattle and I'd buy it.

Quality Beautiful rings with just the right added weight to swing gently. Perfect!

- Pendulum swing is a wonderful thing! Review by Lawrence
Quality Decided to go with progressive sized rings for my 4 Hafada 8 gauge piercings 1/2", 5/8", and two 3/4" (wanted 1" for he last one but wasn't offered). I went with the 8&10 bead combination and I really enjoy them! I also have three 6 gauge barbell frenum piercings with 10mm balls so they all match nicely. Love the way they hang down and the weight of the large beads offers a very nice tug. By going with the progressive sizes the visual is awesome and when walking the beads make a very pleasant kinking sound. The Chain Gang had them adjusted perfectly so that the captive bead is solidly held yet able to freely swing, wonderful feeling!

- nipple piercing fun Review by just another guy
Quality I got a pair of these in 8g with the 8/10mm beads for my nipple piercings. The weight is great, not too heavy for everyday wear, but enough to make sex a bit more interesting (especially when my boyfriend was doing me from behind :). With a loose tshirt on there's a little bit of bounce to them, so it's like all day nipple play (driving down bumpy roads feels pretty damn good too).

I started out last year with a 12 guage hafada captive bead ring. I love the added weight as well. I ordered the 8 & 10 mm Balls, 10 gauge - (2.4 mm), 1 inch. Thank you ChainGang. Will be back again.

- Best Ever Review by Anthony
Quality This product is the best jewelry I've ever purchased for any piercing I have. I'm upset I didnt know about this site before. I purchased this for my frenum piercing (I'm cut) and the amount of weight this bad boy gives. I was pierced at a 10g in 2011 and about 3 months ago I stretched to an 8g. I have the largest/heaviest bead sizes available. It feels good to freeball with it and self pleasure has been wonderful. Haven't tried sex yet but I'm sure it'll be fine. I wear mines 24/7. Not expensive at all. Shipping took about 3 weeks. I ordered free, no tracking shipping but next time will deff pay for faster product delivery. Can't wait to experiment with other fun products on here. Oh, the only minor issue is that the beads were stiff. I thought they would be more loose, but it's fine no big issue. I have pics available if you like to see, my kik messaging is antrozay. Not giving my cell or email address.

- Great Product, just what I was after Review by connie
Quality Got these after my husband said he wanted something larger and heavier in my nipples! We both love them. Got the 8 guage 3/4inch with 8/10 mm balls and I love the weight and feeling from them. Excellent product and feels wonderful with just the right amount of weight and tug to stretch to the 6g in time.

- Overall decent Review by Mark
Quality I ordered this for a PA up size and to aid with stretching due to extra weight. However, one of the rings came with a major imperfection on the top of the ring making it unusable. At least the order came with two.

- Quality Review by Rick
Quality I am always pleased with the quality jewelry that I receive from The Chain Gang.
I already had a double ball closure pendulum captive bead ring, but I ordered the next size gauge. So now I have the largest size listed for this item. I hope by the time I want to go even bigger, they will make these bigger. The size and the extra weight feels amazing and my wife loves how it makes her feel. I couldn't be more pleased.(Posted on 2/12/13)
- Love It! Review by James
Quality Got the 12g with 5/6 balls, wanted something with a little weight to it for my nipples - love the feel! Going to enjoy these for the time being then consider upsizing with a heavier ball.
First order with The Chain Gang - I'll be back!(Posted on 2/3/13)

- Feels great Review by Mac
Quality Being a nudist I like to wear this in my frenum piercing while out in and around the pool. It dangles as you walk and gives you that little thrill as you walk. Quality is excellent only thing I need now is to go up in size to a 4 gauge, but you don't offer it...

Quality Awesome quality and if you like some weight this is the bead ring for you but if you order them for a guy make sure to get 9/16 or 1/2 but if you like larger sizes then 7/8 is what you want and the beads are also easy to change out.

Quality This was worth the xtra wait as it is very well made. I use this as a weight dangle on my non pierced PA to hold that in just the right way for maximum yet suttle affect. Seems to help keep a precum flow going to help with enlarged prostate problems (drainage) for my age all day long. I take things off for overnight hours and back on next day.
I keep some petroleum gel handy to lube the
pa ring to help eliminate any chaffing. Wearing loose clothing also helps. Use jockey colored nylon boxers which my wife likes very much. Although somewhat transparent I wear the jockey boxers to the beach and pool and enjoy the staring looks of the women who in disbelief notice something shiny dangling under the transparency of the boxers from the suns rays. I use a long shoe lace inserted under the waist band fabric which makes it look more like a bathing suit. I hope this gives others some ideas who may also enjoy this type of sexy, non threatening fun. Enjoy life!!!(Posted on 2/29/12)

Hornish on Course for Impressive Martinsville PerformanceOctober 23, 2012-Shell-Pennzoil Dodge Charger Driver Eager To Return To Cup's Shortest Track After Two-Year Hiatus-MARTINSVILLE, Va. (October 23, 2012) - Sam Hornish Jr. is hoping to continue from where he left off in Sunday's TUMS Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Hornish last visited the scenic little .526-mile paper-clip-shaped track for the October 2010 race and is eager to continue the progress he has shown behind the wheel of the Shell-Pennzoil Dodge. "Martinsville is another track where our competitiveness is not accurately shown in our statistics there," said Hornish, who will be making his seventh career Martinsville NASCAR Sprint Cup start in Sunday's race. "In the six races we've run there entering this weekend, I think it's a fair statement to say that we showed steady improvement." The numbers certainly do reflect Hornish's progress along the way. In six prior Cup starts during the 2008-2010 seasons at Martinsville Speedway, Hornish has a 30.3 average start and a 28.3 average finish. He made solid steps forward and posted his best start and best result to date during his last two trips there. Entering this weekend's return, Hornish's best finish, a 13th, came in the spring race of 2010. His best start, a 24th, came in the fall race there that season. "When I first raced at Martinsville, I immediately thought of when I was growing up and racing go-karts," Hornish said. "We used to run indoor hockey venues and Martinsville reminded me of those smaller tracks like that. You can count on there being a lot of beating and banging on every restart at Martinsville and there is always someone trying to get right in there on your inside. "I think it's a track where I have learned better how to race there in each visit," said Hornish. "But no matter how many races you may have under your belt there, the objectives always remain the same. At Martinsville, you just have to stay out of trouble, try to keep your nose clean and keep the brakes on the car as much as you can. It is a track that tests your patience from the beginning of the race till the very end. It is really challenging, mentally, physically and on your equipment. The bottom line is you have to keep your cool and take care of your brakes, tires and fenders. "It's really about not overdriving at Martinsville," Hornish added. "Especially during qualifying, the track seems to bait you to drive in that extra 10 feet. When you do that, it may not feel bad, but it shows up on the stopwatch. That 10 feet can be the difference between starting 10th and starting 20th so you have to be aware of what you're doing at all times." Hornish's continuous progress in Sprint Cup competition at Martinsville and on all the tracks has been quite impressive. In his first full season on the tour in 2008, he had a 28.0 average start and 29.6 average finish. In 2009, it was a 23.4 average start and 25.0 average finish. In 2010, he had a 20.8 average start and 24.9 average finish. In his 16 starts this season entering Martinsville, Hornish has a 15.6 average start and a 19.0 average finish. The figures are impressive, especially when considering there are two DNFs (not of his doing) that enter into the 2012 equation. "This is a track that I have definitely been looking forward to returning to," said Shell-Pennzoil Dodge crew chief Todd Gordon. "The record book shows that the 22 team had our best finish this season there in the spring race with AJ (Allmendinger) driving. I know a lot of people remember that the race came down to a final restart and we got the best out of the situation. But the fact is that we had a solid top-10 car during the last half of the race. "We're coming in there this weekend with a hundred percent Sam Hornish," Gordon said on Monday night. "This is all the racing that Sam will be doing this week - total focus on the Cup side and our Shell-Pennzoil Dodge. Unlike last weekend at Kansas where there was the new track and an advantage to running both Nationwide and Cup, this is the same old Martinsville. Sam has nothing to concentrate on but the Cup race. "One of the greatest assets in working with Sam is that he comes into every race with such a positive attitude," said Gordon. "It doesn't matter what size track or where we're racing that weekend, Sam is always optimistic and on an even keel. He always comes in there so energetic and ready to get to work behind the wheel of the Shell-Pennzoil Dodge. "That'll certainly be the case again this weekend at Martinsville," said Gordon. "I know for a fact that there are drivers who will absolutely dread having to race there this weekend. Their attitude will have them defeated long before practice begins on Friday. Sam may have not raced there in a couple of years, but he will already have the upper hand on a bunch of guys before the green flag falls to start the race there on Sunday." Martinsville Speedway holds the distinction of being the location for Hornish's only career start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Hornish started 16th and finished ninth in the Oct. 18, 2008 Kroger 200. Driving a Penske Truck Rental-sponsored Dodge out of the Bobby Hamilton Racing stable, Hornish was one of 23 drivers who completed all 200 laps. Hornish, Gordon and the Penske Racing No. 22 Team will be utilizing the "PRS-828" Shell-Pennzoil Dodge Charger in this weekend's TUMS Fast Relief 400 at Martinsville. Hornish and team last raced this chassis in the September 2 Advocare 500 at Atlanta, where they started 15th and finished 11th. It was a new car for the Atlanta race and has not been utilized since. The "PRS-807" will serve as the backup Shell-Pennzoil Dodge. It was in the 22 team transporter serving as the backup at Phoenix, both Bristol races, the first Martinsville race, the second Richmond race and the second Charlotte race. It has never seen any track time to date. This weekend's NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule at Martinsville Speedway gets under way with Friday's practice from 12:00 noon till 1:30 p.m. Coors Light Pole Award qualifying to establish the starting grid for Sunday's 500-lap battle is set for Friday at 3:40 p.m. local (live on SPEED-TV). Saturday's schedule features practice sessions from 9:30 a.m. till 10:25 a.m. and from 12:00 noon till 12:50 p.m. (live on SPEED-TV). Sunday's TUMS Fast Relief 500 has a scheduled 1:30 p.m. local (ET) starting time at the 0.526-mile flat track with tricky inside curbing in the corners. ESPN-TV and MRN Radio will provide live coverage of all the action. # # #

Courses: BEDUC 260 Culture, Knowledge and Education; BEDUC 330 Race, Culture and Identity. Dana Prince (Mentor: Janelle Silva) Dana Prince is a doctoral candidate in Social Welfare. Her research and teaching are grounded in over ten years of school- and community-based public health practice with diverse youth. She has taught in public middle and high schools in West Philadelphia, as well as undergraduate and graduate level courses. She views education as both a critical form of social capital and a means of cultivating engaged participation in community life. To this end, her pedagogy is informed by experiential inquiry, real-world problem solving and a core belief in education as a vehicle for individual and collective empowerment and social change. Research areas of interest include academic and health outcomes for historically marginalized and underserved youth, the role of place and environment in youth identity formation, school-based intervention, and mixed methodology.

Summerville artist, Helen K. Beacham, recently surfaced again, after painting 30 paintings in 30 days. She was one of 220 worldwide artists who committed to the challenge, and after the 30 days were over, she was one of about 180 hearty souls who were still hanging in there.
Because Beacham normally invests many hours, and days, into each of her paintings, she had to adapt her methods and her way of thinking to stay afloat. What was the best part about it all? Helen explains, "I found myself choosing the smaller 4"x6" format due to the daily time constraints…and a pleasant side effect of doing that was the freedom I felt in choosing my subject for each day. A set of wooden stairs? A shelf full of cheeses? A lime green chair? All became fair game." An important part of the challenge was not only to complete the painting, but to post each one daily on her personal blog and write about it. She says, "I found myself going to bed at night, already thinking about tomorrow's painting! Luckily, I had the blessing from my family when I told them I was going incognito till it was over!"
Beacham's work is represented by Lowcountry Artists Gallery in Charleston where she, and much of her 30-day collection, will be featured during the month of May. For the first time ever, Helen will also be displaying & selling her art at this year's Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Marion Square from May 24 through June 8. Later this year, Helen is taking a group of artists to Venice, Italy for an 8-day painting workshop (Oct 12-20). For details about her workshops or her art, please visit www.helenKbeacham.com or her blog at www.helenKbeacham.blogspot.com.
Opening Reception at Lowcountry Artists Gallery: Friday, May 3 from 5-8 p.m. Show runs through May. For further information or for a list of updated events, please visit www.LowcountryArtists.com or call 843-577-9295. 148 East Bay St., Charleston, SC 29401.

Best Delaware Plastic Surgeon for My Breast Augmentation
This section of our website is designed to make it easier for you to find and screen qualified plastic surgeons in Delaware.
Because selecting the best Delaware plastic surgeon for your breast augmentation is your top priority, we suggest setting up consultations with more than one doctor so you can find the one who you connect with most.
Delaware Breast Augmentation Consultation
Your breast augmentation consultation is an opportunity to meet, not only a possible plastic surgeon, but his/her staff as well. See if you feel comfortable with how you are treated and the way the office "feels."
There are many plastic surgeons in Delaware to choose from. Use our site to help you to research and learn more about the doctors that specialize in breast augmentation, breast implants and many more cosmetic surgery procedures. But you don't have to rely on just us.
We encourage you to also ask friends who have had breast augmentation surgery in Delaware about their doctor – if they would recommend him or her and why.
You may also obtain a list of Delaware plastic surgeons, through professional organizations, such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and your local Delaware medical society.
Delaware Breast Implants Before & After Photos
Finally, you may also want to view and print out some breast augmentation before and after photos and breast implant photos by Delaware cosmetic surgeons, or any surgeons you find here on LoveYourLook.com with our Beauty Portfolio. We suggest bringing these pictures to the consultation to help in the discussion with your surgeon about what your plastic surgery goals are.

Fahrenheit Heat Wave Ceramic Flat Iron (1 1/4")
SarahBroke Within 1 WeekI bought a Fahrenheit straightener at a discount retailer. I chose this straightener because it said it had a lifetime warranty. The straightener broke within the week and no longer turned on. When I went to look at the warranty, you have to send in a $25 check for processing fees along with the broken straightener for it to then be fixed. It was a total rip off and I'm never buying from them again.posted Sep 4, 2013Link to this post
AngelinaHairBlackDry HairThick or Coarse HairThe Perfect Flat Iron!I have VERY thick, curly, coarse hair but this iron works wonders for me! I bought the Instyler a few years ago (I spent $120 on that thing) but it just made my hair frizzier, puffier, and drier. This baby can magically make my hair super soft, silky, and smooth! Not only did I love the iron but I absolutely loved the price. I DEFINITELY recommend this flat iron to every girl who wants perfect straight hair! (:posted Jun 17, 2013Link to this post
MelanieWauwatosa, WIHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairLet's Straighten Some Things Out...Firstly, this will straighten your hair. Mine is curly and I straighten it at 425 degrees, some areas needing a couple passes.
HOWEVER: It pulls. It does not make my hair look shiny or sleek. I use Dove Heat Protectant spray, and while I know that helps... it's not a wonder product for all the damage this straightener is causing my poor, color treated hair. I only straighten my hair once a week. If I don't straighten it, I will do big waves with this. It does the waves very well, so in that aspect, it's good. But any straightener with 1-1 1/2'' plates will allow you to do that.
The big problem is, if these really are ceramic plates, why the no shine? When I borrow a friend's or my mom's, my hair always ends up shiny and bouncy. Not with this. My hair looks more fried than ever and I have been trying to correct the problem with hair masques, conditioning treatments and serums and my hair seems to be okay until I use this straightener again. The split ends I have been getting are worse than ever before.
Do your locks a favor and save them the abuse that is this straightener.posted May 29, 2013Link to this post -

Adrian B.OhHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairBurning, Damaging And PullingThis flat Iron gets so hot that even when I use a heat protecting spray my hair is fried. The worst thing about this item is that it pulls the hair out of my head, I can feel and hear the snapping... Therefore I would not suggest this flat iron to anyone, my hair was thick healthy, shiny and beautiful and now I have to spend a lot of $$$$$$ to by repair products and not to mention get my hair chopped off.posted Nov 11, 2012Link to this post
TaylorFloridaHairMedium BrownNormal HairDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairNot Worth The PriceI found this straightener at a department store for $30 and the ruby red color had me so excited. When I first plugged it in, it made crackling noises as it heated up. It heated up quickly and was so-so at straightening the few pieces I tried, but it does pull the hair. I am in need of a haircut to manage my ends, but I was surprised to find that the straightener was pulling the little pieces out and making the split ends worse. I didn't use on my whole head, since I've already decided to return it, so I didn't give it a chance to pull out whole strands of hair - though I have no doubts it would have. Since I live in Florida, the humidity forbids me from straightening too often - but I am moving to Germany and was hoping to find a straightener that wouldn't damage my hair so I could take advantage of the colder weather. I will be returning this & would not recommend this to anyone who straightens their hair frequently as it will do a lot of damage.posted Oct 15, 2012Link to this post

BlackgirlhairNew JerseyHairBlackCurly HairThick or Coarse HairThis Is The Best Flat Iron For Black Girl Kinky And Nappy Natural Hair! Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bought, was doubtful it would be a good one because of the discounted price, but guuurrrlll was I wrong. This got my hair silky straight!!! It was smooth on my hair. I see other people are saying it fried their hair but it didn't do that to mine and I used it on 450 degrees. However, please note that you must flat iron your hair in very small sections and I only do touch ups like once a week. I make sure I wrap my hair every night. So perhaps the people who have fried hair use this on their hair every day. Also, I have noticed that the texture of my hair has changed. I don't have a relaxer and my hair is 100% natural and very long thanks to wearing sew ins for the past 6 years. But after using this flat iron I can wash my hair and add leave in conditioner (mixed chicks) and rock my hair natural with beautiful curls instead of the dry afro I used to have. This is 1000000 times better than a relaxer! Worth every penny!!!!!!!posted Sep 12, 2012Link to this post

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Even though smartphones have eroded the sales of digital compacts at the lower-end of the market, the high-end models using relatively large 1/1.7-inch type sensors continue to be popular. The DMC-LX7 is Panasonic's compact "expert"' model aimed at amateurs and advanced users alike, and replaces the previous iteration, the highly regarded DMC-LX5. This new iteration might represent a serious challenge to both the Canon PowerShot G15 and the Nikon Coolpix P7700. |
Last year, photography headlines noted a revival of enthusiasm in the old-fashioned camera sector. The most active manufacturers for this segment were Olympus with its PEN camera and Fujifilm, with its Fuji X100 one of the most acclaimed cameras of 2011. |

Hi everyone. Thanks so very much for your tips on painting photoetch.
I recently received a Tamiya 1/350 IJN I-400 submarine kit and am wondering if anyone got one with the clear hangar/conning tower part(s)? It would be nice to have them. I've e-mailed the company about whether the parts are available. If anyone has any other suggestions for getting the parts, thanks in advance!

I just got the Cottage Industries resin kit of this nifty sub. Before I paint it up though I really would like to know what the construction of it was. Was it copper clad wood? Steel? I just looked around the web but didn't find any details on the construction. I thought I once read somewhere that it was copper plating, but I'd appreciate any comments people here have about what it was made from, for paint color purposes.

OSCE Guide on Gender-Sensitive Labour Migration Policies Russian
Jan 11 2011
Download right click "save as"
This guide attempts to analyse some of the most pressing gender issues in contemporary labour migration. It seeks to highlight the rationale for including gender-sensitive measures and ways to implement them into the migration policies of countries of origin and destination, as well as in bi- and multilateral agreements. By presenting good practices and providing tools on how to shape migration processes, the Guide aims to assist and encourage OSCE participating States and Partners for Co-operation to enforce current legislation as well as develop and adopt policies and programmes for female migrant workers that are more gender sensitive. In this way, it should encourage migration policies to be formed in a more gender-just way.

Beyond Measure: Conversations across art and science is a new exhibition at Kettle's Yard, Cambridge that explores how geometry is used by artists and astronomers, engineers, surgeons, architects, physicists and mathematicians — among many others — as a means to explain, understand and order the world around us. Built around a series of workshops, talks and discussions, Beyond Measure will offer many different ways of engaging with geometry, and many different views of the world we live in. The exhibition draws parallels between the artist's studio, the laboratory and the study as equivalent places for thinking, imagining and creating.

Have you ever attended a Royal Institution Mathematics Masterclass?If you have, then the Royal Institution of Great Britain would like to hear from you. Since 1981 the RI Masterclasses in Mathematics have been enriching school maths for 12 to 14 year-olds. Now the RI is for the first time undertaking an independent evaluation of the programme. "This is a very exciting opportunity," says Sara Santos, Clothworkers' Fellow in Mathematics at the RI, "We are seeking to further improve our already successful programme, even perhaps reshape it to challenge and enthuse our finest young minds." If you have participated in any of the RI Mathematics Masterclasses for Young People (any time between 1981 and now), you can now record your memories and reflections in this on-line questionnaire. The questionnaire takes around 15 minutes to complete. "It might be a precious amount of time for you, but your feedback is invaluable for us," says Sara. "We are also trying to keep in touch with the Masterclasses community." To keep in touch, please visit the RI website, email the RI on firstname.lastname@example.com, or join the group RI Mathematics Masterclasses for Young People on Facebook . posted by Plus @ 2:29 PM 0 Comments: |

Maths and Science through the medium of songThey say that music is a very mathematical pursuit. Here at Plus, we have written about mathematics and music many times. The MASSIVE database is a website that contains information on over 2500 science and mathematics songs. Some songs are for children, others for professors. Some are by professional recording artists, others recorded in garages. The site is maintained by Greg Crowther, who is affiliated with the University of Washington, Science Groove, and the Science Songwriters' Association. MASSIVE is part of the US National Science Foundation's National Science Digital Library. My personal favourite science song? She Blinded me with Science by Thomas Dolby — and you can find this song in the database. Another way of tracking down science songs is by doing a search for science at LastFM.

The Big QuestionsAs part of this year's National Science and Engineering Week, the BA are running a project called The Big Questions, which challenges the public to pose their burning science and engineering questions through live events, online and via the media. Sir Roland Jackson, Chief Executive of the BA, said: "Questioning is at the heart of scientific discovery. From evolution to space exploration British scientists have always been courageous in asking and solving some of the big questions of their time. In doing so, they have expanded our knowledge, earned our respect and enriched our lives. We want to celebrate our nation's innate curiosity by encouraging the public to share with us their big questions on life, the universe and beyond. In return, we will ask some of our best scientific brains to come up with an answer." Helping to answer the questions are Oxford University Press, Brainiac LIVE!, The Punk Scientists, The British Library and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. Questions that have been asked already include:
Scientists who have posted their own questions include:
You can find a list of the questions that have been posed so far, or post your own question, at: http://bigquestion.wordpress.com/. The event will be launched to the national media on 6th March. The BA is currently looking for more scientists and experts to help answer some questions, and so if you know the answers to any of the questions posed and want to help out, you can answer by posting on their blog. Apart from online, other Big Questions are going to be answered at events organised by the Science Museum, Jodrell Bank, the National Botanic Garden of Wales, Cambridge Science Festival and the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. posted by westius @ 5:01 PM 0 Comments: |

Justin Howard led off the 10th with a single off New Hampshire reliever Tyson Brummett. Gift Ngoepe followed with a bunt single, sending pinch runner Drew Maggi to second. After a fly out, Santos hit an 0-2 pitch into center to score Maggi.
Altoona scored first, in the fifth inning, when Charles Cutler tripled and Carlos Paulino drove him in with a single to left.
But the Curve scored two in the eighth on Santos' two-run homer to take a 3-1 lead.
Kenn Kasparek (3-1) got the win in relief for Altoona.

Hi guys,
I am building a Subtech Marlin. There seems to be two different size ballast tanks, one is for the Marlin and one for the Albacore.
Does anyone know what size ballast tank is for the Marlin? Maybe someone could give the demensions of their tanks in either two kits. What I have now seems to be the smaller of the two tanks.
I just want to build the Marlin right and have the correct parts.
Thank you,
r/c kelley
